About Our Parks

In 1979 the Dehm family moved to Thornbury Township. Joan shared her interest in history with her new friend Dick Luckenbach, who had recently founded the Thornbury Historical Society and as they say…the rest is history. THS is a community based, non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of Thornbury Township. When Joan has a vision, look out! There is no ‘sitting on the sidelines’ with Joan. She’s excellent at pulling people in to work together and with Joan’s sense of humor you are guaranteed a fun time. Joan has spearheaded many projects such as The Historic House Tour, The Pancake Breakfast, The Barn Dance, Buy a Brick program and the Historic Timeline in Thornbury Park. Joan’s boundless energy and passion for history has brought people together, built relationships, and forged a greater sense of community.

If you know someone who contributes and volunteers as generously and enthusiastically as Mark Kelly did, please submit their name to Jeff Seagraves ([email protected]) as a nominee for next year’s Volunteer of the Year Award.

“This town and all of you, the people in it, are so special. What an honor to accept this award, Mark Kelly was a hero.” Joan said through tears as she accepted her award. She thanked her children for being so patient, as she was busy organizing events and projects over the years and for begrudgingly volunteering themselves when they were younger. George Morely was the first recipient of this prestigious award last year and Joan was flattered to be in both George Morely’s and Mark Kelly’s company.

Mark Kelly, who didn’t let his ALS stop him from volunteering, would have been proud of this year’s recipient. With grateful hearts and misty eyes, Nina and Elyse Kelly accepted the donation to the ALS Association made in Joan’s name from Thornbury Township.

My fellow Supervisors and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some information and comments.

Welcome Rebecca Kinzly, Anna Panczner, and Tony Avella! They’re our new Junior Supervisors. With this position they will participate in discussions and will provide input at our Public Meetings. We look forward to working with them for the remainder of the school year. This is our sixth year with the Junior Supervisor Program. The first five were great and we anticipate this year will be the same. We are always looking to educate our youth in local government. In April we will be holding our Annual Local Government Day. This is just another commitment we have with our future leaders. Many thanks to all who have helped develop these programs.

We held our annual Volunteer’s Appreciation Dinner at The Inn at Grace Winery on February 25th. Our volunteers put a lot of their time and effort into our township and this is just a small way to show how important they are and how much they mean to our community.

There are many ways to get involved. Please contact the Township and let us know what you may have an interest in. We would like to thank The Inn at Grace Winery for once again opening their doors for us to be able to host this event.

With the winter months behind us, our roadways always take a beating. We will be working hard on our Township roads to get them back in order. Please let us know if you see anything that needs to be addressed.

We have many events planned for the year. Check out our schedule of events posted on our website or contact the office to find out what we have going on. These events are only a success with the participation of our residents and volunteers. In closing, have a tremendous Spring, and we will see you around town!

Township Manager LetterHello Fellow Residents! As you may be aware, our Board of Supervisors has actively supported and encouraged the involvement of our young residents in the township. This year marks the eleventh year of our Annual Local Government Day. Local Government Day is an opportunity for Rustin High School Students to meet local legislators and learn more about how their local government functions. Additionally, the Board has been joined the past six years by Junior Supervisors from Rustin High School, from January to June. The Junior Supervisor program allows those selected to join the Board of Supervisors and share information about events and accomplishments of the many clubs and activities in which students are involved.

This past year, the Board of Supervisors received a recommendation from the Historical Commission to scholarship students to attend the Freedoms Foundation Leadership Program in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

The Board of Supervisors approved two scholarships for students who are residents of the Township to attend the Freedoms Foundation’s “Spirit of America Youth Leadership Program.”

The Spirit of America Youth Leadership Program is a four-day residential program for high school students interested in cultivating a better understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship through thought-provoking, engaging activities. The Board has partnered with the West Chester Area School District to establish criteria for selection and ultimately determine the winners of the two scholarships. Good luck to those selected. The Board believes this is another sound investment in developing future leaders of our community.

According to the Red Cross, someone in the U.S. needs blood every

two seconds. For example: People in surgeries, people who have been in traumatic accidents and people with certain diseases, like cancer and sickle cell disease, all need donor blood.

On average, donated blood typically reaches a patient within ten days. No blood is released for transfusion without passing all of the required tests. (In the event that one or more test results is positive, the unit is discarded and the donor is notified.) Your blood donation doesn’t just reach one patient—a single blood donation may be able to help save three patients’ lives. Place Thornbury Township Building

Saturday, June 9, 2018Martin Park Additional acreage, assess the location and potential of a new Picnic area on the bluff overlooking the road. A wide, well-mowed trail will be necessary for access to the picnic area from the parking lot. A trail from this area will join the current perimeter trail. Identify trees and shrubs.

Saturday, July 14, 2018Palmer Arboretum This attractive site shows very little evidence of an Arboretum. We will see if significant trees and shrubs can be identified, and we will work towards marking and clearing the access trail from Thornton Road.

Saturday, March 31, 2018Barrett’s Meadow PennDot is nearly through with their additional wetland creation as compensation for the widening of Route 322 Conchester Highway. Once completed, the area will be returned to the Township. We will review the existing perimeter trail and potential picnic sites to determine if there are obstacles that will hinder Township maintenance such as boulders too close to a created pond for a tractor/mower to pass or trees (seedlings)planted in center of the existing trail. We can also identify important natural features such as an Indigo bush, unusual shrubs, “Oxbows” of the creek and outstanding trees. We will also assess the Crabapple forest; it can be an asset if kept under control.

Saturday, April 21, 2018Chester Creek Stream Cleaning(In conjunction with the CRCWA)

We will check the condition of Chester Creek for any natural blockage or debris of “civilization” that is a contaminant or eyesore. This will be followed by a picnic at noon under the auspices of the Chester Ridley Creek Watershed Association.

TIPS FORYARD SALE SAFETY

• Greet everyone: Say hello to everyone

who walks up and make sure they know

you have seen them.

• Keep watch: Do not go inside or leave

merchandise or a cash box unattended.

• Do not accept large bills.

• Team up: Negotiating a price is a major

distraction. Someone could try to get into

the house while you are busy with a buyer.

• Display the more expensive things in or

near the garage.

• Lock all of the house doors: Double

check the ones that are out of sight, like

the sliders out back or the front door.

Have your keys on you.

• Don’t let anyone into your home: Your

bathroom is not a public restroom.

• Keep your cell phone with you at all times.

• Don’t leave children unattended and

keep your pets inside.

• Inform the police if you have seen

something or someone suspicious.

Our Township’s Historical Commission (HC) 101 16 June 1996 Resolution No. 6 1996: The Historical Commission Mission Statement as described in the Township Code: Historic Commission members make recommendations to the Board relative to renovations to historic structures, historic districts, grants for various renovations, surveys of historical structures, and help to preserve the historical heritage of the community.

With the pro-active support of our Supervisors, The Historical Commission has refined, strengthened and deepened its mission. Spring 2009 revealed our newly formatted newsletter articles.

In 2010, we transitioned to a stronger use of the computer. The internet speeds communication and helps us continually grow our Historical Commission portion of the Township website. The newsletter and website are designed to entertain while educating about historical heritage.

Strong Board of Supervisors encouragement allowed us to partner with historical organizations within our township, surrounding counties and State and Federal government.

2011 strengthened our role in the Brandywine Battlefield Task Force. For many years we provided minimal input and we wanted to change that. Today our Township is an integral part of the decision making process of this 13 municipality committee.

Township partnering is apparent in the very key involvement of the Thornbury Historical Society (THS). THS co-spearheaded, in a tireless fashion, the Oral History program and award winning Thornbury Park Time Line project. These partnerships, together with the stabilization of Persifor Frazer’s house, are examples of what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets credit.

“POST PROM”

Senior Prom is May 11, 2018Nearly 75 percent of teens felt pressured

to use alcohol while another 49 percent

of teens said their friends encouraged

them to try drugs on prom night. Post

Prom is an all-night, alcohol-free, drug-

free, tobacco-free event immediately

following the senior prom, which is free to

students. Parents and underclassmen can

help. Anyone is welcome to volunteer, an

hour, a day—whatever you can give! This

tradition is provided by the many hours of

creative thinking, planning and working

by mostly parent volunteers. Whether your

child is a freshman, sophomore, junior or

senior, please consider volunteering. It

always turns out to be a lot of fun! Please

email Kelley at rustinpostprommail@

gmail.com. The fact that well over 90% of

the students attend this event is the best

possible indicator of its value. Not only a

safe activity for them, it is an unbelievable

opportunity for them to connect with

friends and for us as adults to have another

positive interaction with them.

Historical Commission Letter

The change in season is always a great time

to perform maintenance and inspections of

your sewer and septic systems. Spring is no

exception. Septic and grinder pump systems

need to be monitored to ensure that they work

properly throughout their service lives. When

these systems are properly maintained and

operated, they effectively reduce or eliminate

most human health or environmental threats

posed by pollutants in household wastewater.

Be sure to keep the low profile cover on your

grinder pumps clear of debris and mulch as the

units need to breathe to function properly and

not cause premature part failures. A Township

resident recently had a pump breakdown and

had to have two overheated parts replaced.

The E/One service tech cited the lack of

ventilation around the low profile cover as

the cause. Avoid allowing strong chemicals,

oils, diapers, plastics etc. from entering your

onsite and pump systems. Before an issue

arises due to harsh temperatures, it may be

best to contact your service providers about

any recommended preventative maintenance

or back-up devices that may be available.

For those with E/One grinder pumps, we

suggest checking out www.eone.com for

monitoring and maintenance information or

calling an authorized service representative.

Site Specific Design is listed as the service

provider for Eastern Pennsylvania. Their office

number is 215-887-3730 or toll free are 800-

295-8853. Hopefully we won’t experience

any power outages but; if we do, please be

sure to limit your water usage as much as

possible if you are on grinder pump system.

The tank does have storage capacity but

it is only adequate for the short term.

If you haven’t taken advantage of the

infrastructure already in place in the

sewer districts, it may be a good time to

revisit this decision. The Sewer Advisory

Committee wants to serve the needs of

the residents of Thornbury Township. We

invite residents to attend our meetings

if they are interested in public sewer for

their homes or if they have any other

sewer or onsite system inquiries.

Rachel Kohl Community Library

Subdivision and Land Development:Sweetwater Rd. Tract, Lots 2 & 3,

Security Gate Entrance:

At the November meeting the members

discussed proposed gates to be used for

security at the proposed driveway entrance.

A request for a shared driveway was also

reviewed and requires a waiver.

Pelura, 22 Natalie Rd., Lot Line Adjustment:

This lot line adjustment was discussed at

the November meeting. Concord Country

Club would be transferring a small piece of

land to the Pelura’s, which would make their

property more conforming. At the December

meeting the members voted to recommend

approval of the revised final plan to the Board

of Supervisors conditioned upon the applicant

complying with the Township’s engineer’s

review letter of 12/8/17.

Redding Sketch Plan, 158 Locksley Rd. This

three lot subdivision of 9.7 acres was last

discussed in January, 2015. This discussion

item was again placed on the October, 2017

agenda, at which time Ms. Redding was

requested to obtain further information

regarding property rights to Welsh Lane,

septic, water, trees, setbacks, steep slopes,

and wetlands. Discussion will continue upon

receipt of further information and different

layouts from the applicant.

Ordinances:Medical Marijuana Dispensary Ordinance:

The members began discussion of this draft

ordinance at the October meeting. At the

November meeting the members voted to

recommend adoption of this ordinance with

the addition of distance requirements from

education centers, recreation and playground

areas, and adding privacy fencing to the visual

buffer landscape screens adjoining a residential

use, as required by this ordinance. At the

December meeting a revised draft from the

Board of Supervisors was discussed and the

members recommended adoption of the revised

draft Medical Marijuana Dispensary Ordinance.

Reorganization:At the January Reorganization meeting, Jim

Quinn was re-elected as Chairman and Robert

Ferrara was re-elected as Vice-Chairman of the

Planning Commission for 2018.
