Last year, the Board of Supervisors established a college scholarship for a graduating Bayard Rustin student. Please join us in congratulating our second recipient of this $1000.00 scholarship, Brianna Rebisz. Ms. Rebisz was awarded the
scholarship during the Graduation ceremony in June. She and her family were pleasantly surprised and very grateful. Rebisz, a resident of Thornbury Township, will be attending West Chester University and we wish her much luck and success as she pursues her nursing degree. Congratulations Brianna!

The Bulbs are Backin Thornbury TownshipOrder Online for Pickup at Thornbury ParkDuring the Fall Festival on October 20, 2013
Thirteen years ago the Park and Recreation Board set a goal to plant yellow daffodils along the roadsides in Thornbury Township for the enjoyment of residents and for people passing through our Township. Bulbs were sold to the
residents with the idea that they would plant them by the roadside (as well as the other gardens in their yards). Over 20,000 bulbs were purchased and energetic volunteers worked tirelessly to plant them. The Thornbury Historical Society has even named their annual house tour “Daffodil Day,” after our ‘signature flower.’ Longtime residents likely remember the program and perhaps it’s those little pops of sunshine throughout our town that have attracted some of our new-comers. Years have passed and the current Park and Recreation Board decided it was time to bring back the sale of daffodil bulbs. Place your order at thornbury.org and then pick up your bulbs at Thornbury Park during our Fall Festival on October 20, 2013. Plant them in your neighborhood and do your part to keep Thornbury Beautiful!

Hello fellow residents. We hope that you had a wonderful summer. Normally, I reserve this article to address all of the events that we have either held or those that are forthcoming. Instead, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the dedicated Thornbury Township employees that make each of these many events possible. It requires a true team effort.
Without their willingness to spend hours beyond the normal work schedule, none of this would be possible. We certainly hope that you have taken the time to appreciate their diligence. The care that is given to ensure that each resident’s needs are met during Movie Nights, Founder’s Day, the Fourth of July parade, our Memorial Day Celebration, and other events is gratifying to experience as both a resident and the Township Manager. The support of our Supervisors in carrying out the tasks at hand is equally important. If you have seen our staff working to prepare for, or working during these events, I am sure you understand
the message conveyed. Please join me in thanking each and every one of them for their commitment. Have a great autumn.
Jeff Seagraves, township manager

Township Manager LetterLEAF AND YARD DEBRIS PICK-UP WEEK
Pick-Ups Scheduled forNovember 18, November 19,November 20 and November 21
The Fall season ushers in with it a new
set of chores in the yard. Once you’ve
raked all the leaves, gathered all the fallen
branches, clipped your overgrown bushes
and mowed one last time, what should
you do with all that autumn yard waste?
There are several options. You could re-use
the yard waste. One such example would
be to compost the waste. Choose an area
in your yard to corral your leaves, grass
clippings and small branches. Oak leaves
are perfect for compost. Leaves are also
ideal for organic
mulch. Cover your
garden beds with
the fallen leaves.
The thick moist
leaves will prevent
weeds growing
until it is time to
plant the beds in the spring. They will
decompose into the soil, so there’s no need
to remove them! Just till the leaves and let
the nutrients sink into the soil.
If composting doesn’t appeal to you,
then please take advantage of our leaf
collection week. Pick-ups will occur
on November 18, 19, 20 and 21, 2013.
Decomposable bags are available at the
Township Building for $2.00 each. That
price covers the bags and the pick-up
service. Just come in to the Township, buy
your bags and register your address for
pick up and leave your bagged debris on
the street.
Thanks to Girl Scout, Kate RicciuttiTownship resident, Kate Ricciutti, prepared
an emergency preparedness kit to earn a
Girl Scout badge. The kit is on display at
the Township building for all the residents
to see and learn about the types of things
that one should include in their own
emergency preparedness kit. Nicely done,
Kate! Thank you for sharing.

RECENT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTIONS

My fellow Supervisors and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some recent activities and comments.
We are hoping everyone had the opportunity to visit some or all of our parks this summer. Our staff did an absolutely fantastic job maintaining and enhancing our public parks. If anyone has any ideas moving forward that we can entertain to makes thing better for the community, please feel free to contact the township.
Our ‘Fourth Friday’s’ once again were a great success. Founders Day kicked off the season and we did change things up a little this year. We are always open to suggestions for next season. Please feel free to contact Susan Daudert with all of your great ideas!
We are always looking for volunteers for our various boards and commissions. This is a great way to help in your community and get to know more people in your town. To get involved send a note with a brief description of your interests and we will contact you when a position comes available. We could not make things work without the many fantastic residents who currently are working with the Board of Supervisors in their various positions.
Please join us in wishing Sara Zang a fond farewell as Junior Supervisor, she did an outstanding job! Good luck to Sara, as she embarks on her college career. Sara has set the bar for all Junior Supervisors in the future. We look forward to our next Rustin Student to represent tomorrow’s leaders. This is an excellent program
and we are encouraged by the success we have seen thus far. In closing, have a great fall and we will see you around town! Jim Raith, Chairman board of supervisors

Update on Brinton Lee and Thornhill Sewer District #2: 1/3 Have Converted from Septic to Public Sewer!In the two years since this new sewer district (WSSD-2) was formed, 162 homes now have the opportunity to connect to a public sewer system. To date 62 homes have converted to public sewers with little or no problems. For the other WSSD-2 home owners, the sewer line exists in front of their homes. Since they have already paid the infrastructure cost of sewers in their district, now they too, can connect at any time. Today, there is another group of approximately 20 homes in the Fox Lair and High Point areas awaiting final DEP approval to begin constructing a public sewer system in that district. Once that project is complete, these updated homeowners will enjoy a
public sanitary sewer service that takes the burden of waste water removal away from homeowners. Septic systems have limited life spans of approximately 20 to 30 years and require periodic maintenance. If there a problem with a septic system, the damages may not be simple and could be a costly repair. Also public sewers allow expandability for adding pools or other property improvements not possible with an existing septic system. According to PA Act 537 if your septic system does fail and you have public sewers available, you are required to tie in to the public sewer. The reason being, a failing septic system can create exposure to raw sewage and therefore presents an environmental hazard. Having a public sewer connection may also affect the resale value of the home.
Adult Reading Club & ActivitiesThis fall we’ll see the return of our Civil War Book Club led by Widener legal history professor and Civil War scholar Michael J. Slinger, as well as our continuing Health Series sponsored by physical therapy group Action Potential. Action Potential brings us a topic the first Friday of every month to explore. September will feature “Understanding Medicare Therapy Benefits” and October will be all about keeping and regaining your balance to prevent falls as you age. The Concord Senior Center will bring its programming to the library every week with a pencil drawing class on Tuesdays from 9:30-11:30am and a watercolor class on Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30am.To usher in fall we’ll have a foliage design workshop in October with a master gardener. Lastly, for those beginning to
think of their college plans, the popular program brought to us by clarifi, “How to Have Less College Debt” will return September 24 at 6:30Ppm. Learn how to make informed decisions about school selection and create career and academic goals that match your financial goals and reduce your college debt.
Youth Reading Club & ActivitiesFirst Art (for infants) will be held on September 27 at 10:30am. Dance-Me-a-Story (for preschoolers) will be held on September 23 at 10:30am and Drawing Club, taught by a local artist, (for kids 8-15 years old) will be held September 11 at 4:30pm.

FUN SCHOOL LUNCHIDEAS
Corn and Zucchini Fritters
Make these the night before. Prepare a
batch of whole wheat pancake batter,
using about 1/2 the liquid (milk/water).
Stir in a cup thawed frozen corn, one
small grated zucchini and a handful
of Parmesan, and a sliced scallion. The
zucchini will add moisture; add more
liquid if the batter is too stiff. Cook until
golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pack with
Greek yogurt for dipping.
The Elvis Burrito
Spread peanut butter on a toasted whole-
wheat wrap, then sprinkle with crumbled
bacon and drizzle with honey. Place a
whole banana at the edge of the wrap,
then roll, pressing gently to break the
banana and form a cylinder shape. Or, slice
the banana, scatter, and roll.

Our Front Porches
“Nobody thought much about the front porch when most Americans had them and used them. The great American front porch was just there, open and sociable, an unassigned part of the house that belonged to everyone and no one, a place for family and friends to pass the time.”
–Rochin, The Front Porch, in Home, Sweet Home
Common to most of our Township’s historical properties, in many ways, the front porch represented the ideal of family. It was in essence, an outdoor living room where family could retire after activities of a long day. In the evenings, as the outdoor air provided a cool alternative to the stuffy indoor temperatures, the entire family would move to the front porch. The children might play in the front yards or the friendly confines of the neighborhood, while the parents rocked in their chairs, dismissing the arduous labor and tasks of the day into relaxation and comfort. Stories might be told, advice garnered, or songs sung. Whatever the traditions and manners of the family might be could be offered in this setting. What the family room or TV room of post World War II America would become, existed first as the front porch.
Front porches further represented the ideal of community. It existed as a zone between public and private, an area that could be shared between the sanctity of the home and the community outside. It was an area where interaction with the community could take place. It fostered a sense of community
and neighborliness. It served to connect individuals. The neighbors from next door might stop by one’s house, to sit on the porch and discuss both personal and community issues. The couple walking down the street might off a passing
“hello,” as they passed house after house whose inhabitants rested outdoors. The porch brought the neighborhood and community together, forcing interaction and an acute awareness of others. (Cited extensively from a University of Virginia project.) Trivia Answser: The Battle of Brandywine,
