About Our Parks
All of the Township boards and commissions are made up of residents who volunteer their time and energy. For the past 10 years the Board of Supervisors has recognized the men and women who volunteer for our Township by hosting a dinner and giving gifts of appreciation. Each board meets monthly. Their various duties include phone calls and meetings, emails, visits to sites and hosting events—all of which benefit the Township and our residents.
This past October we lost one of these dedicated volunteers, Mark Kelly, to ALS. Mark served enthusiastically on the Historical Commission for nearly 20 years. He truly loved this Township and was enamored by its history and committed to its preservation. In honor of Mark and his service, the Board of Supervisors established a Volunteer of the Year Award.
Mark Kelly will be missed by everyone in our Township but Jim, JP and Sheri found a way for us to promote his sense of dedication and commitment and pass it on to future generations.
In February, at the annual volunteer appreciation dinner, the Kelly family was presented with this posthumous award for Mark’s many years of dedication. The Kelly family was honored and accepted it with grateful hearts.
To determine future recipients, a committee is being formed to evaluate nominees. The criteria for this award are to be a resident and to volunteer in some capacity to better the Township. We are fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers that this committee’s task, to pick one outstanding volunteer, may prove to be quite challenging. The 2017 recipient will receive a plaque of recognition and gratitude, their name will be engraved on a plaque displayed at the Township building and a donation, in their name, will be made to the ALS Foundation.

Township Manager LetterHello fellow residents! As a whole, we are doing an excellent job recycling. Last year our recycling contractor reported over 462 tons of our waste was recycled—so thank you. Improved technology at the recycling facility gives us the ability to look closely at where we can improve our recycling efforts.
One of the main areas of concern is contamination. Contaminated recycling is an increasing problem in our community because recycling materials that are contaminated cannot be recycled and may be sent to landfill.
What is Contamination?Recycling becomes contaminated when items are placed into the recycle bins that cannot be recycled. This would include materials such as plastic bags and food that remains inside of containers placed in our recycling bins. If the amount of contamination is too high then recyclables may be rejected and diverted to landfill. The items that we most commonly find in recycle bins that we are NOT currently able to recycle
through our single stream service are plastic bags, rubbish and food. Recycling must be placed into recycle bins clean, dry and loose.
Why is Contamination such a Big Issue?Depending on the level and type of contamination, it could result in a whole vehicle load being rejected and then sent to landfill, something none of us want. This means that perfectly good recycling may go to waste and undermines people’s efforts of separating out their waste for recycling. It also means the cost of recycling may increase while the rate at which we recycle decreases.
If you have any additional questions please visit our website at www.thornbury.org, or contact our Recycling Coordinator, Geoff Carbutt, at [email protected] or 610-399-8383 (ext. 107). Thank you for helping make Thornbury a better place to reside.

Daffodil Tradition Lives On…Thanks to these young
volunteers (at left) led by
Township resident Lisa
McGonagle, 300 bulbs were
planted last November in
Palmer Arboretum. We hope
you enjoy them. We encourage
everyone to join us in the
fall in planting more bulbs
throughout the Township.

My fellow Supervisors and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some information and comments.
Welcome Kelly Daudert! She is our new Junior Supervisor. With this position she will participate in discussions and will provide input at our Public Meetings. Kelly is a senior at Rustin High School and we look forward to working with her the remaining of the school year. This is our fourth year with the Junior Supervisor Program; the first three were excellent and we expect this year will be the same. Our board is always looking to educate and inspire our youth in local government. In April we will be holding our 9th Annual Local Government Day. On Local Government Day we invite Rustin Students to listen to guest speakers like Representative Tom Killion, County Council’s Chairman, Mario Civera and District Attorney, Jack Whelan, just to name a few. This is an informative and fun day for our future leaders. Many thanks to all who have helped develop these programs.
We would like to thank everyone at Grace Winery, for their warm hospitality in February as they hosted the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. This year was special; we instituted the Mark Kelly Volunteer of the Year Award. The award was bestowed posthumously and is an example and an inspiration to all of us. Mark, like many of our volunteers, donated his time and energy to our Township for years. It is important to this board to show the volunteers 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 interests you.
As usual, our spring and summer calendar is full of fun, please check out our schedule of events posted on our website or contact the office for more information. These events are only a success with the participation of our residents and volunteers. In closing, have a wonderful Spring, and we will see you around town!

Did you know?• Every two seconds
someone in the U.S.
needs blood.
• Approximately
41,000 blood donations are needed
every day.
• The blood type most often requested
by hospitals is Type O.
• A single car accident victim can require
as many as 100 pints of blood.
Why should YOU donate?• It feels great to donate!
• You get free juice and delicious cookies.
• It’s something you can spare—most
people have blood to spare… yet, there
is still not enough to go around.
• You will help ensure blood is on the shelf
when neede—most people don’t think
they’ll never need blood, but many do.
• You will be someone’s hero—in fact,
you could help save more than one life
with just one donation.
Keep Yard Waste Away from Streams
A few tips for handling yard waste:• DO follow your county and municipal
schedules for drop off or collection of yard waste.
• DO NOT use plastic or paper grocery bags, only paper yard waste bags.
• DO compost leaves or yard waste whenever possible. Find out more about composting and yard disposal from the Chester County Solid Waste Authority (http://www.chestercountyswa.org/) or Delaware County Solid Waste Authority (http://www.co.delaware.pa.us/SWA/).
• DO NOT remove leaves and other woody debris from the ground in natural areas of your property, which may include hedgerows and forested areas. Leaves and down woody material provide a great source of food and nutrients for microorganisms that are critical to maintaining healthy soils and plants.
• Yard waste like leaves, grass, and brush piled along stream edges suffocates and kills the trees and shrubs that are critical for avoiding stream bank erosion.
• Yard waste piled along streams can easily be washed into streams during large rain events. Once in the stream, this burst of organic material contributes a harmful excess of nutrients, which in turn robs the stream of oxygen needed by fish and aquatic insects. Oxygen depletion can be observed for a long distance downstream of these localized deposits of yard waste and ultimately compound in Delaware Bay.
• Leaves and other yard waste raked into streets often wash into storm drains, causing flooding, impeding stream flow, and creating areas of stagnant water that may create mosquito problems.

Planning CommissionTIPS FORSTORM SAFETY
On June 23, 2015 we were hit by a storm
that blew down trees which blocked many
roads and brought down wires which left
many residents without power for days.
This storm came with little warning. There
are many things you can do to prepare for
a storm of that nature:
News from Rachel Kohl Library
The library will be closed on Wednesday, March
16 for an all-county staff in-service day. The
library will also be closed on Sunday, March 27
for the Easter holiday and Monday, May 30 for
Memorial Day. Materials can still be returned to
the outside bin. Check out www.kohllibrary.org
and join our eNewsletter to keep up-to-date on
all programs.
Adult Program: Join us March 24 at 6:30pm
for “BustlestoBras:200YearsoftheFeminine
Silhouette”presented by Karen Jessee. From
hoops to halter tops, from bustles to bras, this
presentation of original clothing and images
reveals 200 years of influences that led to the
most outrageous changes in the feminine
silhouette. Whether appealing to the opposite
sex, establishing their class, or instigating
political statements, women’s fashions were far
from arbitrary. Changes in technology, culture,
politics, and the social climate all affected the
fabrics and the fashions of an era. Call the
library at 610.358.3445 or email kohllibrary@
delcolibraries.org to register.
Children’s Program: Join us for a “Block Party”
on Wednesday, March 9, at 10:30am or Friday,
March 18 at 3:30pm. An hour long free play

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. 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 number is (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. E/One suggests using an alarm panel with a Remote Sentry Module and generator receptacle. The Remote Sentry Module runs on battery so it can alert you to high tank levels when the power is out. The Sewer Committee is an advisory committee that 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.
Sewer Committee
Barns… Thornbury has many! Upon arrival in the New World, a settler’s top priority was providing shelter for themselves and their livestock. Second place went to establishing and storing sustaining crops. The English had a reluctance to build barns, due in part to their lack of experience. England’s mild climate and extensive pastureland made it unnecessary to house livestock in tight barns. Our severe winters and subsequent loss of many cattle led to the English’s eventual tight barn construction. Conversely, Germans built tight barns as soon as they could. The Rhineland’s severe winters and minimal pasture made it common to house and feed animals under the same roof that sheltered the family. By the early eighteen century, a two-level German
“Sweitzer” barn appeared in southeastern Pennsylvania. This barn was larger, more substantial and more versatile then any proceeding structures; including the one level ground barn being built at the same time. This multipurpose design from the Prattigau region of Switzerland housed various livestock in the lower level stable. The second floor could store hay and straw and accommodate threshing of feed grains. These grains were then stored in the bins in the granary usually located in the forebay. The forebay is the second floor extension, projecting over the front stable wall a distance that varies from four feet to twenty or more feet. The forebay, on the fore side of the barn, is the distinctive and diagnostic feature of the Pennsylvania barn. Access to the upper level of the barn is created by banking the barn (building into a hill) or by constructing a gentle ramp or bank leading to the second level.

choose a theme and then plan for months to transform the school into
something that is wildly creative. Students are amazed every year. At
post prom they enjoy dancing, playing games, snacks, entertainment
and yes, some even nap. This year’s PP will be held on Friday, May 13,
2016. In order to accomplish this Rustin parents of all classes are asked
to volunteer their time and talents and a small donation. See the Rustin
High School website for more information and how to get involved.
