Saving the Post Office
Handcuffed by Congress, Postal Service faces a murky future
By Nathaniel Smith, Columnist, The Times
I’ve always been a fan of the post office. I enjoy getting the mail out of the letterbox attached to my house six days a week; I like knowing that a mail carrier is walking around my neighborhood and going to people’s doors without asking for subscriptions or conversions. I enjoy taking...
Letter: Decline in fire volunteers a crisis in Pennsylvania
To The Editor,
A member of the Pennsylvania Senate was quoted last week as saying the decline of brave, volunteer firefighters has reached a crisis point across Pennsylvania. This sad state is endangering the welfare of all residents across the Commonwealth.
A newspaper article quoted Senator Kim Ward as saying is it well past the time for lawmakers to address this issue. I know some of our local...
Letter: Keep the library in Kennett Square
To The Editor:
In 1895 a group of Borough residents chartered a new subscription (private) library that was to remain in the Borough of Kennett Square and be dedicated to the remembrance of Baylor Taylor. The Bayard Taylor Memorial Library was founded.
Over the years this charter has increasing been ignored by BTML Board Members. They now want to move the library outside of the Borough and rename...

Letter: Morely would bring integrity back to district justice post
To The Editor,
Six years ago I supported Matthew Seavey for District Judge, however I am now supporting Nicole Morley at the May 19, 2015 Election. We need to bring “INTREGRITY” and “TRUST” back to District Court 15-4-04 and I know Nicole Morley is the right person for that job. While getting to know Nicole I discovered her dedication to her family and our community. Nicole brings...
Letter: Offended by attacks on Seavey
To The Editor:
I am terribly offended by Mike Mooney’s letter (April 29) to the editor regarding the record of Matthew Seavey during his five years as District Justice. Whatever his sources may be, neither he nor they have a clue about the job Seavey has done or they would be supporting him instead of implying he is corrupt. The fact is, he has operated his office with integrity and honor. Above...
Letter: Morley is best choice for district justice
To The Editor,
Often over the years when speaking with voters and asking them to vote for a particular candidate, I will hear something like this, “They may be a good person, but once they get in office…… they all go bad.” While I don’t necessarily agree with “….they ALL go bad.” I think there is something to be said for the old saying “Absolute power...

By Rep. Steve Barrar, State Representative, 160th District
State Rep. Steve Barrar (R-160)
It was a great honor for me to serve in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. Because of that experience, I understand the sacrifice and reward that comes with taking the ultimate risk to safeguard our communities and our country.
The experience also gave me a deep pride in my country, and each year,...
Letter: We can build a safe pipeline
To The Editor,
I have been a resident of West Goshen Township for 20 years and a resident of West Chester Borough the 24 years prior.
I recently attended the township meeting in West Goshen regarding the Mariner East project that was held at East High School. The ultimate concern of myself, my friends, and my neighbors, is the safety of the pipeline and the pumping station.
Letter: Supports Morley for District Justice
To The Editor,
I write in support of Nicole Morley for Magisterial District Judge. I have known Nicole for over 10 years and even had the pleasure working with her at the Chester County District Attorney’s Office. Nicole was a smart, fair, and hard-working assistant district attorney. She is an excellent trial lawyer, with thorough knowledge of the law and impressive speaking ability. ...
