Letter: Do, Lindner rebut Hellrung comments
To the Editor:
We were saddened and, quite frankly bewildered, by Mr. Hellrung’s attack against us and his endorsement of our opponents. The comments expressed are diametrically opposed to comments he has made to us personally. We guess it really is true that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Mr. Hellrung’s letter is ironic for two reasons.

Letter: Takes issue with Hellrung letter
To The Editor,
Shame on You, Jeff Hellrung!
It is a very sad day for the UCFD school district when a sitting school board member (Jeff Hellrung) uses his position to engage in politics in an election outside his region. Jeff’s scurrilous editorial attack on Kathy Do, Bev Brookes and Gregg Lindner has no place in schoolboard dynamics. It will only poison the well of our deliberations.

Letter: Do, Lindner have shown leadership
In June 2012, we relocated to the Philadelphia area with my husband’s company. It was our eighth relocation and we selected our new home based on one criterion, school district. Like many families in the district, we chose the UCFSD above all others based on its record and reputation. To become more involved in our community and my children’s school, I attend school board meetings. As...
Letter: Politics at center of UCF campaign
To The Editor,
How ironic that Region C UCF School Board candidates Brooks, Do, and Lindner are running on a platform that proclaims “Education Not Politics”. Brooks, Do, and Lindner have all been highly active in partisan politics for many decades and each has served as an elected official. I applaud their involvement in political action but that campaign slogan is very inappropriate...
Letter: Reminder no need for photo ID on election day
To The Editor,
In 2014 the courts ruled that the Pennsylvania Voter ID law violated our state constitution. So you can imagine why I was shocked when earlier this month, as I entered the Chester County Assistance Office on behalf of a family in need, I saw three inaccurate and misleading posters stating that Pennsylvania’s Voter ID law was in litigation and that you could be required to show a photo...
Letter: Hoffman is the right choice for Kennett
To the Editor:
While every election is an important event, an opportunity to renew our individual commitment to our individual and community values, this election in Kennett Township is especially so. This is a year where the electorate nationwide is confused and frustrated. Outsiders with bombastic promises and outlandish charges promise unrealistic and inappropriate change. This approach at the state...
Letter: Brookes has conflict of interest
To The Editor:
I am concerned. Being new to Chadds Ford I have been researching my new home and community. I was very disturbed to discover a conflict of interest in the upcoming election. Public officials should be held accountable to the highest standards of ethics and should avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Therefore, I question why Beverly Brookes could be considered qualified...
Letter: New group needed if there is to be new Kennett library
To The Editor,
The Kennett Public Library hired Mcintyre Associates to conduct a campaign planning feasibility study for their proposed new library. The KPL essentially provided 23 carefully crafted questions for which they sought answers. They provided Mcintyre Associates with a list of 98 individuals to be interviewed, but only 41 (40.2%) chose to participate. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT RESULT...
Op/Ed: Olson, George, Cover best choice for PA
By Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh, Chester County Sheriff
Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh
Over the past few years, Pennsylvania’s highest court has been sadly rocked by scandals that have shaken the foundation of our courts to its very core. With the turmoil that has been surrounding the Supreme Court in recent years, this year’s historic election for the three statewide courts is more important...
Why is the Second Amendment more important than all other rights?
Spoiler Alert: It’s not, despite what some might want to sell you
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
Much has been said about a recent event at Patton Middle School in Unionville in which a parent left a gun in an unlocked, running car in the school’s parking lot.
While I’m not sure that the ending — the unidentified parent involved apologized to the school district and community, surrendered...
