The King family is well known in Chadds Ford for their work in forestry through the family business, Chadds Ford Tree Service , but one family member has been blazing her very own trail.

Martha King, the daughter of owner and founder of the business Rob King, is blazing her own trail through the competitive world of Timbersports. With multiple podium wins at national and international events, Martha has chopped her way through the competition—and through setbacks, too.

The name “Birdie’s Links and Drinks” doesn’t adequately convey all the fun that everyone can have – and all the learning that golfers can gain.

Birdie’s is an indoor entertainment center, it explains on Facebook, with eight simulator bays to practice golf techniques. The simulators also allow people to use golf balls to play other games.

Something just wasn’t right – aesthetically, economically and environmentally.

For several years, Adam Brady, the supervisor of parks and open space for London Britain Township, would expend countless hours and gallons of costly petrol to hop aboard an 18-foot-wide township tractor and mow the entirety of Nichol Park in Landenberg, only to have to repeat the process a week or so later.

When they first drove by the former St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church at the corner of Saw Mill and Landenberg roads in the deep winter of the 2021 pandemic, neither Angus Fredenburg or Esther Han knew that it had once served as a house of faith.

They also did not know that it was once the home of the renowned artist Bernie F***h and his wife Roz duPont, nor that it served as an informal meeting place for a long litany of artists who formed an alchemy of creativity and conversation there.

With vision and patience, Angus Fredenburg and Esther Han have transformed a former sanctuary of faith and art and written a spectacular new chapter

As defined and applied, acupuncture is a healing modality that treats pain, illness and disease through the insertion of needles at various points in the body. By doing so, it regulates the flow of Qi -- the energetic “life force” that when allowed to flow freely creates health, balance and harmony.

When people think of West Grove, many things may come to mind: mushroom farms, Avon Grove High School football games and local businesses, but music may not usually be top of mind.

For local musician and recording artist Dan Orlando, however, it always is. Although he began playing piano at the age of six, he credits his time and connections in West Grove for nurturing his early passion for music.

Juan Tafolla earned enthusiastic applause from the Kennett Consolidated School District Board at its May meeting, as he reported on his return from a six-month excursion to Mexico.

He took the trip on behalf of the Kennett Square Borough Council to explore relations between the borough and his family’s province of origin, the State of Mexico, and, more specifically, the capital city of Toluca.

For many first-generation students who graduate from high school, the thought of their attending college appears far on the horizon, a distant but unlikely dream of ivory towers and higher education.

When Oxford Area High School seniors Daniela P. Ayllon and Emely Rodriguez stepped off the podium at the school’s commencement on May 31, they graduated with that dream firmly in their future.

Trevor Blyden bolts into Limits Fitness & Spa in Kennett Square – he has owned it since 2016 -- completely breathless, and actively removes his tie as he runs to his office and pulls a Clark Kent level transition from business attire to gym rat. He is less than a decade removed from the life he once knew – that of a prison inmate -- and he has accomplished more than many who didn’t have to restart their life several times. His best advertisement for training, for motivation, is himself.

Owning a boutique and making hats for a living may not have always been Oxford resident Tanna Walker’s expected career trajectory, but then again, passion has a way of changing things for the better.

Walker owns Freckled Feather Hats a hat decorating and styling business as well as Iron Antler Exchange , her boutique and storefront in Christiana, Pa., but before her passion for hat making took over, Walker previously worked in real estate. She has had her real estate license since 2009 but left the industry two years ago to devote her time fully to Freckled Feather Hats.

Residents of Yorklyn and Hockessin woke up one day in early September of 2021 to find that 10 acres of luxurious trees had been eviscerated along Yorklyn Road at the intersection of Hockessin Hills Road. Locals say they never saw the desecration coming, and they have been reeling from the event ever since.
