Oxfordian Spring 2026

A message from the Chamber President Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce

Spring Has Sprung in Oxford!

Spring in Oxford always feels like a fresh start. The days grow longer, the flowers begin to bloom, and there’s a renewed energy throughout our town that reminds us just how special this community truly is.

One of the highlights of our season was celebrating excellence at our Annual Chamber Dinner & Dance. Congratulations again to this year’s recipients of Citizen of the Year, Organization of the Year, and Business of the Year. Each honoree represents the very best of Oxford — leadership, generosity, innovation, and a

steadfast commitment to serving others. Their impact reaches far beyond their titles, and we are incredibly fortunate to have all three right here in our community. They are not only deserving of recognition — they are inspiring examples of what’s possible when people choose to give back.

As we turn the page to summer, our calendar is filling quickly with opportunities to gather, celebrate, and strengthen the bonds that make Oxford feel like home. We are excited for the return of beloved events like Movies in

the Park, our annual Chamber Golf Tournament, and the 2026 Oxford Harvest Festival, returning to OARA. Each of these events brings neighbors together, supports local businesses, and showcases the spirit that defines Oxford and the communities the Chamber supports.

But here’s the truth: none of it happens without volunteers.

It truly takes a village to build the community we all want — one that is vibrant, welcoming, and full of opportunity. Whether you can give

an hour, a day, or serve on a planning committee, your involvement matters. Volunteering is more than lending a hand; it’s investing in the future of our area. It’s how friendships are formed, traditions are strengthened, and new ideas take root. As President of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, I’m continually inspired by the generosity and enthusiasm of our residents and business community. Together, we don’t just host events — we build experiences. We don’t just support businesses — we champion one another. And we don’t just live here — we shape

the future of Oxford and our surrounding communities together.

This spring and summer, I encourage you to get involved. Attend an event. Volunteer your time. Support a local business. Invite a friend. Every small action contributes to something much bigger.

Here’s to a season of growth, connection, and community pride.

I look forward to seeing you around town!

Leading with Character, Building with Care

By Dave Slaughter Contributing Writer

For Johnny Johnston, community isn’t something you talk about—it’s something you practice every day in small, often unnoticed ways. It’s found in the conversations he takes time for, the commitments he keeps, and the spaces he helps create where people feel welcomed, valued, and encouraged to grow.

Johnny’s path to Oxford began far from here. Raised near Pittsburgh, his journey eventually led him west to California, where he met his wife, Jenna. Though life carried them across the country for a season, the desire to return East and build something rooted and meaningful never faded. In 2010, they chose Oxford as their home—a decision that would quietly shape the community in lasting ways.

At the center of Johnny’s work is people. For more than a decade, he has served as campus pastor at Willowdale Chapel in Jennersville, where he offers guidance, compassion, and connection to individuals and families alike. His involvement throughout Oxford has grown naturally over time, shaped by a genuine love for the town and a willingness to serve wherever he’s needed. That same mindset led to the founding of the Oxford Soccer Club, a nonprofit recreational league built on the belief that youth sports should be accessible, encouraging, and grounded in character rather than pressure. Serving young players in the greater Oxford area, the club removes many of the barriers that often prevent families from participating, emphasizing inclusion, affordability, and positive development.

Johnny is quick to say that soccer is simply the vehicle. The real goal is helping children feel supported and celebrated while learning what it means to be part of a team. This philosophy is woven into the culture of the club—from how volunteers interact with players to the intentional creation of opportunities for kids of all abilities.

His leadership extends beyond the field. Johnny serves with Square Roots Collective, volunteers with and serves on the board of Oxford Mainstreet Inc., and is a devoted husband and father to his two sons, Cohen and Reeve. In every role, he leads with consistency and care, believing that who we are becoming matters just as much as what we accomplish.

Those who know Johnny often describe him as a connector. He brings people together through presence— remembering names, listening well, and making space for others to belong. His impact isn’t defined by a single title or achievement, but by the steady way he shows up for others. Being named Citizen of the Year reflects what many in Oxford have experienced firsthand: Johnny Johnston leads with humility, builds with intention, and places people at the center of every effort.

Weaving Business, Community, and Service Into Everything They Do

The Sanders Team

By Christine Grove

Contributing Writer

The husband-and-wife team behind The Sanders Team embodies a rare and inspiring balance of family, professional excellence, community commitment, and a genuine heart for service. Jeff and Corrie Sanders have built more than a successful real estate business—they have built a brand rooted in relationships, integrity, and giving back.

Jeff proudly served the nation as a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps and was awarded the Purple Heart after being injured in combat in 2004. After returning home, he completed his college education at Penn State, searching for a career that aligned with his deepest values: people, service, and being part of something larger than himself. Real estate quickly emerged as the perfect fit, allowing him to serve others while building lasting connections in the community. A few years later, Corrie joined Jeff, bringing with her a strong background in marketing and contract negotiations.

Together, their complementary skills formed a dynamic partnership—one that balances strategy with heart and professionalism with approachability. What is their “secret sauce”? Is it their complementary strengths or their constant communication? Is it their shared love of people and their desire to see every client succeed? Or, as they simply put it, “It’s in our DNA to help those around us, so focusing on our community first is always our priority.” That philosophy is evident in everything they do.

From their popular Facebook series “Taco ’Bout It Tuesdays,” where they spotlight local businesses and nonprofits, to their financial support of numerous community events throughout Oxford and the surrounding area, The Sanders Team is everywhere—in the best way possible. They also give generously of their time, serving on local boards including Neighborhood Services Center, Oxford Area Recreational Authority, and the Oxford Area Historical Association, among others. Passionate advocates for veterans’

causes, Jeff and Corrie consistently show up for local events and use their platform to spread positivity and encouragement. They are tireless cheerleaders for the business community, the nonprofit sector, veterans, and the greater region they call home. Somehow, building a trusted brand, raising a family, and serving with kind hearts seems almost effortless for Jeff and Corrie.

And for those who wonder how this dynamic duo came to be—Corrie is happy to share the story. The two met at Penn State, where Corrie was swimming professionally and Jeff worked as the Membership Coordinator at the local YMCA. Corrie noticed the “cute guy” working the front desk, and Jeff remembered her name when she returned a few days later. The rest, as they say, is history.

A Cornerstone of Care for over 50 years

LCH Health and Community Services

By Christine Grove

Contributing Writer

For more than five decades, LCH Health and Community Services has been a cornerstone of care and connection in southeastern Chester County. Founded in 1973 by local Kennett Square residents, clergy, and community advocates, the organization was established to meet the needs of a primarily Latino population drawn to the area by employment in the mushroom industry. During a time when many families faced barriers to healthcare and essential services, LCH Health and Community Services became a trusted place where individuals could seek guidance, ask questions, and access critical resources. Early leadership by Peggy Harris and Margarita Quiñones played a pivotal role in shaping the organization’s mission. By introducing healthcare services, they helped LCH Health and Community Services to life and laid a strong foundation built on compassion, advocacy, and a deep commitment to serving the community with dignity and respect.

As the community continued to grow and evolve, so did LCH Health and Community Services . In 2012, the organization became a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and joined the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers (PACHC). This milestone expanded the organization’s capacity to deliver comprehensive, highquality care while maintaining its focus on accessibility and inclusion.

Today, LCH Health and Community Services strengthens the community by providing state-of-the-art, integrated, and personalized healthcare to individuals and families of all backgrounds. Known for its welcoming environment and communitydriven approach, the organization is recognized not only for the services it offers, but for the trust it builds with those it serves.

LCH Health and Community Services provides a wide range of services, including primary care, social services, women’s health, dental care, pediatrics, and integrated behavioral health. In the fall of 2023, the organization expanded its commitment to mental wellness with the

opening of the Pia Center for Behavioral Health, offering outpatient and group therapy services to better support the emotional and mental health needs of the community.

Through decades of service, LCH Health and Community Services has remained rooted in its mission to care for the whole person and strengthen the community it serves. By meeting people where they are and walking alongside them on their healthcare journeys, the organization continues to play a vital role in building a healthier, more connected community— today and for generations to come.

Additional information on LCH Health and Community services can be found on their website LCHCommunityHealth.org.

The Oaks Ministry Steps into 2026: A Season of Faith, Renewal, and Growth

The Oaks Ministry enters 2026 in a season of renewed vision, reflection, and leadership. Founded to provide hope, healing, and restoration for women in need, the ministry serves through a Christ-centered residential environment that nurtures the whole person. Its mission is to partner with women on their journey toward healing by offering Christian-based, holistic, and trauma-informed care within transitional housing—fostering resilience and empowering each woman to reclaim her life. The vision of The Oaks Ministry is to see every woman transformed by Christ’s love, living with purpose, equipped

for independence, and thriving as a responsible member of her community. After a decade of faithful leadership under founder Robin Martin, a new chapter began in early 2026 with Lauren Arnold stepping into the role of Executive Director. Robin Martin’s vision has long guided the ministry in serving women with compassion, accountability, and grace, and that strong foundation continues to shape the direction and future of The Oaks Ministry.

At its heart, The Oaks Ministry exists to walk alongside women who are seeking hope and a fresh start. The program is designed to care for the

whole person—body, mind, and spirit— by providing safe housing, supportive relationships, life-skills development, and opportunities for spiritual growth. Within this compassionate community, women are offered the space and support needed for healing, renewal, and lasting transformation.

The year 2025 proved to be a season of resilience, change, and spiritual growth for the ministry. The year brought both challenges and moments of gratitude. Several meaningful milestones reflected continued growth and strengthening of the program. A core financial curriculum was restructured to be more hands-on and comprehensive, equipping participants with practical tools to work toward longterm financial stability. Trauma-informed care was expanded, along with increased training opportunities for staff, mentors, and volunteers to better support women on their healing journeys.

Mentorship remained a cornerstone of The Oaks Ministry’s work. Two new mentors joined the program, ensuring that each woman was paired with a dedicated and supportive mentor. Jackie Shaffstall was hired as the program manager and Heather Lawhorn role expanded to a full time case manager. In addition, a TraumaInformed Mentor Training Program was developed to equip volunteers with the skills and understanding needed to foster healthy, encouraging relationships. Organizational leadership was further strengthened with the addition of three new board members who bring diverse professional expertise and a shared commitment to the ministry’s mission. Looking ahead to 2026, The Oaks Ministry is guided by a new three-year strategic plan focused on expanding services to vulnerable populations within the community. An April 18th gala is being planned at the Barn of Nottingham

which is sure to be an lovely evening of fundraising, camaraderie and fellowship. The ministry is also excited to share

the establishment of a new home base in the Heritage Building in downtown Oxford—placing The Oaks Ministry firmly

in the heart of the community and wellpositioned to serve faithfully in the season ahead.

TSoda Jerk Ice Cream

here’s something happening just down the road in Rising Sun — and it’s more than ice cream.

Inside Soda Jerk Ice Cream, the music plays softly in the background, families gather around small tables, and conversations stretch a little longer than expected. Phones are tucked away. Kids

color with crayons. Grandparents tell stories. And somewhere between the first scoop and the last sip of a vanilla shake, strangers become regulars.

That’s exactly how owners Chuck and Kate envisioned it.

“We take care of the people that take care of us,” Chuck shared during our recent visit. “The community literally pays our bills. Why wouldn’t we give back?”

That philosophy isn’t just talk. In 2026 alone, Soda Jerk is slated to participate in 60 community events, from bike nights and car shows to fundraisers and seasonal celebrations. They host community cleanup days (complete with free ice cream for volunteers), support local causes, and actively look for ways to make everyone feel included.

Soda Jerk Ice Cream

Continued from Page 21

For some families, that inclusion is lifechanging. With gluten-free, dairy-free, oat-based, and low-sugar options, many children experience their first taste of ice cream inside these walls. “Chuck’s seen quite a few kids have ice cream for the

first time because no one else carried something they could have.” Kate said. And then there are the stories that linger.

A three-generation family visits regularly — a son bringing his mother

and grandmother, who lives with dementia. “This is one of the only places she wants to go and remembers,” Chuck shared quietly. Her order? A medium vanilla shake, every time.

Soda Jerk Ice Cream

Another customer once walked in carrying an Elvis Presley poster — a relic from her youth when she followed the King himself — and donated it to the shop. “This belongs here,” she told them. It now hangs proudly on the wall, part of the growing nostalgia that fills the space.

That nostalgia is intentional.

Chuck, a former manager at UPS, spent years commuting between Philadelphia and Baltimore, dreamed of building something different…something closer to home. When a long-vacant storefront in Rising Sun became available, he renovated it himself. The doors officially opened in June 2024. What they’ve built isn’t just a business. It’s what sociologists call a “third place”, not home, not work, but somewhere you belong.

“We just want to be a stable foothold in the community,” Chuck said. “Somewhere people know they can come out and have a good time.”

Whether it’s a nostalgic soda, a scoop of Exhausted Parent ice cream (infused with bourbon spiked espresso), homework at a corner table, or simply a conversation that lasts longer than expected, Soda Jerk Ice Cream offers something rare: a relaxed, personable space in an increasingly digital world.

Early Bird Cafe

By Dave Slaughter

Contributing Writer

Just after sunrise, before the day fully finds its rhythm, a familiar scene unfolds at Early Bird Cafe. Coffee is poured. A regular settles onto a stool at the counter. Conversations begin softly—about the weather, the workday ahead, or nothing at all. For owner Rebecca “Becky” Murtha, this moment captures everything she loves about breakfast: comfort, connection, and the promise of a fresh start.

Becky has always been drawn to mornings—not just the food, but the feeling that comes with them. Breakfast, to her, represents possibility. That belief, paired with an unwavering commitment to quality and service, is what led her to open Early Bird Cafe as a place where

people don’t just eat—they belong. Her path into the restaurant world was shaped early by family and deep Oxford roots. In the 1970s, Becky’s grandfather owned and operated the Oxford Hotel, later purchasing the Post House Restaurant. Although he eventually resold the Post House, it remained one of his favorite places to gather. He was always a “counter guy”—someone who appreciated the quiet camaraderie found in a simple cup of coffee and conversation. Becky remembers that image vividly: her grandfather seated at the counter, at ease, part of the rhythm of the room. That memory left a lasting imprint. At Early Bird Cafe, the counter isn’t just functional—it’s intentional. Becky envisioned a space where farmers, early risers, and neighbors could sit side by side, share stories, and feel known.

Before becoming a business owner, Becky gained invaluable experience working demanding restaurant shifts, including overnight hours at the Broad Street Diner in Philadelphia. Those long nights introduced her to people from every walk of life—and even a few local celebrities—but more importantly, they taught her a lesson she still lives by: the customer is always right… even when they’re not. What matters most is listening, responding with care, and making things right.

That philosophy shows up in countless ways at Early Bird Cafe. Becky is known for going the extra mile, whether it’s customizing coffee orders, accommodating dietary needs, or responding directly to customer feedback. One moment stands out. After launching a new hot coffee drink, a customer reached

out asking if she would consider creating an iced version—and making it available on DoorDash. Becky did exactly that. The customer ordered it, loved it, and has since become a regular. It’s a small story, but it perfectly captures Becky’s approach: she’s not just serving customers—she’s creating fans.

Early Bird Cafe also reflects Becky’s personality in charming detail. Her love for chickens inspired the café’s décor and wall art, giving the space a playful warmth. Behind the scenes, she enjoys experimenting with new dishes, techniques, and flavors—always looking for ways to surprise and delight her guests while keeping the experience familiar and heartfelt. Engaged to Eric Weaver, Becky continues to pour her energy into a business rooted in care and connection. Her original goal was simple: create an early-morning gathering place where people feel seen, appreciated, and ready to start their day. Today, Early Bird Cafe has become exactly that—a place where community isn’t just talked about, but quietly lived out every morning.

It’s a story that fits naturally within the pages of The Oxfordian—and one that continues to unfold, one cup of coffee at a time.

Julia Neidigh Oxford’s Emmy-Winning Producer

By Ciearra Neidigh

Contributing Writer

Last summer, there was a big party at the OTE. There was an awesome balloon arch by M&R Creations, many laughs, and an actual Emmy being passed around the party on the second floor. A lot of people saw the photos from the party and sent their congratulations via Facebook, but not a lot of people know how Julia Neidigh’s Emmy came to be celebrated in Oxford.

Julia’s story starts a very long time ago,

in the 1900s, with Larry and Anne Nelson, who worked for the Oxford School District.

“Queen Anne,” as she was often referred to, was an English teacher and was also a part of many school theater productions. Larry was a guidance counselor. I cannot tell you how many times my husband, Luke, and I have been in town and someone came up to Luke and credited Larry with saving their lives by helping them find the right path when they had lost their way as teenagers… but that is a different story. Larry and Anne had two daughters, Vicki and Laura.

Vicki lived in her beloved Oxford most of her life and, through a series of twists of fate, found herself working for NBC. She had three redheaded children, Ben, Luke (my husband), and Julia. She would take the train from Oxford to New York, where she held an office in 30 Rockefeller Center. Vicki once told me that in the 30+ years she worked for NBC, she never once took the privilege for granted. Eventually, when her daughter Julia was old enough, she found her way to NBC as well.

Continued from Page 35

After attending college at The University of Alabama, Julia had her first internship with Morning Joe and then The Today Show in New York. Here, she learned all the ins and outs of being in production. From there, Julia moved to NBC Sports as a Production Manager, covering NASCAR, PGA events, and the Indy 500. Keeping up with Julia’s location during these years was a challenge, as she was always traveling somewhere working on one of these events. I should be a good sisterin-law here and tell you that I religiously watched all of the PGA events that she worked on… but unfortunately, golf is boring. Sorry, Julia.

Julia worked on the U.S. Diving Trials, the U.S. Women’s Open, and then she got the call that she would be working on the 2024 Paris Olympics. Julia was in Paris for a month working on two shows. This dream was the result of years of hard work

Julia’s story wouldn’t be complete without me telling you that Vicki Neidigh was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in 2019. She fought valiantly, with grace and kindness. My words will fail to convey to you how proud Vicki was that Julia covered the Olympic Diving Trials and, ultimately, the Olympics. Every member of our family, loved friends, and

her oncology team were gifted Paris 2024 swag bags with tons of branded items. She told every single person she saw that her daughter was working on the Olympics. It was Vicki’s final goal to make it to Paris to see Julia living out her dreams, which she did, before passing away surrounded by her family a few weeks later.

Continued from Page 36

Julia has lived in Connecticut for a few years now, near her office at NBC Sports, but after Vicki passed, Julia still makes it a point to come home to visit us in Oxford often. She adopted my beloved nephew, Harold, from Scalleywags Rescue last summer.

In May 2025, there were several watch parties in Oxford and Chester County as we all streamed the awards ceremony, and the cheers were heard far and wide when NBC’s coverage of the Olympics took home the Sports Emmy Award.

When Julia and the Emmy arrived in Oxford in August, it was a grand day. Scalleywags raised over $1,000 that day in her honor. Mayor Philip Harris wrote a proclamation celebrating her and her achievements. Finally, her brother and I threw a party at the Octoraro Hotel with all of her Oxford friends and family. We had cake, shots, and just a good

time celebrating an Oxford girl who worked hard and is living her dreams.

Post-Emmy win, Julia is currently working on Football Night in America on NBC. As I write this, she is in Santa Clara working on the Super Bowl coverage. She is under contract to purchase her first home and is slated to get married in 2027 to Anthony Calabro. Her family and friends will be patiently waiting this May to see if she wins her second Emmy for the Super Bowl coverage. If so, there will be another party on the second floor. Either way, her brothers and I couldn’t be prouder of her.

Traveling the world might sound glamorous, but it also can be challenging. It is a challenge that Julia takes on with grace, strength, and courage… all while remembering her Oxford roots.

Wedding & Special Event Venue

Collision Zone

By HaLeigh Abbott

Contributing Writer

Some businesses are built on location. Others are built on legacy. At Collision Zone in Oxford, it’s both.

Owned by Jim and Claudette Guthrie and situated in a spot with deep automotive roots, Collision Zone has called its current location home since 2010 — but the history of that address stretches back to the 1960s, when

Jack’s Auto Body first opened its doors there. Before settling in, Collision Zone operated on Barnsley Road, where it ran as a full-service auto shop handling both collision and custom work. Moving into the current space wasn’t just a change of address — it was an inheritance of tradition.

Today, Collision Zone is a full-service collision repair and auto body painting shop, and the scope of what they handle might surprise you. From tires

and electronics to paint and structural repairs, the team is equipped to take a vehicle from damaged to road-ready under one roof. The collision side of the business comes first and foremost, and the shop works directly with insurance companies to make the repair process as smooth as possible for car owners.

That commitment to the customer experience starts before a single panel is touched. The shop prioritizes a thorough inspection upfront, identifying all damage early so that the repair timeline is as efficient and predictable as possible. The goal is simple: get the car owner back on the road with minimal disruption to their life. In an industry where hidden damage and surprise delays are all too common, that proactive approach sets Collision Zone apart.

The numbers back it up. Collision Zone has earned recognition as one of the top 10 shops in the nation for State Farm Insurance — a distinction that reflects not just technical skill but the kind of consistent, reliable service that major insurers trust. For customers, that credential carries real weight. It means working with a shop that has been vetted, measured, and ranked against thousands of competitors across the country.

What makes that level of performance sustainable is the team behind it.

Collision Zone has multiple employees who have been with the shop for a decade or more — a rarity in any trade, and a testament to the culture the ownership has cultivated. In a field that demands precision, experience matters enormously. Long tenures mean technicians who have seen it all, who know the shop’s standards inside and out, and who bring a level of consistency to their work that newer operations simply can’t replicate.

There’s something fitting about a shop with this kind of staying power occupying a location that has served the local automotive community since the Eisenhower era. The names have changed, the tools have evolved, and the vehicles look nothing like they did in the 1960s — but the core purpose remains the

same. Get your car fixed right, get it done efficiently, and treat the customer like a neighbor.

At Collision Zone, that’s not a mission statement. It’s just how they’ve always done it. Find out more information by visiting their website at collisionzoneinc. com or stop in at 106 Bethel Road in Oxford.

The Yoga Cove

By Dave Slaughter Contributing Writer

Tucked into the heart of Oxford is a space that feels less like a fitness studio and more like a deep exhale. The Yoga Cove, founded by co-owners Shannon Snow and Kendell Pietuszka,

was created with a simple but powerful intention: to offer an inviting, cozy, and non-judgmental place where people can connect with themselves—and with one another.

“It’s yoga for regular humans,” Kendell says with a smile. The Yoga Cove isn’t about perfect poses or contorting bodies

into impossible shapes. Instead, it’s about meeting people where they are, helping them feel comfortable in their own bodies, and reminding them that while each person’s journey is unique, we’re often more alike than we realize.

Shannon and Kendell’s partnership grew out of a genuine friendship formed during their time as coworkers—bonded by shared conversations about selfbetterment, balance, and the quiet dream of creating something meaningful together. When the idea of opening a yoga studio began to take shape, the pieces seemed to fall into place naturally, with each step feeling affirmed along the way. Influenced by accessible, down-to-earth yoga voices like Yoga with Adriene, they envisioned a studio that felt welcoming rather than intimidating.

Oxford quickly emerged as the perfect home. Centrally located between their own homes, the borough also offered something they felt drawn to immediately: warmth. They were inspired by Oxford’s strong sense of pride, its family-friendly First Friday events, and a supportive small-business culture—along with the fact that the community didn’t yet have a dedicated yoga studio.

What truly sets The Yoga Cove apart, though, is its people. Each instructor brings something distinct to the mat. Shannon’s classes often focus on strength and creative sequencing, offering approachable challenges that empower students. Alyssa’s nurturing energy helps create a cozy, supportive atmosphere, and Tammy’s sessions encourage people to tune into their body’s cues and reconnect with themselves, while Jess’s Pilates instruction complements the yoga offerings. Kendell’s teaching emphasizes both movement and stillness, helping students release chaotic energy and replace it with calm. “Let it resonate,” she often says.

Both founders admit they were surprised by how naturally community began to form. Kendell found joy in realizing that building connection wasn’t as difficult as she once feared, while Shannon describes the deep reward of watching people of

all ages, shapes, and sizes grow more confident in themselves within a safe space.

As they move into their second year, Shannon and Kendell are focused on thoughtful growth—streamlining operations, exploring new workshops, and continuing to develop their business skills. “Less can be more,” Shannon reflects, embracing the idea that growth doesn’t always mean doing more, but doing what matters most. When asked how they hope people feel when they walk through The Yoga Cove’s doors, their answer is immediate and shared: calm—and accepted.

By HaLeigh Abbott Contributing Writer

Some businesses are built on ambition. Some are built on necessity. Chad Howell’s landscaping company was built on all of that — and then, after a devastating August night in 2018, rebuilt on something even more powerful: community.

Howells Landscaping has been a fixture in the Oxford and Nottingham area since 1999, when Chad returned home from six years in the Marine Corps and decided to put his work ethic to use on his own terms. A graduate of Oxford High School, he had gotten his first taste of the trade working alongside a friend’s father before

enlisting in 1993. When he came out in 1999, he launched the business with the same discipline the Corps had reinforced in him. He even took a detour in 2010, driving tractor trailers for Herrs — but the pull of his own business was too strong, and he eventually made the decision to focus on

Howells full time. To this day, he remains loyal to the brands that have supported him along the way. “Herrs has helped support us so it’s only Herrs chips in the house,” he says with a grin. “Same with Camerons — we use their products as much as we can. I’m very big on local community.”

Howell’s Landscaping

Continued from Page 53

That loyalty was tested — and proven — on August 21, 2018, when a fire tore through the business and took everything. Trucks, equipment, tools — gone. “I was ready to throw in the towel because it was pretty traumatic to lose everything,” Chad recalls. What kept him going was standing right next to him. His son, then a junior in high school, refused to let the business die. “He wanted to continue the business, so we pooled our resources to keep it going.” And then the community showed up. “Our local churches, local businesses and friends — the Oxford community wrapped their arms around us and helped us rebuild.” It’s the kind of story that sounds too good to be true, until you spend five minutes with Chad Howell and realize this is simply how he’s always operated.

Today, Howells Landscaping runs a crew of about 11 employees and offers a full range of services: spring and fall cleanups, mulching, bed maintenance,

bush and tree installation, hardscaping, and scheduled property maintenance. When winter comes, the trucks shift to

snow removal, and when the holidays roll around, the team is out installing Christmas lights for clients including

The Octoraro Tavern, Edward Jones, and the Nottingham Inn. It’s a year-round

operation built on relationships that, in some cases, stretch back to the very beginning. “Some customers have been with Howells since the day we began,” Chad says. “Others we’d like to get to know.”

The vision that excites him most is the full transformation — a blank backyard canvas turned into something a family can actually live in. “I’d love to transform an entire yard with hardscaping and garden beds, making someone’s backyard livable — a space they can use all year long,” he says. Patios, fire pits, gathering spaces. Places where memories get made. It’s a natural extension of what drives him most about the work. “When you finish a job and step back and see how nice it looks and the customer is happy — that’s my favorite thing.”

Howells isn’t just a business. It’s a family operation, with Chad’s wife handling scheduling and two of his sons working alongside the crew. He and his high school girlfriend have been together 25 years, raising five kids ranging in age from 14 to 25. His oldest son is now eyeing a leadership role — and potentially the keys to the whole operation someday, if he chooses. Last year, at one of the

monthly team breakfasts Chad takes his employees to, that son looked across the table at his father, watching the easy camaraderie between the crew, and smiled. Chad didn’t need to say a word.

The business gives back in quieter ways too. When the Oxford Fire struck South Third Street in Oxford, Howell’s installed plantings in the affected area to help restore some beauty to the scarred block. They work regularly with The Lighthouse and have gone above and beyond for elderly clients during snow removal season, offering the extra support that doesn’t always show up on an invoice.”

I was born and raised here,” Chad says. “I just love this community and I always have.

I chose to raise my family here.” It shows — in the relationships with fellow small business owners who look out for each other, in the elderly veteran at Walmart

who gets a “Semper Fi” and sends an “Oorah” right back, and in the customers who have never once thought about calling anyone else.

Twenty-five years in, Chad Howell is still showing up — and still making things grow. Find out more by visiting howellslawnandlandscape.com/

Honoring Jerome Rodio:

10 Years of the Everyday Hero 5K/10K Run

In 2026, we mark the 10th anniversary of the Everyday Hero 5K/10K Run, an event created to honor and remember a remarkable man—Jerome Rodio.

Jerome’s life was defined by service. He served his country in the Navy, then spent years protecting the citizens of Philadelphia as a police officer. Yet, it was after he moved to Oxford that his impact on a community truly flourished. Opening a business on Third Street, Jerome immediately began volunteering, bringing his energy, dedication, and heart to countless local initiatives.

By the time of his passing in 2016, Jerome had become President of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, yet

his contributions went far beyond titles. He could be found mentoring young business owners, organizing community events, and supporting local veterans. His hands-on approach and genuine care touched lives in ways both big and small—from helping neighbors in need to championing causes that strengthened the community fabric.

Though he arrived in Oxford later in life, Jerome’s presence was transformative. His vision and commitment made the town a better place to live, work, and play. He believed deeply in community, in giving back, and in inspiring others to do the same. That spirit is the very heartbeat of the Everyday Hero Run.

Proceeds from the run support the Oxford Veterans Breakfast and the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, continuing Jerome’s legacy by helping those who serve our country and those who serve our community.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we invite runners, walkers, and supporters of all ages to join us. Step into the streets of Oxford, honor Jerome’s memory, and celebrate the spirit of community that he embodied every day. For more details, registration, and volunteer opportunities, visit OxfordPA.org

Join us to remember a true Everyday Hero and keep his legacy alive, one step at a time.

Heritage Post Frame

By HaLeigh Abbott

Contributing Writer

In a time of mass construction and cookie-cutter buildings, Heritage Post Frame is doing things differently. Founded by Jonathan Lapp in April 2013 and now co-owned with partner Steven Fisher, the Nottingham, PA-based company has built its reputation on quality craftsmanship, personal relationships, and a deep appreciation for the kind of building traditions that once defined rural America.

Lapp’s roots in construction run deep

— literally. “I grew up on a dairy farm and the family did all of their work and repairs on their own,” he says. That hands-on upbringing shaped not just his skills but his entire philosophy about building. After working with Quarry View Construction in Lancaster, he married in 2012 and saw an opportunity when his then-employer began shifting toward heavier commercial construction. He decided to branch out and build something of his own.

The result is a company that today serves clients across South Jersey, Maryland, and — increasingly — right

here in Chester County. “Humble beginnings,” Lapp reflects. “We’re still a very small company and have a great team and we have been very blessed.” That team now includes 14 employees, and local business has been picking up steadily since Heritage Post Frame completed its own building in East Nottingham Township in the summer of 2025. A recent local project, HM Auto Parts on East Ridge Road, is a visible example of their work taking shape close to home.

Heritage Post Frame specializes in post frame and timber frame construction, with a portfolio spanning pole buildings, barndominiums, commercial and residential structures, warehousing, breweries, wineries, and wedding barns. The process begins with an initial meeting and design consultation, followed by a detailed cost estimate. Once a contract is signed and permits are approved, construction gets underway. A simple garage might take four to six months; more complex projects can run two years or more.

But if you want to know what truly lights Lapp up, ask him about timber framing. “We love the timber frame aspect — it’s my favorite component,” he says. “It’s very pretty with old wood pin joinery. The style is coming back recently and it’s great to see.” More and more clients, he notes, want at least some element of timber framing in their build — a porch, an accent piece, exposed trusses. “Back in the day, everyone did timber framing. It requires maintenance and modern construction does not, so it took over for a while. But this generation is seeing the beauty of it.”

Event spaces bring that beauty to life most dramatically, and they remain among Heritage’s most rewarding projects. The company manages the building process end to end, coordinating with trades for plumbing, electrical, and other systems so clients have a single point of contact throughout.

Looking ahead, Lapp’s vision is measured and intentional. “We are very

focused to create a good end result for our client and provide a good quality build over growing,” he says. “A slow growth is ideal to maintain quality.” New materials and better value for clients are priorities, but so is something less tangible — bringing business back to being personal. Handshakes, honest communication, and making sure every client walks away happy.

“Shout out to our crew and our guys,” Lapp adds. “They are the best at what they do.”

Oxford Rotary Club: One Hundred Years of Service

Above Self

On Thursday, April 1, 1926 a small notice appeared in The Oxford Press stating, “Rotary Formed in Oxford”. This 10-line notice listed the men who would make up the executive officers, including C. C. Baer who served as the first President of the Oxford Rotary Club. A couple of weeks later, on April 13th 100 Rotarians from the states of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania filled the east dining room at the Oxford Hotel for the

Charter Night of the Oxford Rotary Club #2308. The evening was filled with speeches, songs, and a delicious meal of “roast Chester County turkey.” At each place-setting was a small box of caramels from the Oxford Caramel Factory. The boxes were lettered in gold, compliments of Oxford Rotary. The West Chester Rotary club surprised the Oxford club with the presentation of a Rotary banner. The inaugural Oxford Rotary Club was comprised of

17 members, and they met weekly for lunch at noon at the Oxford Hotel. In 1926, Rotary International was still a relatively young organization, having been started in 1905 in Chicago, IL by attorney Paul Harris. Mr. Harris’ goal for Rotary was to create a club where professional men from varied backgrounds could gather to exchange ideas and create lasting friendships. Although initially an organization only for men, the Rotary began admitting

women in the 1980s. As time went on, the vision of Rotary International grew to encompass humanitarian services as well. Currently Rotary International counts among its causes ending polio, promoting peace, and providing clean water. At present Rotary International has 1.2 million members in 45,000 clubs worldwide.

In keeping with the mission of Rotary International, the Oxford Rotary Club has a strong history of participating in projects for the betterment of the Oxford Community. Over the past 100 years, the Rotary has sponsored several fundraising events, the proceeds of which benefit charitable and civic endeavors

of the local community. In the late 1940s and 1950s, the Oxford Rotary Club performed an annual Mirthquake Show. These musical comedy shows entertained audiences while providing money for efforts like the building of the Scout Cabin or the purchase of a new incubator at the West Grove Hospital. Oxford Rotary has participated in community events like parades, volunteered at First Fridays, and sponsored visits to Oxford from the circus.

In 1993, a group of Oxford Rotarians joined with the Upper Oxford Township Supervisors to establish a park in Lincoln Village. Bernard Park, located

Continued on Page 64

Oxford Rotary Club

Continued from Page 63

on Elkdale Road behind the Lincoln University campus, was created on 4 acres of land owned by Upper Oxford Township. The park had a basketball court, picnic areas, a fishing wharf on a pond in the park, and playground equipment. In addition to providing funding for the park, work on the park was done by several Rotarians who were joined by community members of Lincoln Village and Oxford Township Supervisors.

A more recent park project undertaken by the Oxford Rotary was the creation of an Inclusive Playground at the Oxford Memorial Park. The initial vision of this park belongs to Paul Matthews, then serving on Oxford Borough Council, but Oxford Rotary wholeheartedly embraced the vision. As Dr. Raymond Fischer, then president of the Oxford Rotary Foundation stated, “Inclusive playgrounds make a fundamental statement about how

a community values meaningful play experiences for children of all abilities.” After making the inclusive playground a special project, the Oxford Rotary formed The Oxford Rotary Foundation in order to raise funds and accept donations for the inclusive playground. The Foundation still serves as a grant making and charitable funding vehicle for the club. The play equipment was purchased, but like with Bernard Park, Rotary members and members of the community came together to install the playground. On September 30, 2017, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the inclusive playground, making it the first of its kind in the area.

Also located in Oxford’s Memorial Park is the bilingual book walk, installed in 2023, which the Oxford Rotary assisted in funding. The book Circus ticket.

Oxford Rotary Club

Continued from Page 64

walk, sponsored by The Oxford Public Library, adapts a children’s picture book to be displayed across 16 panels. The story is told in both English and Spanish and fosters literacy.

In addition to supporting projects for the community as a whole, the Oxford Rotary has been a special supporter of the youth of Oxford. One of the earliest activities arranged by the Oxford Rotary for the young boys of Oxford was a trip to Philadelphia to watch the Philadelphia Athletics take on the Cleveland team on July 25, 1929. Rotarians with cars lined up at the Oxford High School. Local boys were loaded into the cars and they caravaned to Philadelphia. Each car carried a placard with Oxford Rotary Club written on it. The group was escorted from Oxford to the Philadelphia line by the PA State

Police. At the Philadelphia city limits the Philadelphia Police took over and led the caravan into Shibe Park. At the Park, the group were guests of Connie Mack, longtime manager of the Philadelphia Athletics. The Oxford Rotary has also supported the Boy Scouts by providing funds to build the Scout cabin and by being a long-time sponsor of Boy Scout Troop 13.

In keeping with Rotary International’s mission of promoting peace, the Oxford Rotary has sponsored several Oxford high school students to participate in the Rotary Youth Exchange which seeks to “build peace one young person at a time”. This program pays for a student between the ages of 15-19 to travel abroad for a year. Their room and board and any school fees are covered and Rotary works to find placement for the students with a host family. Students also travel from foreign countries to spend a year in the United States. Over the years

Oxford Rotary has placed several foreign exchange students with families in the Oxford area.

Another long-time program of the Oxford Rotary is the recognition of OAHS Students of the Month. This program recognizes OAHS seniors who show outstanding hard work and dedication towards their schoolwork, sports, and extracurricular activities. As part of the recognition, these students and their families are invited to join members of the Rotary at a monthly lunch meeting where they are recognized and invited to share information about themselves.

Rotary International also strives to help foster the next generation of leaders. To that end, the organization has created youth clubs. The goal of these clubs is to help young leaders develop their leadership skills, expand their education, and learn the value of service. Rotaract, for youth 18 and older, was created in 1968 and brought

to Lincoln University by Oxford Rotary in 1973. InterAct is the Rotary youth program for students between the ages of 12-18. The OAHS InterAct club held its inaugural induction ceremony in the spring of 2014. Finally, EarlyAct is a youth club for students aged 5-13. Oxford Area School District offers students participation in EarlyAct in the Hopewell Elementary School which began in 2015. Although the Rotaract club is no longer active at Lincoln University, both the InterAct and EarlyAct clubs are acitve. Over the years just some of the InterAct club projects have been to collect and assemble toiletry kit for the homeless and veterans living in shelters, sell and help plant 500 trees natvie to PA through the Tree-Plensih program, and to continue to assist with Project Cure which delivers medical supplies and equipment to developing countries among other activities. The EarlyAct

club regularly sponsors food drives to benefit Oxford Neighborhood Services and other local organizations which help Oxford’s food insecure households.

For the past several months OAHA has had an exhibit up at the History Center entitled Working Together to Build a Better Community in which we highlighted service and civic organizations, past and present, that have worked to make the greater Oxford area a better place live. The Oxford Rotary definitely has a place in that exhibit for both its past and present contributions. The Oxford Area Historical Association would like to congratulate Oxford Rotary for reaching their 100th anniversary milestone and to thank them for the past 100 years of making Oxford a better place to live. We look forward to seeing what they accomplish in their next 100 years!

If you would like to learn more about the Rotary, join them at one of their lunch meetings on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 12-1pm in the private dining room in the Vista Ridge Pavilion at Ware Village. You can also email them for more information at rotaryofoxford@gmail.com.

SUMMER RIDING CAMP

Wayne Bank

As Presence Bank transitions to Wayne Bank in April, the Oxford community will see a familiar commitment to local relationships paired with expanded resources and opportunity. For decades, both institutions have shared a belief that community banking is about more than transactions, it is about showing up, supporting local organizations, and helping neighbors and businesses thrive. That shared philosophy makes this transition a natural fit for Oxford.

Wayne Bank, recently named one of Newsweek’s America’s Best Regional

Banks & Credit Unions 2026, has built its reputation on strengthening the communities it serves by investing in people, businesses, and local initiatives. Oxford is known for wrapping its arms around new businesses, celebrating entrepreneurship, and supporting one another through every season. That spirit aligns perfectly with Wayne Bank’s approach: relationship-based banking that focuses on listening first and building long-term partnerships.

As part of this transition, Wayne Bank is proud to introduce two experienced

commercial lenders who will serve the Oxford and greater Chester County market: Elli Stoltzfus and Jose M. Colon. Jose Colon will serve as Vice President and Commercial Team Leader. A longtime Chester County resident, Jose was born in Lares, Puerto Rico, and moved to the United States as a child. After earning his degree in Political Science and Public Administration from West Chester University, he built his career serving real estate investors, developers, and small businesses, with a particular focus on supporting the Hispanic

community. Deeply rooted in service, Jose has served on numerous nonprofit boards throughout Chester County, including PathStone/ABH, La Comunidad Hispana, the Kennett Area Senior Center, Kendall Crosslands Communities, the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce, and Longwood Rotary. He also served as an elected Borough Councilman in West Grove. Jose and his wife, Karin, live in West Chester with their three children.

Elli Stoltzfus joins the team as a Relationship Manager serving Lancaster and Chester Counties. A Lancaster County native, Elli brings a strong foundation in finance and entrepreneurship, holding dual degrees in both from Liberty University. She partners with small and mid-sized

business owners, investors, and nonprofit organizations to provide customized lending solutions that support sustainable growth and longterm impact. Known for her thoughtful, relationship-first approach, Elli takes pride in serving as a trusted advisor to her clients. Outside of work, she is active in her church community, serves as Treasurer and Marketing lead for The Collective Young Adults in Gap, and is an avid runner who has completed two marathons.

Together, Jose and Elli reflect the values that define Wayne Bank: local expertise, community involvement, and a genuine commitment to helping businesses succeed. As Wayne Bank officially welcomes Presence Bank customers this spring, the focus remains clear

— building strong relationships and investing in Oxford’s future for years to come.

Wayne Bank is a subsidiary of Norwood Financial Corp., Member FDIC, and is located in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The Bank has 33 Community Offices serving Wayne, Pike, Monroe, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Chester, Cumberland, and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania, along with Delaware, Sullivan, Otsego, Ontario, and Yates Counties in New York.

Fighting Back Against Parkinson’s

By HaLeigh Abbott

Contributing Writer

Laughter, joking, teasing, and boxing gloves might not be the first thing that comes to mind when Parkinson’s Disease is mentioned, but that’s exactly what is found in the Fighting Back classes at Rock Steady Boxing Cornerstone in Hockessin, Delaware.

Located inside Cornerstone Martial Arts, Katie Minnis has been running the specialized program for Parkinson’s-affected athletes since 2019. Together with two volunteers, each class provides cognitive and physical stimulation, which has been shown to improve the symptoms of patients in ongoing research. Katie was inspired to become a certified

coach for the program after becoming close with her Oxford neighbors, Wendell and Chris Higgins. “Wendell had Parkinson’s disease. He was just the sweetest, kindest man—quiet but super witty (a lot like my husband, Tim). I saw how daunting the daily fight with Parkinson’s was for them. When the

Continued from Page 72 opportunity arose for me to help people like him, I just had to jump on it. The Higgins family and friends were instrumental in helping us raise money to start the program. Unfortunately, we were never able to have Wendell be part of our program, but I think about him all of the time. He would’ve fit in well with this crazy, funny, sarcastic, loving crew so perfectly.”

And that description is accurate—the athletes in Katie’s class were anything but limited. After a warm-up filled with music and dancing, the smiles started growing as well as the energy. The group broke into smaller sets and cycled through four stations where they worked on physical fitness, balance, cognitive training, and above all else, community. “I usually prefer to exercise alone, but more and more I wanted to try something different,” explained Randy Broadbent, a program member for 8 months and counting. “It’s just like Cheers, everybody knows your name! And they genuinely care about one another.”

Cornerstone

Randy explained that “If you’ve met one person with Parkinson’s, you’ve met one person with Parkinson’s,” meaning that every person has a different set of symptoms and treatments that work. Balance issues, tremors, rigidity, and even loss of smell are all included in possible symptoms, but they are not consistent across all patients. “You realize we’re all in the same boat—some are better, some are worse, but it’s not as depressing as when I first found out I had it because we have each other,” explained another participant, Marty Rabeno.”

Research shows that people with Parkinson’s who use intensive exercise can slow the progression or alleviate symptoms to where they can lower medicine dosage or come off medicine completely,” explained Katie. Unlike when Parkinson’s Disease was first being researched and patients were told to go home and rest, now the opposite findings are true where it’s suggested to move and increase heart rate every day. A number of the athletes

We box every day because it’s really good for you, but also they have an incurable disease and sometimes you just need to punch something every now and then,” joked Katie. Punching, kicking, sit-to-stands, and balance courses are staples in the classes where Katie and her two volunteers ensure everyone is safe and working hard. The camaraderie is apparent as athletes partner up and encourage each other, or gang up on Katie to tease her for her music choice. Katie is a professional, though, and gives it right back with a chorus of laughter throughout. Katie is well-rounded with her communication styles and surely dodges teasing from all ages, as she is also a substitute teacher for the Oxford Area School District.

The workout is great, but the community is what keeps these participants coming back twice a week, every week. They are each other’s best supporters and

share wins, losses, advice, and medical references, often finding solutions through each other they couldn’t find elsewhere. The group just celebrated their 7-year

The work out is great, but it’s the sense of community is what keeps participants coming back.

Oxford Borough Parking in the Borough

By Pauline Garcia-Allen Borough Manager

Managing municipal parking effectively is important because it directly impacts traffic flow, local business vitality, and public safety. When parking is poorly managed, drivers circle blocks searching for spaces, increasing congestion, fuel consumption, and emissions. Nobody likes to pay to park, but paid parking is an important aspect of managing parking effectively. Welldesigned, paid parking systems encourage turnover so more customers can access shops and services, supporting our local economy. Effective enforcement also ensures fairness, preventing long-term occupation of high-demand spaces – like the on-street parking on Market and Third Streets. Parking fees provide the Borough with the steady revenue needed to main-

tain parking facilities and to reinvest into parking infrastructure over time. Parking is never truly free. There is a cost to provide the service.

Overall, good parking management helps create more accessible, efficient, and livable downtown environments. This is what we aim to do in the Borough through a phased series of improvements to how we manage parking. In March we gated the garage. No more waiting in lines at a kiosk after you park, when you may be trying to meet friends or get to an event. You can scan and pay on your phone or pay at the gate when you leave. To function properly, paid parking in the garage is now 24 hours a day, but over time the improved system will open up new opportunities to offer free or

reduced-fee parking. Enforcement hours for Borough lots and meters will remain the same (8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday). However, beginning May 1st, we will begin to enforce the two-hour time limit for on-street meter parking. This helps ensure downtown businesses get needed turnover of parking right in front of their businesses. Questions? To find out more, visit Oxfordboro.org/Parking

Oxford Mainstreet

When many people think of Oxford Mainstreet, they think of First Fridays. These flagship events are lively evenings filled with music, shopping, food, and connection. Proudly hosted by Oxford Mainstreet, Inc. (OMI) for well over a decade, these events showcase what is possible when businesses, volunteers, and community partners work together to bring community together. But they are just one part of a much larger effort.

Founded in 1999, OMI is a local nonprofit dedicated to strengthening Oxford’s downtown and Business Improvement District. For more than 25 years, OMI has collaborated with business owners, property owners, the Borough, and residents to serve as a catalyst for economic growth and longterm stability. Progress downtown has always been rooted in partnership. Many of the features people enjoy every day reflect that shared investment. The black planters lining the streets are part of an ongoing beautification program that enhances the downtown experience. OMI also administers façade improvement grants, helping merchants reinvest in their buildings and strengthen the overall streetscape. Businesses such as The Sawmill Grill and Outback Company Store are among those that have improved their storefronts through this program in 2025, benefiting both the individual businesses and the broader community.

OMI also helped launch the revitalization of the historic Oxford Theatre, now The Pearl. What began as an OMI-led initiative has grown into an independent non-profit advancing plans for a brand-new theatre in the heart of downtown.

Today, OMI is finalizing a fiveyear strategic plan to guide future investments and partnerships, ensuring
