Octorara Students Win STEM Design Challenge
BY LOGAN MOYER
Two teams comprising Octorara Area School District (OASD) students won first place at a regional STEM Design Challenge and have punched tickets to the state competition in Harrisburg.
The regional competition, held in March by the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU), brought fourththrough eighth-grade students together from the local area to compete in elementary and middle school divisions, both of which were won by Octorara.

Ryan Mitman, Merritt Zavacki, Gavin Bowen and Haydin YoonTeam Citrax - won the middle school division while Nathan Campos, Eli King and Seamus Ralston - Team E-Bricks - claimed
Working in teams of three to four, the students were presented with the prompt to build a sustainable production machine in accordance with United Nations regulations.
More specifically, the students had to design a section of factory
that uses sustainable practices and then showcase how their functioning machine works, highlighting how it supports environmentally responsible production. Students began preparing for this task in January.

Parkesburg Man Publishes First Book
BY LOGAN MOYER
Joseph Amaral remembers pulling up the captain’s ring like it was just yesterday.
Amaral was a 34-year-old commercial diver when he found the captain’s ring of the legendary DeBraak shipwreck. The Parkesburg resident turned 76 last month, but the day is still clear in his mind.
Last year, he decided it was time to write a book to share his experiences from four decades
of diving. He started writing the novel in September, and it was done and published by Christmas. Not too shabby of a turnaround, especially for a first-time author.
“Without (my publisher), I couldn’t have moved as quickly as I did,” Amaral said. “I was able to tell my stories.”
Amaral’s book, titled “My Hunt for the Lost Ships of History,” is a six-chapter, 225-page novel that details his experiences with shipwrecks
Pennsylvania 4-H Week and National Agriculture Week Recognized
Chester County officials recognized Pennsylvania 4-H Week and National Agriculture Week during a recent Board of Commissioners meeting, highlighting the importance of youth leadership programs and the agricultural industry to the county and the commonwealth.
Local 4-H representatives, Penn State Extension staff members, and Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding joined the commissioners to mark the observances and discuss the impact of agriculture and 4-H programs across Chester County.
Heidi Bramm, president of Tri-Community Dairy 4-H, spoke about the value of hands-on learning and leadership opportunities provided through the organization.
“4-H really gives me the opportunity to grow as a person,” said Bramm. “There are so many great people through 4-H that can guide you because they respect the program, and they know that kids who go there want to learn and do these things, so doing that gives you the ability to learn so much. It’s just an amazing group of people, and it attracts more amazing people.”
The commissioners emphasized the importance of supporting programs that prepare the next generation of agricultural and community leaders. In their proclamation, they noted that 4-H continues to play a vital role in youth development and the future of the county’s agricultural community.
Team Citrax, including (from left) Ryan Mitman, Gavin Bowen, Marreitt Zavacki and Haydin Yoon, won first place in the middle school division.

Amaral grew up in Massachusetts, just west of Cape Cod. Like many from his generation, he served in Vietnam right out of high school, earning two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for Valor.
He is also a graduate of a scuba school in Key West, Fla., which was operated by Navy SEALs.
“Being a Vietnam veteran, the war wasn’t too popular,” Amaral said. “My dad was giving me a lot of heat, telling me to straighten out my life. I picked up a Skin Diver magazine and saw an (advertisement) for a commercial dive school in Texas.”
eventually captured by the British, and other famed shipwrecks were featured in TIME Magazine and a documentary on Discovery Channel. Now, he can say that he chronicled his experiences for himself.
Two copies of Amaral’s work are available to be checked out of the Parkesburg Free Library, 105 West St., Parkesburg. He hopes to hold a book signing at the library in the future, but details have not been finalized.
Amaral has been married to his wife, Christine, for more than 30 years. She attended Harvard Medical School and was also a diver. The pair met on board.
Amaral sold everything he had and drove across the country to attend the school. He paid for his own tuition and graduated seventh out of 44 students in his class.
He was working for Sub-Sal, a corporation based out of Reno, Nev., when he found the ring.
“It was the best day of my life,” he said. “I found the ring and didn’t think much of it ... but it turned out the ring is what proved it was the captain. It was a memorial to his brother.”
Amaral’s experiences with the DeBraak, a Dutch ship that was
“I wouldn’t let her off the boat until she gave me her phone number,” Amaral said. “Every fortunate moment in life is meaningless unless it is shared with those you love.”
The pair moved to Chester County after Christine got her first job out of school. Amaral finds it funny that a couple of divers wound up in a landlocked state.
“I was like a fish out of water for the first year,” he said.
Amaral is already working on a second book, one he is co-writing with colleague Rob Morris, another former diver. His second book, like the one published in December, will be published by Arnica Press.

compete against first-place teams from regional competitions across the commonwealth.
Two Octorara teams also placed second in their respective divisions: Claire Sours, Avery Remphrey, Ryan Jurich and Lukas Metzler - Team EGO - in the middle school division and Goldie Brendle, Ana Kozacheson and Miles Repsher - Team Citric - in the elementary division.
The students were tasked with constructing a machine prototype that clearly demonstrated sustainability principles by minimizing waste; maximizing efficiency; and simulating the use of recycled, reused or otherwise sustainable parts.
Both teams, as first-place finishers, advance to the state competition on Friday, May 8, at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. Octorara students will
A pair of OASD teams also earned honorable mentions: Ella Decosta, Natalie Martin and Maci Marshman - Team Sun Fount - in the middle school division and Elizabeth Haws, Cooper Kowlachik and Erin Miller - Team Cornadoesin the elementary division.
“Opportunities like the STEM Design Challenge are critical in helping students apply their learning in meaningful ways,” said OASD superintendent Shawn Dutkiewicz.
“By investing in STEM education, we are equipping our students with the skills to think critically, solve complex problems, and express their creativity. It is inspiring to see our students represent the district with such innovation and pride.”
At both the state and regional competitions, students have two hours to recreate their product for judging. All products must fit on a 6-foot table, and students must submit design notebooks and blueprints for viewing. The STEM Design Challenge began in 2010 as the brainchild of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit. Since then, it has grown to be a statewide event that over 5,000 students participate in annually.

Land Preservation Funding Available
The Chester County Parks and Preservation Department’s Open Lands division is accepting applications for the Preservation Partnership Program (PPP). This program provides funding to municipalities and nonprofit land conservation organizations to preserve significant natural, recreational, agricultural, historic, and cultural land resources.
“Preserving open space is crucially important to the future of Chester County and is a tenet of the county’s strategic plan,” said Josh Maxwell, chair of the Chester County Board of Commissioners.
“Initiatives like the Preservation Partnership Program allow us to partner with municipalities and conservation organizations to protect the landscapes and natural resources that make our communities special for those who live,
work, and visit here.”
The application period for this year’s PPP grant cycle will run through Thursday, April 30. The application, instructions, and a list of previously funded projects are available online at www .chesco.org/DocumentCenter/ View/82582/R38-PPP-Manual.
Approximately $2 million is available for selected projects.
“Open space is essential in protecting clean water, supporting wildlife habitat, and providing places for outdoor recreation,” said Commissioner Marian Moskowitz, vice chair of the board. “The Preservation Partnership Program empowers local municipalities and conservation groups to advance projects that will benefit residents today and for generations to come.”
The PPP grant program was
created to enhance public access to open space and to implement county and municipal land-use policies as stated in the county’s comprehensive plan. Preference will be given to projects that can leverage state, federal, or other external funding sources.
Commissioner Eric Roe said, “Chester County’s longstanding commitment to land preservation is one of the many reasons residents value living here. Strengthening partnerships and exploring additional funding avenues ensures that these important and beloved landscapes remain part of our county well into the future.”
The Preservation Partnership Program has helped preserve more than 20,000 acres in Chester County since it began in 1989. A “Quality of Life” citizen survey conducted in
2023 revealed that preservation of open space remains a significant top priority for residents, second only to emergency services and the county’s 9-1-1 system.
For more information, including the application and program guidelines, call Monica Mullaji at 610-344-6937 or email mmullaji@ chesco.org.
4-H Week
“In Chester County, 335 young people participate in 32 clubs, completing projects that allow them to make friends, experience teamwork, and learn life skills,” said Commissioner Marian Moskowitz. “4-H in Chester County is served by a network of 101 volunteers, educators, and staff, and provides a curriculum for teachers, after-school programs, and community partners who provide hands-on and interactive learning to more than 4,300 young people.”
Following the recognition of Pennsylvania 4-H Week, the commissioners proclaimed National Agriculture Week, highlighting the economic, cultural, and environmental importance of agriculture in Chester County. Agriculture remains one of Pennsylvania’s leading industries, and Chester County is among the state’s top agricultural producers. As part of the proclamation, the commissioners also recognized Bob and Adrienne Cochran of Hidden View Farm as owners of the only known Chester County tricentennial farm, honoring families whose farms have remained in continuous
operation and family ownership for more than 300 years. The recognition highlights the deep agricultural roots of Chester County and the generations of farm families who have helped sustain the county’s farming heritage.
Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding attended the meeting and emphasized the significance of Chester County’s agricultural community, noting that the county’s farms and agricultural businesses contribute substantially to the state’s diverse food and farming economy.
“Chester County is an amazing place, both for its people and its history,” Redding said. “You can’t talk about agriculture and really the history of this nation without talking about Chester County.”
Pennsylvania 4-H Week and National Agriculture Week were both recognized from March 15 to 21 to acknowledge the contributions of young Pennsylvania 4-H members, farmers, agricultural businesses, and agricultural organizations that help provide food, fiber, and fuel for communities across the United States.
