Marc Fraser | Director of Security

The Master Association has concluded that UPASS gate-entry devices (wind-shield tags, proximity cards, and head-light tags) should be the sole means for entry into Hershey’s Mill. As a

result,

the clicker and swipe card options will be phased out by November 1, 2017.They understand that elimination of these devices will impact a majority of residents, so the Security Department

has implemented a replacement pro-gram. A free UPASS proximity card will be provided for every clicker and swipe card assigned to residents.

Gate-Entry Change

In May of this year, every HM resi-dence was mailed a letter with informa-tion regarding this change. It included instructions for how to receive the free replacements, as well as answers to fre-quently asked questions. If you did not receive this letter, please contact me immediately at .

The story of Bob Devine is truly “divine”! Born and raised in West Philadelphia, he was the fifth of six children born to Patrick and Rose Ellen Devine. His parents were born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. His mother immi-grated to the U.S. first and lived with friends on Long Island, New York. Pat-rick followed her later; they were mar-ried and moved to Philadelphia.Bob attended Transfiguration of Our Lord, West Catholic High School for boys in Philadelphia. He and his broth-

says “It was a wonderful experience”, and remains an avid fan of the Fight-ing Irish to this day. He adds that col-lege life was very different in the 1950s. Every night it was “lights out” at 11 p.m., and there was security in every dormitory.As a guard for Coach Johnny Jordan, Bob played junior varsity, as required for all freshman, and moved up to var-sity his final three years on the Irish basketball team. Playing in 81 straight games, which was a record at the time, Bob scored over 1,000 points and was elected co-captain of the team his

in 1965, and had various assignments including teaching at Father Judge High School and the Salesianum School in Wilmington, Delaware. He was also Assistant Director of Admissions of DeSales University and Director of the Villa Maria Retreat House outside of Reading, PA. His younger brother, who died July 11 of this year, was also a priest, and he and Bob took turns over the years marrying and baptizing fam-ily members.Bob retired from the priesthood in 1985. However, Bob became affiliated with CITI Ministries; a Roman Catho-lic lay organization utilizing married priests to legally officiate at weddings and perform other ministerial func-tions. From 1993 to 2003, he served as Director of Development at West Phil-adelphia Catholic High School. Bob enjoyed working there, and was well known among the alumni due to his basketball career. To his credit, many inner-city children attended the school as a result of his fund-raising work.Some of the honors Bob has been awarded are the Golden Burr Award from West Catholic Alumni Associa-tion (in 1966), West Catholic Sports Hall of Fame (inaugural class in 1989), West Catholic Hall of Fame (in 2006), Distinguished LaSallian Educator from the Christian Brothers (for 2003 to 2004), member of the Notre Dame Wall of Fame, and the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame (in 2008).How did Bob come to Hershey’s Mill? Bob met his wife, Terry, while he was organizing a communion breakfast as the Development Director for West Catholic Prep. Terry was also a West Catholic graduate and attended that event. When he and Terry were mar-

You could say that basketball runs in Bob’s family. Of his four nephews, two played at Villanova, one at Ursinus College, and another at Wisconsin; all served as captains of their teams. When Bob’s niece married Tommy Ingelsby, Bob officiated at their wed-ding and toasted them at the reception saying “may your first-born go to Notre Dame” (there was a lot of friendly Vil-lanova versus Notre Dame rivalry in the family). In fact, their first-born son, Marty, spent 16 years at Notre Dame; first playing basketball, and then as the assistant coach to Mike Brey. Since then, Tommy calls Bob “the Prophet”. Marty is currently the head basketball coach at the University of Delaware.Bob was ordained to the priesthood with the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales

Robynwood Villageers played many sports, but their favor-ite was basketball. With a basket tied to the pipes in their living room, they would play for hours. When not play-ing ball, he and his siblings helped out by bartending in the West Philly bar their father owned.In high school Bob played basketball for West Catholic, and their team won the Catholic School League Championship by beating Overbrook High School; whose star player was Wilt Chamber-lain. Bob still gets together with his high school friends once a month.Bob’s older brother, Jack, played basket-ball for Villanova and Bob assumed that he would follow in his footsteps. Then along came an offer of a full scholarship from the University of Notre Dame and his decision was made. Bob had a great liberal arts education and basketball career at Notre Dame. One of his team-mates there was 6'5" Tommy Hawkins who was an All-American who later played for the Los Angeles Lakers. Bob

senior year. While playing for Notre Dame, Bob enjoyed traveling around the country. When they played on the East Coast, Bob’s parents were able to attend some of his games; and they also traveled to Indianapolis to watch him play in a Christmas tournament. He loved playing on the Notre Dame cam-pus in the old field house. That field was so steeped in tradition that the University of Kentucky refused to play the Irish on their home court. Instead, their game was played in Chicago.Bob is a true-blue Irish fan. He will often wear a Notre Dame t-shirt or hat inviting inevitable comments, like “Hey, I like your hat or shirt”, from other alumni or fans. He stays in touch with his friends from college, and they are currently planning their 60th N.D. reunion for next year. Until recently, Bob and his wife Terry would drive out to South Bend every other year to

ried, Bob joined her here. Terry’s col-lection of pewter and other beautiful antiques adorn their lovely Robyn-wood home on the 2nd green of the golf course. Terry has six children, including two sets of twins, and seven grandchildren. All but one son live in the area, so Bob and Terry see them often. They make a point to stay in touch with the oldest son who lives in Arizona. Bob and Terry love living in Hershey’s Mill and spending time with all of the friends they have made here! During the winter months, Bob and Terry become “snowbirds”, traveling annually to South Hutchinson Island, Florida. Bob has also enjoyed traveling to Ireland many times to visit family members who still live in Belfast.We are blessed to have Bob and Terry as part of the Hershey’s Mill family!

Now, nine of the warriors and one terracotta horse come here for the only east-coast engagement. This historic visit may be unlike anything you have seen before. The Mysteries of China film will also be seen in IMAX, starting with modern China and going back to the birth of the nation. Lunch is on your own at Franklin Foodworks.

DININGOUT

“How ’ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm, after they’ve seen Paree?” This post World War I song, written in 1919, was most popular in America for several years. However, it actually was a great worry to those parents who were farmers and needed their sons to come home. Some of them did, but many had experienced the glamour and “oo la la” life of France and were not ready to use a plow or milk a cow again. There had to be more to life than that, and they had lived it.Some of us have also experienced the charms of France; the romantic city of Paris, Arles’ golden fields of Van Gogh, antiquities, and the heavenly food. Who can make a better pâté, a more mouth-watering croissant, patisseries that call out to you and say “the heck with the calories”, and so many more delicacies?Haven’t been to France, but still yearn for scrumptious French cuisine? Julia Child brought the world of French cooking to America in the early 1960s. She was inscrutable with her glass of wine, “go get ’em tiger” preparation

of food, and her commanding voice. Many of us took up her “call to arms” by putting on our aprons and attacking her recipes, just as Julia attacked the ingredients. We learned what beurre blanc was, as well as confit, a reduc-tion, béchamel, and just the right tem-peratures to make a perfect cheese straw or a delicate cream sauce. Much as I tried though, I never quite met her

Gay Barry | Quaker menus. Mr. Miller says, “He is the most French Irishman I have ever met.” Chef McCaffrey honed his skills in Paris. Theirs is a scratch kitchen; something of which to be proud. In addition, A la Maison also has an expert pastry chef.Category selec-tions include Pâtés and Fromages, Charcuterie Plat, Les Entrées (which we consider salads and soups), Fruits

other enticing choices are Steak Frites, Bouillabaisse, Salmon Été (Atlantic salmon, eggplant ragout, tomato con-fit, and sautéed spinach), and Bavette de Flanchet (marinated, sliced flank

steak, artisanal greens, toasted walnuts, cucumber, rad-ish, all splashed with mai-son sherry vinaigrette).A la Maison is a “five-star” restaurant, and win-ner of the Diners’ Choice award. I suggest you check them out online for special

de Mer, and Les Plats. You may want to begin your meal with mousse peppercorn, mousse truffle, or terrine mousquetaire. Cheeses available are Morbier, Fourme d’Ambert Bleu, Comté, Bucheron, or St. Andre. Ingredients come from cow’s milk, sheep’s milk, or goat’s milk. A Les Entrée item is the proverbial Soupe a L’oignon; consisting of crostini, Gru-yère cheese, and calvados. A few salad selections are endive, salade bettrave (baby beets, apples, baby arugula, goat cheese, and orange vinaigrette), and prawn. For Fruits de Mer, my eyes went immediately to the Escargots de Bour-gogne. I never think about what I am really eating, snails, because they are so yummy; and these were made just the way I like them with garlic, parsley, sweet butter, and a little wine. There are ten Les Plats (entrée) selections. I just knew that Jack and I would order the same thing, and we did. It was Boeuf Bourguignon with lovely braised aromatic vegetables, wild mushrooms, potato puree, and burgundy. The puree was unbelievably delicious. The meal was ecstasy, and better than Julia Child’s – that is when I am making it! Some

standards and was usually exhausted when I finished. But what I could make, as the saying goes, was reservations.It’s not so easy to find an exceptional French restaurant in our suburbs, how-ever I think I have. A la Maison is an elegant French-inspired bistro serving rustic French fare “that is classically inspired yet distinctively creative.” A warm, romantic glow abides. Owner Ted Miller is a chef himself, enabling him to confer knowledgeably with Chef Owen McCaffrey about recipes and

events such as live, diverse music. Normally, soft French music plays in the

background. Dinner is served Mon-day through Thursday from 5 to 9:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and brunch on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They are a BYOB, which I am very fond of. Reservations are a good idea, and are a must on weekends! Parking is available both on the street as well as behind their building.Did I mention how scrumptious the desserts are? I almost forgot, and there is a plethora from which to choose so you must save room! I asked to see the dessert menu before I ordered my main course, and that turned out to be a very smart move. Jack had profiteroles with a delicate pastry covering the ice cream and chocolate ganache. Pot de crême, a rich dark chocolate custard, was my choice – and worth every calorie.This can be a special occasion res-taurant or one that just satisfies your yearning for excellent French fare. The reviews I have seen are all outstanding, and I add mine to them. A votre santé!

The story is up-to-date on world events and edu-cates us while we are entertained.Lilac Girls, by Martha Hall Kelly, is inspired by the lives of three WWII heroines. It is a story of love, redemp-tion, and secrets that were hidden for decades. It is told through the perspec-tive of three women: one in NYC trying to help French children; one Polish who with her family are sent to a “re-educa-tion” camp; and one German doctor who worked at the above camp.

Steve Shugarts | Chester County Chapter

HEARINGLOSSASSOCIATIONOFAMERICA

The Chester County chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is an all-volunteer chapter and is never interested in selling you any-thing. We were established, 16 years ago, solely to help those in the Ches-ter County area with hearing loss (and other people caring for those with hear-ing loss). I believe the HLAA mission statement says it best: “Our mission is to open the world of communication to

hearing aids. For those individuals the experience is much more rewarding than only hearing part of what is being presented. The other key advantage in using the system is the ability to hear questions and comments from the audience (when they use a handheld microphone). Soon after our visit, we were asked to speak at the Chatham Village meeting. Those who attended the meeting and were able to turn on their T-coil were nicely surprised to be able to hear the presentation in perfect

volume and clarity.In my opinion, a good resource for understanding the basics of Loop Systems for hearing aids is the New York Times article that can be found at the following link: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/24/science/24loops.html?_r=0We are here to support Ches-

ter County including the Hershey’s Mill community! So please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need more information about any-thing to do with hearing loss, improved listening, or setting up your hearing aids with the T-coil functionality. We look forward to seeing new faces at our meetings, and would love to have you come to our next one. Our chap-ter meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of every month, from September to June, at 7 p.m. Our meeting location is about 1.5 miles from Hershey’s Mill at Christ Community Church. All infor-mation about meetings can be found at www.hearinglosschesco.com (our chapter’s website). If, perhaps, you’d like to pick a meeting with a specific speaker and/or subject, go to our web-site and look under the tab for upcom-ing meetings where you will see subject and speaker information.

people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support and advocacy.”Late last year a member of HLAA and a resident of Hershey’s Mill contacted us wanting to better understand the Listening Assistance System set up at the HM Community Center meeting room. The system is a Loop Induction System, and is generally considered the best system for helping the most people with hearing loss that are wearing hear-ing aids. Several of us from the chapter got involved and came to look over the system. We were very impressed at the quality and reliability of the system. We were told that as a basic setup for a meeting your staff turns on all systems including the Hearing Loop. There-fore, if a microphone is used during the meeting any attendee who has hearing aids and turns on their T-coil function will hear the speaker directly into their

BOOK CLUBCarol Barkovsky | EatonJoin us in Sullivan House, on Thurs-day, November 9 at 2 p.m., for a dis-cussion led by Alice Runiewiczto on The Queen’s Fool by Phillippa Gregor. In the winter of 1553, pursued by the Inquisition, Hannah Green, a four-teen-year-old Jewish girl, is forced to flee with her father from their home in Spain. But Hannah is no ordinary refugee; she has the gift of “Sight,” the ability to foresee the future, priceless in the troubled times of the Tudor court. Hannah must choose between the safe life of a commoner and the dangerous intrigues of the royal family that are inextricably bound up with her own yearnings and desires.

HM BOWLING LEAGUEJohn Cvinar | UlsterOur new 2017-2018 season, October through March, provides us 25 weeks of laughs and competition.

There are also two courts reserved for each night and Saturday. If you come you will play, as we have adopted a for-mat that lets everyone into the games. Future articles in the Guide and Digest will explain tennis programs and events. Enjoy the rest of the season.

PLATFORM/PADDLE TENNISJohn McGinty | BrightonOctober provides an excellent time to start playing platform tennis. The air feels crisp, so a good workout refreshes the body. Players who winter in Florida are still participating, giving us plenty of people. Thirty men and women regularly compete each season, either in mixed doubles, women’s matches, or just four men facing off to play each other. Plenty of opportunities exist at your level of comfort and interest. Play starts at 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fri-days on the courts behind the pool, fol-lowed by socializing and refreshment in the adjacent warming room. The HMSG can provide paddles and balls.

HM BIKERSSeth French | YardleyDo you have a bike in your garage with flat tires and a dry chain? Have you envisioned yourself going to buy some tight pants and a yellow jersey to ride in next year’s “Tour de Mill”, but know that is just a dream? We have an answer for you. We will help by taking your bike off your hands and selling/lending it to another resident or grandchild/guest. We will oil the chain, check brakes, inflate tires, and make it like new! Your bike could make someone’s visit to the Mill a day to remember. We have already loaned out bike racks for trips to the shore, and facilitated purchase/sales for residents. Call me at

LOCALHISTORY

Born in similar circumstances, as the seats of government for newly-divided counties, the boroughs of Norris-town and West Chester had close ties throughout the 19th century. West Chester became a borough in 1799 and Norristown in 1812. Thus began an association between the two in politi-cal, military, and educational matters that lasted more than 100 years.In pre-Revolutionary War Pennsylva-nia, the present West Chester was a vil-lage centered on the Turk’s Head tavern, and Norristown was a mere mill site with a small town around it (founded by the Norris family). Both West Ches-ter and Norristown were developed as county seats as a direct result of county divisions in the 1780s.

Joe Kennedy | Princeton Chester County, one of the original counties in colonial Pennsylvania, had its county seat in the town of Chester beginning in 1682. But dissatisfaction developed over time among farmers in the western townships who thought it took too long to travel to the county seat to conduct their legal affairs. They also thought that Chester was too much under the influence of Philadelphia.As a result, a movement was launched to change the county seat from Ches-ter to Turk’s Head tavern (later named West Chester.) The state’s first Gen-eral Assembly voted in 1780 to build a courthouse and prison near the tav-ern. This was strongly opposed by the political forces in Chester. But they were overcome in 1786, and construc-tion moved ahead on the new county building. Finally, in 1789, the county

was divided east and west, creating Delaware County and a smaller Ches-ter County.Likewise, farmers north of the city in Philadelphia County were unhappy over the taxes they had to pay to support what they called “city dwellers”. Many b e l i e v e d that their inter-

state’s National Guard. The Norristown unit represented the core of the newly formed Sixth Regiment, but attached to it was a troop of cavalry from West Chester. This relationship lasted until 1882, when the West Chester troop was ordered disbanded. In 1898, dur-ing the Spanish-American War, the Sixth Regiment, with Col. John W. Schall of Norristown commanding,

had a company from West Chester attached (under the command of Capt. Gibbons G. Cornwall, a West Chester lawyer). Corn-

wall moved on to the rank of

West Chester and Norristown

ests were given secondary importance to those of the city, and that the county seat was too far away from rural town-ships of the county. The result was that Montgomery County was split off from Philadelphia County in 1782.Records from both county historical societies show that Montgomery and Chester Counties were one congressio-nal district on and off from the 1790s until 1821; and that the two counties were a state senatorial district, also on and off, until 1873. During the decade before the Civil War, both counties had volunteer military companies. But because of the strong Quaker influence in Chester County, Montgomery had many more.Published histories of both counties state that because of the failure of state militia in the labor riots of 1877, Gov. John F. Hartranft reorganized the

colonel and commanded the Sixth; and in 1912, the year of Norristown’s Cen-tennial, he led a military parade in the borough.When public education began to expand in the region around the turn of the century, West Chester State Nor-mal School (now university) supplied many teachers. Each fall, a County Teachers’ Institute was held in Norris-town. County teachers, as well as many citizens from Norristown, attended the institute to hear presentations and read papers. Besides its educational ben-efits, the event was a social highlight. The staff of the institute was made up largely of the faculty of the West Ches-ter Normal School.The 20th century brought more popu-lation and diverging interests to the two county seat boroughs, and gradu-ally the contacts diminished.

TECHNOLOGYTIPS

I’m sure you all have experienced, at some point, being unable to connect to the Internet. It means you are not able to browse your favor-ite websites or get your e-mail. Wireless networking, or Wi-Fi, is commonplace in our homes and allows Internet activity to

If you lose your connection, the icon goes dark and shows an asterisk at about 10 o’clock. If moving your device closer does not solve the issue, then click the

Internet icon. It should bring up a list that includes your con-nection name (and probably a list of your neighbors’ connec-tions). Now, click your home’s listing, and in the pop-up win-

take place on mobile devices such as laptops and tablets. Unfortunately, it is more com-plex behind the scenes than you may realize. I won’t get into specifics here, but will say that many things have to work together correctly to permit a wireless connection. Here are some things you can do to recover from a “no connec-tion” scenario.On a Windows 10 computer, with a Wi-Fi connection, there is an icon near the clock that shows several white bands (in an arc shape from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock). [Shown are strong, weak, and no connection icon states, but there are others.] If you hover the mouse arrow over it, the name of your household connection should appear followed by “Internet access”. This indicates a suc-cessful connection to the Internet. The number of white arcs roughly indicates signal strength. Three arcs is optimal, two are satisfactory, and one may cause intermittent connectivity problems. If you only have one arc, move your com-puter closer to your modem/router.

dow click the box next to “Con-nect automatically”; then click Connect. If all goes well it will say “connected, secured”. Click the mouse again in any unused area to remove the Wi-Fi win-dow. Remember Wi-Fi is a

radio type transmitter. You “broadcast” your signal about 300 feet depending on your home’s construction. The more walls/floors you have between your computer and the modem/router, the weaker the signal. If that did not solve your problem, read on.It may now be necessary to power down your modem/router to allow it to reinitialize on power up. If you have a separate modem and router, turn off the power to both so all of the lights are off. Wait about 30 seconds, and turn on the modem first (important) and allow the lights to stabilize. Then turn on the router and allow the lights to stabilize. There will be blinking on some lights, but the idea here is that the overall pattern should remain constant. Next, try your computer to see if it can con-nect to the Internet (using the previous instructions if necessary as well).

At this point, if you cannot connect you should try another Wi-Fi com-puter or device. If that doesn’t con-nect, you may have to call Comcast or Verizon for help, but read on first. If it does connect, then the problem is with the other device. Before calling your provider, here’s something else to try. Press the Windows key (4 white panes in the lower left) on your keyboard. This will show a “gear” just above the “Power” icon on the far left side. Hover the mouse over it and it will show “Settings”. Click it and the Settings window will open. Click “Update & security”. Click “Troubleshoot” on the left side. Click “Internet Connections” near the top of the window. Click “Run the trouble-shooter”. Follow any screen prompts.

One last thing to try is to reset your net-work. Follow the previous instructions to open “Settings”, then click “Network & Internet”, and then click “Wi-Fi”. Click to turn it on if it’s off. Then click “Status” just above Wi-Fi. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click “Network reset”. Follow any screen prompts to complete the task.

I’ve given you things to try that should help in resolving connec-tivity problems. Although not complete, these do cover the more common problems encountered with Windows 10 Wi-Fi.

Be sure to attend PC Club meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Ardmore room of the HM Community Center. The meeting this month will cover this subject, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Golf

Tip

Matt Harvey, PGA

Here is an easy drill to help with proper impact and weight transfer. If you hang back on your right side on the down-swing, the clubhead will tend to reach the lowest point of its arc well before it reaches the ball. The club will actually be moving upward thru impact and a topped shot

will result. Simply place a head-cover on your target line about a foot behind the ball. Now using a short iron, hit the ball without making contact with the head-cover. This will ultimately force you to shift your weight to the front foot and strike the ball with a desired downward blow.

PICKLEBALL

This is a postscript to our special 3-part series that ended in September.As our inquisitive fictional pickleball friends, Martha and Homer, head off to emeritus status, we should thank them for setting the table for our three Guide and Digest articles. During their conversations, they mentioned a term that caught the eye of the editor, and we thought it right to follow up. [Edi-tor’s note: Thanks!] As we mentioned, the rules can take a bit of work to get used to, but the game is well worth the effort. As for the term “the kitchen”, it is slang for the area next to both sides of the net; for which the formal name is the non-volley zone (and there are spe-cial rules for it). As summarized by the International Federation of Pickleball:

“The non-volley zone is the 7-foot zone on both sides of the net. To volley a ball means to hit it in the

Tom Fant | Yardley

air without first letting it bounce. No volleying is permitted within the non-volley zone. This rule prevents players from executing smashes from a posi-tion within the zone. When volleying the ball, the player may not step on or over the line. It is a fault if the player’s momentum causes the player or any-thing the player is wearing or carry-ing to touch the non-volley zone. It is a fault even if the ball is declared dead before the player touches the zone. A player may be in the non-volley zone at any other time. The non-volley zone is sometimes referred to as ‘the kitchen’.”An example of this last part of the rule is what our brothers and sisters in ten-nis refer to as the “dead net cord” (or just “net cord”) shot that just trickles over. By all means, get into the kitchen and return it, but only after it bounces.See you at the courts, and play hard!

And lots more!
