I was a bit late making my coffee and changing my clocks on Sunday morning because I was so engrossed in two very interesting stories in the Sunday papers.
Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Kathy Brady Shea did a lengthy story on Richard Hayne's projects in Springdell. She put a lot of work into it and spoke to several local residents, came to several township meetings, sorted through a lot of documents and interviewed all three township supervisors -- but alas, she didn't get to talk to Mr. Hayne himself.
And Mike Rellahan of the Daily Local News interviewed West Marlborough supervisor Bill Wylie about the fact that West Marlborough actually showed a decreased population in the latest census (2000 -- 859; 2010 -- 814).
From Mike's story:
"I think the quality of life here and its rural aspect is very appealing to everybody [who lives here]," [Mr. Wylie] said, noting that the township had designed its zoning laws in part to encourage agricultural preservation and discourage residential or business development. "It has a small town feeling, everybody knows everybody else. We enjoy that."
