Bike path opposition doesn’t add up
Walking away now would be an expensive mistake
By Mike McGann, Editor, UnionvilleTimes.com
Looks like there’s going to be some furor over East Marlborough’s bike path project at Monday night’s Board of Supervisors meeting.
You may recall the board of supervisors was split on continuing funding design of the project, but on a split vote, backed spending to complete the design.
Forget for second...
New school board faces challenges early
By Mike McGann, Editor, UnionvilleTimes.com
Ah…the peace of the holiday season.
After months of, shall we say, intensity here in Unionville, we now on this final weekend of November find ourselves stuffed with turkey, good will and for some, a need for a nice, quiet nap. Others, like yours truly, have to start the preparations for getting out the holiday lights and sorting through the holiday...
So much to be thankful for
What a difference a year makes
By Mike McGann, Editor, UnionvilleTimes.com
Thursday, as you probably know from the near-riot conditions at the Super-Fresh, is Thanksgiving.
In doing my research for this year’s column, I looked back on last year’s column (which actually ran on Thanksgiving) and noted all of the things I’m personally thankful for in and around Unionville.
Without doubt, I’m still...
Election 2011: the move to the middle?
Can moderation be the winner in this year’s school board election?
By Mike McGann, Editor, UnionvilleTimes.com
So what lessons are we to draw from this past week’s elections?
Does this represent some sort of mandate to raise taxes, spend lots of money and basically go nuts when it comes to the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District?
In a word (a really short one): no.
No more than 2009’s...
Letter: Do says thank you
To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the voters of the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District who came out to vote in the recent election for the School Board of Directors. As I said many times, this election has a greater impact on local families and community members than the Presidential election, and I appreciate all those who took the time to make their voices heard...
Letter: Penn State — A failure in judgment
To The Editor:
One dishonorable individual performed (allegedly) despicable and horrific acts, for which he eventually (but not soon enough) will spend the rest of his days behind bars and ultimately have to answer to a higher authority.
Six presumably and otherwise honorable and moral men failed to perform honorably and morally at a brief instance in their lives when they had a chance to stop the...
Letter: Bushelow says thank you
To The Editor:
Thank you to everyone in Region B of the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District for voting for me. I assure you that I will make good decisions for our school district.
Unfortunately, I did not get around to every polling place Tuesday afternoon, but am truly grateful to everyone for their support.

Vote as if, oh, about a half billion is at stake — it is
Lousy odd-year election turn out makes little sense if you think about it
By Mike McGann, Editor, UnionvilleTimes.com
Tuesday is Election Day. Yes, this Tuesday. No, not the one in 2012 that political commentators have themselves in a tizzy over.
“There’s an election this year?” Yeah. I’ve heard that too many times over the last decade during odd-numbered years.
Nope. This minor,...
Letters: Support for Do
To The Editor:
I am writing to support Kathy Do for school board. As well as being the kind of wonderful neighbor that you can always count on, she has been extremely supportive of the Best Buddies Club at UHS, which supports people with intellectual disabilities, such as my daughter, Marina. Kathy wrote a very informative article about Best Buddies in the local paper and she has helped Marina...
Letter: Attacks on Meehan-Do unfair
To the Editor:
In the last few weeks, I’ve started to see some attacks against School Board candidate Kathleen Meehan Do in some of the local press. Clearly the people who are leveling these attacks do not know Kathy, so I wanted to take a moment to let people know about the Kathy Do I know.
