Delco Council Faces Real Angry Mob This Time Over Delco Woods Fears — This time, Elaine Paul Schaefer, it was an angry mob but the crowd at tonight’s, May 15, Delaware County (Pa.) Council meeting had the attention of the lawmakers.
Councilwoman Schaefer left the May 1 meeting early to attend an event sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. She claimed she was late because she had to face “an angry mob” spouting “hate speech”. The reality was there was no hate speech; the crowd was not particularly angry; and Ms. Schaefer left well before public comments started.
Many throughout the night called her out on her fabulation and demanded an apology.
Tonight’s anger stemmed from the County’s lawsuit against Marple Township which rezoned the entire 213-acre Delco Wood park as open space to foil a mental hospital the County is considering putting there.
The County is demanding that the 33-acres where sat the Don Guanella School remain institutional.
The county had promised to look for alternative sites for the needed mental facility which presumably would not be near a park or school
The filing of the lawsuit was seen by many as betrayal.
Kay Dugery, the Republican nominee for the 166th District State House seat, told Council that what they did was disturbing.
“Rather than listening to your constituents, you sued Marple,” she said.
Michael Straw, who heads Media Borough’s Republican Party wanted to know why Council is suing Marple if they plan to put the facility elsewhere. He also noted that the county is still accepting grants to create programs without having long-term plans for when the grant money expires.
Except raise taxes, he said. He credited Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther for honesty on that point.
He asked Councilwoman Schaefer to correct her record on describing those attending the last meeting as an angry mob.
He said she was better than that.
Glen of Marple accused Council of breaking promises. He thought it suspicious that the Don Guanella buildings were now boarded up.
Another Glen thought there was something deeper going on.
Joe Finio of Marple read from a two-year-old Daily Times story from when the property was purchased that quoted Councilwoman Schaefer saying county taxes would not be raised by the $22 million purchase and that the park would remain untouched.
He said the citizens are not going to stand by and let council break its promises.
Margie from Marple said she knew council was lying about looking for another site because of the lawsuit.
Charlie Alexander of Marple, who is leading the fight to stop an institution in the park, was the first speaker in the second round of public comments. He said he hears from many who won’t speak out for fear of retribution. He noted that Council limited the audience to 55 despite the council room having an occupancy of 131 at the last meeting. Alexander accused them of doing it for optics. He was among those ripping Councilwoman Schaefer for the comments she made after the last meeting.
He passionately demanded that Delco declare itself to be a non-sanctuary county and prohibit non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from assisting those here illegally.
“How are you going to some day explain to your kids why you support human trafficking,” he asked.
NGOs are implicated in illegally bringing children into the United States for sex trafficking.
Charlie was followed by his father, Howard, who said while President Trump stopped the global elites Agenda 2021 plan their Agenda 2030 plan for mass slavery and impoverishment continues.
Sharon Devaney of Haverford Township again noted how illegals get benefits while she remains impoverished from a 2017 accident caused by an illegal.
The issue has taken off in Delco since she started speaking out against it.
“I’ve swatted the hornets nest when it comes to illegals,” she said.
She noted that speaking out has come at a cost. She says her phone has been hacked, as was her bank account.
Kathy from Haverford was among those pointing out that the Ms. Schaefer left the last meeting before public comments. She asked that she refund the $2,200 she got per meeting.
She also criticized Councilman Kevin M. Madden, regarding his performance as prison liaison. She said it was dangerous for inmates and correctional officers.
Denise, a nurse from Marple, lambasted Council’s recognition of May 20-28 as “Period Poverty Awareness” week. It’s to teach women how to use menstrual products. The county is going to have a health fair for it 2-4 p.m., May 19, at the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology in Media. We are not making this up.
“When did that become the responsibility of Council?” Denise asked.
It was a question on the minds of many judging by the snickers — overwhelmingly female — heard when the event was initially described.
Denise also took issue with a group identifying itself as “Black Nurses” something.
“We are all nurses and I am so sick to death of being separated by race,” she said.
She also wanted to know why the county is wasting money suing Marple.
Ingrid from Marple wanted to know why the shuttered Delaware County Memorial Hospital wasn’t being considered for a mental facility. She also said our border is as bad as Afghanistan.
Frank of Havertown thought a facility at Delco Woods would be used for illegals.
Tevin Dix of Upper Darby said illegal immigration is a big problem in American and especially affects the Black community. He also shared the suspicion that the crowd was limited in the previous meeting for visuals.
Joanne from Brookhaven had some choice words.
“Period poverty, what in actual hell is that?”
Councilwoman Schaefer said she is on record as being opposed to any type of institutional or government use of Delco Woods and remains vehemently so. Regarding her unfortunate smear, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize.
Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther said she had nothing to say that would add to the dialogue.
Councilman Richard R. Womack addressed concerns raised about the county’s George Hill Prison during public comments (see story). He said he can’t speak on some things that he has observed because they are under investigation.
He praised the correctional officers for coming to the meetings. Womack said they really are making a difference.
He said he hears the concerns regarding Delco Woods and the county really is looking at other sites.
Chairwoman Dr. Monica Taylor promised that the county is looking at other sites for the facility. She said the county is suing Marple because the zoning it instituted would prevent the county from building a playground.
Ed Note: We are confident Marple would grant a variance to build a playground or skate park or allow a building to be used for a museum.
Chairwoman Taylor said the county doesn’t own Delaware County Memorial Hospital.
In response to another point, she said that the mental facility at Fitzgerald Mercy is not designed for the type of patient not being served. She said that these people are actually living free in communities now.
She said councilmembers aren’t paid by the meeting but get a $52,000 salary and that she works more than 40 hours per week on county business.
Solicitor Jonathan Lichtenstein earlier said George Hill Prison is in full compliance with all state and federal laws regarding illegals.
Council also got a pointed warning regarding election integrity. See here.
Delco unveiled a plan to stop using Covanta’s trash-to-steam plant which now handles 85-percent of Delco’s 400,000 tons of waste. See here.

Guatemala Says Biden-Connected NGO Is Child Trafficking — Guatemalan authorities, April 25, raided Save the Children offices.
Save the Children is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that claims to defend the rights of children. It’s involved in the mass migration occurring on the U.S. southern border in abeyance of the law.
Guatemala says that Save the Children is only about saving the children for sexual exploitation in the United States.
Guatemala Attorney General María Consuelo Porras Argueta and Secretary General Ángel Pineda, who approved the raid, have been sanctioned by the European Union and the United States which claim them to be corrupt.
Neither are allowed entrance into the United States.
First Lady Jill Biden is a former chairwoman of Save the Children.
Pineda gave his side in an interview posted on X by Robby Starbuck, May 13.

Inquirer Reports On Proposed Havertown Home For Recovering Addicts
By Sharon Devaney
Jesse Bunch’s article about the proposed community home for recovering drug addicts at 17 Tenby Road, Havertown, ran in The Philadelphia Inquirer, May 12.
It was surprisingly fair. There was some points he left out which I don’t hold against him as space is limited in newsprint and he did provide a link to my full answer here.
One left-out point concerns Savage Sisters President Mary Nolan’s outburst that she would fill the single-family home with 25 persons rather than the eight she said she was seeking in her request for a variance.
Haverford Township law limits non-related people living in a home to three.
Maybe she wasn’t serious but it’s certainly a strong sign she has no plans on listening to the wants of the community.
Another concern was whether the house managers would have training in mental health and substance abuse; and whether they were certified in CPR, first aid , child abuse and child trafficking as all other health professionals are in Pennsylvania.
Apparently, they are not going to be.
Also, because it is a residential neighborhood and children play outside, there would be better options to help place these individuals in recovery. We do all want them to get well and get the help they need in the best place for them. We want to see everyone overcome their shortcomings. This isn’t about left or right, black or white. There is no discrimination here at all just concerns from the community.

Revoke Hate-Speakers F-1 Visas, Says Senator
By Joe Guzzardi
The coast-to-coast college rioting and destruction that marked late April and early May should draw attention to international students and precipitate a demand from fed up citizen taxpayers that the federal government tighten up the F-1/J-1 student visa guidelines. Participating in the criminal behavior at Columbia, Penn, UCLA, USC, North Carolina, and NYU, among dozens of other prominent universities, were students holding temporary non-immigrant visas. More than one million foreign-born students including 45,000 from the Middle East arrived on U.S. campuses in academic year 2022/2023. The premise is that the visa programs give foreign-born university students an opportunity to study in the U.S. so that they will be better able to contribute to their countries advancement when they return home. But, in practice, many foreign students remain in the U.S. and hire on with an American company, thus displacing citizen job seekers. Overstaying non-immigrant visas is an easily done crime especially since no one in federal immigration enforcement seeks them out.
From highly selective UCLA—only 8.8 percent of its 145,904 applicants are admitted—more than 3,000 students from 85 nations arrive on mostly F-1 student visas, but also on J-1 exchange visas. Although UC Berkeley has long been considered the gem of the UC system, its overall admission acceptance rate is 11.6%, 125,910 applications and 14,566 accepted. Cal’s international F-1/J-1 enrollment is 7,343.
UCLA’s anti-Semitic gang activity was uglier than Cal’s, but the Golden Bears had a critical free speech showdown. Pro-Palestinian students and their outside agitator comrades set up about 15 tents on the steps of Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza on Monday afternoon, vowing to stay put until the university system officially called for an end to the Israel-Hamas war, cut its study-abroad program with Israel and divests from companies with ties to Israel. Berkeley Law School student Malak Afaneh, co-president of Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine, finally gave the speech Jewish law school Dean Erwin Chemerinsky prevented her from giving at an invitation-only lunch he and his civil rights law professor wife, Catherine Fisk, hosted at their home. In front of Fisk and Chemerinsky’s house, Afaneh yelled: “I will keep shouting this speech from the rooftops until Palestine is free.”
In a statement published on the Berkeley Law website, Chemerinsky said that he and his wife had been inviting students to their home for dinner since he became a dean. “I never imagined that something that we do to help our community would become ugly and divisive,” he said. Chemerinsky continued: “I am enormously sad that we have students who are so rude as to come into my home, in my backyard, and use this social occasion for their political agenda.
“We’re willing to risk suspension,” said Afaneh, a third-year law student and a Palestinian-American, who believes a Palestinian state should replace the country of Israel. “We’re willing to risk expulsion; we’re willing to risk arrest. We’re willing to risk anything to stand here until we achieve our demands for divestment.” Chemerinsky responded, correctly, to Afaneh’s invocation of the Constitution when he countered: “This is my house! The First Amendment doesn’t apply!” One lawyer’s interpretation held by most constitutional scholars: —“public university students don’t have a First Amendment right to take over a backyard dinner party — even one their school is hosting.” And from George Washington University professor of public interest law Johathan Turley’s blog: “Regrettably, the scene that unfolded at the home of Dean Chemerinsky will be viewed by many as a triumph rather than an embarrassment for their cause. Disruption has become the touchstone of protests in higher education.” At the same time in what should be a ten-alarm fire warning for Americans watching U.S. sovereignty erode, schools like UCLA have paid activists-in-residence or now bestow degrees in activism.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Harvard Law School, J.D. 2002, after observing the campus chaos and violence, said “And by the way, any of these students who are foreigners here on visas should immediately have their visas revoked by the Biden Administration, be promptly deported. They have no right to be here. They certainly have no right to be here spewing anti-Semitic and anti-Israel filth.” Deporting lawbreakers is, however, inconsistent with Biden’s immigration agenda which is to reward, not punish, criminals.
