Unassimilated Immigrants Fill Delco Apartment Buildings

Unassimilated Immigrants Fill Delco Apartment Buildings

By Sharon Devaney

Aston is green lighting the construction of apartments in a crowded section of the township, and apartment complexes, generally unattractive ones, are popping up at an accelerated rate throughout Delaware County, PA.

Whoever can be moving into this places?

Let me tell you hat happened to me at the Waterford Apartments in Havertown about nine years ago.

When I moved in, the apartment complex was well kept and clean. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was wonderful and friendly. If I needed something fixed the response was quick. It was a child and pet friendly enviroment. The neighbors were wonderful and friendly. When I renewed my lease within the year I started having some issues with other renters which I didnt experience before.

Then trash started appearing on the grounds. These included soiled diapers. The trash cans througout the grounds were ignored. Darby Creek in the back suddenly had trash floating in it.

The new residents could not speak English. Once upon coming home I saw a toddler’s head pushed outside a screen in a window on a second floor apartment. I had to run to the office to report it to the manager because there was no parent near the baby to help him.

Another very terrifying experience was with the new neighbors across the hall. They prayed in the hall outside my door and asked me in broken English why I wasnt wearing a hijab.

“Why would I?” I asked. “I’m Catholic.”

“You need to respect us,” they demanded.

I also had a small dog and they said they did not like animals. Herbie, my dog, was also apparently a sign of disrespect.

The men shouted constantly at their wives and disrespected them in front of others. On trips to the market, it was the wives who carried in the groceries despite the presence of empty-handed men.

I started making sure I left lights on at night and made sure my daughter was never alone.

These immigrants, I learned, received subsidized rent and health insurance, along with EBT cards.

I was a single mom with two kids. I worked full time. No subsidies for me.

The new immigrants did not assimilate and conditions worsened.

I chose not to renew my lease after an accident in 2017 left me permanently handicapped. The accident occurred a short distance from the apartments and the driver at fault was an illegal immigrant from Trinidad.

Still no subsidies, by they way, and I still work full time.

A society is required to have values and impose them. One of the values treasured in America is that one may not fight about theology. Another is that the rule of law applies equally to all. The illegal who crippled me was never prosecuted, I’ll note.

I used to wonder why our government subsidized illegals and gave them privileges unavailable to the native born.

Today’s news includes a report that an armed gang of illegals from Venezuela took over an apartment complex in Aurora, Col.

It appears that a group of sick but powerful people are importing their own army.

Yesterday’s conspiracy theory is today’s news.

Savage Sisters In Trouble Over Grant

Savage Sisters In Trouble Over Grant

By Sharon Devaney

Seems like the Savage Sisters are at it again mishandling a grant given to them by Delaware County, Pa. for another recovery home .

They are asking the public for donations of $250,000 , the same amount used to purchase 142 Springton Road, Upper Darby paid in cash by Sarah Laurel — in her name — from SSAE Prop LLC.

Before SSAE, the home had been owned by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Some are suggesting they need this back in the bank fairly quickly before an audit.

The home is assessed at $70,000, by the way.

Here are the receipts.

And do The Savage Sisters really have no plan of paying their 10 employees in 2025?

What does State Sen. Amanda Cappelletti think of all this? She sits on the board of The Savage Sisters. Amanda, a Democrat, represents the 17th District which includes Haverford Township where the organization tried to pack a home on Tenby Avenue with recovering drug addicts in complete violation of township law.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon might want to chime in too. She’s buds with Amanda and a big supporter of this group.

Superintendent Reusche Blames State For Not Notifying District Of Lynnewood Teacher Arrest

Superintendent Reusche Blames State For Not Notifying District Of Lynnewood Teacher Arrest

By Sharon Devaney

Superintendent Maureen Reusche, at the Aug. 1 Haverford Township (Pa.) School Board meeting, blamed the state for failing to notify the district of the two arrests of Lynnewood 5th grade teacher Matthew Gagat for masturbating in public.

“The problem is a technical one,” she said she was told.

The district’s policy is for parents to contact the teacher about such concerns, and then the principal before contacting the central office, she said. However, the parents can contact the administration if they feel they are being ignored.

So, were they being ignored? Was the principal told? Why wouldn’t the principal contact the superintendent?

We hear that parents had been expressing concern about Gagat’s classroom behavior for some time.

Lets not forget that the administration defended High School Vice Principal Steven Quinn despite his posting uncomfortably suggestive photos of himself on Instagram.

Perhaps the school district should worry less about diversity and more about character and competence.

In other matters, a few residents continued to push for impractical solar panels at Chatham Park Elementary School.

They argued that state subsidies would make solar energy affordable.

Newsflash: State subsidies are tax money also.

Haverford’s Proud Tradition Of Perversion Continues

Haverford’s Proud Tradition Of Perversion Continues

By Sharon Devaney

Matthew Gagat, a fifth grade teacher at Lynnewood Elementary school in Haverford Township, Pa., is facing charges of indecent exposure after he was reportedly caught masturbating March 3 in Whitemarsh Cemetery in Montgomery County and on June 27 in Lenape Park in Bucks County.

Gagat made national news.

The district begged for patience .

“The challenge for a school system in these moments is to appropriately address our community concerns while maintaining the procedures — both in the criminal justice system and as a district employee– that the individual is entitled to under the law,” said Superintendent Maureen Reusche.

This statement by Ms Reusche is quite reasonable. We understand, however, that Gagat has been the subject of complaints for the last two years. These included his removing his shirt in front of fifth graders during class.

These complaints were ignored.

Perversion is nothing new in Haverford Township.

High School Vice Principal Steven Quinn was quietly let go a few years back after he exposed himself in photos on Instagram. Quinn had befriended many students on the site. One photo featured Quinn wearing nothing but Christmas lights. Students angry at Quinn made t-shirts with this photo and wore them to class.

Ms Reuche defended Quinn as long as she could. We hear he is now working in a New Jersey school district.

Former Haverford High Vice Principal Steve Quinn was defended to the end by Superintendent Maureen Reusche until student protests made it lights out. The protests included students wearing t-shirts emblazoned with this photo to class

Prized Catch In Ardmore

Prized Catch In Ardmore — A young fisherman shows off his catch on the SEPTA busway by Chestnutwold School in the Ardmore section. The creek is clean with fish, turtles and ducks. The busway needs a lot of work, though. The fish was released after it was caught.

Graffiti Plagues Ardmore; Does Larry Holmes Care?

Graffiti Plagues Ardmore; Does Larry Holmes Care?— This fence that separates the SEPTA bus route from Chestnutwold Elementary School sure is looking a bit urban. This is in the 6th Ward in the Ardmore section of Haverford Township, Pa., which is represented by Commissioner Larry Holmes. So Larry what are you doing about this? Don’t you care? Does the Haverford Township School Board? By the way the SEPTA bus route is looking pretty poorly too. We see that former Montco Commissioner Ken Lawrence has been named chairman of SEPTA’s board.
