Radnor Democratic Party

While the Nation displayed mixed results, Radnor voters called an
altogether different sort of referendum this Election Day.

Yesterday, for perhaps the first time ever and definitely the first time
in any resident's memory, Radnor Township voters tipped the balance of power on
the seven-member Board of Commissioners to the Democrats.

Democrats Elaine Paul Schaefer (Ward 4) and John C. Nagle (Ward 5) both
won their respective wards' commissioner races.  The offices of sitting
commissioners John Fisher (Ward 7) and Bill Spingler (Ward 3) were not up
for re-election this fall, so in January the two newly-elected Democratic
commissioners will help form a 4-3 Democratic majority within the body.

Township Democratic Party Chairman Bruce Bikin said, "Winning was the easy part.  We
had the best candidates.  Now they have to figure out how to steer the township back
on course. That won't be so easy."

As the township tackles difficult fiscal issues resulting from past
mismanagement of ex-township manager David Bashore and largely ignored by
long-term Republican board members, the new board will have its work cut
out for it.

Change the majority in Radnor.

To the Editor:

Curriculum. It is the content of what the children are taught, and the manner in which they are taught it. Curriculum is the design of a course, and yet a whole lot more. It is the organic coordination of courses within a school system. Finally, curriculum includes the observation and measurement of its own effectiveness: How well are our children being taught? Are they being taught appropriately and with consistency? The creation, delivery and evaluation of curriculum constitute the most important thing a school district does.
