get ready to vote…in east whiteland

Posted on October 5, 2026 by carla

My ballot was slightly mutilated, but it arrived. I have already filled it in. Especially the additional supervisors question.

My impetus?

The data center.

Why?

Two supervisors whom in my opinion are afraid to say no, and a third who is a total nasty to residents, a form of sell out.

Members of the Great Valley Democrats literally went to community signing events to stop the ballot question from reaching the ballot (former supervisor Bill Holmes and former VP of ChesCo Dems Jerry Pyne). Now they are saying nothing…but in my humble opinion we know that they are most probably still quietly trying to quite literally stop the public from what they have the right and legal choice to want.

The other thing to note is the Vacancy Board chair in East Whiteland is Jerry Pyne right? So that makes him a tiebreaker in case a supervisor gets incapacitated, and it also gives him the ability to appoint someone, correct? So is it so far-fetched to think that if something happened he might appoint Bill Holmes again if the opportunity arose?

gosh this is illuminating isn’t it?

Now the East Whiteland Republican committee is busy, busy, busy posting Trump BS and sharing disbarred Rudy Giuliani posts and circulating their version of a sample ballot where they say no to 2 additional supervisors.

It kind of blows my mind that they are actively soliciting Republicans to say no to this because it’s actually an opportunity for them to level the playing field in East Whiteland because they aren’t getting any traction otherwise.

the ballot question in east whiteland township.

It is possible that it is a curiously just East Whiteland thing that both political parties are freaking out at the idea of two more supervisors. The politics in this particular township are not particularly enlightened and there has always been deal making between the two parties hasn’t there been? At different points in time I have almost felt like it’s a giant political party named Pat (like the Saturday Night Live skits of years past ) not really one thing or the other, but both.

East Whiteland residents will hopefully take this opportunity to push back where they can. The township has grown exponentially since inception of local government, and there needs to be more representation. Whichever political party ends up on the top of the dirt pile depends entirely on them. It would be nice to see supervisors who were registered independents.

But that’s a conversation for another day. I do believe there are people willing to run. We just have to get two more supervisors added.

So if you are a mail in ballot person, it’s easy same as if you vote in person. Say YES to two more supervisors and consider saying NO to Kristine Howard if you can manage it.

Make the future what you want.

cornell and chi phi, it’s called “gang rape”

Posted on October 5, 2026 by carla

Cornell University and Tompkins County? It’s called rape. When frat boys did this when I was in college they called it “riding the train.”

We are all Jane Doe. This is not some random “me too” rebirth.

I would say it was time for the stuff to stop, but since rape has existed since the beginning of time, I don’t hold out much hope.

I would also say it’s time that we stop blaming the victims, but that’s another thing that is as old as time.

ABC News had a report on tonight and I can’t find a YouTube on it yet so I took a video.

Posted on October 5, 2026 by carla

This was sent to me and it was taken over near the bike trail bridge.

How is it they keep digging and stuff when they don’t have the AQUA letters, all of the PECO stuff etc.?

What is going on over at Foote Mineral in East Whiteland Township today?

The person who sent video said:

“They had a 20 foot by 4 foot wide drain pipe in the bucket . It did not look very old.”

rainy day sunday simple

Posted on October 4, 2026 by carla

After a long weekend including time at the emergency vet, and given the weather, simple comfort was what I wanted for dinner.

A few days ago I made a roast chicken (fresh organic chicken from Whitehorse Farm in Berwyn) and saved the bones and carcass and pan juices.

Late this morning I made a batch of bone broth. Lots of fresh herbs and celery, carrots, onions, garlic. Sea salt and pepper. I also added boneless skinless chicken breasts for shredding which I removed about an hour before I strained the broth. I used my 8 quart vintage Dansk Kobenstyle but it was only 2/3 full when I began cooking)

After the bone broth was made (it takes a few hours covered on a low flame after initially bringing everything to a boil), I strained out the bones and vegetables. I added the chicken which I had shredded, two cups of Greek orzo (it’s longer), 1 can of drained beans (pinto today), a dozen leftover cherry tomatoes from the vine in my garden, and a couple of big sage leaves, and a Parmesan cheese rind (I save cheese rinds and ends of cheese for added flavor.)

Then I bring everything to a boil again and reduce the heat to very low and cover. I stir occasionally until done. The orzo absorbs almost but not quite all of the broth, and the tomatoes cook and burst open adding even more flavor.

Is this a precise recipe? No but the easiest and most delicious food doesn’t necessarily happen that way.

east whiteland seems ok with recreating louden county virginia more locally?

East Whiteland wants a pat on the back for updating their website where it concerns the data center? Here’s the link but don’t expect a pat on the back from me:

https://www.eastwhiteland.org/news_detail_T2_R315.php

If they want praise, then they can stop the data center, right?

I am quite honestly sick of the municipal soft shoe here, aren’t all of you? This project IMHO will be worse and more destructive that Foote Mineral the EPA superfund site it’s being built on. Note I said in my humble opinion/IMHO.

Also IMHO? They should have said no and could have said no when Charlie the fig wanted a hydrogen hub in West Whiteland way back when right?

Now stockbroker turned developer Charlie is getting pissy on his LinkedIn and seemingly defensive according to this screenshot isn’t he? I ditched LinkedIn as a useless social media appendage a few years ago now, so this was sent to me as it is currently circulating as curious, right?

The eternal puzzle of course is how is there work going on over there at Foote if they don’t have the green light letters from AQUA or PECO? And crushing what exactly and does the township, PA DEP, and EPA give a f😡ck?

Of course what is most amusing about this LinkedIn rant are this dude’s assertions that without his data center we will have no cell phones, no Internet, Netflix, etc etc? Oh ok we’ll wait for the proof that his ever changing project is for all of that right? I mean especially since we have all of these things without his community and environmental killing project now right? And I guess he and big orange are best buddies since he makes a misleading national security statement?

Is he like freaking Moses with the electronic Ten Commandments or what?

Here’s his excellent website this morning FYI:

(Tried several different browsers so far and if he can’t put up a consistent or basic website, East Whiteland wants to trust him with a data center? 🤣)

Here’s the website of the New York crew: https://sentineldatacenters.com/

Note that they are in Louden County Virginia:

So Charlie the fig seems to really want his data center? How’s about putting it in his front yard in Willistown then? What could possibly go wrong?

I will close with a video from Louden County, Virginia…the place East Whiteland didn’t know about when starting the data center journey back when Rich Orlow and Sue Drummond were still supervisors but couldn’t have been bothered checking out before they started down this path to hell, right? And then when was it in the last year or so that they said they spoke to Louden County, Virginia officials and still did not get it? They never physically went to visit did they?

Well here East Whiteland Township, watch this you collective of data center-centric idiots. This is what you are dooming us to:

Oh and read this:

happy anniversary frazer antique market!

Posted on October 2, 2026 by carla

Yesterday I wandered into my favorite haunt to celebrate day 1 of the first anniversary weekend of the rebirth and rejuvenation of a beloved local business.

Now under the direction of Kristin Smith of Smithfield Barn fame, it is an absolute wonderland of antiques, vintage finds, and artisan crafts people. With Kristin at the helm, it is an ever changing kaleidoscope of wonderful!

Yes I essentially have frequent flyer miles, but I love the place!

This weekend, there are special treats every day to celebrate this market. Antique markets used to be plentiful in this area, now they are more scarce than hens’ teeth. this market is shopping local and it’s wonderful.
