A friend of mine sent me a news report and a Facebook post from an animal rescue this morning. It blew me away and made me want to throw up at the same time.
At the end of May, the news in the region was filled with the horrible site of a barn, full of animals in Montgomery County, up in flames. It was known as House of Wiggle.
We all shared the articles and the GoFundMe raising money for the injured animals and family affected. The GoFundMe is up still and active.
I just don’t understand animal abuse. And these people have a lot of children as well as per the wife’s testimony in 2024:
The testimony says 11 children, and implies some special needs, are they OK? What happens to any animals on this farm now?
I guess I am incredulous to an extent of the amount of media coverage that these people got after their fire and now they’re facing a whole other level of public scrutiny, aren’t they?
But again, disbelief.How could they? How could they do this? How could they take money from people after this fire knowing how they treated the animals?
I guess once again this is a case of know your rescue?
This is horrible and tragically sad.
It looks like all the social media accounts for this rescue have disappeared.
So if you want to visit the 2025 Time Machine for the Main Line, you will remember back towards the winter into the early spring there was a lot of chatter about the much lauded Agnes Irwin School in Radnor Township right? Nasty glare bomb lights? A dog and pony show at a Radnor Township meeting by the school and a former member of the police force now Agnes Irwin security living in a house the school owns that used to belong to someone’s parents I went to school with many moons ago? (Ahh yes I remember it well….or so the line from an old show tune goes….)
I don’t think very much happened with regard to the lights. And I don’t think Radnor Township backed up the neighbors much at all?
Anyway, around that time, it also came out that they were proposing turf fields. I should say proposing turf fields again, because Agnes Irwin has run into issues before having to do with turf fields haven’t they? All you have to do is go do an archive search of Main Line Media News…. or ask people who remember.
So if you are a neighbor of Agnes Irwin, are they treating you the neighbors with respect? I mean it’s been bad enough the past couple/few years as parking everywhere seems to have become normal rather than occasional, correct?
I do not recall that the lights seemed particularly better now? I mean you would hope by now they would’ve at least changed the kind of bulbs so it was less glare bomb right? All should be shaded down too, right?
So with the lights, etc. that’s one giant demerit for them in the environmentally, friendly aspect isn’t it? Isn’t it well documented what lights do to the flight paths of migrating birds and nature? And interrupting human sleep cycles?
So now everything is all torn up because they’re putting in turf fields. I also seemed to recall that the turf field they are creating on the playing fields that run alongside the one side of those residential streets off of Conestoga they abut goes to the creek, doesn’t it? We all know what it takes to “recycle” turf fields, correct? Isn’t it like places where they just dump the old rolls of turf they don’t like really recycle them per se do they?
Artificial turf can contain PFAS right? It also breaks down over time, releasing microplastic particles into the environment. Irwins has been saying that their turf is carbon neutral? OK so that might mean they’re using recycled plastic maybe? It still doesn’t negate all the other potential issues, does it? Sorry not sorry I don’t believe the carbon neutral turf actually helps the environment or mitigates climate change. My opinion is that this is the Emperor’s New Sporty Clothes. But you can bet that it’s really really expensive, right?
It’s ridiculously hard to recycle artificial turf. That is the reality. It ends up in landfills, doesn’t it? If you Google, you can see pictures of like fields or piles of it in landfills.
Something else is it contributes to something they call “heat island effects.” So it’s not real, it’s fake so as opposed to grass, it absorbs and retains more heat. Which means that Agnes Irwin is going to possibly heat up residential neighbors as well isn’t it?
Artificial turf also contributes to loss of habitat for nature and wildlife. Turf doesn’t need to be watered per se, but again what happens when water even rains runs off turf? Pollutants, right?
So Agnes Irwin is trying to build its legacy to itself. In my humble opinion, they’re desperately trying to compete with the other private schools in the vicinity. Can they compete? I don’t know. My opinion remains that their obsession over the years with turf fields says to me they are concerned with the wrong things. Athletics are great, but is there a true balance with academics?
And if you notice in one of the pictures that were taken from a public road with no trespassing, you will notice there’s a split rail fence between the school and the public streets and neighbors, right?
I think that the school needs to put up a more permanent kind of fence which cuts down on cut throughs. You know like a 6 foot wrought iron looking fence and screening landscaping that is properly and consistently maintained? The reality is them putting in fields like this means they’re going to have to make them pay because they are that expensive.
Other schools with fields like this will often rent their fields, I think they should spare the neighbors by putting up a more permanent fence so the neighbors don’t have any more unintended consequences to deal with and they do already having a private school as a neighbor.
So a good fence might make for good neighbors right? (And it would cut down on those pesky cut through and parking all over neighborhood streets, wouldn’t it?)
Agnes Irwin has its turf fields being built, so now it’s time for them to stop being selfish jerks to the neighbors and do better, don’t you agree?
As for Radnor Township, people are complaining that they changed the route of the Garrett Hill 4th of July parade when hello perspective? This is kind of the stuff that matters in the bigger picture, isn’t it? I mean to me the whole thing with these turf fields / glare bomb lights and Radnor Township kind of reminds me of all they haven’t done in North /West Wayne about stormwater management over the years , doesn’t it?
And no matter what you think, these fields are not environmentally friendly, and shame on those involved. And at the end of the day, turf fields also aren’t particularly easy on human joints are they?
Just another rather predictable and to a contentious issue in Radnor. It makes you wonder when residents will actually matter again or should I say all residents?
So NO to dirty politics and YES to smaller government. Say YES to not raising taxes on our seniors and those on fixed incomes. My opponent is still obsessing about a debate. Her moderators are 1)a guy from outside our community who is engaging my opponent’s supporters to stump for her and 2) below is the picture of the front yard of the other guy. Yeah, I not falling for your tricks 😉
Just one question yes man bobblehead talking hoodie: are you drooling while you post this nonsense?
Yes, thug politics in Honey Brook Township has reached a new level of absurd. I won’t say new low because dude’s knuckles are already scraping the ground.
What we see here is a desperate man controlled by another desperate man and bully, Supervisor Sal DiBloviator. And yes thug life, I can have these opinions on politics. It’s all part of those inalienable rights. (I have to remind them because they forget.)
I also need to remind the thug politics life in Honey Brook Township that I’m not part of any campaign. This is just how I feel on politics in that municipality so yes, I am a horrible person from the other end of the county.
Whatever.
What isn’t whatever however is the fact that they are basically posting photos of people who have Valerie Shultz lawn signs up and why are they doing that? Can it be construed they’re doing that to intimidate residents?
And let’s break down his post a little more he’s talking about some “guy” who is engaging (supposedly) people to vote for Valerie Shultz? He’s talking about a radio show host at WCHE where he was invited to come on and he’s too much of a pussy to do so so he can’t have it both ways can he? Equal time was offered, but the hoodie is running his campaign off of Facebook, and adding the occasional lawn chair event like it’s the pork shop out of the Sopranos, and that’s his choice and comfort level, right?
And umm 🤔 he’s the one obsessing over everything. Debates, because he’s the one whose jaws flap the most about it and he is running the pussy first campaign of literally debating his opponent on Facebook because he is afraid to debate her in public, correct?
Then there is the bizarre thing that even if they want to tell people it’s dangerous to put a polling place in a school when public schools everywhere do it because that’s actually a lie isn’t it?
He talks about being open and for the people yet he wants to keep people who can’t make a meeting from speaking at public comment times on zoom? In spite of the fact it happens every week all over the county and even at county commissioner meetings?
He refers to points his opponent makes as a “manifesto” to try to make it sound bad or dangerous and doesn’t he get he just sounds like a fool? Hey why not just flat out say women who have independent opinions and voices are just bitches? Isn’t that also what is being inferred in this misogynistic guide to local politics l?
And then the attempt with crayon and sidewalk chalk to say a second class township contemplating going from 3 to 5 supervisors is bad for government? In this case it would level the playing field and give more people in the community fair representation and how is that a bad thing if current politicians and government have nothing to hide?
Water always seeks its own level so he for sure has people that think he’s right, however, there are a lot of people who do not and just because they don’t have a Valerie sign on their lawn or are being quiet it doesn’t mean he’s going to get their vote. As a matter of fact, I will take this opportunity to remind every resident of voting age in Honey Brook Township that what you do in the privacy of the voting booth is your business, not theirs. and people who essentially are telling you to vote like they told you are not people you want in office.
If this guy had a backbone and an ounce of independence, I probably never would’ve said anything. If this guy and the people who run him, yes run him, hadn’t started thug politics with this primary I wouldn’t have said anything. But these people are basically just trying to beat you all down into their version of reality.
If Honey Brook Township residents don’t like being treated like they are in a bad adult daycare, stop voting for people who make you feel that way. And that would be this guy and the people who are running him.
For me, writing this post, he will roll up and do another one of his inane videos about the horrible outside. People influencing the community. I’m just expressing my opinion and I’m calling bullshit on them. This guy is not independent. He will never have an independent voice and he’s a current supervisor’s puppet. (I’m really thinking little be-atch, but I don’t want to be rude.)
And this whole thing over lawn signs being dirty politics? Let me break it down without using crayons so they understand. If you own a property in a municipality you can put up a sign for a campaign. That’s your choice.
Now, for the comments on this post:
So I don’t know who this John is, but it sounds like he’s being harassed doesn’t it? Isn’t harassing a private resident in a municipality who’s not running for office just exercising their right to have a lawn sign bad?
And if somebody has a house in the mountains or a house at the beach or a house anywhere that they go to for vacation does that mean they can’t have a lawn sign at their primary residence?
These people are bullies. And they’re getting more desperate every day that goes by because Valerie Shultz presents a real threat to what they perceive is their personal kingdom.
Of course they are now going to make a big deal because I’m talking about them again. But they wanted to be talked about didn’t they? They just wanted to be able to control the narrative. Guess what guys, you have created through your actions a narrative you cannot control now and people are seeing you for what you are actually about.
God don’t like ugly and these are some of the ugliest most disingenuous types I have seen in a while. Local government should not be about fear, retribution, and retaliation.
Wow. I think I will have to actually watch this twice to catch it all but I just finished Spy High. It’s well worth watching and it’s not just because although I had no kids in Lower Merion School district when this occurred, I was still living there. Some of my friends were right in the middle of this and I knew people who had kids in the high schools then.
This was in general a crazy time then. Friends of mine in Ardmore were also fighting redistricting. And the redistricting was insane. Literally they were spreading out minority students. And then of course there was this whole walk zone thing that affected the kids who walked from different places in Ardmore to Lower Merion High School. I swear some of the streets on the “no no” list were literally added because some residents didn’t want kids walking around their neighborhood….even going to school.
So yeah, I wrote about evil spying laptops when it was happening and after the fact. It was one of the creepier things that Lower Merion School District has ever done, and well it’s a long list for creepy things that the school district has done over time. What price first class, right?
So where to begin ? This one random day a man contacts me about the laptop scandal in Lower Merion. He was working on a documentary series about this.
Initially, he kind of wanted to talk to me and maybe did I want to be interviewed since I had blogged about it a lot ? I said thank you for asking, but I didn’t think it would be appropriate because I didn’t have kids in the school district back then I just had friends involved in the issue. And I also no longer lived in Lower Merion. So I offered to connect him to my friends.
So guess what? That was Jody McVeigh-Schultz… the director of “Spy High.” Life is just very random sometimes.
I realize that a lot of people don’t like bloggers and they don’t like me as a blogger in particular, so that was a definite factor as well in me saying no I shouldn’t be interviewed. And it’s not my story personally to be part of and it’s not just the story of Blake Robbins, who was one of the named defendants in one of the lawsuits and a part of this series.
There were a lot of victims in this and I’m glad this series is out now and I hope it’s so many people watch it because Lower Merion School District kind of made this go away in my opinion. The phrase swept this under the rug comes to mind….
There’s one person in particular whom I am glad finally got to tell his story. And he’s the young man whom my friend Lynn (who is also in the series) is very fond of and really good friends with his mother, June. His name is Keron Williams. And also another young man named Jalil Hasan. They both shine through in this series with quiet grace and dignity.
You see, the story always had the Robbins family kind of at the center of it and it’s not just about them. I don’t know them, and after watching this entire series, I am reminded once again at the inequity within this issue even within the financial settlements. How is it that the white student got so much more money than the black students? Especially when you think about the fact that at one of the black students had the same lawyer as the white student?
I have to be honest that the series made me sad as good as it was because you see how kids lost part of their childhood with this. And how this affected their families and community as well.
One thing I was really pleased to see in the series is in my opinion how visually uncomfortable the lawyer for Lower Merion School District was while being interviewed. And of course, Lower Merion School District wanted no parts of being interviewed for this.
I’m not a fan of Lower Merion School District. I have not been for a very long time. There was what I experienced my brief time there at Welsh Valley before going to Shipley, and then there’s just all the crap that they have pulled and tried to pull over the years.
Welsh Valley was really an eye-opening experience as to the mentality of the school district and a lot of the kids. I might be almost 61, but I can still see in my mind‘s eye the penultimate mean girls strolling down the halls in their crotch-splitting tight jeans and Candies flipping their crimped hair. I also will say I don’t think their middle-aged selves are particularly different from their young teen selves at that point. But they were the first ones that taught me that I really was strong and during those years, I did make some wonderful friends I have to this day.
I never understood in the first place why the Lower Merion School District thought it was OK to turn on the cameras. I mean if other Apple products like your phone can be located via a find my phone app, why couldn’t something like that have been used as extra security? Why the cameras? How would turning on a camera tell them where a lost laptop actually was? Did they think it was going to give a screenshot of a street name? 
And what happened to all the thousands of images that existed but disappeared? It is still seriously like they were stalking their own student body? Kids who never did anything wrong were deeply affected, and on certain levels permanently affected by this.
Other things I find astounding are the people still employed by Lower Merion School District who were part of this scandal and debacle who continued with employment by the district after this, some of whom are still employed today by the district? After this went down and the settlements were paid out these people should’ve no longer been working for the school district, yet there they are.
I will admit I was not only sad at the end of this, but I had many mixed emotions watching the entire four parts of the documentary series. Public schools are supposed to look out for the greater good of the students, but are they really doing that any longer, or is it just one big exercise in cover their ass which is kind of what I think happened here in the end.
If you get Amazon Prime I hope you take the time to stream Spy High. And to Lower Merion School District I simply ask what’s it like having the cameras turned on you?
OK, I am going to give you links to some of the past articles on this as well as the current coverage.
Yeah that photo….but wait there are more….West Chester Borough…newer apartment building with “amenities.” I have to ask if trash is counted as an amenity?
Pretty damn gross.
So what would you do?
I would call the Borough of West Chester and Chester County Health Department, if the latter is not too busy screwing over church soup kitchens, right?
Tenants deserve protection and again, pretty gross, right?
Tell me again the fairy tale of how fabulous all these hulking box after box apartments are good for communities, ok?
The above ad keeps floating around on Facebook. So I decided to take the image of the jewelry store you see and put it in a Google image search. Not surprisingly, it is fake.
Laura Smith, Vice Chair of the Towamencin Board of Supervisors in Montgomery County, PA is a rather unfortunate woman who thinks making the Nazi salute on TikTok is funny.
Well now she is an internet star ⭐️
Only her TikTok account laurasmith6036 has seemingly disappeared?
Gosh was it something she said?
Do the Jewish members of the Montgomery County Republican Party approve of this behavior? Do the rest of the Towamencin Board of Supervisors find her behavior acceptable?
Here’s how you can ask them:
I think Laura Smith should take her pathetic nasty ass off of that board and resign, don’t you? I doubt she will but it’s a nice thought.
I don’t understand why anyone with a brain would think that it’s okay to give a mock Nazi salute. I just don’t.
This is not OK.
The media is starting to wake up to this new TikTok star…
What I don’t understand about people like Laura Smith is her candidate of choice was duly elected President of the United States. Why isn’t she happy? Why does she do something so horrible?
She’s now just another elected official who has betrayed the public trust. She is also obviously lacking a moral compass. Hell she should run for Congress and go sit next to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Malvern Borough King St – other side from Flying Pig – a lot has been empty for a few years, and now construction fencing is up and it looks like foundation digging?
It used to be before it was an empty lot, a row of buildings. The buildings at the time were historic to the borough, but they were in such bad shape. They had to come down. I do know that much because I remember when they were torn down, but then at one point pre-COVID it was a giant apartment tower thing proposed and then that idea went nowhere, but did it really?
So someone tells me that there’s another kind of apartment thing in the works. Shops below and like 30 apartments above, so it’s another one of these fairytales of live work play because you know you can afford to work minimum wage in the shop below and rent the overpriced department above, right?
I’m sorry did I sound sarcastic? I meant to sound sarcastic. If it was maybe small like a dozen units and stores I would say OK that will be at least in keeping with probably human scale in the Borough of Malvern.
Here’s hoping Malvern can get it together enough to stay on top of this. They have yet another new manager who came in at the end of 2024 and I hope she realizes Chester County is a different beast from Delaware County. She is a commissioner in Upper Chichester and used to be Manager in Darby Township.
Malvern Borough is one of those places where they try to keep things on the down low, nothing to see here. I am a particular fan at the moment of the Mayor of Malvern Borough who liked a post the other day that was literally bashing me on Facebook. That’s so very professional for a man I’ve never met. And the amusing thing is the post was just because, literally…a woman I had never even ever interacted with.
Yeah Mr. Mayor, I see you. Maybe it’s time to just retire completely?
30 apartments is going to be fairly tall. And Malvern Borough seems to forget the last time they got something they didn’t like called Eastside flats which really aren’t wearing very well are they?
Apparently the development has a lot of variances needed so right now they’re just digging a hole in the ground, which of course is very attractive with the bright orange construction fencing, which really isn’t too hard for kids to get into. I might add.
Oh, and the 30 apartments? 31 bedroom units and if you’ve seen most of the one bedroom apartments being built today, they are very urban style. In other words there’s not too terribly much room for you to even change your mind. Nothing is affordable because God forbid you have affordable units as an affordable housing. It helps create and keep a more transient society, which isn’t good for overall areas because people don’t know the history they don’t care about the history they come and they go depending on the rent increases. Ask people in the Summerhill development in West Whiteland for example, ok?
Of course this evening is the public hearing in East Whiteland that you can zoom or attend in person about the repurposed office building over on Swedesford. It is another live work, play fairytale and it’s 220 units.
You know it would be really nice if these municipalities especially when they are in the same school district would actually work together better on how many development units were coming. Between the municipalities and a couple of school districts you have to wonder when Great Valley School District in particular is going to end up like West Chester Area School District , or Downingtown…or huge. And in the case of Great Valley, it’s kind of like Tredyffrin. Where are they going to put more schools? Oh wait in Tredyffrin they repurposed one of these godforsaken obsolete office parks into plans for a school!
So all the people without reading comprehension are going to just say once again I am anti-development across the board. And that’s not it. I am anti-bad planning and I am anti-ugly developer profit driven cram plans.
Communities need to allow for some development to keep moving forward. The problem in Pennsylvania is it’s too much development because the municipalities planning code hasn’t been updated since 1969.
PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Scott Mason, 66, of Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, was charged by criminal information with wire fraud, securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, and filing false tax returns, arising from two fraudulent schemes that Mason, through his investment advisory firm Rubicon Wealth Management LLC, orchestrated to divert millions of dollars in client funds in order to finance his lavish lifestyle.
The information alleges that between 2016 and 2024, Mason — who had a fiduciary duty to make investment decisions in his clients’ best interests — transferred more than $17 million from 13 Rubicon clients to an entity that he owned and controlled, and ultimately used that money to finance his personal expenditures, including international travel, country club membership dues, credit card bill payments, and the purchase of an ownership stake in a Jersey Shore-based miniature golf course.
The information further alleges that Mason targeted clients with whom he had a longstanding relationship and who trusted him implicitly, including longtime friends and family members, and he often liquidated those clients’ securities holdings in order to finance the fraudulent transfers. Mason allegedly either forged client signatures on distribution authorization forms or omitted all pertinent details of the so-called “investments” when seeking client authorization for the transfers and instead falsely represented that he was investing client funds in diversified short-term bonds.
In reality, as the information alleges, Mason was converting client funds to his own personal use. He also used a portion of the fraud proceeds to repay another Rubicon client from whom Mason had allegedly misappropriated an additional several million dollars dating back to at least 2014, in order to avoid detection by that victim.
Finally, the information alleges that Mason failed to report any of his fraud proceeds on his personal income tax returns, generating a tax loss of approximately $3.225 million.
If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of 80 years’ imprisonment and a fine of $6,760,000.
The case was investigated by the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jessica Rice. In a parallel matter, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced charges against Mason today.
An indictment, information, or criminal complaint is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
SEC Charges Pennsylvania Investment Adviser Scott Mason With Misappropriating More Than $20 Million from Advisory Clients
For Immediate Release
2025-20
Washington D.C., Jan. 17, 2025 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged former Pennsylvania-based investment adviser Scott J. Mason, and his companies Rubicon Wealth Management LLC and Orchard Park Real Estate Holdings LLC, with misappropriating more than $20 million from at least 13 Rubicon advisory clients.
According to the SEC’s complaint, from at least 2014 to 2024, Mason made unauthorized transfers of money from Rubicon clients’ accounts to his own accounts and those of his entities, Rubicon and Orchard Park. As the complaint alleges, Mason used the money for his own purposes, including to pay country club dues, transfer it to other clients, and purchase a portion of a miniature golf course in New Jersey. The complaint further alleges that Mason forged clients’ signatures, made numerous misrepresentations about what he was doing with clients’ money, and concealed his fraud for years by providing fake account statements and tax documents.
“As alleged, Mason’s clients trusted him to invest their money as he said he would but, instead, he repeatedly abused that trust to enrich himself at their expense. He then lied to them and manipulated documents to cover his tracks,” said Nicholas P. Grippo, Regional Director of the SEC’s Philadelphia Regional Office. “This action once again shows the SEC’s commitment to holding advisers accountable when they violate the federal securities laws.”
The SEC’s complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, charges Mason, Rubicon, and Orchard Park with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. Mason, Rubicon, and Orchard Park have consented to the entry of final judgments that permanently enjoin them from committing future violations of those provisions and provides that the court will decide the amounts of disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties at a later date. The settlement is subject to court approval.
In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania today announced criminal charges against Mason.
The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Laura E.L. Gavin, Brian P. Thomas, and Norman P. Ostrove in the SEC’s Philadelphia Regional Office. It was supervised by Scott A. Thompson and Nicholas P. Grippo in the Philadelphia Regional Office. The litigation will be led by Spencer Willig and supervised by Gregory R. Bockin. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the FBI.
Of course it remains to be seen what happens. One thing I find curious is why did the SEC allow him to be his own compliance officer at RubiCON Wealth Management?
So in the brave new world we are entering with a new administration coming to Washington DC next week, how will this all play out? Historically can it be said the SEC is more stringent in republican administrations? Only time will tell. What happens to the wifey? And he was an off campus student housing slumlord up where Hobart William Smith is in Geneva, NY? Is that oddly apropos, considering?
So what happens to the house in Gladwyne? It doesn’t show as for sale on Realtor.com or am I looking in the wrong place?
Grab the popcorn…yet very sad. This guy’s greed has brought shame on his family, right? Who else will come forward with a tale to tell here? I feel truly sorry for his children. Again, didn’t he learn from what his father did when he was growing up? And his father is still alive, isn’t he? Where does he live?
This truly is a cautionary tale. And in the end, greed does not pay.
