Exeter Examiner Stories

Chairman of the Exeter Board of Supervisors George Bell adjourned the November 14th meeting before the agenda was completed, presumably so he didn’t have to hear criticism from fellow Supervisor David Hughes. 

 The Exeter Eagles (11-0, 6-0)rode their hearty defense and the arm of quarterback Mason Rotelli to a 42-12 victory over the Dover Area Eagles (9-3, 5-1) in the state quarterfinal football playoffs on Saturday night.

A dual meeting and light agenda had the Exeter school board at home in time for the first pitch of Game 4 of the World Series. 

There are naysayers out there who questioned the Exeter Eagles (6-0, 10-0) strength of schedule, and questioned their toughness in the big game. Well, THAT little piece of nonsense has been squashed.

The long awaited and much ballyhooed comprehensive forensic audit of township finances is complete, and the Exeter Township Supervisors got the report last night.

On Senior Night, the Exeter Eagles turned to the seniors to get it done. Led by Joey Schlaffer, Anthony Caccese, and Richie Karstien (among others), Exeter (5-0, 9-0) worked hard to overcome a couple of hiccups to defeat Conestoga Valley (2-3, 4-5) 38-10.

 In yet ANOTHER shameful stain on Exeter Township government, they have refused to supply information requested concerning public meetings.

 In a stunning reversal of what looked like a sure thing, the Exeter school board voted 5-4 against installing solar arrays on district property, with members Jason Mell and Tim Morgan joining the three “none” votes from the COW meeting of John Fidler, Bob Quinter, and Andrea Battler. 

When I talked to people this week about Friday night’s game, the conversation would usually start with, “Well…..”, in a sign of apprehension. Lots of talk about “trap game” was thrown about. The Exeter Eagles (8-0) did NOT fall into “the trap”. 

A defensive masterpiece of a game was played Friday night by the Exeter Eagles (4-0, 7-0) on the way to a 42-8 triumph over the Muhlenberg Muhls.
