The Lions Club, which raises money for charities, operated a flea market in downtown Chester for many years until the mid-1990s. The club then ran the market in downtown Dover for a few years but eventually gave it up. In a phone interview Wednesday, Borough Council President Robert Davis cited' the Lions' contributions of scholarships, ambulances and defibrillators, and applauded the STORY club's donation of time and money to the community. Should their market return, the borough could get about $75,000 in fees, which is relatively small com -'V J- -v. sim tn 1 "'Hi- last one.

It means everything." Junior Danny Straub, 16, who along with seniors Tim Taylor, 18, and Paige Tarrant, 17, the band's drum majors, said the marchers had the key elements of the performance down cold. It was simply a matter of refining the little things to perfect the routine. Matt Manochio: 973-428-6627; S3 By DOMENICK S. REDA SPECIAL TO THE DAILY RECORD CHESTER TWP. The Chester Lions Club is interested in returning its flea market to Chester Borough and some in both municipalities are worried about the traffic such a move could bring, while others say it could boost downtown business.

A few borough residents, who said they also had attended a borough council meeting, were at Tuesday's township council meeting to voice concerns. "Residents in my area are very concerned about this," borough resident Char-lene Arrington said. "Are the council and the township willing to take up this cause?" The Lions Club would run the flea market on the former Lucent property, now owned by the borough, on North Road near the Chester First Aid Squad. The borough purchased the Lucent property earlier this year for $5.7 million. Township Council member Brian Murphy, who also serves on the merger committee comprised of township and borough officials, said the flea market would have 100 to 150 vendors initially, with up to 350 eventually.

"There is clearly quality of life issues and all kinds of public safety issues," Murphy said. Murphy said the Lions Club is seeking a 10-year lease of the borough-owned land. The proposal would allow the flea market to operate next year, every Sunday from 9 a.m. $10 Coupon Expires 113009 Must Prasent Coupon At Time of Purchase 150 Gal. Minimum Automatic Delivery!

The band won its first national championship Nov. 8. "We just really wanted to have a good show," Pessolano, who plays alto saxophone, said. She said Nichols doesn't overemphasize the importance of winning, "so it was a matter of walking off the field with no regrets." Kelsey Zenna, 17, who plays trumpet, said that performance also- was the last one for her fellow seniors before graduation, and that played a part in the victory.

"The while band always comes together for the last show," she said. "It's the By MATT MANOCHIO STAFF WRITER ROXBURY Andrea Pes-solano never envisioned the Roxbury High School marching band would be national champions when she was a freshman. "I never thought we would go and I never thought we would win," Pessolano, 17, a senior, said at the school Tuesday of her outlook four years ago. She said the band then was good, but nowhere near the caliber needed to compete nationally. Something happened over those four years because Roxbury not only entered its first national contest the United States Scholastic Band Association National Championship in Annapolis, at the Naval Academy but won the whole shebang on Nov.

8. Not only did the 150-member marching band win the national title, but it took individual awards for best music, best effect and best color guard. Band director Todd Nichols said Roxbury bested 95 other schools from 12 states. Nichols, who's directed Roxbury for six years, said the highest previous award won by the band came in 2007, when it won a state and eastern region title. He attributed this year's big win to the "combination of their work ethic and the difficulty of the show." He said the students are judged on musical and visual performances on both individual and ensemble standpoints.

Also judged are the color guard and percussion section. li UVVU U(V c. Prce Expiree 12809 I CHAT pared to the potential gain from the success of the business community, Davis said. "This would be the potential marketing weapon of the whole business arsenal," he said. Economic woes have resulted in a high vacancy rate for the borough's downtown business district.

According to Davis, the business community provides about one-third of the tax revenue to the borough. The possibility of increasing the volume of people to the area, as evidenced during craft fairs and special events, would be a boon to the merchants, he said.
