WEST CHESTER, PA — The Chester County District Attorney's Office issued its weekly update covering three recent events. A 20-year-old Downingtown man, Ahmad Al-Azzam, was sentenced to 8.5 to 17 years in state prison for a 2024 home-invasion assault on a 73-year-old man that he filmed and posted online, claiming without evidence that his victim was a child predator. On the same day, West Chester East High School held a mock crash simulation ahead of prom weekend to warn students about impaired and distracted driving. The office also noted the Crime Victims' Center of Chester County's 33rd annual Candlelight Vigil on April 9 in Downingtown, which honored victims of violent crime and fallen officers.

CALN TWP — Caln Township's Parks and Recreation Department has announced the return of its popular Summer Series, with this year's programming built around America's 250th anniversary. Two patriotic-themed films anchor the calendar: "National Treasure," the Nicolas Cage adventure about a hidden Founding Fathers-era fortune, which will screen on July 18, and "Newsies," the Disney musical inspired by the 1899 New York newsboys' strike, set for August 15. Organizers will host a themed activity before each showing and are urging residents to arrive early so they do not miss the warm-up programming.

Between the two film nights, the township will host National Night Out on August 4. The event will feature a lineup of free activities for all ages, along with a musical performance by Chico's Vibe LLC. Together, the three evenings are intended to give residents a full slate of free, family-friendly summer entertainment while marking the country's semiquincentennial.

EAST BRANDYWINE TWP — The annual "Fore the Park" Golf Outing returns on Wednesday, May 20, at the Honey Brook Golf Club in support of East Brandywine Parks. The scramble-format event features an 8 a.m. shotgun start and noon lunch, with prizes for longest drive, closest-to-the-pin and top foursome. Registration is $150 per person and includes greens fees, driving range, lunch, a goodie bag, snacks and beverages. Sponsorship and door prize donations are also being accepted. Info and registration can be found online here.

EXTON, PA — A couple local townships are holding spring cleanup events this weekend, offering residents a range of ways to get outside and give back to their communities.
