YEADON, Pa. - The Yeadon Borough Council will reconvene on Thursday to discuss the future of embattled police chief Anthony ‘Chachi’ Paparo a week after he was granted a due process hearing to defend accusations of overspending.

Paparo, who has led the Yeadon Borough Police Department for five years, claims that the newly-elected council members want to oust him because he is white.

He recently turned down a three-month severance package in a meeting with Yeadon Mayor Rohan K. Hepkins and Borough Council President Sharon Council-Harris.He expected to be fired during last week's meeting, but an outpouring of support from the community forced the council to grant a due process hearing after two recesses.

Council-Harris has vehemently denied Paparo's accusations of racism, calling them "unbelievable and outrageous." She said that Paparo's future is in question for violating a Fraternal Order of Police contract clause with years of overspending."Chief Paparo was responsible for two consecutive years of violating FOP contract clause by providing over hours to part-timers to the tune of $387,000 grievance and fine," Council-Harris said. "So that is really the heart of this issue."RELATED HEADLINES: During last week's meeting, the council displayed a lottery-style check for $387k with "The Yeadon Taxpayers" in the signature line and "Missmanaged overtime" in the memo section.

Canada will scrap pre-arrival COVID-19 testing rule for vaccinated travellers April 1
COVID-19 testing requirement for fully vaccinated travellers, the federal government announced on Thursday.Starting April 1, vaccinated travellers won’t need to track down a COVID-19 test in the last day before their vacation ends.“Today’s announcement is encouraging, but let us remember that all measures are subject to review,” said Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, speaking to reporters Thursday morning.“We will continue to adjust them as the epidemiological situation here in Canada and abroad evolves.”Currently, all travellers entering Canada — regardless of vaccination status — have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen test, taken within 24 hours of their flight or arrival at Canada’s border.As an alternative, they can show proof of a negative PCR test from within the previous 72 hours. Is Canada dropping its COVID-19 guard too quickly? Experts weigh in But starting next month, travellers who are fully vaccinated — with two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine — won’t have to show either.Fully vaccinated travellers might still have to undergo random testing when they arrive in Canada, but they don’t have to quarantine while awaiting their results, Duclos added.Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated travellers will be subject to a molecular test both when they arrive and again eight days later.
