Jason Kelce overcame opposition from neighbors to keep adding to his Pennsylvania compound

Jason Kelce is trying to build another home on his Haverford, Pennsylvania estate.
Neighbors were concerned that construction could lead to a higher chance of flooding in the area.
Kelce also got permission to add a fence for “unique” security concerns.

Super Bowl champ Jason Kelce recently faced some new opponents: his neighbors.

In 2018, the former NFL offensive lineman started buying neighboring properties in Haverford, Pennsylvania, an upscale suburb of Philadelphia. During a February 20 Haverford Township zoning board meeting, Kelce answered questions about his application to disturb the slopes on his property to build a fourth home and add a fence to his now 10-acre estate.

At least one Haverford resident said in the hearing that they worried changing the inclines on Kelce’s property would change the water runoff patterns and lead to flooding of neighboring properties.

Kelce left the meeting with a win: approval from the board. Kelce — who played all 13 seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles and now has a hit podcast with his NFL star brother Travis — and his wife Kylie Kelce have three daughters five and under with another girl on the way.

Other celebrities trying to develop their properties have butted heads with neighbors. Take Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who the Daily Mail was first to report irked some English neighbors after buying a home in the bucolic Cotswolds region. According to minutes from the local government cited by the Independent, parish councilors feared that an addition and a fence the couple were adding to their property would increase the risk of local flooding and possibly endanger historic Roman ruins. The council ultimately found the work was done well and deemed the ruins safe.

While Kelce’s plans faced some opponents, he overcame them relatively smoothly.

Kelce and his lawyer Ji Min Jun, who was present at the meeting, could not be reached for additional comment.

The Kelces started buying up property in Haverford in 2018

Delaware County, Pennsylvania, records show Kelce bought his first piece of land in Haverford, a 1-acre property with a four-bedroom home already on it, for $680,000 in 2018. He bought a neighboring property in 2020 for $3.96 million and another one for $1.35 million in 2023.

Haverford, known in part for the small liberal arts college named for it, has a population of about 50,000.

Kelce, his lawyer, and his civil engineer appeared at the February 20 zoning meeting to explain more about what the Kelces wanted to do on the property.

Adding a fence would “deter a little bit of the foot traffic coming in and out of the home,” Kelce said at the meeting.

Building a fence and an additional home would, however, “disturb steep slopes” on the property, Jun said.

Neighbor Wendy De La Rosa stepped forward to find out more about how changing the slopes would affect flooding in the neighborhood.

“That whole area does have issues with water runoff,” she said. “Especially if there’s not going to be any mitigation during the construction period, we want to understand so there’s no flooding in the backyard for our kid.”

Timothy Davis, a civil engineer for the project, quelled concerns about increased runoff by arguing that the construction should result in better water collection than before.

The board approved the zoning variance for the Kelces to continue working on their fourth home, and board member William Rhodes added the condition that “all stormwater runoff shall be managed by the applicant so as not to adversely affect any neighboring property.”

At the meeting, Jun also said that a home on one of the properties has already been demolished, and construction on the new house has begun. The fence was also approved.

Pennsylvania man charged in son’s death years after abusing him as infant, police say

An Allentown, Pennsylvania, man was charged in his son’s death after he died from injuries suffered in 2012, more than 10 years later, officials said.

The Bensalem Township Police Department arrested and charged Kyle Hinkle, 38, with criminal homicide in connection with the death of his son, who initially suffered the injuries when he was an infant in 2012. He was also charged with third-degree murder, police said.

Hinkle was charged with abusing his son when he was an infant in 2012, when he lived in Bensalem, Bucks County.

In October 2012, police said Hinke’s 3-month-old infant son was diagnosed with bleeding in the brain and retinal hemorrhages. The 3-month-old was eventually taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia to be treated, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit. A child protection program doctor said the injuries were caused by “significant force consistent with abusive head trauma.”

Hinkle later admitted to the abuse and said that he shook his son multiple times on Oct. 12, 2012, saying he was unable to stop the child from crying, and he didn’t support the 3-month-old’s head. Hinkle was charged with aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children and simple assault. He pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to two years in prison, with an additional three years of supervised parole/probation.

In August 2024, Bensalem police said that Pennsylvania State Police told them that Hinkle’s son died at the age of 11 in Westmoreland County. An autopsy revealed his cause of death was due to complications of blunt force trauma in the 2012 case.

Hinkle was taken into custody by police at his workplace in Allentown Monday. He was arraigned and is being held on $2 million bail.

Hundreds of stuffed toys to find home through Holiday Wish Program

Hundreds of stuffed toys to find home through Holiday Wish Program

The state Department of Human Services’ Holiday Wish Program got a boost after the donation of more than 1,000 stuffed toys.

Those stuffed toys are samples of those for sale in Pennsylvania that were deemed safe for children this past year by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry following routine safety inspections.

The samples are accumulated by the department throughout the year and then marked for distribution through the state Department of Human Services’ Holiday Wish Program.

“This annual tradition reminds us of what public service is truly about: protecting people’s safety while spreading hope and joy to families across Pennsylvania,” said Labor and Industry Secretary Nancy A. Walker. “In times that can feel especially heavy, small acts of generosity can make a big difference.”

Under state law, Labor and Industry’s Bureau of Occupational and Industrial Safety must inspect all new stuffed toy samples for contents, choking hazards, and general safety.

Toys that pass inspection get a registration number, which is on every stuffed toy sold in the commonwealth.

Through this process, Labor and Industry accumulates hundreds of toy samples each year. This year, the department delivered a record 1,085 stuffed toys to the Department of Human Services DHS for its Holiday Wish program — a 45 percent increase from last year’s 749 donated.

Of the donated toys, more than 50 are made of recycled materials. Last year, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an updated Stuffed Toy Manufacturing Act, eliminating a long-standing ban on using recycled materials in stuffed toys sold in the commonwealth.

Started in 1989 by Department of Human Services employees, the Holiday Wish program has grown to include hundreds of employees in various state agencies, allowing the program to reach thousands of individuals in need around Pennsylvania during the holiday season.
