SANATOGA PA – Weekend (Feb. 21-22, 2009) jottings from a reporter’s notebook, in no particular order:
Breaking Fast
Spotted Saturday (Feb. 21, 2009) having breakfast at Shorty’s Cafe in Pottstown PA: those “spouses selling houses,” Realtors David and Diane Delong, and Freedom Valley YMCA Pottstown branch director Joan Daly.
He Knows What’s Important
After a representative of Verizon talked Thursday (Feb. 19, 2009) about his company’s impending introduction of its FiOS-branded television services in Lower Pottsgrove, township Board of Commissioners’ Vice President Jonathan Spadt beamed with satisfaction. “That’ll certainly make my wife happy,” he said. “She’s been wondering when you’d finally get here.”
Now That’s Dedication
Members of a local Brownie troop were out selling Girl Scout cookies Saturday morning, and “out” is a literal description.
They sat, bundled and shivering against the cold, at a table in the parking lot of the Hess gas station and Dunkin’ Donut shop on Route 100 south in North Coventry PA. They made a valiant effort to keep boxes of cookies on top of the table, but gusts of wind kept blowing them off.
A Quiet, New Appointment
Carolyn Brunschwyler, formerly director of development at Community Health and Dental Care (CHDC), 11 Robinson St., Pottstown PA has been quietly promoted as its interim executive director. She succeeds Kathleen Wierz, who abruptly left the director’s position about two weeks ago. CHDC, which opened just five months ago, has not yet formally announced Brunschwyler’s appointment; it simply appeared on its website last week.
A number of Lower Pottsgrove residents have begun to rely on CHDC for affordable health care services, which are priced in part on a scale that’s adjusted to a family’s income.
He Means Business
Sometimes the direct approach is the best approach. One tradesman looking for work stapled a paper plea to a telephone pole on Route 30 East in Exton PA. “Hungry Electrician,” it proclaimed, and gave a phone number.
