POTTSTOWN PA – As parents of Pottsgrove High School students filled Rader Auditorium last night (Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010) during an annual back-to-school event, Principal Chris Shaffer warned that one of the greatest dangers their children faced was lurking in their family medicine cabinet. “Prescription drugs. Big, big problem,” Schaffer said, “and we want to make sure we’re talking to our kids about them.”

Abuse of drugs legally prescribed for others poses “an unacceptable risk to public health and safety,” the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agrees. “Rates of prescription drug abuse … are increasing at alarming rates, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show a majority … are obtained from family and friends,” it reported last month.

That’s why the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Police Department will join other law enforcement agencies across the country next Saturday (Sept. 25, 2010) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the “National Take-Back Initiative,” during which anyone can drop off unused or unwanted prescription medicines at the police station, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA, “with no questions asked,” Police Chief Michael Shade announced.

• This event has been added to The Post calendar.

Shade, who introduced the program last week during the Board of Commissioners’ meeting, urged public participation. The service is free, he noted, and anonymity is assured. Visitors will not be asked to identify themselves, what the drugs are, where they came from, or how they were obtained; in fact, Shade indicated, he’s not interested in any detail. His first concern, he told commissioners, was to keep the medicines away from potential abusers.

Other area agencies participating in the initiative and their drop-off sites, according to the DEA, include:

• New Hanover Township Police Department, Municipal Building, 2943 N. Charlotte St., Gilbertsville PA;
• Pennsylvania State Police, Skippack Barracks, 2047-C Bridge Rd., Schwenksville PA;
• Limerick Township Police Department, Manderach Park, 50 Ziegler Rd., Royersford PA;
• Lower Frederick Township Police, Municipal Building, 53 Spring Mount Rd., Zieglerville PA;
• Phoenixville Police Department, Borough Hall, 140 Church St., Phoenixville PA; and
• Upper Providence Township Police, Department Headquarters, 1286 Black Rock Rd., Oaks PA.

To find other collection sites by zip code or municipality searches, check here.

Prescription and over-the-counter, solid dosage medications such as tablets and capsules  will be accepted, but not intra-venous solutions, injectables, or needles. Also, illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamines are not a part of the initiative. Materials collected by the departments will be destroyed under controlled and secure conditions, the DEA said.

POTTSTOWN PA – Pottsgrove School District administrators announced Pottsgrove High School was locked down early Wednesday morning (Sept. 15, 2010), and its students were kept inside the building, as Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township police responded to what reportedly began as a domestic assault on Ivy Lane and later turned into a crash-ridden chase that ended in Collegeville PA.

Pottsgrove High School, Kauffman Road, as seen from the north.

A notice posted on several pages of the district website reported the lock-down was prompted by first an assault at a home; followed by the alleged theft of a car and a subsequent accident at Buchert Road and North Keim Street. Other reports said those incidents were followed by the alleged theft of a second vehicle, a subsequent chase down Ridge Pike into Lower Providence (PA) Township and Collegeville, and at least one other accident.

The male suspect, who was identified late Wednesday as Jason William Pollock, ultimately was arrested by Collegeville police after a short chase on foot. He was taken to a medical facility for treatment of his injuries, and later was jailed on multiple charges at $500,000 bail.

The 7:30 a.m. lock-down was lifted about 90 minutes later when, as the district notice said, Pottsgrove had received “confirmation of the location and capture of the suspects.”

Lower Pottsgrove and Ringing Rocks elementary schools – the former located on Buchert Road, and the latter temporarily on North Keim Street – both were in areas that normally would also have been affected by the lock-down order, according to the district. However, both opened later than the high school and after the police action ended.

All three schools either began or resumed “a normal schedule” shortly after, the district notice declared.

SANATOGA PA – From the way Bruce Foltz says things are going with lawn mower clippings in Sanatoga village, maybe a summer drought isn’t so bad.

Ready to create havoc on Hause Avenue.

Foltz, vice president of the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners, continued last week (Sept. 7, 2010) to hunt for some form of legal enforcement against a Hause Avenue property owner who, he claimed, has created a neighborhood annoyance by “turning the street green” with clippings blown there from the discharge chute of his lawn mower.

Foltz first raised the clippings issue during the board’s Aug. 2 meeting, saying he’d heard about it from plenty of angry residents. The offensive neighbor was approached by township officials, who asked him to be more considerate. That didn’t help.

There’s gotta be a law against this, Foltz assumed last month, looking for a way to force a resolution. Turns out, there’s not. Or at least, not yet.

At the time, Foltz speculated the clippings created a potential pollution problem by clogging curbside storm sewers. Following up on his request, township staff apparently did some research and concluded that seemingly applicable laws covered “snow and ice, but not trash and debris,” according to township engineering representative Chad Camburn of Bursich Associates, who reported last week to the board during its meeting in the municipal building.

Then maybe there should be a law, Foltz mused.

He publicly asked the staff to do some more checking (they said they would) and suggested if they found nothing else then possibly the commissioners could consider an ordinance banning such mowing behavior. None of the other board members present – President Jonathan Spadt, Michael McGroarty, or James Kaiser – said anything.

A significant lack of rainfall in recent weeks has created drought conditions and grass fire hazards across portions of the Northeastern United States, including parts of the Greater Philadelphia area, weather forecasters say. Consequently, grass isn’t growing too quickly anywhere … even on Hause Avenue.

KING OF PRUSSIA PA – Mission accomplished, or at least one part of it.

Federal stimulus funds paid the 422 repair bill.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) office in King of Prussia officially declared itself done Monday (Sept. 13, 2010) with 4-1/2 miles of U.S. Route 422 rehabilitation between its Route 29 (Collegeville-Phoenixville) and Royersford interchanges, paid for by $13.2 million in federal economic stimulus funding.

Route 422 carries 62,000 vehicles a day between the Collegeville and Royersford exits.  Construction crews worked since May 2009 to improve the deteriorated stretch of 422 by replacing aging and cracked concrete from the highway, and repaving the concrete pavement with a new asphalt surface.

Improvements also included resurfacing ramps at both interchanges; repairing 12 bridges; installing safety rumble strips; cleaning existing pipe culverts; and installing new guide rail, reflective pavement markers, and Intelligent Transportation System conduit.

The reconstructed portion of highway, built during the early 1970s, has four 12-foot wide travel lanes plus a 10-foot wide outside shoulder and an 8-foot wide inside shoulder. The project covered Route 422 from a half-mile east of Route 29 to 1,500 feet west of Royersford, across Upper Providence and Limerick townships.

Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Pa. was the general contractor.

The stimulus money was part of the multi-billion dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Across the five-county Philadelphia region, PennDOT said it is investing $257.7 million of stimulus funds on 30 transportation projects, including road and bridge improvements, Intelligent Transportation System installations, traffic signal upgrades, multi-use trails, and curb ramp replacements. PennDOT has awarded all 30 transportation economic recovery projects in the region; 29 of those have moved to construction, and 13 have been completed.

SANATOGA PA – Sharpen those pencils. Bring in the scratch pads; and the Excedrin, while you’re at it. The municipal budget’s back in town.

Members of the budget committee of the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Board of Commissioners have announced they will meet over a period of three days during this month and October “to conduct business related to the township’s 2011 budget,” according to an advertisement published this morning (Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010) in The (Pottstown PA) Mercury newspaper, Lower Pottsgrove‘s publication of record for legal notices.

The committee regularly consists of Commissioner James Phillips, business development officer at The Victory Bank in Limerick PA; Commissioner James Kaiser, a comptroller with Bentley Systems Inc. in Exton PA; and other members of the board as needed. Its scheduled meeting dates are next Tuesday (Sept. 21) as well as Oct. 5 and 20, all at 4:30 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA.

• This event has been added to The Post calendar.

It is anticipated the meetings will be open to the public.

The pencils, notepaper and headache pain reliever usually are in ample supply each fall, as committee members work with the township staff to draw up a spending proposal for the next year that meets Lower Pottsgrove’s operational needs but has a minimal impact on taxpayers.

To accomplish those goals during the past two years of economic problems and declining revenues, the township has increasingly relied on withdrawals from a form of savings account called its fund balance. The task of keeping a few hundred thousand dollars in the fund balance, which demonstrates good fiscal management, while pursuing every politician’s desire to proclaim “no tax increase this year” is a juggling act the budget committee attempts to master.

Today’s advertisement also puts individuals and groups on notice that, if they want Lower Pottsgrove to consider funding or project requests, now’s the time to submit them. Several organizations – the Pottstown Regional Public Library, the Lower Pottsgrove Historical Society, the Pottstown Area Senior Center, and the Visiting Nurse Association of Pottstown and Vicinity – all have been recipients of township funds in years past, and may be again.

SANATOGA PA – The Federal Bureau of Investigation wants to meet with Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township police Lt. Michael Foltz … and his chief last week said that’s a good thing.

FBI National Academy in Virginia.

Foltz is the second township law enforcement representative selected in recent years by the FBI to participate in its prestigious National Academy in Quantico VA. A letter from Special Agent and National Academy Coordinator Gerard O’Callaghan, inviting Foltz to attend, was received Aug. 31 by Chief Michael Shade.

Foltz will train with the FBI from Jan. 9-March 18, 2011. Shade himself attended similar training in 2008.

“It’s quite an honor, and it tells you how good Mike is,” the chief said of Foltz during the township Board of Commissioners‘ meeting Sept. 7 in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA. “He’s got the qualifications they (the FBI) are always looking for,” Shade noted.

In other, unrelated police department news:

• The board unanimously approved Shade’s request to make a conditional offer of employment to James Kenney to become Lower Pottsgrove’s newest police officer. He would succeed Ofc. Alan Edlund, who recently retired. Kenney’s name topped a list of officer candidates chosen last month by the township Civil Service Commission. The offer is conditioned upon Kenney’s passage of department-required tests.

• Shade also won board approval to have township Solicitor R. Kurtz Holloway review a proposed procedure for adding fire police officers to the ranks of the Sanatoga and Ringing Hill fire companies. The policy covers a variety of checks and requirements, including background investigations, Shade said. The policy will be considered for board adoption following Holloway’s review.

Michael Katzenmoyer, left, Pottsgrove School District's director of facilities and physical plants, fits a hard hat atop the head of a Ringing Rocks Elementary School student who joined in Thursday's ground-breaking event.

POTTSTOWN PA – Administrators, faculty members and students alike celebrated last Thursday afternoon (Sept. 9, 2010) as ground was officially broken for the renovation and expansion of the Pottsgrove School District’s Ringing Rocks Elementary School, 1401 Kauffman Rd., Pottstown PA. Contractors started some of the work almost two weeks ago, but tossing aside a silver-plated shovelful of dirt usually adds a final touch to the end of a long planning process.

Conducting earth-moving duties, above, on behalf of the district administration were, from left, Superintendent Dr. Bradley Landis, Business Administrator David Nester, Assistant Superintendent Shellie Feola, school board members Philip Keogh, Patricia Grimm, and David Faulkner, and Director of Facilities and Physical Plants Michael Katzenmoyer. A team of school pupils, below, led by Ringing Rocks Principal Michelle Bozzini, left, repeated the effort.

Then as Bozzini gave an interview to a local television crew, bottom right, a young student – shovel and hard hat in hand – made his way back to his classroom and the joy of learning. During the renovations, Ringing Rocks students and teachers are housed at the former St. Pius X High School building on North Keim Street, Pottstown. Three teachers there separately have confirmed the nickname staff members have given to their temporary quarters: they call it “Saint Rocks.”
