POTTSTOWN PA – Three western Montgomery County (PA) organizations – the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation, the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation, and the Schuylkill River Heritage Area – will use a $10,000 donation from L.L. Bean Inc. to support outdoor experiences for elementary and middle school students, the groups announced Wednesday (Sept. 21, 2011).

Local public schools can apply to the foundations to help pay for proposed outdoor activities; the Heritage Area will provide assistance and supervision of the resulting events, its staff writer Laura Catalano said. Ten school districts in the Phoenixville and Pottstown areas, including the Pottsgrove School District, are eligible for what are being called mini-grants.

The money can be used to pay for field trips and programs specifically related to physical activity and outdoor education. It could include activities such as a hike through an area park, biking along the Schuylkill River Trail, or visiting an arboretum. L.L. Bean’s contribution coincides with its opening of a retail store next Friday (Sept. 30) at the King of Prussia Mall.

“When we open a store in a new community we like to engage with local conservation, recreation and education interests to support their promotion of active, healthy lifestyles,” said Janet Wyper, community relations manager for L.L. Bean Inc.

“We are pleased to participate in this partnership, which clearly supports our goal of creating regional recreational opportunities that connect people to the environment so they value and protect it,” said Kurt Zwikl, Heritage Area executive director. Representatives of the foundations also praised and thanked L.L. Bean for its gift.

SANATOGA PA – A nationwide game of “Simon Says” will be played Friday (Sept. 23, 2011) at 12:45 p.m., and The Goddard School child care center, 2074 E. High St., Sanatoga PA, is inviting area children to play along and help the franchise break what it claims is a world record.

Simon says, "Hands on your head"

The game is part of what Goddard Systems schools nationally are calling their “Block Party” event this week to introduce parents to their services.

The schools cater to children between the ages of 1 and 5. Those also happen to be the ages for which the game of Simon Says – during which  kids do what Simon orders, but must sit down if they follow an order not issued by Simon (or the person who portrays him) – holds great appeal. It emphasizes listening skills, among others.

Goddard reports there are more than 400 of its schools across the country, and all are expected to participate in the game. Sanatoga franchisee Ed Shaw believes that will give their efforts a chance to break the current Guinness Book of World Records claim for a Simon Says game.

Area parents and their children are encouraged to attend, and arrive between 15 and 30 minutes early.

Bruce Castor and Jenny Brown

NORRISTOWN PA – Republican candidates for Montgomery County (PA) commissioners in the November general election, Jenny Brown and Bruce Castor, called Wednesday (Sept. 21, 2011) for the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) to publicly release information collected regarding its proposal to impose tolls on U.S. Route 422 from King of Prussia to the Berks County line.

Citing a story written by The Pennsylvania Independent online news service and published Monday (Sept. 19) by The Post and other media outlets, Brown and Castor in a statement criticized DVRPC for what they claimed was a “lack of transparency” in denying right-to-know requests about rail service ridership being considered as part of improvements in the 422 corridor.

At least one group thinks the ridership numbers are inflated, the pair claimed, and “people need to know how the numbers add up,” Castor said. The state Office of Open Records has decided the information should be released; DVRPC is fighting that ruling in Commonwealth Court.

Castor and Brown oppose the prospect of tolling 422, and this week began running electronic billboard advertisements to that effect seen by drivers near the highway’s Oaks interchange.

Is the gambling market over-saturated?

HARRISBURG PA — If Pennsylvania wants to pocket the most money it can from gambling as part of its effort to pay for property tax relief and support the state budget, another casino in Philadelphia might not cut it, The Pennsylvania Independent online news service reported Wednesday.

An economic analysis of legalized gambling locations in Pennsylvania, commissioned by Treasurer Rob McCord, shows the state might be better off building new casinos in Reading, York or Altoona, instead of Philadelphia and Lawrence County where two already licensed parlors have not yet built.

Another casino in Philadelphia would “cannibalize” revenue from those already in or planned for the metropolitan area, according to the analysis. One of those sites is the Valley Forge Casino Resort at the Valley Forge Convention Center, 16 miles east of Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township.

The same report on the state’s casino industry points out that a pair of planned casinos in Ohio would undercut as much as one-third of the potential revenue from a Lawrence County facility.

• Read a story by reporter Eric Boehm, titled “Casino revenue study warns of competition from other states, cannibalization from within” and published Wednesday by The Independent, here.

SANATOGA PA – Although they made no mention of quarries that dot the landscape across Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township, the Board of Commissioners has given unanimous support to an effort by supervisors in Upper Frederick, 7 miles northeast of Sanatoga village, to fight a proposed Pennsylvania Senate bill that would allow quarry surface mining to operate outside local regulations.

Commissioners, during their Sept. 6 meeting, agreed to support opposition to SB898, written by Sen. Robert Tomlinson of Bucks County, which he said would exempt quarries “from the subdivision and land development process which imposes regulations for residential, commercial and industrial development which are not applicable to quarrying.”

It reportedly changes state law to override “all local ordinances and enactments purporting to regulate surface mining.”

Upper Frederick, New Hanover and other nearby townships have expressed concerns that surface mining could damage natural resources and negatively affect government operations without adequate safeguards. Tomlinson contends the Department of Environmental Protection‘s Noncoal Surface Mining Regulations are sufficient.

Upper Frederick’s appeal for support came through regional planners, Lower Pottsgrove Assistant Manager Alyson Elliott said.

New Hanover has been at odds in recent years with a company called Gibraltar Rock in its efforts to open a quarry off Route 73 there. The township’s solicitor claims Tomlinson’s bill seems tailor-made to favor Gibraltar, which is a subsidiary of another firm whose owners have been financial supporters of the senator’s political campaigns, according to one report.

Tomlinson’s bill has been sitting with the Senate Appropriations Committee since May (2011).

Commissioners did not discuss the applicability, or lack of it, to quarries in Lower Pottsgrove. The busiest of those is the Pottstown Trap Rock quarry in Sanatoga, at the intersection of South Sanatoga and Linfield roads, operated by the H&K Group. The Sanatoga quarry is known for “a beautiful rustic red aggregate stone that is used in many construction and landscaping applications,” H&K said.

Presidential Caterers

EAST NORRITON PA – Lower Pottsgrove is throwing a party. Well, actually, it’s just hosting a conference and dinner meeting being thrown by an organization of which the township is a member. Either way, township Board of Commissioners‘ President Jonathan Spadt says, “it’s a cool thing.”

The fall conference of the Montgomery County Association of Township Officials is hosted annually by one of its 40 member-municipalities. This year is Lower Pottsgrove’s turn, and township staff and commissioners alike will be on hand Sept. 30 (2011; Friday) at Presidential Caterers, 2910 Dekalb Pike, East Norriton PA, just northwest of Norristown, to launch the activities.

Spadt, who announced the event during the board’s Sept. 6 meeting, quickly noted there was no added cost to the township to serve as host. “It’s a bit of a feather in our cap, though,” Spadt added. “We’ll get a little recognition on a county-wide level.”

MCATO serves primarily as an advocacy organization for municipal interests locally and statewide. It was founded in 1977 as the Supervisors and Auditors Association of Montgomery County, and was re-named a year later.

SANATOGA PA – A proposal to convert a former doctor’s office at the corner of East High Street and Heritage Drive in Sanatoga village into a beauty salon was recommended for approval Monday (Sept. 19, 2011) by the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Planning Commission to the township Zoning Hearing Board.

The staff at Salon 22

Gilbertsville resident Tracy Heebner, who has operated Salon 22 at 190 Moser Rd., Pottstown PA, since June 2004 is looking to expand her operation, and hopes to relocate into the home once used as offices by Dr. Charles Vickerman at 2135 E. High St., Sanatoga. Vickerman closed his practice there in Spring 2010, and the building has been unoccupied since.

Heebner, who is the salon’s owner and lead stylist, said she can use the building’s added space. She works with a staff of six stylists, a massage therapist, a skin therapist, and several support personnel. She intends to make only interior improvements to the building, and add parking at the rear of the property, she told planning commissioners.

Traffic flow into the property also will be changed slightly, she explained. A driveway on its east side, which previously was used as both an entrance and exit, in the future would serve as a one-way entrance only. Patrons would exit to Heritage Drive through an alley at the rear. Landscaping features will be added, and a storm water retention facility installed.

“I don’t have any problems with what I see,” board Chairman Frank Cebular said. His colleagues agreed, and decided unanimously to recommend Heebner’s plans for zoning board approval.

Heebner petitioned the zoning board for permission to forego the need of a Historic Building Impact Study, because there are no changes proposed for the building exterior; allow 14 new parking spaces in the rear yard; and operate the salon as a special exception use within the districts. The zoners’ hearing was scheduled for Tuesday (Sept. 20).

Sign on the door

SANATOGA PA – The unavailability of Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township commissioners – word is, a few will be out of town – has caused this week’s Board of Commissioners’ meeting to be canceled and re-scheduled. So, too, a meeting for next month.

A sign taped to the door Tuesday (Sept. 19, 2011) of the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA, announced the board meeting for this Thursday (Sept. 22) had been canceled and re-scheduled for next Wednesday (Sept. 28) at 7 p.m.

Similarly, the commissioners’ second meeting of next month, originally planned for Oct. 20, has been re-scheduled for Oct. 24 (Monday).

The announcement bore the signature of township Manager Rodney Hawthorne. Although he was unavailable when the sign was seen Tuesday, participants at that night’s Planning Board meeting said the potential for a lack of a quorum was the cause for both date changes.

The re-scheduled meetings will begin at 7 p.m., also in the municipal building.

POTTSTOWN PA – One hundred thirty-three supplemental positions and corresponding payments for sports coaches, their assistants, and other duty service providers in the Pottsgrove School District were approved during the past two meetings (last Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2011; and Aug. 23) of the district Board of School Directors.
