POTTSTOWN PA – Tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2010) could be a day of nervous anticipation, sweaty palms and dry mouths among members of the Pottsgrove High School sophomore class. Instead, Principal Chris Shaffer will happily bet that confidence trumps those symptoms, as the 360 sophomores face their chance to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT).

Pottsgrove High School sophomores will take the PSATs on Wednesday.

The PSATs are a dry-run (that’s why they’re labeled “preliminary”) in taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) as juniors. For many colleges and universities, SAT scores are a determining factor in whether they accept or decline a student’s application for admission. Doing well on the SATs is a big deal in the future of students who hope for more than a high school diploma.

That’s why every Pottsgrove sophomore in attendance is being required to take the PSAT, which will be administered Wednesday morning between 7:35 and 9:45. Although the test fee is $13 per student, not one of them will pay a dime: the entire $4,680 cost is being paid by the school district, Superintendent Dr. Bradley Landis told the Board of School Directors late last month.

• Directors also are scheduled to meet tonight (Tuesday, Oct. 12) at 7:30 p.m. in Lower Pottsgrove Elementary School, 1329 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA. The meeting is open to the public. Although an agenda was not yet available early this morning, once published it usually can be downloaded here.

“Kids who take the PSATs earlier tend to do better on the SATs later,” Landis explained during the board’s Sept. 28 meeting, “so it’s important to give them the testing experience. Our goal is to improve their SAT scores next year.”

In addition to the sophomores, Shaffer said, 110 juniors also will take the test. The juniors are likely to take the follow-up SATs in December 2010, or January or March 2011.

The PSATs have topped to-do lists of many Pottsgrove High students since this year’s opening day, when Shaffer announced to them – and later to their parents at the school’s open house – that taking the test was a must for sophomores. Students have taken several steps to prepare, and “we know they’ll do just fine,” Shaffer told the open house crowd Sept. 15 in the high school auditorium.

Administering the test will mean other, one-day changes Wednesday for all 9th, 11th, and 12th grade students not participating in the PSATs. To ensure the halls are quiet and sophomores have no interruptions during testing, the high school for them will operate on a two-hour delay schedule.

More information about the delay, and logistics for getting students to and from classes at Montgomery County Community College, Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, and the Western Montgomery Career and Technology Center in Limerick PA, are being posted on the high school website, Shaffer said.

POTTSTOWN PA – Lower Pottsgrove’s political leaders now have two of three 2011 budget meetings behind them, having been scheduled to meet Tuesday (Oct. 5, 2010) and last month (Sept. 21) to discuss next year’s potential spending plan. So how are things shaping up? They’re about what you’d expect in a still-faltering economy, township Commissioner James Kaiser volunteered Monday night (Oct. 4); OK, but not great.

Kaiser’s assessment was in response to questions posed by township resident and Planning Commissioner member William Wolfgang, during the Board of Commissioners’ meeting in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown. “Are we on track with this year’s budget?,” Wolfgang asked. “Where do we stand for next year?”

“OK” answered the first. “Not great,” the second.

“Clearly the revenues are down,” said Kaiser, who handles financial matters for an Exton software company and also serves on the board budget committee. “And expenses are trending about the same as expected,” he added. “Our problem is that a lot of our costs are fixed.”

Not irreparably so, township Manager Rodney Hawthorne chimed in. “We’re hurting somewhat in revenues; everyone is,” Hawthorne noted. As it has in years’ past, he added, the township staff has eked out economies and reduced spending where it could. Through three quarters of the year so far, he indicated, the budget is generally in line with start-of-the-year forecasts.

No one offered to predict what’s ahead, however. Commissioners have hinted in the past that this was another year in which a tax increase – no matter how slight – would be unpalatable and, for some property owners, even unmanageable. To make up for lost revenue it is possible commissioners will dip once again, as they did during 2010, into the township’s fund balance – its savings account – for a financial boost.

The board budget committee’s last meeting is scheduled for Oct. 20 (Wednesday) at 4:30 p.m. in the municipal building. It is open to the public.

He accepted his oath of office, administered by Lower Pottsgrove resident and Magisterial District Justice Edward Kropp, left, as his grandfather, Robert Curran of Havertown PA, held the Bible on which Kenney rested his hand. Only minutes before, once Police Chief Michael Shade certified Kenney had passed applicable psychological and physical tests, the township Board of Commissioners gave its unanimous approval to the officer’s employment. He succeeds Ofc. Alan Edlund, who recently retired. Other members of Kenney’s family, and several other department officers, were on hand in the board meeting room at the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA, to witness the ceremony and welcome Kenney to the force.

POTTSTOWN PA – Fill ‘er up.

Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township employees get to do that themselves, from a diesel fuel pump at the municipal garage on North Pleasant View Road, whenever their trucks’ gauges point to empty. They’ll likely be able to continue to do so after tonight (Monday, Oct. 4, 2010), when the Board of Commissioners meets at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA.

• This event has been added to The Post calendar.

The board’s meeting agenda was not available for download early this morning from the township website, so as of that time it was unknown specifically what Lower Pottsgrove business commissioners would be asked to consider. When an agenda is publicly posted, probably by 10 a.m. today, it usually can be downloaded here.

What is known, however, is that suppliers’ responses to the board’s previously advertised annual request for diesel fuel bids are due to the township for opening today at 2 p.m. The lowest-priced acceptable bidders will be determined from the quotes submitted, and that list may come to the board for approval.

In addition to use at the garage, the township buys diesel fuel for its sewage system pump stations at 224 Porter Rd. and on South Sanatoga Road.

Also tonight, commissioners may discuss their progress in preparing the township’s 2011 budgets.

A board budget committee has already met publicly two weeks ago (Sept. 21) to work on the spending plans, which include that for the general fund and expenses, as well as for the sewer authority, parks and recreation, street lights, and the state highway fund. Two other public committee meetings are scheduled, for Tuesday (Oct. 5) and Oct. 20 (Wednesday), both at 4:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

The board’s last meeting, on Sept. 23, went surprisingly quickly, one member reported. Commissioner James Phillips said he and his colleagues wrapped up their light agenda then within 15 minutes. Besides the usual approval of meeting minutes and bills, the only business scheduled at the time was awarding a bid for the purchase of a car being sold by the police department.

The northeast retaining wall at Pottsgrove Middle School is streaked with white efflorescence, an indicator of moisture, in this November 2008 Post file photo.

POTTSTOWN PA – “Significant problems” with poor water drainage behind a retaining wall outside the cafeteria of the 11-year-old Pottsgrove Middle School, perched on a North Hanover Street ridge high above the Pottsgrove School District, will require the wall to be taken apart and rebuilt at a cost that’s “probably going to be painful,” the district Board of School Directors was told Tuesday (Sept. 28, 2010).

That assessment, offered by board treasurer and Facilities Committee Chairman Fred Remelius, follows committee discussions earlier in the night of a 20-page report, illustrated with color photographs, that documents the wall’s several structural failures and recommends fixes.

The white-topped, semi-circular retaining wall in front (right) of the Pottsgrove Middle School is seen in the top center portion of this Google photo. North Hanover Street is far right.

Ultimately, the report by a Lancaster PA engineering firm concludes, the retaining wall and its pilasters (columns) “have undergone significant water intrusion and subsequent deterioration.” There is no “feasible” way to dry the wall out and restore it, engineers noted, and it apparently is so far gone that it cannot be simply repaired and maintained.

District taxpayers likely will end up bearing the rebuilding cost, for which there was no immediately available estimate. “There’s no guarantee on a school building, and unfortunately these problems have surfaced more than 10 years down the road,” Remelius said.

The board took no action on the report. The wall’s structural problems seemingly pose no immediate danger to students occupying the building several feet behind it.

Problems with the retaining wall, which holds back earthen and other fill material in front of the school building, have been obvious for more than a year. The wall is buckling in some places, cracking in others, and is streaked with white efflorescence. The district hired structural engineers Baker, Ingram and Associates to review its condition during December (2009), and the firm returned in June (2010) for a more thorough inspection.

It determined that water over time has penetrated the wall, is even pooling behind it in some places, and has weakened its red-colored masonry veneer. Some of its steel components are rusting and flaking. Mortar joints are cracked, sealants are missing, and there are open joints around embedded railing posts topping the wall, the report said.

“The as-built construction of the retaining wall and pilaster is completely inadequate” to limit or release moisture or control water that gets into its components, according to the report. “There was probably a design defect to begin with,” Remelius acknowledged.

The report urges the district to address the problems soon. “If left unattended, these conditions will worsen and expand, resulting in more rapid deterioration, and the potential for partial collapse” of the veneer, the engineers warned.

Their report “does not address any other portion of the existing building structure,” they added.

SANATOGA PA – “Slow, but steady.” That’s how Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township police officers characterized the turnout as people deposited unwanted and expired prescription drugs into a box designated for the purpose during Saturday’s (Sept. 25, 2010) “National Take-Back Initiative” to keep such medications out of the hands of potential abusers.

Lower Pottsgrove police officers, right, distribute literature as part of Saturday's drug take-back effort outside the township municipal building on Buchert Road.

Lower Pottsgrove’s department and six other area law enforcement agencies were among those participating in the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) campaign to accept drugs for free, safe and legal disposal. They were due to be incinerated once collected.

A tall cardboard container adorned by the collection effort’s red, white and blue poster was the focal point of an awning-shaded area set up outside the police station’s door at the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA. Although they initially wondered how many, if any, local residents would appear to drop off medications, officers at the site said they were pleasantly surprised by the response.

It was that way, too, across much of the nation. More than 3,400 locations were involved in the take-back initiative. Collectively they accounted for tens of tons of pills, creams, syrups, liquids, lotions and capsules, almost all of them containing pharmaceutical substances.

In Houston TX, the Chronicle newspaper reported Sunday (Sept. 26), that city’s 17 sites accumulated 3,000 pounds of drugs for disposal. Compare those numbers to tiny Anderson IN, where that city’s Herald Bulletin newspaper said only eight people rid themselves of a small pile of meds they had no further use for.

The volume didn’t matter, DEA representatives told the media; getting drugs off the streets did. “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,” according to agency studies.

Participating departments promised they wouldn’t ask where the drugs came from or who was dropping them off. The ability to remain anonymous seemed to help, according to law enforcement officers.

POTTSTOWN PA – Seven different law enforcement agencies covering municipalities within a 20-mile radius of Pottstown PA are participating today (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 designated police stations and other sites.

Police departments throughout the area are urging public participation. The service is free, 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. The initiative’s immediate concern is to keep the medicines away from potential abusers.

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.

Joining in the initiative by operating drop-off sites at the following locations, are the:

• Lower Pottsgrove Township Police Department, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA;
• 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 students generally improved overall, and the percentage demonstrating advanced proficiency in math and reading skills climbed higher, in results from 2009-2010 school year benchmark tests administered under the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA), the state Department of Education reported last week (Sept. 14, 2010).

Pottsgrove also received a passing grade on the federal level, by achieving its goal of making district-wide adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the “No Child Left Behind” Act.

But while the district’s three elementary schools and middle school also individually met AYP standards, the high school did not. Its results were marred by what was deemed as insufficient academic performance in reading among “economically disadvantaged” learners.

The Pottsgrove totals were among those for all districts in the state, announced with fanfare by Gov. Ed Rendell. He claimed that, statewide, “student achievement has increased in every subject, at all tested grade levels, and for all ethnic, racial and economic subgroups of students since 2002.” Overall, Rendell added, three quarters of Pennsylvania students are now achieving at grade level, and the smallest percentage of students ever scored at the lowest level since PSSA testing began.

• Download a spreadsheet with 2010 district-by-district PSSA results in math and reading from across the state, here.
• Download the same information as an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) document, here.

Pottsgrove PSSA results show the percentage of all students who are performing at basic or better proficiency in math rose slightly, from 87.9 percent during 2009 to 89.4 percent during 2010. Basic or better proficiency among all students in reading rose too, from 87.3 percent during 2009 to 87.8 percent during 2010.

The district’s greatest PSSA score improvements were among all students with advanced proficiency. Those numbers in math jumped from 43.5 percent during 2009 to 50.1 percent during 2010; and in reading from 31.3 percent during 2009 to 35.4 percent during 2010.

The percentages of all district students who fell below PSSA-tested basic proficiency in those subjects showed corresponding decreases. Below-basic learners in math declined from 12.0 percent during 2009 to 10.6 percent during 2010; and in reading from 12.7 percent during 2009 to 12.2 percent during 2010.

Also, among all economically disadvantaged students, reading-specific scores for basic or better proficiency improved slightly from 77.1 percent during 2009 to 77.3 percent during 2010. High school-specific scores were not immediately available from the state, but its AYP report card indicated the same group’s reading results at Pottsgrove High “did not meet measure.”

Company statistics from the latest fire marshal's report, delivered Sept. 7 (2010) to the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners.

SANATOGA PA – From a public perspective, the biggest month of the year for the Sanatoga and Ringing Hill fire companies – the all-volunteer organizations that protect Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township residents from fire, accidents and other hazards – is only 13 days away.

October is National Fire Prevention Month, specifically chosen because the Great Chicago Fire that engulfed and destroyed a large portion of the Illinois city occurred Oct. 9, 1871. Within it is Fire Prevention Week, observed this year from Oct. 3-7. That’s when the men and women of both companies will be on the road, teaching Pottsgrove School District students and township home owners about what they do, how they do it and, frankly, how much they would prefer to do it less.

Ringing Hill volunteers will bring equipment and trucks to Pottsgrove schools during the week, according to a report submitted last week (Sept. 7, 2010) by Fire Marshal Lew Babel to the township Board of Commissioners. Visits to child day care facilities and private schools will be handled this year by Sanatoga volunteers.

In addition, members of both companies will be involved in public presentations scheduled for:

• Oct. 2 (Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Home Depot, 295 Armand Hammer Blvd., Pottstown PA;
• Oct. 7 (Thursday) from 7-9 p.m. in the Suburbia Shopping Center, 86 Glocker Way, Pottstown; and
• Oct. 10 (Sunday) from noon-4 p.m. at the Limerick Fire Company (Station 54), 390 W. Ridge Pike, Limerick PA.

Those tasks are in addition to their regular duties, which include monthly training, assisting community organizations, and providing emergency and firefighting assistance, Babel’s report noted.

During July 2010, the most recent month in which statistics for both companies were available (see the table at top), the township’s combined pool of firefighting volunteers put in a total of 574 man hours, the equivalent of two full-timers working 9-1/4 hours a day for the 31-day period without receiving a dime of pay.

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;
