From Courage, to Crime, to Art to Trash

The four firefighters honors Wednesday night were Chad Quinter,

Steve Smola, Brad Reinhart and Rick Brendlinger.

Coming off the Thanksgiving holiday, you might think that members of Pottstown Borough Council had their fill of over-eating.

But Wednesday night's work session had a full plate of issues, and presentations.

There were the awards for firefighters for their successful efforts to ave an elderly man from an April fire in the apartments in the old borough hall on King St.

Then there were the awards for the artists who painted store windows downtown for Halloween.

In the wake of Sunday's crime wave, Pottstown Police Chief Richard Drumheller and Mayor Sharon Thomas had some things to say (videos are there for those who care to hear it all).

And Monday night, council will vote on a new 3-year, or 5-year trash contract, choosing from among two regular bidders, J.P. Mascaro & Sons and Waste Management.

You can find out about it all in the Tweets from the meeting found below.
