The Boyertown School District is no longer accepting applications for the Superintendent's position, which is being vacated by Harry Morgan, who is retiring. According to a notice on the school district's Web site, the board will begin reviewing the resumes of those who have applied already.

According to a story in Friday's Reading Eagle, the most recent school board meeting on Tuesday became heated when Al Turchanik asked why the board was footing the bill for Gilbertsville Elementary Principal Ronald W. Christman's tuition. Christman is studying for a doctorate degree. The tuition costs are more than $2,500 a year, according to the Eagle's report. The board has already approved the expense. Christman gets paid $118,000 a year.

Pottstown's High Street is seeing more life lately. The dollar store that was burned out in a massive fire two years ago that also damaged the Lastick Furniture store is getting ready to reopen. Shelves and the interior were being put in place and a new sign has been hung on the awning.

A Cricket mobile phone store has also opened up in the 300 block, next to a soon-to-be ice cream parlor that once housed a nail salon, and across from the National Penn Bank.

A sheriff's sale sign appeared on the Pottstown Farmer's Market doors. Word is the building was seized for lack of a mortgage payment and is being auctioned off by a bank in November. It was not certain what would happen to the vendors still inside, though they are all still open for business. Unfortunately the Italian Market was closed when the building was taken over by the bank.

The old Norco Auto Group building is also up for auction, according to a placard outside of the building.
