Aston Drop Box Concerns: Letter to Editor

Aston Drop Box Concerns: Letter to Editor

Mr Stigale, Mr Higgens, Aston Board of Commishinors:

It has come to my attention there is an unattended drop box at the abandoned township building located on Pennell Road.

In addition to the building being vacated there appears to be a solar powered camera. Is this camera operational? Does this camera function at night and is there a reliable power source that will ensure this camera is functional at all times? How is data obtained from this device, are there any radio transmitters of any kind or any removeable storage?

A vacant building and questionable security is clearly justification enough to remove the drop box. At least two other neighboring municipalities have removed their drop boxes and there is a lawsuit in a neighboring county over similar concerns that may have statewide implications.

In light of this information I request you, the duly elected representatives of the People of Aston Township, to vote immediately and unanimously to remove this drop box as soon as possible before the next election and not to replace it at this or any other location within the township, now or in the future.

Sincerely,

Joseph B Dychala

Aston, PA

Bayer sold heroin.

The name for the drug heroin was coined by Bayer and comes from the Greek word Heros becomes the company thought it had an “heroic” effict on users.

Bayer had the name trademarked until it lost it — along with aspirin —  following Germany’s defeat in World War I.

Yes, Bayer sold heroin. To children.

Off Page Holding Play Festival In Rutledge

Off Page Holding Play Festival In Rutledge — A short-play festival will be held, Nov. 12, at Rutledge Community Center sponsored by Off Page, a creative artist group started during the Pandemic.

“We’ve read hundreds of scripts over the last few years. Our Facebook page Philadelphia Screenwriters had 40 members before everything shut down. Now we are well over 500 strong with the majority of members from Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties,” said Brigette ReDavid, who founded Off Page in the summer of 2020.

Ms. ReDavid is the former managing editor of the NEWS of Delaware County whose work appeared in the Main Line Times, University City Review, and the Philadelphia Inquirer where she was a Lifestyle and entertainment columnist. She lives in Glen Mills and travels between Philadelphia, New York and LA to work as a writer and filmmaker.

The group’s goal is to become a non profit to continue supporting area writers and artists in their work, she said.

Off Page is accepting admissions through Sept. 23 for the festival.

“In May, I was the producer and AD on a short film by John Giordano and Dennis Jeantet and we filmed one of the days at the Rutledge Community Center,” she says. “Upstairs the borough has built the most beautiful stage and I thought this is the perfect place for our first Off Page event.”

Details can be found on the Philadelphia Screenwriters or Off Page FACEBOOK pages, or by emailing OffPage2021@gmail.com.

“We’ve been getting some really good submissions in from Villanova students, Broomall residents and more. There’s a lot of talent here,” she says
