News Fall 2014
Township Initiates Road Improvement Project asphalt and other materials to create a new six- inch sub-base. Only a few contractors have the equipment, knowledge and manpower to do this and E.J. Breneman has been one of the contractors in the lead in this process, he said. When Woodrow compared Breneman's pricing against projects in neighboring municipalities, he found their proposed unit pricing consistent with other competitive bids. The contract for this scope of the project was awarded to EJ Breneman at a cost of $408,827.
A road materials recycling process was followed by the application of a new blacktop surface on top of the recently milled and recycled roads. During the summer, the Township began the first phase of a three-year road improvement project. Following last winter's exceptionally harsh weather, a survey was completed to determine which Township roads were in the most need of attention. As a result, four roads were targeted for repair in 2014: Church Road (from Circle Drive to Worcester Township boundary), Crawford Road, Rittenhouse Road and Surrey Lane. For the 2014 roadwork, two scopes of work were bid. Scope A was for a cold-in-place
recycling of the road sub-base while Scope B was for the final wearing course overlay. The bid allowed contractors to bid on one or both parts of the project; however no contractor bid on both portions. EJ Breneman was the only contractor to bid on the cold-mill recycling portion of the project. According to Township Engineer Tim Woodrow, of Woodrow and Associates, this is a specialty type of work in which the road is milled to approximately 6 inches in depth. The milled material is then mixed with new

Five bids were received for the wearing course overlay scope. Alan A. Myers Contractors, whose bid was the lowest and within budget estimates, was awarded the contract at a cost of $318,832.50. The contracts were awarded at the June 6, 2014 Board of Supervisors meeting and the roadwork began in July. Additional roads that landed near the top of the list are being considered for 2015 or 2016. Depending on roadway conditions and timing with the Arcola Road Bridge construction, they include all or portions of Arcola Road, Collegeville Road, Sunnyside Avenue, Coldspring Drive, Eaglestream Drive, Grange Avenue and Jennifer Lane. A definitive list has not yet been determined.

Young Cadets Get Hands-On Look at Police Work The Lower Providence Township Police Department hosted its first-ever Junior Police Academy for youths ages 9 to 13. By participating in plenty of hands-on activities and interacting with the officers, the cadets learned about police work and gained an appreciation for law enforcement and good citizenship. The two-day academy was held at the Arcola Intermediate School campus in June. Students from the Methacton School District were invited to submit applications. The first 40 eligible applicants became the Township's inaugural Junior Police Academy cadet class. Each day began with morning exercises and a jog, followed by a full schedule of activities. The cadets, grouped into four squads, examined basic equipment, patrol gear and police vehicles and attended K9, SWAT and bomb squad demonstrations. A highrisk car stop, field sobriety tests, and drug and alcohol awareness were also on their schedule. Physical fitness activities - including outdoor games, obstacle courses and relay races all were designed to encourage teamwork
within the squads. At the end of day two, diplomas were awarded to the cadets during a graduation ceremony. Members of the Township Police Department who served as squad leaders, instructors or demonstrators for the academy included: Chief Bud Carroll, Lt. Stan Turtle, Sgt. Mike Jackson, Cpl. Michael Slattery, Cpl. Matt Kuhnert, Cpl. Michael Higgins, Ofc. Mark Stead, Ofc. Cherelle Cutting, Ofc. Michael Nastasi, Ofc. Peter Fleming, Ofc. Matt Barber, and Ofc. Michael Rosa.
Service organizations providing demonstrations for the cadets included C e n t r a l M o n t g o m e r y S WAT , Montgomery County Sheriff Bomb Squad, Lower Providence Volunteer Fire Company, Lower Providence Community Ambulance, and PennSTAR Flight helicopter. The support of local businesses and donors was key to the success of the academy and thanks go out to Collegeville Bakery, Trooper Dairy Queen, Giant Food Market, Home Depot, Paradise Pizza, Shirt & Ink, and Wawa.

Peddling in the Township: What You Need to Know Peddling Residents should be aware that under Township Ordinance, anyone engaged in peddling or soliciting in the Township is required to obtain a license from the Police Department. Soliciting is restricted to the hours of 9 am to 8 pm or sunset, and there is to be no soliciting at any time on Sundays. The approved Peddling and Soliciting license must be carried by those soliciting. No licensed peddler or solicitor shall approach or otherwise call upon private places of business or residences where a notice has been placed indicating that the occupant does not wish to be solicited.
Credit card companies will not ask consumers to give their information this way. If a consumer is concerned about their card, they should hang up and call the number on the back of their card instead. Consumers can also take the following steps to avoid becoming a victim of this or other phone scams: Never give out personal information over the telephone. Never give out billing information over the phone, especially if you receive an unsolicited telephone call from a stranger. Never wire money or purchase green dot-type prepaid cash cards in response to a telephone appeal, whether it is from a stranger or someone who claims to know you.
For a list of licensed solicitors, visit the Lower Providence Township Police Department webpage, www.lowerprovidence.org/police.htm.
Consumers Warned About Credit Card Phone Scam
Never let emotion or fear overcome your common sense. If you get a call for money from a friend or relative, slow down and verify everything. Don't let anyone rush you.
Consumers should be aware and ready for a recent phone scam that has been very active in Pennsylvania involving calls regarding a phony "hold" on the consumer's credit or debit card account.
Never give out sensitive information to anyone on the phone unless you initiated the call to a company you are certain is legitimate.
During August, the PA Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection received similar complaints from multiple consumers regarding this scam.ÊThe scam consists of an automated call from a toll-free number telling the consumer that a hold has been placed on their credit or debit card account. If the consumer believes it is their card, they are asked to press "1" and then asked to enter the credit card number to proceed.
Never forget that you are in control. You can always hang up, find a company's number and call it directly. Consumers can file a complaint regarding these or other scams by calling the Bureau of Consumer Protection's tollfree helpline number at 1-800-441-2555 or online at www.attorneygeneral.gov.

Tenants and owners of properties abutting public streets are required to clear a pathway in the sidewalk. A path at least 30 inches wide must be cleared within 48 hours after it stops snowing/sleeting. Tenants/owners also are required to cover the sidewalk with ashes, sawdust or similar materials in the event of ice or sleet. Placing snow in the gutter or roadway is prohibited.
Please keep in mind that it is almost impossible to keep snow from being deposited at driveways during plowing. Please do not shovel or blow snow from driveways into the street. If you have a fire hydrant on your property, please clear the snow away from the area around it (leaving the
As always, the cooperation of residents and businesses is appreciated by the Township to help us keep our streets and sidewalks safe during inclement weather. Please remember: As long as it's snowing, the first priority is keeping main roads open and passable. Under normal circumstances, cul-de-sacs and dead end streets are typically plowed last because they carry the lowest volume of traffic. State highways and county roads are cleared by state and county snow removal crews. A list of Township priority roads can be found

From the Fire Marshal and Fire Chief: HELP US HELP YOU! "Adopt-A-Hydrant" for 2014 The snow is on the ground which means winter is officially upon us. The arrival of cold weather means that firefighters will be in a constant battle with slippery roads, hidden hydrants, and frozen hose lines. Do your part to help keep your neighborhood safe by clearing hydrants of snow. A clear path on all four sides makes hydrants easier to locate and operate in an emergency. Also, in snowy weather, please utilize off-street parking whenever possiable. This allows better access for emergency vehicles and also allows the Department of Public Works to clear the roads more efficiently. And never shovel snow into the street!

Arcola Road Bridge Update Persistence Paying Off Shovels are expected to be in the ground in mid-October to begin the work to replace the Arcola Road Bridge. In July, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) began the advertising process for the project and on Aug. 14, PennDOT was to review the submitted bids. The initial work will include the demolition of the existing bridge and its abutments, as well as necessary site work for the new bridge. The project is expected to last 18 months. Sen. John Rafferty and Rep. Mike Vereb have been holding regular meetings with the stakeholders, including Lower Providence Township officials, in an effort to push the project forward as quickly as possible. The new bridge will be slightly downstream from the current bridge location. The bridge is being replaced in a joint effort by the Federal Highway Administration, the state and Montgomery County. The bridge, one of 133 bridges owned by Montgomery County, was closed on August 16, 2013 when it was found to be in an advanced state of deterioration during an inspection performed by PennDOT. The bridge is classified as both structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. Updates on the Arcola Road Bridge progress and a report by the Montgomery County Director of Assets and Infrastructure, Ken Starr, can be viewed at http://www.montcopa.org/arcolaproject.

From the Lower Providence Township Sewer Authority Over the past three years, in our efforts to remove Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) from the system and reduce flow to the Mine Run Interceptor, we have tested over 14,000 pipe joints and repaired faults in over 78,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer main line. We have installed liners in 151 manholes, and at 63 main line connections that were leaking.In addition, we completed extensive cleaning on three of our larger pipes that run under the Perkiomen Creek in order to provide better flow throughout the system. Total cost associated with this work was a little over $1.2 million. As was mentioned in a previous newsletter, we received a grant from the Pa. Commonwealth Financing Authority that covered $800,000 of this. The majority of this work is concentrated in the northeast corner of the Township bounded by Summit Ave., Ridge Pk., Trooper Rd. and Germantown Pk. and involves the reduction of flow that discharges to the Providence Crossing and Walker Lane Pump Stations. Meters were installed before this work started and will be installed again this fall in order to quantify the reduction in flow.
The next area that we plan to look at is the area that discharges to the Trooper Rd. Pump Station which is located on Trooper Rd. between Woodlyn Ave. and Woodland Ave. We have also inspected over 2,900 homes for potential sources of I and I connections. These inspections will continue as time and manpower allow. Please check you sewer bill for notification. Again, we express our gratitude to all the township residents who have taken the to time to understand that without their help the Sewer Authority cannot achieve the reduction in flow that we seek. We appreciate the cooperation you have afforded us. Website - www.lowerprovidence.org/sewer.htm Check the website for updates and call us with any questions you may have.

Fall Stormwater Challenges Stormwater is formed when rainwater makes its way into storm drains or runs off our properties directly into streams. There are many sources of stormwater pollution unique to the fall season.
Leaf litter and yard waste dumped into a stormwater basin or near a waterway can cause harmful nutrient accumulation. Leaves swept into the street can enter storm drains and make their way into the nearest creek as well. Fall is the time for seeding and fertilizing, but if excess fertilizer is applied, it cannot be absorbed by the soil and washes away with the rain. Finally, if you are working on a landscaping project, bare soil can also run off into streams and cause sediment pollution.
Please Support Our Advertisers
To protect our streams: Yard and leaf waste can be shredded and used as mulch or fertilizer. Or, placed out for yard waste collection on Wednesdays use an open top container or compostable paper bag. Vacuum leaf collection is offered at an additional cost; for information, call J.P.Mascaro & Sons at 1-800432-1616. Don't fertilize immediately before a rainstorm and don't apply fertilizers in excess. Always follow the directions on the bottle for safe application and disposal whenever you use a chemical product.

Door Etiquette for Dogs associated various words with specific behaviors, they are able to associate the sound of the door with a certain behavior. 610-337-7698 200 King Manor Drive King of Prussia, PA 19406
Autumn is almost upon us! Football parties, Halloween and holidays are quickly approaching and if your dog has any habits that may be problematic or bothersome, now is the time to work on them! With all of the fun fall events, it is important to keep your furry family member in mind for their comfort and safety. Many dogs have learned to overreact to the sound of a doorbell or door knock, leading to uncomfortable door greetings and potential escapes. This behavior can be problematic if you plan to have friends and family visit for a party or meal. It adds an extra layer of stress to what should be an enjoyable evening. Rude door behavior, such as barking or lunging at the door when people visit, is extremely common and a highly reinforced behavior. From the dog's point of view, every time a delivery man or mailman approaches your door, they are a possible intruder and require immediate attention. Your dog does not realize that those individuals were scheduled to leave regardless of your dog's reaction. In their mind, they have just saved you from a potential threat because the person does leave while your pet is throwing a fit or behaving poorly. Thus the behavior is reinforced. While you probably can't ask every person coming to your home to act as a training tool (people have places to go and things to do after all), you can prepare your dog to behavior more appropriately when they hear the doorbell or knocker. You have probably already taught your dog a variety of verbal cues without you even realizing that you have. Remember that your dog does not naturally speak English, but they have learned by association that "sit" means putting their bottom on the floor. They have also learned associations that you have not explicitly taught them, such as the doorbell brings potential intruders to protect you from or friends to jump on and greet. It is your job to use the doorbell as a cue for a different behavior. Just as your dog has
going into their crate. Do this routine a few times a day until your dog is sprinting to their crate at the sound of the bell. Now you can start to wean out the treat that is waiting in the crate and only reward your dog after they have entered the crate. The next time an unplanned door bell ring occurs, your dog will hopefully run to their crate. You should follow and reward your dog still and even potentially close the door or give a "stay" cue, allowing you to answer the door as needed without a dog overreacting at your entranceway. You have now changed the meaning of the doorbell for your dog and ended the problematic behavior of poor door etiquette. You can greet your guests and continue on with your plans without worrying about an overprotective dog, escaping dog, etc.
There are plenty of options for what your dog could do when they hear someone at the door. One option is to send your dog to their crate or their bed at the sound of a doorbell (you can substitute a knock if that fits your home better). The easiest way to begin training would be with two people: one to ring the bell and the other to train the dog. Start by having one person outside by the door and one person ready with treats or another high value reward (cheese, pieces of hot dog are great rewards!). Person A will ring the bell followed immediately by Person B running over to the predetermined location, such as a crate, and toss in a tasty treat. Person B should not say anything, as you want your dog to associate the bell with a location based on the reward -- not a word with the location. Your dog will probably still bark and get worked up by the door, but unlike past experiences, no one is going to come in or respond. After a few moments your dog will probably get mildly confused or bored and come see what Person B is doing. That's when they will find their tasty reward. Person B can give them a few more rewards for hanging out in their crate then release them. Repeat this game of Person A ringing the bell and Person B rewarding the dog for Please Support Our Advertisers
If you do not have a helper to ring the bell for you, consider scheduling a regular training party in the guise of football or movie night. You can invite a few friends over for a football game or movie (make sure it is airing on TV so that you have regular commercial breaks) and use them to help you train your dog. Of course, you can pay them in the form of food and drinks. Football games and movies that are airing on TV have fairly regular commercial breaks that you can use as training trials. Simply ask all of your friends to walk outside at the start of a commercial break and have them each ring the bell for you while you train following the directions above. You can act as Person B and have your friends ring the bell while you reward your dog at the appropriate location. As an added bonus, your friends can walk over and greet or feed your dog, as well. This allows extra rewarding for your dog and it's away from the door! Fall is a great time to begin working with your dog on indoor etiquette. Summer warmth is fading and many social activities begin to move inside, so it is important to ensure that your dog is as happy to have visitors as you are! Happy Training!

Parks & Recreation Department Another Great Summer for Our Campers! The Township's Parks and Recreation Department wrapped up another successful Camp Perkiomy season - the summer camp program has been serving Township families for over 20 years. This is a wonderful, well run program... My kids had a blast!!!”
Lil' Perkiomy Camp provided preschoolers, ages 4 and 5, the chance to get a taste of the camp experience. The campers met for half-day sessions at the Eagleville Park pavilion. Three two-week sessions were offered.
“My son had a great time and is already looking forward to next summer. Thank you!!!!”
Camp Perkiomy, held at Eagleville, Audubon and Arrowhead Elementary Schools, accommodated campers in kindergarten through 5th grade. The Perkiomy Trailblazers camp is designed for middle school youths in grades 5 through 8. It was held at two sites, Arrowhead Elementary School and the Shoemaker House on the grounds of the Township complex.
Facebook comments
Throughout the summer, campers enjoyed creative arts days and theme days, field trips and guest speakers and a wide variety of special events everything from Weird Science Day to Hawaiian Luau Day to Everybody's Birthday Party! If you'd like more information on the Camp Perkiomy program, contact the Parks and Recreation Department, 610635-3543. Look for details on the 2015 camp season on the Township website after the first of the year.
