I’m calling about bullying at Spring-Ford High School. The high school’s anti-bullying program is a joke. The bullying that goes on there is unbelievab­le and the school does nothing about it and most of the problem deals with the fact that the school is afraid of dealing with the parents.

I see the Boyertown school superinten­dent earns $800 a day. Well I know senior citizens who get less than that for a month and are losing their homes because of the high taxes. Let this high-paid guy read the sheriff notices and smile as another senior loses their home.

Parents do you look at your children when they go to a prom? Have you watched the shows on PCTV? Why do 16- and 17-year-old girls need to have dresses open to the waist and slit up to their waist? I don’t understand that. That is not decent for a girl at 16- or 17-yearsold. Mothers, use common sense when picking out dresses for your daughters to go to proms.

I am disabled and I always get my gas at Wawa on Route 100 and I think he is the manager, Ron, he always comes out and fills me up or somebody else does. I’d just like to tell them thank you so very, very much. There are good kind people in this world. Hope nobody ever gets in this situation like me.

Let’s see if I have this bizarre story straight. Following the medical exam by his doctor, Trump wrote his own summary describing him as the “Healthiest president ever elected.” Now we discover that the doctor’s office has been raided and the records removed. I seem to remember when we had a president who couldn’t not tell a lie. How times have changed.

Tuesday night the Boyertown Area Senior High School hosted the best concert with singing from different schools in the area. It was amazing all the people that were in it. It just was unbelievab­le. And they had the best menu for the 15-minute intermissi­on. Thank you again for hosting this. And there were a lot of empty seats. All the proceeds were for Children’s Hospital.

I hope everybody out there who is donating to Donald Trump’s campaign fund keeps donating because he’s got a lot of lawyers now to pay off. Keep those donations coming in.

I was observing the brand-new utility building on Prince Street. What a beautiful building it is but the road is deplorable. It’s undrivable. They put the brand-new utility building in but Prince Street is a disaster. Could someone please pave that and also at Berks and High streets, the inside lane there by the Sunoco Station also needs to be repaired. Someone please take care of it.

I would like to thank my primary care doctor Dr. Carol Henwood who referred me to Dr. James Guille for severe back pain. His staff and he and the staff at the Pottstown Hospital fourth floor orthopedic­s wing were absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend them. They were fantastic.

Well Kanye West got exactly what he wanted. He wanted attention, he wanted everyone to talk about what he had to say. Don’t you guys realize now, famous people love the attention? And yet everyone falls for it. People need to grow up.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is working very hard to close the doors of court rooms to the average citizen. Call your local representa­tives and tell them to not let this happen.

I’ve been watching these political ads by the Dems on TV lately and it’s all about fighting the NRA, making sure there’s abortion (that kills more than what guns do), also throwing money out the window for schools and of course we have to forgive student loans because after all who’s going to pay for it? I guess the same guys that pay for the school taxes now.

I remember speaking to a lady on the school board and I thought she said the cones at the middle school were only to be put out during the road constructi­on but now that the road is done there should be no more reason to put the cones out. Hope this helps.

Yes Lady Di, let’s talk about lying. For example Trump never had a fling with Stormy Daniels, that none of Mueller’s questions had anything to do with collusion and that Trump is the healthiest president ever elected. All lies made up by Trump himself and now a lie by you saying that we got the president we wanted. No we didn’t or he would’ve won the popular vote as well.
