Fee-Waived Adoptions for Senior Pets in November by Humane Pennsylvania

November, recognized as National Adopt A Senior Pet Month, encourages the adoption of older shelter pets. Humane Pennsylvania is offering fee-waived adoptions for senior pets aged 10 and above throughout November at its Berks and Lancaster County centers, sponsored by Lancaster Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical (LHP). LHP's Managing Partner, Jenna Kaufman, highlights their commitment to community and animal welfare.

Adoptions include health supplements, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, flea treatment, microchipping, and a bag of pet food. Interested adopters can visit the shelters or HumanePA.org, but must pass the adoption screening process.

For more details, visit Humane Pennsylvania's website or contact The Lancaster Center for Animal Life-Saving at (717) 393-6551 or The Freedom Center for Animal Life-Saving at (610) 921-2348.

Pottstown Bank Robbery
Under Investigation

Authorities are probing a robbery that occurred at the PNC Bank in Pottstown, located at High and Wilson Streets, just before 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

According to Pottstown Police, a man handed a note to a teller and fled with an unspecified item. The suspect remains at large, and the bank has been temporarily closed. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. The investigation is currently active.

Chester County Man Charged with Sexual Assault of Teen and
Providing Meth

Kevin L. Pethtel, a 53-year-old from East Coventry Township, faces charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl and giving her methamphetamine over four months in Chester, Montgomery, and Berks counties.

He is currently held in Chester County Prison with a $1 million bail. The charges include statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, corrupting minors, delivering methamphetamine, and related offenses.

The victim reported meeting Pethtel in May 2023, with incidents occurring in various locations. Police corroborated the allegations with video evidence from the victim's phone, which matched Pethtel's tattoos.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Following Stellar Performance

For the first time this season and the second consecutive week, a Philadelphia Eagles player has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Following A.J. Brown's recognition last week, quarterback Jalen Hurts earns the title this week.

In a victory against the Washington Commanders, Hurts delivered an impressive performance, completing over 76% of his passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns, achieving a 135.7 passer rating.

This marks Hurts' third NFC POTW honor, having won twice last year. He's the fourth Eagle to receive a POTW award this season, joining Brown, D’Andre Swift, and Jake Elliott.
