Schnitzelburg Area Community Council general meetings are generally held on the last Monday of every month at St. Elizabeth's Cafeteria at 7 p.m. We usually have a community leader, someone from the Louisville Metro Police Department or a speaker that can talk about home improvement or sustainablility there to give a speech and answer questions.

SACC General Meeting Features Meth Lab Presentation by Officer Dean Sturgeon

The February SACC general meeting featured an informative presentation by Officer Dean Sturgeon of the Louisville Metro Police 4th Division on the dangers of meth labs.

Some telltale signs of a meth lab are:

-Strong chemical odors
-Large numbers of empty pill bottles or blister packs
-Propane tanks with blue corrosion on fittings
-Stripped lithium batteries
-Soft drink bottles with hoses attached
-Excessive amounts of trash
-Large quantities of drain cleaner, paint thinner, toulene, denatured alcohol, ammonia, starter fluid, antifreeze, hydrogen peroxide, rock salt or iodine.

The Metro Police Department recommends that if you suspect a property may be an illegal lab, you contact them and stay away from the area. Meth labs present dangers from explosion and exposure to hazardous chemicals. Visit www.drugfree.org/Meth for more information.
