HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration is devoting $5 million in federal grants to a student-loan repayment program in high opioid-use areas where there’s a shortage of substance-abuse professionals. The application period opened May 1 and runs through June 3. Successful applicants must have served two years treating substance abuse and opioid addiction. They’ll be obligated to commit to two additional years working at an approved treatment facility.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia police are investigating after a 5-year-old boy brought about two dozen vials of crack cocaine into a preschool at a Roman Catholic church. Police say the boy told a teacher’s aide at St. Cyprian Children’s Center that the person who handed him the bag told him to hide it. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia tells WTXF-TV that the teacher’s aide took the bag, which she suspected held drugs, informed an administrator, and they called 911.

At a brief commissioners’ work session on Wednesday, Waste Management Director Holly Vogt brought forth a new initiative for recycling in Beaver County called “Glass Back To Glass”. She explained the basics of the new initiative to the County Commissioners and meeting attendees:
This new initiative came after a series of complaints by county citizens about the inability to have their glass collected when the Waste Management Department ended such collections earlier in 2019. Vogt sees this initiative as a solution to that as well as other issues the county has yet to fix:
Meanwhile, the Commissioners agreed upon the cancellation of the May 22 work session, and Chairman Dan Camp explained why:
The scheduled public meeting for May 23 is still set to occur, and that is when the Commissioners will again meet publicly.

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) — Hersheypark is warning about a ticket scam that is spreading on social media. The Pennsylvania theme park says the scam is offering users four free passes to mark the park’s 112th anniversary if they take a survey, share it and like it on Facebook. Instead, users are directed to another website that is not affiliated with the park. Hersheypark says it has notified Facebook. The park says any legitimate offers are available on its website and official social media pages.
