Story by Sandy Giordano, Beaver County Radio News

Last Thursday, September 29, 2022, City of Aliquippa Mayor Dwan  Walker went to Washington, D.C. and represented, not only the city but Beaver County  at a  Building a Better Pennsylvania event at the White House. The mayor said that President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to the event  and  called him by name and shook his hand.

Mayor Walker said that the attendees were  from Pennsylvania and upon entering had COVID- 19 testing.  Walker said “It was amazing,” and he was one of four mayors invited to the event.

A tour of the White House and the oval office was featured.  The  mayor took the Aliquippa flag along and took many pictures for all to see.

Mayor Walker said the idea of the trip was to make politics local. The representatives were told to keep  doing what they are doing in their  municipalities.

Doug Imhoff, who is a lawyer, was also in attendance . His focus  was on infrastructure, climate change, allocation of funds and resources.

Mayor Walker said,” it  was   one of  my favorite trips, and  he’ll  never forget it. He added, traffic in our nation’s capital was unreal”

October Is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month; Women’s Center Of Beaver County Has 24-Hour Service For Victims

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

“It’s our job to be aware of other resources in the community that can help somebody, to make their situation a little bit less difficult.”

The Women’s Center Of Beaver County continues to help all victims of domestic violence within Beaver County. They offer consultation, shelter, and legal advocacy among other services to those seeking help with their situations, and they connect with other agencies throughout the area in order to help victims obtain the best solution. October is recognized as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month throughout the United States.

Ann Colella-Murray of the Women’s Center joined Matt Drzik on the October 4 edition of A.M. Beaver County to discuss the services that the Women’s Center provides, as well as the circumstances that lead to help being sought out. “We rarely have victims of domestic violence contact us the first time they were hit,” she stated. “We’re far more likely to see people who have been involved in violence long-term before they finally pick up the phone.”

The Women’s Center operates a 24-hour Helpline for victims seeking assistance in cases of domestic violence; the number is (724) 775-0131. Further information about what services are provided by the Women’s Center–all of it free and all of it confidential–can be found at their website: womenscenterbc.org.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of available jobs in the U.S. plummeted in August compared with July, a sign that businesses may pull back further on hiring and potentially cool chronically high inflation. There were 10.1 million advertised jobs on the last day of August, down a huge 10% from 11.2 million openings in July. In March, job openings had hit a record of nearly 11.9 million. The sharp drop in job openings will be welcomed by the Federal Reserve. Fed officials have cited the high level of openings as a sign of strong labor demand that has compelled employers to steadily raise pay to attract and keep workers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Loretta Lynn, the Kentucky coal miner’s daughter who became a pillar of country music, has died. Lynn’s family said she died Tuesday at her home in Tennessee. She was 90. Her compositions reflected her pride in her humble background and spoke frankly of her experiences as a woman and mother in Appalachia on such hits as “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough” and “The Pill.” Her bestselling 1976 autobiography was made into a movie, with Sissy Spacek winning an Oscar for her portrayal of Lynn. Lynn wrote unfiltered songs about sex and love, cheating husbands, divorce and birth control that sometimes got her in trouble with radio programmers.
