(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

“We want to keep the legacy alive of our fallen heroes…so that these names will never be forgotten.”

Dana Tabay spoke to Matt Drzik on the September 2 edition of A.M. Beaver County about the return of the WPA Gold Star football games, which honor the fallen veterans of combat from the area. Ten players on each team change their nameplates to those of fallen heroes, and each game will feature a corresponding meet-and-greet dinner where the players meet the families of the fallen and learn more about their histories.

The WPA Gold Star Game schedule has expanded to 8 games this year, including the first college game its ever been part of. The first of those games takes place tonight, as the South Side Rams host the Riverside Panthers at Ashcroft Stadium; the pregame ceremony begins at 6:30 with a 7:00 kickoff. The schedule features 14 high school teams from four counties with one high school game per week from Week 1 to Week 7, concluding with the Geneva/Westminster game at Reeves Field on November 12.

Dr. Cyril Wecht Talks About “A Pathological Discussion” He Is Hosting At Lincoln Park On September 10

Decades of mystery. Thousands of case files. One man who has seen it all.

Famed pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht is returning to the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center for “A Pathological Discussion With Dr. Cyril Wecht” on Saturday, September 10 at 2:00 PM. Dr. Wecht discussed the ins and outs of the show with Matt Drzik on the September 2 edition of A.M. Beaver County.

“The format of the show…John McIntire and I have been doing this for years now,” Wecht said, referring to what audiences should be looking out for. The format of the show goes through some of the most high-profile cases in American history–names such as O.J. Simpson, Marilyn Monroe, Jon Benet Ramsey, and Anna Nicole Smith, just to name a few. “It’s not a scientific lecture like in a classroom,” he added, “I present it in a way that people understand, and they’ll find it interesting.” The audience will then participate in a Q&A with Wecht and McIntire at the end of the show.

Largest of all the names on the list is John F. Kennedy, a case still shrouded in mystery nearly 60 years later. Wecht–who just recently joined the Midland Innovation & Technology Charter School as the namesake of its Forensic Science & Justice Academy–says that he doesn’t see that truth ever coming to light. “It pains me greatly to say that I am very pessimistic,” he stated. “It hurts me greatly as an American citizen, as a forensic scientist, and as an attorney…not a damn thing has been done.”

Tickets for “A Pathological Discussion With Dr. Cyril Wecht” can be purchased at the Lincoln Park Box Offices in Midland, by visiting lincolnparkarts.org, or by calling (724)-576-4644.

Pa State Rep Rob Matzie: $85,000 Awarded to Boost Fresh Fruits and Vegetables for Grade-Schoolers

(File Photo)

(AMBRIDGE, Pa.) More fresh produce is headed to Beaver County elementary schools, thanks to nearly $85,000 in grant funding awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, state Rep. Rob Matzie, D-Beaver, announced today.

Matzie said the funding awarded under the USDA’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program includes $38,570 to the Aliquippa School District, $22,330 to the Ambridge Area School District and $24,080 to the Rochester Area School District.
“Providing fresh produce for school snacks helps kids concentrate and retain information better and gives them stronger resistance to germs and illness,” Matzie said. “Better nutrition is tied to better test scores, fewer absences and kids that are more energized to learn. Securing this funding is going to help fuel learning in all the right ways.”

Funding priority was given to the schools with the highest rates of students eligible for free and reduced-price meals.

More information about the grants is available here, and a full list of the schools receiving funding is available here.

What A GAME WHAT A GAME WHAT A GAME PITT 38 WEST VIRGINIA 31

Pittsburgh West Virginia did not miss a step, the backyard brawl was everything you could want to see. Pitt won the toss and elected to kick off West Virginia Marched down the field but stalled out. Pitt then got the ball and were able to complete a few passes but the drive also stalled. So the teams battled back and fourth and went into the locker room tied 10-10. The second half both teams were able to move the ball up and down the field and they did not stop until a sliding caught was under review  for what seemed to be hours but it proved to be a drop by WVU at Pitts  one yard line with 22 ticks on the clock final score 38 – 31

By BROOKE SCHULTZ Associated Press/Report for America
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvanians with minor, nonviolent marijuana criminal convictions are eligible to be pardoned under a joint effort from Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. Beginning Thursday, anyone who has been convicted of possession of marijuana or small amount of personal use will be able to apply. There is no limit for the age of conviction. Officials estimate that thousands of Pennsylvanians are eligible due to convictions over the past several decades, even pre-dating marijuana’s criminalization under federal law. The application period ends at the end of the month. Republican opponents panned the effort as Democrats caving to their political base.
