This Veteran’s Day, local businesses are teaming up with the Center At The Mall, the Beaver County Office On Aging, and several other sponsors/participants to give back to veterans and seniors for the 2020 holiday season.

The Beaver Valley Mall will be hosting a drive-thru event for older veterans and seniors on November 11 from 10 AM to 12 Noon, in which participants can drive up and receive bags containing sweet treats and important information. Beaver County Radio will be broadcasting live during the event and will provide live updates during Teleforum.

Biden on cusp of presidency after gains in Pennsylvania

Biden on cusp of presidency after gains in Pennsylvania

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Joe Biden has overtaken President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia. That puts Biden on the cusp of winning the presidency since the election hinges on the outcome of tight contests in those battleground states. The new results Friday come as Trump is trying to undermine confidence in this week’s election. With his pathway to reelection appearing to shrink, Trump advanced unsupported accusations of voter fraud Thursday to falsely argue Biden was trying to seize power. It amounted to an extraordinary effort by a sitting American president to sow doubt about the democratic process. Trump’s remarks also prompted a rebuke from some fellow Republicans, particularly those looking to steer the party in a different direction in a post-Trump era.
