Noel Vernon Winton (Passed on July 22nd, 2025)

Noel Vernon Winton, 81 of Vanport, a former longtime New Brighton resident, passed away on July 22nd, 2025 at his Vanport residence.

His life began on the West Coast in California where he was raised but found its most enduring chapters written in the heart of Beaver County, where he settled after meeting the love of his life, Janis Deyber. Their marriage on November 13th, 1963, was a testament to a love that would endure the trials of time, a union that remained unbroken until Janis’s passing on October 17, 2024.

He was the elder brother of five siblings. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents, Hubert Vernon and Wrilda Mae Winton and his brothers, Edgar and David. He is survived by his brothers, Jerry and Douglas and his sister, Gina.

Noel is also survived legacy by his loving children: Lori and her husband, Ron Tedford, Doug Winton, and Jeanne Winton and his grandchildren, Tristan Tedford and Noelle Dugan, who will forever cherish the memories of their grandfather’s boundless love and guidance. Known as “Daddy Vern” to many, his extended family at the Monaca American Legion and countless friends felt the warmth of his generous spirit.

Noel’s early life was characterized by a commitment to service. In 1961, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served with distinction during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, where he was a model of patriotism and often spoke with pride about his military experiences. Following his honorable discharge, he dedicated over 40 years of his life to Westinghouse Electric, which later became Cutler Hammer in Beaver as an inspector. His passion for life extended well beyond his professional endeavors. He was an avid lover of kids, dogs, and music who coached the New Brighton Little League team and later ascended to the role of Little League Commissioner. His competitive spirit found another outlet in his participation in a local golf league and his enjoyment of bass fishing. However, music was Noel’s soul’s true companion when he played the guitar and immersed himself in the sounds of Rock n’ Roll that provided him with endless joy. The Beatles, Buddy Holly, and Creedence Clearwater Revival were among his favorite groups with their music the soundtrack of his many cherished moments.

He was also an active member of the Monaca American Legion Post #580 and his presence was a fixture at bar bingo nights, where his laughter and camaraderie were as much a part of the evening as the games themselves.

Everyone is welcome to gather on Thursday, July 31st from 2-6 P.M. at the American Legion Post #580, Pennsylvania Avenue, Monaca to remember and celebrate his life. Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpson Funeral and Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.

(Homestead, PA) A man that has charges that are connected with a shooting that occurred on Wednesday in Homestead that hurt a man has turned himself in to the Allegheny County Jail.

Poole is in the Allegheny County Jail, being held there leading up to his preliminary arraignment. According to police, a call came in on Wednesday night for a man who’d been shot in the 300 block of East 13th Avenue. The male victim was wounded by a gunshot in his leg and he was found in a house by emergency crews. The victim is in stable condition after he was taken to the hospital and he did not talk about the information about the shotting in court records. According to Allegheny County police, the charges for Poole include aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Over 865,000 Pennsylvania workers would benefit from higher minimum wage

(File Photo: Source for Photo: FILE – Twenty dollar bills are counted on June 15, 2018, in North Andover, Mass. The number of Americans who do not have a bank account fell to a record low last year, as the proliferation of online-only banks and an improving economy is bringing more Americans into the traditional financial system, according to a report Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022.

(Reported by Danielle Smith of Keystone News Service)

(Harrisburg, PA) A new report finds raising Pennsylvania’s minimum wage to 15-dollars an hour would benefit more than 865-thousand workers from diverse demographic backgrounds. Pennsylvania’s minimum wage has remained stagnant at seven-dollars-25-cents per hour for 16 years. Supporters of raising it point out that state lawmakers get automatic annual raises. Claire Kovach with the Keystone Research Center says the report highlights the types of workers who would gain from a higher minimum wage. She emphasizes the majority would be experienced workers – many of whom are raising families and employed in essential, in-demand roles. She adds a minimum wage hike would also benefit people of color, who make up 34-percent of workers who’d see a raise, despite representing just 27-percent of the state’s population. The report says single parents and home health care workers would benefit, too.
