A 91-year-old man from Ellwood City is again facing charges for urinating in public. John Sidor is accused of relieving himself in the Giant Eagle parking lot on Route 228 in Franklin Township while another shopper was unloading groceries in a vehicle next to his. A manager at the store told police Sidor has done this several times before and he pleaded guilty in July to disorderly conduct for a similar incident. His preliminary hearing is set for September 9th.
Pittsburgh police say a Brighton Heights man was in his early 40s when he began a years-long sexual relationship with a teenage girl that led to three pregnancies before she turned 18. 55-year-old Michael Anthony Wilson was charged Wednesday with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with a minor, statutory sexual assault and other offenses. A police affidavit says that the victim, who is now 26, told investigators that she had been in an “intimate relationship” with Wilson beginning around 2005 when she was just 13. The relationship continued over a period of about five years. According to the affidavit, Wilson got the victim pregnant when she was 14, 15 and 17 years old…and she had abortions when she was 14 and 17 and gave birth to a child from her pregnancy at age 15. The victim said told investigators that Wilson knew how old she was at the time and said that several of her family members confronted him.

Usually when there’s a presidential election on the horizon in the United States, a certain segment of the population will express a jaded apathy towards the two-party system, and perhaps give nod to a new idealism that doesn’t constantly beckon towards the status quo.
Enter Dr. Jerome Segal, a 75-year old philosopher and leader of the Bread & Roses party, a socialist party dedicated to the utopian possibilities for the average American. One that echoes the sentiment, as Segal put it, that “nobody ever died wishing they spent more time at the office”.
He put it as such in a phone interview with Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County, where Dr. Segal talked about the necessity for the American individual to become more invested in the stocks and trades of the corporate system, how fear is a destructive force in today’s America, and his 20-year plan for culture change towards each American being in solid (if not comfortable) financial standing.
More information about Dr. Segal’s campaign can be found here.
