Wildlife officials are warning Western Pennsylvania residents that we could see more bugs this summer. The Pennsylvania Game Commission says a fungus is wiping out tens of thousands of bats in our area. Fewer bats means more bugs, like mosquitoes, are able to survive. Pennsylvania is testing a spray in some caves to help stop the spread of the fungus.
Authorities say a woman sprayed bear repellent inside a college building, sickening at least six people and forcing evacuations. Mary Siegert faces six counts of simple assault and one count each of having an offensive weapon and risking a catastrophe. It’s not known if she’s retained an attorney, but she allegedly told cops the canister must have accidentally discharged. Authorities went to the University of Pittsburgh’s Eureka Building on Monday after some people inside had trouble breathing.

There is controversy in the Beaver County Treasurers election race today. A mailer sent by republican candidate C-B Netheland accused his opponent Sandie Egley of running a pay-to-play scheme. The flyer is in reference to an article in 2016 in which administrative assistant, Randi Bick was fired after Egley was made aware of the situation from then State Rep Jim Christiana. Bick was accused of telling an unidentified man that if certain people didn’t participate more in Egley’s campaign, they would no longer be doing business with the county. According to The Beaver County Times, the mailer incorrectly referenced an article previously written in the Times that stated Egley had no knowledge of Bick’s actions. Beaver County Radio erroneously reported that Bick was fired earlier this month when she was in fact fired when Egley was made aware of what she was doing. We apologize for the error. Egley told the times that the accusation against her was “an outright lie” and “entirely false”.
Assistant Secretary Scott Stump of the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education visited the Career and Technology Center yesterday.

Congressman Conor Lamb has proposed a bill that would increase the penalties on theft from gun stores. This bill is gaining support from many of Lamb’s colleagues. In addition to stronger punishment for theft, this bill would also strengthen penalties on theft from gun ranges and shooting clubs. Lamb and others hope this bill will limit weapons trafficking substantially, and make businesses and neighborhoods safer.
