THE BEAVER COUNTY SPECIAL OLYMPICS HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY ARE POSTPONING THE POLAR PLUNGE THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEKEND IN BRIDGEWATER BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME COLD. BEAVER COUNTY RADIO NEWSMAN PAT SEPTAK SPOKE WITH THE ORGANIZATION’S SPOKESMAN – CHRIS McCABE – WHO TOLD US IT WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS TO GO ON WITH THE EVENT AS PLANNED…
AGAIN…THE NEW DATE FOR THE BEAVER COUNTY SPECIAL OLYMPICS POLAR PLUNGE IS SATURDAY, JANUARY 27TH AT NOON AT THE BRIDGEWATER LANDINGS MARINA. JUST GO TO PLUNGEPA.ORG TO PRE-REGISTER.
Forecasters say the coldest air is yet to come…despite 5 straight days of sub-zero wind chills! With that in mind, the Beaver County Humane Society wants to remind everyone- please don’t leave your pets out in the cold! You should know that it is against the law to leave a dog outside for more than 30 minutes when the temperature drops below freezing. Pennsylvania’s new Animal Cruelty Prevention law went into effect in June. But there have already been many reports of animals freezing to death because their owners left them outside in these brutally cold conditions. If you have any questions about the new law, you can contact the Humane Society at beavercountyhumanesociety.org.

Tuesday could have been a rough game for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The game itself went the Penguins’ way, in a big way. Riding a frenetic second period, the Penguins pummeled their cross-state rivals, beating the Flyers 5-1.
Neither of tonight’s starting goalies made it through all of the game. Brian Elliott made way for Michal Neuvirth due to poor play, while Tristan Jarry was injured during a scramble around the net and Matt Murray didn’t allow a goal in relief of Jarry.
Ryan Reaves scored a nice goal to make it 2-1, while assisting on a Tom Kuhnhackl goal as well. Jamie Oleksiak was a looming presence in more ways than one, handling Brandon Manning in a fight and scoring a power-play goal. The game really spiraled out of control for the Flyers when Reaves and Conor Sheary scored goals just 40 seconds apart.
here’s who got hurt:
• Carter Rowney never came out to start the second period, reason unknown.
• Brian Dumoulin took a shot to the head in the middle period. He returned to the dressing room, presumably to pass concussion protocol, only to return and leave again.
• Tristan Jarry left following a net-front scramble, also in the second period. It’s believed to have involved his right wrist.
• Jamie Oleksiak left with an undisclosed injury, in the second period, although he returned for the third and fought Brandon Manning early on.
The Pens are next in action Thursday night as they host the Carolina Hurricanes. Tune into AM Beaver County with Matt Drzik tomorrow morning from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. for more on tonight’s game.
