The 2018 Beaver County Boom Is Set To Go Off June 23!

It has become one of the best ways to spend a hot summer night, and the organizers of the 2018 Beaver County Boom–PUSH Beaver County, Zambelli Fireworks and Beaver County Radio among them–are recognizing that this year.

Matt Drzik was joined by committee members Mark & Nate Kopsack from PUSH Beaver County, as well as Dr. George Zambelli from Zambelli Fireworks, to talk about “Hot Summer Nights”: this year’s Beaver County Boom that will be on June 23, 2018. The evening will feature mini-food trucks, a concert at Thursday’s, and many other activities and festivities for attendees. All of which culminates in a choreographed fireworks display that will be shown over the Beaver River at 9:45.

Don’t forget, Beaver County Radio will be at Thursday’s broadcasting The Wrangler Band’s live performance, as well as at Bridgewater Park with the Personality Prize Wheel!

Ask the Commissioners on Teleforum with Frank Sparks Thursday June 07, 2018

The monthly segment “Ask the Commissioners” turned into “Ask the Commissioner” as Commission Chairman Dan Camp was at a meeting and Commissioner Tony Amadio is on vacation. Commissioner Sandie Egley and host Frank Sparks discussed the search for a new Financial Administrator and why has it been so hard to find a replacement for Ricardo Luckow who was fired by Camp and Amadio on March 8, 2018 that was part of a shake-up in the Courthouse that saw Egley ousted as Chairwomen and replaced with Camp.  Egley said that she thinks politics might be playing a role in it and that people are scared that there is no job security in the position since Luckow was ousted without notice.

Sparks and Egley also talked about the condition of the ice arena and if the conditions were as bad as what the person who came forward during a previous work session said they were. Egley said that the arena needs work and that the immediate concerns have been addressed.

They also talked about the Parks and the new bridge that was washed over with water in Brush Creek Park, the five dollars that the county receives from the state that is added to the registration, and finally they talked about a couple great events coming up that will show case Beaver County.  If you would like to see Commissioner Egley’s interview this morning on Facebook live click the play button below….

Commissioners Egley and Camp Trade On-Air Barbs During Teleforum

Beaver County Commissioners Sandie Egley and Dan Camp traded on-air barbs during Thursday’s edition of Teleforum on Beaver County Radio. It all began on the monthly segment ‘Ask The Commissioners’, in which Egley was the lone commissioner to show up, with fellow commissioner Tony Amadio on vacation and Camp attending a previously scheduled meeting regarding a new footbridge at Brady’s Run Park. The point of contention came when show host Frank Sparks asked Egley why it is so difficult to find a successor to financial administrator Ricardo Luckow, whom Camp and Amadio decided to fire earlier this year, with Egley giving the dissenting vote. Egley responded to the question by suggesting  that politics likely played a role…

Egley also said her fellow commissioners’ actions may have alienated potential candidates due to fear of job insecurity…

Later that morning, Commissioner Camp called in to the show and was asked the exact same question by Sparks, to which he replied with this rebuttal….

On Friday, the commissioners will conduct a second interview with a financial firm as the search for a replacement for Luckow continues.
