At a meeting late Monday afternoon at the Center Township Municipal Building, the Board of Supervisors granted the liquor license transfer from the former Main Street Bar in Aliquippa to the Cinemark Cinemas location on Wagner Road in Monaca.
Paul Namey, the same lawyer who spoke on behalf of Sheetz recently in a similar case, spoke on behalf of Cinemark USA at the meeting. He alerted the board of supervisors, as well as those in attendance, that approval of the transfer did not automatically mean that the theater will start selling alcohol immediately:
Matt Dunn also spoke on behalf of Cinemark USA, and he emphasized that the selling of alcohol would not be a call to rowdiness or dive bar-like atmospheres, but simply is an extra luxury that would be available for a small part of Cinemark’s core audience:
Dunn, in response to a question by Center police chief Barry Kramer, said that the Cinemark location would sell beer and wine, as well as frozen mixed drinks that contain liquor. He mentioned the average price of such drinks range from $6 to $9.
Stay tuned to Beaver County Radio for further details on the development of this story.
WASHINGTON – Congressman Keith Rothfus (PA-12) delivered the following remarks on the House floor to commemorate U.S. Army Private First Class Warren Goss on his induction into France’s Legion of Honour, France’s highest order of merit for military and civil merits:
Mr. Speaker,
“I rise to recognize U.S. Army Private First-Class Warren Goss.
“A Western Pennsylvania native, Warren answered the call to defend his country and joined the U.S. Army in July of 1943 at the age of 18.
“He was deployed to the European Theater where he underwent training for the D-Day invasions as a rifleman.
“Under heavy enemy fire and without air support, Warren and his fellow comrades were some of the first soldiers to bravely storm the beaches of Normandy, succeeding in their mission to secure a German communications tower.
“Afterwards, Warren was transferred to the 70th Division’s 274th K Company, where he continued to fight in France and across Europe until the end of the war.
“Upon returning home, Warren met his wife, Mary, and fathered two daughters, Rhonda and Paula.
“For his heroic actions to liberate France, Warren was recently made a Chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honour, France’s highest order of merit for military and civil merits.
“Congratulations, Warren, on receiving this distinct honor and thank you for your valiant and selfless service to our nation.”
