HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Seven additional Pennsylvania government agencies will provide voter registration forms. The expansion comes under a new order being signed Wednesday by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf. The executive order requires the materials and information be available to the public through agencies within the Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources, Corrections, Education, Labor and Industry, Military and Veterans Affairs and State departments. It means those who want to vote can start the process at Farm Show events, state parks, libraries and elsewhere. Visitors to the designated areas will be able to get official voter registration mail applications, envelopes and instructions about how to send them in.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman’s campaign says he’ll participate in just one debate. The campaign said Wednesday that Fetterman would participate in a televised debate in mid- to late October. It comes after weeks of his Republican rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz, pressuring Fetterman and aggressively questioning the severity of his lingering health problems from a stroke he suffered in May. As the general election grows closer, Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon and political novice, has begun stepping up his questioning of Fetterman’s fitness for office. Fetterman’s campaign has said Oz’s insistence on a debate is “about mocking John for having a stroke.”

Twenty-one years later, the efforts to memorialize the events of September 11, 2001 remain consistent–and in some ways are growing stronger.
One event that has been showcasing such efforts returns to Beaver on Sunday, September 11, as “Let’s Roll 9/11” will be taking place in Beaver beginning at 3:00 PM. The site for the day’s festivities will be the gazebo at Irvine Park, and attendees for the free event are asked to bring lawn chairs and umbrellas if necessary. If the umbrellas become too necessary, the event will be held at nearby Park Presbyterian indoors.
Two of the event’s organizers, Charles Jones and Diane Brosius, joined Matt Drzik on the September 7 edition of A.M. Beaver County to discuss all of the activity that will be held in Beaver this Sunday–including several guest speakers and musicians. There will be a 50/50 raffle as well as donation opportunities for those who want to donate to relief efforts. For further information about how to donate or the event, you can contact Charles Jones at (724)-407-8436 or Bob Gwin at (724)-777-7772.
