SEWICKLEY — See “Wicked For Good,” savor animal puns galore in “Zootopia 2” and get ready for Friday’s “SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants”  premiere. 

An ode to the original Neil Diamond tribute, and holiday classics like  “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Elf,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (live action) and “Christmas in Connecticut” are other movie options this December at The Lindsay Theater in Sewickley.

Everyone’s favorite aquatic pineapple dweller hits the big screen again Friday in “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.” The Hollywood Reporter says, “The Bikini Bottom crew triumphs in another rollicking undersea comedy,” adding the animated film “easily delivers another rib-tickling, delightfully frantic fourth installment of the series.”

(Washington, D.C.) According to a release in Washington D.C. today from Congressman Chris Deluzio’s office, Congressmen Deluzio (PA-17) and Mike Rulli (OH-06) introduced the Protecting Supplemental Security Income for Disaster Victims Act, legislation to ensure that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients do not lose or have their benefits reduced when they receive settlement payments after a tragedy, like the February 3rd, 2023 Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. This bill ensures that settlement payments are exempt from them being counted as income or as resources when determining eligibility for SSI and the amounts for benefits. The bill is aligned with guidance from the IRS on the treatment of settlement funds for tax purposes and covers both the East Palestine derailment settlement and any settlements in the future received for damage or depreciation of property, personal injury, or physical sickness.

(Chippewa, PA) A major water break occurred in the area of Chippewa this morning that caused low water pressure there. This shut down Route 51 because a contractor hit one of the main lines in that area. The Beaver Falls Municipal Authority is dispatching someone out so the problem can be fixed and the water can be shut off, so it can be isolated to begin repairs on the break. An investigation is also currently occurring to find out where the water came from.
