Its engine stationed in Fallston reported a header shortly after calling enroute. A tanker was requested as reports began coming in of a fully involved semi. The fire was extinguished very quickly, and it was contained to the semi.

(Hollywood, CA) Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter school graduate Ashley Marina did not move on to the next round of the NBC reality singing competition show, “The Voice: Battle of Champions.” The eighteen-year-old barista from Pittsburgh sang in the battle rounds as a member of John Legend’s team and sang a duet with another member of her team, Syd Millevoi. The duo performed Mariah Carey’s “Love Takes Time.” Millevoi, a twenty-three-year-old student and wedding singer from Secaucus, New Jersey, won the battle. Marina moved on to the battle rounds because at least one of the three coaches of “The Voice: Battle of Champions” wanted her on her team during her blind audition at Universal Studios in Hollywood, California. Singer John Legend shared thoughts about the battle and why he picked Millevoi: “Ashley and Syd are both very talented, but Syd is just a phenomenal performer. She hit some of the highest notes you will ever hear an artist sing, and she does it effortlessly which is phenomenal. She belongs in the finale of this show. She’s special.”

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Mike Clevinger’s career reset with the Pittsburgh Pirates is going to start in the minors.
The club reassigned the veteran right-handed pitcher to minor league camp on Monday. The 35-year-old, who agreed to a minor league deal with Pittsburgh in early February, went 1-0 with a 5.02 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings of work during spring training, starting in two games and serving as a reliever in two others.
Clevinger is 60-44 with a 3.55 ERA across nine seasons with Cleveland, San Diego and the Chicago White Sox. He has dealt with injuries in recent seasons and struggled with the White Sox last spring after being moved to the bullpen. He bounced back after returning to the rotation with Triple-A Charlotte. Clevinger went 7-3 with a 4.20 ERA and 93 strikeouts in 22 starts in the minors last summer.
The Pirates have a young rotation led by reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes, veteran Mitch Keller and rookie Bubba Chandler, who went 4-1 during a stint in the majors at the end of last season.
Clevinger was eyeing a spot either at the back end of the rotation or as a long reliever. Pittsburgh instead went with Carmen Mlodzinski as their fifth starter and Jose Urquidy and Hunter Barco in middle-inning relief roles.
Clevinger’s best days came with Cleveland from 2017-19, when he was 38-18 with a 2.91 ERA.

He was the son of the late Mary Imogene Howard and Murray McKnight Howard, who loved him very much and who Richard loved so dearly. He married Marilynn Ann Campbell on June 23rd, 1972, and enjoyed 53 years of a marriage that was truly blessed by God. Throughout Richard’s work-life that began at age fourteen with a work permit, he was employed by: Farmer’s Pride Inc., Gateway Fruit Company, Glenshaw Glass Company, Etna High School, Brody Brothers Inc., and Zeiden’s Men’s Clothing; which he and Marilynn bought from Louis Zeiden in 1986.

He and Marilynn both studied music education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). A series of chronic illnesses prohibited him from receiving his degree. However, he was able to provide several churches with the fruits of music education for him serving as Choir Director for First Methodist Church in Punxsutawney, First Methodist Church in Indiana, Pennsylvania, First Presbyterian Church in Beaver Falls and Christ Anglican Church in New Brighton. He had a love-based faith to lead all the music programs and to use his vocal abilities to serve in church choirs where he attended. He faithfully served God and Jesus Christ. He was a kind, generous, compassionate man who looked at each person as a child of God. The family is grateful for the care and support by the entire staff at Allegheny General Hospital throughout his hospitalization and final days.

Private interment will follow at Grandview Cemetery, 139 Norwood Drive, Beaver Falls. Prior to his death, one of the last projects Richard was working on was to establish, “The Richard E & Marilynn A Howard Foundation,” a charitable organization for the non-profit River Communities Fiduciary Service. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to this foundation.

(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, a source confirms that the Pittsburgh Steelers signed former Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that he signed with the Steelers today. Homer serves more as a special teams player than as a running back, because he had just one carry in 2025 in 10 games. He has 90 rushing attempts and one touchdown for his career since he was drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks out of the University of Miami (Florida). The signing of Homer marks the second running back the Steelers have signed this offseason because they also acquired two-time 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle during the first week of the 2026 NFL free agency.
