He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23: 1-6

Hopewell School District public meeting gives update on consolidation project

Story by Sandy Giordano – Beaver County Radio. Published May 20, 2024 9:23 A.M.

(Hopewell Township, Pa) A community meeting was held at Hopewell High School on Saturday in regards to what can be done due to declining enrollment and buildings in need of renovation or upgrades. The feasibility study done shows the district isn’t fully utilizing capacity at the largest buildings.

DRAW Collective architect Dan Engen was on hand to show the options and projected costs for the buildings. Based on the district’s current enrollment, proposals to reduce the buildings from 5 to 2 or 3 have been made.

Superintendent Dr. Jeff Beltz told Beaver County Radio he thinks most residents understand that something needs to be done with the buildings. He said the actions won’t happen overnight, but with delicate planning , phased timing of projects and targeting lower interest rates, something can be done with the buildings. Charts were available for the residents to see and comments were allowed from residents present and online for last Saturday’s meeting.

Further discussion on the matter will be at the Tuesday, June 11, 2024 school board work session at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium when another presentation by DRAW will be made, and residents can see and hear what options are available.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have acquired right-hander Roansy Contreras from the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash. The Pirates designated the 24-year-old Contreras for assignment on Saturday to create room on the roster for Paul Skenes ahead of the prized pitcher’s major league debut against the Cubs. Contreras was acquired as part of the trade that sent pitcher Jameson Taillon to the Yankees in January 2021. He has struggled most of the past two seasons and was out of options. A starter for much of his first three seasons, he has been working out of the bullpen this year. He is 1-0 with a 4.41 ERA in 12 appearances. Contreras is 9-12 with a 4.83 ERA in 30 starts and 23 relief outings over four big league seasons.
