The Aliquippa boys basketball team played for the Piaa 2A state championship against Lancaster mennonite and played better than the final score would indicate, Lancaster’s 6 foot 7 inch big man David Weaver scores first and quips DJ Walker tied it up at 2. Aliquippa found their selves down early 8 to 2 called timeout to talk about it. D.J. Walker the only Quip to score so far getting shots blocked turning it over and had the big David Weaver hitting 3 pointers yes the kind of night it was for Aliquippa, the Quips did show that they were in the game to the very end when they had to fowl and hope for the best. Tiki Hayes gets a rebound and is fowled he goes to the line and makes one the score is 13 to 9 the Quips coming back then D.J Walker took a pass from Quinton Goode and makes a layup to start the second quarter then Cam Lyndsey gets a layup for his first points of the game to get the Quips within 4 17to 13. then the Quips were trailing 20 to 15 and Cam Lyndsey gets a bucket to make 23 to 19 Quinton Goode hits his first 3 to make it 25 to 22 and that’s the half not bad all and all. To start the third D. J. Walker puts some moves on going right then left and he scores 25 to 24 Quips then D.J. Walker kicks the ball out to Tiki Hayes he scores and gets Quips first lead of the game28 to 27. that’s about all the closer it would be their sharp shooting Camden Hurst went and hit a 3 to get the only lead back that Aliquippa would have Aliquippa tried everything in their bag of tricks that has worked before but sometimes its just your night and the other team just cant miss but silver 2 years in a row is not bad at all that’s why they play the games.

Story by Curtis Walsh – Beaver County Radio News Director. Published March 24, 2023
(New Brighton, PA) For years, New Brighton residents have long talked about a tunnel below the Merrick Art Gallery. The tunnel was said to help runaways to safehouses during the Underground Railroad and was believed to be situated between the Merrick Art Gallery and the Edgar House across the street and was said to be sealed off at some point in time. As reported by Scott Tady of the Beaver County Times, a new discovery was just made. A tunnel was unearthed below the Merrick during sewage repair work. An opening was dug out and revealed a 5 foot tall, and around 150 feet long tunnel. Michelle Long, Director of the Merrick Art Gallery, told the Beaver County Times that they aren’t positive just yet that this tunnel had involvement in the Underground Railroad, but they suspect it did and are working to get to the bottom of it. The tunnel may be another route that was unknown until now.
New Brighton has had a rich history in the Underground Railroad. Many homes still standing in the town have been identified as safe houses for runaways. The homes contain secret rooms and false walls. Abolitionist Frederick Douglas was known to speak at the First Presbyterian Church of New Brighton. The New Brighton Historical society has a list of significant properties in New Brighton involved in the Underground Railroad, and they offer walking tours on occasion.
It would be quite the discovery to find out what purpose the tunnel served and hopefully answers will be available soon. Who knows what else may be hiding underground New Brighton just waiting to be uncovered.

BEIRUT (AP) — The Pentagon says a strike Thursday by a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded five American troops and another contractor in northeast Syria. American forces said they retaliated soon after with “precision airstrikes” in Syria targeting facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, with activist groups saying the hits killed at least four. The exchange threatens to upend recent efforts to deescalate tensions across the Middle East, whose rival powers have made steps toward détente in recent days after years of turmoil. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the American intelligence community had determined the drone was of Iranian origin, but offered no other immediate evidence to support the claim.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pennsylvania woman linked to a far-right extremist movement has been sentenced to three years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol and invading then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with other rioters. The judge who sentenced Riley June Williams on Thursday also presided over her trial last year. Williams was charged but not convicted of helping steal a laptop from Pelosi’s office suite during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021. A jury convicted Williams in November of six charges, including a felony count of civil disorder. But it deadlocked on two other counts, including “aiding and abetting” the laptop’s theft.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Anti-gun violence advocates rallied and packed a legislative hearing in Pennsylvania, where a politically divided government has fought firearms policy to a virtual standstill for decades and rising gun violence has gripped Philadelphia. Thursday’s March For Our Lives rally marks its fifth anniversary since its inception after a 2018 mass shooting at a Florida high school. Hundreds are expected at Thursday’s rally in Harrisburg, which coincides with rallies this week in Florida, Michigan, California and Texas. Pennsylvania’s Legislature hasn’t seriously entertained any new gun restrictions since 2018. But this year a one-seat Democratic majority has taken over the House and is kicking off this session’s debate over gun violence.
