Rescue crews were called after a man’s kayak overturned in Raccoon Creek in Potter Township at around 1 p.m. Sunday.  Police say the man inside the kayak was able to swim to a tree after it flipped and rescue teams from various departments had to pull him out. Police say his friend tried to rescue him and ended up getting his truck stuck in the woods. The kayaker was taken to a hospital to be treated for hypothermia. His condition is unknown at this time.

We now know the identity of the teen killed in a Friday morning crash in Wampum. It happened along Route 18 where troopers say 18-year-old Savannah Smith pulled onto the highway from Route 288 and drove into the path of a tractor-trailer. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene while the driver of the big rig, 41-year-old Chad Tirko, was taken to U-P-M-C Jameson in New Castle for treatment.

An unidentified 34-year-old man was shot on the streets of Aliquippa early Sunday morning. Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano has details. Click on ‘play’ to hear Sandy’s report…

Illegal crossings plunge as US extends policy across border
By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press
Illegal border crossings have plummeted after the Trump administration made more asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court. The drop has been most striking on Arizona’s western border, a pancake-flat desert. Border arrests there fell 94% from May to October. A Border Patrol official says traffic plunged after asylum-seekers learned they couldn’t stay in the U.S. while their cases wound through court. More than 55,000 asylum-seekers were returned to Mexico to wait for hearings through November, 10 months after the policy was introduced in San Diego.

‘Bad Boys for Life’ debuts so good with box office top spot
By JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr. AP Entertainment Writer
“Bad Boys for Life” exceeded expectations coming away with a dominating No. 1 showing at the box office. The Sony Pictures film starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence brought in $59 million in the U.S. and Canada entering the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The action-packed, buddy comedy returned for the franchise’s third installment after a 17-year hiatus with a popular demand. Second place went to “Dolittle,” starring Robert Downey Jr., which opened with a mediocre $22.5 million. Sony Pictures predicted that “Bad Boys” will make around $68 million over the four-day weekend.

No give: Trump’s impeachment defense, prosecutors dig in
By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press
Advocates for and against President Donald Trump are giving no ground in the shadow of his Senate impeachment trial. The president’s defenders are arguing that his pressure on Ukraine broke no U.S., law, so it wasn’t impeachable in the first place. The House Democrats who are prosecuting the abuse and obstruction charges say there need be no crime and that the Constitution defines a higher threshold for impeachment. Before the arguments begin, expect a fight over the structure of the trial when it resumes on Tuesday. Trump denies the charges and has cast himself as a victim of Democrats who want to overturn his 2016 election.
