(Beaver Falls, PA) Duquesne Light Company paid it forward to a local community after nearly 1,500 customers in the New Brighton and Beaver Falls area lost power on June 30th because of what the company described as a “cable issue.” 

Duquesne Light recently made a $5,000 donation to The Salvation Army of Beaver Falls, which is open Tuesday through Friday. This donation will support its food pantry and the donation was made a week after the incident occurred.  

DLC also noted that there will be a food distribution event at Big Beaver Middle School from 10:30 a.m. to noon on July 25th.

(West Homestead, PA) A new chaperone policy will be implemented starting this week at Sandcastle Waterpark. 

General Manager Richard Spicuzza announced this policy yesterday and it will go into effect on Friday. 

Guests that are 15 years old and younger are now required to be with an adult who is aged 21 or older while they are at the park.  

Spicuzza confirmed that the change at Sandcastle was caused by positive feedback coming from the guests of the park. 

A chaperone can look after six guests who are teenagers that are 15 years old or younger. They need to be present at the park at all times when the teenagers visit, but it is not a requirement for them to accompany the teenagers at all times. 

Spicuzza is also the general manager of Kennywood Park, which implemented the same policy last month because of reports of possible gatherings that were unauthorized.

(Aliquippa, PA) Aliquippa Police Chief John Lane recently released a statement regarding the recent acts of violent crime in Aliquippa, which includes a shooting that hospitalized four people on Sunday at around 12:30 a.m. in the 200 block of Linmar Terrace.

Lane confirmed that his police department is increasing the presence of officers through additional patrols in the area where violent crime has happened and they are working to hold and identify those that are responsible for these violent actions accountable.

The goals of this enforcement are to reassure residents of Aliquippa, deter more violence and respond effectively and quickly to criminal activity.

However, Lane is also asking for the help of the community to get more information on these recent incidents of violence because he states people either do not come forward, become hostile or refuse to cooperate with officers.

If you have any information, you can call the Aliquippa Police Department at 724-375-6682.

You can also dial 911 for emergencies and 724-378-8000 for non-emergencies.
