(Aliquippa, PA) The Beaver County Humane Society is asking for the help of its community as they care for 23 dogs rescued on January 25th from an Aliquippa residence as part of an investigation into alleged animal cruelty and dogfighting. According to criminal complaints filed against two men on March 17th by Aliquippa City Police, many of the dogs had serious facial, teeth and limb injuries, some of which required surgery, as well as puncture wounds in various stages of healing and some infected. The animals have received veterinary care and are being cared for by the staff of the animal shelter, but their costs have already exceeded $50,000, straining its finances as it continues to care for them and the other animals living at the shelter. Monetary donations can be made at beavercountyhumanesociety.org, which is where you can find information about business hours and more. Purchases of “wish list” items and gift cards can be made online or dropped off at the Center Township shelter.

(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.”

Pirates send veteran pitcher Mike Clevinger to the minors after a so-so spring training

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.
