(Middletown, PA) The Pennsylvania Turnpike’s new super snow plow was recently given a new name after a naming contest for it was held between March 4th-11th, 2026. The huge 550-horsepower tri-drive truck that the Turnpike is using is now called “Plow Force One,” which received 400 votes from the public. Turnpike officials confirm that over 140,000 social media users engaged in the contest to name the truck that can clear a path that is 27 feet wide in one pass combined. The public submitted almost 1,200 suggestions for names and after the submissions closed on February 25th, 2026, the top five names were selected. The winning name of “Plow Force One” was chosen over the other nominees of “Big Leplowski,” “Darth Blader,” “Optimus Plow,” and “Sir Plows-A-Lot.”

(Beaver County, PA) Two farms in Beaver and Somerset Counties will be preserved for farming because the state of Pennsylvania has recently purchased the development rights to those properties. The Shapiro administration announced last month that state and county governments bought the development rights to 25 farms in 17 counties, which invested $7.1 million under Pennsylvania’s Farmland Preservation Program to ensure that the 1,905 acres of land that are included on those farms would be used for agricultural purposes and would not be sold to residential or commercial developers. The development rights on a 62-acre crop and livestock farm in Hanover Township in Beaver County that are owned by William McNary Jr. and Deborah K. McNary, were purchased for $234,140, using funds from the state of Pennsylvania. The development rights on a 125-acre crop and livestock farm in Somerset Township in Somerset County that are owned by Tim E. Bell, Thomas E. Bell and Suzanne K. Bell, were purchased by state and local governments for $187,104, with the state of Pennsylvania paying $181,635 and Somerset County paying $5,469. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, agriculture contributes $132.5 billion to the economy of Pennsylvania and supports almost 600,000 jobs there.

(Allegheny County, PA) Police are searching for a suspect after a homeowner was shot multiple times during a home invasion in Verona Borough last night. This occurred at a house along Vogels Lane at around 10:30 p.m. According to police, when officers arrived at the home, they found a man who had been shot multiple times. He was taken to a Pittsburgh-area hospital and Allegheny County police stated that their Homicide Unit was called and the man who was shot was last said to be in stable condition. Verona Borough Chief Thomas Dessell noted that the preliminary investigation into the shooting confirms that it is “a targeted incident and does not appear to be a random act of violence,” and he also expressed that there is no broad, ongoing threat to the public. Anyone with information or anyone who saw anything unusual around Vogels Lane or in that area is asked to contact the Verona Borough Police Department at 412-828-6034 or call the Allegheny County Police Tip Line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS.

Arnett was transported to AHN Forbes Hospital because of a suspected minor injury that she suffered from that crash.
