The Easter Bunny has had to come up with new ways to hide its eggs over the course over the last couple years, but that won’t stop the Easter celebration in New Brighton on April 16.
The New Brighton Borough, with the cooperation of Fischer’s New Brighton Foodland, will be holding a drive-thru Easter Egg Hunt on April 16 from 11 AM until 1 PM at the store located on 415 9th Street. Valerie McElvy from We’re At Your Service joined Matt Drzik on the April 7 edition of A.M. Beaver County to talk about the event, which she hopes will put a smile on the face of everyone who attends.
According to McElvy, this is the third such year that the traditional egg hunt has taken the “drive-thru” route, and it has proven to have become a successful event for the Easter season. She also stated that while there is no limitation on the amount of bags per family, she wants families to be honest as they need only to make one trip through the line. New Brighton Police will be assisting with traffic throughout the event.

Pennsylvania State Police have settled a federal lawsuit alleging that troopers routinely and improperly tried to enforce federal immigration law by pulling over Hispanic motorists on the basis of how they looked and detaining those suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. The settlement was announced Wednesday. It pays a total of $865,000 to 10 plaintiffs who alleged that state police discriminated against them and violated their civil rights. State police also agreed to amend their policy to forbid troopers from engaging in civil immigration enforcement. Police did not admit wrongdoing.

ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a juvenile suspect being sought in a shooting that injured another student inside a northwestern Pennsylvania high school has turned himself in to police. Erie police said multiple shots were fired just after 9:20 a.m. Tuesday in a hallway at Erie High School. The injured student was said to be in stable condition. Officials said due to the suspect’s age, only juvenile counts would be filed. Erie High classes have been canceled for the rest of the week with the annual spring break to be observed next week. When classes resume, officials vow “every measure possible” to ensure the safety of students and staff.

With the warmer weather coming to Beaver County (albeit at a glacial rate), the parks in the County are soon to be filled with citizens taking in nature, exercising, or spending time with their pets among other things. And one of those parks may be getting some upgrades.
The issue was brought up by Commissioner Tony Amadio at the Wednesday work session, as he asked Public Works director Dan Colville about the water lines at Brady’s Run Park. Colville had mentioned that he and Waste Management director Holly Vogt met with the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority about the matter. The BFMA informed them that there were no water lines in the back of the park that were available.

“What they’re recommending is that we upgrade our water line going into the park,” Colville stated, “which would be a significant upgrade from what we have now…it would be a significant upgrade to an eight-inch line with some hydrants and fire protection at the [Brady’s Run] Lodge, fire protection for the Four Seasons, and probably an additional one or two more just for blow-off reasons to flush the line out.”
Colville also brought up the necessity for sewage pump upgrades, and Commissioner Amadio was hopeful that the potential upgrades would be done within the window of current ARPA funding: “If we’re gonna do it, or if we’re thinking about doing it, now’s the time.” Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp asked that DPW and the County continue to pursue talks with the BFMA over whether or not their assistance is a necessity or whether the county will move along with potential upgrades on their own.
The Commissioners’ next work session is scheduled for 10:00 AM on April 13.
