Trigger has been at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter on Long Island, New York for three years. He is a 4-year-old pitbull mix that shelter volunteers say has been looked over time and time again. There are more than 200 dogs at the shelter, and Sept. 11 marked Trigger's three-year anniversary there. According to employees at the shelter, he is a gentle dog who wants nothing more than a home of his own. Trigger knows commands and is very responsive to training. Those at the shelter says he is gentle with taking treats, loves to play ball, and also loves attention that people give him. Trigger needs to be the only pet and should not be in a home with other animals. He has been at the shelter so long that he no longer interacts well with other …

The American Red Cross has sent several volunteers from the South Hills of Pittsburgh to the places hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy. The Red Cross announced that it sent five volunteers, including a woman from Heidelberg, to Morgantown last week to help people affected by the large snowfall in the rural areas of West Virginia. Rose Marie Malizio of Heidelberg, Lauren Pucci of the South Hills, Cindy Chmel of Claysville, Ken Brown of South Hills, and John Breitweiser of South Park, were sent to West Virginia on Oct. 31. That area suffered severe power outages from the heavy snowfall, prompting many residents in rural areas to evacuate to shelters until electricity was restored. The Red Cross has mobilized 1,700 disaster workers from all over…
This past weekend, AOL and Patch employees took an opportunity to pitch in, packing two tractor-trailers worth of food, water and supplies to the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy.
It's been said it's far better to have a neighbor who's near, than a brother who's far away, but in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Americans across the nation have proven to be the best neighbors and the strongest of families. This past weekend, AOL and Patch employees took an opportunity to pitch in, packing two tractor trailers worth of food, water and supplies in Dulles, VA, and Baltimore. The donations are headed to Hurricane Sandy ravaged areas in New Jersey and Long Island. Want to join the relief efforts?

It should come as no surprise that this week’s top news stories were dominated by Hurricane Sandy coverage. And while our friends along the East Coast took the brunt of the punishment, people in the Pittsburgh area were just as interested and concerned about how the unusual superstorm would affect us here. The top story of the week (and month, for that matter) was about most South Hills communities rescheduling Trick-or-Treating to Saturday. Only Carnegie kept it on the traditional Halloween night. Other top stories included forecasting when Sandy would hit the Pittsburgh area and the aftermath of it passing through western Pennsylvania. Two more stories included downed trees and powerlines that closed a Bridgeville road for hours and a …

Despite heavy rain from Superstorm Sandy that pounded western Pennsylvania overnight, the Chartiers Creek is holding its banks and causing “no problems.” Heidelberg and Carnegie, both of which sustained heavy flooding when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan rolled through in 2004, reported no rising waters or damage. “No problems, no issues,” Heidelberg Borough Manager Joe Kauer said. “It’s actually kind of cresting. I was taken back by that.” Water gauges placed along the Chartiers Creek near Heidelberg showed the water cresting just above 5 feet around 6 a.m. Tuesday. However, the flood stage for that area of the creek is 20 feet. The creek is noticeably higher than the summer when near drought conditions dried some areas to it sandy bed. …

Wine & Spirits stores across Pennsylvania are set to reopen on Wednesday, according to state officials.
Wine & Spirits stores across Pennsylvania are set to reopen on Wednesday, according to state officials. An original report that stated the stores were scheduled to reopen Tuesday afternoon was incorrect. The store normally opens at 9:30 a.m. on weekdays. The state stores closed early Monday at 3 p.m. ahead of Hurricane Sandy.
That includes 650 Duquesne Light customers who are still without power Tuesday morning.
As Pennsylvania cleans up from the damage caused by Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Tom Corbett said 1.3 million customers are without power Tuesday morning, mostly in the southeastern part of the commonwealth. That includes 650 Duquesne Light customers who are still without power Tuesday morning. The power company expected all customers to have electricity before midnight Tuesday. Although the storm was not as bad as it could have been for Pennsylvania, Corbett said neighboring New Jersey and New York were hit hard and he will reach out this morning to the governors of those states to offer resources such as medical personnel and shelter help. "If we have resources available, we will make it available" to those hard-hit states, Corbett said. At a …
