Day care money stolen
NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- Someone took about $2,400 from the Little People's Day Care on East Washington Street. Police said the money had been locked in a cabinet and was taken sometime overnight from Thursday to Friday. It appears the burglar got in through an open window in the back of the building, police said. The cash was to be used for groceries and fund-raising supplies for the children.
No rinky-dink rink
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A landmark roller skating rink that opened in 1941 -- and doubled as a concert hall for stars such as singer Rosemary Clooney, big-band leader Benny Goodman and drummer Gene Krupa -- is on the market. Louis Torak began managing the Roseland Skating Rink in Johnstown's West End in 1951 after the death of his father-in-law, whose family owned it. Torak bought the rink in 1968, but it's mostly been rented out as a bingo hall since skating's popularity waned in the 1980s. In the decades before that, however, it was a centerpiece of the city's social scene for the younger crowd and hosted amateur wrestling and boxing shows. But for 85-year-old Torak, even renting out the venue has become too much. He's asking $69,900 for the property, which might be used for storage, though it doesn't have a loading zone. The property is being billed as a year-round multiuse facility that could be used for craft shows and other gatherings, said Patty Turjan, the real estate agent handling the property. But there's no way to put a price on the building's intangibles. "There are a lot of memories," Torak said. "We had just about everything that came down the pike."
African drowning victim
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (AP) -- An autopsy confirmed Sunday that a 16-year-old youth from Africa drowned in the swimming hole of a western Pennsylvania Bible camp after his canoe capsized, authorities said. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is investigating the death Saturday of Elijah Nedegwa of Kenya. The teen arrived in Beaver County about six weeks ago, staying with a Christian missionary who met him on a church trip to Africa. Nedegwa planned to attend Beaver County Christian School in the fall. Nedegwa was helping volunteers clean up Saturday morning after a creek flooded at Pine Valley Bible Camp in North Sewickley Township, officials said.
