Ambridge 'flips the switch' on new rooftop solar system

Ambridge is the latest Beaver County site to incorporate solar power into its municipal building. Local leaders flipped the switch officially Nov. 5 on the rooftop system at the municipal complex, facilitated through the Rural Innovation through Solar Empowerment (RISE) project in partnership between nonprofits RiverWise, The PA Solar Center and New Sun Rising to accelerate solar adoption in communities throughout Beaver County. The RISE Project began as a two-year initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energizing Rural Communities Prize. EIS Solar of Carnegie installed Ambridge’s 130.9-kilowatt solar system, which was paid for in part by an Environmental Mitigation Community Fund grant. The borough was also able to leverage a 40 percent federal renewable energy tax credit for the project. The solar panels will offset approximately 100 percent of the combined annual energy consumption of the borough facilities at 600 11th St. and 533 Merchant St. EIS Solar estimates the solar array will save Ambridge taxpayers about $509,000 over the next 25 years. “The Borough of Ambridge is delighted to celebrate this milestone with the community and the RISE Project partners,” said Mario Leone Jr., borough manager. “We look forward to reallocating the savings from our electric bill

A 22-year-old man killed Friday night on Interstate 80 in Centre County was a first-year medical student at the University of Pittsburgh.

Mt. Lebanon deaths leave parents facing tough talks with kids

Children in Mount Lebanon may continue to experience fear, trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating in the weeks after the deaths of a father and his two young children, according to a child psychologist who says parents should talk openly with their children about the tragedy. On Nov. 3, 42-year-old Patrick Lynch and his children, 8-year-old James Lynch and 6-year-old Caroline Lynch, died after an apparent fall from the parking garage behind the Mount Lebanon municipal building, according to a community announcement. Authorities later ruled the children's deaths homicides and their father's death a suicide, according to USA TODAY. The deaths have prompted an outpouring of support in Mount Lebanon. “This morning, we continue to offer our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and anyone touched by the tragedy in Mt. Lebanon yesterday,” the municipality wrote in a mtlebanon.org statement. Officials said seeing neighbors reach out to one another was providing “solace on this sad day” and thanked first responders for their efforts. For children who knew the family, attend schools in the community or have repeatedly encountered coverage online, however, the effects may continue beyond the immediate aftermath.
