DARLINGTON Firefighters are investigating the cause of a Monday blaze that destroyed a treasured Beaver County church.
Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, on Market Street in Darlington, was consumed by smoke and flames just after 5 a.m. Monday. Fire crews from Darlington, Chippewa Township, Beaver Falls, South Beaver and other nearby departments battled the fire for hours, closing Market Street.
Crews are still investigating the fire’s cause. No injuries were reported.
The building, located at 718 Market St., is likely a total loss following a roof collapse and extensive interior damage, authorities said. The fire destroyed the sanctuary, including a recently donated organ worth $70,000, parishioners said. Little Beaver Helping Hands held meetings at the decades-old church, too.
BEAVER FALLS – While students at the Blackhawk School District are itching to get out of school for the summer, a number of their parents and neighbors are competing to get into it.
Municipal primary elections are scheduled for May 18 and all three of the regional races for Blackhawk School Board director are going to be tight, with every candidate running as both a Democrat and Republican.
Region 1
Two candidates are running for one, four-year seat as Blackhawk School Board director for Region 1. Incumbent Neil Morrison, the current school board president, is facing newcomer Lynn Kalcevic in the race.
Morrison, 63, of South Beaver Township, said he has a proven record of serving the district and wants a chance to continue that.
