Suspicious item on exit to Pennsylvania Turnpike in Westmoreland County leads to investigation
For nearly nine hours on Thursday, Pennsylvania State Police closed off the Route 30 westbound ramp to the Pennsylvania Turnpike in North Huntingdon to investigate a suspicious item. If you drove on Route 30 in North Huntington on Thursday, you likely saw multiple unmarked vehicles and state police cruisers on the ramp conducting an investigation. Troopers out of Greensburg said at around 7 a.m., someone came across a suspicious item in a broken box along the road entering the Turnpike ramp. They sent the item to a lab for testing, and out of precaution, police secured the area. Troopers on scene told KDKA that the public was not in any danger. People in the vicinity sent KDKA photos showing police right where drivers get off the Irwin exit and go around the bend, looking over what appears to be a bag tied to a pole. It's unclear if this was the suspicious item or another item police encountered during their search. In the process, the bomb squad brought in special equipment and searched the area with their K9s. Law enforcement kept the ramp blocked off until around 3:45 p.m. on Thursday. KDKA is working to learn more details about this incident. If you saw a wooden box in the area on Thursday morning, you're asked to call the state police in Greensburg at 724-832-3288.

North Huntingdon Township battling squatters parked on old restaurant property
After a three-year, drawn-out court battle to get the Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon condemned and demolished, the township is now dealing with apparent squatters living in a camper on the property. According to neighbors, the camper trailer has been parked on the lot since before the old Rivertowne Pub along Route 30 was condemned and demolished last year. KDKA-TV spoke via phone with Eric Gass, who is the township commissioner for Ward 7, where this blighted strip of land sits. He says this property has been a headache for years and the camper squatters are just the latest issues they have had. "So we have issued a violation notice, we have given them 20 days to resolve everything," Gass said. "Those 20 days started about two or three days ago. And after that, we are going to issue a citation as we plan to abate or have them removed from the property." Gass says the property is currently owned by an LLC that is largely absent from what has been going on, so dealing with this lot has fallen to the township. He says the two big issues are public health and public safety. These squatters are discarding tons of trash, and that trash attracts rodents and disease. And there is reason to believe that some of that trash may be being burned. "You are only allowed to burn certain things on certain times on certain days in the township. There is an ordinance on that," said Gass. "So yeah, there is concern. And if we were going through a dry season, of course you'd be concerned about spillage of that fire, because it is very wooded and that could find itself to the businesses to the left, to the right, as well as the Dusty Rhodes trailer park." The township hopes that this land will be cleared soon and the company that owns it will redevelop it.

Future of Pittsburgh-area agency in limbo after paperwork snafu
A husband and wife came up with the idea for a unique organization that helps socialize and encourage individuals with special needs. Mary Ann and Jim Gerken told KDKA Investigates that their experience with their youngest daughter, who often got left out due to her disability, sparked the idea. But the North Huntingdon parents believe a paperwork snafu now threatens the future of the agency. The organization can't pay its staff or tell anyone involved what's next, so they reached out to KDKA. "Every time we had something done, she'd add something else that we had to do, and we did it right away," said Mary Ann Gerken, owner of Above the Challenge. Above the Challenge offers interactive experiences for individuals on the state's waiver program who are looking to get out and learn life skills. Joey Wasko is one of the 38 individuals served by the program. "The one thing I'm still struggling with is cooking because it's very hard for me to understand the cookbooks and stuff like that. But I'm also trying to get organized," Wasko said. At 29 years old, Wasko from Latrobe relies on Above the Challenge. He's a regular at the group's outings, whether that is grocery shopping, art classes, or socializing at the zoo. Without the agency as a resource, "it would be even more tough for me," he said. Agency owners Mary Ann and Jim Gerken called KDKA Investigates, saying they're suspended by the state currently, and they say paperwork is to blame. "They have the option to shut us down if they don't think that we're compliant after a certain date. But we have all the proof, and we can prove it was in on time," Mary Ann Gerken said. Mary Ann Gerken sent KDKA emails showing a back-and-forth exchange between the Westmoreland County office that handles the necessary paperwork and proof of training, which later gets forwarded to the state. She said a previous employee did miss some deadlines in the past, but she says her new director submitted everything on time. Gerken believes the county failed to forward some documents to the state. "We have dates to prove that she sent them to the county, but the county never sent it to the state, so they think we aren't compliant," Mary Ann Gerken said. Because of that, they say their funding is frozen, the paychecks to staff can't go out, and the Gerkens have already lost one of their 12 employees. Impact of paperwork snafu Employee Ashley Wagner is expecting a baby next month and says she can't wait around. "It just doesn't make any sense," said Wagner. "We've complied with everything in a timely fashion, and it's just a matter of submitting something or making a phone call, simplistic things that are not being done. Therefore, it's putting everybody else through a lot of stress," said Wagner. KDKA Investigates called the Westmoreland County Behavioral Health and Developmental Services Office to ask about the hold up. KDKA heard back from the director of the county's Department of Human Services, who said these decisions are handled at the state level, suggesting KDKA contact the state's Office of Developmental Programs. Meanwhile, the Gerkens say they are now entering week three of no answers, hoping KDKA can help. "Because we need some help and we can't get any answers from ODP," Mary Ann Gerken said. KDKA reached out to the state's Department of Human Services, which oversees ODP. KDKA is waiting to hear back.
