A small ceiling collapse in the Blacklick Valley School District leads to a year of the auditorium being shut down.

Our Emily Marines has more on why this happened. And the repair work underway.

It happened last October.

A piece of the auditorium ceiling here at Blacklick Valley Junior-Senior High School fell in.

The auditorium has since been closed due to the discovery of Asbestos.

Superintendent Bill Kanich says that after it was discovered that the piece of ceiling fell down they had it tested for Asbestos.

After the tests came back positive he says that they had the air quality tested inside and outside of the auditorium.

He says that Servpro then came in to abate the air in the auditorium and based off of that they knew that the air was safe inside of the building because the ventilation in the aditorium is not attached to the rest of the school.

He says that an abatement team recomended that they shut the auditorium down for the year for safety purposes.

Kanich says an engineering team put a bid out for general contracting and the abatement.

The abatement took place this summer and now the auditorium is in the construction phase.

Kannich says that they faced several challenges throughout the process including the process of moving ceremonies and events to other locations.

"I will say that the staff, they were just fantastic through all this with being able to move things and being very cooperative. They just sort of went with it and made the best out of a difficult situation and the kids were even
better because they weren't even phased by it."

On Wednesday Night the school board approved two payments to Mid-State Construction Inc one for just over %49,000 and the other for just over $146,000.

Kanich says that they have been working with insurance companies to offset the cost but they are still working through the process.

He says the auditorium is to be finished this November.

We’re getting an update on the Cambria County man hospitalized with West Nile Virus, as well as efforts underway in a local borough to mitigate the spread.

At today’s meeting, Vintondale Borough Council President Pam Smith says that the man with West Nile is moving out of intensive care, to a specialty hospital for recovery.

Meanwhile, borough officials are looking to address stagnent water in abondoned acid mine drainage ponds, which are becoming breeding grounds for mosquitos.

Smith says that she has been in contact with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation.

They told her there are no permits right now for the drainage ponds so the borough can reclaim them.

She says they are looking at applying for grant funding to pay to fill the ponds back in and repurpose the land.

Now as to how this happened, councilman Justin Fredrick says the people who built the mine in the early 2000’s abandoned it in 2005.

He says that there are documents with promises of maintenance for those ponds and promises of money to be set aside for that but says that never happened.

"It was just promises made that weren't kept and it was abandoned as soon as it was made. As soon as it was completed there was nothing. So they all got their pictures and magazine articles and that was it. And I mean I heard one
of the people said like it was basically a failed project shortly after it was complete."

Vintondale Borough is still working on a solution to getting the drainage ponds filled and fixing the mosquito issue in the borough.

The Poster Child for the Death Penalty. That's how prosecutors characterized the case against Paul Kendrick for the murder of Sergeant Mark Baserman in 2018.

In a Somerset County Courtroom this morning family members of the slain Corrections Officer entered the court room, most dressed in some shade of Purple. In sharp contrast to the prison orange of the convicted.

The judge upheld the jury's findings and sentenced Kendrick to a Second Consecutive Life Sentence and Death Row on count one of the indictment. District Attorney Molly Metzgar says he was given every chance at redemption.

"There's reports of drug dealing at 12 years old, shooting at the cops in the 15th, moves on to burglary and finally first degree murder of a complete string jury on a basketball court. If you ate from north view, you got to die
is the quote from that trial."

Pennsylvania currently has a moratorium on executions. Kendrick does have the right to appeal and that appeal would go directly to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

A Clearfield County man continues facing a Federal Jury for his alleged involvement in killing a woman with a homemade bomb in 2019.

Today is day two of his trial.

Brock Owens was in the courtroom and has the latest on evidence presented in the case.

We know Kris Nevling's Federal Trial is expected to go at least a few more days here at Johnstown's Federal Courthouse.

But today though the majority of evidence remains to be experts talking about the explosive itself rather than Nevling's alleged involvement. But did dig into an alleged accomplice's involvement.

Investigators accuse Nevling of dropping a package off at Shanna Carlson's home along East Market Street in Clearfield Borough. And they say the package later exploded killing Carlson and destroying the apartment building she lived in.

A destructive device expert with the ATF testified today that the bomb was built to be activated by Carlson and had both high level and low-level explosives.

Officials say Nevling in one interview with investigators described the bomb. But say what he described could not have possibly created the destruction that occurred.

Another Clearfield County Man Clint Addleman is also charged in this case though he's not currently on trial.

He's accused of conspiring with Nevling.

Two people who say they used to buy Methamphetamine from Addleman testify that Addleman showed them blasting caps he had in his home. Which is a possibility for what was used in this case.

Addleman allegedly told them it was bomb parts that could cause large destruction.

Addleman also allegedly told a friend of his who testified today he told them about the bomb and asked his friend to write on the box but they declined.

The friend says they never saw any pictures of the package the bomb was allegedly delivered in. But it did have writing on it.

What was not established today was a relationship between Nevling and Addleman because nobody testified they saw the two together.

Proceedings will pick back up tomorrow morning.

Officials with the U.S. Attorney's Office expect the trial to last until mid next week.
