Hundreds flocked to a cook out Thursday in Bellevue to protest the borough's ban on grilling near homes and buildings.
Charlene Kinyanjui had no idea a protest on Bellevue's grilling ban was even happening in her town Thursday until she saw the large cook-out gathered in the streets outside the borough building. She was one of hundreds who attended the “Grill-abration,” the name given to Thursday's demonstration opposing a Bellevue ordinance that contains language preventing grilling within 5-feet of a residence, porch or combustible materials, for safety reasons. “I think it’s taking away some of our rights,” Kinyanjui, 58, complained. Bellevue Mayor George Doscher said he vetoed the law, but council overrode his veto 6-3 last week. For many residents whose homes are built close together, it means no cook-outs unless citizens obtain one-time open burning…

BeanThru opens Dec. 5 with an array of offerings, from lattes, mochas and macchiatos to a house-blend coffee brewed specifically for customers.
Morning coffee is a ritual for some and BeanThru expects to cater to those connoisseurs of fine coffee when it opens on Monday, Dec. 5. Joy Jenny and Joe Rostan have been working for quite some time to open their drive-thru-only cafe at 4221 Ohio River Blvd., or Route 65, the location formerly operated as Mocha Mountain. Originally planning to open on the inbound side of Route 51 in Brentwood, BeanThru switched gears and opted to purchase the Mocha Mountain location in Bellevue when it was put up for sale earlier this year. “Going with the already built turnkey operation offered us a shorter turnover time than what we were looking at in Brentwood,” said Rostan, 36, of Avalon. “Much of the preliminary work was already done for us, such as…

Searchers who began walking roads and wooded areas about 11 a.m. looked for a purple Cricket phone case with flowers, a black cloth purse with white skulls and a pair of glasses with pink speckles.
About 75 people gathered at the Brighton Road Giant Eagle Saturday morning to help in the search for Jamie Nichole Peterson, a Ross Township mother who has been missing for two weeks. Peterson, 30, hasn't been seen by friends or family since Monday, Sept. 26. Her mother, Darlene Peterson, reported her missing after her children, a 9-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl, returned home from school and couldn't find her. Searchers began walking roads and wooded areas about 11 a.m. roughly between Route 65 and Perry Highway — narrowing in on the borough of Bellevue and the Seville neighborhood of Ross Township. They worked in groups of two and four. The family asked searchers to look in particular for a purple Cricket phone case with flowers, a …

Clean Water Action members call on Allegheny County executive to honor a pledge and improve air quality in the county.
Some Ohio River Valley residents say Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato has not kept his word. Julie St. John of Clean Water Action said Onorato pledged a year and a half ago to tour communities near Neville Island and to hear their concerns about pollution from industries there. Area residents on Wednesday went to the county courthouse steps in Downtown Pittsburgh, where they asked the public to urge Onorato to honor that pledge and to improve air quality in the county. St. John said her community group has delivered letters and left phone messages for Onorato, but he has not responded. “So this is our next step, getting folks on the street aware of what's going on and asking them to call Onorato, tell him what they want to see,” …
