Kittanning Man Jailed Follow-ing Traffic Stop in HarMar
The West Kittanning Fire Department will hold Community Appreciation Night to-
night, July 11, at their fire hall on Arthur Street. The festivities will begin at 7PM with a musical concert by the KittanningCommunity Band.
"We've done this since the late 80s," Bernie Bowser Jr. said. "It started with firemen's band and has moved to the community band."
Bowser said fire department volunteers will be grilling hot dogs and have beverages avail-able at no cost after the concert.

A standard traffic stop on Route
28 resulted in find-ing a Kittanning man who was wanted on a probation warrant.

Police Issues Run Up Legal Fees in Ford City...
Police Trooper Jeremy Bowser said that when the traffic stop was initiated on Route 28 in Harmar Township, Allegheny County, Michael Dongilli, 39, fled from the traffic stop on foot. He was apprehended and placed in the Armstrong County Jail based on the active warrant from the Armstrong County Probation Department.
It was the end of May when Council broke silence about the abrupt resignation of
the Ford City Police Chief Paul Hughes. Hughes was gone as of April 29, leading
to rumors and speculation. Council Vice-President Tyson Klukan
went out on a limb during the May 28, 2019 public work session to give his opin-ion about the borough's police department.
"We have had three chiefs in three years," Klukan admitted. "Yes, mistakes were made. If you say there isn't a problem, you would be lying."
Councilwoman Beth Bowser followed up at the June 10 public meeting and gave additional details.
"There were allegations of misconduct made against him by at least three outgoing officers," she said. "Council did not know of the outcome of the allegations, if they
were true or not, because of his immediate response to resign."
According to Bowser, Council brought in a team of lawyers to provide special le-gal counsel. At the July 8 public meeting, the public was informed of the cost of le-gal representation. The Pittsburgh law firm of Campbell, Durrant, Beatty, Palombo, & Miller, which specializes in public sector, labor and employment law in Pennsylva-nia, charged the Borough $7,045.76 in an invoice dated June 7.
When former councilman Jerry Miklos questioned Council regarding the expense, Council President Carol Fenyes gave ex-planation.
“It is for personnel,” she told Miklos. “It has to do with the police chief and a griev-ance filed by a street worker.”
Fenyes confirmed that the current legal firm retained by the Borough in the position of Solicitor, Babst, Calland, Clements, and Zomnir, handled labor issues in the past.
“We were not satisfied with the represen-tation,” Fenyes said, “so we sought other representation.”
According to financial records, Babst, Calland, Clements, and Zomnir handled a variety of issues, including unidentified la-bor and employment representation in May, with total cost to the Borough of $6,409.70.
Ford City continues to have limited staff in its police department. In June, an im-promptu hiring that would have moved part-time officer Chris Arthur to a full-time position resulted in Arthur turning down the offer. In July, Council voted to hire Jason Hufhand to the full-time position. There is no confirmation that Hufhand accepted the offer yet.
