Former workers receive $33 each
About 1,600 former steelworkers or their surviving spouses in Western Pennsylvania are set to receive roughly $33 each from a $500,000 bank account found in the bankrupt Sharon Steel Co. The money, once earmarked for administrative and attorney fees under bankruptcy rules, was partially redirected after union lobbying to benefit retirees owed pensions.

Appeals court upholds 30 year sentence for New Castle man
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the federal judge was reasonable in sentencing Kelly Hardy, 41, of 142 Park Ave. to 30 years after he pled guilty in 2009 to transporting and receiving child pornography. Authorities seized 17 computers, 60 hard drives, disks and videos during a 2009 raid, and a juvenile relationship in Missouri contributed to the term. He remains in custody with mandatory mental health and sex offender treatment and life federal probation.
