Gudyk family recalls arson fire that destroyed three homes
Robert Gudyk and his two sons ran to Shaw Street after a neighbor’s house caught fire. The state fire marshal ruled arson as the cause of the blaze that destroyed 346 Shaw Street and 348 Shaw Street and damaged 344 Shaw Street. Gudyk, severely burned, said he was upset arson could have killed people. Authorities said Robert Owen’s back porch fire spread to adjacent homes as the trio helped neighbors escape.

Contaminated nuclear tank moved to waste plant in Wampum
A 33 by 8 foot reactor tank from Westinghouse Waltz Mill, damaged in a 1960 Westmoreland County incident, arrived by rail at Alaron Corp in Wampum for dismantling as part of a $50 million cleanup begun in 1997. The tank will be processed and sent to Utah or South Carolina after removal of radioactive material, posing radiation similar to medical X rays. Local officials and emergency responders followed its route through Greensburg to Beaver Falls, with NORC and DOT/ NRC approvals required for packaging and transport. The tank was part of the nation’s first privately owned nuclear test reactor, which began operation in July 1959.
