89-year-old veteran crowned with long-awaited diploma
Marine Cpl. Bob Miller, 89, of Pulaski Township earned his high school diploma after decades of waiting. Drafted in 1944, he left Dayton High School to serve in World War II and was promised a diploma upon return. His daughter-in-law, Karen Miller, with help from Rep. Chris Sainato’s office, persuaded Wilmington Area School District officials to honor his service and award the diploma in a surprise ceremony at Karen’s home.

Drilling planned at Mohawk area well pad near Mohawk schools
North Beaver Township officials discussed Hilcorp Energy Co plans for a Savnet well pad on Mohawk School Road this summer while school is out. No oil and gas ordinance exists, so state DEP rules govern the project and a buffer zone was created to reduce noise. Two fracturing pads already operate in the township and much of the land is leased for drilling.
