THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE ON COZI TV. TONIGHT AT 7:00 I’M MIKE CLARK. WE ARE NOW JUST HOURS AWAY FROM THE LANDSIDE TERMINAL AT PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, CLOSING ITS DOORS, MAKING WAY FOR TOMORROW’S GRAND OPENING OF THE BRAND NEW TERMINAL. THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING AND MARKS THE END OF AN ERA FOR PITTSBURGH TRAVELERS. NOVELTIES LIKE TAKING THE TRAM TO THE AIRSIDE TERMINAL AND THE SOUNDS OF ROLLING LUGGAGE OVER THE TERMINAL’S TILED FLOORS WILL BE NO MORE. STARTING TOMORROW, OUR SHELDON INGRAM HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE MASSIVE PROJECT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND JOINS US FROM THE AIRPORT ON THE BITTERSWEET FEELING SOME TRAVELERS HAD TONIGHT DURING THE TERMINALS FINAL MOMENTS. WELL, THE LAST DAY OF THE CURRENT LANDSIDE TERMINAL. A LOT OF SENTIMENTAL FEELINGS ARE SHARED. THAT INCLUDES ONE OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WHO WAS HERE WHEN IT OPENED 33 YEARS AGO. OCTOBER 1ST, 1992. THIS OPENED AS THE NEWEST MARVEL IN SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AT THE TIME, TOM FOERSTER, PETE FLAHERTY AND LARRY DUNN SERVED AS ALLEGHENY COUNTY’S BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. DUNN IS THE LAST REMAINING COMMISSIONER. COMMISSIONERS WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE IT AN AIRPORT THAT WOULD BE MOST INVITING. IT WOULD BE MOST EFFECTIVE AND AT THE TIME, CONNECTING FLIGHTS WERE THE BIG THING. IT WAS CALLED MIDFIELD TERMINAL. DESIGNED AS A HUB FOR U.S. AIRWAYS, BUT AFTER NINE OVER 11, THE INDUSTRY CHANGED. U.S. AIRWAYS BECAME U.S. AIR AND THEN WAS BOUGHT BY AMERICAN AIRLINES. IT WAS JUST IDEAL. AT THE TIME. US AIR HAD SO MANY CONNECTING FLIGHTS, ALL GOING EVERYWHERE. PITTSBURGH TRAVELERS WILL REMEMBER SOME OF ITS UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS, LIKE THIS. MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME BEFORE I LEAVE TODAY FILM THE CLICKETY CLACK, CLICKETY CLACK. I HAD A LOT OF MEMORIES HERE. SO THE THE OLD TERMINAL, THE T-REX I HEAR THAT’S LEAVING. AND AGAIN, THE CLICKETY CLACK OF THE FLOOR. THE THE. I GUESS THE TRAM WILL BE GONE. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS OF THIS PLACE? I’M GOING TO MISS THE TRAIN. I’M GOING TO MISS RIDING THE TRAIN BETWEEN HERE IN THE HEARING THE TERMINALS. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS PLACE? SAD, SAD? I MEAN, WE’VE BEEN IN HERE QUITE A BIT. EVEN BEFORE TSA WAS HERE. EVEN BEFORE, YOU KNOW, THE NINE OVER 11. SO BUT I MEAN, IT’S A GOOD BUILDING. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN RECYCLE SOME OF IT INSTEAD OF TEARING IT DOWN. THIS TIME TOMORROW WE REPORT FROM INSIDE THE NEW AIRPORT TERMINAL COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY IN PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. SHELDON INGRAM PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. JOIN PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR ALL DAY TOMORROW AS WE BRING YOU TEAM COVERAGE FROM THE AIRPORT, SHOWING YOU THE NEW FEATURES AND PREPARING YOU FOR WHAT TO EXPECT THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A FLIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SPEAKING OF THE SKIES, WE’RE GOING TO TURN TO PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER NOW LOOKING LIVE OVER DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH FROM OUR ACTION CAM. WE WERE TREATED TO A BIT OF A WARM UP OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT REALITY IS SETTING BACK IN A BIG WAY. TONIGHT WE’RE JOINED BY CHIEF METEOROLOGIST MIKE HARVEY WITH YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST, AND YOU’RE PREPARING US FOR AN IMPACT DAY TOMORROW. MIKE. THAT’S RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE ON THE COLD SIDE IN THE 30S PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY LONG. AND WE’LL START OFF WITH THE RAIN SHOWERS THAT COULD HAVE A RAIN SNOW MIX WITH IT. THEN THAT WILL CHANGE OVER IN TRANSITION TO ALL RAIN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY. ALREADY DOWN TO 36 DEGREES RIGHT NOW AND FEELS LIKE 32 DEGREES. AS FAR AS THE TIMING OF ALL THIS, WE’LL HAVE CLOUDS THAT WILL MOVE IN IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WE DON’T EXPECT THE RAIN AND SNOW TO MOVE IN UNTIL ABOUT 10:00 IN THE MORNING. SO WHEN YOU HEAD OFF TO WORK, PROBABLY GOING TO BE SEEING DRY ROADS AND THEN IT WILL TRANSITION TO ALL RAIN ONCE WE GET PAST NOON. FOR ALMOST ALL LOCATIONS THAT WILL STAY WITH US INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS BEFORE THE RAIN EXITS. TAKE A LOOK AT TOMORROW. HERE’S 10:00. YOU CAN SEE THE MIX HERE. THE RAIN, SNOW MOVING INTO THE AREA. AND THEN ONCE WE GO PAST NOONTIME, YOU CAN SEE IT’S JUST RAIN SHOWERS THAT WILL BE IN THE AREA. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES, JUST STAYING IN THE 30S PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY LONG WILL BE A LIGHT WIND OUT THERE. AND AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE GOOD NEWS TEMPERATURES ARE ON THE WAY UP TO 49 ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN INTO THE 50S FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY, AS WELL AS FRIDAY. I’LL LET YOU KNOW HOW THE WARM AIR IS GOING TO STICK AROUND. THAT’S COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MIKE. IN THE CITY’S HAZELWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD, TWO FIREFIGHTERS WERE HURT BATTLING A ROW HOUSE FIRE OVERNIGHT. PITTSBURGH PUBLIC SAFETY SAYS THE FIRE STARTED AT 130 THIS MORNING IN THE BASEMENT, AND THEN SPREAD TO THE FIRST FLOOR. THE TWO FIREFIGHTERS HURT, WERE BOTH TREATED AT THE SCENE AND DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL. THE FIRE THEN SPREAD TO TWO NEIGHBORING HOMES, WHICH WERE VACANT. NO ONE WAS INSIDE THE HOME WHERE THE FIRE BEGAN, AND THE CAUSE IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION. TONIGHT. ONLY ON FOUR, A FORMER MCKEESPORT DETECTIVE WAS SENTENCED TO JAIL. HE WAS CONVICTED OF STEALING MORE THAN $1 MILLION FROM HIS FELLOW OFFICERS IN THE FOP. THE SENTENCE PROMPTING OUTRAGE FROM FELLOW OFFICERS WHOSE DUES WERE STOLEN. ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES BROKE THE STORY WHEN DETECTIVE JOE OSHINSKY WAS ARRESTED LAST YEAR. OSHINSKY PLEADED GUILTY TO STEALING FUNDS FROM THE FOP TO FINANCE A BAR AND RESTAURANT. TODAY, A JUDGE SENTENCED HIM TO 9 TO 18 MONTHS. THE JUDGE, THOUGH, IS ALLOWING HIM TO DO HIS TIME IN A HALFWAY HOUSE BECAUSE HE IS DISABLED AND HAS A SON WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. OSHINSKY WAS ALSO ORDERED TO REPAY $967,000 IN RESTITUTION. HE RECOMMENDED RAISING OUR DUES EVERY YEAR JUST SO IT WOULD PUT MORE MONEY IN HIS POCKET. AND I THINK 918 MONTHS IS DESPICABLE. I THINK HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR A LOT LONGER WITH NO ALTERNATIVE HOUSING. NOW TO THE CONTINUING SAGA OF POTHOLES AT PITTSBURGH MILLS MALL. WORK IS BEING DONE RIGHT NOW. AFTER SOME LEGAL ACTION THIS YEAR REGARDING HOW THE OWNERS OF THE MALL HAVE HANDLED THE ROAD SURROUNDING THE MALL. TODAY, PAVING CREWS STARTED PATCHING UP ONE OF THE POTHOLE PLAGUED ROADS ON THE PROPERTY. GETTING A GOOD LOOK HERE, COURTESY OF SKY FOUR, NOW COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER KALEA GUNDERSON IN FRAZIER TOWNSHIP, SPEAKING WITH OFFICIALS EXPLAINING HOW THEY HOPE THIS LEADS TO MORE BEING DONE TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTY. THIS FIX TO THE PITTSBURGH MILLS POTHOLE PROBLEM IS JUST THE START OF WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE DONE ON THIS PROPERTY, AND THEY HOPE THIS PROJECT WILL BE THE FIRST OF MANY. I DIDN’T THINK IT WAS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT THE POTHOLES WERE GETTING TERRIBLE. A STORY WE’VE HEARD FROM MANY CUSTOMERS OF THE PITTSBURGH MILLS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. YOU’RE SWERVING BACK AND FORTH, AND THERE WAS, I’M SURE, A LOT OF ACCIDENTS UP HERE BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE OF THE POTHOLES. WE GET A LOT OF OBVIOUSLY FLAT TIRES, DAMAGE TO RIMS, PEOPLE CALLING, LETTING US KNOW OF POTHOLES AS WELL AS PEOPLE SWERVING, HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ROADS. FRAZIER TOWNSHIP POLICE CHIEF AARON SCOTT GLAD TO SEE THE PROPERTY OWNER, NAMDAR REALTY GROUP, PAYING TO PAVE SOME OF THE MAIN ROADS STARTING TODAY WITH THE INBOUND LANES OF VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE. ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS WAS TRAFFIC. JUST MAKING SURE PEOPLE KNOW THE ROUTES TO TAKE TO GET TO THE BUSINESSES. EVERYONE’S IMPATIENT NOWADAYS, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE’S A LOT OF SIGNAGE, THERE’S A LOT OF FLAGGERS, SO I THINK IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT. FRAZIER TOWNSHIP’S ENGINEER, DAN MARTONE TELLING ME GALLERIA DRIVE WILL BE PAVED HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF WEDNESDAY.
