00:00An emotional candlelight vigil last night in Coriopolis for Cornell High School football coach Ed Dawson.
00:06Dawson died Friday after suffering a medical emergency during a game at Rochester.
00:11Alec Whippa, Mayor Dwan Walker grew up with Dawson, telling KDKA Radio.
00:15Anybody who came in contact with him, better for it.
00:18And if you didn't know him, you missed out on something.
00:21You missed out on a great man, a good father, a good husband, an all-around amazing person.
00:28Counselors are available for Cornell students this week.
00:32Ed Dawson was 55, and Mayor Walker will be Colin's guest after our 930 news.
00:37We're turning back the clocks this weekend as the debate continues over the health and safety risks of changing time
00:43twice a year.
00:44News Radio KDKA's Tamara Rush has more in the newsroom.
00:47Pulse sleep experts say shifting our clocks can disrupt sleep and alertness.
00:51And research has linked the springtime change to a temporary increase in heart attacks.
00:55Supporters of permanent standard times say darker winter mornings can put children walking to school and commuters at risk.
01:02But those who favor permanent daylight saving time want more daylight in the evenings.
01:07The Sunshine Protection Act would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
01:12But it remains stalled in the U.S. Senate.
01:15For now, daylight saving time ends Sunday at 2 a.m.
01:18So turn your clocks back one hour before bed Saturday night.
01:22In the newsroom, Tamara Rush, News Radio KDKA.
01:25One person is dead after a fatal motorcycle accident in Westmoreland County.
01:29The cycle collided with a tanker truck around 1.30 this morning on Route 30 near the intersection with Johnson
01:35Road in Unity Township.
01:37Details about the accident and the identity of the person killed were not immediately available.
01:42The first responders were called early Sunday after an SUV went over a hillside and landed on train tracks in
01:48Millvale in the area of the Route 28 on-ramp.
01:51Police say the damaged vehicle was abandoned.
01:54Thermal imaging cameras were brought to the scene, but no one was found.
01:57A tow truck pulled that white Kia off of the Norfolk Southern tracks.
02:01As many as 400,000 protesters turned out in France over the weekend with the police retaking control of the
02:08streets there.
02:09ABC's Tom Sufi Burridge is in Paris.
02:11We also saw the police hitting back.
02:14We saw multiple incidents of police violence against protesters.
02:19Police beating protesters, kicking them.
02:22That was on full display.
02:24Overall, though, what happened the previous Saturday, the lack of law and order on the streets, that was not the
02:31case this Saturday.
02:32There was some violence, but it was quite limited.
02:34But the police managed to quell that violence.
02:36Sufi Burridge says there was minimal looting and vandalism, and the NFL's first regular season game in France was not
02:42affected.
02:43Trick-or-treating could cost more this year.
02:45Analysts say high prices are a big reason for a drop in Halloween candy sales.
02:50In fact, so far this year, they're down about 7% compared to last year.
02:54Bad weather in the cocoa-producing parts of the world is one factor for higher chocolate prices.
02:59Candy prices are up 45% in the last five years.
03:03KDKA Sports, the Steelers beat New Orleans 16-10 in Paris, with Aaron Rodgers passing for 212 yards and a
03:10touchdown.
03:10And he sealed the win with an 8-yard scramble late in the game.
03:14I looked over as I cleared the pocket and knew I had to probably not be able to slide on
03:18that one.
03:18And sometimes you've got to suck it up and make a play for your guys.
03:22Mike McCarthy's media session is at 3 this afternoon.
03:25And the Seahawks handed the Chiefs their first loss of the season, 20-3, on Sunday Night Football.
