Art display being torn down in Wellsville
WELLSVILLE, Ohio (WKBN) — An art display in southern Columbiana County that drew strong attention over the last few years is being demolished. Artist Gigi Janko owns the former Immaculate Conception church property in Wellsville that closed in 2019. She took material off the old church rectory and collected other items from houses in town that had caught fire and were being demolished. The result was a giant piece of abstract art next to the former church at the corner of Main Street and 11th Avenue. After two years of disputes with the city, Janko is tearing the work down, all by herself. She said she started tearing down the structure last week. 'There's been a lot to reflect upon in this process, and I'm grateful that it hasn't been smooth because it's caused me to look upon things with greater care,' Janko said. Janko came to Wellsville from Massachusetts after graduating from undergraduate school. Seeing an ad online for the old church, she was inspired. 'It felt like the place that I wanted to be next, and I didn't know what that meant either,' Janko said. 'Except that I was looking to make art and have freedom to explore materials in a way that I might not have had the chance to do before.' Janko set up a studio in the old church and began to immerse herself in the community. 'I loved discovering the different forms of the building, and I loved the people I was meeting,' Janko said. 'I joined the fire department… They made me feel really welcome in a way that I needed at the time.' Janko said the piece, titled 'But I Misunderstood [6 houses & a porch],' became a way for her to process and heal from her own trauma. 'I felt that it might be healing for other people,' Janko said. 'It's difficult to have any sort of intention with art, but it's awesome if it does anything.' Janko said she and the city have been negotiating the demolition since this past fall. She plans to have the work leveled by the time she returns to school in Rhode Island in September and hopes the property can be used for other art in the future. 'Not all art looks like this, and not all people work the way that I work,' Janko said. 'It would be awesome to see people come in and engage with the community. As an artist, it's been amazing to be here as a person, and I think it'd be amazing for others to experience that.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wall of historic church being demolished in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood falls on SUV
A SUV's windshield was shattered in a mishap at a construction site of a historic church in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood. Crews have been demolishing the Immaculate Conception for the last two weeks. As crews went to knock over a wall around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, they say it was too heavy at the top and fell into an alleyway and on top of a vehicle in the PNC Bank parking lot. No one was hurt. Neighbors walking by said they hope the demolition doesn't cause any damage to their property in the future. '[I'm] a little surprised. They started last Tuesday and I got a text from my landlord earlier that they were going to come and take some pictures to see if anything was damaged,' Sarah Bigelow said. Crewmembers on scene said they did exchange insurance with the owner of the damaged vehicle. Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts.

Straight line winds cause power outage, school closures in Marrero
JEFFERSON PARISH, La. (WGNO) — The National Weather Service has confirmed the wind damage experienced in Marrero on Wednesday, May 7, was a result of straight line winds and not tornado activity. Despite warnings earlier this week about the storm headed our way, residents in the Marrero area and even parish leaders say they were shocked by how strong they were. Power outage report as severe weather crosses Southeast Louisiana 'These events never used to happen to us, where we would just, you know, have a tornado outside of a hurricane. We just had it two weeks in a row. I'm not saying this is a tornado, but these kinds of large-scale wind events more frequently, and that's a little bit frightening,' said Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng. 'It's strange to see all the power lines down,' said Jefferson Parish resident Ernest Williams. Williams lives near West Jefferson Medical Center, and like many in the area, he says it does appear that the West Bank has been getting hit hard lately. 'That's scary, you know, because normally we don't get that. You know, everybody else did it. Belle Terre had it the other day. Now, it's over here on this side. It's just weird,' said Williams. Multiple 18-wheeler cabs catch fire in Kenner A few schools, like Immaculate Conception, dismissed students early after the power went out. Entergy Louisiana is working to get everything back online, hopefully by midnight. 'I imagine, going to take a little while to restore a good bit of those people because of what we see here. I mean, when poles are down and snap like this, it's going to take a lot to get them back up and get them re-energized,' said Jefferson Parish Councilman Scott Walker.
