PITTSBURGH — The creator of the Miss Pittsburgh beauty pageant claims in a lawsuit that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender events run by another business infringe on her trademark, and injure her reputation.

Michele Alexander says that the 2012 Miss Pittsburgh Pride and Miss Pittsburgh Trash contests unfairly competed with the traditional pageant.

Alexander says she won a 2005 lawsuit that clearly gave her ownership of the Miss Pittsburgh trademark, and alleges that There Ultra Lounge, which ran the other contests, had to know that. There Ultra Lounge did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Alexander began the Miss Pittsburgh pageant in 1998.

Williamsport gets more drilling feesHARRISBURG — The city of Williamsport will receive an extra $300,000 from Pennsylvania’s booming natural gas drilling industry after state officials said they corrected miscalculations in how revenue from fees was to be distributed among municipal governments.The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission released the revised figures last week for its distribution of Marcellus Shale well fees. It disclosed the errors in late October, and the changes will result in many municipalities seeing a change of hundreds or thousands of dollars in its figure for wells drilled in 2011 and before.The fees results from a February law imposing a $50,000 fee for each horizontally drilled well and a $10,000 fee for each vertical well drilled through the end of 2011.Williamsport’s change was by far the biggest and will bring the city $560,000, instead of $260,000.The utility commission said the miscalculation affected municipalities within five miles of a well.
