Lebo extends leader’s contract

Dogs denied their day in Lebo

Steinhauer’s new deal approved unanimously

Williamsburg Park plan fails with stalemate

By Nick Lewandowski For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

The Mt. Lebanon School Board voted unanimously to approve a new five-year contract with superintendent Dr. Tim Steinhauer. The contract will be effective July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2019. School board president Elaine Cappucci said the board’s deadline for awarding a new contract is technically January 2014. The board decided to act early because it was “very confident” it would like to continue working with Dr. Steinhauer. “Hiring and supervising the work of the superintendent is the most important work the board does,” Cappucci said. “During Dr. Steinhauer’s tenure student achievement has improved and we have embarked on several longterm projects, including the high school renovation and the capital campaign. The salary we have offered is commensurate with his abilities.” She added that the new contract was not discussed publicly at the Sept. 9 meeting because the board had not yet agreed on the terms of the contract. “The new salary is a market rate for a district of our size and caliber,” Cappucci said. The board did not disclose a salary figure in its resolution. Dr. Steinhauer’s salary is $163,776 for the 2013-2014 school year. A June 2013 study of administrative salaries by the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) found that of 499 superintendent positions for which data was available, the top salary for the 2011-2012 SEE CONTRACT PAGE A9

The Mt. Lebanon commission failed to approve a pilot program allowing leashed dogs in Williamsburg Park at its Sept. 10 meeting. A tie vote failed to carry the motion. Commissioners Kelly Fraasch and Dave Brumfield voted yes, while Kristen Linfante and John Bendel stood opposed. Matt Kluck was absent, which led to the 2-2 tie. Residents in Brumfield’s Ward Four had been at odds over the issue since January. He proposed the 90-day pilot program as a compromise. It would have allowed dog owners to walk their pets in designated areas before nine o’clock in the morning and after dark. Residents opposed to the program had raised concerns regarding sanitation, enforcement and child safety. “Almost everyone who is against this is a parent,” resident Bruce Perry said prior to the vote. “We don’t allow dogs in schools. We don’t allow them on athletic fields. No one is denied use of the park. Just leave your dog at home.” Another resident, Clint Kelly, presented the commission with a petition signed by 130 Ward Four residents supporting the program. He accused opponents of obtaining signatures from non-residents for their own petitions, as well as misrepresenting dog owners’ wishes. “People who support walking dogs on leashes in the park have no intention of allowing it to become a dog run, or to let dogs run SEE DOGS PAGE A7

St. Bernard School students Ellie Grefenstette, Emily Farley, Mariah Lomire and Bridget Hart practice signing the national anthem in preparation of their performance Sept. 18 at the Pittsburgh Pirates’ baseball game. The Pirates will pay tribute to Vince Lascheid, who played the organ for the organization as well as the Mt. Lebanon church for more than 30 years.

The sign of music St. Bernard students use hands to honor Lascheid By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

For years, Vince Lascheid’s life revolved around his family, his church and the music he created on the organ to entertain crowds at Pittsburgh Pirates, Penguin and Steeler games. To honor his memory, about 50

students from the late Lascheid’s home church, St. Bernard Parish Roman Catholic Church and School in Mt. Lebanon, will sign the national anthem on the field of PNC Park before the Pirates take on the San Diego Padres Sept. 18. His daughter, Mindy Lascheid of Scott Township, helped organize the event that honors her father who died in 2009 at the age of 85. She

will hold a photograph of her father as she stands on the field while the students, all dressed in black with white gloves, sign the words. St. Bernard School Principal Dan Wagner is thrilled the students will have the opportunity to perform on a major league baseball field. Wagner, along with about 300 family members and supporters, SEE SIGN PAGE A7

Party with a purpose: Ladies tea benefits SHIM By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Eighth grade girls from Upper St. Clair started their school year on a generous note, organizing a “Mother Daughter Tea Party” to benefit the South Hills Interfaith Ministries (SHIM). Held Aug. 25 at the USC Recreation Center on McLaughlin Run Road, the tea was a fun and relaxing afternoon for moms and their daughters and included refreshments, a photo session, games for the girls, and a raffle. With the slogan: “Our goal is to fill the shelves of SHIM”, attendees were asked to donate items needed by SHIM, receiving a raffle ticket for each item they brought. Coordinating the event were Cassie Henrick, Ahnna Jones, Zoe Karidis and Kayla Senneway, all students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Fort Couch Middle School. Because one of the requirements for eighthgrade IB students is 30

hours of community service, the girls explained, they started investigating potential projects earlier in the summer. During a visit to SHIM, Zoe Karidis said they learned that the organization does not typically receive a lot of donations in the summer, so by the time school starts there’s not a lot left on the shelves. “We decided to stock the food bank,” said Karidis.

Once the girls decided on what organization they wanted to assist, they decided on the mother-daughter tea party and started planning the event. From advertising, decorating and baking, to planning games and favors, the girls took care of every detail, including set up, clean up and recruiting friends to help. Alyssa Cuddy, Isabela Eiriz, Allison Epler, Nathalie

Frenette, Katy Hall, Anvi Kumar, Maya Narayanan, Abby Skeel, Jordan Spradlin and Ava White assisted with preparations and at the event. Helping with baked goods and other items but unable attend the tea were Bess Gillece, Kate Groninger and Grace Krah. When attendees arrived, they were greeted at the door and shown to the

registration area where they dropped off their food items, received their raffle tickets, and were assigned a time for their photo session. They were then invited to help themselves to an assortment of tea sandwiches, fruit, vegetables and a variety of baked goods. Once everyone had arrived, the eighth graders had several games arranged for the younger

girls, a raffle and homemade pink candy tea pot lollipops for everyone to take home as favors. Violet Rizer, who was at the tea with her mother Amanda, said of the event, “I love it.” Brenna Schmitz commented that the food was “really good,” while her mother, Lindsay, said the event provided nice mother-daughter time. After the event, all the food collected, 261 pounds, was delivered to SHIM. “The timing was perfect for us,” said SHIM Community Relations Manager Ann Cullen. “We were thrilled for them to think of us,” continued Cullen. “They made an effort to come here and find out what we needed and went above and beyond for the planning of the event. We were really impressed.” In addition to the donation to SHIM, the remaining baked goods from the tea party were delivered to Peters Township Meals on Wheels. For more information about SHIM, visit its website at www.shim-center. org.

Doshi, Meyer welcomed as USC board student reps By Carla Valentine Meyers For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

The Upper St. Clair School Board welcomed Brinda Doshi and Christian Meyer as student representatives to the board table Sept. 9. In introducing Doshi, Superintendent Patrick O’Toole joked that the board often thinks there must be two or three of her because they hear her name so many times as students are honored by the board for various awards.

A senior, Doshi is president of the science club at the high school and co-president of the student UNICEF group at the school. She is also a member of the tennis team and a peer reviewer for the National High School Journal of Science. A junior, Meyer will serve the next two years on the board. O’Toole said the board hopes to appoint another junior next year so Christian Meyer and Brinda Doshi that there is always a student representative with a Meyer belongs to the Business Leaders of Ameryear of experience under Kids Helping Kids orga- ica.

Opinion EDITORIALS

Upper St. Clair no longer rural

ears ago, Upper St. Clair Township was a rural community dotted with farms and livestock. Then housing developments began to spring up creating a residential atmosphere and slowly, some commercial establishments began to call the township home. Anyone remember the Moo restaurant at what is now the Crossgates Plaza site? It was a great place for kids to eat long before fast-food restaurants appeared. As time progressed, banks and pharmacies moved to corner buildings, small speciality shops opened along with medical offices and independent grocery stores. In the 1960s, South Hills Village was developed, making the trek to Pittsburgh to buy clothes or gifts almost obsolete. More and more commercial establishments appeared as residents continued to clamor for the more sedate, upscale housing plans long associated with Upper St. Clair. Then, along came the idea for a new mixed-use plan along Washington Road at the site of the former Consol property across from South Hills Village. The plan calls for 33 new town and patio homes, office and retail space, an upscale grocery store and parking. Surrounding property owners complained all that development will result in increased traffic. After several meetings and public hearings, the Upper St. Clair Township Commissioners granted a conditional use approval and a preliminary land development approval. That action signals change is coming, something some neighboring property owners are resisting. Traffic is cited as one of the anticipated problems that may occur when the development is completed. Neighbors along Fort Couch Road and those on Fieldgate Drive are worried about the generation of extra vehicles. Other property owners have expressed concern the views from the rear of their homes will be less than pastoral. No one likes change, but change is inevitable. The phrase may be a cliche, but, like many cliches, it’s true. And not all change is bad. Yes, it would be nice if everything would remain the same, but it won’t, and it shouldn’t. Just have faith that the Upper St. Clair Commissioners and their planning and zoning experts will abide by the ordinances to ensure those living close to the proposed plans for the 1800 Washington Road site are as satisfied as possible with the end product.

Doggy business

esidents near Williamsburg Park in Mt. Lebanon are at odds about allowing dogs in the park, an issue that came up for a vote Sept. 10 by Mt. Lebanon Commissioners. The vote on a pilot program permitting dogs in the park during restricted hours ended in a 2-2 tie, hence failing. Residents in the 4th Ward have been hashing over the pros and cons since January on permitting leashed dogs in the park before 9 a.m. and after dark. Yes, dogs need a place to run, exercise and to complete their daily business. And, yes, those concerned with sanitation and safety issues also have a strong point. A dog may be man’s best friend, but not if that very same dog leaves a few reminders that it was there. Not all dog owners or walkers have fun-loving, jovial pets, making those unfamiliar with the animal a little tense. Children often cause a distraction resulting in the dog becoming agitated. All sorts of scenarios can be projected and not everything can be covered. For now, the pilot program to permit leashed dogs in the park is on hold, but there are other areas in the county that offer an alternative, even if that means getting the dog in the car and driving to South Park. It’s a great place to let the dogs run sans leash. A city in Southern New Jersey offers an alternative—an annual pay-to-play area. Pay up front and the dog can run at leisure. It’s a money-making project and somewhat restricts usage by those looking for a free ride. Not everyone loves dogs, and that is understandable. And not everyone love cats, and that, too, is understandable. Dogs and cats both leave behind droppings. Hopefully, at least the dog owners will do the right thing and clean up the mess. Who goes after the cat’s deposits? And lest we forget, the ubiquitous wild deer that roam the South Hills and always let the world know they passed this way more than once. There has to be a compromise. Let’s just hope that cool minds can work out the logistics and let the animals share the space.

Inspection program fails consumers According to a recent lead story in the Washington Post, the inspection program that USDA plans to roll out in meat and poultry plants nationwide has repeatedly failed to stop production of contaminated meat. The program allows meat producers to increase the speed of processing lines and replace USDA safety inspectors with their own employees. But plants operating under this program have experienced some of the worst health and safety violations that include failure to remove fecal matter and partly digested food, according to USDA’s inspector general. These contaminants may contain complex strains of deadly E. coli and listeria. Traditionally, USDA has catered more to the interests and profitability of the meat industry than health and safety concerns of American consumers. Consumer interests come into play only when large numbers of us get sick. Having the USDA protect consumers is like asking the fox to guard the chicken house. The Obama administration must reallocate responsibility for consumer safety to the Food and Drug administration. In the meantime, each of us must assume responsibility for our own safety by switching to the rich variety of plant-based meats offered

in local supermarkets. Mark Helton McMurray

Parents get back to basics Another school year has begun in Bethel Park. Teachers are teaching and children are embarking on their next adventure in learning. As with each new year over the past three, there was the uneasy feeling that a teachers’ strike was looming on the horizon. Thankfully, that did not happen. Since moving to Bethel Park in 2009, I have enjoyed getting to know our community and school district—students, parents, teachers and administrators. I admire each of these groups very much because they all have difficult jobs, particularly parents. But of course, I’m biased. I have five children in four Bethel Park schools. I’ve always had the educational philosophy that I will do my job (instill in my children a love for learning and a love for God, themselves and others) and I will leave public education to do its job (teach my children the skills they need to be productive in the work/ career they choose to pursue). What I see happening the more involved I get in my children’s education is our schools are taking on more and more of my parental responsibilities.

School districts are feeling forced to take on character education and anti-bullying programs which cost our communities money (for the programs themselves and the staff to teach them). The reasoning is, if we don’t address these issues, who will? We parents are dropping the ball, and our schools are picking it up. Is it any wonder that our teachers feel deserving of a pay increase? They are doing my job and theirs, and it’s not by choice. I want to encourage parents to take the ball back, myself included. It’s too easy to throw it to our schools. We need to be the ones who teach our children to be kind and caring, helpful and sharing, to love learning and to be respectful, to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. And let’s extend our reach to those kids whose parents simply cannot take the ball because of overwhelming circumstances. Be a mentor, an encourager, a cheerleader for someone else’s children who may desperately need to be mentored, encouraged and cheered on to be great people. Imagine what our community would look like if we did a better job of parenting (which is the hardest and most important occupation in the world), and our schools could get back to doing only their job. Maybe, just maybe the only uneasy

feelings at the beginning of a new school year would be the first-day jitters in our kids as they wonder who they’ll sit with at lunch!

Dogs belong in the home

In response to the letter written by Oren Spiegler and published in the Sept. 4 edition of The Almanac, your dog wants to be with you! A dog is part of your famiy pack. People who tie a dog outside on a chain (and this is the dogs’ home) should be tied outside on a chain day and night and see how this feels—winter, spring, summer and fall. The dog didn’t ask to come and live with you. You went and got the dog. Yes, you! Animals can’t pick their owners, it’s a chance for them. To all the people who love their pets, God sends us angels with four paws. And for the people that abuse animals, you will have to answer for the wrong that you have done to these angels. An animal is not a piece of nothing. Just because they can’t speak, we must speak up for them.

Paint-your-own pottery offers fun indoor activity By Deana Carpenter Staff writer dcarpenter@thealmanac.net

Long ago, pottery was made mostly for functional purposes, but today many people choose to make or paint pottery for gifts or keepsakes for themselves because they enjoy having something they created to call their own. As a result, several paintyour-own pottery studios have popped up in the area over the past few years. And, with autumn and winter right around the corner, people looking for a fun indoor activity may want to think about unleashing their creative side and painting a piece of pottery at one of three shops in the South Hills. Locally, there’s Fired Up in McMurray, That Pottery Place in South Park and Bisque ‘N Brew, a South Hills-based business that brings the ceramics and supplies to people for parties. Fired Up, located on Washington Road in Peters Township, has been open for about a dozen years but Debra Bracco of Upper St. Clair has owned it for the past one. With a background in graphic design, Bracco said she wanted to own something that allowed her to feed her creative need. According to Bracco, Fired Up has become a “destination spot” for those interested in painting their own pottery. “When people walk through the door, they’re happy,” she said. Her clients, which are mainly kids accompanied by their parents or friends, can choose from nearly 140 colors and 400 items to paint. “Our stock lends itself to children,” Bracco said of the pieces she carries, which include licensed

items from Hello Kitty to Thomas the Train. “I can’t even fathom to tell you what has been made here,” Bracco said. “When I look in the kiln at what has been fired, I am always amazed. “You can take a plate and turn it into anything,” Bracco explained. Fired Up has regular nights in which women can get together with friends, bring their own food and drink and paint a piece of pottery. The business also has a party area for children with birthday packages available. Fired Up also has dedicated nights in which the business donates a portion of its sales to charities relating to events such as National Celiac Disease Day and National Diabetes Day. Additionally, Fired Up is involved in the Adopt-a-dog program. For example, patrons can choose a ceramic dog from the cage in the front window and paint it. Five dollars from the sale

goes to the Washington Area Humane Society. The person painting the dog also receives an adoption certificate and can name their dog. To celebrate one year of ownership, Fired Up will be having a special birthday party/grand re-opening starting at 11 a.m. Sept. 28. There will be giveaways and chances to win prizes like an iPod. Additionally, each painter will receive a free bisquie, a small ceramic item, to paint. That Pottery Place is located in the South Park Shops along Route 88 and is owned by Kim Shaeffer. The Peters Township resident runs the business with her brother, Jim Peelor. In addition to the paint-your-own pottery, That Pottery Place offers classes on how to use a pottery wheel. In August, That Pottery Place began offering classes on how to make items like bowls, plates and candleholders with fused glass.

“There’s no other place to make a (fused) glass bowl in the South Hills,” Schaeffer said. She added people can just walk in and say, “I want to do glass,” and they can begin the process. Everything made at That Pottery Place is glazed and fired. Hence, the ceramics and fused-glass pieces are food, dishwasher and microwave safe. “I’ve always been crafty,” said Schaeffer. “I worked at another paintyour-own pottery place a few years ago and I liked it so much I decided I can do this on my own.” Schaeffer’s customers range from children to new moms who want to put their baby’s footprints on a plate to ladies who have their bachelorette parties at the studio. “It’s truly ageless,” she said of making ceramics. That Pottery Place offers nearly 100 colors of paint as well as a wide variety of figurines and other pieces like plates and bowls. With three kilns in the back

room, Shaeffer fires everything in-house, including the fused-glass pieces. While younger kids usually want to make some type of figurine that Schaeffer calls “collectibles”, their parents encourage them to make something like a mug or bowl. “Adults usually make something much more functional,” Schaeffer laughed. Couples like coming in to make something on the pottery wheel. “The ninth anniversary gift is pottery,” Schaeffer noted. The majority of people coming in to That Pottery Place make items for themselves. The one exception is the holiday season when customers come in to make Christmas items or gifts like large platters or chip and dip trays for family and friends. “At holiday time, about 90 percent of people that come here are making gifts for someone,” Schaeffer said. That Pottery Place offers birthday party packages. In addition, the party room

can be reserved for other functions or gatherings. Bisque ‘N Brew offers a different twist on the paintyour-own pottery studio, in that the business is not in one set location. Owner Sara Hauck comes to any South Hills-area location; homes, schools, community centers, anywhere people want to paint their own pottery. She brings all the materials including the pottery, paint and brushes. When the pieces are done, Hauck will glaze and fire them at the customer’s request. For a faster turnaround, Hauck said people can choose to do their pieces in just acrylics. These don’t need to be glazed and fired. As a result, clients can have them that same day. Hauck also offers the opportunity for people to work in clay so they can actually sculpt a piece before it’s painted. “Every single kid can paint,” Hauck said about area children who have their birthday parties with the help of Bisque ‘N Brew. She added that painting a piece can also be a “good addition to a sleepover” or something that Girl Scouts can do together. Hauck recommends that kids be preschool age or over to participate. In addition to afterschool programs at area elementary schools and other children’s programs, Hauck also travels to senior centers and churches to help people paint. Hauck has done several bachelorette parties as well. For those, Hauck said she sets everything up, gets the ladies going on their projects and then leaves. The next day, she returns to pick up items to be fired.

will attend the game, but he will not stand on the field with the students. They are in the spotlight, he says, not him. The event is not just exposure for the school and a tribute for Lascheid, but it serves as a fundraiser for the school. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to Shining Stars Foundation of Pittsburgh. Preparations for the signing event began in the spring, thanks to Terri Sullivan, the school’s music teacher for the past 13 years. “This is exciting,” Sullivan said. “Exciting for the kids especially because it gives them an opportunity to do something as a group outside of the school and to learn a language that is used in our everyday conversation.” She liked the idea of signing the national anthem because “it took away the focus of the voices and showed the poetry of the music.” Students signing at PNC Park attend fourth through

Commissioners Bendel and Linfante both commented on their perspectives prior to casting their no votes. “I don’t know how we will measure success here,” Bendel said. “I believe what we’re really voting on here is a change to the ordinance. I also believe it will open other parks up to the divisiveness this issue has created.”

Commissioner Linfante added she did not feel the compromise would solve the problem of the nowdivided neighborhood around Williamsburg Park. She also expressed concern over certain residents’ statements that they already walk dogs in defiance of the ordinance and will continue to do so regardless of the commission’s decision. “That’s a bit like saying if people are speeding we should raise the speed limit so they will no longer be breaking the law,” she said.

Sullivan said signing at the game is another opportunity to be grateful. “Thank you God for our ears,” she said. “The students realize that I can do this, but I also can still hear.” Vince Lascheid was well known throughout Pittsburgh as the stadium organist, but he was a faithful

member of St. Bernard’s, having played the church organ for Masses and functions for more than three decades. Mindy Lascheid said her father was self-taught on the organ and piano and, at one time, owned music stores in Bridgeville and Mt. Lebanon. Her mother, Linda Lascheid, will turn 85 in a few days, and was also active in the church community, being known for planting outdoor flow-

ers and for singing in the church choir. While Mindy Lascheid said she was surrounded by music growing up, she never learned to play the organ or piano from her father. She turned to sign language and that, she said, is the reason the event by the students from St. Bernard School will bring a tear to her eye as she stands on the baseball field holding her father’s photograph.

Art brings life to Sarris library in Canonsburg By Emily Petsko Staff writer epetsko@observer-reporter.com

The formerly empty walls on the second floor of Frank Sarris Public Library have taken on a new life. Library visitors can now admire an array of colorful pastel landscapes and portraits strung along the hallway leading to the children’s book section. The Canonsburg library is hosting an exhibit featuring 59 works from 20 members of the Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League until Oct. 4. “The light was on, shining on an empty wall,” library director Peggy Tseng said of her motivation to bring the exhibit to the library. “It looked nice, but it needed something there, so that’s how I started research on different kinds of art displays.” Now, Tseng said the space, named the Athena Sarris Gallery, will be “a place for local artists, an avenue for them to display and to share their art.” Jan Pini, chairwoman of the exhibit whose artwork also is on display, said the artists are thrilled to have their work shown at the library. Pini said she enjoys promoting pastel artwork

A pastel depicting tourists in Germany, drawn by Fran Marze, hangs inside Frank Sarris Public Library for the Pittsburgh Pastel Artist League’s exhibit, which opened Saturday.

Cecil supervisors listen to residents on impoundment epetsko@observer-reporter.com

Cecil Township’s public hearing earlier this month regarding the Worstell impoundment addressed the content of what was discussed at two separate private meetings with the state Department of Environmental Protection and Range Resources. However, residents were told to steer conversation away from the format of those meetings. “I’ve been told some people were here to blast us, chastise us, criticize us for attending a private meeting with Range,” said

Board member David Hvizdos said he was not sure why the sign was removed referring to the act as “heartless” and said “the right thing to do is to put it back.” Board president Cindy Golembiewski told Lutz that it was never the district’s intention to be disrespectful to Jozefkowicz or to her memory. The sign, Golembiewski said, was put up without board approval and that removing the sign was “bad timing.” The board is currently in the process of writing new policy on donations and memorials and that by voting to have the sign reinstalled, would not violate any policy. At the end of a brief discussion, the board voted to have the sign reinstalled with the administration to determine if the sign would be installed on an existing or a new pole. The vote was met with applause from the audience. In other action, the board: • Approved a new contract with the bus drivers and clerical staff that will expire June 30, 2014. This is the first agreement combining the clerical union and bus drivers employed by the district. • Created the position of Diversity Club volunteer.

school year was $263,058. The average salary was $131,373 and the median salary $125,191. The study found 18 percent of superintendents were paid over $158,000. “This is a humbling experience for any individual,” Steinhauer said. “I have the privilege to work for one of the best districts in the Commonwealth. I am surrounded by excellent people. A great group of administrators, a great group of educators. I am very proud to serve this district and the kids here.” The board also approved the purchase of two software packages for its $6 million capital campaign. The first, DonorPro, is for managing prospect records. The second, FindWealth, identifies and ranks prospects according to giving capacity based on public records. Campaign director Alyssa DeLuca said she had an alumni list of 18,000 prospects to be uploaded into DonorPro. She explained the records would need to be “cleaned up” before prospects could be solicited. Mailing addresses would need to be verified, for example. DonorPro costs $6,555. In addition, there is a monthly fee of $180 and a per-record monthly fee of half a cent. For 18,000 records that would total about $90. FindWealth will be purchased at a discounted price of $8,999 for the first year.

township Chairman Tom Casciola. “That’s going to have to occur later in the evening. We need to address the residents here who live near the Worstell impoundment.” Casciola said the main purpose of the hearing, which was held before the township’s board of supervisors meeting, was for residents to guide the township in its dealings with Range Resources, which operates the impoundment on Swihart Road. He asked residents if the township should try to negotiate with Range to improve the impoundment, or to push for its elimination altogether.

Casciola, along with supervisors Elizabeth Cowden and Frank Ludwin, met privately with Range Resources officials Aug. 6 to discuss the impoundment. Several days later, township supervisors attended a private conference at the DEP’s headquarters to discuss the same topic. “To be frank, we didn’t learn a lot at either of those meetings, but what we did learn and put together, it was more informative,” Casciola said. He said Range representatives indicated in the meeting that they plan to continue operating the im-

Superintendent Jeannine French said the club is “up and running” and needed the approval of the board. In later action, Judith Alexander was named as the volunteer. • An amendment to name Barbara Deliere as sponsor of the dance team failed by a vote of 6-2 with members Sandra Gregg and Sue Smith voting for. Voting against the amendment were members Golembiewski, Thomas McMurray, Hvizdos, Lori Cuervo, Ron Dunleavy and Lynn Erenberg. William Merrell took part through a confer-

ence call but had terminated the call earlier saying he could hear only 30 percent of the conversations. High school principal Lori Pavlik is serving as acting sponsor. • Announced the first finance meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28, after learning the administration will seek an exception through Act 1 to raise taxes above the state permitted percentage. McMurray said seeking the exception will permit the district to explore options as the state’s index percentage has not been set.

poundment and that they can control the number of trucks that travel along Swihart Road, which has been a concern for some residents who live near the impoundment. Township manager Don Gennuso said Range officials were invited to the public hearing but were unable to attend. Residents have expressed concerns in the past regarding the potential for water and air contamination, as well as the heavy amount of truck traffic. Comments made by about a dozen residents at Tuesday’s hearing fell along these same lines, and a majority of those who

spoke out called for the impoundment to either be shut down or monitored more closely. Rose Churray said she is concerned about the deterioration of Swihart Road caused by truck traffic to the impoundment. She said it is the township’s duty to push for an end to impoundment operations because Range and the DEP cannot be trusted to serve residents’ best interests. “This impoundment is unconditional. It is open to any trucks from anywhere carrying anything for as long as they want,” Churray said. “You are the ones that have any little bit of

power to stop it. You gotta shut this place down.” Joe Kirby, who also lives near the impoundment, said he has no concerns and denied that truck traffic is ruining the road. “You can run a Baltimore and Ohio full train down that road every six hours, and it’s never, ever going to affect that road,” Kirby said. “What they’re doing isn’t really bothering me, and nobody gets affected more than I do.” Several residents called for either Range Resources or the township to fund groundwater and air quality tests for properties near the impoundment.

Area cyclists answer challenge to combat arthritis By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

When Jeff Krakoff of Upper St. Clair was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 18 years ago, he was 31 years old and knew life would present challenges. However, Krakoff, now 49, vowed he’d never let the disease rule his life. And, what better way to prove his point than to bicycle 331.25 miles? With eight of his friends, Krakoff accomplished that feat. Over five days that included the Labor Day weekend, they cycled the length of the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Towpath, finishing in Washington, D.C. Krakoff and the other riders took the adventure to increase awareness and to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation of Western Pennsylvania. Rheumatoid arthritis affects 1.5 million people in the United States alone, causing severe joint pain and inflammation as the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues.

Osteoarthritis, another form of arthritis that is also painful, usually results from natural wear and tear on the joints and does not involve the immune system. For Krakoff, managing his rheumatoid arthritis is done through medication and regular exercise, such as biking. The bike tour began when a group of weekend soccer players decided, over bagels and coffee, to branch out from soccer to cycling. The idea was hatched in the winter and training began in the spring. Only one other in the group, Pete Chiste, suffers from arthritis, osteoarthritis rather than rheumatoid. The 55-year-old Peters Township resident has arthritis in one knee. “My doctor told me I had the right knee of a 20-yearold, and the left knee of a 70-year-old and that a knee replacement was in my future,” Chiste said. He turned to cycling to strengthen the muscles around his knees and thanks to the conditioning

Nine area residents embarked on a benefit ride for the Arthritis Foundation. Among the riders at Boston, the start of the journey on the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Towpath, were Jeff Krakoff, Jon Hart, Pete Chiste, Ellen Hart, Vic Walczak, Lori Heinecke, Craig Hoffman, Laura Hoffman and Kurt Meissner.

and the recent trek, Chiste has almost given up wearing a knee brace while playing soccer. He referred to the more than 300-mile bike trip as a “tremendous experience.” According to Chiste, an employee of PNC, the group’s youngest rider was 41 and the oldest was 57.

“Everyone else was in between,” he said. “It was not a young group.” Chiste’s wife, Annette, drove one of the support vehicles so the couple was able to enjoy the scenery and companionship of the other riders. “Americans today tend to travel by airplane from city

to city and don’t see what’s in between,” Chiste said. He enjoyed the small train towns along the passage. For their efforts, the riders collected $5,500 for arthRIDEis. Krakoff captained the nonprofit group. The trek began Aug. 29 in Boston, near McKeesport. On average, the group traveled 65 miles a day. Support vehicles in close proximity hauled spare bicycle parts. Nights were spent in bed and breakfast inns. After arriving in Washington, D.C., Sept. 1, the ride home was easier. The group drove back to Pittsburgh in the support vehicles. One participant, Kurt Meissner of Upper St. Clair, began to ride bikes while living in Southern California. When moving to the Pittsburgh area 11 years ago, he found the trails were not as conducive to standard riding so he eventually bought a trail bike in 2009. Meissner, 45, is a mechanical engineer who does not suffer from any form of arthritis. He finds bicycling to be a great way

to stay in shape and was quick to agree to the arthRIDESis trek. The Labor Day ride was the easy part, he said. Training was more difficult, and the last 20 miles of the ride, his bicycle seat broke and he completed the trek standing up while he pedaled. “I was really surprised just how gorgeous (the passage) is,” Meissner said. Also completing the trip were Upper St. Clair residents Vic Walczak, and Jon and Ellen Hart; Bethel Park residents Craig and Laura Hoffman; and Lori Heinecke from South Park. As for a follow-up journey, Karkoff said there has been some discussion about making the Great Allegheny Passage an annual event. “Or do we do something different?” Krakoff asked. No decisions have been made.

Safety concerns prompt Mayview appeal set for Sept. 25 SF to mull road closures out,” said John Alan Kosky, chairman of the South Fayette Zoning Hearing Board. He would not comment further on the nature of the meeting as he said he had not yet received his packet. Aloe Brothers is asking for a special exception to the township code to allow mining on the property and is also challenging the validity of a specific section of the township’s zoning ordinance regarding B-1 or business districts.

Township administrators in South Fayette are recommending closing portions of two roads: Pinch Road and Coal Pit Run Road for safety concerns. Ryan Eggleston made the recommendations at a Sept. 11 board of commissioners meeting. He said the staff would like to close a portion of Pinch Road for the winter months. Pinch Road is located off Tom’s Run Road near Dutch Hill Road. Eggleston’s recommending that the road be closed from Nov. 1 to April 1 on an annual basis. “That section is quite treacherous,” Eggleston said, adding that road crews have a hard time navigating it during the winter months. “It’s a safety issue,” he said. Eggleston is also recommending the permanent closure of a section of

Coal Pit Run Road near the Washington County line where it intersects with Bowman Road. “The road needs significant repairs,” Eggleston said. At one point, there were dwellings on the section of road, but currently no one lives there. Eggleston said there are some occupied dwellings along the Cecil Township portion of the road, but they would still have access to their properties from other roads. Eggleston said he will reach out to Cecil Township regarding the potential closure. “It’s in bad shape,” he added. Eggleston urged residents who have questions, concerns or feedback on either potential road closure to contact the township. “This is just to kind of start that dialogue,” Eggleston said. Paving plans for next year were also discussed at the meeting.

“There are plenty of roads that need attention,” Eggleston said, adding that the township is looking into doing a system-wide analysis of roads to rank them from worst to best condition. “There’s a need to really look at it holistically so we’re not just putting bandages on it,” Eggleston said of the township’s paving needs. “It’s a pretty large issue,” South Fayette has more than 20 square miles of roads to maintain. In other business, the board discussed establishing a committee to research highway overlay districts in the township for possible use on Washington Pike and other roads of potential high growth. Township engineer Mike Benton said an overlay district would not change the zoning in any area. He said the overlay district could be used to add additional setbacks in areas of growth

Aloe Brothers, LLC, owner of the former Mayview Hospital property in South Fayette, has filed an appeal with the township’s zoning hearing board over a decision made in February denying strip coal mining at the property. The appeal will be heard during a public hearing at South Fayette’s Zoning Hearing Board meeting Sept. 25. The public will be able to comment at the meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. at the township building. “We expect a big turn-

160-acre property, which is zoned B-1. Aloe Brothers purchased the former Mayview Hospital property about two years ago for about $505,000. At the Feb. 27 hearing Dennis Regan, project manager for Aloe Brothers, said mining coal on the property is “just a piece of the puzzle to help mitigate costs.” Regan said at that meeting the township was aware that coal would have to be removed from the property to stabilize the ground in order to build. Some concerns from residents included potential increased truck traffic on Boyce, Mayview and Morganza roads.

Lions, Rebels headed for a showdown Ironmen barometer for SLS & SF By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

ELEANOR BAILEY / STAFF

Trevor Morrow fends off tacklers on his way to big yardage for Upper St. Clair. The senior scored touchdowns of 41 and 3 yards and helped lead the Panthers to a 41-0 victory over Peters Township.

Fast and fresh

Tailback depth has USC running full speed ahead By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

When it comes to running the football, Upper St. Clair believes in distributing the wealth. “We use as many running backs as we can,” said head coach Jim Render. However, once Render ran Sean Lee 31 times in a game. “For that,” he said, “I was ashamed of myself.” While Lee exhibited no ill effects from that many carries, having gone on to excel at Penn State and now the Dallas Cowboys, USC’s stable of runners has proven indeed that less equates more. So far this season, 11 players have toted the ball and only one, Trevor Morrow, has accumulated more than 31 carries…in three games. “The ability to rotate running backs allows us to have fresh legs,” explained the 17-year-old tailback. “All of us have been able to stay fresh and the competition among us has made us better, too.” Indeed, there may be no better running team with

so many options out of the backfield in the WPIAL this season. While Morrow leads the Panthers in

rushing, his numbers are not gaudy. With his 41- and 3-yard touchdown runs in USC’s 41-0 shutout over

Peters Township last week, Morrow improved to 177 yards rushing on 33 carries for a team-high five scores, four of them on the ground. While Morrow defined his performance against Peters as “good”, the senior added, that “not one man’s performance was better than the other.” True. Mac Pope also scored twice, once on a 27yard TD strike from Joe Repischak and once on a 19yard rush that staked USC to a 14-0 advantage 13 minutes into the game. After Morrow’s back-to-back TD runs, Stephen Mackowick and Kevin Chrissis tacked on 25- and 35-yard rushing scores for the Panthers. Though injured in the contest, Phil Saracco, along with Andrew Bartusiak, Mackowick, Marcus Galie and David Dougherty contributed to the rushing attack, which now has racked up 611 yards and 13 scores on the ground in three games. “Each running back brings something different to the table,” Render said. “Pope and Morrow are SEE FAST PAGE B2

One week before the Century Conference showdown between SetonLa Salle (3-0) and South Fayette (3-0), Steel Valley served as a barometer for both teams. The Lions dispatched the Ironmen, 42-7, last weekend while the Rebels play host to them at 7 p.m. Sept. 20 at Baldwin Stadium. Meanwhile, its homecoming at South Fayette as the Lions host Burgettstown this Friday at 7. Steel Valley entered the fray with South Fayette, boasting two of the WPIAL top rushers in D’Andre Pickens and Duane Murray. Murray, who had 406 yards, rambled for a 72yard TD, the lone Ironmen score. Pickens, who had 517 yards coming into the contest, combined with Murray for 165 yards on 27 attempts. Although Pickens is injured, the rushing attack remains a top concern for the Rebels, who blanked Keystone Oaks, 42-0, in their tune-up for Steel Valley. “Their running backs are quick and elusive,” said SLS skipper Greg Perry. “They are gamechangers. They can hit a home run real quick. So you have to get guys

around them and gang tackle them and not give them that second effort.” However, like South Fayette, the Rebels have their big gun calling the signals. Tyler Perone ranks among the top three quarterbacks in the district with 50 completions for nine scores and 764 yards in three games. He completed 13 of 25 passes for 214 yards and a 45yard TD strike to Danzel McKinley-Lewis in the win over KO. Brett Brumbaugh, the Lions’ signal caller, is not that far behind. He completed 11 aerials for 152 yards against Steel Valley. The junior has 34 completions for 556 yards and five scores this fall. Defense and the ground game played key roles in both SLS’s and SF’s victories last weekend. Against KO, McKinleyLewis and Rick Mellick recovered fumbles and returned them for touchdowns of 21 and 72 yards respectively. Matt Reinmund scored on a punt return. Perone and Brandon Aiello each rushed for scores of 21 and three yards. Dom DelGreco kicked the extra points. Against Steel Valley, the Lions rushed for all their scores. Grant Fetchet led the ground attack with 137 SEE FOOTBALL PAGE B2

CROSS COUNTRY

Potts leads Lebo ladies to victory By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Kelsey Potts paced the Mt. Lebanon girls’ cross country team to victory in the Spiked Shoe Classic held on the Blue golf course at Penn State University. The Lebo ladies totaled 61 points and outdistanced runner-up State College. The Little Lions finished with a 114 score. Though leading with 800 meters to go in the race, Potts slipped to second place overall, behind champion Amelia Paladino. The University senior posted a 17:38 time. A

sophomore, Potts finished in 17:50. “Kelsey is still growing,” said Lebo head coach Ron Schreiner. “She has learned so much though about how and when to spend her energy. We are not fully giving her everything but this season, so far, we have started to utilize more speed play activities with her.” The results have proved remarkable for Potts as well as her teammates. Potts won the Red, White and Blue Classic and the Lebo ladies are 2-0 in big invitational meets this year. SEE LEBO PAGE B2

Steelers’ Haley inducted into USC’s athletic Hall of Fame By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Todd Haley easily could have abandoned plans to attend the Hall of Fame festivities at Upper St. Clair High School. But the 46-year-old offensive coordinator did not, even though he had already experienced his own Friday the 13th, five days prior when his Pittsburgh Steelers dropped a 16-9 loss to the Tennesse Titans and lost starters, center Markice Pouncey and linebacker Larry Foote, to season-ending injuries in the 2013-14 NFL opener. “Todd wanted to be

here,” stressed USC head football coach Jim Render. Haley concurred. “I’m happy to be here. I’m in awe really.” Delighted, Haley was when he learned that he would be inducted along with tennis coach Rich Saccani and basketball standout Alex Gensler into the Upper St. Clair athletic Hall of Fame. Several additional former students and teachers were also admitted to their respective halls for their contributions to academics and the arts. Of the induction Haley said, “it means the world to me. “It’s just a great honor having grown up in Upper

St. Clair and it being a big part of my life. The coaches and the teachers all shaped me into the person that I am today.” Though he was born in Atlanta, Haley attended USC. And while he did not play football for the Panthers, he golfed on

the school’s varsity. Haley excelled enough to gain a scholarship. In fact, he was a member of the golf squads at the University of Florida and Miami and participated in the NCAA golf tournament during his time with the Gators. “At USC, I was pushed

in the direction of golf and was fortunate to golf in college,” Haley said, “but my passion really was with football.” Indeed, because his father, Dick, was the director of player personnel for the Steelers from 1971-91, Haley served as a ball boy for the

team. He attended training camps, watched games and even viewed practice film. “I grew up around football and I was fortunate to be the ball boy for the Steelers during their glory days. With Mean Joe Greene and Jack Lambert,” Haley said. “That was a great part of my life.” Haley parlayed that passion into a professional career that has spanned 19 seasons in the NFL, 17 of them as a coach. After earning a degree in communications from the University of North Florida in 1991, Haley embarked on a career that saw him gain SEE HALL PAGE B3

yards on 15 carries. He scored on runs of 25, 1 and 48 yards. On the season, Fetchet has 452 yards on 34 carries and seven scores. J.J. Walker rolled up three scores as well. His 1-yard TDs afforded the Lions a 14-0 edge at halftime. He added the final SF score on a 15-yard run in the fourth frame. South Fayette’s opponent Friday night is winless. The Blue Devils dropped to 0-3 overall after a 37-13 loss to South Park. While the Lions may enter next week’s fray against Seton-La Salle unbeaten, the Rebels are completely focused on Steel Valley Friday. In past years, the Ironmen have provided a strong test for them. “They always have strong, physical kids,” Perry said. “They have always been a really good opponent for us and we have enough seniors on the team that know Steel Valley plays us tough every year. “We can’t look ahead because Steel Valley has two backs that can put you in a deficit and then South Fayette doesn’t mean anything at all.” Keystone Oaks looks to recover from the SLS debacle when the Golden Eagles travel to Quaker Valley for a 7 p.m. kickoff Sept. 20. The Quakers are also 3-0 in the Century Conference after defeating McGuffey, 35-31. They do not tangle with Seton-La Salle or South Fayette until Oct. 4 and 11 respectively. Both are road games for the Rebels and Lions.

BP at CM Bethel Park looks to recover from its 38-23 setback against Woodland Hills when the Hawks travel to Canonsburg to take on Canon-McMillan at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20.

good-sized kids. Galie has come a long way and Mackowick is doing a fine job.” While Mike Krenn and J.J. Conn have done their share in versatile roles, Joe Repischack, who has rushed six times for 46 yards, had done a fine job for the Panthers in his role as quarterback. Against the Indians, he threw for 123 yards. On the year, he is 21 of 37 for 347 yards Experience has plenty to do with USC’s success, particularly on the run. The Panthers start seniors in virtually every position on both sides of the ball. “With all the seniors as running backs and the others who play positions in the game, all that experience factors into our success,” said Morrow. “It’s the reason why our offense is doing so well. We are all playing as a team and we don’t rely on one player.” The running backs, however, rely on the big men up front. Ben Huss, who is being pursued by

Sanders rolled up 180 yards rushing and staked the Wolverines to a 7-0 lead on his 79-yard TD in the first frame.

Harry Randall exerted his presence, scoring the first of his three touchdowns to give Woodland Hills the lead, 14-7.

Though Christenson tied the game at 17 with his 46-yard field goal, Randall sandwiched two 6-yard scores between a 7-yard TD strike from Levi Metheny to Danny Emma. The Wolverines sealed the victory when Daniel Gibson recovered a BP fumble in the end zone. “Too many turnovers and too many penalties. Plus, we could not contain their speed,” said BP skipper Jeff Metheny of the Wolverines, who moved to 1-1 in the conference and 1-2 overall.

Baldwin at Lebo Both teams look to even their records when Mt. Lebanon hosts Baldwin at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20 in a Southeastern Conference clash. While the Highlanders (1-2) are coming off a 37-21 loss to Penn Hills, the Blue Devils are reveling in their first win of the season after blanking winless Plum, 29-0. Brian Ward rushed for 104 yards in the win. In addition to his 4-yard TD run, Ward returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown. In the victory, Lebo established its passing attack. Kellan Stout, in his first season under center, completed 17 of 36 passes for 118 yards and one TD, a 62yard strike to Troy Apke. The Penn State recruit finished with seven receptions. Shane Lefever also hauled in six passes for 54 yards. Rob Costantino also excelled for the Blue Devils, who are 1-1 in the conference and 1-2 overall. The junior kicked three extra points and three field goals, measuring 25, 26 and 30

Mike Cushma kicked the extra points for CH, which lead 21-18 midway through the second stanza.

Youngstown State, anchors the unit, which also features Joe Pateras, a newcomer at center, having replaced Ian Park, a threeyear starter who is now playing at Amherst. Joe Plummer, Dougherty and Zack Morris have also been mainstays on the line. “It’s the offensive line,” said Morrow, “that has allowed us to play well.” Render agreed. “The offensive line is getting better. We have some new blood in there,” he said. “We are real pleased with (Pateras). He had not played Friday nights much last year and David Dougherty played DL last year. Plummer started defensive line, too.” Those two-way starters, along with the other veterans—USC has 10 starters back on defense—are a big reason why the Panthers have recorded back-to-back shutouts and surrendered only 10 points in their opener to the then No. 1-ranked team in the WPIAL, Woodland Hills. “We’re off to a good start,” Render agreed. “We’ve played great defense and we’ve run the ball well.

“Our defense is playing with confidence and they are smart. They don’t give up too many plays. They are resilient and they adapt.” If the Panthers are to run their record to 4-0 when they tackle Penn Hills Sept. 20, they must continue to do all those things for the Indians, who are also unbeaten in the Southeastern Conference. With their 3721 win over Baldwin, Penn Hills improved to 3-0, its best start in eight years. The Indians boast the

1-2 punch of Billy Kisner and Isaiah Jones. A 5-10, 180-pound quarterback, Kisner rushed for 148 yards and two scores against Baldwin. He ranks among the leading rushers in the WPIAL with 568 yards. A 5-10, 179-pound back, Jones also is a top tailback in the district with over 400 yards rushing. According to Morrow, USC’s 16-10 win over Woodland Hills particularly prepared the Panthers for Penn Hills.

“Not just Peters and Canon-McMillan, but especially Woodland Hills was good preparation for us against Penn Hills,” he said. “We are pumped up for Penn Hills. They have some tremendous athletes but we’d like to show them that we have some good athletes here, too.” And, the state, as well as the region, is noticing. Currently, the Panthers are ranked No. 1 in the state. “We’ve done some good things,” said Morrow, “but we have high expectations for the season. One of the goals is to win at Heinz Field,” he said of the site for the WPIAL Quad-A championship contest in late November. Christmas, rather than Thanksgiving, is on Render’s mind when he considers his team’s ranking in the state. “To me, it’s recognition that you’ve done something right but until it’s decided on the field in the state championship game, it doesn’t mean a whole lot,” he said of the current No. 1 label. “It will be more fun to be ranked No. 1 on Christmas Day.”

flat and senior Callie Gunzenhauser followed one second later. In addition to those 23rd and 25th places, Sadie Saxton followed in 27th position overall with a 20:06 time and Julia Staltari followed in 20:43. Potts and the Lebo ladies take their show on the road again this weekend when they compete

in the Foundation Meet on the Hershey Parkview course, which is the site of the PIAA championships. Also competing in the Invitational are last year’s top state finishers, Unionville and Pennsbury. “We had a great meet and it was so much fun to run on the beautiful course on the Penn State

campus but we are really excited about this run this weekend,” Schreiner said. “We’ll get to see how we stack up against the top teams. “We think we belong on the same course with them. After this weekend, we’ll know how good we are.”

Haley devised schemes that enabled the Cardinals to compete in Super Bowl XLIII. Before being hired by the Steelers in February of 2012, Haley enjoyed a threeyear stint as Kansas City head coach. His Chiefs’ offense led the league in rushing yards in 2010. The team also clinched its first playoff spot in four seasons and Haley earned AFC Coach of the Year honors as voted upon by the national media and was also awarded NFL Alumni Coach of the Year laurels. Haley was also recognized with the Distinquished Alumni Achievement Award, the highest distinction given by the North Florida Alumni Association. The merit recognizes those who have made significant contributions to their profession, community and society. His induction into the USC athletic Hall of Fame equals, perhaps even surpasses that honor, for multiple reasons, says Haley. “To be able to share this with my five children and seeing how happy they are here,” he said, “is really special to me.” Haley and his wife, Chrissy, have four daughters, Taylor, Peyton, Kady and Ella as well as one son, Richard Todd Jr. After the evening’s festivities, which included dinner as well as an onfield recognition prior to the Panthers’ 41-0 victory against Peters Township, Haley returned to the business of righting the Steelers’ ship. “Absolutely,” he said. “We are going to find a way to win and get back on track.”

Saccani top coach In addition to Haley, Rich Saccani was inducted into the athletic hall as a coach. The former math teacher (1967-2001) guided USC to six WPIAL championships during his tenure as tennis coach. He also coached one state singles champion in Martin Sieckman in 1982 and several PIAA doubles winners. The Charleroi native also coached California University of Pennsylvania to its first-ever PSAC women’s title as well as a national championship. “It’s quite an honor,” the humble Saccani said of his induction. “It’s great to be recognized but the really neat thing is seeing all my old players. It’s for them we coached; for them, we did this. They were what made this special. They were what made this possible.” More than a dozen of Saccani’s former players, including Sieckmann, who is also in the sports hall of fame, returned to pay tribute to their mentor. Some of the players came from as far as east as Boston and as far southwest as Houston, Texas. “That means a lot to me,” said Saccani. But then Saccani meant a lot to the program and the players. He laid the foundation for success. USC has produced 14 total WPIAL titles in men’s tennis. Chris Brown spoke of USC’s tennis tradition. The 1985 USC graduate attended Saccani’s induction ceremony and was able to meet many of the players who paved the way for his triumphs. “I felt like I knew them because I’d heard so much about them when I played. Coach Sacanni made sure we knew who had come before us and stressed how STAY INFORMED. BREAKING NEWS IS JUST A 'TWEET' AWAY.

The event is held in memory of LaRoche’s late basketball coach, who in 2010, at age 41, tragically passed away on the court during practice.

Todd Haley important the former players were to the success of the program. Based on the number of players who came back to see Saccani’s induction, Brown added, “I think it’s easy to conclude that Coach had a tremendous impact on all of us. “Coach Saccani successfully turned an individual sport (tennis) into a team sport,” Brown continued. “We always knew we were playing for the team, our school, family and community, and not just for ourselves.” While Brown went on to play one season at Pitt and later coached a successful team in Vero Beach, Fla, at Saint Edward’s School, he said he never experienced the feeling of team that Coach Saccani established so successfully at USC. Occasionally, Brown breaks out the scrapbook compiled during his high school days, from 1982-85, when USC won two WPIAL titles and shows it to his children. “Not to brag,” he said, “but because I’m so proud that I was a part of something so outstanding. Playing for Coach Saccani and at Upper St. Clair produced memories that are invaluable. And, they become more special as I get older.”

SERVING WESTERN PA. SPORTSMEN FOR OVER 60 YEARS

Can a baseball player strike out on only a single pitch? It happened in a Double A game in August of 2013. Vinnie Catricala came to bat for the Midland (Texas) Rock Hounds against the Corpus Christi Hooks and took a called strike. Unhappy with the call by umpire Ron Teague, Catricala stepped out of the batter’s box –and stayed out, at least too long for Teague, who called a second strike. When Catricala still refused to re-enter the box, Teague called strike three… a onepitch strikeout. Lonnie Whitaker was playing golf with his 13-year-old son, Zach, at the Riverpointe Gold Course in Richmond, Texas, when they approached the 6th hole, a par-3. Lonnie teed off and promptly dropped a hole-in-one. Not to be outdone, Zach took to the tee and repeated the feat – back-to-back aces. Odds against that run in the millions. Oh, and by the way, the Whitakers made their magic on Father’s Day. Mike Tice spent his adult life in the NFL, first as a tight end and then as a coach, rising to become head man of the Minnesota Vikings. His last job, defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, ended when he was fired after the 2012 season. So what’s an unemployed coach to do? For Tice, the answer was – play the horses. While all the NFL teams were in training camp for the 2013 season, Tice was at the Del Mar Racetrack, where he picked the winners of six consecutive races –the Pick Six. His $128 ticket netted Tice $100,796, not a full year’s salary for an NFL coach, but not too shabby for a day at the track.

Court to decide if Canonsburg bulldog is dangerous By Emily Petsko Staff writer epetsko@ observer-reporter.com

More than a month after an American bulldog named Zeus attacked a dachshund in Canonsburg, some residents told borough council that the neighborhood is unsafe as long as they are sharing it with the animal. Joe McCay, whose college-aged son owns the dachshund that was attacked, said he has not seen the bulldog outdoors. Yet he worries that it could escape from the Hutchinson Avenue home and jump over the owner’s

six-foot fence, which he described as being an improper enclosure. “Those dogs can jump six to seven feet,” McCay said. “I didn’t believe it. There’s YouTube videos; they’re catching balls 10 feet in the air.” Whether or not Zeus should be considered a “dangerous dog” under state law will be determined by District Judge David Mark in a court hearing Oct. 1. Sean Kenavey, Zeus’ owner, did not say how he would plead to the charge of harboring a dangerous dog. He said he is weighing options that would be the most beneficial for Zeus

and all parties involved. If Zeus is deemed a dangerous dog and Kenavey chooses to keep him, he would have to pay a $500 registration fee each year and post a bond or obtain $50,000 in liability insurance for injuries the dog could cause, according to the state Dog Law Enforcement Office. Zeus would also need to be confined in a proper enclosure, muzzled and leashed when outside, neutered and given a microchip implant. Zeus has been required to follow some of these regulations ever since he broke loose from his enclosure and attacked the dachshund on the cor-

ner of Hawthorne Street and Belmont Avenue last month. Kenavey said workers in his yard were replacing a latch on his fence gate, which allowed the dog to escape. The dachshund, named Sutton, required surgery for an abdomen puncture, lacerated liver and muscle damage. “A quarter-inch, he would have hit the chest cavity,” McCay said. “He would have been dead.” Prior to that incident, Zeus was involved in an altercation with a greyhound named Gracie in Town Park in February. Gracie ran from the area and was missing for 12 days.

Sherry Sulkowski, Gracie’s owner, said she is also concerned that Zeus could attack again. “We’re trying to establish what’s in the best interest of our neighborhood,” Sulkowski said. “It escalates. Each one of these incidents has escalated.” Kenavey, who was not at the council meeting, said he has been following all state regulations. He said Zeus is kept indoors, but he puts a muzzle and leash on him when he needs to go outside. “I don’t know what they want. We’re doing everything we’re told to do,” Kenavey said, adding that

there is “no chance” Zeus could escape. “This has gotten so much press it’s out of control. It’s not like it’s a rabid dog waiting to jump on children and elderly people.” Samantha Krepps, press secretary for the Department of Agriculture, which oversees the Dog Law Enforcement Office, said Kenavey is required to keep the dog in his possession and follow state law until the district judge determines the next step. “We’re waiting for the court hearing, so (the dog) would be deemed dangerous or not,” Krepps said. “That’s what the court hearing is about.”

New diagnostic center opens in Peters Township By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

Convenience and competition is the name of the game when it comes to health care, especially in Peters Township. On Sept. 11, the newest diagnostic center through the Washington Health System held an open house at 4198 Washington Road, the former location of the IRG diagnostic center once operated by Monongahela Valley Hospital. The new center offers diagnostic services including bone density testing, CT scans, echocardiogram, MRI, ultra sound and walkin X-rays and electrocardiogram, mammography as well as walk-ins for laboratory services, including blood and urine testing. Kim Lambert, the health system’s outreach liaison, said the center is open for the convenience

of the patient. Hours are from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. Mark Bowman, the radiology coordinator, said the health system once had space in the rear of the complex and is now branching out with the offering of the diagnostic services at the current location. There is plenty of free parking at the front of the center, including handicapped spaces. James Cook of Canonsburg said he is contemplating switching primary care physicians to the Primary Care-Lakeside near the new center, and attended the open house to see what services were offered. He has Highmark Blue Cross health insurance and was pleased the health system accepts the insurance, including most other major health insurances, including UPMC. Convenience is what

Cook is looking for, he said. In addition to the walkin services, the diagnostic center takes appointments for many of the other tests, Lambert said. Even though the diagnostic center held an open house Sept. 11, the facility has been operational before that, said Kara Tershel, manager marketing and community relations. In additional to the diagnostic center, the Washington Health System operates numerous other services in the Peters Township area including a pediatric and adolescent care office at 2001 Waterdam Plaza, Suite 105; OB/Gyn Care, also at 2001 Waterdam Plaza, Suite 201; Primary Care-Lakeside, 1001 Waterdam Plaza Drive; Children’s Therapy at 1000 Waterdam Plaza, Suite 120; Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, 1001 Waterdam Plaza Drive; and Cardiovascular Care, 1001 Waterdam Plaza Drive.

Improving education

Representatives from the Bethel Park Board of School Directors and Administration welcomed newly-elected State Rep. Dan Miller to discuss legislative issues that impact education. It was a productive and informative meeting that touched on several issues including funding for cyber/charter schools, special education and general education, as well as the pension system and the return of state gaming money to school districts, to name a few. The district welcomed the opportunity to meet with Rep. Miller to begin the process of working together to improve education in Pennsylvania and specifically Bethel Park. Pictured with Rep. Miller (center) are Bethel Park Superintendent Nancy Aloi Rose (left) and School Board President Donna Cook (right).
