Beating bullying Charges on SF victim to be dropped
Bethel Park man to walk at Pitt ceremony – 64 years after taking his last class By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
By Deana Carpenter For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
Close friends and classmates, as well as people who didn’t know Christian Stanfield, were on hand for a celebratory gathering Tuesday evening at Bubba’s Burgers in South Fayette Township. They were celebrating the dismissal of charges against the 15-year-old South Fayette High School sophomore, who was found guilty of the summary offense of disorderly conduct by District Judge Maureen McGraw-Desmet March 19. The conviction stems from a Feb. 11 incident at South Fayette High School in which Stanfield’s mother, Shea Love, said her son used his iPad to record two students bullying him during math class. It was announced Tuesday the charges against Stanfield of which he was convicted in magisterial court are being dropped by the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office. He had appealed the conviction and was expected to go before an Allegheny County Common Pleas Court judge April 29. That

On Feb. 12, Love said she was called to the school after administrators learned of the recording, where high school principal Scott Milburn told her Stanfield committed wiretapping. Stanfield said Milburn made him delete the recording. Also present was South Fayette police Lt. Robert Kurta, who charged Stanfield with disorderly conduct. On March 19, Stanfield was found guilty and ordered to pay fines and court costs.

As John Downs’ daughters were sorting through memorabilia in preparation for his 90th birthday, they discovered paperwork from 1950 that was sent to their father to apply for his degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Downs, who grew up in Wilkensburg and graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1943, was a radar mechanic with the Air Force during World War II. After returning to Pittsburgh, he attended Pitt on the GI Bill, completing all of his credits for a history degree between 1946 and 1950. While his classmates were attending graduation ceremonies, Downs’ was working as a salesman for a South Side mill and mine supply house, where he met and soon married stenographer JoAnne DuScheid. After working in a variety of sales jobs, he took a position at Pittsburgh’s historic J. R. Weldin Company, where he put his love of history to use throughout his career as a pen specialist. During their 63 years of marriage, he and JoAnne raised five daughters in Baldwin – Darlene

Booster clubs face deadline in Peters By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net
About two years ago, the Peters Township School Board formed a Sports Programs and Activities committee, known as SPA, in an effort to have all booster groups affiliated with the district’s sports and activities submit bylaws. At the start, the groups complied with some bylaws being returned to the booster groups for revisions. During a school board meeting April 21, SPA committee chairwoman Lynn Erenberg said all but six of the groups have submitted the revised versions. She said the athletic director did not tell her which groups have the bylaws outstanding. That is when board member Jamison Hardy said he was tired of waiting and proposed a motion that if those six groups did not have the revisions to the board by May 30, the booster groups would lose the use of district property. Loss of using school locations would, essentially, result in the groups losing the major source of revenue, such as concession stand sales. The motion passed, however not unanimously, requiring action by May 30. And while the process of reviewing the bylaws by the board may not be accomplished by the beginning of the district’s fiscal year on July 1,
superintendent Jeannine French said scheduling a meeting to discuss or act on the revisions would show the board the groups’ willingness to cooperate. In other action April 21, the board: • Awarded a bid to Wolfington for three, 72-passenger buses at a cost of $197,820, including the tradein allowance of $46,650. • Awarded a bid to Sugarwood Landscaping for lawn care services at a cost of $37,473. The contract will run from April 22 to Oct. 31. • Awarded a bid to Mariana and Richards Inc. for a base bid of $35,000 that will include an additional 15 percent cap for unexpected repairs for masonry services at McMurray Elementary School. • Announced the board will hold a retreat from 8 a.m.-noon April 26 in the administrative offices to discuss future projects expected in the next four to five years. Each building will be looked at individually. The retreat is open to the public. • Announced a finance committee meeting set for April 28, is being moved to 6:30 p.m. May 15. The board must adopt a final budget by June 30. • Purchased 15 bus cameras from SEON Mobile Surveillances for a total cost of $16,675. The cameras will replace other cameras out for repair and equip new buses.

Police tout merit of Drug Take-Back Day By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net
Experts never advise flushing unwanted or unused prescriptions or overthe-counter medications down the toilet to eventually end up in the water system. For the past several years, local police departments have participated in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, with another collection set for April 26. Those with unwanted or expired medications may leave the items between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. This will be the seventh such event. All of the medication collected is picked up by the federal Drug Enforcement Agency and is burned. Upper St. Clair Township police Lt. James Englert coordinates the collection and has seen a steady increase in the past four or so events in which the township has participated. No questions are asked of those who deposit medi-
cations at the sites. Englert said reducing the bulk, such as taking the pills out of the prescription bottles and placing them in a plastic bag, helps to cut down on the excess. “We pretty much take anything,” he said, adding while not encouraged, syringes and needles may be brought to the collection sites if absolutely necessary. Handling any needle products presents safety concerns. In Upper St. Clair, medication may be brought to the police department in the township building at 1820 McLaughlin Run Road. In Bethel Park, police Chief John Mackey said there are two collection points planned for April 26, one at the Bethel Park Community Center on Park Avenue, and at Highmark Direct in the Norman Center, 1775 Highland Road. “It’s usually older people coming in,” Mackey said. He usually helps at the Highland Direct location. Last collection day, he said a man working at a nursing home collected unused medica-
tions from the patients and asked fellow employees for personal unwanted medication. He appeared with a filled large lawn and leaf bag. The Bethel Park sites will not accept any Epi pens or needles of any types, and also will not accept liquids. Mt. Lebanon police Deputy Chief Aaron Lauth said personnel will be on hand to collect the medication in the Medical Rescue South location at 315 Cypress Way. Relatively new is the collection box, which is available 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week outside the police department offices at 555 Washington Road. Lauth said to use the rear entrance to the police station to access the collection box. Peters Township police Chief Harry Fruecht has been involved in the program since its inception and has added new collection sites this year, including a new drive-through location, bringing the total to four. Police officers will be available to assist with collections at the two Giant Eagle supermarket loca-

tions, in the Donaldsons Crossroads shopping center and the new Market District Express farther north on Washington Road. The McMurray Dairy Bar always participated, and the new owners of Heisler’s Market will remain as a drop-off site. New is the drive-through at Wright’s Methodist Church in Venetia. “We’re making this as convenient as possible for everyone in the township to find a location,” Fruecht said. Like Mt. Lebanon, Peters Township has a permanent drop-off box in the lobby of
the police station available 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Fruecht has seen the collection total increase steadily. About 50 pounds of medication was collected during the first collection, and that number jumped to 235 pounds by the second collection. Weights now exceed 400 pounds on each take-back day. “It’s been a very good program,” he said. “But it’s kind of scary to see the (weights) climb.” Bridgeville and South Fayette Township police do not participate.

Love, who heard the recording, said one boy said to the other, ‘Hey man, you should pull his pants down.’” After several other comments from the boys, the teacher said that if what they were talking about didn’t have to do with math, then they should not be talking. Justin Steele, attorney for Stanfield, said it was not Stanfield’s intent to get the other students or the teacher in trouble. “He said, ‘I just wanted the bullying to stop,’” Steele said. “This kid is the nicest kid you’d ever want to meet.” “I got word today that the charges are going to be dismissed,” Love said Tuesday. “It was the best news we’ve had in a long time.

inadequate infrastructure – even a possible uptick in crime if the development proceeds. Oxford and Green intend to build 120 residential units on the property – 60 of which will be $300,000 town homes. The remaining units will be subsidized housing for senior citizens. In order to proceed, the developers need the property re-zoned from an R-2 to a high-density R-4 residential designation. The proposed senior housing cannot be built under R-2 or R-3 zoning. That leaves something of a catch-22 situation. The developers won’t move for-

Zappala Jr., said in a statement. “We have made multiple attempts to contact the officer who wrote the citation. Those attempts have been unsuccessful. It is our intention to withdraw the citation on April 29 because we do not believe his conduct rises to the level of a citation.” Although the district attorney’s office did not approve of the initial charge against Stanfield, it became involved because the citation was appealed to the Court of Common Pleas. Love said she “got so discouraged” when the magistrate said her son was guilty of disorderly conduct for recording the alleged bullying. However, she added the South Fayette community has been “amazing.” ward with the planning process until the zoning is changed. Residents, on the other hand, prefer to see aspects of the planning process (for example, a traffic study) completed before re-zoning to R-4. Complicating matters is the fact that the Castlegate property is actually part of Mt. Lebanon. So, despite the fact that the proposed development is quite literally in their backyards, Brookline residents have no political representatives involved in the process. Shawn Fox, director of business development and marketing for Oxford, stressed that the developer is committed to considering residents’ views. “We have been in Pittsburgh for 50 years,” he said. “We employ about

“I could not have been happier,” Stanfield said about the charges being dropped. He added that he wants to start a nonprofit organization to make people more aware of bullying. “The goal is to bring awareness to the bullying problem not only in South Fayette but across the country,” Steele said. “It’s for every kid that’s ever been wronged by bullying,” Stanfield added. Hunter Boyd, a 14-yearold freshman at Chartiers Valley High School, attended the gathering Tuesday. She didn’t know Stanfield personally until she met him that evening; however, she said she has been following his story. Boyd said
she used to attend South Fayette but transferred because she was being bullied. “It’s not just him, and it’s not just at the high school,” Boyd said, adding that bullying is just as bad if not worse at South Fayette Middle School. “A lot of people get bullied there. The middle school needs a lot more attention,” she said. State Rep. Jesse White, DCecil Township, who represents South Fayette Township, is working on a bill that would create an exception to the current wiretapping laws in Pennsylvania. “It is called Christian’s Law,” White said. White said the law would
enable anyone being bullied or witnessing bullying on school grounds to record it lawfully. “It’s focusing on the issue, not the incident,” White said. According to Steele, the family is pursuing a civil suit against South Fayette School District. Prior to attending South Fayette High School, Stanfield was enrolled in cyberschool. Before that, the family lived out of state. “They came here (to the Pittsburgh area) because people told them the school systems were great,” Steele said. Steele added the incident in February was not the first time Stanfield had been bullied. “There are reports dating back to September or October 2013,” he said. Dr. Bille Rondinelli, school district superintendent, said, “This is a student matter which precludes the district from discussing it. This is not some-
400 people. We have done lots of apartment buildings, we have done South Hills Village Mall and Monroeville Mall. We care deeply about this community. This is our home.” He and project manager Ben Kelley said the development would go through a multi-stage approval process involving the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Association (PHFA), Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA), Allegheny County Department of Health and even traffic authorities. They promised the April 21 meeting was only the first of many to come concerning the project. Brookline residents worry the development will bring excessive traffic to the neighborhood, dam-
age infrastructure during construction and put further stress on deteriorating water and sewer lines. Another key concern relates to seniors in the subsidized units allowing relatives with drug problems or criminal histories to spend the night in their apartments. A senior housing complex near the proposed development is plagued with crime, residents said, which then spills out into the surrounding neighborhoods. Kelley explained that the senior apartments will have rigorous checks in place to prevent those problems. The state program funding the development mandates all residents (excluding spouses) be 62 or older. They must pass
background and credit checks and their income must be at least 60 percent of the median county income. For Allegheny County, where the median income is about $50,000, that means residents will have to prove income of around $30,000. Kelley also said that the structure of the development’s financing provides for additional accountability. He explained that the state awards developers federal tax credits for building low and medium income housing. Developers sell these tax credits to financial institutions at a discount, using the proceeds to fund such projects. If a developer violates the state’s rules regarding occupancy, the government “recaptures”

thing that can and should be discussed in media.” The school district does have an anti-bullying policy. Steele responded to the school district’s news release, which stated: “The South Fayette Township School District wishes to address recent reports in the local and national media concerning a student of the South Fayette Township School District. It is to be noted that certain information being disseminated by the media is inaccurate and/or incomplete. The school district is legally precluded from commenting specifically in regard to these reports as the issue involves a confidential student matter.” Steele said, “It’s good they made a statement. I’m not sure of what they mean by inaccurate reports. I think we’re all in agreement this wasn’t handled appropriately.” Kurta and McGraw-Desmet declined to comment.
the tax credits – meaning the banks lose their investments. “Believe me, it would be more than just my job if PNC or BNY Mellon lost $12 million because someone wasn’t locking their door at night,” Kelley said. Angela Gaito-Lagnese, who is helping organize the Brookline residents, said concerned citizens will attend the April 28 Mt. Lebanon commission meeting to voice their concerns once more. She emphasized that the majority would like to reach some compromise with the developers, ideally by scaling down the project. “We are not against development,” Gaito-Lagnese said. “We want to work with the developers to find a solution that works for them and for us.”

SF in the wrong in bullying case
C
hildren, teenagers, even adults, can be cruel. This is not new information. Bullying has been going on for ages, but lately, perhaps with the advent of the Internet and social media, a new light is being shed on its serious, serious consequences. According to the website bullyingstatistics. org, bullying victims are two to nine times more likely to commit suicide, and that risk increases with girls ages 10-14. And, lets not forget that the deeply disturbed individuals who commit heinous crimes like mass school shootings and stabbings are often the victims of bullying. The information that is available now, and the focus on many schools and organizations to raise awareness and stop bullying, makes what happened recently at South Fayette High School all the more disgusting and horrible. Christian Stanfield, a 15-year-old sophomore, after being fed up with repeated torment from classmates, recorded an incident of himself being bullied in math class. When school officials learned of the recording, not only did they make him delete it, but he was charged with felony wiretapping – but not before his mother, Shea Love, could transcribe it. The charges were eventually lowered to disorderly conduct, and, following a lot of media coverage and an appeal scheduled for April 29, the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office dropped the charges completely. According to the transcription of the recording, the teacher didn’t step in and stop the bullying – merely, he allegedly told the students that if they weren’t talking about math, to stop talking. We don’t want to hear the excuse that the teacher didn’t know exactly what those boys were saying – in a classroom setting where the teacher has control, it should be quiet enough to hear anything that any student says. To our knowledge, as of press time, the students who were bullying Stanfield have not seen any repercussions to their actions, nor has the teacher. This sends a horrible message to not only Stanfield, but to other students being bullied. It sends a message that their teachers and administrators, who they should be able to trust to protect students, will not do so. It sends a message that bullying, taunting, teasing other students is OK – and it most certainly is not. This story, this case, took the attention off of the matter at hand – bullying – and twisted it into a ridiculous wiretapping case. While we are aware that it is illegal to record anyone in the state of Pennsylvania without their permission, this is a case that went entirely too far. The DA’s office issued a statement saying: “We do not believe his conduct rises to the level of the citation.” If there is any good to come out of this, it is that Rep. Jesse White (D-Cecil Township) is putting together a bill that will create an exception to the state’s wiretapping laws. We fully support Christian’s Law, but we hope that one day, it won’t be necessary.
BRIEF Independence M.S. paving advances Bethel Park School Board members were expected to award bids for the reconstruction and paving of Independence Middle School at a meeting scheduled for April 22. The project will involve removing asphalt as well as some substructure, repaving and electrical work.
In February, the board authorized Hayes Design Group to perform the construction document bidding and construction administration phase services for the project. The district will pay Hayes $75,000. Kevin Hayes, principal of the firm, has said the original lot, which has been patched and repaired, is 40 years old and “way overdue” for replacement.

USC grad proud of IB education In response to “The failure of international baccalaureate evidence” in the April 16 issue, I’m 23 now, but if I learned anything as an IB student at Upper St. Clair, I learned to embrace the dialogue in the face of critics – because there have been a lot of them. I should point out, though, that while my 2009 graduating class of 330 students got into six Ivy League colleges, four of those were from IB diploma students (a tiny group of 10 students). But, don’t take my word for it. Harvard, Yale, Penn, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Stanford, Cornell, NYU, UCLA and Duke all have acceptance rates at least 50 percent or higher for IB students than for non-IB students – and the overall college acceptance rate is 22 percent higher (Source: IGI Services, 2011). I understand the worry about IB … I was there once, too. My parents went the AP route at my age, and so did all of their friends. We had no idea what IB really was. But today, I share my IB education with pride. Because, hey, if the brilliant minds at all the schools up there embrace IB, then I think it’s safe to say we should, too.

(15), and Christian (12) Eppard; Sarah (27), Allison (25), Alex (22), and Sean (18) Edgar; and Kevin (24), Rachel (21) and Laura (15) Buckman. John and JoAnne are looking forward to the birth of their first great-grandchild this summer, as granddaughter Sarah and her husband, Jimmy, are expecting their first child this July. Although Downs’ daughters weren’t sure why their father never submitted his final paperwork, after finding his college transcripts, they brought them to the attention of Pitt administrators to see if Downs was eligible for his degree. Officials reviewed his records, and at his 90th birthday party last month, Downs received a very special gift – the announcement that he would officially earn his bachelor degree in history from Pitt. Downs’ daughters shared the letter that their father received from N. John Cooper, Bettye J. and Ralph E. Bailey, dean of Pitt’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, during his party. Dean Cooper wrote:

Upgrade electronic signals In an ever-continuing effort to protect Mt. Lebanon’s most precious assets, our children, I have proposed that the electronic school signals be upgraded to enable them to operate correctly. The main problem occurs when there is a school delay. Normally, when there is a delay, school starts at 10 a.m. However, the electronic signs flash at their normal early morning time and do not flash during an adjusted, later time, such as 9:45-10:15
a.m. With that situation, our more than 5,000 students are at greater risk going to school. I first proposed the upgrade of the electronic school signs to the Traffic Board on Sept. 4, 2013. Nothing was done, so I spoke to the board a second time on Jan. 8. At that time, I informed them that I had spoken to several school principals and Father Dave at St. Bernard’s. I had the approval of Dr. Steinhauer and that of the PTA. As a matter of fact, the PTA sent a representative to the second meeting I spoke at to support the cause. On Feb. 4, I again spoke to the Traffic Board. At this meeting, the board voted to recommend upgrading the 19 electronic signs in Mt. Lebanon. Now, the “ball” is in the commissioners court. The cost is estimated at $36,000-$38,000. This amounts to a little above $1 per person in Mt. Lebanon, or $7.50 per student. What is the worth of saving a child’s life? Budget concerns are important, but the liability of not taking corrective action could amount to much more than the cost of the upgrade. We are a walking community.

“Your academic record in the College at the University of Pittsburgh between 1946 and 1950 was recently brought to my attention. The Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is the successor organization to the College and I asked my staff to review your transcript within the context of the rules then in effect for College degrees. My staff reviewed requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree, and have determined that you earned the required number of credits, fulfilled the field requirements, and completed a program of study sufficient to define History as your major area of study.” “Everyone had tears in their eyes,” recalled Downs’ daughter, Dianne Lynch of Upper St. Clair, adding that her father was caught off guard by the news. Dean Cooper said, “I am delighted that the academic record of John Downs was brought to my attention and that it meets the requirements for a Pitt Bachelor of Arts degree in history. I wish him heartfelt congratulations on graduating from the Dietrich School.” Since the announcement, Dianne said things have almost been like a fairy tale. She said her father was
recently invited to a luncheon at Pitt at the University Club so members of Pitt’s history department could speak with him. Other family members were also invited to attend, and Dianne said, “They treated us like royalty.” In addition to her father’s enthusiasm about his upcoming graduation, Dianne said her mom has been just as caught up with it, even joking with the academics at the luncheon. Joanne asked one of the professors, “Who is going to hire John?” Downs plans to be at Pitt’s commencement on April 27, with full cap and gown, courtesy of Pitt’s history department. Dianne said her son, Michael, a freshman engineering student, hopes to wear his grandfather’s regalia when he graduates. Downs also plans to attend the history department’s informal gathering before commencement. Joanne and his family plan to be there to cheer his accomplishment – receiving his diploma from Pitt. When asked his thoughts about finally receiving his diploma, Downs said his main lesson in life has been “keep the faith.”
Arnoni added that he is making being proactive with the local students and protecting senior citizens among his priorities in his new job. “He has all the qualities I would look for in a district justice,” said Bethel Park Council President Tim Moury. The swearing in ceremony was a family affair, with Arnoni’s young daughter, Taylor, leading the audience in the singing of “America the Beautiful.” His mother, Josephine Arnoni, held the Bible, while Common Pleas Court Judge Kim D. Ea-
ton administered the oath of office. Taylor and Josephine Arnoni, and well as the new district justice’s wife, Kris, and his son, Nicholas, helped him don his new judicial robe. The ceremony was attended by a multitude of local, county and state officials, as well as Arnoni’s extended family, many friends and wellwishers. “He will be an excellent magistrate,” said Pattie Alaimo, a long-time friend of the Arnoni family. “He’s a good, good person.”

Community garden Last year, St. David’s Episcopal Church, Venetia, participated for the first time in South Hills Interfaith Ministries’ efforts to provide fresh vegetables to its food bank clients. A small garden was cultivated on church property and yielded outstanding results. Of the more than 5,000 pounds of food distributed by SHIM last summer, 600 pounds were provided by St. David’s. This year, the volunteers hope to surpass that total. Work on the planting of the garden will depend on the weather, so it could be anywhere from the

By Deana Carpenter For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
With enrollment at South Fayette High School expected to increase significantly in the coming years, Eckles Architecture has begun the process of a feasibility study to see how much space would be needed to expand the current high school. At an April 15 meeting, David Esposito of Eckles recommended a total of nearly 62,000 square feet be added to the school to house 1,000-plus students. Projections by demographer Dr. Shelby Stewman show that by next year, the high school will have about 805 students, with rates expected to grow from 13 to 16 percent by 2020. “We’ve begun an existing facilities survey,” Esposito told the board at the meeting. He said the firm has been evaluating what the school currently has and what will need to be added. He said there are three main goals of the feasibility study and those are to understand the existing facility, understand the educational programming of the school and understand the physical configurations of the building. As far as classrooms, about 11,740 square feet would need to be added, with another 11,500 square feet of common areas like the cafeteria. “The total of all areas is 61,745 square feet of anticipated architectural area to accommodate that enrollment,” Esposito said. He also added that additional campus needs would have to be addressed like expansion of the baseball fields, track and parking lots. Eckles is also recommending the district have a traffic impact study done as part of the expansion. Cassandra Renninger of Eckles said two proposals were received for the traffic study, which she said would “record counts and analyze potential needs for expansion.” The board did not vote on a proposal at the meeting. Proposals were received from Gateway Engineering and Trans Associates Engineers.

SPORTS BRIEFS Football all-stars Four senior football players from the South Hills have been selected to participate in the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association’s East-West All-Star game set for 2 p.m. May 4 at Franklin Regional High School stadium. Justin Watson from South Fayette headlines the list. The 6-3, 195-pound wide receiver earned Almanac MVP honors with Brett Brumbaugh after leading the Lions to a WPIAL championship and their first state title in school history. South Fayette finished 16-0 last fall. Joining Watson on the West roster are Quad-A products Ryan Sosnak from Bethel Park and Robert Plummer from Upper St. Clair. Sosnak is a 6-3, 290-pound offensive lineman while Plummer is a 6-0, 225-pound defensive end. Both were Southwestern Conference all-stars. Plummer anchored a defensive unit that posted six shutouts. Sosnak started on the offensive line for the Hawks, who finished 6-2 in the conference. Miles Williamson from Chartiers-Houston completes the local flavor on the West roster. A wide receiver, he earned allconference honors three years in a row.

Dori Oldaker is a woman of few words, and even fewer when she receives shocking, yet pleasant news, such as when she learned that she had been selected to coach the USA U18 girls basketball team at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games to be held this summer in Nanjing, China. “Wow,” she said. “Here I am a little old nobody from Enon Valley. “It’s awesome to think I’ll be working with the finest athletes from around the country. It’s a dream come true.” For the past three years, Oldaker has been living a dream working as a court coach for the national team trials held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. More than 125 athletes participate in the trials, which are used to determine the roster that represents the USA. This year’s trials begin May 21. “It’s a coaches’ paradise,” explained Oldaker. “The athletic ability is unbelievable.” Oldaker, who since 2003 has been the head wom-
en’s basketball coach at Mt. Lebanon High School, noted that she had worked with several players that participated in the NCAA Division I national championship game. While she coached Madison Cable in high school, the sophomore forward who averaged 5.5 points and 3.4 rebounds for Notre Dame, is not the only notable with which Oldaker has had contact. She worked in Colorado with Taya Remer from Notre Dame as well as Moriah Jefferson, Morgan Tuck and Breanna Stewart, all from the University of Connecticut. “Five kids in the national title game,” she said. “How neat is that?” Obviously, for Oldaker, who attended Blackhawk High School in Beaver County, seeing the sights will be neat. However, the South Fayette resident has one mission in mind when she travels to the Orient shortly after her 46th birthday in August. “The Great Wall,” she said of the No. 1 tourist attraction. “It’s all everybody talks about. You’ve got to go and see it. “My job though,” she added, “is to go [to China] and hopefully get a gold medal for the United States.”
Mt. Lebanon’s Dori Oldaker will coach the national U18 girls’ basketball team this summer during the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in China.
Bringing home gold has been part of Oldaker’s resume. At Mt. Lebanon, she has compiled a 255-57 record. She owns a 360-75 career record in 15 seasons as a head coach. Oldaker guided the Blue Devils to four straight PIAA championship appearances from 2008-2011, winning three consecutive state banners, including an undefeated 31-0 season in 2009. Before taking over at Mt. Lebanon, Oldaker coached her alma mater. She led
the Cougars to WPIAL and PIAA Class AAA titles in 1999 and 2000. Five times Oldaker has been named The Associated Press Pennsylvania Big School Coach of the Year. In 2005, she was honored as the Johnny Unitas Sportsmanship Coach of the Year and as the WPIAL Quad-A Coach of the Year and in 2001 she was tabbed as the Dapper Dan Sportswoman of the Year. Inducted into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Western Pennsylvania Girls’ Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001, Oldaker earned every honor imaginable as a player, including Beaver County co-Athlete of the Year in 1986. She set several scoring records at Blackhawk and she played collegiately at Penn State University. While she has the resume, Oldaker is still coping with her selection as coach of the national squad, which will be a unit of four players competing 3-on-3 rather than 5 versus 5. “I’m still grasping with the news myself,” she said. “I’m excited of course, but I’m still learning about it. To be honest, I don’t exactly know what it all entails. But I’ve worked with that age group, so the experience
I’ve had the last two times will help. Once I’m in Colorado and working with the team and players, I’ll know more.” From May 30 through June 1, teams will compete in the 3-on-3 national championships, and from there Oldaker will try to pick four players for the team that will travel to China. The U18 Youth Olympic squad will travel Aug. 16-28 to China. “I’m nervous and excited,” she said of the journey. “Obviously a lot of thought has to go into this and what needs to take place because this affects a lot of people.” The journey impacts Oldaker’s family and students. Her husband, Mark, will stay back in the states and help ready the couple’s two young children for the new school year. Mark and Dori have two daughters, Taylor and Ryan. Oldaker also teaches second grade at Washington Elementary School. While she said that one never knows what doors an opportunity such as she has been afforded opens, Oldaker assures she will return to teaching and coaching in the Mt. Lebanon School District. “I’m not leaving,” she said emphatically.
BP’s win over CM causes logjam in Section 5 While Peters Township held the top spot in Section 5-AAAA, Bethel Park created a logjam for second place in the league after the Hawks edged Canon-McMillan, 4-3, in 11 innings. At the top of the week, BP and the Big Macs were deadlocked with Mt. Lebanon. All sported 3-2 records in the division though Canon-Mac was 8-3 overall just as the Indians were. In the extra-inning affair, Jake Zufall picked up the win. In three innings of relief he fanned six batters. A wild pitch scored Carmen Jasante with the winning run. Highlights for the Big Macs included a triple by Teagan Piechnick and two RBIs from Jared Beach. Piechnick has been the Big Macs’ big gun. He started the season with a streak of 10 consecutive hits. During the spree, which included six walks, the senior centerfielder crushed four homers, three doubles and three singles. He scored 12 runs and drove in 10. Heading into the game against the Hawks, Piechnick had been batting .633 with a .750 on-base percentage. He had six homers, 17 RBIs and 21 runs scored. Piechnick tripled in a 4-1 win over Brashear. Trevor Schreckengost doubled while Clay Martin and Matt Mish combined for the triumph on the mound. After a non-section game at Trinity, the Big Macs
hit a critical stretch in the season with section games at home against Upper St. Clair and Bethel Park April 24 and 30 and visits to Mt. Lebanon and Peters Township on April 28 and May 2. Meanwhile, Peters Township improved to 8-3 overall with a non-section win, 140, against Albert Gallatin. The Indians, who are 4-1 in Section 5, smashed five homers in the contest. Frank Jezioro cranked out two roundtrippers while Phil Zeffioro, Brett McIntosh and Jack Bittel socked solo shots. Jezioro also doubled. The junior outfielder drove in six and scored two runs. Kyle Lewis also smacked a double. Ryan Black earned the win on the mound. Matt Gummersbach recorded a save. The pair teamed up for a two-hitter. After a scheduled battle with Mt. Lebanon (April 22), the Indians were scheduled to host Bethel Park April 28 at Peterswood Park and visit Upper St. Clair April 30 at the BoyceMayview Complex. They also host Canon-McMillan at 7 p.m. May 2.
Day tripper Tyler Day tagged a threerun roundtripper to highlight Chartiers-Houston’s 13-0 win against Charleroi in Section 2-AA baseball action. Miles Williamson doubled to back up a five-inning shutout performance on the mound by Ryan Mele.
Hoop champions The Bethel Park fifth grade boys defeated Thomas Jefferson, 28-16, and captured the championship in the Bethel Park basketball tournament. Pictured are: (front) Zach Sackett, Jake Ackerman; second row: Larry Kusan, Shane Hamel, John Harmon, Danny DelBene, Jack Goodrich, Ethan Nerone; back: (coaches) Bob Nerone, Ed Harmon and Larry Kusan.
Joe Zufall struck out seven, scattered six hits and walked three in picking up a 4-3 victory against Peters Township in nine innings. In three innings of relief last week, Zufall fanned six batters and earned the win as Bethel Park also edged Canon-McMillan, 4-3, this time in 11 innings.
Meanwhile, the Lady Buccaneers blanked Washington, 14-0. Kassie Kesneck tossed a three-hitter and struck out four. Kayla Alderson and Jalynn Myers each doubled in support of Kesneck.
Lady Macs win Canon-McMillan blanked Mt. Lebanon, 100, in girls’ softball action. Tara Fowler tossed a onehitter. At the plate, she drilled three hits. Offensively, Giorgiana Zeremenko stroked a homer while Abby McCartney smacked two doubles and drove in three runs. Linda Rush and Olivia Lorusso each also contributed dou-
bles. During a holiday break in North Carolina, the Lady Macs recovered from a 9-3 loss to Alexander Central and swept South Carolina squads: Chapin, 9-1, York, 6-3, and Summerville, 6-5. Against Summerville, which reached the South Carolina state semifinals last year, McCartney smacked a three-run homer in the first frame. Rush drilled a double and a single to drive in two runs.. In the win against Chapin, Zeremenko doubled and drove in two runs. Rush had two hits, including a two-bagger. Against York, Rush was 3-for-4 with two doubles. Zeremenko also doubled. Fowler and Rush were named to the all-tournament team.
Lions in first South Fayette blasted Ringgold, 14-0, and remained atop the Section 2-AAA standings, improving to 6-1 in the division and 7-1 overall. Ashley Iagnemma struck out 12 batters and scattered three hits in picking up the win on the mound. Offensively, she drove in five runs. She doubled, as did Sara Jubas. Emily Bryan contributed two hits and two RBIs.
ball hitter of the week. The Washington & Jefferson College shortstop led the Presidents (16-6) to a perfect 6-0 record by batting .478 (11-for-23) with three home runs. She scored 10 of the team’s 46 runs and posted a 1.000 slugging percentage. The Peters Township High School graduate sits atop the PAC statistical leaders in hits (35), home runs (4) and runs scored (25). She was a NFCA second team All-Central Region choice a year ago after setting the program record for career hits (62). She entered this week five base hits away from tying the school record of 181 set by Amanda Howard in 2009. Cunningham already owns the school record for career doubles (43) and needs to score only five more runs to break Howard’s career record.
PT beats Brashear
Kelly Perich struck out 10, scattered three hits and walked four in leading Peters Township to victory, 8-5, over Brashear in high school softball action. At the plate, Perich smashed a base hit and scored two runs. Marissa Wickstrom drilled two hits, including a double, scored twice and drove in a run. Lindsay McKnight, Carly Konopka, Cunningham named Molly Campbell, Megan Kelsey Cunningham of Bastyr and Jamie Stowers McMurray earned Presi- collected the Indians’ other dents’ Athletic Conference hits. Briana Smith drove in honors as the league’s soft- two runs.
PT wins CV League Peters Township A team won the 2014 Chartiers Valley Youth Basketball League. The fifth grade squad posted a 14-3 record and defeated Upper St. Clair, 41-32, in the championship contest. The team posted a 35-9 overall record. In addition to the CV League, the team played in the Pine Richland League, going 14-2 and participating in three tournaments. Pictured from left are: (front row) Sean Welden, Austin McKinnon, Ben Yeates, Julian Mascio, Logan Pfeuffer; (second row) Michael Peyton, Joe Wise, Corban Hondru, Tyler Messman, Christian Schreiber; (back, coaches) Mark Mascio and Scott Yeates.

Northwood Realty Services announces a new opportunity for greater Pittsburgh area residents to show pride in the places they call home and boost the reputation of their communities. The Northwood Neighborhood Awards is currently seeking nominations. “Unlike other broad neighborhood recognitions, the Northwood Neighborhood Awards program is a new way to highlight distinctive or special places on a micro-level,” said Tom Hosack, CEO and president of Northwood Realty Services. Any resident may nominate a deserving neighborhood within Allegheny, Butler, Washington or Westmoreland counties, across a range of categories through April 30. Winning neighborhoods will be announced June 15. For more information or to submit a nomination, visit www.northwoodknowsneighborhoods.com.
By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
Maybe it was the never ending winter. Maybe it was the age-old tradition of spring cleaning. Then again, it could have been temporary insanity. Whatever the motivation, I recently decided it was time to tackle some home improvement projects. High on the list was painting the living room and hall. Five or six years ago, I started thinking of painting the aforementioned rooms, going so far as to buy sample jars of paint. But life happened, and the paint samples were forgotten on the workbench. Earlier this winter, we re-discovered the samples, testing the colors by painting swaths under some of our paintings, which gave us time – months to be exact – to decide on our favorite. Thanks to modern technology, we were still able to purchase the color we wanted, as well as a can of aqua paint to freshen up the bathroom. Like most projects, this one was starting to take on a life of its own. Paint and painting supplies in hand, I was ready to get to work. Because it had been quite a while since I last painted, I decided to tackle the bathroom first. It’s a smaller room with less trim, and since the weather was still cold, the exhaust fan would be put to good use. After removing and cleaning all the fixtures, it was time to start. The ceiling was quickly painted, and I felt pretty good about what I had done so far. But, as usual, pride goes before a fall. While trimming out the room, I spilled the small container of paint on me, not once, but twice. Each spill involved cleaning the floor, my clothes, and myself. I finally finished trimming, and moved on to rolling, which took no time at all. All that was left was painting the baseboards, a project for the following day. The next morning I was up early, ready to tackle phase two of the bathroom project, when I was joined by my basset hound, Annabelle. She positioned herself between me and the baseboard and no amount of coaxing or treats could persuade her to leave. Praying the entire time that she wouldn’t stand up, I decided to use her as an arm rest, which worked rather well. She did get a little paint on the tip of her tail and one ear, but it didn’t seem to bother either her or the baseboards. Remember that weekend at the beginning of April, where the sun was out and the temperatures had warmed up? Neither do I,

but trust me, it happened, as that was the weekend we painted the living room and halls. My husband was home this weekend, so we tackled the project together. Our first step was the ceiling. After hours of reaching overhead and countless trips up and down the ladder, I had a crick in my neck and my thighs were crying. Deciding it was time to call it a day, I went to the laundry room to clean our equipment while my husband went to pick up dinner. Little did I know that lurking in my laundry tubs was a hairy spider of epic proportions. Moving carefully, I turned on the water full force, flushing my creepy nemesis down the drain. The next morning, after coffee and ibuprofen, it was back to work. Breaking out our trusty Purdy brushes, we started edging. And edging. And edging. It’s a big room. Eventually, we finished and got to the quick part, rolling. Easy job, right? For the most part, except for the five or six times I bumped the ceiling with the roller. Back downstairs to get the ceiling paint for touchups. Carefully, I covered up the spots, with all going well until I sneezed! It was back to the wall color again.
A few days after we had everything in order in the living room, spring finally decided to pay an extended visit to Pittsburgh. Seeing signs of green under the leaves and detritus left over from winter, it was time for a few outdoor chores. Grabbing my rake, clippers and cart, I started cutting off the dead growth from last year and raking away the leaves. I was making good progress until I raked a big pile of leaves from under the deck, which generated a loud shrieking sound – first from something in the ground, followed a split second later by a shriek from me. While I don’t remember moving, by this time I was a good 10-15 feet away from where I was originally standing, with a small black critter coming toward me. As someone who detests rodents of all types, this was not a good thing. I kept backing away, but it still kept coming. Gathering what little courage I had, I decided to move toward it, vowing that if it had a long tail, I was going to trap it with my rake. Getting closer, I was relieved to see just a stub of a tail. Then I noted that its ears seemed rather long for its body and realized I had uncovered a rabbit’s nest. Since the uncovered

rabbits were still squealing, the first order of business was to rake a pile of leaves back over them. But what should I do with my adventurous friend? He was still following me, so I tried to gently “shoo” him back toward the nest with my rake. Once he started moving in the right direction, I backed away and hoped he would make it there safely. Checking later in the evening, the nest seemed to be intact, but a few days later it was empty. Since there were no signs of foul play, I’m hoping mama rabbit heard about the latest school rankings and moved her babies to Mt. Lebanon!

PACC reaches out with compassion, support
I
t’s been 10 years since their dream became reality. Providing opportunities for individuals whose disabilities could make their futures uncertain was a commitment Peggy Mannella and Arlene Blair believed in. Eager to proceed, more than a decade ago they began planning programs from their homes. And in 2004, PA Connecting Communities (PACC) was off and running. Improving the quality of life for men and women with significant limitations and meeting their diverse needs with patience and dedication was their goal. PACC’s guiding principles: integrity, inclusion, self-determination, self-advocacy and acceptance of choice and individuality remain steadfast. To maximize the potential of reaching as many as possible and to do what they can for individuals with special needs, PACC recently opened its newest care center at 564 Washington Avenue in Carnegie. PACC received the “Excellence in Organization Activities” award from Achieva and strives to continue to be an industry leader by serving individuals with disabilities and their families. With compassion and understanding, the caring staff of dedicated professionals assist both men and women, enabling each one to live as independently as possible, not only to cope with everyday life, but the special challenges even socializing can bring on.
Todd Randoph, case worker; Michelle Gindlesperger; Dawn M. Smidga, director of vocational services; William Jones, visitor; and Seth Ringold, director of transition services, gather at PA Connecting Communities’ new location in Carnegie.
By meeting with individuals and their families, much is learned about likes and dislikes. Outings to movies, dinners, dances, sporting events and programs to introduce daily life skills are planned with a focus on the whole person. Vocational evaluations are also made to assess each client’s
skills, abilities and interests through academic and cognitive skills. PACC offers vocational planning, life and social skills and transitional development for ages 14-21. The first high school picnic and games day is set for July 12 at the Home Economics Building in South Park. PACC’s staff currently serves
an estimated 3,000 individuals in seven counties, including Allegheny and Washington and a mailing list of more than 6,000 including school districts and other providers. By heeding to the needs of individuals, families and caregivers and valuing the holistic approach, PACC works diligently to provide life-
enhancing opportunities. In the South Hills, PACC offers special needs participants many opportunities in educational, training and social programs including: • Bowling, AMF Mt. Lebanon, April 26, May 3, 10, 17. • Dinner & Movie, South Hills Village, April 29 & May 27. • Café Cooking, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Upper St. Clair, Thursdays, May 1-22. • Chorus, Mt. Lebanon U. P. Church, Thursdays, May 1-June 5. • Watercolor painting, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Upper St. Clair, May 6, 13, 20. • Pirate game/dinner, May 23. • Baseball, Casey’s Clubhouse, Upper St. Clair, June 4, 11, 18, 25.

Church, 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. First by treating each client with respect and dignity and by focusing on their abilities, not their disabilities, the PACC staff integrates vulnerable individuals into programs and helps each one to interact more effectively into communities.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Pittsburgh artist Qualters gives talk at Peters library By Deana Carpenter For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
Noted Pittsburgh artist Robert Qualters recently spoke about his paintings at an April 14 presentation at the Peters Township Public Library. He also discussed the release of a compilation of his works in a book by Vicky Clark titled “Autobiographical Mythologies.” Born in 1934, Qualters is originally from Clairton and has lived the majority of his life in Pittsburgh. He was the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Artist of the Year in 1985 and has a permanent collection at
the Carnegie Museum of Art in Oakland, the California Museum of Art and the Westmoreland County Museum of Art. His works are also displayed in the main offices of several businesses, schools and government agencies. He has also taught at several colleges and universities. At the library, Qualters presented a slideshow of several of his paintings and a short summary of each. His paintings often have four core colors – red, blue, yellow and black – and one accent color. He is also known for his intricate paintings that often include text in the borders.
M
uch of what I do, and what many artists do, is based on our own experiences.’ Robert Qualters
“I do put words in my work. Some of them are mine, and some of them I steal,” he joked. Qualters also takes cues from his own life and puts them on canvas – or paper or even wood carvings. “Much of what I do, and what many artists do, is based on our own experiences,” he said, referring to a painting that featured himself at the age of 19 returning home to Pittsburgh from ba-
sic training. “I’m telling stories, which is what my art is about.” Another painting he showed the people in attendance was of him trudging through the snow near the steel mills in Clairton. He added that he doesn’t like empty space in his paintings, which is why the sky is either filled with snow, rain or leaves. “I like skies with something in them,” Qualters said. “I like the complexity of the world more than the simplicity of the world.” He also said he likes using the same image in various ways in his art. Of leaving virtually no space untouched in his works, Qualters said, “More is more.”

SUMMER CAMP
What to consider before choosing a summer camp
S
Regardless of the type of camp parents are considering for their kids, they should ask about what daily life at the camp is like. Ask to see schedules and how strictly camps adhere to those schedules. When considering specialized camps, ask the staff representative if kids will have the chance to simply have a little fun and which types of recreational activities are planned to give kids a break from what are often rigorous schedules.
ummer camp is often something kids look forward to, and something they will fondly recall long after they reach adulthood. For many kids, summer camp provides a first taste of independence, as youngsters spend significant time away from home without their parents for the first time in their lives. But as great an experience as summer camp can be for youngsters, it can be just as difficult an experience if parents don't find the right fit for their children. That's why it behooves parents to start thinking about summer camps for their kids in winter, before camps start filling out their rosters, which tends to happen in early spring. The following are a few things parents should take into consideration when seeking a summer camp for their kids.
Camp goals
Staff
The right summer camp staff can make all the difference. Many children are understandably shy when arriving at a summer camp, as their friends from back home might not be joining them. That can make kids hesitant to participate in activities or less enthusiastic about those activities. But a good staff will know how to make kids feel welcome, which should help them come out of their shells and make the most of their summer camp experiences. The quality of staffs can vary
Look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster relationships with fellow campers. significantly depending on the camp, so it's important that parents ask camp representatives about their staffs before making any commitments. Ask how long the staff has been together and the types of training new and even veteran staff members undergo before the start of camp season? Does the training include first aid and emergency medical training and certification? It's also good to ask about the
vetting process the camp employs before hiring new staff, including the extent of its background checks. Are criminal background checks conducted? How many references must potential staff members supply to be considered for employment? A good camp will be forthcoming with answers to all of your questions, so eliminate those that appear hesitant to share information about their staffs.
A day in the life When vetting camps for kids, parents should ask what a typical day is like once the season hits full swing. Many parents want their youngsters to have a wellrounded experience, while others might want their kids to attend a more specialized camp, whether it's a sports camp focusing on a particular sport or a music camp devoted to helping kids become better musicians.
Another thing parents must consider before choosing a summer camp for their kids is the goals of each individual camp. A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kids have fun, even when kids are attending more specialized camps that tend to be more strict. In addition, parents should look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster relationships with their fellow campers. Camp can be lonely for some youngsters, especially those attending summer camp for the first time, but a summer camp that strives to promote friendship among its campers can reduce, if not eliminate, any feelings of homesickness. Late winter is when parents should start looking at summer camps for their kids, and there are a host of factors moms and dads should take into consideration during the vetting process to ensure their youngsters have as much fun as possible. ■

Keeping kids active once the school year ends
n many ways, today's kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly yearround commitment, and the dualincome household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels. But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedule might find themselves with lots of time on their hands. Though it's good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation during their summer break, it's also important for kids to stay active so they don't develop poor habits as the summer goes on. In addition, the American Psychological Association notes that kids who are physically active are more capable of coping with stress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who do not include physical activity as part of their regular routines. The following are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways to keep their kids active throughout the summer while still allowing them to recharge their batteries after a long school year. ◆ Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families
Take advantage of the summer weather by taking the kids for an afternoon of swimming at a neighborhood pool as often as you possibly can.
go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Though it's still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring. Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more fully, getting them off the couch not only while they're on vacation but also when they return home for the rest of summer.
Yoga Summer Camp Kid inspired fun! Our little yogis are encouraged to explore, discover and have FUN while building strength, increasing flexibility and learning to focus their minds.
Kids will participate in fun yoga poses, group activities and games, life lessons, obstacles courses, snacks, arts and crafts, making a camp journal with photos, thoughts and pictures, and receive a t-shirt!

◆ Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locally-produced
foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment. ◆ Go swimming. Few adults who work in offices haven't looked out their windows on a sunny summer day and thought how nice it would be to be spending that afternoon making a few laps in a lake, at the beach or in a pool. Kids have the same daydreams during the summer, so take a day off every so often and take the kids for an afternoon of swimming. Swimming is a great activity that exercises the entire body, including the shoulders, back, legs, hips, and abdominals. In
addition, swimming helps kids and adults alike maintain a healthy weight while also improving their cardiovascular health. It's hard for some people to find a place to swim once the warm weather departs, so take advantage of the summer weather and go swimming as often as possible while the kids are not in school. ◆ Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet. Many of today's kids are as tech savvy as they are busy. But it's important that kids don't spend too much time online or on the couch watching television or playing video games. Such activities are largely sedentary, and they can set a bad precedent for the months ahead, even when the school year begins once again. Parents should limit how much time their youngsters spend in front of the television or the computer during summer vacation, keeping track and turning the TV or computer off if they suspect kids are spending too much time staring at the screen instead of being active. Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off or minimize their access to social media, but explain the limitations at the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to be physically active even if it is summer vacation. ■
