Overturned gay marriage ban relief for local couples By Francesca Sacco Staff writer fsacco@observer-reporter. com
Deb and Susan Whitewood were sitting on their back porch, the same place where the couple decided to file a federal lawsuit against Pennsylvania’s ban on gay marriage, when they learned the ban was overturned May 20. “I’m terrifically excited,” Deb Whitewood said. “This isn’t a ruling in favor of our family, but a ruling for all of the gay and lesbian families in the state of Pennsylvania.” The South Fayette Township couple, two of their children, a widow and 10 other couples challenged the state’s law barring same-sex marriages. U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III called the plaintiffs courageous in his ruling.

ton County Courthouse last June 24. Their request was denied, but that didn’t stop them. The couple married in Maryland last October on their 20th anniversary. After quickly “skimming” the 39-page decision, Deb Whitewood said the ruling recognizes marriages performed legally in any of the other 17 states that previously had given legal status to gay marriage. Oregon became the 18th state to legalize same-sex marriages May 19. Pennsylvania became the 19th. State marriage bans have been falling around the country since the U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The Pennsylvania lawsuit, filed last July, was the first known challenge to the state law that effectively banned same-sex marriages and the recognition of
gay marriages from other states. Gov. Tom Corbett’s office defended the law after Attorney General Kathleen Kane refused, on grounds that it was unconstitutional. An appeal of Jones’ ruling is likely. Same-sex couples and their supporters around the state were celebrating May 20. David Huffner and his husband, Jason Schneider, have been together for the last 15 years. At 54, Huffner doubted he’d witness this until he was in his 80s. “I was pleasantly surprised,” Huffner, a member of the board of the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network in Pittsburgh, said of the ruling. “Things like this take a lot of time.” Huffner said he immediately started to cry when he SEE COUPLES PAGE A3

Scott pool drained for repairs
Those hoping to take a dip in Scott Township’s pool will have to wait. Though it was originally slated to open Memorial Day weekend, a surprise leak required that it be drained for emergency repairs. The time frame to do the repairs is not yet known, so a new opening date will be announced as information becomes available.
A new memorial to local men who died in World War II was unveiled at Chartiers Valley High School on May 23 during a program titled “The Legacy Lives on...Remembering Local Heroes of WWII.” At the beginning of the school year, a plaque bearing the names of 17 local soldiers who lost their lives in World War II was found in the basement of the school. The plaque had once hung in the now-closed Rennerdale School. When the plaque was first discovered, superintendent Dr. Brian White tasked social studies teacher Robert Rodrigues to find stu-

PennDOT, Pennsylvania State and local police are partnering for a nationwide “Click It or Ticket” seat-belt enforcement through June 8. Three hundred and fifty law enforcement agencies across the northeast with increased enforcement at state borders will focus on nighttime operations, using Traffic Enforcement Zones and roving patrols. Pennsylvania’s primary seat-belt law requires drivers and passengers under the age of 18 to buckle up, and children under the age of four must be properly restrained in an approved child safety seat. Children ages 4-8 must be restrained in an appropriate booster seat. In addition, children ages 8-18 must be in a seat belt when riding anywhere in the vehicle. Also, drivers and frontseat passengers 18 yearsold or older are required to buckle up.

While he said family and friends have always embraced he and Schneider as a couple, he said the ruling affirms their relationship. “It’s remarkable to see this swing in public opinion.” The Washington County Courthouse was closed May 20 in observance of the primary election, but Kathy Cameron, chairwoman of Washington County Gay-Straight Alliance Inc., believes people would have been waiting there in the hours leading up to the release of the decision.

Bridgeville Historical Society honors local soldiers By Deana Carpenter Staff writer dcarpenter@thealmanac.net
A new exhibit at the Bridgeville Historical Society is commemorating the lives of local soldiers who died in times of war. A reception was held May 24 to highlight the exhibit during Memorial Day weekend. In addition to the things inside the historical society’s building on Station Street, there were also military vehicles displayed outside. Put together primarily by Joseph Oyler, a lifelong Bridgeville resident, the display recognizes men and women from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam. Oyler made posters with deceased soldiers’ pictures and short biographies. There were also military

The Lesnett Family was and still is a prominent family in the Bridgeville area. Another Lesnett, Christian, fought in the War of 1812. Civil War casualties from the Bridgeville area are also remembered in the display. “Twenty-six members of Bethany Church served in the Union Army,” Oyler said, adding of those, six were killed.

Designing and constructing the actual monument on which the plaque is now placed was also tasked to Chartiers Valley students. Student Jamie Shafer of Chartiers Valley designed the memorial. She is enrolled in the school’s CAD program and was instructed by Chuck Barber.

He said he was drafted into the military at age 18 and joined the Air Force. He went on 23 missions in Europe flying a Ball Turret Gunner. “My first mission, I shot down a German plane and had an engine knocked out,” Magliocca said.

Our own community was represented by 17 young Collier Township men who served our country and paid the ultimate price. Today is clearly a day of celebration as we honor the brief lives of these young men.” “This memorial is a permanent fixture,” White said. “It is our intention that this plaque from the second world war is only the beginning,” White said, adding that he hopes to have an annual event honoring area soldiers from each American war. The soldiers listed on the plaque are: Leonard Facciotti, Marines; Joseph Garin, Army; Kenneth Heasley, Army; John King, Army; Owen Lewis, Marines; Stanley Malinowski, United States Armored Tank BN; Russell McConnell, Army; James McGrogan, Army Air Corps; Charles McLaughlin, Army; Stanley Polanski, Army; John Stripp, Army; George Trumpeter, Navy; John Turner, Army; Harry Walls, Air Force; Frank Wilson, Navy; George Woods, Army; and Robert Yeager, Air Force.

Opinion EDITORIAL
Proud to be from state of PA
P
ennsylvania has long been known as a state that is behind the times, particularly when it comes to our antiquated laws. But last week, we joined the ranks of 18 other progressive states – along with the District of Columbia – when U.S. District Judge John E. Jones declared Pennsylvania’s restriction to marriage between one man and one woman unconstitutional. In 1996, Pennsylvania changed it’s statute of marriage to be defined as between one man and one woman. We are proud that the ruling came as it did, and we are even more proud that two of the defendants who initiated the case, Deb and Susan Whitewood, are from South Fayette (two of Whitewoods’ children, a widow and 10 other couples all filed a federal lawsuit challenging the ban last year). And, in another point of pride, we are thrilled that Gov. Tom Corbett, a Roman Catholic, has no plans to challenge the ruling, despite his statement that he, personally, believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman. He’s caught some fire for making the statement about himself and his politics rather than about marriage, but the bottom line is that he is accepting the ruling and recognizing its strength. Thanks to the decision, so many couples who are so deeply in love will now be able to make their commitment official. Couples immediately began applying for marriage licenses, some even asking for the three-day wait period to be waved. And why not – after all, many had waited decades for the opportunity to legally wed. These couples will finally be treated like other married couples when it comes to health and retirement benefits, taxes and basic rights. Perhaps, too, those who aren’t tolerant of the gay lifestyle just might come around. Marriage isn’t about a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. Marriage is about love, and thankfully, Pennsylvania finally agrees.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sleepy Hollow project disruptive Rockets red glare. Bombs bursting in air. Here on Sleepy Hollow Road, there are no “rockets red glare,” but there sure are “bombs bursting” every second of every day for almost a month. The Mt. Lebanon “road crew” is installing catch basins on our street. Something you must know up front – Sleepy Hollow is one of the most heavily traveled roads in the area, spanning Castle Shannon, Mt. Lebanon and Dormont. Thousands of cars go through this road daily. The speed limit is 25 MPH, but it is hardly ever enforced, and speeding is a big problem. So, wouldn’t you think that if a big road project was going to be done, the powers-that-be would just shut the road down and detour traffic? But, that is just too simple for these Mensa administrators in Mt. Lebanon. Many people, including me, called public works, the Mt. Lebanon Police and Senator Matt Smith’s office to complain about the noise. We complained to the work crew, too. It is one thing to have to put up with the noise all day, but not all night. You cannot place metal sheets across a cement road and expect quiet. Secondly, I believe it is a state law that drivers must reduce speed to 15 MPH at a work site. But no signs were posted, and no police were present at rush hour for the whole time

Of course, I had the answer: SHUT THE ROAD DOWN! But, they were not interested. The question I have is – why weren’t they interested in helping their residents get a good night’s sleep?

Open burning hazardous to our health
As a longtime resident of Peters Township, I am very saddened by the continuing unhealthy practice of allowing open burning in our township. My son and I have been medically affected by this practice for the last three years due to new housing development land clearing burning, and now a neighborhood individual land clearing burning. I have tried numerous times to have our municipality consider the research presented by the EPA about the health risks of open burning. These health risks include sudden death, heart attack, cancer and multiple lung diseases to name a few. Many states have banned open burning statewide. These risks are greatly increased in children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. As a mother of three children, I am scared for our health status if we are continually exposed to these carcinogens produced by open burning. I guess Peters Township doesn’t really care about the health of its citizens. Trudi Alexander Peters Township

Administrators and school directors in South Fayette took a few moments at the May 20 school board meeting to remember board member Frank Morelli, who died earlier this month. According to his obituary, Morelli died from a cardiac incident on May 5. He was 45. “You all know our board member Frank Morelli passed away recently,” board president Leonard Fornella told those in attendance at the meeting. “He was a loving husband, a devoted father and a loyal South Fayette Lion,” said superintendent Dr. Bille Rondinelli. “He was a dedicated school board member and a dear friend to many,” she went on to say somberly. She also remembered his “beautiful, contagious smile” and how
he was “always willing to share ideas and information.” “We already miss his personality and presence,” Rondinelli said. “He will always be remembered in our hearts.” Fornella added, “He was a terrific board member and above all, a gentleman.” Later on at the meeting, district solicitor Fred Wolfe told the board members they have the authorization to name a replacement for Morelli’s position until the next election. His term was set to expire in November 2015. Wolfe said it could be something for the board to consider discussing at the May 27 meeting.
High School Construction Cassandra Renninger of Eckles Architecture and John Taromina of P.J. Dick presented options for the possible expansion of South Fayette High School.
The main option presented by Renninger would extend the two existing academic wings. Renninger said the academic wings on the upper floor could be extended. Additionally, flex space would be added to the center, which could be used in a variety of ways. In the first option, the existing media center would be opened up and another flex space added. In this option, Renninger said there would “still be more space for future expansion.” The high school theater would be expanded by 150 to 180 seats and blackbox theaters, an informal, smaller type of theater, would also be added. A wrestling room was also proposed in this design, which could be added on the back of the athletic side of the building. A total of 20 classrooms would be added, as well as three more science labs to make a total of five. In all, 47,000 square feet of new
academic space would be added, Renninger said. Board president Leonard Fornella said that at first glance, “it doesn’t look like enough space.” Board member Teresa Burroughs said she would like to see other drawings with more space presented at future meetings. As far as how the twowing addition would be constructed, Taromina said it would be done in phases, and that from start to finish the project could take 26 to 28 months total. He said that would be for Eckles to design, for the bids to go out and to procure contractors. Taromina said the portion of the building not under construction would be sealed off so that students could still attend class while the work is being done. Renninger said the next step is to “expand upon the options and talk about costs and the building scope.”

Students produce television show on healthy snacks By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net
The Food Channel may have a national audience, but for the students in kindergarten through third grade at Bower Hill Elementary School in the Peters Township School District, the locally-produced “Snack Scene” is top rated. Each week, students appeared in the show that revolved around healthy snacks and eating, and culminated in a “Junior Top Chef” competition. Every Wednesday at exactly 3:15 p.m., the show that taped in the morning aired in classrooms throughout the school. The concept, new for the 2013-14 school year, was the brainchild of Tammi Hanak, speech pathologist at the school, and Meghan Myers, a second grade teacher, after they attended a conference. Fifteen shows were taped, plus the “Junior Top Chef” episodes. Recipes were submitted by the various grade levels, along with ideas from ad-

ministrators and teachers. “We did not have anything that involved using an oven or really sharp knives,” Hanak said. Myers added that the recipes included plenty of fruits and vegetables, with an emphasis on bananas, lots of bananas, Hanak said.

The recipes were complied into a small cookbook entitled “Cooking With Buzzer at Bower Hill Elementary,” based on the school’s mascot, a bee. The subtitle is “Snack Smart, Drink Right, and Move More at Bower Hill.” The school’s PTA is selling the
cookbook for $1 with the proceeds going to offset the cost of food for the shows during the 2014-15 school year. Some of the healthy recipes include graham cracker cheesecakes, a student favorite, Myers said. Preparation is easy and includes

mixing one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of vanilla with one cup of ricotta cheese. The mixture is spread on cinnamon graham crackers and topped with a sliced strawberry or other fruit. Hanak said once the cooking show featuring the cheesecake recipe aired, she heard that because of the demand, the local Giant Eagle supermarket ran out of ingredients. “The kids love (the show) and they stop me in the hall and say they made the recipe at home the night before,” Hanak said. During the next school year, Hanak said they hope to introduce the students to kitchen safety and tie the snacking show with the health curriculum. Another goal is to find a way to air the shows on other venues like the local cable channel or You Tube. Funding for the 2013-14 school year was through a Just Move grant, Myers said. Because of the success of the program, Hanak said about 100 recipes were submitted, but not
used and will be kept for next year’s programs. In addition to the cooking demonstration show, students were treated to a discussion by a district paraprofessional – a trained dental hygienist – who talked about how snacks and food affect teeth. There were also visits from local dieticians and a fitness professional. “We wanted to make sure the kids could go home, open the fridge and make their own healthy snack,” Hanak said. One of the favorites around the holidays was the Grinch Hat Kabobs, where a green grape and a slice of banana are placed on a large toothpick or bamboo skewer followed by a hulled whole strawberry and topped with a minimarshmallow. Starting children young on a healthy diet is important. Myers, the mother of a 1-year-old boy, said she makes all of his food. “Anytime we can get the kids to try different things, that’s awesome,” Hanak said.

Bethel Park Council supports senate and house radar bills By Susan Schmeichel For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
Bethel Park Council has joined other municipalities across the state in supporting state house and senate bills that would allow local police officers to use radar to enforce speeding. Council voted May 12 in favor of the resolution, put forth by the Pennsylvania State Mayors’ Association Radar Coalition, in support of state house bill 1272 and state senate bill 1340. The bills would include a change that would allow all police officers, not only members of the state police, to use the speed enforcing tool. Pennsylvania is the only state that does not allow the use of radar by local law enforcement. Heading up the initiative in support of the proposed legislation is Whitehall Mayor and President of the Pennsylvania Mayors’ Association James Nowalk. “It’s worst than an unfunded
mandate,” said Nowalk. “We have the resources and we’re not allowed to use them. It handcuffs the police.” According to the Radar Coalition, radar is already being used to enforce speed limits in over two thirds of the municipalities in Pennsylvania because those municipalities are patrolled by state police, not local law enforcement officers. Nowalk quoted National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics which list Pennsylvania as the state with the third highest number of speed-related fatalities in the nation. Mt. Lebanon Police Chief Coleman McDonough said radar is an important safety tool. “It’s user friendly, very efficient and can be used on any terrain. It’s very simple and portable, just point and shoot,” he said. Giving local officers the ability to enforce speed with radar could save lives, the chief said. McDonough debunked the notion that municipal police would use the radar to write
more speeding tickets. “It’s not a very effective way to raise revenue,” he said, explaining that the cost a municipality pays for a police officer to go to court and defend a speeding charge is higher than money earned from the speeding tickets. “The numbers just don’t add up,” he said. Not all local municipal officials are optimistic about the chances for the state bills to pass. “It has come up a couple of times, but doesn’t seem to go anywhere,” said Peters Township Manager Michael Silvestri. “It definitely has support, but always seems to fall short.” However, Bethel Park Mayor Jack Allen said it is worthwhile for the municipalities to support the legislation. “It’s an opportunity to use (radar) if we want to,” Allen said. Nowalk said he believes sponsors of the bills have a very good chance of getting the legislation, which he said has bipartisan support, passed this time.

The Rotary Club of Bethel Park named Bethel Park High School senior Zac Enick as its April Bethel Park High School Student of the Month. Zac was recognized for his leadership efforts the past three years with the Bethel Park High School Student Government Association, culminating in his election as Student Government president for the 2013-2014 school year, where he has overseen all of the activities and fundraising efforts of the organization. Zac was also recognized for his contributions to Bethel Park High School as a member of the Football Team, Top 21 Choir, French Club and French National Honor Society.

Peters elementary students sell animal trading cards By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net
Boyan Scholarship recipients
Independence Middle School Teachers Shannon Welsh and Elisa Scheuerle presented Connor Namuth, Ross Martin and Alex Bioni each with a $1,000 scholarship from the Marissa Boyan Foundation. The scholarship is named in memory of former Independence Middle School teacher Marissa Boyan, who passed away after a brave battle with cancer. The scholarship annually goes to a student who possesses the zest for life and athletics that Marissa did. In addition to receiving the scholarship, the three students were invited to a special event to celebrate their accomplishments, as well as Marissa’s life, to be held on May 12 by the Marissa Boyan Foundation. Pictured are Shannon Welsh, Ross Martin, Alex Bioni, Connor Namuth and Elisa Scheuerle.
At the tender age of 12, Sydney Cicchini and Kate Hardy consider themselves entrepreneurs. The girls, both in the sixth grade at McMurray Elementary School in the Peters Township School District, designed and sold animal trading cards to fellow students during recess and lunch and recently donated a portion of the profits to the Washington Area Humane Society. The reason for the project was simple, according to Kate, daughter of Tammy and Alex Hardy. “We were bored and we started imagining creatures,” she said. Soon, a game concept was devised with different combined animals on each of the
27 cards. Each card has a point value depending on an element, such as fire and ice. Sydney, daughter of John and Lori Cicchini, acted as the illustrator for the project. After receiving permission from the school board, the game cards were sold at recess and in the cafeteria in either a series for $3, or the entire deck of 27 cards for $7. “It’s a little like War,” Kate said. MERP, the copyrighted name, stands for Making Every Real Pet Special, and that is why half of the profits were donated to the humane society. “We both love animals and we have animals from the shelter,” Kate said. Sydney said she has been a great friend of Kate’s for as long as either can remember.
With the school year ending soon, the girls said they will continue to sell the cards next school year when they go to the Middle School. Kate said they also hope to offer the cards for sale in local stores. To launch the small business, the girls had help through Junior Achievement, and the printing of the laminated cards was done through a friend of Sydney’s father. Kate’s mother, Tammy Hardy, said the girls also began a business, K&S Enterprise and the cards are copyrighted. In the future, Kate plans on being on Broadway, and Sydney is still undecided, perhaps something in the art field, she said. For now, they just like being young entrepreneurs.

Canonsburg’s Pastoral Care program marks 30 years By Deana Carpenter Staff writer dcarpenter@thealmanac.net
Volunteers from the past and present gathered for fellowship and to be recognized for their service to Canonsburg Hospital’s Pastoral Care Department on May 22. The reception was also held to celebrate 30 years of the program at the hospital. The program began in 1983, but in 1984 the volunteer component was added by the Rev. Carol Ross Irwin. Now headed by the Rev. Cathy Peternel, chaplain at Canonsburg Hospital, the program boasts 40 volunteers. The volunteers, also called eucharistic ministers, visit hospital patients

daily to pray with them from many different area and offer them comfort in churches and represent what can often be a trying many different faiths. time. The volunteers come “We can go in and be a
source of encouragement,” Peternel said. Volunteers come in once a week or so and visit with between five and 10 patients per shift. Over the 30-year span of the program, the volunteers have dedicated more than 63,000 hours to ministering to patients. “I started it because there was more need than I could do by myself,” Irwin said. “It’s really exciting for me to see how far it’s come.” Irwin left the hospital in 1986 and now pastors a church in Franklin Park. “It’s so exciting and great to see old friends,” she said. Irwin added it was great to see that what started out as an idea 30 years ago has “turned into a ministry that has helped hundreds if not thousands of patients.”
Many of the volunteers are retired from working, including Jack and Betty Heidler of Canonsburg. The couple has each given more than 3,000 hours of their time to the program. “I’m only 90,” joked Jack Heidler at the reception. He says he keeps volunteering because “it’s nice meeting people.” Betty Heidler added, “You always receive more than you give.” “It’s been a life-saving thing for me,” said Ruth Kulish of Canonsburg, who started volunteering about 10 years ago, after her husband passed away. “It’s been the most rewarding experience,” Kulish added. She has 500 volunteer hours so far at the hospital. “You forget about your problems because you’re
focusing on the patients. You walk away feeling grateful,” Kulish said. “The people really appreciate having someone come in,” said Aldine Benner of Upper St. Clair. Royce Karpy of Eighty Four is one of the younger volunteers and works fulltime as a commercial real estate broker, but makes time to volunteer at the hospital every Monday. “It’s been a wonderful journey,” said Karpy, who has volunteered in the program for about five years. “The time of prayer is really incredible.” During her closing remarks at the reception, Peternel, near tears, told the volunteers: “I can’t tell you what you folks mean to me. You’ve been such a blessing to me. I watched the Lord handpick you.”

PT parents unhappy about changes to music program
By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net
When administrators in the Peters Township School District saw a consistent dip in test scores for the major core courses, such as mathematics, science and English, for middle school students, a decision was reached to change the daily schedule to include more time devoted to the core subjects and to make changes to the music program. The changes will take effect with the start of the 2014-15 school year. Even though the district contends notice was sent to the parents through email blasts, a letter and an invitation to a meeting to discuss the changes, several parents attended the school board meeting May 19 to express their
displeasure and to say they had not heard of the changes until recently. Alison D’Addiecco, 102 Highland Drive, said neighboring Upper St. Clair School District tried a similar switch, making certain music programs an extra-curricular activity, and have noticed a significant drop in the number of students in the high school band. When D’Addiecco told the board parents would “be watching” what the board planned to do, her comments were met with applause from the audience. When parent Robert Marshall, 107 Willoughby Ct., asked if the changes were “a done deal,” superintendent Jeannine French said the changes were an ongoing process in an effort to improve the test scores of students in the core subjects, particularly among fourth-graders. Of the 12 music teachers in the district, five teachers were serving 1,000 students in the middle school, while the remainder worked as teachers for the district’s remaining 3,200 students. Until the changes were made, students at McMurray Elementary were pulled from core subject classes to attend music, reducing the number of hours each

student received in basic subject instruction. Marshall said he would like to see better communication from the district to the parents. Even though French said numerous letters and emails were sent, she said the district must do a better job of communicating. In other action, the board: • Approved creation of a 10-member math team for grades kindergarten through sixth grade. • Approved a tentative agreement between the district and

ing school year. However, Milton Barney’s name was deleted from the list as high school marching band director and as director of the high school marching band camp. Board member Jamison Hardy made the motion to delete Barney’s name, and when asked following the meeting as to why he requested the exclusion, Hardy declined to comment citing personnel issues. • Accepted donations of numerous technology items at Bower Hill, Pleasant Valley and McMurray elementary schools from the Peters Township PTA Area Council. • Increased the high school athletics fee from $90 to $100 per sport with a $250 maximum per year. The other fees remain the same for the upcoming school year. • Authorized the administration to advertise for bids to replace the high school band uniforms. • Authorized the administration to solicit proposals for district solicitor services. • Announced the only regular board meeting in June will be held June 30, when the final budget and possible tax increase will be approved.
Climate Control
Q
Watch out for Carbon Monoxide!
A
It’s odorless, colorless, and extremely dangerous. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States, according to the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Each year between 250 and 300 people die at home after breathing CO that seeps from a faulty furnace or other heating device or from a blocked chimney above a woodstove or fireplace. Once inhaled, CO enters the blood, causing body tissue to starve for oxygen. Early symptoms include headache ad nausea. Many fatalities occur at night, while victims are asleep. The CPSC recommends 2 vital steps to protect your family. Have a licensed technician check your heating system annually, and install a CO detector in your home, near the bedrooms. If the air’s CO content rises to a dangerous level, the detector will sound an alarm. Make sure the brand you buy is labeled “UL2034,” meaning it meets the standards set by the Underwriters Laboratories testing service. A CO detector can be purchased at Tim Fife Contracting Inc. Please give us a call at 9412037. We want you to be safe.

Battaglia leads Blue Devils to WPIAL lacrosse title By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Attack and fast. That combination proved the recipe for success for the Mt. Lebanon ladies’ lacrosse team. The Blue Devils jumped on Quaker Valley quickly and kept up the pace to post a 9-7 victory in the WPIAL Division I championship match played at Highmark Stadium. “We felt the faster we move,” said Lebo head coach Brian Kattan, “then the others can’t keep up with us.” The Quakers certainly couldn’t keep pace with Alyssa Battaglia. The senior fired in five goals in leading Lebo to victory. Megan Gibbons supplied two tallies while Allena Holzworth and Anna Albers completed the Blue Devils’ scoring attack. With under a minute to play in the first half, Battaglia already had the hat trick and the Blue Devils owned a 6-2 advantage. Battaglia tacked on two more tallies at 12:29 and 2:27 in the second half. “We attacked and kept moving the ball quickly,” said Battaglia. “We definitely didn’t want to get caught off guard.” Lebo certainly didn’t let that happen. The Blue Devils struck first on a goal by Holzworth seven minutes into the contest. Though Annie Henry tied the contest, 1-1, Albers provided Lebo the lead it would not relinquish with 16:35 to play in the first half.
The Mt. Lebanon ladies celebrate their first WPIAL lacrosse championship in eight years after they defeated Quaker Valley, 9-7, in Division I action at Highmark Stadium.
Mt. Lebanon’s Alexa Turkovich looks to make her move to the goal and subvert the defensive strategies of Quaker Valley’s Hannah Blizzard and goalie Aubrie Tarris. Lebo defeated QV, 11-9, in the WPIAL Division I lacrosse final.
Mt. Lebanon goalkeeper Carina Barnes and defender Sophia Klaber knock the ball out of the possession of Lexi Meanor during WPIAL Division I lacrosse action. Although Meanor scored two goals, the Blue Devils held off Quaker Valley, 9-7, to win their first title since 2006.
The tally set the stage for Battaglia. She scored the first of her three goals at the 14:47 mark. Though Henry scored a second time, Gibbons gave Lebo a two-goal cushion with her score at 10:21. Battaglia followed with two more tallies before Lexi Meanor narrowed the gap, 6-3, with two seconds remaining before intermission. Though the Quakers pulled to within two goals on Meanor’s second score five minutes into the second half, Battaglia would not let her teammates down. She triggered a Lebo rally that also included another goal by Gibbons. “She looks to herself to lead,” said Kattan. “She goes out there and is a team leader. She’s done that for four years for us. Nothing’s changed. She’s so even keel.” For four years, Battaglia has welcomed the moniker of leader. She started as a freshman. She’s been at her best during the post-season, says Kattan. “When I have a big game, the team generally gets excited,” Battaglia explained. “That makes it better all around for us.” Carina Barnes made things better, too, for the Lebo ladies. She played a strong game in the nets. “She had a big game,” Kattan said. “All year, she has done a great job. Good kids come up big in big games.” For the program, the contest was huge because Lebo

Bitter pill Chartiers Valley swallows tough lacrosse loss By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Julie Gould described Chartiers Valley’s 11-9 loss to Shaler in the WPIAL Division II girls’ lacrosse championship match at Highmark Stadium as a “bitter pill.” Indeed the defeat, the Lady Colts’ fourth straight in a final and second in a row to Shaler, blemished an otherwise 13-2 season for one particular reason. “We played poorly as a team,” Gould said. “As I was giving out the (second-place) medals, they were all apologizing to me,” continued the CV head coach. “They know

they did not play well.” Shannon Lynch, however, did play well. The junior midfielder exploded for six goals to lift the Titans to victory. “She killed us,” said Gould. “We expected that (type of performance) from her.” Despite a pair of goals from Maria Stamerra and tallies from Hope Tornabene and Margo Mason, the Colts trailed, 8-4, at intermission. However on goals by Stamerra, ShyAnne Toomer, Alivia Cangelier and Tornabene, CV knotted the contest, 8-8, to start the second half. For much of the game

Knetzer takes silver to pace area athletes at states By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
All that glitters is not always gold. Just ask the area athletes, who garnered medals at the PIAA track and field championships over the weekend in Shippensburg. Their earnings shimmered almost as brightly. Addy Knetzer secured silver in the shot put with a toss of 42-4 ¾. The Chartiers-Houston senior trailed only Kailyn Clancy. The California senior, who will throw at Iowa State next year, won with
a throw of 45 feet, 6.75 inches. It was Clancy’s second straight state title. For Knetzer there was no shame in second. Since her freshman year, when she threw only 30 feet, Clancy has been an inspiration. “She is so good and to have her in the WPIAL with me, she is not necessarily pushing me, but I’m trying to catch up to her,” said Knetzer. “It’s tough that I couldn’t beat her, but I’m happy to be here. She has made me better. If it weren’t for her, I may not be as good as I
am now.” Knetzer was good enough for 10th in the discus. That was four slots behind Clancy. Bronze was the color that hung around the necks of Dejalynn Peterson from Chartiers Valley, Kelsey Potts of Mt. Lebanon and Alec Rideout from Canon-McMillan. While Peterson took third in the 400-meter dash in 56.33, Potts claimed that spot in the 1,600-meter race won by Brianna Schwartz from Shaler. A junior, Schwartz won the race in 4:46.95. A sophomore, Potts posted a
4:50.13 time, good enough for a spot on the NFHS’s honor roll. Rideout took third in the discus with a throw of 181-3. Hempfield’s Max Adams won the event with a toss of 198-3. A senior, who will throw at Marietta College while pursuing an engineering degree, Rideout also finished fifth in the shot put. Fifth was another favored finish by three other area standouts. Mitch Walko of South Fayette finished fifth in the high hurdles with a 14.67 time. That was .65 off the pace the junior set in the semifinals when he beat Mon-
tae Nicholson. A Michigan State football recruit and Gateway senior, Nicholson won the race in a time (14.02) good enough for the NFHS’s honor roll. “I wrecked all of the hurdles,” Valko said. “I almost kissed the ground on the third one and had to make up from there.” Troy Apke and Jillian Hunsberger also provided strong showings for Lebo. Both are seniors bound for Penn State. While Hunsberger took fifth in the 3,200 run with a 10:53.36

Rebels reach WPIAL finals
Going for three Canon-McMillan takes on Shaler in WPIAL final By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
By virtue of a come-frombehind victory against Latrobe, 7-6, Canon-McMillan (18-3) will attempt to win its third straight WPIAL softball title when the Lady Macs take on Shaler (17-3) at 7 p.m. May 29 at Lilley Field on the California University of Pennsylvania campus. “It’s hard not to feel nervous,” said Michele Moeller. “We’re the No. 1 seed.” And, for good reason, the Lady Macs are. They are the defending PIAA champions and winners of 14 of their last 15 playoff games. Plus, they boast an offense that averages roughly 11 runs per game. They have also smacked 50 home runs this season alone. Brittney Crawford launched the 50th round tripper in the first frame against the Wildcats. The left fielder’s solo shot, however, did not ease Moeller’s mind. “I was talking to the umpire when Brittney hit the home run,” Moeller said. “He said, ‘Are you feeling okay now?’ And I said, ‘No.’” Even though Olivia Lorusso doubled home Abby McCartney, who had singled, with a second run in the stanza, affording Canon-Mac a 2-0 advantage, tense times lay ahead because the Wildcats exploded for two tallies to knot the game, 2-2, at the top of the second. Latrobe tacked on three more runs in the third and another in
the fifth. Behind 6-3, the Lady Macs exploded for four runs in the bottom of the sixth. Tara Fowler ignited the rally, leading off the inning with a single. Taylor Bruno replaced Fowler on the base paths after hitting into a fielder’s choice. Bruno moved to second on Jade Kemp’s sacrifice. CanonMac then strung together four straight hits. Linda Rush doubled, scoring Bruno. After singles by Crawford and McCartney and a wild pitch, Lorusso stroked a two-run single. “We know we can hit the ball,” said Lorusso. “We’re always like the comeback team. After we get down, we’re like ‘okay, it’s time to pick it up.’ I wasn’t too nervous to be honest. It’s so satisfying and exciting.” The game did not end without a little more excitement as the Wildcats refused to go down easily. They loaded the bases with one hit in the sixth and put a runner on in the seventh. But, CM pulled off a double play to end the threat and the game. Fowler, who snagged the liner back to the mound and doubled off the runner at first base, picked up the win. She struck out two and walked three in recording her 14th win of the season. Meanwhile, in facing Shaler in the WPIAL finals, the Big Macs face a similar club to themselves. The Titans pounded Bethel Park, 10-0, in five innings in their quarterfinal match. They defeated Penn-Trafford, 4-1, in the semifinals. Amanda Sartori, who

smacked a homer against BP, collected two hits and an RBI against the Warriors. Lauren Miller is another key batter as is A.J. Nichols. Both drove in runs against P-T. Brianna Dobson helps herself at the plate—she had two hits in the semifinals—and leads the Titans on the mound. During the regular season, she struck out 84 batters. But, the Lady Macs’ lineup is a virtual “Murderers’ Row” with Robert Morris recruits, Lorusso and McCartney, leading the hit parade. Lorusso leads with 15 homers and McCartney has tagged 11 round trippers. Lorusso has driven in 43 and McCartney follows with 40 RBI. The pair are batting .549 and .597 respectively.
Rush is tops with a .605 average and 12 two-baggers. She has launched nine homers and driven in 38. Though hobbled by a bad ankle, Giorgiana Zeremenko is batting .455 with 10 doubles, five homers and 23 RBI. The senior catcher is flawless behind the plate, committing no errors. Additionally, Kemp and senior Ally Bellaire are batting over .400 with .444 and .412 averages respectively. Bellaire has four homers. Even Crawford, a freshman, has her share of long balls with five to go along with a .382 batting average. Shaler is a traditional softball power. The Titans have been to the WPIAL finals eight times. Shaler, like Canon-Mac, has two championships but the last occurred in 2005.
Seton-La Salle edged Deer Lakes, 3-2, and advanced to the WPIAL Class AA baseball championship game against Steel Valley (18-2). The finals were set for May 27 at Consol Energy Park in Washington. The Rebels knocked off the Lakers (15-5) in the eighth inning. Kevin Curran tagged the key hit. His single scored Nico Popa from second base with the decisive run. Though the Rebels trailed by a run they knotted the game in the seventh. Matt Reinmund scored the equalizer on a sacrifice fly by Danzel McKinley-Lewis. Popa earned the win in relief of David Boehme. Boehme tossed seven innings, surrendering one earned run, before yielding to Popa. With the win, SLS improved to 15-5 overall. The script proved successful for the Rebels in their quarterfinal contest as they knocked off top-seeded Neshannock, 3-2, in nine innings. Liam Sweeney drove in the game-winner with a base hit. The Ironmen reached the WPIAL finals by topping Quaker Valley, 1-0, also at Fox Chapel. The Quakers were seeded No. 2 in the tournament. Derek Morrison singled in the sixth to drive in the winning run for Steel Valley, which improved to 17-2 overall. The Ironmen are the No. 3 seed in Class AA. Brandon Donovan and Morrison are the Ironmen’s aces. Against the Quakers, Donovan carried a no-hitter into the sixth stanza. He retired the first 11 batters in
the game. He struck out 10 to bring his playoff total to 23. Meanwhile, Morrison was 5-0 during the regular season with 43 strikeouts. Boehme has been SLS’s top hitter. During the regular season, he ranked No. 11 in the WPIAL with a .528 average. Matt Wilke batted .474.
SLS, KO ousted
Keystone Oaks as well as Seton-La Salle’s dreams of softball championships were dashed in the WPIAL semifinals. While undefeated Beaver edged the Golden Eagles, 2-1, in extra innings, defending Class AA champion, Deer Lakes thumped the Rebels, 10-1. In the loss to the Bobcats, freshman pitcher Lauren McMillan struck out five and scattered six hits, including two by Tayven Rouseau. Casey Farkasovsky fanned 10 batters in recording the win for the Bobcats, who also scored in the fourth frame when Jada Justice singled to drive home Ashley Kondracki. KO scored its lone run in the sixth. Though the Rebels jumped ahead, 1-0, in the first frame, Deer Lakes exploded for 12 hits and scored multiple runs in the third, fifth and seventh stanzas. The Lakers notched five runs in the seventh. Tiffany Edwards limited the SLS bats to five hits. The season, however, was not over for one of the local clubs. KO and SLS battled each other last night (May 27) at North Allegheny for the final berth in the PIAA Class AA softball tournament. The state championships begin June 1.
Bethel Park third in WPIAL Black Hawks qualify for PIAA volleyball playoffs By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
By reaching the Final Four in the WPIAL Class AAA boys’ volleyball tournament, Bethel Park qualified for the PIAA championships. The Black Hawks open state action against Central Dauphin today (May 28) at 5:30 p.m. at Altoona. BP drew the No. 3 seed out of District 7 by virtue of North Allegheny’s sweep against Norwin, 3-0, in the WPIAL finals. The title marked the Tigers’ eighth in a row. In the semifinals, NA dispatched the Hawks, 3-1. The Tigers won the first two games, 27-25 and 25-27, before the Hawks won the third, 25-23. NA clinched the win with a 25-16 win in game four. The Tigers led by as many as 10 points in the last game. According to Tom Allman, the first game proved pivotal for BP. “We didn’t finish the first game well or it may have been a different match,” said the Hawks’ head coach. “When we lost the first game we had too high of a hill to climb against such a good team.” Slow starts and falling behind proved fatal for the Hawks during the competition as well. “NA controlled the play with their blocking and their defense,” Allman continued. “Conversely we did not block or track their hitters very well. They ran a quicker offence than what we were use to. We fought well but ran out of energy in the end.” Jake Dixon had plenty of energy on the front line. The sophomore led with 22 kills on 52 swings. The outside hitter also had two service aces but no blocks.

Jake Dixon soars above his teammates to spike the ball against North Allegheny. Despite 22 kills by the sophomore, Bethel Park fell to the Tigers, 3-1. NA won its eighth WPIAL volleyball title in a row but the Hawks qualified for the PIAA tournament as the No. 3 seed out of District 7. They face Central Dauphin May 27 at Altoona in the opener of state playoff action.
Middle hitter Brandon Hanson posted 26 kills and an ace. He had three blocks and four digs. Lenny Chorney, hitting right side, finished with nine kills and three digs. From the libero position, Danny Burke collected 38 digs. Bethel Park defeated Seneca Valley, 3-2, in the quarterfinals. After pouncing on the Raiders, 25-17, leading by as much as 12-4 and 21-11, the Hawks dropped the second and third games, 25-18 and 25-23. “We started with a lot
of fire and confidence in the first game,” said Allman. “In the second game it was just the opposite. We missed serves and made unforced errors, both hitting and passing the ball. The third game was a dogfight. Both teams battled back and forth with no big momentum swings.” Though Seneca Valley carried the momentum of a service ace and a block for the two-point win in the third game, BP altered its service rotation and that proved a difference. The Hawks won game four, 2519, and then their spot in
the Final Four with a 15-10 win in the short, fifth game. While Burke recorded 23 digs and “passed the ball well,” Dixon led with 25 kills and four aces. Chorney racked up eight kills and two “big” solo blocks. Hanson submitted 10 kills and seven blocks. “The team as a whole played well under pressure,” explained Allman of the Seneca Valley match. The Hawks felt the pressure in the first round of the tournament. They needed four games to dispatch Plum in the opener. The Mustangs won the first game, 25-17, before BP swept the next three sets, 2515, 25-20, 25-19. “Plum came out hot and we started out sluggish and nervous,” Allman said. “We made too many mistakes in all aspects of the game, passing, serving, hitting and blocking.” According to Allman, Game 3 was the turning point. BP had four service aces and four blocked kills. Even though the Hawks won by five points, “frustration” set in for the Mustangs. BP controlled the action in Game 4 and clinched the match with a service run of four points by Thorsen and Burke. While Dixon had 23 kills and three aces, Chorney recorded 12 kills and two blocks. Hanson had three solo blocks and 12 kills to go along with three aces. Noah Blanc was a personnel change in the middle and, according to Allman, did a great job, collecting two solo blocks and two kills on four swings. Burke again passed well and had a “great game defensively.” “We changed our blocking scheme to try and funnel the attacks into the middle as much as we could,” Allman said. “That seemed to make a difference.”

time, Apke placed fifth in the 100-meter dash in 10.85. Though Apke lowered his semifinal time by .08, Demetrius Lanier from East Stroudsburg South won the race in 10.64. Lebo’s showing at states capped a successful spring for the Blue Devils. While the ladies finished third in the district team standings, the boys took runnerup honors as a team in the WPIAL. There were several other standout efforts additionally for Lebo throughout the season, including that of Jon Heagy. The senior scored a personal record when he cleared 6 feet, 3 inches and clinched second place in the high jump at the WPIAL championships. He placed 14th at the PIAA championships with a leap of 6-2. While medals were awarded to the top eight finishers at states, Lebo’s Claire Dougherty and Jil-

lian Linkowski managed solid showings in their premier events. A sophomore, who also excels in crosscountry, Dougherty clocked a 2:17.05 time for ninth in the 800 run. Linkowski was 15th in the long jump, which was won by Hempfield’s Maddie Holmberg. Also notching ninthplace finishes for Lebo were Audrey Gordon in the 1,600 with a 5:05.40 mark and Joe Ferari in the pole vault at 13-06. The 4-by-800 relay scored ninth as well with a 9:21.25 time. Bethel Park had a pair of medalists. Alexandra Stevenson placed seventh in the discus with a toss of 130. The junior added 11th in the shot put. Bill Ruschel, a senior, secured seventh in the triple jump. Other noteworthy showings in Class AA included: • Caroline DeFrank from Bishop Canevin; 11th in the 3,200. • Natalie Hilton from South Fayette; ninth in the 1600 run with a 5:13.75 time. • Kasey Buchholz of Keystone Oaks, 19th in the triple jump.

Mt. Lebanon lacrosse team finishes runner-up to Shady Side By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Less than 12 hours after a 7-2 loss to Shady Side Academy in the WPIAL Division I championship game at Highmark Stadium at Station Square in Pittsburgh, the Mt. Lebanon boys’ lacrosse team was back on artificial turf practicing. Back to the basics would be the lesson of the day at the Blue Devils’ stadium. “They’ll remember this lesson,” assured head coach Mike Ermer of the bitter defeat that ended Lebo’s reign as district champion. “Fundamentals have helped us in the past but they failed us,” added Ermer of the decision against Shady Side. “That’s a product of our inexperience. We teach them these things,” he added of the basics, “but sometimes

had not won a WPIAL title in lacrosse since 2006. The Blue Devils had not been in the finals since 2008. Plus, they had lost in the semifinals four of the past five years. “This means a lot,” said Battaglia of the title. “Since losing last year, we have been motivated. We wanted this title. This has been a goal for so long.” For Battaglia, her future goals include attending Penn State. She hopes to play club lacrosse for the Nittany Lions while earning a degree in secondary education or library science. She hopes to teach and coach lacrosse one day, perhaps at her alma mater. “That would be wonderful,” she said of the prospects. “Whether it’s here [at Lebo] or not, I’d still love to coach and teach.” Battaglia’s scholastic career is not over, however.

We want to go as far as possible.” Kattan believes his squad can. “We have a good shot,” he said. But, he added of Wednesday’s contest, “it would be the first state win in Lebo history.”

She finished with three goals. Alyssa Battaglia exploded for five tallies. Lebo had lost to SSA four of the past five seasons in the semifinals.

Brendan White knotted the game, 2-2, for Lebo, Marous registered back-to-back goals, giving Shady Side a 4-2 advantage with 40 seconds left in the third frame. “Marous is a great athlete. We certainly tried to be cau-
tious of him and be aware of him at all times. “He’s certainly a difference maker,” Ermer continued, “but he wasn’t the difference. One couldn’t pick out one point. It was a collective effort.” Collectively Lebo featured nine seniors including captains Matthew Lee, Tim Donoghue, White and Brian McMullen along with John Marshall, Mark Kokot, Caleb Reynolds, Ben Marks and Louis Lucerne, who scored the team’s initial tally at 6:47 of the first frame.. The rest of the roster comprises underclassmen including leading scorer Sam White and top playmaker Brian Kelly. Both are juniors. “We have no four-year letter winners,” Ermer said. “Our youth showed all season. I’m pleased to get to this point.” Meanwhile, Shady Side reached the point as cham-

Gould said her players “all looked to everybody else to pick it up” and there was no one to be found until that second-half spark. “At halftime, all I said was ‘it just takes one.’ One 50-50, one ground ball to change the momentum,” she said. “The last 25 minutes, it was do or die.” CV’s title hopes died when Shaler responded. A pair of goals by Lynch at 18:33 and 14 minutes to play as well as a tally by Nellie Phillips at 14:55 enabled the Titans to regain the lead, 11-8.

pions not just because of Marous. The Indians benefited from three, fourth-frame goals by Alec Bernstein, Clayton Krol and Pete McDonagh as well as solid play in the nets. Tucker Gillman recorded 20 saves against the Blue Devils. That performance came on the heels of a 12-save outing in a semifinal win against Upper St. Clair for the senior captain, who is a Georgetown recruit. Despite the defeat, the Blue Devils, however, are qualified for the PIAA tournament. The 12-9 squad will play Erie Cathedral Prep, a 6-5 winner against District 6 champ State College in a play-in game, in first-round action. “That’s the good thing,” said Ermer of the state qualification. “The sun will come up tomorrow and we’ll practice at 10:30 a.m. and see what we can do in the state tournament.”
Despite the defeat, the Colts finished a successful season. They posted a 13-2 record. Their lone losses were to WPIAL champions. In addition to Shaler, the Colts lost a regular-season contest to Mt. Lebanon, which won the Division II title with a 9-7 win against Quaker Valley. After the loss, Gould cautioned her players to not let the outcome define them. “Don’t let one game ruin the whole season. We lost two games,” Gould said, noting to champions. “Don’t let one game destroy the great memories, the great bus rides, the spaghetti dinners, the goofy times in the locker room. It’s not worth it.”
CV wins semis
Chartiers Valley beat Blackhawk, 15-6, in the semifinals. Maria Stamerra, Margo Mason and Hope Tornabene accounted for all but one of the Lady Colts’ goals. The win vaulted CV into the finals for the fourth straight season. The Colts lost to Shaler, 15-14, in last year’s final.

Unique and edgy as always, off the WALL performing arts center has recently added the creative and energetic fireWALL Dance Theater Company to its growing repertoire. On May 23, fireWALL’s six-member dance troupe will debut its first full production at off the WALL – a funny, heartfelt and raw performance of “On the Rox.” Conceived and choreographed by fireWALL’s own Elisa-Marie Alaio, “On the Rox” transports its audience back to yesteryear through the medium of dance. The cross-generational story of “On the Rox” begins in the late ’30s in a New York City hotel bar, and transitions from one decade to the next over a 50-year period. The piece intertwines and masterfully expresses the extremes of life: heartache and joy, tragedy and renewal, the ugliness of mankind and the beauty of mankind. One commonality throughout the decades is the local bar where people find consolation and camaraderie. Performances are at 8 p.m. May 29-31. Tickets at $5-$20 can be purchased online at www.showclix.com/ event/3816323 or pre-ordered by calling 1-888-71-TICKETS. For more information, visit www.insideoffthewall.com.

SF OKs proposed final budget By Deana Carpenter Staff writer dcarpenter@thealmanac.net
Taxes in the South Fayette School District could be increasing by as much as 0.8357 mills for the 201415 school year. The board of school directors passed a proposed final budget of $44,549,597 at its May 20 meeting, though changes could still be made before the final budget is voted on in June. Board member Todd Petrillo voted against the budget and Alan Vezzi was absent from the meeting. For residents with a home assessed at $100,000, the increase in millage would mean an additional $83 per year on their school taxes. The current taxation millage rate in South Fayette is 24.7126 and the proposed budget has taxes at 25.5483. The proposed budget includes increasing taxes to
the two percent index allowed, and also taking another exception for PSERS (Public School Employees Retirement System). Although the board approved a maximum budget at the meeting, director of finance Brian Tony and district accountant Maria Brewer-Aguilar are recommending a millage rate increase to the index, which would be 0.667 mills or a flat rate increase of 0.5 mills. The board will continue to evaluate the budget at its May 27 meeting and is scheduled to vote on a final budget at the June voting meeting.
New position proposed South Fayette Middle School Principal Dave Deramo and industrial technology teacher Frank Kruth made a presentation at the meeting asking the board to consider a new position at the school. Deramo said the
proposed position would be for a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) coordinator at the middle school. Currently, the intermediate school employs a teacher in a similar position. “With the focus of STEAM in the district, it makes sense to continue it at the middle school,” Deramo said. “We all know STEAM is not a new concept or idea at the middle school.” Dermao said the STEAM coordinator would bring an “interdisciplinary approach” to teaching. The position would also bring a hands-on approach to learning to core classes. Eventually, he said he would like to bring the STEAM concept to all the classes at the school. Deramo said the position would be created and fill a vacancy made by a retiring teacher. An additional teacher would be needed to take over the industrial technology teacher vacancy.
Walnut Ridge breaks ground
The official groundbreaking for South Fayette’s newest residential community, Walnut Ridge, took place April 29. The event was hosted by developers Dick Herrington and John Means. Representatives from South Fayette Township and its municipal authority, as well as Ryan Homes, Gateway Engineers andTA Ward were also on hand. Walnut Ridge is located along Battle Ridge Road and will offer 100 half-acre and large home sites. Nearly 30 Phase 1 lots are complete. Construction of a model home is underway. With the completion of Walnut Ridge, the number of homes developed in South Fayette Township will exceed 1,000.

Vegetable garden yields vitamins, exercise min requirements. While gardening is great exercise, starting a garden is actually an easy task. With just an hour a day, you can start a small backyard garden, or even grow your own vegetables in pots. Just start with transplants, instead of seed – they’ll save time, effort, and provide you with an earlier harvest. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage, and make sure the soil is in shape to receive plants by soil-kit testing, and amending when necessary. Feed your plants, water regularly and don’t forget to patrol for pests. Ready for your garden? Try these gardener-friendly, high-powered vegetables and herbs that can ensure your diet is full of flavorful, vitamin-rich foods:
By Joan Casanova For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
It’s a well-known fact that few Americans actually get the recommended daily dose of vitamins. Many turn to over-the-counter supplements to fill in nutritional gaps. But wouldn’t it be better – not to mention tastier – to get needed nutrients from what you eat? This season, why not turn your vegetable and herb garden into a “vitamin garden?” Fortunately, many vitamin-packed vegetables and herbs are easy to grow. Hardy, bountiful varieties like those from Bonnie Plants make it even easier to claim vitamin victory in your veggie garden. Studies show that gardeners tend to eat more fruits and vegetables than non-gardeners, and nothing beats

large, nutrient-rich leaves. • Tomatoes – Considered a super food, tomatoes deliver high doses of vitamins C, A, K and B6, and minerals such as potassium and lycopene. Hugely versatile, they’re a great ingredient in a variety of culinary styles, or equally yummy eaten on their own. Bonnie Plants has a range of new, easy-togrow tomato varieties for 2014, including the Biltmore (which ripens a large amount of fruit all at once), and the San Marzano, producing high yields and keeps producing right up until first frost. Check out the “Tomato Chooser” tool on Bonnie Plants’ website to make it easy to find the variety you want. Select traits
you’re seeking and the tool will list the varieties that match. • Peppers – Another versatile veggie available in a wealth of varieties, peppers deliver fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, copper and vitamins A, C, K and B6. Many types, such as Bonnie Green Bell Peppers, are very easy to grow, and others, like the Giant Marconi, deliver high yield and produce early in the season. • Squash – Popular and prolific varieties like zucchini and yellow squash require minimal care to produce hefty harvests. Green zucchini deliver vitamins C, K and B6, as well as folate, manganese and potassium. Yellow squash – either crookneck or straight neck – are easy to grow, early to mature and particularly high in vitamin C. And what’s the one vitamin every single veggie
and herb in your garden delivers? You can count vitamin D – the true “sunshine vitamin” among the nutritional benefits of vegetables, herbs and gardening. While you’re outside working in the garden, your body is turning all that sunlight into muchneeded vitamin D. Added to the vitamin value of veggies and herbs are the exercise and relaxation that derive from gardening. This summer, why not focus on growing your vitamins rather than getting them from a bottle? They’ll taste better than anything that comes from the pharmacy, plus you’ll reap health, wellness and the many mental and physical benefits of gardening. For more information on varieties, how-to’s, trouble shooting and even recipes, visit www.bonnieplants. com.
