Frustrating failure The WPIAL championships were a disaster for Seton-La Salle and Canon-McMillan. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, and thanks to two fielding miscues, Steel Valley erupted for three runs and defeated Seton-La Salle, 6-5, and captured the WPIAL Class AA baseball title. Meanwhile, the Lady Macs committed five errors and lost their bid for a record third straight district softball championship when they succumbed to Shaler, 9-5, in the WPIAL QuadA finals. Above, SLS catcher Liam Sweeney reacts with disgust after the Ironmen scored the winning run. Below left, as the last out is recorded, Giorgianna Zeremenko reacts to Canon-McMillan’s 9-5 loss to Shaler. Below right, SLS pitcher Carson Rebel finds it difficult to watch Steel Valley celebrate its first WPIAL baseball championship. Despite the defeats, both the Rebels and Lady Macs qualified for PIAA tournament action. For more details, see Page C1.
Developers of the former Consol Energy Site along Route 19 in Upper St. Clair, 1800 Washington Road Associates, LP (WRA), have filed a lawsuit against Moira Cain-Mannix citing she worked for Giant Eagle to keep a proposed Whole Foods supermarket out of the township. Cain Mannix, a resident of Upper St. Clair, lives near the proposed development and is a lawyer with the law firm Marcus & Shapira, which has represented Giant Eagle many times in the past. WRA has been planning to turn the site into an area called Siena St. Clair with a Whole Foods supermarket and a separate retail building that would include restaurants, professional offices and limited retail. WRA also has plans for a separate housing development with around 40 multifamily homes. Gerard Cipriani, a principal of WRA, stated that the suit was “filed to allow
a jury to assess whether Giant Eagle’s attorney was genuine in her multi-year delay of a project involving her most important client’s chief local competitor.” According to court documents filed May 9 in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, Cain-Mannix “has represented Giant Eagle in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on at least eight separate occasions since 2006, three occurring in 2013.” In addition, Marcus & Shapira represent Giant Eagle and the founding partner of the law firm, Dan Shapira, holds, directly or indirectly, an ownership position in Giant Eagle, the document states. The document goes on to state that when Whole Foods expressed interest in leasing a space at the Washington Road property, “Giant Eagle’s Senior Vice President Gene Tommasi commented to a WRA principal that ‘We (Giant Eagle) cannot allow that to happen. We need to talk.’” SEE CASE PAGE A5
Neighbor’s snakes alarm Scott resident By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
David Calabria of Meadowlark Drive was at the Scott Township Commissioners’ May 27 regular meeting asking the board for help with a snake problem. When he saw his next door neighbor sunning two 12-foot long pythons in the
front yard, Calabria called the police. After the police investigated, they told Calabria there were 20 snakes in the house. Calabria asked the board if the township had any ordinances restricting the number of snakes a person could own, or if there was an ordinance restricting exotic animals. SEE SNAKES PAGE A5

The new signals will not be activated until the project is complete and the ramp is opened officially on Labor Day, said Michael Silvestri, township manager. The closure was announced during a council meeting May 28. Also during the monthlong northbound lane closure, the state Department of Transportation will repair a small slide just south of the new ramp connection in the right lane.

Beginning June 9, motorists in Peters Township will deal with yet another traffic restriction when one northbound lane on Washington Road (Route 19) will close for 30 days to allow Gulisek Construction to build a turning lane from Washington Road to a new ramp leading to and from Valley Brook Road. The closure length will be relatively short and will extend from the site of the old ramp to the new ramp. Periodically, during the closure on the northbound side, southbound lanes on Washington Road will also close to allow for installation of poles for

Construction was delayed for several years, some the result of lawsuits filed by surrounding property owners over parking spaces and access lanes, and one by the owner of a billboard that resulted in the eventual erection of a digital sign just north of the intersection. Valley Brook Road remained open from East McMurray Road to just east of the intersection
of Old Washington Road. During the project, the intersection was reconfigured. Valley Brook Road under Washington Road to just before the off ramp from Washington Road south, was also closed. The only access between the two sections of Valley Brook Road was by pedestrians and bicyclists along Arrowhead Trail. Before the closure, more than 11,000 vehicles traveled Valley Brook Road, the

The project, in which the township was required to pay $800,000, is “right on schedule,” Silvestri said. When asked if the road could be opened before the Sept. 1 holiday, Silvestri said the official date was Labor Day. “Keep pressing them on that,” said Councilman Frank Arcuri.

Bethel Park school board members approve tax increase By Susan Schmeichel For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net Bethel Park School Board members approved a budget that includes a real estate tax increase of more than half a mill. The 2014-2015 budget amount of $78.9 million
was approved by the eight present school board members. Board member Dr. Tim Campbell joined the early part of the meeting by phone, but the connection was lost before the budget vote. The budget for the next school year raises the district millage rate to 22.4276.
State Act 1 would have allowed the district to increase the tax rate by 2.6 percent. In addition, the district applied for and was granted state exemptions to exceed that 2.6 based upon its contributions to the state school employees’ retirement fund.
Matt Howard, assistant to the superintendent/finance and operations, said the majority of the tax increase will be used to pay the approximately $1 million the district must pay to the Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System during the coming school year.
“(Real estate taxes) are the only income we have,” said board member Jim Mean. “The only way we have to make money is to increase taxes.” In other business, board members approved the sale of Logan Elementary School to Bethel Park Retirement Living Proper-
ties for $700,000. The school, which until six years ago was rented by the Community College of Allegheny County, had not been used as district classrooms for more than two decades. The former school had been on the market for more than four years.

PT residents unhappy about proposed development By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net
A proposed residential development on 24 acres currently owned by Forest Lawn Garden cemetery has raised the ire of property owners living on nearby Spring Street in Peters Township. The preliminary plans call for 29 lots on the 24 acres at the rear of the cemetery that fronts on Washington Road just north of Donaldson’s Crossroads. As proposed, the only access to the development would be through the currently dead end Spring Street, just off Pleasant Avenue, with an emergency
access easement through the cemetery property, said Grant Shiring, land planner for PVE Sheffler. Shiring is familiar with the township as he served on a temporary basis as the municipality’s land use planner during the extensive comprehensive plan process just completed. The residential development would have a large turn around in the middle with a cul-de-sac at the farthest end, Shiring told Peters Township Council during a meeting May 27. A stream on the property would be protected, he said. The front portion of the development would have 50-foot setbacks from the street, with the remaining lots near the cul-de-sac hav-
ing 35-foot setbacks. Shiring said during construction, trucks would travel through the cemetery property and not along Spring Street. However, with only one access and a cul-de-sac, Shiring said the Peters Township School District would not permit buses to pick up students in the development. Several residents told council of their opposition to the proposed development, with some vowing to “fight it as strongly as we can.” If built, the houses are expected to sell for $450,000 and up. When several of the property owners on Spring Street said they were not notified of the meetings,
first at the township’s planning commission and May 27 before council, Ed Zuk, township planning director, said no formal application has been presented and when and if it is, all property owners within 600 feet of the proposed development would receive notice. As the May 27 presentation was categorized as a pre-conference, council did not vote on any proposals. Councilman Frank Arcuri said he was concerned about the 35-foot setbacks, there being only one public access route through Spring Street, the school district not permitting buses in the development, and
a steep grade of 10 percent near the entrance. “I’m not in favor of the plan as proposed,” Arcuri said. Shiring was also the representative for United Growth of San Rafael, Calif., on a proposal for a 4,000-square-foot retail development on the corner of Washington Road and the southern entrance to Old Oak Road. Plans call for a single tenant. The development would need a variance as the area is currently zoned Commercial-4, which does not permit such a plan. Councilman David Ball said it is difficult to turn from Old Oak Road on to
Washington Road now, and councilwoman Monica Merrell said she was concerned about traffic and the need for deliveries in a relatively small parcel. No action was taken. In other action May 27, council: • Approved a $250,000 grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection to purchase a cardboard compactor and wheeled recycling carts for residents’ use when automated recycling begins in 2015. • Awarded a 3-year contract to eLoop for free recycling of electronic items not permitted for curbside pick up.

USC not considerate of residents We received a bulk mailed flyer May 28 which was sent by “USC Families for Food Fairness.” The flyer named, with photos and addresses, three people that this group claims are supported by Giant Eagle in their current fight over the Whole Foods project. They seem to be inviting harassment of these individuals who are exercising their legal rights. Interestingly, this flyer did not contain the names, addresses and photos of the people behind this attack or identify their supporter. When Consol moved from its building and no one was found to occupy the space, the property was most certainly going to be sold to a developer. A developer’s job is to develop and make a lot of money. The township commis-
sioners’ jobs are to be politicians and bring in a lot of money to the township, $1.4 million per year for this development, according to the flyer. The residents’ job is to try to protect their property in Upper St. Clair, where they are located with high hopes of a quality life experience. We do have an interest in the project because we live on Fieldgate Drive, sharing our back yard with the development. According to the blueprints at the township building, the edge of our deck (not the property line), is three inches or 150 feet from the planned 16-foot high retaining wall behind Whole Foods. Although “26 percent” of this development is green space, there is not much in our neck of the woods. We have not felt at a loss for food opportunities with Fresh Market, Trader Joe’s, the Giant Eagle and Giant Eagle Express, Target’s large grocery department and the small but unique Uncommon Market. We are anxiously awaiting the “17.5 percent” increase in our property value as set forth in the flyer so that we can move and settle someplace where residents receive more consideration.

Gay marriage editorial disturbing
When we received the May 28, 2014 issue of The Almanac, we were extremely disturbed by the front-page story and editorial concerning the gay marriage issue. The editorial writer stated how proud he is of the Pennsylvania decision to join the ranks of 18 other “progressive” states and D.C. to redefine marriage. It is amazing to us how we allow a 10-15 percent segment of the U.S. population to dictate this change in the oldest, God-established institution in the world (marriage between one man and one woman). Mr. & Mrs. John Sunder Canonsburg
Case
Eagle, provided this statement: “Giant Eagle, Inc. has been mentioned in two lawsuits filed against citizens by 1800 Washington Road Associates involving the proposed development known as Siena at St. Clair. As a longstanding member of Pittsburgh’s South Hills community, Giant Eagle has viewed with concern the increasing traffic congestion in the Route 19/Fort Couch Road area and the adverse impact it has on our customers and team members seeking to shop and work in the area. Adding to these concerns were objections from citizens living in the immediate area of the proposed development. Therefore, it was surprising that zoning ordinance changes for the Siena development were approved to benefit 1800 Washington Road Associates. In July of 2013, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court found that the zoning changes were not properly enacted and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court later let stand the Commonwealth Court’s decision.” The statement goes on to say: “The proposed mixed use facility offered by the developer is certain to cause traffic conditions in this area to further deteriorate. Giant Eagle does not believe the proposed development is in the best interest of the community and that any zoning changes should be enacted in full compliance with the law. Accordingly, the company offers legal and technical support to residents who choose to exercise their constitutional rights in opposing such developments.” Attorney Tom Ayoob, who has
been representing Cain-Mannix in the land use dispute, said, “It’s not Whole Foods, it’s the intensity of the development of the site,” that she is concerned about. He added that Cain-Mannix lives near the proposed development and is worried about traffic and the impact the development could have on residents, such as lighting and noise. “It’s not a specific user, it’s the impact of the development,” Ayoob said. He said that developing specific sanctions for one site, in this case the former Consol site, constitutes “spot zoning.” He added, “This isn’t a township-wide change.” In 2011, Upper St. Clair amended its zoning ordinance that allows for the development of retail and residential space as a conditional use at the site of the former Consol Energy offices on Washington Road. “This is not just limited to Whole Foods. This is a strip mall, a retail and multi-high-rise development,” Ayoob said. “This has been going on a couple of years and she’s been prevailing,” Ayoob said of Cain-Mannix. He said a civil court already ruled in her favor. “Her objection to this ordinance is valid,” he said. Ayoob said the case was argued in front of Judge Joseph James in common pleas court and they are expected to file briefs in the case June 19 and are waiting for the judge’s ruling. Kevin Allen, Cain-Mannix’s attorney in the civil matter, could not be reached for comment.
Snakes
Commission website, “PA Fish and Boat Commission regulations only pertain to native species of PA. In other words, our regulations do not cover any species not found in PA. Therefore, you would not need a permit from our agency. However, you may want to contact your local municipal government to see if they have any ordinances in effect that regulate the possession of “dangerous animals” or exotic pets. Due to some recent highprofile cases in the news of non-native snake bites and snakes getting loose in neighborhoods, additional municipalities are adding such laws.” Phil Haines, another resident of Meadowlark, said snakes can get out. He told the board that a few years ago,
he saw a large, dead snake, later identified as a California King snake, on North Wren. Calabria is the son of commissioner Dave Calabria. Commissioner Calabria said his son bought his house three years ago, and now his daughter is afraid to go out in the front yard. “I wouldn’t go in the front yard,” responded commissioner Tom Castello. Commissioner Castello asked solicitor Robert McTiernan if a letter could be sent to the snake owner telling them the snakes were to be kept indoors. Officials told Calabria that they would investigate and see what they could do to help.

Calabria said he has a 7-year-old and a new baby on the way, and is worried about having so many snakes right next door, especially now that they are outside of the house. Scott officials said that there was a dangerous/exotic animal ordinance that dealt with animals like lions or tigers. Code enforcement officer Bob Fischer said he spoke with animal control and was told that snakes fall under the responsibility of the fish commission. According to the PA Fish and Boat

MOVIE REVIEW Peters Township Mighty Indian Marching Band performed in the Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C.
Latest ‘Captain America’ offers lots of twists By Olivia Yocca For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
Lasting memories Peters Township band visits the nation’s capital By Stephanie Wang For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
Memorial Day can mean many different things to different people-the beginning of summer, barbeques with friends and family, or an extra day off from work or school. Yet, the true meaning of Memorial Day is something deeper and more meaningful – it’s a day to recognize the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country. On Memorial Day, the Peters Township Mighty Indian Marching Band had the esteemed honor of marching down Constitution Avenue as part of the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., one of only two bands that participated in the opening ceremony, carrying either state or national flags. Playing in person for such a large crowd there and for an even larger crowd watching from home and abroad, was one of the most amazing feelings in the world, despite it being a little nerve-
wracking. However, seeing the veterans and their families watching and cheering us on was one of the greatest honors that could have been bestowed on us. We left for Washington, D.C., on Saturday to allow for some sightseeing, from war memorials to to the Smithsonian Museums – and I thought it would just be another boring educational trip in which we would be marching in 80 degree weather. Luckily, I was pleasantly mistaken. Not only did I learn a lot about American history at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and about the various memorials around Washington, D.C., I also enjoyed myself immensely. Being around such a great group of students only made the trip even better! Out of all of the sightseeing excursions we partook in, one of my favorites was visiting Arlington National Cemetery and learning about the brave men and women interred there. Watching as our two drum majors laid wreaths on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, I had a feeling of patriotic pride for
my country and a new appreciation for its defenders. Frankly, I had always enjoyed learning about the various wars, yet I had never actually considered the magnitude of the lives lost. Sure, I knew it was a large number, but it wasn’t until visiting Arlington National Cemetery and seeing the rows and rows of graves that I realized how many men and women had made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedom of our country. This quote, “Freedom is not free,” inscribed in the Korean War Memorial, captures the theme of Memorial Day by exemplifying the sacrifices many made for the freedom we take for granted every day. No, freedom isn’t free. And while we will forever be indebted to our country’s defenders, we all took great pride that we could at least pay it forward and show our veterans how much we appreciate their service. Stephanie Wang is a freshman at Peters Township High School and a saxophonist in the Mighty Indian Marching Band.
Warning: This contains spoilers “Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier” came out in theaters in April and did not fail to please comic fanatics. The reviews have only been positive, and it capped off $300 million in its opening weekend. The movie starts out with Captain America, played by Chris Evans, taking a run around Washington, D.C., where he meets a veteran and the two become instant friends. But, their talk is interrupted when Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, reports that there is a new mission. Captain leads an elite team, including Black Widow, to rescue some top secret members of S.H.E.I.L.D from alleged pirates. As usual, this mission was assigned by Nick Fury. During their mission, Captain discovers that Black Widow was assigned another mission, to download secret S.H.I.E.L.D information onto a hard drive. This is an important event. Once the team returns back to S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, Fury shows Captain the future of S.H.I.E.L.D, which is to destroy any current or future threats at all costs. After the meeting, Nick Fury decides to drive around after Captain leaves, but is brutally attacked. This is where we meet a new character called the Winter Soldier. Fury barely lived through this action packed scene. Later, Fury goes to Captain’s apartment to tell him that S.H.I.E.L.D has been compromised. He also gives him the USB data drive that Widow had and told him to trust no one. While Fury is still at Captains home, the Winter Soldier comes and shoots Fury through the window. This is the first time that Captain has seen Soldier, and finds out that he has the same strength and speed that he does. Fury is taken to a hospital, where he “dies.” Ev-
eryone is very upset about this, especially Pierce, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Pierce then has a meeting with Captain, trying to find out more information about who killed Fury. Pierce believes that Captain is a threat and then has everyone try to kill him. Captain barely escapes from S.H.I.E..L.D headquarters and realizes that everyone is out to get him except for Black Widow. They then team up and go to Captains old camp from before he was experimented on. When they get there, they discover the old Hydra scientist was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D to continue experiments on injured soldiers. This is where the Winter Soldier came from. Captain and Widow return to Washington and seek refuge with his friend from the beginning of the movie now called Falcon. Falcon told them that he was more experienced than originally thought, and wanted to help fight Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D with them. After Falcon joins them, Captain meets face to face with the Winter Soldier, only to realize that Soldier is his old best friend Bucky from World War 2. In the first Captain America, Bucky was on a mission with Captain towards the end of the movie and falls off of a zip line. Captain assumed that Bucky had died instantly, but now we discover that he is not dead, but more alive than ever. Bucky does not remember Captain at all, in fact he gets extremely confused and angry when he returns SEE REVIEW PAGE B2
Canon-McMillan students pay tribute to retiring teacher Students in Mrs. Deborah Steinmiller’s Advanced Placement Biology class at Canon-McMillan High School surprised her with T-shirts bearing her picture and with the slogan, “Do it for the Stein.” Students had joked with her all year about getting the shirts, and eventually decided to do so. Enlisting the help of science teacher Ashley Fazio, and the help of a parent with an embroidery business, Jody Centore, the students made the idea a reality. On the Friday before the AP exam, all students came into class wearing the shirts. It took a few minutes for Steinmiller to fully understand what she was seeing. And, on AP exam day, all students wore their shirts – a show of solidarity for their teacher and for the subject of biology. Mrs. Steinmiller, who is retiring from education af-

It will also be a great way to remember her.

We have great young adults here at Canon-McMillan and they are mature enough to recognize great teaching. Mrs. Steinmiller is quite frankly one of the best educators that I have ever known and she will be greatly missed here at CMHS. She may be replaced but she will most certainly never be duplicated. She is one of a kind.”

back to Hydra. As soon as Pierce arrives to instruct Bucky, he cleared his memory. Meanwhile, Captain and his crew were captured by Hydra/S.H.I.E.L.D. They escape with the help of Maria Hill, and travel to a secret location. When they arrive, they see that Nick Fury faked his death and is being treated by a doctor. Everyone is relieved to find Nick alive, but realizes the urgency of their next mission: to take down S.H.I.EL.D. This is where all of the action starts to pick up. Captain sneaks into the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters and delivers a message to all of the employees, notifying them that SH.I.E.LD is now full of Hyrda operatives. This turns everyone against each other. Finally it becomes a face to face fight for Captain and Soldier. Captain stops S.H.I.E.L.D from hurting civilians, but then tells Hill to just blow up the ship he and Soldier were on. Solder is stuck under a piece of debris, and Captain makes
the choice of saving him. He then says that he refuses to fight his best friend and that he rather die than kill him. Soldier then throws an unconscious Captain off the ship into the water. We then discover that Soldier jumped in after him and saved his life. This is a huge turning point in the movie and also for Soldier with his inner Bucky coming out. The whole world has been saved because of Captain and his crew. Although there were many casualties, including Pierce, there would have been many more if Pierces plans would have succeeded. As always, there are extra clips at the end of the movie to lead into the next. For this particular movie there were two. The first clip showed von Strucker in an underground lair speaking to a fellow Hyrda employee talking about some new weapons they have. They then walk up to very familiar weapon to Avenger fans. Hydra does have the Chitauri scepter, which is Lokis. Von Strucker also walks by a set of crucial characters. In cells, they have Quicksliver and the Scarlet Witch, who are

a set of twins. They are also known as Magnetos children. Quicksilver has the ability of super speed, and Scarlet Witch has telekinetic powers. It was already announced that they will appear in the sequel to The Avengers, but it was a huge shocker that they were introduced in this movie. The second clip was a less surprising one, but still was interesting. It showed Soldier at Captain Americas exhibit reading Bucky’s specific article. This is just confirming that Soldier is starting to realize that he may be the man Captain says he is. Overall, I feel like this is one of the best Marvel movies. It includes a huge amount of action. There are a ton of twists and Marvel did a wonderful job at keeping you interested. “Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier” will be released on DVD/BluRay Sept. 9.

Repairs to Scott Township pool a ‘Band-Aid’ project By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
While unable to open the pool at Scott Park in time for Memorial Day weekend, township officials are cautiously optimistic that it will be filled and ready for business during the week of June 2. At the Scott Township Commissioners’ regular meeting on May 27, township manager Denise Fitzgerald said that the 45-year-old pool had several leaks and repairs were being made. She said it was possible that they could start filling the pool on May 29, with the pool ready to open toward the beginning
of the week of June 2. Code enforcement officer Bob Fischer said that the leaks were on the main seams and joints of the pool, and while they were hopeful that the repairs would work, there were no guarantees. Fischer said the repairs being made were “a BandAid at this point.” Fitzgerald said she and Commissioner Eileen Meyers, chair of Parks and Recreation, had already started discussing options for more long-term repairs of the pool. She said she had heard of other communities that had installed liners in their pools, but needed to research the options before making any

recommendations. When asked what type of costs would be incurred for the long-term repairs, Fitzgerald did not want to

speculate without doing research. Commissioner Bill Wells suggested that the board should determine what
needed to be done to repair the pool before spending any of the township’s bond money on planned park improvements. Wells said some of the money could possibly be reallocated to pool repairs. For updates on when Scott’s pool will be open, residents should refer to the township’s website, www.scott-twp.com. At the same meeting, Fischer presented the board with the new proposed zoning ordinance for the township. Fischer commended John Vogel, Emily Palmer and April Showers for the work they did on the ordinance. The board approved advertising a June 4 public
meeting and an Aug. 26 public hearing to review the proposed zoning ordinance. The June 4 meeting, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the commissioners’ conference room, is sponsored by the planning commission to present an overview of the ordinance and have public input into the process. After the public meeting, the ordinance will be sent to Allegheny County for approval before the public hearing August. In other business, board president David Jason announced that the township was opening its summer recreation program to all communities, not just residents of Scott Township.

Mt. Lebanon deer population numbers inconsistent By Nick Lewandowski For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net
How many deer live in Mt. Lebanon? The number has serious implications for the municipality’s deer management strategy – particularly whether the population needs to be culled to reduce vehicle accidents and other resident complaints. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In 2013, an aerial survey counted 342 deer. A year later, a similar survey counted only 196 deer. Merlin Benner, president of Wildlife Specialists, addressed the discrepancy via conference call at the May 27 commission meeting. Benner is a certified wildlife biologist. His firm assists clients with wildlife assessment, planning and
monitoring. According to Benner, the most likely explanation for the different survey numbers is that the deer simply moved temporarily – especially given the severe winter in 2014. “We’ve done repeated surveys on specific areas within a few days,” he said. “We’ve had deer movements such that they were in a totally different area from one day to the next. Some deer could be on adjacent properties. Deer could have moved beyond the boundaries of Mt. Lebanon.” Benner said in Maine, he documented some deer moving more than 40 miles. He described aerial surveys as “state of the art,” adding that the only way to get more consistent results would be a “mark and capture” type of study. In those studies, deer are

caught, tagged, released and tracked to get a more accurate picture of their travels. Benner emphasized that these studies are significantly more expensive and time consuming than aerial surveys. Commission president Kristen Linfante asked him point blank which deer number Mt. Lebanon should consider. “I would base decisions off the data most closely related to your issues,” Benner replied, “especially since the results of these two surveys don’t seem to fit other data you have. For some reason – you may never know it – fewer deer were observed in 2014 and that may not be reflective of the actual population.” Benner said many townships use multiple data points to monitor deer populations. These can include police reports, reports to lo-
cal administrators and data from insurance companies. Officials then make deer management decisions based on trends across all of this data. “You don’t have a bunch of scientists out there recording data in the same, repeatable way, so there’s a lot of error,” he said. Linfante also raised questions over the effectiveness of sterilization as a deer management option, if the deer are in fact moving so much. “Would we just be sterilizing deer for other communities?” she asked. Benner replied that sterilization is expensive and unlikely to work without a closed deer population. He added that he believed sterilization kills a significant number of deer due to the stress placed on the animals during capture and surgery. Commissioner Kelly Fraasch disputed any el-
evated mortality rates (she said research actually showed low mortality rates), but agreed as to the high cost associated with sterilization: about $1,000 per animal. “I think you should consider all deer management options, make an informed decision and show the reasons why you made that decision,” Benner said. “My opinion is certainly that sterilization costs a lot of money per deer. It seems like that would be very expensive.”
Meeting to address playing fields Mt. Lebanon residents interested in scheduled improvements to Middle and Wildcat playing fields on Cedar Boulevard at Mt. Lebanon Park are invited to an informational meeting, 7-8:30 p.m. June 12 at Mellon Middle School auditorium.
Commission vice president John Bendel will facilitate the meeting, at which he and several consultants will speak and provide audio-visual presentations. The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that all interested residents have factual, up-to-date information about the project, which will get underway this summer. Bendel and the consultants will give an overview of the plans, which include providing a new surface for the fields. Following their presentation, they will address questions suggested by the audience. Wildcat and Middle fields are municipally owned and maintained and are used for a variety of sports by children and teens of all ages. The school district is providing the meeting space; it is not involved with the project.

She has an associate’s degree in paralegal studies and works as a receptionist in a doctor’s office. She served as vice president of the Parent Teacher Association for three years and president of the association for another three before serving on the school board the first time. She also started a program at South Fayette called Girls Night Out, in which high school staff and students mentor girls who are transitioning from eighth grade to the high school. “I feel I’m in a good place in life to commit back to the amount of work it takes,” Hannah told the board in her interview. One of the questions the board asked of all the candidates regarded the strengths and weaknesses of the district. Hannah said the strength is “the educational value you get,” at South Fayette. As far as weaknesses, Hannah said she would call them “areas of improvement.” She added, “There’s always something you can do to be better.” She said it is her intention to run for the seat after the term expires next spring.

Mt. Lebanon doubles its fun in lacrosse By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Mt. Lebanon doubled its pleasure in the PIAA tournament, advancing both its girls’ and boys’ lacrosse teams to the state semifinals with back-to-back victories in quarterfinal matches at Moon Stadium. The teams played a doubleheader last night at Cumberland Valley High School. The girls battled Garnett Valley while the boys faced off against Penn Crest. To reach the Final Four, the Lebo ladies defeated Quaker Valley, 12-8, to ex-
tend their undefeated season to 22-0. The Blue Devils had beaten the Quakers back on May 23 to clinch the WPIAL title. The Lebo men (14-9) avenged their WPIAL defeat to Shady Side Academy by using a strong defensive effort to post a 7-6 victory in the rematch. Until seven minutes remained in the contest, they held Dan Marous scoreless. The Notre Dame recruit scored 50 goals this spring. He also had a hat trick in Lebo’s 7-2 loss in the district final. Senior Tim Donoghue drew the assignment of defending Marous, a foursport athlete at Shady Side,
competing in football, soccer and basketball as well as lacrosse. Marous scored back-to-back goals at the 7:31 and 4:47 marks in the fourth frame to cut Lebo’s three-tally edge to the onegoal margin. “Tim was outstanding,” agreed Lebo head coach Mike Ermer. “My defense as a whole played real well. In addition to Preston Chamberlin, Charlie Cappucci provided strong play on defense. Ean Cafaro contributed as well. Ermer cited Cappucci, adding, “he has given us quality minutes all year but he was asked to do SEE LACROSSE PAGE C3

Lady Macs’ worst game leads to loss in WPIAL final By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
ELEANOR BAILEY / STAFF
Seton-La Salle catcher Liam Sweeney tries to tag out Steel Valley’s Sean McShane during WPIAL Class AA championship action. McShane was ruled safe after Andrew Chuba’s base hit in the third inning and the Ironmen went on to score three runs with two out in the seventh and sealed a 6-5 victory against the Rebels.
Errors end SLS’s title hopes Steel Valley beats Rebels in WPIAL championship With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Steel Valley rallied for three runs and scored a 6-5 victory over Seton-La Salle in the WPIAL Class AA baseball championship game at Consol Energy Park in Washington. It was the first district title for the Ironmen, who were seeded No. 2 in the tournament and improved to 18-2 overall. With two outs and a full count, Jesse Cantley singled and drove home Sam Ligeros with the winning run. One batter earlier, Bryce Varhola tagged a 3-2 pitch for a two-run single to tie the game at five runs apiece. The uprising began when lead-off hitter Matt Hoesch reached base on an
error. After Andrew Chuba grounded out to third baseman Nico Popa, winning pitcher Brandon Donovan reached base on another SLS fielding miscue. After Carson Rebel struck out the next batter, he walked Ligeros to load the bases, setting the stage for Varhola and Cantley. “We had three ground balls. We (should have) had three outs,” said SLS manager Shawn Trainor. “We made mistakes and bad decisions. We did not get the outs. They deserved to win.” Either team was a deserving champion as both battled back from adversity. The Ironmen took the lead, 1-0, in the bottom of the second when SEE REBELS PAGE C2

Canon-McMillan picked a bad time to play its worst game of the season. Committing five errors and allowing four runs in the sixth inning, the Lady Macs fell to Shaler, 9-5, in the WPIAL Quad-A championship softball game played at Lilley Field on the California University of Pennsylvania campus. “You can’t recover from five errors,” said CanonMac manager Michele Moeller. “We didn’t do what we needed to do. It just comes back to making five errors in a championship game.” In falling to the Titans, the Lady Macs also lost their bid to win their third straight district title. Canon-Mac won last year’s crown with a 4-1 victory against Hempfield. In 2012, the Lady Macs defeated North Allegheny, 5-2, for the championship. It was Shaler’s third district title. The Titans won the Quad-A championship in 2005. They claimed a banner in 1982 when there were only three classifications. With 10 titles, Baldwin has the most of any big school. In fact, the Highlanders won three straight WPIAL titles from 1989-91 and four from 1993-96. Despite the defeat, Canon-Mac’s season did not end. The Lady Macs qualified for the PIAA tournament. Canon-Mac (17-4) embarked on its state championship defense earlier this week against Dubois (17-3) at Brockway. Defense was an area

the Lady Macs sought to improve as it led to their demise versus Shaler. One of C-M’s five fielding miscues contributed to Shaler’s four-run sixth. Kayla Seidl ignited the uprising. A defensive replacement at second base, Seidl singled and scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Haley Dengler. A tworun single by Lauren Miller and an RBI single from Amanda Sartori produced the other tallies in the inning for Shaler. Linda Rush and Giorgiana Zeremenko tagged two hits each for the Lady Macs. In fact, Rush led off the game with a single and scored the first run on a sacrifice fly to right by Abby McCartney. Olivia Lorusso also tagged a sacrifice fly in C-M’s two-run first frame that drove in Brittany Crawford, who had singled. Shaler scored one run in the second and three in the third. Rachel Nyman doubled home Lyndsey Lakatos SEE MACS PAGE C2
Faulty fielding, Dubois put stop to Lady Macs’ PIAA title defense If defense wins championships, then errors lose them. Just ask Canon-McMillan. The Lady Macs lost their bid to defend their state championship when they committed five errors and surrendered three unearned runs during firstround action in the PIAA softball tournament. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Cheyenne McKee socked a tworun single up the middle and thrust Dubois to victory, 5-4, over the Lady Macs in a first-round PIAA softball game played at Brockway High School. Miscues afforded the
Beavers the opportunity to clinch the win. In fact, the frame started with an error, C-M’s fifth of the game. “Offense can get you there, but defense wins championships. That part we know,” C-M manager Michele Moeller said. “We extended a couple of innings with errors.” Dubois (18-3) scored two unearned runs in the second inning. A lead-off walk and two throwing errors on ground balls enabled the Beavers to snap a scoreless deadlock and take the tworun lead in the third inning. In the sixth stanza, however, the Lady Macs powered their way into the lead,
4-2, when Abby McCartney tagged a three-run homer, scoring Jada Kemp and Brittney Crawford, and Olivia Lorusso smacked a solo shot. Dubois narrowed the gap, 4-3, in the bottom half of the sixth. A Big Mac error contributed to the score, which was set up by a double. Sierra McKee’s two-bagger was the first hit for Dubois against Tara Fowler. The junior had held the Beavers hitless through five frames. McKee, who moved to third on the misplayed ball in the outfield, scored on Regan Hann’s infield single. For the game, Fowler allowed just four hits, all in
the final two frames. She walked two. “We hit some long balls and our pitcher did everything that we asked her to do, but we just made too many mistakes,” Moeller said. C-M registered its first hit in the fourth but could not plate a run. The Lady Macs managed just five hits and they walked once. C-M put the lead-off runner on in the sixth after a two-base error but the runner was thrown out at third on a bunt. The Lady Macs also lost a potential run in the top of the seventh. Ally Bellaire led off with a single. Bellaire yielded
to Amanda Stranges. The pinch runner advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Fowler and a throwing error on a ground ball tagged by Taylor Bruno. On what appeared to be a successful bunt single, Kemp was called out for stepping on home plate while putting the ball in play. With Stranges returned to third base, the threat ended with a fly ball to the outfield. For the Lady Macs, the loss was the second straight in which they committed five errors. Only four days earlier, C-M lost its WPIAL title, 6-5, to Shaler. The Lady Macs finished 18-5 overall.
SLS falls
While the boys received a rain delay in their PIAA opener, the Seton-La Salle girls lost in the first round of the Class AA state softball playoffs. The Lady Rebels dropped a 2-1 decision to Bald Eagle in extra innings. With two out in the bottom of the seventh, the Eagles scored the equalizer and won in the eighth on a walk-off single. The defeat at Nittany Lion Park on the Penn State campus negated a fine pitching performance by Lauren Zola. She struck out 15 batters for the Lady Rebels, who finished at 13-4.

Derek Morrison singled and advanced to third on Cantley’s double before scoring on a wild pitch. Steel Valley tacked on another run in the third when Sean McShane reached base on an error and scored on Chuba’s base hit. Although Donovan had struck out five of the first nine batters he faced, the Rebels tagged him for four runs in the top of the fourth. With one out, Danzel McKinley-Lewis tripled. After David Boehme drew a free pass, Liam Sweeney tagged a runscoring single. Boehme scored on Popa’s misplayed fielder’s choice. Rebel then drilled a two-run single before Donovan struck out the final two batters. Donovan, who pitched 1-0 shutouts in two previous playoff games, finished with nine strikeouts. He scattered six hits and walked three. “We had a big inning off a very good pitcher. We put the ball on the bat,” said Trainor. “We battled against a good pitcher. We just did not finish the game.” SLS appeared to finish off the Ironmen in the top
of the seventh. Designated hitter Matt Reinmund tagged his second single of the game to lead off the inning. After Matt Wilke’s sacrifice, Reinmund scored on a base hit by Lewis. The Rebels had regained the run they had given up in the sixth. Steel Valley narrowed the gap, 4-3, when Ligeros doubled and scored after an error and a sacrifice fly by Mike Hoersch. Until the seventh, Rebel held the Ironmen in check. The junior had allowed six hits. He finished with four strikeouts and only one walk, the one to Ligeros in the seventh. Of the pitching effort, Trainor said, “[Carson] did what he was supposed to do.” When Trainor went to the mound after the Ironmen had tied the game, he asked him, ‘Do you want to put somebody in?’ He said, ‘No, I want to finish,’” Despite the defeat, the Rebels were not finished. They began PIAA championship play yesterday, June 3. The Rebels (15-6) were scheduled to play Franklin, the District 10 champion, at Jerry Uht Stadium in Erie. “Win or lose, it’s always tough to get back up for the state playoffs,” said Trainor. “But, we are going to work hard and battle back,” he assured.

We did what we needed to do at the plate. Unfortunately, making errors was the difference.” Canon-Mac tied the game at five runs each in the fifth. Jade Kemp led off with a bunt single and scored on a triple by McCartney. Lorusso tagged a run-scoring double and Zeremenko drove her home with the tying run.

more and he was outstanding.” In the nets, Matthew Lee was outstanding. The junior faced 16 shots on goal. He was credited with nine saves, including six in the third quarter. No save was bigger than the one Lee made on Marous with 56 seconds to play. The stop insured Lebo’s third trip to the Final Four in four seasons. Assistant coach Justin Meenan knew Lee would be outstanding. He told Ermer that he had a feeling the junior goalie would play well. “He was seeing the ball real well,” Ermer said. “Matt has really come along in his consistency.” While Ermer was elated with his defense, he was equally thrilled with his offense. Lebo jumped off to a quick, 3-0, start on a pair of goals from Brian Ward and a tally from Dan Lee in the first 10 minutes of action. Lou Lucerne assisted two scores. Though Shady Side cut the margin to one, 3-2, at the start of the second stanza, Lee and Ward racked up goals to push Lebo’s advantage back to three, 5-2. The Blue Devils led, 5-3, at intermission. Owen Chamberlin, off an assist from Brian Kelly, and Sam White, off a dish from Dan Lee, gave Lebo its largest lead, 7-3, with 3:24 to play in the third quarter. “We try to make sure we have balance and that makes us unpredictable on offense,” said Ermer of the Blue Devils’ output. “It leads to a lot of scorers.” Marous led to Shady Side’s scoring uprising. He assisted on Peter McDonagh’s tally with 54 seconds to play in the third quarter before racking up the two scores in a final frame, controlled by the Indians. Marous, McDonagh and Bobby Woodings all had two goals each for the Indians. “A lot of credit goes to Shady Side Academy,” Ermer said. “They battled for control on every face-off and ground ball.” Ermer also credits the community for Lebo’s surge in lacrosse and state semifinal presence of not only the boys’ club but the girls’ team. “It’s a testament to our youth programs,” he said. “It’s exciting. There is a lacrosse culture in Mt. Lebanon. We are reaping the benefits of a strong youth program with outstanding coaches.”

SPORTS us competitive. It fires us up more.” The Quakers’ second equalizer served as motivation for the Blue Devils. “When they tied it again, it gave us a lot of drive,” said Albers, a sophomore. “We got into the zone. The goals uplifted our spirits and pushed us to win. We got on that ‘crosse’ high’ and that pushed us.” Lebo pushed the pace early. The Blue Devils opened up a 3-0 lead five minutes into the game on a pair of goals from Battaglia, who finished with six, two more in the final frame, and a tally from Welsh. Allena Holzworth provided a tally with 4:59 to play in the second stanza. The score gave Lebo a 5-4 lead before the match seesawed, setting the stage for Albers and Welsh. “Those two goals before the half were very important,” Albers said. “They
played even and that was a key.” Those secrets to success will continue to propel the Lebo ladies as they advance through the tournament. Of their historic run, with the first state win and now the second, Albers said, “It’s amazing. Exciting,” she added. “We’ll use it to drive us the rest of the season. It’s all about having fun.” ELEANOR BAILEY / STAFF

Albers leads ladies Brian Kattan is the outstanding coach of the girls’ team, which is experiencing a historic season. After winning their first-ever state playoff game, the Lebo ladies find themselves in the semifinals for the first time by virtue of their win against Quaker Valley. “It’s been great,” Kattan said of the 2014 campaign. “Before season, the goal was the WPIAL. Undefeated was gravy. We’ve had a great season no matter what happens. They have done all that we have asked of them.” Anna Albers didn’t have to be asked when she rallied the Blue Devils on two occasions against the Quakers. With 1:03 left in the first half, Lebo found itself behind, 6-5, when Albers scored the equalizer with 39.2 to play. Becca Walsh, off an assist from Alyssa Battaglia, gave Lebo a 7-6 advantage heading into the locker room at intermission. After QV again knotted the game, 7-7, at the 20:09 mark in the third frame, Albers responded. She scored twice to complete her hat trick while Battaglia managed her four tally.

The Blue Devils exploded for nine tallies. “The third quarter definitely turned the tide of the game,” Ermer said. “We had a talk with the boys about their focus at halftime and the guys really turned it on in the third.” For the Blue Devils, Brian Ward fired in four goals. Brian Kelly and Dan Lee each recorded hat tricks. While Sam White racked up two goals, Owen Chamberlin, Brendan White, Brennan Wells, Connor Brumfield and Owen Meyers each tacked on a tally. Chamberlin dished up two assists, Brumfield, one.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Upper St. Clair considers adding lights to ball fields By Deana Carpenter For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net Discussion on lighting the athletic fields at Boyce Mayview Park began at the June 2 meeting of the Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners. George Kostelich, director of public works for Upper St. Clair, presented an overview of the proposed lighting and estimated the cost to be between $1,087,000 and $1,198,000. “These numbers are generous,” he said. Board president Robert Orchowski stressed that the June 2 presentation was the first airing of the topic of lighting the fields. “Nothing in terms of deliberation has been done yet,” he said. A committee was formed to discuss and recommend lighting for the fields. It was made up of township staff, Upper St. Clair Athletic Association (USCAA) members and representatives from
Musco, a field lighting company. The fields at Boyce Mayview Park that lights would be added to include the two multi-purpose fields, the large baseball field, the softball/small baseball field, the Miracle Field and possibly the Miracle Field playground. The proposed equipment would be Musco light structures in green and would have spill light and glare control features and a 25-year warranty. At the end of 5,000 hours, a re-lamp or bulb replacement would take place. The proposed lighting would also have a feature that would allow for off-site control of the lights by using a mobile device, computer or telephone. Installing lights at the multi-purpose field would be the most costly at $500,000 to $550,000, while the large baseball field is estimated to be between $385,000 and $425,000. Estimates for the
softball/baseball field are between $120,000 and $135,000, the Miracle Field at $42,000 to $46,000 and the Miracle Field playground between $12,000 and $14,000. An additional $28,000 would be needed to cover engineering costs. Kostelich also discussed potential funding for the project. Currently, there is $385,000 in the field improvements fund and another $130,000 to $150,000 in the capital fund. The USCAA has proposed an increase in its registration fee of $5, bringing the fee to $15, which will bring in an additional $9,500. The township could also apply for grants through the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County and the Allegheny Regional Asset District to fund a portion of the project. Musco did the lighting at the Boyce Middle School field. Commissioner Daniel Paoly asked Kostelich how tall the light poles would be at the park. Kostelich said
the average height would be about 80 feet with the tallest at 100 feet and the shortest at 60 feet. Commissioner Russell Del Re said, “It’s about the ability to use the field efficiently. I believe this would be a good step for the township to take.” Del Re said that in the last 20 years, “We’ve gained several more facilities and we still have a demand for more.” Commissioner Glenn Dandoy asked if the school district had committed to helping with the project financially. Kostelich said it has not, but they would realize the benefit of the lighted fields. Dandoy asked if there was a way to involve the school district. Kostelich said that with the database that the lights are connected to, it would enable the township to precisely charge for the use of the lights. Additionally, the lights would have a feature where the township could set the off
time for them. Tom Burke, a member of the USCAA, said currently there is a 10 p.m. curfew, so the lights could go off at that time. Burke said the school district does allow the USCAA to use the Boyce Middle School field, but often the only open time is at 9 p.m., which he said is too late for the younger athletes. “It is open, but not conducive,” he said. Of the project at the park, Burke said, “We think this is an important one.” The township sent out letters to residents living near Boyce Mayview Park letting them know of the proposed lighting. John Palmer lives on Sky Ridge Drive in Upper St. Clair and said he received the letter last week and it was the first he heard about the consideration of lighting at the field. He said he has perceived that the fields at the park do not receive much use. “It’s unusual we would
have to light them to get them used,” he said. “As someone who is right next to the park, I’m concerned about my back yard lit up when there’s nobody using the field.” He said he also drives by Morton Park and the field lights are often on while no one is there. Resident Michael Pechart also lives on Sky Ridge Drive and said he sees a lot of empty ball fields at the park. He said he is concerned about spill-over lighting in his backyard because it touches the park. Pechart said he is also concerned with noise, stating that the lights at Morton Park “sound like beehives.” He added that he also has concerns with increased traffic on Sky Ridge Drive. “This is the first step,” stressed Orchowski. The board will continue discussing the proposed lighting at its July 7 meeting.
