The Almanac is distributed free every week to homes in Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, Peters and Upper St. Clair.

After six months of planning, The Almanac staff is proud to present the brand new, redesigned Almanac.

Stories are now packaged in a hyper-local format and organized by neighborhood.

School board and municipality/township meeting coverage has been condensed, allowing readers to efficiently glean the information that affects them directly.

Sights & Sounds (arts and entertainment) has a more dynamic, appealing layout, and it segues into the What’s Happening section, which outlines upcoming community events.

And, everything is presented in a fresh, modern look in an easy to read format.

“The Almanac has been delivering quality local news and sports coverage to South Hills residents for decades, and we are committed to continuing that,” said Observer Publishing Company’s director of news, Lucy Northrop Corwin. “The new design presents the news in a modern, reader-friendly format that I believe will be appreciated by our readers.”

COUNCIL DENIES GIANT EAGLE’S REQUEST

DRIVE FOR THE KIDS South Hills Chrysler Jeep in McMurray helped raise $860 in funding for Central Christian School with Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids program. The fundraising event was held May 3, in conjunction with the Fundraiser Auction.

Participants earned a $10 contribution to the school on their behalf from the Chrysler brand by taking a brief test drive.

At the conclusion of the program, the school with the highest number of test drives in each region will win an additional $5,000, for a total of $25,000 in additional funding from Chrysler through the Drive for the Kids program.For more information, visit www.drive4kids.com.

Peters Township Council voted 6-1 to deny a special permit request by Giant Eagle to hold acoustic live music at its Market District Express location in the township. Council member Meghan Jones-Rolla was the dissenting vote.

Giant Eagle had requested a special permit to hold live music from 4-9 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday from July 4-Sept. 30 on the patio at the Market District Express along Route 19. Adam Golomb of Giant Eagle was on hand at the meeting and told council the music would have been limited to acoustic guitar and piano with no more than two performers at the same time.

Prior to the vote to deny the special permit, several residents who live near the business expressed concern over noise.

“We are avidly against having outdoor live music,” said John Knabb, who said he lives directly behind the Market District Express.

Pat Pajer who also lives near the store, said the hill behind it “acts like an amphitheater” when it comes to music and noise.

“We just ask Giant Eagle and council to consider the neighbors. The last thing we need is more noise,” she said.

PATENT AWARD THE REALIZATION OF STUDENT’S VISION

By Terry Kish

For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

In 2011, Connie Gibson, the gifted coordinator at Fort Couch Middle School, accompanied Matt Vernacchia (USCHS 2011) to the Pittsburgh Regional Science and Engineering Fair. His project was a low-cost, eye-typing interface, called IrisScribe, and industry sponsors recommended that he patent his work.

“The sponsors conveyed to him the typical cost to apply for a patent, which was prohibitively expensive, precluding him from being able to consider initiating the process,” Gibson said.

Gibson’s brother and 1984 USC High School alumnus, Douglas G. Gibson, is a partner at Covington and Burling LLP, an international law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., that is known for its commitment to pro bono work. Covington patent attorneys also used this experience as a teaching tool for younger associates.

After Connie consulted Doug, he facilitated Vernacchia’s association with the patent law experts at Covington. Andrea Reister, a partner at Covington & Burling LLP, and Greg Discher, special counsel, represented Vernacchia in prosecuting the patent application on a pro bono basis. After a long, arduous process, the patent has finally been issued.

Connie remembered that Vernacchia wasn’t originally planning to enter the Science and Engineering Fair, so his entry was rather “last minute.”

Matt Vernacchia, Upper St. Clair class of 2011, has received a patent for his IrisScribe invention, which allows for medical patients to com“It’s a joy to watch and see the type of municate via eye movements. things that he does,” said Connie. “He’s truly an amazing student and a very nice person.”

Vernacchia, who will be a senior at MIT this fall, said he’s not sure what he’s going to do with his patent for IrisScribe.

that we can grow our way out of the problem.

We also need to recognize that people are living longer, which means added cost to taxpayers under the current pension systems.

State Rep. Mike Tobash has introduced a plan that would combine the traditional benefits of a guaranteed retirement for employees with a contribution plan that would limit taxpayer liability if the pension’s investments underperform.

Risk to the taxpayer would be capped at $50,000 of a public employee’s or school teacher’s salary. Any retirement contribution for salary above $50,000 would go into an account that will be self-directed and fully portable.

The Tobash plan only affects new employees.

It also ensures that existing benefits already being paid out to retirees will not be touched. They earned it and they will receive it.

But the key to the Tobash plan is that it saves taxpayers $11 billion over the cost of the current pension system.

Uncontrolled debt and pension cost threaten to undo the progress our state has made. The fundamental problem is not going to go away and the only question is whether we deal with pension debt now or whether it deals us a fiscal hammer blow later.

I am urging the General Assembly to help our state and local school districts by passing pension reform by the end of this session. I ask each of you to call your local legislator and do the same.

With your help, we can pass pension reform now.

There are seemingly no bounds to what can be done with a smartphone or tablet. You can completely automate your home, start your car, track your daily caloric intake, map your run, even go back in time to see what you posted on social media on the current day each year.

You can read books, watch movies, allow your children to play educational games and do your banking. This newspaper even unveiled a mobile app this week, allowing readers to get South Hills news with the touch of a button. If you can dream it, there probably is an app for it.

This technology has simplified many aspects of our lives, allowing many new conveniences where they simply didn’t exist before. But, does all of this convenience come with a price when not used appropriately? Absolutely.

Go into any restaurant, and you will no doubt see families sitting together at tables, but not speaking – rather, all glued to smartphones or tablets. Mobile devices, it seems, are being used as babysitters and pacifiers. A recent CBS news story reported on parents who claimed that their babies could swipe on a tablet before the age of nine months. That same story reported that a survey by Northwestern’s School of Communication found that 37 percent of parents are likely to use their smartphone or tablet to entertain their children. Only 10 percent of parents reported using their mobile devices to educate their children.

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ official recommendation is that children under the age of 2 should have no “passive screen time.” That recommendation has long been thought of as television, but it certainly applies to computers and mobile devices. The reason is simple – children will get more out of talking and interacting with their family members and “unstructured” play time than they will with a tablet.

Now, is there anything wrong with using a tablet to play games and do puzzles, or even watch a movie on a long car ride or airplane trip? Not at all.

But, they should absolutely not be a substitute for parental attention.

The jury is still out as to what long term neurological and psychological ramifications mobile devices may have on young children. One thing is for sure – the more that children and teenagers are glued to screens, the less they are engaging in conversation (which helps develop social skills) and the less they are participating in physical activities (which has a slew of benefits).

Our advice? Put the tablets and smartphones away and have an actual conversation.

CORRECTION In the recent edition of South Hills Living Magazine, the date for Peters Township Community Day, listed on the Calendar of Events page, is incorrect. The correct date is June 28.

SCHOOL PROJECT HELPS LESS FORTUNATE STUDENTS Kara Touscany, a recent graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School, stands next to 200 pounds of recycled school supplies, which were donated to Spring Hill Elementary School in the Pittsburgh Public Schools.

By Deana Carpenter

For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

One of the end-of-the-year rituals that high school students look forward to is cleaning out their lockers. However, often some of the items being tossed out are in perfectly good shape – some never used at all – forgotten in the bottom of the locker.

Kara Touscany and Hannah Linn, 2014 graduates of Mt. Lebanon High School, thought that it was a shame to let those supplies go to waste, so they decided to do something about it.

“We were both in the same boat, with a lot of extra stuff,” Touscany said.

In their junior year, as part of an assignment in teacher Mike Gullo’s AP environmental geosciences class, Touscany and Linn came up with an idea of how to make their school “greener.”

Gullo had students in the class write letters to the principals of the school, and Touscany and Linn’s proposal to donate the gently used and brand new school supplies that would otherwise be thrown out when students are cleaning their lockers was approved.

For the past two years, the school has donated more than 200 pounds of supplies to Pittsburgh Public Schools. This year, they donated to Spring Hill Elementary School.

EXPERT: STUDIES DON’T PROVE THE SAFETY OF ARTIFICIAL TURF

By Nick Lewandowski For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Mt. Lebanon residents remain locked in a bitter debate over the health impact of artificial turf. A majority of Mt. Lebanon commissioners and many athletic supporters would like to turf Middle and Wildcat fields, while opponents say turf could harm child athletes and others by exposing them to toxic chemicals. Both sides claim research supports their view.

But, in a presentation at the June 23 commission meeting, Dr. Philip Johnson, a public health specialist and Mt. Lebanon resident, said the existing body of research cannot be used to show artificial turf is safe.

“The key questions are what chemicals are in

SUPPLIES FROM PAGE 8 and ability to address two concerns – reducing waste that ends up in landfills and, more importantly, helping a local elementary school receive school supplies,” Gullo said.

At the end of the school year, Touscany said there were volunteers stationed around the hallways making sure that any usable supplies were placed in a separate bin and not thrown away.

this product, what chemicals are used to maintain the product and what will happen as these chemicals break down,” he said. “We know children are vulnerable to toxic exposures early in life.”

Johnson explained that child physiology is fundamentally different from that of adults – for example, children tend to absorb larger quantities of toxic chemicals. Since their metabolic pathways are immature, they do not always have the enzymes needed to break down chemicals, either.

Johnson added that the health impacts of exposure can show up later in life. “Developmental impairments may not show up next month or next year,” he said. “This is about the entire life cycle. Exposures could have acute or chronic impacts down the road.”

According to Johnson, one of the main rea-

sons Mt. Lebanon cannot rely on the existing body of research to prove artificial turf is safe for children is that the studies are not tailored to child physiology. In addition, all the turf fields studied are different. The fields are in different areas of the country with different weather patterns. They are made out of different materials and receive varying amounts of use. Methodologies also vary significantly across studies.

“When you read these studies, almost all of them say you cannot generalize,” Johnson said.

“You’re looking for a scientific study to tell you if turf fields are safe. They can’t tell you that and I don’t think that approach is helpful.”

Johnson advised that companies bidding on the turf project release materials lists, which could be distributed publicly. He said experts could then assess the health risks associated

with specific turf components.

Originally, Mt. Lebanon was to have received such a materials list from the low bidder only.

Commissioners were receptive to the idea, but did question some of Johnson’s statements.

Dave Brumfield asked if there were any signs or events that would clearly indicate it was safe to move forward – also where one should draw the line when it comes to chemical exposure.

“Most of us are drinking out of plastic water bottles,” Brumfield said. “I’ve read that the chemicals from the plastic can leech into the water.

Should we not drink water out of plastic bottles?”

“The ubiquity of chemicals already has many experts deeply concerned,” Johnson replied.

“Really, the question becomes whether a turf field is worth the risks associated with introducing these chemicals to children.”

to Spring Hill Elementary this year, said they collected mostly binders – accounting for 100 pounds of the donated supplies.

“There were also a fair amount of notebooks that people were just going to throw out,” she said, adding that writing utensils and folders were also donated.

“It was their idea and I thought it was important to let them run with it,” Gullo said. “I was just an advocate for the girls. With my help, they tackled their first hurdle – getting their idea approved by the high school administration.”

Gullo has received positive feedback from administration and students about the program.

“Last year was the first year we implemented the program, and only a handful of students were involved. This year marked the second year and the student awareness increased 10 fold,” Gullo said. “Under Kara and Hannah’s leadership, this really turned out to be a collaborative effort for many, many students and staff – from the custodian staff providing boxes for us to collect school supplies to students offering ideas and help for next year,” he said.

The program is growing and Gullo hopes it keeps growing for years to come.

“The girls came up with the idea to spread word to surrounding schools in the South Hills

about our project,” Gullo said. “We contacted a few schools, and Bethel Park thought the idea was amazing and collected gently used school supplies on their locker clean out days to donate as well.”

“My favorite part was actually delivering the school supplies,” Linn said, adding she loved travelling to the school and meeting the faculty there. “People don’t realize how many school supplies they do throw away.”

“For me, it’s showed me how close to home people are in need. You drive 10 minutes and people need school supplies. People do really need help right here at home,” Touscany said.

BRIDGEVILLE TWIN GIRLS BATTLING RARE CONDITION ABSCESSED TOOTH LED TO DISCOVERY

By Tara Kinsell

For The Almanac tkinsell@observer-reporter.com

Having an abscessed tooth is rarely considered a positive condition, but this dental problem caused Lauren Lawton, 23, to go into the premature labor that ultimately saved the lives of her identical twin daughters, Mackenzie and Anna.

Seven weeks after Lauren and her fiancé, Ryan Lloyd, 21, of Bridgeville, found out they were expecting twin daughters, they received devastating news. Doctors informed them the girls suffered from a condition known as Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. In most cases where the syndrome presents itself prior to 20 weeks of pregnancy, one or both twins do not survive.

“They told us don’t look it up and don’t read anything about it because it will only terrify us,” Lloyd said.

His father, Greene County detective Dave Lloyd, found that advice impossible to follow.

Lloyd said he wanted to know everything he could in the hopes there were other treatment options available for his granddaughters. However, little is known about TTTS and what is available on the Internet “really is terrifying,” he said.

“They were telling them (Lauren and Ryan) that Anna wasn’t going to make it. I couldn’t help myself. I told Ryan to stay off the Internet and I began reading everything I could about it. I’d never even heard of it,” Dave Lloyd said.

TTTS is relatively rare as it only occurs in about one in 1,000 cases of multiples. The syndrome is a complication of having a shared placenta. The twins’ blood supply is transfused through connecting blood vessels in the placenta creating a donor and recipient type situation

thealmanac.net

where the blood is transfused from one baby to the other in utero. Basically, one twin receives too little blood and the other too much. The results can range from organ failure for the donor twin because of inadequate blood flow or heart failure for the recipient twin who has to process abnormally large volumes of blood.

Ryan Lloyd recalled the day Lawton went into labor.

“She was having chills and sweats. They said it was because of the abscessed tooth and they needed to do something before it infected the babies,” Lloyd said. “We knew about the tooth but didn’t think that would become a problem.”

In fact, the tooth is being credited with helping to save the lives of the twins. By being born early, the effects of the syndrome did not have an opportunity to fully develop.

The girls were definitely not where doctors at West Penn Hospital wanted them to be for delivery, but they were able to delay their births as long as possible.

Lawton began to receive steroid shots to try to improve their lung function. She received magnesium to speed up brain development.

Everything medically possible was done to improve the girls’ chances.

“On the first day of the 24th week they did a C-section,” Lloyd said.

The only thing Lawton remembers of that day was the grim prognosis she kept hearing.

“There was one woman who came into the room and asked if I really wanted to go through a major surgery knowing they might not survive anyway,” Lauren said.

Lloyd said it took everything to control himself.

“It was a no-brainer. These are our kids. Of course, we are going to do everything we can for our kids,” he said.

BOWER HILL ELEMENTARY TO HOST CAMP INVENTION Camp Invention, the nation’s premier summer enrichment day camp program that is supported by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF), is coming to Bower Hill Elementary School the week of July 7-11. The week-long day camp experience for students entering grades one through six encourages inventive young minds through hands-on problem solving, using science, technology, engineering and mathematics in a fun and creative atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to be offering Camp Invention to more children this year interested in these focus areas,” said Barbara Myer, Camp Invention director at Allen ISD and district advanced academics/gifted and talented coordinator. “Selecting a camp is an important decision for parents, and our goal is to provide children with a curriculum that allows them to fully express their inventive young minds by exploring different types of technology, through realworld problem solving challenges, building things and taking them apart, while still having fun and developing new skills. Every year, I am impressed by not only the level of thinking and time that goes into the curriculum, but also by the level of fun and excitement that I see on my students’ faces.”

Camp Invention was founded by Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Programming is inspired by some of the world’s most well known inventors and is developed through partnerships with the USPTO and the Collegiate Inventors Competition. Camp Invention’s new curriculum for 2014 called “Morphed!” immerses students in hands-on activities, such

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 941-2037. We want you to be safe.

ADULT INTEREST CENTER

The Adult Interest Center at Southminster Presbyterian Church, Mt. Lebanon, offers lunch, entertainment, information and fellowship for older adults at 11 a.m. Fridays, September through June, that are free and open to all. Lunch is served at noon for $6 and no reservations are necessary.

At Trax Farms, nothing says summer like homegrown, fresh-picked strawberries, especially since they are one of the first crops of the year. For me though, when I think of summer, I think of sangria! It’s easy to make and is per-

fect for entertaining a few guests on the patio.

So, to celebrate this delicious strawberry season, I pulled out a few family favorites and added a new twist – and I made sure they’re easy. There is no excuse not to try them before strawberry season is over.

Just remember, since these recipes are so simple, their great flavors rely on the ingredients, which is why Trax Farm’s strawberries are essential. The fresher, the better and you

Trax Farms third annual Summer Wine Festival takes place June 28, featuring more than 50 wines from nine local wineries, food trucks, live music, crafts and more. To make reservations, call 412.835.3246. Advanced sales are limited.

TRAX FARMS’ STRAWBERRY SANGRIA

For Trax Farms’ Strawberry Sangria, use a bottle of white wine along with Arrowhead’s Strawberry Wine. Personally, I like drier wines, so I use Arrowhead’s Reflections of Lake Erie. If you and your guests like things sweeter, Arrowhead’s Niagara works perfectly and gives the sangria a great grape undertone. Want a little fizz? Feel free to add either ginger ale or Sprite right before serving. Have some fun experimenting.

JUNE 27: Chiodi Trio: The Chiodi Trio is a father-and-his-two-sons band, playing lots of old-style favorites from the Roaring Twenties and beyond on two banjos and a bass.

The AIC will be closed in July and August.

For questions, call director Carla Campbell at 412-343-8900.

INGREDIENTS:

1 750 ml bottle Arrowhead’s Reflections of Lake Erie or white wine 1 750 ml bottle Arrowhead’s Strawberry Wine

SUPPORT GROUPS

2 pints sliced Trax Farms’ homegrown strawberries 1/4 cup Trax Farms local honey

DIRECTIONS:

TRUE BLUE ‘N GOLD

MVP LORUSSO DEMONSTRATES COMMITMENT

By Eleanor Bailey

Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Olivia Lorusso is a woman of her words. For as a high school freshman four years ago, she committed to Canon-McMillan softball.

“I knew Olivia was a multi-sport athlete – a very talented one with a gun for an arm,” said manager Michele Moeller.

“I meet with all the players individually to let them know if they’re on varsity and junior varsity and after our meeting, I made Olivia shake my hand and promise she would stay with us for all four years. We knew then she was something special.”

Lorusso was hardly a sensation when she started. She batted .200 with only three RBI, four doubles and one home run her freshman season.

ELEANOR BAILEY / STAFF

Olivia Lorusso collected plenty of momentos during her softball career. In addition to two WPIAL championships, one runner-up trophy and a PIAA state title, the recent Canon-McMillan graduate gained Almanac MVP honors.

CANON-McMILLAN HEADLINES DIAMOND DOZEN LIST

By Eleanor Bailey

As a pitcher, Perich possesses the select pitches to get ahead in the count and close with a strikeout. “Kelly’s just an awesome player,” concluded Bowers.

After winning a PIAA state championship and a second straight WPIAL title, all eyes focused on Canon-McMillan this softball season. For the most part, the Lady Macs handled the scrutiny. Weathering the pressure, they reached the Quad-A finals again. Plus, they captured a section banner and finished 18-5 overall after a 5-4 duel with Dubois in the state tournament.

Hence, it comes as no surprise that CanonMac dominates the 2014 Almanac Diamond Dozen list. In addition to securing Most Valuable Player honors with Olivia Lorusso (see related story), the Lady Macs placed four other team members on the all-star roster: Abby McCartney, Giorgiana Zeremenko, Linda Rush and Brittany Crawford. All but Crawford, a freshman, also earned first-team, all-section acclaim.

A junior, McCartney led the team with a .575 batting average. With five doubles, two triples and 12 round trippers, her slugging percentage swelled to 1.992. McCartney walked eight times and struck out only twice. She drove in 45 runs and crossed the plate a team-high 36 times.

“Since her freshman year, Abby has been a consistent and team leader offensively and defensively. Very versatile defensively,” added C-M manager Michele Moeller. “She is one of the most well rounded athletes I’ve coached displaying speed, power and finesse. Next year as a senior, we are looking for her to play a bigger role as a team leader on and off the field.”

As a senior catcher, Zeremenko directed a new pitcher on the mound this spring while battling an ankle injury and maintaining a big bat. She finished with a .438 average, complete with 10 doubles, one triple and five homers. She drove in 24 runs.

“Her knowledge of the game is top notch,” said Moeller. “She leaves behind quite a legacy.

“Giorgiana has solid power and strength. She is a hard worker and good person and the kind of player you want others to want to emulate. We will miss her leadership and skill all around.”

As a sophomore, Rush will be around for two more campaigns. The shortstop batted .571 with 16 doubles and nine homers. She drove in 38 and scored 40 runs, a team-high.

“Linda is an extremely gifted athlete,” Moeller said. “She attacks the ball offensively more aggressively than most. She has a great arm at short, but has some room to grow there as well, which is scary for opposing teams in the sense that she hasn’t even hit her peak offensively or defensively.”

Crawford also had room to improve, as she is just a freshman. She owned a .459 on-base percentage and a .653 slugging percentage, thanks to three doubles, a triple and five dingers. She scored 34 runs to go along with 11 RBI. A Division I prospect, Moeller predicts Crawford’s name will be synonymous with the C-M program. In fact, the Lady Macs have been awaiting her arrival since she was 11.

SIMPLY THE BEST

THE BP DUO STAR

Hot on the heels of the Lady Macs was Bethel Park. The Lady Hawks handed Canon-Mac one of its five losses and finished tied with Baldwin for runner-up honors in Section 4 with a 10-4 record. BP finished 11-5 overall after falling to eventual district champion, Shaler, in the quar-

At Chartiers Valley, Libby Chidlow had an awesome season. In fact, head coach Jeff Reicoff dubs it ‘historic’ as Chidlow kept the Lady Colts in playoff contention until the final regular season contest. In Section 4-AAAA, CV finished tied for fourth place with Peters Township, a game behind Bethel Park and Baldwin and off the championship pace set by CanonMcMillan. The Colts finished 9-5 overall.

The senior catcher batted .611. Of her 33 hits, 12 went for doubles and two for three-baggers.

“Libby was a great leader,” said CV manager Jeff Reicoff. “She had one of the best single seasons of all time for a Chartiers Valley softball player. Plus, she really controlled the game from behind the plate.

SF DUO

From behind the plate and on the mound, the battery duo of Sara Jubas and Ashley Iagnemma controlled the action for South Fayette. The Lions captured the Section 2-AAA banner with an 11-1 record. They finished 14-2 overall after falling to Elizabeth-Forward in the quarterfiELEANOR BAILEY / STAFF ELEANOR BAILEY / STAFF nals of the WPIAL tournament.

Kavonna Anderson and Haley Reid were two reasons why the Lady Hawks experienced success this season. Both earned all-section, firstteam laurels.

A senior, Anderson excelled in the outfield.

She also batted .478. “Kavonna not only led our team with her batting, but also with her positive attitude and enthusiasm,” said BP manager Heather Scott. “She always gave 110 percent.”

A sophomore, Reid anchored the infield at shortstop. In addition to leading the team in home runs, she batted .439 for the Lady Hawks. “Haley came up with many big hits this year,” Scott said. “She also helped take charge of the infield.”

PT’S TOP CHARGE

Kelly Perich took charge at Peters Township.

The junior pitcher averaged 8.125 strikeouts per game. A versatile player, she also batted .419 with a .468 slugging percentage. Perich, who drove in four, gained all-section, first-team honors.

“One word could describe Kelly,” said PT manager Rob Bowers. “Intense. She can play anywhere, literally. Not too many coaches can say that.”

Perich’s asset is her arm strength. According to Bowers, she can throw from center field to home plate on a rope. As a catcher, she can throw from behind the plate on her knees to first, second or third base.

AA PAIR

In Class AA of the WPIAL, Seton-La Salle and Keystone Oaks dominated while battling each other in Section 1. The Rebels and Golden Eagles finished tied for the league title with 11-1 slates, splitting their section frays. Both advanced to the semifinals, but SLS edged KO, 3-2, to finish third in the district and qualify for the PIAA tournament.

Lauren Zola led the Rebel charge. The junior pitcher posted a 9-1 record in league play. She struck out 186 batters and owned a 0.74 ERA. At the plate, she batted .391 for the Rebels, who finished 13-4 overall after falling to Bald Eagle, 2-1, in the state playoffs.

“Lauren dominated in the circle,” said SLS manager Jay Krull. “She gave us a chance to win every game.”

Because of Eryn Caragein, the Golden Eagles had a chance to win. The senior outfielder batted .686 with an amazing .865 slugging percentage. She cranked out four homers, swiped 11 bases and drove in 19 runs.

“She can do it all,” said KO skipper Mark Kaminski.

HONORABLE MENTION

Among the players garnering honorable mention acclaim are: • From Bethel Park: Jen Rimmel, Julia Sherwin, Haley Lazarri, Shelby Reid, Morgan Crawford, Jamie Smith, Taylor Andres, Jess Cook.

A senior, Rimmel gained all-section honors as the designated player. She batted .423. “If we needed a hit, Jen always found a way to get one,” said Scott.

she was voted one of the top three outfielders.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Pitching is probably the most important position in softball and, despite being only a freshman, Lauren McMillan handled the duties like a pro for Keystone Oaks. She hurled the Golden Eagles to a section banner, tying with SetonLa Salle in division 1-AA with a 9-1 slate. The Golden Eagles finished 13-6 overall, falling to the Rebels in the consolation contest for thirdplace in the WPIAL. McMillan posted an 11-3 record on the mound, complete with 127 strikeouts. Ten of those came in a 6-0 playoff win against Waynesburg. She tossed a four-hit shutout against Laurel. She had six strikeouts in a 2-1 semifinal loss to Beaver.

At the plate, McMillan helped her cause, batting .405 with 11 RBI. In fact, she was 2-for-2 against the Red Raiders.

For her efforts, McMillan has been named Almanac Rookie of the Year.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Among the Players To Watch are: • Carolyn Cook of Bethel Park. When teammate, Shelby Reid was lost to an injury, the freshman stepped into the starting role as catcher. According to her coach, Heather Scott, “Carolyn played the positions as if she has been there all season. She played with poise and confidence.” Cook also batted .273 for the Lady Hawks.

• Kayla Alderson from Chartiers-Houston.

This freshman center fielder batted .400 with two doubles and three triples. She tied for the team lead with 19 runs scored and 11 walks. She drove in eight runs.

“Kayla worked hard to win a starting position,” explained Alderson. “She learned quickly, made adjustments to her swing and kept a great attitude all year. Kayla has a ton of potential to be even better.”

• Miranda Griffith from Chartiers Valley.

This freshman batted .355 with one homer, three triples and two doubles. The right fielder drove in eight and scored eight runs. “She was a clutch hitter for us and did a nice job defensively for us,” said Reicoff.

• Candace Drzik from Keystone Oaks. This sophomore batted .423 and drove in 18 runs.

Though she never caught before this year, the all-section performer threw out 13 of 15 wouldbe base thieves.

• Kylie Hartbauer from Peters Township. As a designated hitter, this freshman batted .344 for the Lady Indians. “She had an exceptional year,” said Bowers. “She showed her skills early and became one of our go-to DHs for the season.” Hartbauer also saw playing time in left field and at third base. She also pitched for the junior varsity squad.

• Alyssa Miller from Seton-La Salle. This sophomore never caught before but started behind the plate and was a huge reason why the Rebels were successful this year. She batted .308.

• Julie Curry from Seton-La Salle. This freshman came right in and played like an upperclassman for the Rebels. The first baseman batted .396 with 13 RBI. She did a ‘great job’ on both sides of the ball.

• Emily Bryan from South Fayette. This sophomore third baseman batted .453 with 26 RBI. She smacked four home runs to go along with three doubles and three triples.

• Courtney Blocher from South Fayette. This sophomore second baseman batted .409 with 15 RBI. She drilled three doubles, two triples and one homer.

HAPP HONORED

Ian Happ of Mt. Lebanon was named the Coca-Cola Player of the Week in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League to open summer play. The University of Cincinnati sophomore plays for the Harwich Mariners in the Cape Cod Eastern Division.

Through the first five games of the season, Happ leads the league with a .563 batting average after collecting nine hits in 16 at bats. He was instrumental in Harwich’s victory over Yarmouth-Dennis on opening day with two doubles that carried the Mariners to a 7-2 victory.

Against Brewster, Happ helped the Mariners dominate the Whitecaps, scoring three runs and driving in another in a 10-0 victory.

Happ is returning to the Cape Cod League after a successful 2013 summer campaign where he was named an Eastern Division All-Star.

During the spring season with the Bearcats, Happ hit .322 and led the team with 13 doubles Frank DelPercio, Dan Vater and Steve McGinnis and five homeruns.

SOUTH FAYETTE STUDENTS HELP DESIGN, PLANT GARDENS

By Deana Carpenter

For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Gardening took on new meaning for students at South Fayette Intermediate School. Thirdthrough fifth-graders used skills they learned in their STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) class and core classes to design, create and maintain different types of gardens at the school.

Students learned how to build and care for hydroponic gardens inside the classroom and raisedbed sustainable gardens outside. The school also has a rooftop garden space that has various succulent plants, which teachers use as an extension of the classroom when the weather is nice.

Fourth-graders have been growing lettuce hydroponically since the beginning of the year. Recently, third-graders were given the task of how to create a hydroponic garden with ordinary things found around the house – like buckets and beverage containers – to grow hydroponic lettuce.

“I learned that you don’t need soil to grow lettuce,” said third-grader Jake Borgese.

Outside the school, several raised garden beds were constructed. The beds will become sustainable gardens and students and their parents have the opportunity to sign up to care for the garden beds during the summer. In the classroom, students mapped

out where each crop should be planted based on how much room and sun it would need.

“One of our visions is to eventually share the crops with the cafeteria,” Drake said.

Plans to grow herbs on the roof of the school are in the works.

Once the crops are planted, information cards will be placed next to each one. Drake said a QR code will be placed on each card and anyone with a smart phone will be able to scan it and hear information about the plant. Third-graders are working on preparing the voice-overs for when folks scan the code.
