9/11: ‘A DAY FOR THE FAMILIES’ MT. LEBANON’S ‘NY VINNIE’ RICHICHI MAKES SPECIAL VISIT TO 9/11 MEMORIAL David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

Sports and auto broadcaster Vinnie Richichi left Pittsburgh for a week to see his hometown’s newly opened National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City.

“I’ve been to the site a number of times since

2001, and I’m taking my daughter, Erin, for the first time,” said the 59-year-old Mt. Lebanon resident.

“She just turned 22, so this is a good chance to see the museum, talk to her about what happened to our country after that day,” he said.

And for Richichi, America hasn’t been the same since.

“The ‘September 11th effect’, for New York,

for Pittsburgh, for America – it’s over. We have forgotten what it was like in the days and months – even the years after September 2001.

We were all kinder, we pulled together. We felt it was common tragedy to us all. I can tell when it changed. I felt it around 2003. I was standing in a funeral home parking lot in New York City and saw two guys fighting ferociously over a parking spot. Now, for a New Yorker, this would have

been common. But it felt bad, and sinister, and I hadn’t seen it for quite some time. It’s like we had forgotten how we viewed each other as citizens and as people.”

He hopes the week-long trip will help him and others remember those months and years after, and not just the tragic day itself.

In 1938, a group of Upper St. Clair residents started the township’s volunteer fire department. It was officially chartered as a nonprofit corporation in 1939. That same year, the department purchased its first pumper and housed it in a station on the corner of Route 19 and N. Highland Road. To celebrate this year’s 75th anniversary, Upper St. Clair Volunteer Fire Department had a picnic at South Park.

COMMISSIONERS ADVANCE DEVELOPMENT PLANS

By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

While legal battles continue over the Siena at St. Clair development along Route 19, the board of commissioners approved final plat approval at its Sept. 2 meeting for developers planning a mixed-use residential and retail plan anchored by a Whole Foods store.

Construction crews continue work at 1800 Washington Road as developers recently saw their eighth legal challenge to the development. Moira Cain-Mannix, an attorney with ties to Giant Eagle, argued she wasn’t legally notified of zoning changes to the plan and is

“It’s not solely the Ardolino project, but stormwater needs to be addressed,” attorney Sandy Garfinkel said, who represents St. Clair Plaza business tenants.

“We have made some minor amendments to a stormwater management plan, and if there are still complaints, they can be addressed at the next meeting in October,” attorney Kenneth Yarsky said, who represents the restaurant owners.

The board of commissioners also approved final amendments to the Willowbrooke Estates plan and the Crum plan, and approved final subdivision plans for the Shenandoah Estates after engineers with PVE Sheffer proved a workable stormwater management plan.

“They’ve addressed what we’ve asked, including the addition of a private eight-inch pipe across the five-plot plan,” director of community development Scott Brillhart said.

The only action tabled for October was the Ardolino Development plan, after attorneys representing the restaurant and nearby offices on Boyce Road said stormwater was still an issue and urged the board not to vote on the

upper st. clair BUDGET WOES PROMPT SCHOOL BOARD TO EXAMINE OVERTIME COSTS

By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

Facing a roughly $1 million budget hole that’s planned to be filled in the 2015-16 budget, the Upper St. Clair School District Board of Directors is looking for ways to mitigate costs in the short-term as well.

One of those expenses is custodian overtime, which at $20 an hour, last year cost nearly $145,000. Director of business and finance, Frosina Cordisco, explained at the Sept. 8 meeting overtime costs were so high because of ongo-

thealmanac.net

ing projects that fill-in custodians wouldn’t take, or they were not available.

“I recommend raising fill-in custodian wages to $10 an hour, up from their current $9.25,” she said.

“We’ve been losing, I believe, (substitute) custodians to Bethel Park and other nearby school districts where their hourly wages are already at $10.”

The board will vote on the matter Cleetus at its Sept. 22 meeting.

As for the current financial picture, total cashin-hand for the district stood at $3,192,000 at

facebook.com/SouthHillsAlmanac

the end of June.

The district’s annual audit is expected to be completed in October.

And the future decision on roughly 175 property assessment appeals will also help determine where the board needs to go on finances. At worst, according to Cordisco, real estate tax income of $750,000 could be lost if all appeals are won, or reversed to previous assessment rates.

In other business, superintendent Dr. Patrick O’Toole asked for preliminary approval for advertisement of four positions

@shillsalmanac

in the district. Openings will be advertised for elementary librarian, a long-term substitute teacher for Latin, a teacher’s aid and a custodial position.

Also at the meeting, O’Toole recognized student Ananya Cleetus, 17, for being invited to the White House Science Fair to show her affordable prosthetic arm project.

“India, where I am from, was my inspiration, where medical care can be so expensive. This model prototype aims to help people who typically can’t afford prosthesis ... so someone like a rickshaw driver, or someone who has to use both hands for a living– they can use both limbs,” Cleetus said.

GIANT TORTOISE FOUND ON EAST McMURRAY ROAD

By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

Ask any police officer about an unusual call he or she has answered and there is usually one that stands out.

That one call for a few officers in Peters Township may have happened the afternoon of Sept.

2 when police were dispatched to retrieve a wandering tortoise. Not just any tortoise, but a 40-pound African Sulcata slogging its way through the township.

Shelly was on the loose and police received several calls from passing drivers about a large turtle in the 500 block of East McMurray Road around 3 p.m. But, being a rather slow-moving tortoise, Shelly was not difficult to corral.

There was no high-speed police foot chase over treacherous terrain.

Police called Kym Secreet, the township’s animal control officer, and learned no one reported a missing tortoise, so police drove the reptile in a patrol car to Wet Pets and Friends, 3695 Washington Road in McMurray.

“We were really surprised to see two cop cars pull up in front of the door,” said Wet Pets manager Frank Farruggia. “We didn’t know what was going on.”

And then he saw Shelly.

Estimated to be about 20 years old, Shelly the African Sulcata tortoise returned to the pet store about 15 years after he or she or it was purchased.

Farruggia has been the Wet Pets manager for 17 years and remembers when Shelly was purchased from the store at the former location south of the current store.

“He fit in the palm of my hand then,” Farruggia said. At that time, the tortoise was believed

Shelly, an African Sulcata tortoise, had to spend some time in the back of a Peters Township police cruiser before being reunited with his owner. to be a female, hence the name Shelly. But an emergency visit to a veterinarian a few years later determined the she was actually a he.

A call was placed to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium and police left Shelly in the capable hands of the Wet Pets staff.

Farruggia said a Sulcata tortoise is easy to recognize by the pyramid-like protrusions on the upper shell and the yellowish shell color.

He estimated Shelly weighs about 40 pounds and measures 2-feet by 16 inches.

Farruggia said the owner, whose name was not released, was quick to retrieve Shelly when notified the reptile was at Wet Pets. Farruggia said he was told Shelly has free roam of his home yard on Candlelite Drive during the warmer months, and in the winter, Shelly stays

in the heated garage. Shelly didn’t make it far from home before being captured in a yard along East McMurray Road.

Until Shelly was picked up by his owner, Farruggia said the tortoise was placed in a large tub in the store and was given water and fresh vegetables.

“Sulcatas like to eat a lot,” he said.

Shelly is definitely a tortoise, not a turtle or a terapin. Tortoise are land-dwellers that eat low-lying shrubs and grasses. They do not have webbed toes, but rather round, stumpy feet for walking on solid ground.

Turtles have webbed feet and spend most of their lives in the water. Terapins spend time on land and in the water, and prefer to live close to water.

Wet Pets and Friends has often been the repository for unwanted or abandoned creatures that swim, slither or walk on four legs. Some, like Shelly, are reunited with their owners. Others are relinquished voluntarily.

“Mostly, people call about fish and they want to give us fish, like Koi from a pond,” Farruggia said.

There have been some kittens, but the store does not handle dogs.

“When Jerry’s (pet store) closed in Washington, we got a 4-foot iguana named King,” Farruggia said. “We had him for about a year.” The iguana was eventually adopted to a good home.

“We get birds from people too,” he said pointing to two large parrots in a cage near the front door. “But we don’t encourage (people dropping off unwanted animals,)” he added.

Occasionally, a pet owner will call about giving up an unwanted alligator. No way – the store does not accept alligators, Farruggia said firmly.

COUNCIL VOTES AGAINST SPRINKLER ORDINANCE

By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

By a unanimous vote Sept. 8, Peters Township Council defeated a motion to approve a new ordinance to permit property owners who are required to have sprinkler systems, to turn off those systems during extended time spent away from the residences.

During numerous previous council meetings, residents of at least two developments, namely Hidden Brook and Prestonwood, have asked council to amend the current township ordinance that requires certain types of plans to have the sprinkler systems, mainly those houses that are built in close proximity. Many of the residents of the Hidden Brook development have experienced broken water pipes, with some of the resulting damage reaching well over $100,000. The property owners encouraged council to change the current ordinance to permit the systems to be turned off while the residents are away from the homes.

Council offered several amendments, including the requirement of notification of the homeowners’ association and to neighbors adjacent or near to the property.

However, several of the property owners ob-

thealmanac.net

jected to the notification process, including the stipulated two-week notification period to the HOA, neighbors, insurance company and fire department.

Previous meetings have included suggesting the homeowners install additional safeguards to the systems, such as using anti-freeze in a vehicle during cold weather. However, several of the property owners said the switch to the safe guards would be costly.

Peters Township fire Chief Dan Coyle said he opposes the option of letting the property owners turn off the systems.

“I have a responsibility to make sure my firefighters are safe,” Coyle told council. He referred to having some systems on and others off at varying times during the year, as a “logistical nightmare.”

Councilman Robert Lewis is a professional engineer who has investigated several incidents of sprinkler damage and he said the main issue is personal safety. He made the motion of adopting the new ordinance, but said he would vote against it. When the final vote was taken, the motion to adopt failed.

Another vote on a motion failed regarding the township proceeding with legal action to sue First Energy Corp. regarding the company cutting down trees under electric transmission lines on township-owned property. That motion also failed unanimously.

facebook.com/SouthHillsAlmanac

Recently, several private property owners have filed a lawsuit against the company regarding tree cutting.

Following a public hearing at the beginning of the Sept. 8 meeting, council voted unanimously to authorize demolition of a house at 824 Old Washington Road that has been vacant for a number of years. The township’s building inspector, William Muzzy, and a structural engineer, Robert G. Mason Jr., testified the house is not longer safe to occupy. Several surrounding property owners also testified the house is having an adverse impact on property values.

Even though the demolition resolution passed, no start date was given. The property is set for an upset sale in Washington County Court at the end of the month. If purchased, the buyer will be responsible for all liens on the property.

In other action, council: • Approved a tent on a grass area at the rear of Open Restaurant, in the basement of the Venetia Post Office, for an Oktoberfest event. No dates or times were announced.

• Learned from planning director Ed Zuk that the U.S. Postal Service is contemplating requiring centralized boxes in newly proposed multi-family developments, including town houses, patio homes or apartment. There are no plans currently for centralized boxes for new single-family home developments, Zuk said.

DAUGHTER JOINS HER FATHER IN CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE

By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

Dr. Timothy B. Skraitz remembers the youngest patient he has ever worked on. She was about four hours old, was in the neonatal intensive care unit with breathing problems and was his daughter and oldest child, Kristina Skraitz. After making a few adjustments, baby Kristina Skraitz was breathing normally and her father took a deep sigh of relief.

Now, a few decades later, Kristina Skraitz has joined her father in his chiropractic practice in Peters Township with a speciality in women and children.

Her interest in becoming a chiropractor began while spending time in her father’s office as a child. However, she chose a different route in college, majoring in business at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She then worked in her father’s office running the front desk and operating the business side of the practice while taking additional classes at the Community College of Allegheny County.

Four years ago, she made the decision to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, graduating Feb. 21. Her father handed her the diploma.

“I was about to cry,” she said of the diploma presentation. “I have big shoes to fill.”

Kristina Skraitz and Nina Fatigati were fellow classmates and 2003 graduates of Peters Township High School who, according to Kristina Skraitz, shared a few classes, like anatomy, that eventually will help them in their careers.

“I’ve known her since second grade,” Kristina Skraitz said of Nina Fatigati.

Eleven years after graduating from high school, the fellow classmates are practicing along with their fathers in offices less

Drs. Kristina and Timothy Skraitz than a mile apart on Washington Road in Peters Township.

Nina Fatigati joined her father’s medical practice Aug. 1, specializing in internal medicine.

Kristina Skraitz said the classmates have not kept in touch, but that may change with a telephone call.

“We’d have a lot to talk about,” Kristina Skraitz said.

Kristina Skraitz is the oldest of four Skraitz children and the only one to become a chiropractor. Her father, Timothy Skraitz, is pleased to have her practicing alongside him.

When it came to career choices, “I let them decide for themselves. The idea is not to force them and let them form their own decisions,” Timothy Skraitz said, adding he never discouraged any of his children from attending chiropractic school.

Being a chiropractor is in the Skraitz blood. Timothy Skraitz’s twin brother, Tom, is a chiropractor in Buffalo, N.Y. Being petite is not a disadvantage for a chiropractor, Kristina Skraitz said. However, at 5-feet 3-inches tall, she does use a step stool found in each of the treatment rooms. Her speciality is treating women and children, including pregnant women who may suffer from lower back pain or other problems associated with the pregnancy.

Although not married, Kristina Skraitz loves working with children and has a kid-sized chair in her office. She uses a doll when working with small children, having the child point to the area on the doll where the child hurts.

But her practice is not limited to just women and children.

Kristina Skraitz went to Vietnam to continue her studies. Even though the human body is the same regardless of nationality, Kristina Skraitz said Americans are more prone to sitting while those in Vietnam have a tendency to squat, resulting in different chiropractic problems.

In addition to treating patients’ chiropractic needs, Kristina and Timothy Skraitz also work with patients on stress management. Timothy Skraitz’s wife and Kristina Skraitz’s mother, Vicki Skraitz, is a teacher in the Canon-McMillan School District, specializing in speech and language. At times, the three collaborate in helping patients.

Kristina Skraitz loves working with her father, but he has no intention of slowing down now that his daughter has joined the practice.

“I love what I do,” Timothy Skraitz said.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get him to retire,” she said.

REMEMBER 9/11, NOT RELIVE IT

SAVE THE DEER

As a long-standing Mt. Lebanon resident, I was always proud of my community until recently. I am now appalled that Mt. Lebanon residents, many of whom claim to be peaceful and moral citizens, have started a petition to kill the deer. It is shocking that residents care more about their pretentious gardens than about living creatures!

The deer, comprised of merely the same family of four, can be easily chased from yards by using organic products, clapping hands, or other nonviolent ways – not by killing.

I hope residents will search their hearts and not condone such violent behavior.

SAVE THE SAGE-GROUSE

I am pleased that the Obama administration is leading the effort to conserve the Greater Sage-Grouse, one of the most iconic and imperiled bird species of the American West. However, according to a scorecard released by conservation groups, the administration’s plan for grouse in Wyoming does not comply with the best available science or with standards necessary to protect grouse populations.

I feel strongly that the Bureau of Land Management and the USDA Forest Service need to follow the measures called for by agency scientists to conserve the species. These include recommendations to limit future oil and gas drilling and mining, better grazing practices and the creation of protected areas.

Conserving the Greater SageGrouse will require protecting large areas of habitat. Most priority sagegrouse habitat is already heavily degraded and grouse are only persisting in large, relatively undisturbed blocks of habitat.

Protecting the remaining large expanses of important sage-grouse habitat will also help stem the decline of many species of wildlife and preserve the wide-open spaces of the American West for future generations of Americans.

CHILDHOOD CANCERS CAN BE PREVENTED The vast majority of the 80,000 chemicals in everyday use in the United States, as well as globally, have never been tested for toxicity to humans. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 provides the EPA with the authority to require reporting, record-keeping and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and/or mixtures. But, the exclusions from TSCA are numerous, including, among others, food, drugs, cosmetics and pesticides. In the very simplest of terms, this means you and I do not know the safety of most of the chemicals in the products we use every day.

In recognition of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (September), it is important to underscore the point that several clinical, epidemiological and toxicological studies spanning the past 60 years support the hypothesis that early exposures to environmental carcinogens can cause childhood cancer and that infants and children are uniquely vulnerable.

The National Cancer Institute reports that pesticide exposure is, perhaps, the most dangerous, invasive and cumulative threat to a child’s early development and health. Each year, in the U.S., more than 1 billion pounds of synthetic pesticides – insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides and fungicides – are applied in agriculture, homes, schools, parks, playgrounds and daycare centers.

The National Toxicology Program has found in animal bioassays that a number of widely-used pesticides are carcinogenic. Epidemiologic studies have found consistent modest associations between pesticide exposures in utero and in early childhood and acute lymphocytic leukemia, childhood brain cancer and childhood nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. Rates of childhood leukemia are consistently elevated among children who grow up on farms, among children whose parents used pesticides in the home or garden, and among children of pesticide applicators, according to a multi-University study and as reported in Environmental Health Perspectives.

Early life exposures to harmful substances can affect children, says the Future of Children, a collaboration of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and the Brookings Institution. One example is polybrominated flame retardants (PBDEs) and similar chemicals, which are often added to infant products, according to Environmental Science & Technology. As a result, PBDEs are increasingly being found in human blood, breast milk and tissues. These chemicals are linked to many neurocognitive problems in children, including cancer.

Cancer is now the second leading cause of death among children under age 15 in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute. Mortality from childhood cancer is exceeded only by deaths from injury and violence. Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer.

Incidence of leukemia in 0-14 year-old U.S. children increased from 3.3 per 100,000 in 1975 to 5.1 per 100,000 in 2005, a 55 percent increase. Acute lymphocytic leukemia increased in the same years from 2.2 to 4.0 per 100,000, an 81 percent increase.

Now more than ever, a global sea change is needed in our approach to childhood cancer. Two fundamental problems of the current approach involve far too much emphasis on early detection and treatment of cancer.

While important, this direction does not get at the root, often unrecognized, causes. In addition, existing prevention efforts are devoted almost solely to lifestyle factors such as smoking, exercise and diet. Once again, these are critical – but they are not sufficient.

Many cancers caused by environmental and occupational exposures can be prevented. Primary prevention that halts exposure is the single most effective strategy of reducing cancer incidence and saving lives and billions of dollars.

In 2010, President Obama’s Cancer Panel recommended that the U.S. Congress must prevail to make cancer prevention the top priority. This is a major shift and some contend that it will take a Second War on Cancer in the efforts to stress cancer prevention rather than early detection and cure-at-all-costs.

I call on the Administration and Congress to make the discovery and prevention of the environmental causes of childhood cancer a national priority for our country. I extend the same challenge to all nations who value their children. Today, hundreds of thousands of children are being inadvertently exposed to hazardous chemicals at a time in their lives when they are uniquely sensitive to the long-term, detrimental effects. We must change the way we approach childhood cancer. We simply must make prevention the top priority.

Each year, as the date Sept. 11 approaches, we reflect and remember the events of the terrible day that was Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. We remember where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news that America was under attack.

We take a moment of silence for the victims, attend memorials or church services in honor of those who lost their lives that day. We may even take a trip to New York City to visit Ground Zero and the new 9/11 Memorial, as Mt. Lebanon resident “NY Vinnie” Richichi does each year.

And, thanks to countless programming on what seems like every television station, we rip off The magthe bandage, pick the scab nitude of and pour salt that day is in our emo- something tional wound that time will as we watch the planes slam never heal. into the World Trade Center towers, listen to eye witness accounts of the horror, and then watch the towers fall. We watch as family members of the victims sob as they describe the last point of contact that they had with loved ones on the airplanes or in the towers.

We watch the powerful documentary “9/11” directed by brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, which was supposed to be a film about probie NYC firefighter James Hanlon. In that film, we watch some first responders say what ended up being their final goodbyes to each other before ascending the stairs of the towers, and we listen as bodies hit the ground, jumping from floors high above the inferno.

Even 13 years later, it is still all too much. The magnitude of that day is something that time will never heal.

We absolutely should remember Sept. 11, 2001, and we should pay tribute to those who lost their lives, whether they were on the planes, in the towers, first responders, or simply those who felt it their duty to show up and do what they could.

But we shouldn’t have to relive it year after year.

POOLING TOGETHER: BUSINESSES CHIP IN TO HELP WOUNDED VET

By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

Jan Cerminara of Pool and Spa Outlet on Galley Road in North Strabane Township said in the 26 years she and her husband, Fred, have been in business, the company has installed thousands of pools. However, the fiberglass pool recently installed at the Vitale house in Peters Township is one of – if not, the most – important projects, she said.

Doug Vitale was severely wounded while fighting in Afghanistan in September 2011 when he stepped on a land mine. He lost both legs above the knee and suffered strokes on both sides of his brain because of blood loss.

In July, Vitale and his wife, Alexis, moved into their custom home in Peters Township designed to permit the couple to live as independently as possible. Funds for the $500,000 home were raised through community efforts, such as VFW Post 764 in Peters Township, and other national organizations including the Wounded Warrior Project and Tunnels to Towers.

While the home is equipped with special lifts and other amenities to aid the Vitales, Cerminara knew something was missing – and that something was an outdoor therapy pool.

When Doug Vitale’s mother-in-law, Denise Abraham of Peters Township, was purchasing a hot tub from Cerminara’s daughter, Ashley Meucci, who went to Peters Township High School with Abraham’s son, Matt, the two began

“We had amazing community support,” she said. “Alexis expects nothing, but you just can’t do enough for them. Here is a young man in the prime of his life and he served his country.”

Not only was the pool donated, but the Cerminara family is providing lifetime pool maintenance including opening and closing the heated pool.

“Hopefully, this (pool) will help him and keep his muscles going,” Cerminara said.

Alexis Vitale said the couple will use the pool for water therapy.

bethel park FIRST OIL AND VINEGAR IN PA. OPENS IN SOUTH HILLS MORTGAGE BROKER PLEADS GUILTY

David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

By David Singer

The husband and wife team of Todd and Angela McMasters have opened the first of three Oil and Vinegar franchise locations in Pennsylvania at the South Hills Village mall.

The gourmet culinary gift shop is outfitted with over a dozen glass globes of imported oils and vinegars, ranging from the sweet pomegranate pulp vinegars, to the savory basil and tomato oils, to the earthy grapeseed oils flavored with herbs and spices. Next to packaged hors d’oeuvres sit tens of dishes of the liquids and breads to sample.

“These products are so unique and exclusive,” Todd McMasters said. “For example, these Bonsecco olives and this type of olive oil, they’re only available in our stores, or from the estate it grows on in Italy. And nearly everything is made preservative-free, and is a quality, healthy food product.”

McMasters said at the Sept. 6 opening the South Hills location is the first of three the franchise holders are committed to opening within three years, with the next opening in Pennsylvania around the same time next year.

“We have the rights to the western twothirds of the state, so out to about Harrisburg, though we still don’t know where the next store will open,” McMasters said.

Of the nearly 100 stores around the world,

President and CEO of Oil and Vinegar Matt Stermer helps guests with samples. there will only be 19 Oil and Vinegar stores in the U.S. by year’s end.

The store features almost entirely imported goods from Europe and the Mediterranean.

The non-traditional goods offer some unique flavor options.

“This mango pulp vinegar, of course you can use it in a salad, but it so sweet and smooth, you can use it as a mixer with coconut rum and a splash of a soft drink, and you have a healthier alcoholic drink option,” An-

gela McMasters said. “Vinegar is a digestive aid, and you won’t get pure quality like this anywhere else. So if not a party drink, you can add some soda water or juice and these just come to life.”

The McMasters said expect a lot of copper in their gift items this holiday season, as European trend experts say that will be the big theme for chefs and similarly-minded gift buyers this year.

The founder of a brokerage firm has pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud.

Richard Stromberg, 49, who had operated Great American Equity Mortgage at 1035 Boyce Road, pleaded guilty before District Judge Donnetta Ambrose after he “knowingly conspired with various other individuals (from 2002-08) to defraud lenders,” U.S. Attorney David Hickton said.

The conspiracy involved submission of loan applications to lenders that misrepresented the borrowers’ financial condition, such as inflating income and assets, and overstated appraisals for properties serving as collateral for the loans, Hickton said. Stromberg and others also submitted false supporting documentation with misrepresentations carried over from the applications. According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, banks lost nearly $2.5 million and some of the mortgages brokered by Stromberg’s firm ended in foreclosure.

Stromberg could have faced 30 years in prison, a fine of $1 million, or both, yet a plea agreement calls for a five-year prison term and an amount to be determined in fines, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan Conway, who is prosecuting the case. Judge Ambrose scheduled sentencing for Jan. 12, 2015.

12 • SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

The Spencer Family YMCA suffered another setback this week as members of the Bethel Park Zoning Hearing Board denied the YMCA appeal of the decision of the municipal zoning officer.

By a vote of 4-1, the board voted to uphold the zoning officer’s decision denying approval of educational studios, aerobic and weight lifting facilities as accessory uses to the building.

The decision was a continuation of a hearing which began in July.

Voting in favor of the YMCA representatives request was board member Charles Koch, who, before the decision, tried to get the vote delayed to allow board members more time to review information.

Anxious to move forward with the process and to make the deadline for a decision by Bethel Park Council, which was scheduled for Sept. 8, YMCA representatives requested that the board make a decision.

“I’m totally floored,” Richard Perallo, vice president of facilities and construction for the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh, said afterward.

“Without this, we won’t proceed.”

The decision further delays the YMCA plan to develop the former BladeRunners Ice Complex into a $13.8 million replacement for it’s Upper St. Clair facility. Construction and renovation of the ice rink is planned for early 2015, Perallo said.

In 2012, the YMCA purchased BladeRunners for $2.5 million. Plans call for additions to the existing building to create a 74,033-square-foot building, which would include a gym, indoor

The Spencer Family YMCA’s zoning appeal was denied. The YMCA would be in what is now BladeRunners in Bethel Park, but the zoning board has not approved the educational studios, aerobic and weight lifting facilities as accessory uses to the building. swimming pool, as well as fitness and wellness facilities. In addition, because of intervention of the South Hills Amateur Hockey Association, the YMCA plans to keep one of the two sheets of ice currently located within the facility.

The YMCA has contracted with BladeRunners to operate the ice rinks until renovations begin, and the facility currently remains open.

YMCA officials have said the Upper St. Clair facility is too small to meet the needs of the approximately 6,500 South Hills residents the organization serves.

In May, Allegheny County Court of Common Please Judge Joseph James ruled that representatives of the YMCA hadn’t shown the zoning hearing board sufficient evidence that the facility could not be developed without an exemption from zoning restrictions that prohibit educational studios, bowling, aerobic and

weight lifting facilities.

According to Robert Xides Jr., an attorney who represents Bethel Park resident Harry Chapman, HealthTrax Fitness & Wellness and Curves of Bethel Park, that decision has been appealed to Commonwealth Court and a hearing date has been set for Sept. 22.

Xides, whose clients are opposed to the YMCA providing competition to their businesses in a tax exempt building, said that in 1994, Bethel Park municipal officials designated the BladeRunners site as a conservation district.

At that time, BladeRunners developers had purchased the property, which sits adjacent to the high school, from the Bethel Park School District and residents were concerned about a business being operated so close to their homes.

“There is some very narrow criteria, with good reason, in the ordinance,” Xides said.

COUNCIL FORMS HOME RULE STUDY COMMITTEE

By Susan Schmeichel For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Bethel Park Council has formed a commission to study the municipality’s home rule charter.

Councilman James McLean made the announcement during the monthly council meeting. McLean will chair the commission, which will be studying the 35-year-old charter and making recommendations for revisions.

The committee will include four other mem-

bers of council, as well as six Bethel Park residents.

The first meeting of the commission is scheduled for Oct. 7 and the public is invited to attend. The commission will meet every other month and there will also be several public hearings.

“We encourage public input,” McLean said.

The only council member to oppose the study was Don Harrison. “(The charter) has served us very well,” Harrison said. “It doesn’t need to be changed.”

Harrison, a member of the council that adopted the original charter, said there is a provision for change, voter referendum, built into the charter.

The charter has been amended by voter referendum four times since its adoption, he said.

The most recent amendment to the home rule charter occurred in 2013 when voters overwhelmingly approved a change to allow creation of a real estate tax with the revenue being used to fund the building of a new station for the Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Company.

COUNCIL EXPECTED TO APPROVE SALT PURCHASE Alliance, at a meeting scheduled for Sept. 8.

In order to get the price through the purchasing alliance, the municipality must estimate the amount they will need and purchase at least 80 percent of that estimate. If they go over their estimate by 20 percent or more, they will pay the premium price for additional salt.

Lauren O’Brien with school children in Uganda.

BP GRADUATE CHANGING LIVES IN UGANDA

By Susan Schmeichel For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

A Bethel Park woman who has devoted much of her young life to helping empower others through education and opportunity recently got a chance to meet some of the people whose lives she has changed.

“I’m really involved in Africa,” Lauren O’Brien said. “I’m really passionate about it.”

The 20-year-old Duquesne University sophomore spent five weeks in Uganda learning more about the country and meeting students who are getting a chance to go to school because of her extraordinary fundraising efforts.

“In high school, I was always selling chocolate,” O’Brien said, joking that her bedroom looked like Willy Wonka’s factory. “In one month, I made $1,000.”

Selling Sarris candy bars is just one of the many ways O’Brien raised money to send a group of Ugandan orphans to school.

O’Brien was 17 when she learned about the 25 years of war in Central Africa and about children who were abducted and forced into service as child soldiers and sex slaves. So, she began raising funds for groups working in Uganda.

One of her projects includes buying products made by Women Enterprises and Network Development, a group which provides sustainable jobs for Ugandan women, and selling those items to make money for Ugandan students.

“That helps two different generations of people,” she explained.

Last year, O’Brien heard about 30 orphans who would not be able to afford to attend school.

In Uganda, she explained, it costs a family about $200 a year to send a child to elementary school and about $700 for high school. For that reason, many families only send their oldest child or only their sons.

“Girls not only need to go to school, but they also need health and sex education,” O’Brien said. “Education benefits not only them, but also their whole community.”

O’Brien made it her goal to raise enough money to pay for a year of school for those 30 children.

Her efforts included selling more chocolate, organizing fundraisers such as Halloween danc-

thealmanac.net

es, concerts and all night movie events.

O’Brien wrote up proposal letters and persuaded churches and other venues to let her use their space free of charge, and she got businesses to donate snacks and raffle items. O’Brien charged students $5 and sold snacks and raffle tickets for items such as Penguin game tickets or seats on the comfy couch for the next feature that night.

“One movie night I raised $900,” she said.

O’Brien also spoke to any group of people who would listen.

“I did a Thinking Day for Girl Scouts,” she said. “I spoke at six Masses at St. Joan of Arc and after each, I sat on a bench outside with a bucket.”

Parishioners donated $4,000.

She spent Valentine’s Day going through her dorm selling heart-shaped lollipops to students.

Once again, candy was the key, and she made $400.

Not just a fundraiser, O’Brien donated money she made working at the concession stand at Simmons Park, and as a waitress at Kings to Ugandan causes.

“One hundred percent of my tips went to Orphans’ Hope and 100 percent of my paychecks went to Invisible Children,” she said.

She also worked as a constable at local polling places and donated that money, too.

Even the $500 she won in a poetry contest went to causes to benefit others.

“I really didn’t deserve that money,” she said modestly. “I had to write it anyway for a school assignment.”

O’Brien set up a Facebook page and solicited donations, and by the time school started in Uganda, she had raised enough money for not only the original 30, but also 12 more children to continue their education.

O’Brien is currently majoring in communications, but is writing a proposal to design her own major in nonprofit management. Her parents, she said, were worried about how she would keep up her grades while working for so many causes. She made dean’s list both semesters of her freshman year.

While raising money for the orphans, O’Brien learned about two sisters, Pauline and Juliet, orphaned when their parents died of AIDS. The sisters were among the students who are able to

facebook.com/SouthHillsAlmanac

attend school thanks to O’Brien, and the inspiration for her foundation dedicated to educating and empowering women.

“I thought of all the problems young girls here face and on top of all of that, they are orphans,” she said. “Being able to supply these children with education means eventually they would be able to help their community and the world.”

While in Uganda, O’Brien met eight of the permanent beneficiaries of that foundation.

The eight girls will have their education funded through university graduation, and will receive help with job placement. Janet, one of the eight, was especially distraught about not being able to continue her education as she was about to enter high school.

“She showed up at my friend’s house in the middle of the night crying because her parents could not afford to send her back to school,” O’Brien said.

O’Brien also met Herbert, a young man who received one of two wheelchairs for which she raised funds.

“His mother hugged me and said the day the wheelchair arrived was one of the best days of her life,” she said.

Among the things O’Brien took with her on her trip were two suitcases filled with books, which she distributed to three different schools.

Visiting the schools inspired her latest project, raising $50,000 to build a school and a library. “’It’s going to be best school in the district,” she said.

Most importantly, the new school will have desks, O’Brien said. In Uganda, most students sit on benches, if not on the dirt floor, and are easily distracted, she explained. She has already started fund raising by sending letters to community and college service clubs to allow her to speak to them about the project. She is also ordering more candy and has friends lined up to sell the heart-shaped lollipops at colleges throughout Pittsburgh.

“I’ll have events,” she said. “I’ll get another weekend job. I’ll go door-to-door if I have to.

I raised $32,000 in less than three years. If I make a goal, I’m going to reach it!”

‘CROAKER’ McMurray filmmaker Fred Terling’s first independent feature film, “Croaker,” is now available on DVD in area Giant Eagle retail outlets, including Trinity Point, Donaldson’s Crossroads, Market District Bethel Park and South Fayette.

“Croaker” is about the relationship of four friends and two brothers who are victims of a 15th century curse, which unleashes a monster from Slavic folklore, the Vodnik. The county sheriff has doubts about the brothers and instead thinks there is a more ominous reason for the disappearance of some of the town’s residents.

“It’s a very different kind of monster movie, we broke all the rules of the contemporary genre. There is no blood, no teens and no scantily clad co-eds. ‘Croaker’ is a family-friendly throwback to the campy drive-in monster movies of the ’60s and ’70s,” Terling said.

DIRECTORS AT LITTLE LAKE GOING TO CALIFORNIA

engagement

By Brad Hundt Staff Writer bhundt@observer-reporter.com

For the first time in its 65-year history, someone named Disney will not be at the helm of Little Lake Theatre Co., following the announcement Sept. 3 that artistic director Sunny Disney Fitchett will step down in 2015.

Her husband, Rob Fitchett, the managing director for the theater company, will also be leaving. Little Lake, located off Route 19 in McMurray, was founded in 1949 by Sunny’s father, Will Disney, and the couple took the reins at the theater when he retired in 1993. They plan on moving to a small community outside Sacramento, Calif., in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, where Rob plans on pursuing work in the wine industry and Sunny plans on writing plays for children. He Sunny Disney is a California native, while she grew up and attended school Fitchett in the Golden State.

“We’re not retiring,” Sunny said, adding with a laugh, “we’ve been running a theater company, not a Fortune 500 company.”

The Fitchetts will stay with Little Lake at least through June, allowing its board of directors enough time to pick their successors, and for the Fitchetts to work with them in the transitional period. The roster of plays in the 2015

DWORAK - HEISLER ALLISON DURATZ / STAFF

Little Lake Theatre season will likely be a mix of choices made by Sunny and the new artistic director.

“There’s not really a way to fill their shoes,” said Kevin Gallagher, the president of Little Lake’s board of directors. Gallagher cited “not just their longevity, but their expertise.”

Gallagher said there’s no specific date set for when the board will choose the new managing and artistic directors. Both Gallagher and Sunny emphasized Little Lake is in solid financial shape, and dispelled any notion the Fitchetts’ departure was prompted by concerns about its future. Subscription sales for its children’s Looking Glass Theatre exceeded expectations

this year, and its mainstage productions, which included favorites like Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and less well-known fare, like the period piece “When We Are Married,” have typically drawn about 100 people per performance. Little Lake’s staging of “Doubt,” the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winner by John Patrick Shanley, opened Sept. 4.

“It’s sort of the best time for Rob and I to leave,” Sunny said. “(The board) is so committed to moving forward. It’s going to be OK. It has already evolved in so many ways. We’re both excited about Little Lake’s future.”

BORDER BATTLE BETHEL PARK HOSTS UPPER ST. CLAIR

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Jeff Metheny and Jim Render agree on one thing. When Bethel Park hosts Upper St. Clair at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 12 in Southeastern Conference football action, both teams will be prepared.

“We will be ready [for Bethel],” said Render, the legendary coach of the Panthers.

BP’s Metheny said, “It’s not hard to get up for our neighbors down the road. That’s the easy part of it.”

The hard part for the Hawks is overcoming the sting of defeat. BP dropped to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the conference after falling to Woodland Hills, 33-31. The Hawks appeared to have the game won against the top-ranked team in QuadA when Charlie Davis returned a fumble 35 yards for a touchdown with 1:30 to play. However, Art Thompkins responded with a 75-yard kick-off return for the winning score.

“It’s disappointing. Heartbreaking,” said Metheny of the loss. “It’s not going to take just a day to get over what happened.

“We played well at times. We made a lot of mistakes. That cost us in the end. We had a couple costly errors for sure.”

One of the biggest was when a snap to the punter sailed over Chris Papalia’s head and Joe-El Shaw recovered in the end zone giving Woodland Hills a 27-24 lead. Plus, there was the 64-yard TD reception by Thompkins. The scores erased a 24-13 lead by the Hawks.

Alex Minton helped mount that advantage when he tackled Penn State recruit Miles Sanders in the end zone for a safety. Minton also rushed for a 1-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Levi Metheny kept BP close in the first half with scoring strikes of eight and six yards to Chiante Pryor and Jacob Dixon before Matthew Monte gave the Hawks a 17-13 advantage with his third-quarter field goal of 44 yards.

BLUE DEVILS TAKING NOTHING FOR GRANTED AGAINST BALDWIN

Meanwhile, the Eagles are led by Ty Washington. He gained 93 yards in a 48-12 win against Quaker Valley. South Park is 1-1 in the conference, having lost its opener to Seton-La Salle.

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Mt. Lebanon takes nothing for granted when it visits Baldwin this Friday. Though the Highlanders are 1-1 overall, this is their first Southeastern Conference game of the 2014 campaign. Lebo, likewise, is 1-1 overall, but 1-0 in the league, which most expected Woodland Hills (2-0) to dominate. However, the Wolverines were pushed to the limit by Bethel Park last week, before pulling out a 33-31 victory.

“The Woody High-Bethel Park result proves that every game in our conference is a dogfight,” said Lebo skipper Mike Melnyk.

And that’s exactly what the Blue Devils are expecting from the Highlanders. Baldwin boasts Penn State recruit Sterling Jenkins, a 6-8, 310-pound lineman, as well as Douglas Attavilla. The senior signal caller followed up an opening season performance of 10 completions on 17 attempts for 107 yards with 224 yards and three scores in a 31-21 loss to Butler last week.

Attavilla’s brother, Nicholas, hauled in eight of those aerials for 125 yards.

“I am concerned with their skill kids, their excellent quarterback and their defense,” said Melnyk of the Highlanders.

After watching the Blue Devils romp all over Moon, 54-6, Baldwin has the same concerns.

Against the Tigers, Eddie Jenkins rushed for 87 yards and a 6-yard TD on 12 carries. He also passed for 42 yards and a 20-yard TD strike to Shane Lafever.

Behind a powerful line, Nick Tommasi (40 yards), Joey Stabile (2 and 34 yards) and Sean White (9 yards) rushed for touchdowns.

“The offense has been balanced with many kids contributing,” Melnyk said. “Joe Stabile and Nick Tommasi are just two of the kids who have done a nice job and the offensive line has been opening holes.”

Special teams also accounted for another score as Brennan Wells raced 57 yards into the end zone on a return. David Abbondanza also returned an interception for another touchdown, this one measuring 48 yards.

“I was pleased with our focus,” Melnyk said.

“The kids were relentless against Moon.”

Even though they have outscored the opposition, 94-6, in two games, Melnyk noted the Blue Devils still can get better. “We have to continue to improve in all three phases of the game if we are going to win in our conference,” he said.

EAST ALLEGHENY AT KEYSTONE OAKS

The Golden Eagles look to get on the winning track when they host winless East Allegheny in Century Conference action. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Sept. 12 at Dormont Stadium.

After dropping a 51-7 decision against South Fayette, the Golden Eagles also dropped to 0-2.

In the loss, Kobe Phillippi accounted for the only KO score by rushing five yards for a touchdown in the fourth frame.

CARLYNTON AT SETON-LA SALLE

The No. 3-ranked Rebels ran their record to 2-0 in Century Conference play when they dispatched South Allegheny, 41-20. They play the winless Cougars this week.

Ricky Mellick rushed for 144 yards and two scores of 6 and 2 yards in the triumph. Liam Sweeney also ran for two touchdowns, measuring 1 and 4 yards.

Tyler Perone completed 18 of 23 passes for 211 yards. He tossed two TDs of 10 and 12 yards to Danzel McKinley-Lewis and Parris Ford.

McKinley-Lewis caught seven passes for 94 yards in the game.

Despite their winning record, the Rebels appeared sluggish in a year filled with high expectations. They break huddle on state champions.

“For where we are trying to go, we have to clean everything up,” said SLS head coach Damon Rosol. “We have lofty goals. We don’t just want to make the playoffs or win the conference.”

NORTHGATE AT CANEVIN

The Crusaders are coming off a 20-14 win against Union, as they prepare to host Northgate at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at Dormont Stadium.

While the Wolverines turned the ball over six times, BP had three miscues. In all, however, Metheny was pleased with the team’s progress from its opening-season loss to Central Catholic, 41-0. The Vikings and the Wolverines were WPIAL Quad-A finalists, with Central winning the championship and finishing runner-up in the state.

“We ran the ball better. We were a lot more physical. We played good defense, except for some big plays. We definitely improved since week one but we still have a lot of work to do.”

Render, likewise, was pleased with USC’s progress. The Panthers dispatched Peters Township, 35-13, one week after they had dropped a turnover-plagued decision to Penn Hills, 33-13.

“We did not give the ball away,” Render noted dryly.

“We were another week mature. A lot of our kids never started and played under the lights before,” he continued.

Against the Indians, USC continued to perfect it’s multi-quarterback system as Gunnar Lund rushed for two scores of 15 and 7 yards inside the red zone and Dan Trocano passed for two scores of 8 and 33 yards to Marcus Galie and Andrew Bartusiak. Tracano finished with 130 yards after completing 10 of 12 aerials.

USC also utilized Jackson Geisler behind center. Render says he was pleased with the things his talented sophomore did late in the fray.

“You might call it a wrinkle in the offense,” Render said in reply to a reporter’s question, “but we developed that when we had Dakota Conwell (Arizona) and Pete Coughlin (W&J).

It’s not one quarterback versus another quarterback. It’s what we like to do and have done.

There is no grand scheme. It’s a process.”

For BP, the process also continues. The Hawks, like the Panthers, suffered severe graduation loss. While USC had to replace all but one starter, BP graduated 25 seniors from last year’s playoff team.

“We lost a lot of guys and we are like them in that regard,” explained Metheny. “We need to work on our schemes and we need to become more sound. We have to eliminate the big plays.

Work on technique and keep getting better. No question, we will get better.”

Thomas Vissman continues to improve. The sophomore led USC’s ground attack and for the second game in a row rushed for over 100 yards.

He gained 112 against the Indians. Marcus Galie, who rushed for an 8-yard TD against Peters, is USC’s second-leading rusher. However, the Panthers have a plethora of talented backs, including Bartusiak, Mike Krenn, Kevin Chrissis, Andrew Baltutat, Dom Folino and Sean Thomas.

The Hawks will find the Panthers resilient when it comes to responding to pressure. As the Hawks did against the Wolverines, the Panthers answered each salvo. After the Indians made big plays, USC answered with key scores, including one on a fourth-down play and right before the first half ended. Noting that he was pleased with the way his team responded when the Indians struck, Jim Render said, “We showed poise and we made some plays.”

Metheny says his Hawks cannot afford to give up the big plays or turn the ball over.

“We have to take care of the football, get better on special teams and not give up the big play,” he said. “They will play their best game of the year and we have to be ready for that. It’s going to be a good week in the conference.”

the result against the Big Macs. “That was a very, very good team. We were only able to capitalize on two of many chances in the first half and that’s a credit to them.”

In the second half, the Big Macs controlled time of possession and created chances. C-M, however, failed to get the ball in space to last season’s leading scorer, senior midfielder Josh Kruczek.

“I don’t know how many shots we had on their frame in the first half, but they took it to us in the second half,” Dyer said.

Peters took it to the Tigers in a non-section contest.

With 11 minutes left in the first half, Wes Ward buried a shot, giving the Indians a 1-0 advantage. He added a second score 15 minutes into the second half. Mastrangelo assisted.

Mastrangelo completed the scoring with a goal with 10 minutes to play. Dylan Weyers assisted off the set piece.

Stack should be an impact player for the Rebels. Last fall, he provided a boost for the Rebels, said Kelly. He had two goals and one assist in nine games. “With a year of him getting bigger and stronger, he’ll have the ability to take a game over and generate a lot of offense throughout the season. The coaching staff feels confident he will deliver,” said Kelly.

While the Rebels do not boast the size and athleticism they possessed last season, they are a technically-sound team. With their skill level, they can create more scoring chances in the run of play.

“We did not do a good job of that last season and it hurt us in certain games,” said Kelly.

“We lost guys including Christian Vogel and Noah Kaib, so we cannot really rely on scoring from 1-2 set pieces each game. Hopefully, that is an area we can improve.”

Defense must improve, too. Already the Rebels have surrendered eight goals in four games.

“I really hope we can have a better season defending,” Kelly said. “We became lazy in the defensive third towards the end of the season and that led to a lot of soft goals last year. It’s really difficult to lose games if you don’t let the other guys get on the scoreboard.”

South Fayette has 45 players out for girls’ soccer this year. In addition to the freshmen, the juniors and sophomores are talented enough to step in and contribute heavily throughout the season. “Numbers, numbers, numbers,” said Capra is the team’s success.
