WHOLE FOODS DEVELOPERS SUE GIANT EAGLE

By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

The developers aiming to build a mixed-use facility adjacent to South Hills Village mall have filed a lawsuit against Giant Eagle and other challengers to their site seeking unspecified damages from delays the defendants allegedly caused.

Jerry Cipriani and Hal Kestler, the developers named as 1800 Washington Road Associates in the 38-page filing, said Giant Eagle, Sprawl Busters and attorney Thomas Ayoob have been making “unlawful efforts to prevent legitimate competitors to Giant Eagle ... (and) from offering the citizens of Upper St. Clair a meaningful choice in grocery stores.”

A Giant Eagle Market District store is located at South Hills Village square, one half-mile from the proposed development site, which

would be anchored by a Whole Foods store.

The developers said both Whole Foods and Market District stores attract the same types of customers, and that Giant Eagle enlisted the help of co-conspirators to stifle competition.

In the filing, the developers go on to say the defendants have caused serious and lengthy delays through “frivolous zoning appeals,” and have “deprived the citizens of (Upper St. Clair Township) of substantial tax revenue that would have been collected had the development proceeded unimpeded,” and have tarnished the professional reputations of the developers (with incorrect traffic data and slanderous claims of rodent infestations distributed to the public).” The developers said the multiple zoning appeals and subsequent delays have diminished the value of the property, and they have incurred attorneys’ fees and expenses defending the “improper attacks,” to which they are seeking compensation.

President of Charter Homes, Rob Bowman, presented a draft for 620 lots with 400 homes on a roughly 70 acre plan.

“This would include micro-retail districts, and a terraformed park with sloped, rolling hills and rock formations. The plan would have lots of green space that connects each home and also to nearby Mayview park,” Bowman said The property is currently owned by Mark and David Aloe, entrepreneurs who have worked in the coal industry. Bowman said they are still working to close the sale of the property.

In other action, the board voted unanimously to approve updated floodwater management plans, which required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, allows homeowners to keep or renew flood insurances.

The board tabled a $30,000 proposal from AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. to examine current storm water management plan and infrastructure.

man Rob Borella said the complaint is without merit and that Giant Eagle has consistently acted ethically in voicing its concerns about the development site.

“The complaint contains numerous material misstatements,” he said, “and Giant Eagle plans to vigorously defend against the allegations and is confident this case will be resolved in its favor.”

The unspecified compensation and punitive damages the developers are seeking are appropriate, they say, because “Giant Eagle’s, Sprawl Buster’s (and other involved attorneys’) actions were committed intentionally, willfully and maliciously as to indicate wanton disregard for WRA’s rights,” and that Giant Eagle’s history of “anti-competitive dealings ... merit the imposition of punitive damages as to deter such conduct currently and in the future.”

BOARD SELECTS NEGOTIATOR FOR TEACHERS’ CONTRACT

By Nick Lewandowski For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

The Mt. Lebanon school board approved a negotiator for upcoming talks with the district’s teachers’ union at its Sept. 15 meeting.

The board voted unanimously to contract with Maiello, Brungo & Maiello, LLP, for chief negotiator services.

School board president Elaine Cappucci explained that the current collective bargaining agreement with the teachers’ union ends June 30, 2015, and that the district is obligated to have an initial negotiating meeting in January 2015. She said the firm’s senior managing partner, Alfred Maiello, served as chief negotiator for the last contract, and that the board was pleased with his performance.

“We value the work of all our teachers and hope this process will be smooth for everyone,” Cappucci concluded.

The board also passed a resolution supporting PA House Bill 2124, which would reform the state’s PlanCon process governing reimbursement for school construction projects. Proposed changes include shortening the process from 11 different steps to five, and allowing districts to make submissions electronically rather than on microfilm.

Mt. Lebanon has completed the PlanCon process for its high school renovation project but is still awaiting reimbursement from the state.

School board member Mary Birks made it clear that should it pass, the bill will not speed reimbursements to districts already in the queue.

It will, however, simplify the process and reduce its cost to districts that apply for reimbursement in the future.

COMMUNITY HOLDS PRAYER VIGIL FOR COLLEGE FRESHMAN IN COMA

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Prayers for Marissa went from just a hashtag on Twitter to a full-fledged community vigil on a football practice field at Bethel Park High School Sept. 11 as concerned citizens lit candles and implored God to intercede in healing a recent graduate.

Shortly after enrolling at the University of Pittsburgh for her freshman year, Marissa Oakley of Bethel Park took ill. When the fever she was treating failed to relent, her parents, Geoff and Marnie, took her to the hospital to be examined. Once at Presbyterian Hospital, Marissa seized. Since she continued to have seizures in her brain, Marissa has been placed in a medically-induced coma. The sedation allows her brain a chance to rest and also enables her tending physicians an opportunity to figure out what is causing the condition and how to treat it effectively.

letter to the editor LET THEM PLAY Note to self: the old adage “Get on the ball! Be on the ball!” heard playing soccer as a youth, still holds true.

As summer came to a close, the smell of fall ripening filled the air; I discussed the seasonal activities with my 9-year-old son. As was standard, he made the decision to play soccer. Last year, his mother was an assistant coach, the year before, I was. After the discussion, I went online and pursued fulfilling the registration application. At this point, it was two days prior to the deadline for registration. Once I made my way onto the Mt. Lebanon Soccer Association (MLSA) website and continued on to their registration site, I was prompted to provide login information and password. I came to a

6 • SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014

standstill. I did not have an account on the registration site, so how was I able to provide this?

I wasn’t. So, I attempted to set up an account.

That went fine. Now to enter the player, my son onto my account. Failed! It stated that he was already assigned to an account and could not be assigned to more than one. Again it requested the login and password for the account. And still, I did not know of any.

So, I then began a long line of attempts to gain knowledge of that information and have my son registered. To make a long story shorter, I never received the login info. His mother attempted, but at that point, it was a day after registration had closed. MLSA stated in an email, “Sorry registration is closed. Should have contacted me last night. Better luck next time.”

I continued on requesting to MLSA that the president of MLSA be given this to consider. I

asked that due to my documented attempts to register my son prior to the deadline, that an exception be made and that my son be considered registered. I received no correspondence back in writing ever. I did receive a phone call that lasted more than 30 minutes late one evening while my family was on vacation, and I was told several reasons why they (MLSA) do not make exceptions and are not going to start. I was explained to that the maximum capacity had been reached. I was informed that field space was limited. None of the reasons took into account that I attempted to register my son prior to the deadline, nor did they justify my son not having the ability to play on the field this season. Also, they offered no waiting list of any type, no option. He’s not playing here in Lebo.

I took it further and spoke with PA West (local oversight committee, soccer specific) and to

thealmanac.net

US Youth Soccer (national), also spoke with Mt. Lebanon Recreation Department. Some have a view that there should be a place for a 9-yearold to play on a soccer team. I have contacted other local clubs and they had room and would take him despite their registration being closed.

However, MLSA will not be governed by their peers or by their big brothers. No exceptions.

I have heard recently about how allowing another player on the field would in turn limit another’s time. I know. My son is limited completely. He can’t even step on the field. He’s 9, and he wants to play.

Limiting a child’s ability to play at 9 years of age. Why? Let them all play.

Fortunately, many manufacturers, technical schools and local and state governments have teamed up to help narrow the skills gap.

In Wisconsin, state leaders have included over $100 million for worker training in the 2013-15 budget. The Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship initiative has already enrolled more than 1,200 high school students. Another 500 will soon join them, thanks to legislation signed late last year by Governor Scott Walker.

Meanwhile, many of Wisconsin’s 9,400 manufacturers have partnered with secondary and post-secondary schools to offer hands-on apprenticeship programs. As part of an effort led by the Northeast Wisconsin (NEW) Manufacturing Alliance, my company, Green Baybased KI Furniture, has brought in over 1,000 local students for plant tours and internships.

Wisconsin’s manufacturing industry now contributes about $50 billion to the state’s GDP. Wisconsin’s manufacturers grew at the seventh-best clip in the nation between 2012 and 2013 – adding more than 13,000 jobs in the process.

There’s a common perception that American manufacturing is in decline. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Instead, a shortage of qualified workers is holding American manufacturing back. Our nation’s public- and private-sector leaders must invest in closing that skills gap. If they do, an American industrial renaissance will follow.

Dick Resch is CEO of KI Furniture.

@shillsalmanac

In 1872, when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted, the unofficial motto of the United States was “E pluribus unum,” Latin for “Out of many, one.”

It wasn’t until 1956 that we went from unofficially “E pluribus unum” to, officially, “In God We Trust.”

A brief history lesson on “In God We Trust:” It first appeared on U.S. coins in 1864, and has been on paper currency since 1957. It seems to have originated from “The Star-Spangled Banner,” as a line in the fourth stanza of the poem reads “In God is our Trust.”

Obviously, a lot has changed since 1956.

As many in the United States have become more progressive with their thinking, a plethora of religious beliefs is now accepted. From Catholics to atheists, Muslims to Jews, our religions are as diverse as our ethnic makeups, which is why we were quite surprised when self-described evangelical Christian and Allegheny County council member Sue Means (R-Bethel Park) began pushing for a bill that would allow “In God We Trust” to be displayed within Downtown Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County Courthouse.

Thankfully – and perhaps in part to Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald’s promise to veto the bill if it passed – council voted against the proposal.

With religious wars ongoing in the Middle East, we struggle to understand the need to push religion on anyone in a political setting. The discussion and vote were a waste of council’s time and resources.

Church and state need to be kept separate, and while “In God We Trust” is indeed our national motto, it isn’t something that needs to be taken a step further and shoved into the faces of people who don’t necessarily believe in God, or in one particular god.

Far-right leaning members of the Republican party should take this to heart and keep religion out of what they are trying to accomplish politically. It is a distraction, it is unnecessary, and while the separation of church and state isn’t officially in the United States Constitution, it is one of the many things that makes our country great.

Justifying his opposition to KDKA-TV, Fitzgerald, a Catholic, stated, “I understand that other people have different beliefs and we should be tolerant of those beliefs. In fact, not just tolerant, but welcoming.”

We couldn’t agree more.

By a unanimous vote by all nine members of the Peters Township school board Sept. 15, the board authorized the issuance of bond up to $12 million to address maintenance needs in several buildings. While the approval was for $12 million, according to Michael Zubasic, managing director, public finance division at PNC, the amount eventually financed will not exceed $10 million.

The district has been compiling a list of needed projects, including masonry repairs and heating and air conditioning units at McMurray Elementary School, roofing at the high school and other upgrades.

The district agreed to pursue the bond issue because of what was described as “favorable interest rates” and the district’s current high bond rating of AA2. No interest rate on the new bond issue has been determined.

The board unanimously accepted the resignation of assistant superintendent Dr. Patricia

thealmanac.net

Kardambikis effective Oct. 1. Kardambikis will become assistant superintendent in the Slippery Rock School District, which is closer to her family. The board then changed the status of Dr. Jennifer Murphy, who joined the district last year, from assistant to the superintendent for performance management, to fill Kardambikis’ position.

The district is negotiating a new contract with Murphy and no salary has been determined. Murphy’s contract will run from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2017.

In other action, the board: • Asked superintendent Dr. Jeannine French to prepare a proposal on the feasibility of granting athletic coaches extended contracts. Currently, the positions are opened each year with the board making yearly appointments. No date was given for the proposal being submitted to the board. French said she would consult with the solicitor.

• Authorized the administration to consult with HHSDR for an engineering survey of the heating and ventilation system in the district administration office.

Kirven said ALCO Parking has been slow to set up charging stations like the ones on the South Side, but that’s because demand has yet to pick up locally.

The Whitehall resident owns a BMW i3, which also has a reserve gas tank. And like Kirven, Lindich wasn’t thinking about the environment, but that his $47,000 investment was a fun ride.

“This thing is so quiet – like a lawn mower very far way. It looks sharp and has great visibility. To those hesitant about buying electric, I say, ‘jump in, the water’s fine,’ because electric vehicles have some of the highest customer satisfaction ratings compared to gas vehicles,” Lindich said.

“There’s no vibration (in my Volt) because there’s no shifting. It’s a single gear. Even the turn signals emit a pleasant beep instead of an annoying ding,” Kirven said.

Those looking for electric car buying advice can also look for a book by Lindich, which he says will be published on Amazon Kindle and other e-book distributors.

THRIFTY SHOPPERS GAIN SAVINGS, FREEDOM WITH COUPONS David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

Neither Kelly Salvini nor Nicole Gagich consider themselves “extreme couponers,” but the savings they get from proactively seeking out the digital and paper slips make it appear otherwise.

“I used to spend over a thousand dollars on dry food and canned goods to stockpile for winter. Now it’s $80,” Gagich said.

The South Park resident said without the ability to cache so much food at cheaper prices, she wouldn’t be able to stay at home with her two special needs children.

“I teach others how to use coupons effectively. Recently when I met some people at the store using food stamps, I showed them how to get the best out of programs so they wouldn’t worry about bills versus food,” she said.

For Gagich, using such programs means finding manufacturer’s coupons in newspaper inserts and then matching them with online services.

“I use the Cartwheel app for stores like Target, which pairs the store’s coupons. And then there’s SavingStar. For that, you use the paper coupon in the store, then you accrue savings on the app that’s directly deposited in your bank account, or you get prepaid gift cards,” she said.

As for Salvini, the Peters Township mother of two starts with paper inserts and goes from there.

“People look at coupons like we’re buying junky or low-quality stuff to hoard, but it’s just knowing what you normally eat and use and getting the savings you wouldn’t otherwise buying piecemeal.”

Nicole Gagich “I swap coupons with friends, then I get all electronic versions of stores’ coupons before going in, and they usually combine or match them. With that alone, I save about $50 a month,” she said.

For the two women, they stay away from the otherwise popular Groupon service, which features daily deals with national and local retailers.

“Restaurants if anything. I don’t go for the big ticket offers like season passes or dance lessons,” Salvini said While most of the mothers’ savings come from food, Gagich said consumers shouldn’t ignore drug stores.

“They often have their own programs set up, but a lot of the online programs can couple with them. You can get double what you originally would,” she said. “The process for it all can be a little time consuming, but the savings is more than worth it.”

PHOTO COURTESY NICOLE GAGICH

“Total spent: $38.25. Total savings: $80.93.” This Nov. 2013 Facebook photo shows what Gagich got with old-fashioned coupons and phone application services.

Vegetarian and pre-made foods are usually open to discounts, however, meat typically isn’t, the women said.

“People look at coupons like we’re buying junky or low-quality stuff to hoard, but it’s just knowing what you normally eat and use and getting the savings you wouldn’t otherwise buying piecemeal,” Gagich said.

And for those who refuse coupons outright, there may still be savings in store if one is willing to gripe or gush over a product.

“If you write and praise a product, you’ll often get high-value coupons to try their other products for free or very little cash,” she said.

“And sometimes, it works just as well as writing a complaint saying your item was bad.”

GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE WOLF TOURS CANONSBURG M.S.

By Emily Petsko Observer-Reporter epetsko@observer-reporter.com

Canonsburg Middle School students got a dose of excitement the morning of Sept. 15 when they spotted gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf walking down a hallway. While all eyes were on Wolf, his entourage of staffers and a handful of reporters and photographers trailing behind, Wolf set his sights on the school, itself.

Wolf, a businessman from York County, toured the middle school as part of his “Fresh Start” campaign tour as he prepares to face Republican incumbent Tom Corbett in the November general election.

Wolf was particularly interested in the district’s “unique” technology initiatives. The middle school has three technology labs and provides students with an 18-week course in robotics, programming, game design and computer-aided design.

Middle school principal Greg Taranto said administrators were happy to answer Wolf’s questions about the district.

“Anyone who is asking for our input, we welcome them, because that’s something I think has been lost at the local level over the years,” Taranto said, “and so we’re going to welcome anyone, no matter what party they’re a part of.”

Wolf also addressed state funding cuts that had a “severe impact” on schools across Pennsylvania, resulting in furloughs and the loss of educational programs.

thealmanac.net

“We believe that he will bring funding back to public schools, that he’s a firm believer in public schools,” Jones said.

Wolf said he would help restore public education funding through a five-percent severance tax on Marcellus Shale drilling. Some municipalities have expressed concern that a severance tax would eliminate the impact fee that has brought millions of dollars into local budgets, but Wolf said that funding would not be diminished.

“Technically, if you put a severance tax into place, it does take the place of the impact fee, but my goal would be to make sure that, in addition, the payments to the localities that allow drilling would continue,” Wolf said.

Wolf estimated the severance tax would generate more than $1 billion annually by 2015-16. He also said he would free up money for education by expanding Medicaid and closing tax loopholes.

“Alex is a great guy. So polite,” Metheny added.

“He’s always there for you. A confident, poised young man.”

Minton says that’s because he has a strong support system, from his parents, to his siblings, Justin, 25, and sister, Meghan, 20. Plus, his grandparents, Al and Susan Marthinsen, provide guidance.

“They all help keep me confident but grounded,” Minton said. “They are my big fan base and even though my sister is at Ohio University, she always texts me before every game. They are a great source of confidence for me and they remind me to work hard and keep doing the right thing.

That sticks with you.”

Minton stuck with the running pattern that wore, not only him down, but the Panthers as well. In last week’s victory, Minton rushed for a personal-record 205 yards on 40 carries. His previous high was 120 yards against Peters Township last season.

“By far, 205 yards is my high,” he said. “It felt good. Especially doing it in such a big game was awesome.

LEBO BATTLES PENN HILLS FOR TOP SPOT IN CONFERENCE yards, quarterback Levi Metheny threw for 146 yards. He completed nine of 13 passes, two for touchdowns to Charlie Davis in the first half.

Metheny connected with Jake Lewis for the game-winning score, a 14-yard strike, with 52.3 seconds to play. Metheny rushed for the twopoint conversion.

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

The Blue Devils celebrated little their 54-14 victory over Baldwin because coming up this Friday is another important fray. Mt. Lebanon (3-0) travels to Penn Hills (2-1, 2-0) to battle the Indians for first place in the Southeastern Conference. The two teams are tied for the top slot with Woodland Hills, who are 3-0 overall and second-ranked in the WPIAL. “Every week is a key game in this conference,” said Lebo head coach Mike Melnyk. “No matter who you play, a big win one week can turn into a huge disappointment the next. Our preparation is the same for everyone and our focus this week is squarely on Penn Hills.”

The Indians, who are coming off a non-conference loss, 35-14, against Central Valley, the No. 3-ranked team in Class AAA, are led by Te’Shan Campbell with six touchdowns and a near sevenyard average per carry, quarterback Billy Kisner, who is a dual threat to run or pass, and Isaiah Jones, who is averaging 13 yards a carry.

“Penn Hills is physical up front, experienced and fast at the skill positions,” said Melnyk.

In facing Baldwin, Lebo faced its share of skilled players. Doug Altavilla completed 15 of 29 passes for 174. His brother, Nick, hauled in six of those aerials for 103 yards and a 62-yard touchdown.

However, the Blue Devils dispatched the Highlanders because of their ‘relentless, physical’ play. The offensive line of Matt Hoffman, Chris Lippert, Matt Christman, Evan AverbergJohnson and Paul Grattan excelled protecting Eddie Jenkins and carving out holes through which Joey Stabile ran. Stabile rushed for 198 yards and a six-yard TD. “He had a great week in practice and worked on making the right cuts. This week,” Melnyk continued, “Stabile made the right cuts a lot.”

Jenkins made the right reads a lot. The junior signal caller completed 17 of 24 aerials for 239 yards and four TDs. Jenkins also rambled 46 yards for another Lebo score.

Nick Tommasi caught seven passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns of 40 and 27 yards.

Shane Lefever and Alex Englert also caught scoring strikes of 16 and 41 yards.

Rob Costantino converted 32- and 41-yard field goals as well as six extra points. Plus, David Harvey also ran for a two-yard score.

Melnyk said that he was pleased with the Blue Devils’ effort because for the first time this

MINTON FROM PAGE 25 five to six yards a pop, pounding them,” Minton continued of the team’s offensive strategy.

“Coach wanted to run and it worked.”

Because of the men up front, Minton admitted that he succeeded. He doffed his hat to right tackle James Gmiter, a freshman, right guard Marc Dunlap, center Joshua Sosnak, left guard Chris Pauley and left tackle Sean Davis.

“Without the team, without my O-lineman, I am nothing. Nothing happens without them,” Minton explained. “They do all the work and they get no credit. They are great guys. They lead me to and through the holes.”

USC AT NORTH ALLEGHENY

The Panthers look to recover from their 21-14 loss to Bethel Park when they travel to North Allegheny for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff Sept. 19 for a non-conference contest. The Tigers are 1-2 overall after their 28-7 loss to Central Catholic last week.

In the loss to the Hawks, USC overcame a 13-0 halftime deficit and surged ahead, 14-13, with two, third-quarter scores. Gunnar Lund and Marcus Galie rushed for five- and oneyard touchdowns. Max Herold kicked the extra points. For the game, Dan Trocano completed nine passes for 179 yards, his longest completion going for 60 yards to Doug Wagner. On the year, Trocano is 25 of 40 for 462 yards and three scores. Thomas Vissman leads the ground game with 250 yards on 43 carries for a 5.8-yard average.

The offensive line also provided the protection Levi Metheny needed to complete nine of 13 passes for 146 yards and three touchdowns against the Panthers. Metheny hooked up with Charlie Davis for 33- and six-yard scoring strikes that staked BP to a 13-0 halftime lead.

Minton’s fumble recovery on defense set up the second score, which came 11 seconds before intermission. Minton’s play on defense also preserved the victory after Metheny connected with Jake Lewis for the game-winning score, followed by his two-point conversion with 52.3 to play. Minton made two stops on USC’s lastditch drive that ended at the BP 32-yard line.

He and Sean Davis recorded sacks on the final two plays of the game.

The defensive stops took a bit of the sting out of Minton being stopped by the USC defense at

the 1-yard line with under six minutes to play and the Panthers’ clinging to the lead, 14-13.

“The fourth-and-one was disappointing but you have to have a short memory because for me, I have to get back on defense,” Minton said.

“We had to step up on defense or it would be over. We did step up.”

Minton remembers Connor McGinnis, Lewis, Chris Papalia and Davis stepping up to make the stop and forcing the Panthers to punt from their own end zone. “Our defense gave us great field position,” said Minton of BP’s final scoring drive that started at the USC 41. “We had a good opportunity to get the ball in good field position so we did what we were told,” Minton said of not getting too close to Jesse Slinger as to incur a roughing-the-punter penalty.

“Coach talks about being smart. Limit penal-

thealmanac.net

ties. Limit mistakes. That’s why we are so successful. We listen.”

One of Metheny’s philosophies Minton and his teammates have taken to heart is unity. Despite losing Jake Dixon to an elbow injury on the first offensive series and Chiante Pryor to a sprained ankle in the game, BP bonded to beat USC. Evan Yarder stepped up in place of Dixon at tight end while the other receivers picked up the load for Pryor.

“We played for those guys. We wanted to win for them,” Minton said. “Coach always tells us team first. These are your brothers. Play for them. Win for them. It hit home for us. We’ve bought into it and it has drawn us closer. The team chemistry and bonding on this team is great.”

Dave Phillips said. “And with that, your driving behavior should change a bit. It’s going to get darker earlier, and with the animals seasonal behavior, with mating and hunting; coming to the roads for the last green vegetation nearby, you’re going to want to scan the sides of the road more frequently.”

Phillips said deer whistles mounted to cars may be wasted money.

“There is no data anywhere suggesting these things work, that they prevent accidents, or that deer avoid your car or the road if they can hear them. It’s basically a false sense of security.”
