UPMC CHILDREN’S SOUTH READIES FOR SEPT. 29 OPENING

By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

For Misti and Matt Kolovich, it will only take 15 minutes to take their son, Noah, to get emergency and routine medical care.

“Even for some dental work, we’ve had to go Children’s in Pittsburgh. Now we don’t have to do that,” Misti Kolovich said.

The two were among dozens of parents visiting UPMC Children’s South Sept. 20 ahead of the facility’s Sept. 29 opening, which will take on all pediatric care from the former Bethel Park facility. Adult medical services will expand at the former children’s facility, according to UPMC officials. In the interim, Children’s Express care at the Bethel Park facility closes Sept. 28 and will reopen Sept. 29 at the new Children’s Hospital South, UPMC spokesperson Andrea Kunicky said.

For Donna Bono and her two children, ages 5 and 8, the open house visit on Miller’s Run Road was an opportunity to meet the medical staff.

“It’s nice that everything is together. Dermatology, general pediatrics. And we don’t have

to go anywhere else for dental care apparently, either,” Bono, a South Fayette resident, said.

Cecil parents Greg and Lisa Hribik said after a few 50-minute emergency trips to Lawrenceville with daughter Elisabet, time cut down on travel and consolidation of services was also a relief for them.

“She had broken her arm after a tumble. It’s scary, but things will be less scary knowing this is right in our backyard,” Greg said.

“Elisabet has some mild asthma and still needs allergy testing as she turns 4, so this is

great to know we can come here for practically everything,” Lisa said.

Joe Loughner knows firsthand the care his 2-year-old son, Leo, will be getting. His wife is a therapist at Children’s South. “This is state-ofthe-art care. The building itself is friendly and inviting, and everything you’d want or need is on one of the three floors,” Loughner said.

Among new and improved services at the $24 million Children’s Hospital South are physical therapy, speech and hearing therapy, radiology and dental care.

If awarded, the township plans on using the funds to construct a new amphitheater in Peterswood Park. The construction estimate is $804,000, an amount councilman David Ball called an outrage. No final decision has been made.

ENVIRONMENTALISTS NEED TO END HYPOCRISY

By Drew Johnson America’s largest environmental group just admitted to earning millions of dollars each year from oil.

The Nature Conservancy routinely guilt trips Americans about using fossil fuels. Yet, its Texas prairie preserve is home to an oil well. And it has almost $23 million invested in the energy industry.

This revelation is an example of a real “inconvenient truth” sweeping through environmental outfits. Many of the green groups that attack fossil fuels secretly benefit from oil and gas. These activists aren’t as green as they pretend to be – or as they expect others to be.

The Sierra Club, for example, demands that universities divest from fossil fuels. Yet, according to an audit by the accounting firm Grant Thornton, the Club’s pension invests in index funds that include a number of oil and gas companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron.

The National Resources Defense Council loudly opposes “dirty fuels.” Yet, the group sees no reason to pull fossil fuel companies from its portfolio. Despite calling on the United States

thealmanac.net

to stop using fossil fuels completely by 2050, the World Wildlife Fund has apparently not yet stopped earning money off of investments in oil and natural gas. When asked by The Nation whether the organization applies environmental screens to any of its $75 million in investments in publicly traded securities, the World Wildlife Fund refused to answer.

Then, there’s the Ocean Conservancy, which preaches against Arctic drilling and blames fossil fuels for ocean acidification. The Conservancy’s investment portfolio has stakes in “energy” and “utilities.” In other words, the group privately profits from the activities it publicly condemns.

This hypocrisy would be amusing if the madness spewing from these groups weren’t so damaging. Their rhetoric informs public perceptions and translates into concrete public policy, which undermines job creation and economic growth.

The oil and natural gas industry is a major contributor to the U.S. economy, generating roughly $240 billion in economic activity every year. In North Dakota alone, state GDP grew by nearly 10 percent from 2012 to 2013, thanks

largely to development of the Bakken Shale.

Oil and gas is also a major job creator. The industry directly supports over nine million jobs – and most of these positions pay handsomely.

For instance, well workers typically earn close to $100,000 annually, even though the position typically doesn’t require a college degree.

Left unencumbered, domestic energy operations are expected to get even bigger in coming years. By 2035, shale development alone could boost GDP by $70 billion a year and grow to support as many as 1.6 million jobs.

The economic power of the energy industry is so great that even green activist groups want a piece. Despite their public criticisms of oil and gas development, they’re more than happy to share in its bounty in private.

Their hypocrisy needs to cease. Environmentalists need to quit their baseless condemnations of American energy.

The week of Sept. 21-27 is Banned Books Week. An initiative sponsored by the American Library Association, National Council of Teachers of English, the Freedom to Read Foundation and the Association of American Publishers, among others, Banned Books Week, at its very core, celebrates the freedom to read. It began in 1982 as a response to the sudden increase in challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries.

According to the American Library Association, more than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982. Among the most challenged titles in 2013 are “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”

Imagine if all of those who see these movies read the book first. According to Reading is Fundamental, 33 percent of fourth-grade students in public schools are at or below the “basic” level on the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress reading tests.

Fifty-three percent of fourth-graders read for fun almost every day, and only 20 percent of eighth-graders reported doing the same.

Why deny a child – or anyone for that matter – the chance to read something if they are interested? We aren’t suggesting that English teachers adopt “Fifty Shades of Grey” into their curriculum, but we would never think of advocating it to be pulled from bookshelves.

Some American classics that were banned from different schools and libraries include “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck, “Moby Dick” by Herman Melville, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee and even “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak.

upper st. clair POLICE: THREAT NOT LEGITIMATE

USC STUDENT IN TOP 10 FOR U.S. SCIENCE EVENT

Police were notified when anonymous emails were sent to board members of various Upper St. Clair High School athletic groups the night of Sept. 18, said township police Chief Douglas Burkholder.

After discussions with representatives from the school district, Burkholder said police determined the threatening message was not legitimate. He did not elaborate on what the threat entailed.

The school district notified high school parents by telephone.

“Last night (Sept. 18), we were made aware of an email threat involving Upper St. Clair High School,” said district superintendent Patrick O’Toole. “We have been working closely with USC township police as they investigate this matter, and there is no evidence to suggest there is any danger to students or staff.”

Before classes Sept. 19, police officers were at the high school checking backpacks and other items. Nothing unusual was found, Burkholder said.

“As a precaution, (Sept. 19) we instituted a screening of all students and visitors entering the high school,” O’Toole said. “We will continue to work with police in their investigation and ask that anyone with information related to this matter contact USC township police at 412-833-7500.”

Police are continuing their investigation.

Sahill Doshi is one of 10 students across America with an invention so impressive, he’s been selected to compete in the finals of Discovery Education’s Young Scientist Challenge.

The 14-year-old Doshi has been working on PolluCell, a battery made out of waste materials that uses carbon dioxide as energy.

“I had the idea (about a year ago) as I was thinking about all the big problems we face in our society, and the ones that impact the most people. And the ones I kept coming back to were pollution and lack of electricity,” Doshi said.

The Upper St. Clair student combined the two problems into one practical solution: use waste materials, like guitar strings and aluminum cans as electrical conductors, and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as the power source for a “zero impact” battery. Though, for his demonstration he’ll present to judges in St. Paul Minnesota Oct. 12-14, he’ll use carbonic acid as the fuel, which is carbon dioxide in water, then combined with sodium chloride.

“The prototype I have now produces two volts, which can power a small L.E.D. light for about one and a half hours. So, I’m working on increasing the voltage and one day, you might be able to power your cell phone with this type of technology.”

“I want to improve our energy storage devices. I want to revolutionize the way we acquire and store energy.”

School Performance Profile scores. The grant award for Upper St. Clair was $75,000, which the board will use to help identify and bolster successful programs, then select a neighboring “mentee” school to share strategies and methods to increase test scores.

“One of the things that’s been working at the high school for the past two years has been the interactive electronic enrollment that added teacher videos that described the course indepth so students could properly match themselves to a course,” said assistant superintendent Dr. Sharon Suritsky.

South Fayette and Peters Township were the other two school districts out of a total of 17 statewide that were awarded grants.

NATIONAL INITIATIVE HELPS TO KEEP DRUGS OFF OF THE STREETS

By Terri Johnson Staff writer tjohnson@thealmanac.net

Since National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day falls on the same weekend as the annual Fall Festival in Cecil Township, Chief Shawn Bukovinsky decided to hold the collection at the festival in Cecil Park along Route 50.

During take-back days, unwanted, expired and unused prescription medications and overthe-counter items are collected then safety and legally disposed of by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. This year, the collection nationwide, including locally, will be from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 27.

Those using the collection sites are asked to place pills or tablets in a plastic bag without the containers if possible, and medications may be mixed in the same bag.

Most sites accept liquids, like cough syrup, but not all do, so ask. Names and prescription numbers may be blacked out. Medicinal salves and ointments are also accepted, but generally not cosmetic items like shampoo or makeup.

However, absolutely no needles, including insulin syringes or EpiPens used for the treat-

ment of anaphylaxis, will be accepted. Prescription pain killers and other controlled medication may be dropped off as an officer will be present.

Flushing unwanted medication down the toilet is not recommended as the drugs enter the water supply. Tossing items in the garbage is not recommended as there is the potential for the medications to end up in the wrong hands.

Collections are free and anonymous.

The collection box during the festival in Cecil will be located at the concession stand in the park near the tennis court and the main stage, Bukovinsky said.

In addition to the collection box at the festival, there is a permanent drop box in the entrance of the police station at 3599 Millers Run Road next to the park. The box is available for drops during regular business hours Monday through Friday.

In Upper St. Clair, there will be a uniformed officer in the lobby of the police station, 1820 McLaughlin Run Road, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Sept. 27, said Chief Douglas Burkholder.

Mt. Lebanon police will be on hand during the same time for collections at Medical Rescue Team South, 315 Cypress Way, according to Deputy Chief Aaron Lauth. Castle Shannon police Chief Kenneth Truver said borough

residents are encouraged to drop off unwanted or expired medications at the Medical Rescue Team South location in Mt. Lebanon. The site will operate as a drive-through. Liquids will be accepted if in the original bottle. Like in Cecil, there is a permanent drop box in the basement lobby of the Pubic Safety Building, 555 Washington Road, Lauth said. The box is available for drops 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

There will be four collection sites in Peters Township, according to police Chief Harry Fruecht. A drive-through collection will be held at Wright’s United Methodist Church, 788 Venetia Road, Venetia; and regular collections at Heisler’s Market, 601 E. McMurray Road, McMurray; Giant Eagle, 4007 Washington Road, McMurray; and Giant Eagle Market District Express, 2840 Washington Road, McMurray.

There will be a uniformed officer at all locations and everything will be collected with the exception of needles, Fruecht said.

In addition, there is a permanent, secure drop box in the lobby of the police station, 200 Municipal Drive, McMurray, that is available during regular business hours.

Bethel Park police Chief John Mackey said collections will be held in two locations; at the Bethel

Park Community Center, 5151 Park Ave., and at Highmark Direct, 1775 N. Highland Road, in the Norman Centre. Uniformed officers will be at both locations. In addition, there is a permanent drop-off box in the lobby of the police department at 5100 W. Library Road, that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Mackey said.

Canonsburg residents may drop off medication at the Shop ‘n Save, 617 W. Pike St., where there will be a uniformed officer in the front entrance. In addition, there is a permanent secure drop box in the basement lobby of the police station in the borough building, 68 E. Pike St. The box is available for disposals during regular business hours.

Collection is open at any location for everyone, regardless of residency.

Prescription drug abuse is growing.

“There is information out there that prescription drug abuse is on the rise because they are so easy to come by,” Fruecht said. “It’s easy to raid a medicine cabinet.”

Once the collection ends at 2 p.m. Sept. 27, at least in Washington County, the unwanted or expired medications are taken to the Peters Township police department where the items are collected by DEA agents for proper disposal.

Are you retiring and eligible for a “Lump Sum” payment from your employer?

Present IRS regulations require 20% withholding if you receive such a payment. A “Rollover” will eliminate that event. You will have to make some important decisions regarding your financial future. Why do it alone? You only retire once; make sure you do it right!

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.

BETHEL PARK SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY ALLOW ADS ON ITS WEBSITE

By Susan Schmeichel For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Bethel Park School District officials are contemplating joining a growing number of school districts that allow businesses to advertise on their district websites.

School board members are expected to ap-

prove a proposal from EDGEclick Network at a meeting scheduled for Sept. 23.

According to the company website, EDGEclick already has contracts with more than two dozen districts throughout the state. Ads generally run as banners or side bars on the districts’ homepages.

Vicki Flotta, district director of public relations, said the company will provide and place the advertisements on the website. The district

will be paid an amount based upon the number of views the ads receive. That could be between $15,000 to $20,000 a year.

The profits would go towards the district’s communications budget for items such as printing and paper.

“I don’t want any cheesy banners or sides,” said board member Dr. Tim Campbell.

Flotta assured board members that the ads are generally for nationally-known companies,

such as Geico Insurance. The district would have the right to approve or reject any ad, she said.

EDGEclick’s website promotes its services to businesses by assuring potential customers that the target audience will be the parents of school-age children and therefore likely consumers of the products and services they are selling.

MT. LEBANON OFFICIALS WAVER ON PAY-PER-THROW TRASH CONCEPT

By Nick Lewandowski For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Mt. Lebanon commissioners questioned the viability of a pay-as-you-throw trash collection system at the Sept. 22 meeting. Doubt follows on the heels of a report from a seven-member panel assigned to research the issue, which concluded

Congratulates

DAVID KOENIG of the Five Star Wealth Manager Award featured in the July issue of Pittsburgh Magazine The Five Star Wealth Manager award program is the largest and most widely published award program in the financial services industry. The award is based on a rigorous, multifaceted research methodology which incorporates input from peers and firm leaders along with client retention rates, industry experience and a thorough regulatory history review

that overall cost savings under such a plan could be minimal.

“We don’t necessarily expect the financial windfall we expected six months ago,” finance director Andrew McCreery said. “Now, it’s more of a focus on the behavioral end. That’s really where the report came to.”

The municipality originally began studying pay-as-you-throw as a means of reducing solid waste collection costs by providing a financial

incentive to recycle. However, the panel found Mt. Lebanon’s current waste collection contract is not optimized for a pay-as-you-throw system, which would cut into savings.

Commissioner Dave Brumfield felt the next step should be to obtain feedback from the community at large. “Part of the question is whether people want us to use this stick approach, rather than a carrot approach, to change their behavior,” he said.

John Bendel questioned that course, however.

“Why bother to educate people on the program now if we’re not going to roll it out until the next contract?”

He said a public forum on the issue now would lead to “buzz” and controversy. “It would become a ‘for’ or ‘against’ type of meeting,” he said.

“Why put the community through that now?”

‘SR. GERTRUDE’S GUIDE TO HEAVEN’ Producers Jude & Shirley Pohl bring back by popular demand their latest show, “Sr. Gertrude’s Guide to Heaven…Avoiding Excommunication at All Costs,” for one show only, Sept. 26 at the Crowne Plaza Cabaret Dinner Theatre, Bethel Park.

Written and directed by Jude Pohl, the show stars Nancy Shawgo as Sr. Gertrude (pictured) as she covers the topics of mortal and venial sin including sins against the sixth and ninth commandments, purgatory, limbo and, of course, pagan babies.

Emily Shawgo and Mike Flaherty also star. The performance is at 8 p.m. and will be preceded by a buffet-style church dinner at 6:30. Price of the dinner theatre package is $40 (includes tax and tip).

The aim of the “War on Women” art exhibit is to have women and men artistically interpret this war through their work – showcasing through art the effects the war has on women and their families, what it means for the future of women’s health care, and the emotional toll these battles have on our entire society.

USC STANDOUT CHARLOTTE MADSON LOVES TENNIS, PAGE 27

A POOL OF MEMORIES USC TENNIS PLAYERS REMINISCE DURING REUNION

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Homecoming arrived early at Upper St. Clair as alumni of the high school boys’ tennis team returned for a day of competition and fun with former head coach Richard Saccani. Many of the players arrived from out-of-state. Some traveled from as far away as Texas, Florida, Boston and Chicago to participate in activities filled with nostalgic moments.

“It was a remarkable day for me. Awesome,” said Saccani, who never had a family aside from the one he cultivated while at USC. From 1967 through 2001, Saccani taught math classes at Upper St. Clair High School. From 1968 through 1991, he served as varsity tennis coach.

During his tenure, the Panthers captured six WPIAL team championships, the first coming in 1971. The Panthers also won titles in 1975, 1982, 1984, 1987 and 1990 under Saccani. The school has captured eight additional district titles from 1995-2007.

“It was never about me,” Saccani said. “It was about my players and the whole team. I’ve been blessed to know such good people, who have provided me with some wonderful memories. I thank God that he let me have the experience of letting these guys into my life. I love them and always will. I’d do anything for them.”

During their years at USC, the players did anything for their coach. Some of them won a lot.

Saccani coached several state and district champions. After winning back-to-back WPIAL titles, Martin Sieckmann earned the state crown in 1982. WPIAL doubles champions at USC under Saccani included: Chip Kalberkamp and Dave King in 1975, Bill Kopp and Chris Brown in 1986 as well as Dan Cooper and Nimit Bansal in 1986. After yielding to Oren Eschenasy and Mike McCormick in the 1986 state championship, Cooper and Bansal combined for the PIAA doubles title in 1987. Saccani also coached a pair of mixed doubles champions.

Chip Chomyn and Lisa Warren won the 1986 WPIAL title and Scott Freund combined with Jenny Yago for the banner in 1986.

“It wasn’t how many wins and losses he accomplished,” said David Wolfe of Coach Saccani. “What mattered to him was our character.

He wanted us to be successful in life and the fact that many of his players are now successful fathers, employees and upstanding citizens speaks volumes of him. He taught us pride in ourselves, play for school and community and not to let our teammates and team down and to

MT. LEBANON HOSTS PETERS TOWNSHIP IN KEY CLASH

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

After a breather away from conference action and after a disappointing defeat, Peters Township and Mt. Lebanon get back to business in WPIAL Quad-A football. The Indians (2-2, 1-2) visit the Blue Devils (3-1, 2-1) Sept. 26 for a 7:30 p.m. kick-off in a key Southeastern Conference clash.

“There are no weeks off in this conference,” said Peters skipper Rich Piccinini. “Every game in this conference means something. Every game can decide the conference championship.

Every game has playoff implications.”

For now, Lebo’s 41-21 loss to Penn Hills took the Blue Devils out of the running for first place in the league as Woodland Hills remains undefeated at 4-0. Though 3-1 overall, Penn Hills is also unbeaten in the conference.

Of the Penn Hills outcome, Piccinini said, “it’s not indicative of the team Lebo is. Penn Hills is explosive. A fast-striking, big-play team,” he added. “They score at will.”

Against Lebo, Penn Hills did exactly that.

Henton Mathis, Billy Kisner and Te-shan Campbell rushed for scores measuring 60 yards or more. The Indians added two field goals, another rushing score and a touchdown on a fumble recovery. Campbell and Mathis rushed for 165 and 132 yards respectively.

Lebo, however, operated offensively as it has all season. In the first half alone, the Blue Devils ran 46 plays. However, they were held 28 points below their average.

Pointing out the positives in the loss, Mike Melnyk said, “The offense moved the ball but

Eddie Jenkins has been elusive for Mt. Lebanon this season. He is a threat to run or pass and has helped the Blue Devils to a 3-1 record. Lebo hosts Peters Township in a key Southeastern Conference clash at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 26. we hurt ourselves. We settled down defensively in the second half,” he noted.

Eddie Jenkins completed 14 of 21 passes for 142 yards while Nick Tommasi hauled in nine of those aerials for 92 yards. Jenkins rushed for two scores and connected with Tommasi for the other, a 14-yard strike.

Jenkins has been a lethal weapon for opponents. The junior, who has the ability to run, ranks among the WPIAL passing leaders. He has completed 42 of 65 aerials for 532 yards and nine scores this fall. Tommasi is the top target. Plus, Joey Stabile ranks among the dis-

trict’s top rushers.

“Lebo plays a wide-open, fast-paced offense,” said Piccinini. “We need a great effort defensively, an effort that can slow them down. We need to play our assignments and do our jobs.”

One way for Peters to thwart the Blue Devils is to continue running its offense. Cory Owen does just that for the Indians. He had 250 yards of total offense in the win against New Castle, 30-14. He completed nine passes for 126 yards and a 20-yard scoring strike to Tim Swoope. TJ Kpan scored twice on 10 and two-yard runs and Nick Gaudy tacked on a 20-yard field goal to

complete the scoring.

Owen is a primary concern for the Blue Devils. Last year, he ran for over 300 yards against Lebo. “A human highlight reel,” Melnyk dubbed the performance. “Obviously, we need to contain him.”

Consistently this season, Owen has rushed for 100 yards and passed for that distance as well. “That’s what he does,” Piccinini said. “He’s a super athlete. He makes the right decisions.

He makes the right plays. If he continues to help us move the ball it helps [against Lebo]. It never hurts to keep the [other team’s] offense off the field. We use a mix of passes and runs.”

Swoope leads the aerial attack. He ranks among the top receivers in the WPIAL, averaging nearly 20 yards a catch. “Tim’s been having an excellent year for us,” explained Piccinini.

Since starting the season with conference losses to Woodland Hills and Upper St. Clair, the Indians have shown marked improvement.

Christian Phelps and Mike Fortunato have anchored the offensive line. They are leading by example, says Piccinini. Plus, the defense has improved as demonstrated against New Castle.

In the win over the Hurricanes, Ethan Anderson had an interception and Jake Uhler forced turnovers and made several tackles for losses.

“He played well on defense,” Piccinini noted.

“Overall our continuity on offense and defense has gotten better and we’ve been able to force turnovers rather than make them. That was a key against New Castle and will be against Lebo,” Piccinini predicted. “If we execute our game plan, then we’ll do okay,” he assured.

Meanwhile, Melnyk believes his Blue Devils will be okay if they learn from their loss against SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 25

While Kelsey Potts won the race in 19:24, the trio of harriers helped Lebo to a 2629 victory over the Hawks by finishing fourth, fifth and sixth. Frankie Kavalir also scored for the Blue Devils enabling the victory. Overall, Hinish and Coffield finished second and third while Conway and Macowski placed seventh and eighth. Amy Bogan was BP’s fifth finisher.

Despite graduating four seniors from multiple championship squads and losing long-time head coach Ron Schreiner to retirement, the Mt. Lebanon girls’ cross country team continues to set the pace in the WPIAL as well as the state.

Gone off to Penn State is Jillian Hunsberger, who finished fourth in the WPIAL and seventh in the PIAA last year. Audrey Gordon, who was 10th in the district and top 30 in the state, is a freshman at William and Mary. Graduated too are Callie Gunzenhauser and Julia Staltari.

And, at the helm now is Oscar Shutt. He served as an assistant to Schreiner and men’s head coach Mike Agostinella for eight years before being appointed to fill the vacancy at the top in the girls’ program. Joshua Bilak assists Shutt this season.

So far, however, the Lebo ladies have not missed a beat. They won invitational meets at California University of Pennsylvania and Slippery Rock as well as the Red, White & Blue Classic. After edging Bethel Park, 26-29, in a

tri-meet, that also included Peters Township to open section action, the Blue Devils traveled to Hershey to compete in the PIAA Foundation Meet this past weekend. Lebo took third overall with 143 points behind champion Cardinal O’Hara (83) and Central Bucks West (136).

“I’m happy with the experience we collected racing in Hershey, especially for the four girls between the varsity and JV races who had never raced there before,” said Shutt. “Of the six girls in the varsity race who had previously raced on the Parkview course, five either equaled or bettered their best time there. All of the girls gave a great effort in Hershey.”

Kelsey Potts secured second place overall.

The junior clocked in at 18:57, 39 seconds off the pace set by Madeleine Davison of North Allegheny. Davison also won the RWB Classic. Claire Dougherty, Sadie Saxton and Gracie Tandon followed Potts in the Top 30 while Rony Vigrass, Ellie Meinzer and Frankie Kavalir placed in the Top 90.

Because of graduation, Shutt said Lebo had to replace a lot of experience and talent, but having Potts at or near the top and having a small gap between runners 2-5 may enable the SEE LEBO PAGE 26

RUNNING WITH THE BEST PART OF THE PROGRESSION FOR BP

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Other than its 26-29 loss to Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park has dominated the girls’ cross-country scene. The Lady Hawks began the season winning the Gateway Invitational then finished fourth in the Red, White and Blue Classic.

Bethel Park prepared for a key section meet this week against South Fayette, which won last year’s Class AA title, and rival Upper St. Clair.

The meet will be hosted by the Lady Lions.

So far the Lady Hawks’ start bodes well for a strong finish. They hope to challenge in the WPIAL championships set for Oct. 23 at Coopers Lake in Slippery Rock.

“Our goals are to continue to train hard and keep improving,” said Scott Steranko, who is in his fifth season as head coach. “If we continue to do well, we’ll be ready for WPIALs. From there, we’ll see what happens. There are a lot of good programs.”

Mt. Lebanon’s is one of the best. The girls are two-time defending WPIAL champions and two-time top three finishers in the state. In addition, North Allegheny, Seneca Valley, Butler, North Hills, Shaler and South Fayette have strong programs, says Steranko.

However, only the top three teams out of District VII and the top 15 individuals advance to the PIAA championships set for Nov. 1.

“Since they changed [formats], it’s made for a challenge,” Steranko said. “But, we are up for the challenge.”

The Lady Hawks certainly were up for the challenge against Lebo. While Kelsey Potts won the race in 19:24, fellow juniors Dani Hinish and Karissa Coffield secured second and third places overall for BP. Courtney Conway and Claire Macowski finished seventh and eighth while Amy Bogan took 10th overall.

“Absolutely pleased,” said Steranko of BP’s showing. “It was a great performance.

“Lebo has a great program and we have a great deal of respect for them. They are ranked first in the state,” he added. “We showed we could run with them. For us to be competitive with them says a lot.”

BP’s win at Gateway at the start of the season said a lot. In winning the invitational, the Lady Hawks placed three girls in the top 10. Coffield placed sixth. Hinish was seventh. Conway copped ninth.

“Our goal was to win,” said Steranko, who has been coaching with BP’s track program for 10 years since retiring from the football staff.

“We have met our goals so far this season.”

ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

Dani Hinish and Karissa Coffield finished 2-3 for Bethel Park during a meet against Mt. Lebanon and Peters Township. Lebo beat the Lady Hawks by a slim margin, 26-29.

Even the junior varsity is achieving its goals and winning. The squad took first at Gateway, too. Megan McClary, Maria Catozzi, Meg Fedkoe, Bridget Heh, a 10th grader, who often runs varsity, and freshman Haley Radcliff all finished in the top 12 and earned medals for the Hawks.

For BP, seniors Katelyn Hancock, Bogan and Conway serve as captains. “Senior leadership is why we have been so successful,” Steranko said.

“It’s a great class. They are highly motivated.”

The Lady Hawks will be equally charged up for their meet against South Fayette and Canon-Mac. “They both have good programs. All the teams in our section have great coaches and great programs,” Steranko said.

“But, I’m excited for this group. I have been waiting for them for four years. They are motivated, hard-working girls and they get along great. They remind me of some of the great athletes we have had here at Bethel in the past.”

LEBO FROM PAGE 24 Blue Devils to be in the hunt for another district title. Lebo is the two-time defending WPIAL Class AAA champion. The Blue Devils are ranked No. 3 in the state according to pollsters at PennTrackXC. “Our goal is to be a strong, close team and to push each other to be their best every day in practice and in competitions,” Shutt said.

“Our goal is to put ourselves in a position to try to win our third consecutive WPIAL title and then see how our efforts place us at the state level.”

While the RWB meet pushed the Lebo ladies to the limit, as they received stiff competition from Villa Maria Academy, North Allegheny and Seneca Valley, Bethel Park provided the spark in section before the Foundation Meet.

“We knew going in that Bethel Park was going to be our toughest competition in section, especially on their home course. They gave an amazing effort and pushed us to our limits. I would not be surprised if they did not finish in the top three at the WPIAL meet and qualify for the state meet,” Shutt said.

Potts won the meet against BP followed by Dougherty, Tandon and Saxton in fourth, fifth and sixth position. Kavalir came up big for the Blue Devils. “The trio of Dougherty, Tandon and Saxton won the meet for us. BP’s fourth and fifth runners tried to stay with them early but were not able to keep up that pace,” Shutt explained. “Also, Frankie came up strong. She came in right behind BP’s fifth runner and was not displaced by their sixth and seventh girls.

“Of course,” Shutt added, “it’s so valuable having someone like Kelsey on the team to give you a one in your score.”

Potts, who finished third in the WPIAL and fourth in the state last fall, set the course record at Cal. U this fall, winning the meet in 19:04.

She finished second to Davison in the RWB Classic. At Slippery Rock, she won by 54 seconds with a personal-best time of 18:23 at Cooper’s Lake.

“Our scoring five have been consistent with Kelsey being our top runner,” said Shutt. He added Dougherty, Saxton and Tandon, all juniors, along with Vigrass, a freshman, are forming a good pack. The gap between them at Slippery Roack was 28 seconds. “Behind those five, we have a strong group to round out our varsity,” he said.

While the order has been varied, the group includes: Meinzer, Azaria Kobik and Nichole Dahlen, all seniors; juniors Kavalir and Emma Furry; sophomore Amy Sullivan and freshmen Moira Anderson, Paulina Braverman and Cora Broadhurst. “I could see anybody from this group being our No. 6 and No. 7 runners as we approach WPIALs in October,” Shutt said.

USC’S MADSON LOVES TENNIS

Fully Insured All Types of Major Home Improvements Free Design with Each Contract

Before

Saddled with the sniffles, Charlotte Madson had the perfect excuse for her loss in the WPIAL Class AAA girls’ tennis championship. In a show of sportsmanship, the Upper St. Clair junior, however, applauded her rival.

“Sadly not,” Madson said of blaming her cold on her performance, which resulted in a 6-3, 7-5 loss to Ananya Dua. Madson then doffed her cap to the Shady Side Academy singles’ player.

“Ananya played well and I made too many errors,” Madson admitted. “She had a lot of great shots for winners. As most tennis matches do, it came down to who made the most errors.”

Yet, Madson demonstrated grit in the finals, played on Dua’s home courts at Shady Side Academy. She opened up a 3-2 advantage but dropped the next four games to lose the first set, 6-3. In the second set, Madson staved off match point in the ninth game and eventually knotted the score, 5-5, before falling.

“I was proud that I was able to hold out there,” said the 16-year-old junior. “That was my competitiveness coming out.”

Since age 6, Madson has competed in tennis.

In addition to playing at the middle and high school levels, she trains at the USC tennis center under Chris Kennedy. Ranked No. 9 in the state in her age group, Madson has met Dua in previous USTA tournaments. Although she has never beaten Dua, Madson says she’s getting closer. “This is the best I’ve ever done against her so far.”

Madson’s best assets, she says, are her ability to play defensively and hit winners. “I play good defense and I hit winners when I need to,” she said of her strengths. “And, I play point by point.”

That strategy paid dividends early in the tournament as Madson beat Jenna Bailey of Franklin Regional and Lucy Gloninger from Hampton in 10-point pro sets to reach the Final Four. In the semifinals, Madson outlasted Laurel Shymansky of Fox Chapel, 0-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Age: 16 No. 9 in state in age group.

In addition to district and state championships, Madson also explained that her ultimate Parents: Erin and Mark Activities: National Honor goal is to play tennis in college. “Hopefully at Society, Kids Helping Kids, Siblings: Alyza, Mac, Jane the Division I level,” she said as she majors in Mentor. and Gigi English, academically.

community news OLSAKVOSKY, WALLER, WALZ LEAD GOLF QUALIFIERS

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Louie Olsakvosky of Upper St. Clair, Lauren Waller from Canon-McMillan and Joey Walz of Seton-La Salle earned medalist honors and led a host of area golfers qualifying in the WPIAL individual tournament.

The WPIAL Class AAA semifinals for boys will be held at one of three courses: Club at Shadow Lakes, Champion Lakes Golf Course or River Forest Country Club. The individual finals will be Oct. 2 at Latrobe Country Club. Top WPIAL finishers advance to the western regional set for Oct. 14 at Tom’s Run Golf Course and the PIAA championships will be held Oct. 20-21.

During the Section 7-AAA boys’ championships held at the Lone Pine Country Club, Olsakovsky fired a 70 to lead all qualifiers. Olsakovsky’s teammates: Austin Cassidy (74), and Zach Barone (75) joined him in the semifinals.

During the Section 4-AAA girls’ championships played at Pheasant Ridge Golf Course, Waller led all finishers with a 70. Walz shot an 80 and tied Neshannock’s Marrissa Kirkwood for the top spot during the Section 2-AA tournament played at Seven Oaks Country Club.

Both Waller and Walz were top three medalists at the PIAA championships last season.

The Peters Township boys advanced all six participants in the sectional. Alec Stopperich and Conner Schmidt both fired 71s to follow in second place behind Olsakovsky. Ben Morgret carded a 73. Tanner Johnson (77), Jake Sollon (78) and Hunter Bruce (81) followed for the Indians.

Among the other top performers in the sectional from Chartiers Valley included: Drew Harris (75), Gino Dipardo (78), Connor Wasson (78), Cole Wasson (79) and Zack Pilisoph (81).

Justin Hyrb of Bethel Park finished fifth in the Section 6-AAA tournament played at the Valley Brook Country Club. He met the target score of 80 and qualified for the WPIAL semifinals.

AA BOYS

Three Peters Township girls joined their six male counterparts, setting a school record for golfers advancing out of sectional play.

At Three Lakes Golf Course, Synclaire Kuhn (80), Mia Kness (81) and Brooke Hilden (84) advanced to the WPIAL finals, which are set for Sept. 29. USC advanced two golfers: Bella Patrone and Elizabeth Engel.

The top seven finishers in Class AAA and top eight from AA advance to the PIAA western regional set for Oct. 14 at Tom’s Run Golf Course.

The top finishers advance to the PIAA championships set for Oct. 20-21.

Sam Smallhover won the Section 4 title. The Bishop Canevin junior shot a 2-over-par 70 at Chippewa Golf Course to earn medalist honors.

In other golf AA team news, Alec Lacinski fired a 38 to lead South Fayette to victory over Seton-La Salle, 208-212. The Lions are 9-0 this season.

they were still building the courts. “We had nowhere to go. The baseball team had the gym. We needed somewhere to train,” Saccani said.

Train, the Panthers did.

“We would run for an hour,” said Bruce Edwards, who graduated in 1968.

While Eschenasy swore the time increased to two hours and 30 minutes by the mid-1980s, a player nicknamed “The Hawk” holds the record. Because the chemical fumes affected his asthma, The Hawk ran on the second floor of the high school. When the team finished its paces in the pool, somebody would always summon The Hawk to rejoin the group. “Well,” admitted Saccani, “one day, I forgot.” The Charleroi resident remembered while driving home. Approaching Mononghahela, he turned around and rushed back to school. He found the janitor, who had the keys to the school. When they reached the second floor, they found The Hawk still jogging.

“It was all about conditioning,” said Edwards.

“His work ethic is what you remember most about Coach Saccani. That and tradition and remembering who came before you.”

As the players ran, Saccani would call out names of past players. ‘This is for so-and-so,’ he’d say. ‘This is for the 1970 team.’ The players ran a lap for every school in the WPIAL. “We never realized how many schools there were,” said Bansal.

“We had to memorize the alumni from 1968 to the year that we were in. The win/loss records.”

There was a method to Saccani’s madness. He wanted to prove to his players that they could go beyond what they possibly thought they could.

If they could get through that wall, if they could keep pushing and break through, then they could get through anything.

Sieckmann said it worked. “We would never lose because we were out of condition,” said Sieckmann, who works for the largest nonprofit hospital in Texas. “Plus, if we could do this [the pool steps], we could do anything.”
