Upper St. Clair’s annual Community Day featured a parade, vendors and kid’s activities, and an open house at the Gilfillan Farm. A downpour did nothing to dampen the day – in fact, it added to it for Niko Mazreku, 3, as he jumped in puddles after the storm. To read more about the Gilfillan Farm open house, turn to page 6.

Mt. Lebanon commissioners may put it to voters in November whether commissioners should be able to pass measures related to debt with three commissioners’ votes counting as a majority instead of four. Also mentioned at the May 12 discussion meeting was a potential change in the mandatory schedule to advertise measures to incur debt from two separate notices over 15-30 days to once in 30 days. The proposed changes come from a December 2013 “Ad Hoc Home Rule Charter Study Committee” report, which explains the two measures would jointly allow better positioning to act on favorable market conditions to refinance and borrow bonds. No action was taken on either proposal. In other business at the regular meeting, commissioners approved amending the fire code to mandate carbon monoxide alarms be placed in residences that have fossil-fuel burning heaters or appliances. Commissioners also introduced but did not vote on a bill to amend the volunteer fire company’s by-laws that would allow six former members to forego some residency requirements. The bill says the six candidates meet new criteria that includes having been regular members for two years; have obtained firefighter certifications; and live within 12 miles of the public safety building.

Board OKs budget, teachers’ contract By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

The Mt. Lebanon School Board approved both a $92 million budget that raises millage by .40 and a new teachers’ contract running through June 2018. The 2015 millage rate of 23.55 will increase property taxes on homes valued at $100,000 by $40. The new collective bargaining agreement sees additional healthcare contributions from teachers and incremental pay increases for them, while affording extra annual raises of $400, $700 and $900 for teachers in the highest seniority tier. The agreement sees the district taking on an additional 3.17 percent in costs. In other business, the board set a special meeting for May 29 at 7:30 a.m. to review bids for a security vestibule at Jefferson Middle School. The board also recognized a group of retiring teachers, faculty and staff. They were Steve Scheurer, Judith Wolfe, Roberta Biseda, Jan Ban, Jan Barson, Carol Berklich, Patricia McAuley, Ann Platt, Joan Zacharias, Cecelia Toohey, Russell Jones, Linda Peck and Janet Ruprecht.

Teens on board to help Canonsburg Lake By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

The day could not have been nicer. The temperature was warm, the sun was shining – and there were even ducks on the lake. It was a perfect day to take a trip to Canonsburg Lake. And that is what about 30 students from Peters Township High School and Canon McMillan High School did when they joined forces April 28 to clean around the lake, which sits in both North Strabane and Peters townships, and learn how to safely use a canoe. Each of the students who came to help did so on their own time. The event was sponsored by the Canonsburg Lake Restoration and Improvement Committee, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the 70-year-old lake. This was the second year the event was held. “We’re just trying to do our part,” said Chelsea Geist, a Canon-McMillan environmental science and zoology teacher, who sponsors the school’s environmental club. Canonsburg Lake was built in 1943 by Alcoa and quickly became a popular destination for local fishermen, canoers and picnickers. But the depth and extent of the lake has eroded over the years and needs maintenance work, such as dredging. Events like the one held April 28 are designed to draw attention to the lake and spark

Volunteers were treated to pizzas donated by Mm! Mm! Pizza in Peters and bottled water. While one group was canoeing, the other cluster of students were armed with heavyduty trash bags to pick up garbage around the lake. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, which manages the lake, supplied the eight canoes and more importantly, the safety tips.

Keith Compeggie, a Peters Township science teacher, is the faculty advisor of SAFE, which stands for Student Action for the Environment. He said club members were very passionate about doing their part to help with lake clean-up efforts. “They love it,” Compeggie said. Isabelle Henney, a senior at Peters, said it is important to take responsibility for nature and community assets. “It’s fun,” she said. “I like cleaning the lake and canoeing.”

By Suzanne Elliott

The survey also asks residents if cut-through traffic is a problem. Township manager Michael Silvestri said Hays is scheduled to be repaved next month. Once the township learns from the Hays Road residents how they would like to slow down traffic – signage, speed bumps, a landscape divider, rumble strips, or a combination of options – then those will be installed. Edward Boal, one of a handful of Hays Road residents who came to the hearing, asked if there was any possibility that the road could be widened, but was told by Michael Mudry, an Upper St. Clair traffic en-

gineer who did the township traffic study, there simply is not enough room. “Rumble strips would be a good idea because of the bend in the road,” said Mudry, adding that might slow down the traffic from Upper St. Clair, where the majority of Hays Road is located. Because Upper St. Clair’s portion of Hays is flat, wide and not too populated, people tend to speed, Mudry said. The road narrows and becomes windy once it becomes part of Peters. “We want to stop the speeding before people enter Peters,” Mudry said.

USC board unanimously approves Angelo as high school principal By Tom Scanlon For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

The Upper St. Clair School Board bid a fond farewell to a popular teacher and gave an enthusiastic “go-get-‘em” to a new principal on May 18. Anne Glaid was honored for her retirement as a Streams Elementary School teacher. “I have many fond memories,” she told the board and attendees. “As I came in to turn in

my papers to retire in January, I (remembered) it was 36 years ago I walked in that door and became a teacher.” “Thank you for being such a positive influence, not just on my kids, but all the students,” said board member Harry Kunselman. The board then named a new principal for Upper St. Clair High School, unanimously removing the “acting” part of the title that Louis Angelo has had since January. “It’s an exciting time in the high school, it’s an exciting time in your career and we can’t

wait to see what you did,” said board member Barbara Bolas. Patrick O’Toole, the school superintendent, said the board has “all the confidence in the world” in Angelo’s leadership. Angelo was named assistant principal in 2006, then associate principal in 2012 before becoming acting principal. He took over on an interim basis when Mike Ghilani, principal of USC for almost a decade, became deputy superintendent of the Montour School District. Angelo is a 1990 graduate of

@shillsalmanac

Baldwin High School and earned a master’s degree in administration at Duquesne University. Angelo said he was “excited, honored and truly humbled … Working through the transition since January has been invigorating. I felt so supported by our students, staff members and the whole community.” After thanking his wife, Whitney, and three children for their love and support, he pledged, “I am fully aware of the expectations for excellence. I am looking forward to meet and hopefully exceed those expectations.”

Open house offers glimpse into the past at Gilfillan Farm By Tom Scanlon For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

What would Upper St. Clair Community Day be like without the Gilfillan Farm – and a little rain? As usual, there were downpours for the May 16 community celebration. But, there were wide windows of light drizzle or relative dryness, which provided ample time for adults and kids to explore the wonders of the Gilfillan Farm open house. Jean Brown – born Jean Gilfillan – was seated snugly in one of the farm’s barns, providing living history lessons. She was the first president of the Historical Society of Upper St. Clair, and recalled how her cousin, Margaret Boyd Gilfillan, willed the family farm to the society. “Margaret turned 100 and decided that was that,” Jean Brown said. “She said, ‘I’m not going to eat any more, I’m ready to die.’ And she died 13 days later.” Jean was enjoying watching kids romp around the farm’s 15 acres, with a petting zoo set up, demonstrations on bees, milking cows, blacksmithing and other aspects of farm life. “They like the tractors,” said 88-year-old Brown. “They like to see the big ice cakes in the ice box. And the ink wells.” Brown ran the Historical Society for a few years, then turned over the reins to her granddaughter, Rachel Carlson. Setting up the Community Day event is quite a bit of work, Carlson said, but pays off in little ways.

PHOTO BY TOM SCANLON

A petting zoo was set up on the grounds of the Gilfillan Farm during its open house, part of the activities of Upper St. Clair’s Community Day.

“It’s not often that kids in the suburbs get a chance to see this,” Carlson said, as a pair of Clydesdales pulling a carriage pulled up, letting some children off and taking on other families for a relaxing tour. Gilfillan Farm only has a half-dozen cows, some of which volunteered (more or less) for milking demonstrations. The big horses, as well as sheep, goats, donkeys and roosters at the petting zoo were brought over from Greenfield Farms in Perryopolis. The kids and their families were able to see all the fun parts of farm life, though they didn’t have to do any dirty work. Brown recalled when she was a girl, helping clean the chickens for cooking. And, yes, what you’ve heard is true: “After they had their heads removed, they would run around.” Thankfully, there were no demonstrations of that during the open house.

editorial

Remembering why we celebrate Memorial Day

letter to the editor Insight on Mt. Lebanon Home Rule Charter Thank you for providing the Primary Voter’s Guide in your May 6-12, 2015, edition. I would like to provide some background and clarification to the remarks of Steve McLean regarding the Mt. Lebanon Home Rule Charter. In 1975, Mt. Lebanon was one of the first communities in Pennsylvania to adopt a Home Rule Charter. Since then, there have been a number of reviews made to recommend changes. I was a member of the non-partisan Ad Hoc Home Rule Charter Study Commit-

tee working over the period 2012-2013. Our committee made a number of recommendations aimed at improving governmental efficiency, increasing transparency and to bring the Charter in step with current technology and conditions. Each recommendation made by the Committee had unanimous support of the membership. Of the recommendations made, there was none that related to changing the number of votes by Commissioners required to raise taxes. We did make a recommendation to reduce the limit on the amount that the Commission could raise property taxes without voter approval back to the levels established when the

Home Rule Charter was adopted. The work of the committee is complete and a full report is available on the Mt. Lebanon municipal website. The Commission may place the recommendations as referendums for consideration during local elections. It is important to understand that none of the recommended changes to the Home Rule Charter will come into force without the majority support of the voters of Mt. Lebanon. So far, two of the recommendations have been considered by the voters and both have passed with overwhelming support. GEOFFREY R. HURD MT. LEBANON

The celebration of Memorial Day in the United States dates back to the Civil War. In 1868, General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, proclaimed, “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” It was originally known as Decoration Day, and the date of May 30 was selected because it was not the anniversary of any particular Civil War battle. In 1873, New York was the first state to officially recognize the holiday. It has changed over the years, in name and in date. Following World War I, the holiday expanded to honor fallen soldiers of any war, not just the Civil War. The National Holiday Act of 1971, passed by Congress, made it the last Monday in May and ensures a three-day weekend for federal holidays. It has become a day of gatherings with family and friends and is viewed as the “official” start of summer. Picnics take place and pools open. We would bet that there are many people today who forget – or don’t actually know – what the day truly stands for. So, we remind you that you wouldn’t be having picnics or a three-day weekend were it not for the sacrifices that were made for you so long ago, and especially recently. Our servicemen and women are brave, they are heroes. Those who fell in combat gave their lives so that we can live in a free nation. Those who lived to see the end of the war – be it the Civil War, the Vietnam War, or more recently, Operation Iraqi Freedom – do not come home unscathed. Their wounds could be physical or mental, but they are battle wounds. So as you slather on sunscreen, fire up the grill or crack open a beer this Memorial Day, take time to remember why you are afforded these opportunities. And to everyone who has fought, to those whose family members have served – we say, thank you.

Council approves two changes to borough’s zoning ordinance By Cara Host For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Bethel Park Municipal Council approved May 11 two changes to its zoning ordinance. One addresses senior living apartment buildings and the other concerns cellular communication towers. Bethel Park’s zoning law previously treated all apartments the same, but a developer for a proposed senior living complex asked the municipality to treat housing for older adults

differently, since the impact on the surrounding neighborhood would be less, due in part to lighter vehicle traffic. To define senior housing, Bethel Park will use the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s definition, which requires that 80 percent of a senior living facility’s residents are age 55 or older. Under the zoning amendment, buildings that fit that criteria will be permitted in R4 zones, which are intended for multi-family housing. Senior housing will be a conditional use for C4 zones, which are primarily meant for offices

and other commercial buildings. Clover-Lancaster Group wants to build a 130-unit, independent senior living facility on Limestone and McMurrary roads. The area is zoned C4, so the developer will have to obtain additional approval from the zoning hearing board. The other zoning amendment updates the municipality’s laws concerning cellular towers. The current ordinance was written with the large, traditional towers in mind. Those towers can be over 200 feet high, but many communication companies are using smaller antennas and towers to

strengthen their broadband networks. The proposed ordinance change will modernize the law to keep pace with the new technology. The ordinance will require companies to adhere to stealth requirements so that the antenna or tower blends in with the neighborhood. Bethel Park will examine and determine if these antennas and towers blend in with the neighborhood as part of the zoning approval process. Bethel Park plans to use the right-of-way on some of the major roads in the municipality as permitted locations for these antennas and towers.

Free cancer screenings at Peters Health + Wellness Pavilion David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

There were 192–nearly 20 percent–of the 960 patients tested through Allegheny Health Network’s free cancer screenings through 2014 who were found to have cancerous abnormalities or warning signs. Dr. James Betler, director of internal medicine and oncology for AHN’s southern regional offices, said he hopes South Hills residents will realize they may be at risk and come out for the free screenings 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

June 13 at the Peters Township Health + Wellness Pavilion at 160 Gallery Drive. “Earlier detection means possible prevention if not a more curable route for patients,” Dr. Betler said. For Dan Macel, 63, of Shaler Township, a November 2014 lung screening saved his life, but not in the way he thought it might. “The CT (X-ray) scan was low enough that it caught a picture of my kidneys, and they found large tumor on my right kidney,” Macel said. Macel then had the kidney removed in January. “I had no symptoms, so I wouldn’t have

known. The doctors said I would’ve eventually seen symptoms, passing blood, that sort of thing, but I was extremely lucky to catch it then,” he said. The free screenings range literally from head to toe, offering skin, head, neck and lung screenings. There are also more involved diagnostics not typically offered to patients for free, like HIV and hepatitis C screens. “Hepatitis C can lead to liver cancer, and HIV increases a person’s risk for a number of cancers,” he said. Those tests require either a cheek swab or blood test, respectively, while skin tests have a

dermatologist examining a person’s body for malignant lesions and abnormal skin tags. There are also genetic screenings. “A patient would meet with a genetic counselor after answering a questionnaire to go over their genetic history, and thus their family’s disposition to certain cancers,” Betler said. There are also gender-specific screenings that are a little more invasive, but nonetheless important, Betler said, like Pap smears for cervical cancer and stool tests for prostate cancer. Registration closes June 8 and participants must call 412-DOCTORS (412-362-8677) and select option 2.

By friend, and in 18 months mushroomed into a 304-page fantasy novel called “Nidus,” the first fantasy, I mean magic, myths, adventures and those sorts of a trilogy.

I finished ‘Nidus.’ It has evolved since then, but the basic idea is still the same. And trust me, it’ll be a shocking end.” At the end of last year, Hladycz sent his “Nidus” manuscript off to a publisher. Even though he was warned his book would likely get rejected, Carol Hladycz said her son only moped for a couple of days and then heard about self-published books. “Nidus” ended up being published through CreateSpace, the selfpublishing arm of Amazon. Hladycz said the actual publishing didn’t cost him a dime. Instead, CreateSpace takes a percentage of each sale. “He did everything himself,” Carol said. Well, not exactly. Hladycz’s girlfriend, Ashley Coyle, also a senior at Canon-McMillan, designed the book’s cover, said Carol, adding

that her son and Ashley will be attending Edinboro University in the fall. Ben will major in English writing and computer design. Ashley, meanwhile, will major in art. Ben’s twin, Jared, will also be attending Edinboro. Carol’s oldest, Jonah, is a junior and is majoring in business at Slippery Rock University. Hladycz has been advertising “Nidus,” which sells for $12.99, through word of mouth. The book is also available on Amazon, where it has drawn a couple of favorable reviews. Carol is not surprised about her son’s writing ability. She said he is an avid reader and had always written stories. “I am very proud of him,” she said. “He always wears his heart on his sleeve.” So what advice would Hladycz give aspiring writers? “Don’t write for fame or fortune,” he said. “Write because you love it, because you want to. If you truly have that passion, the other things will come with time. It’s so hard to take that first step, but it’s a lot easier if you have that passion. “

“Write because you love it, because you want to.” – Benjamin Hladycz

The students on Team 7C at Independence Middle School in the Bethel Park School District have been participating in a year-long service learning project to support military troops and veterans. To get a first-hand perspective, the teachers on 7C invited active service members and veterans to talk to the students about what their individual branches of service entail, as well as what a typical day was/is like for them and the importance of teamwork and respect. Among the speakers who addressed the students were Navy veteran and former Bethel Park School Board member Richard Rose; Air Force Sgt. Mulholland, Master Sgt. Frazier and 2012 Bethel Park High School graduate Erin Fabus of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard; and John Dunbar from the Bethel Park American Legion Post. Pictured with John Dunbar are: Alex Strogen, Lilly Zeminski, Sami Gutherol, Peyton Miller, Tyler Miller, Maddie McDaniel and Cami Morgan.

Upper St. Clair boys fall in PIAA tennis final to familiar foe Upper St. Clair capped a successful tennis season with a PIAA runner-up trophy. After dropping a tough championship match, 3-2, the Panthers finished second to Lower Merion in the state finals played May 16 at the Hershey Racquet Club in Hershey. When it comes to state championship battles, Lower Merion and USC have been familiar foes. The teams have met three times with the Aces beating USC by 3-2 margins in 2007 and 2015. In 2008, the Panthers won for their last PIAA title. In the finals, Lower Merion swept all three

singles matches. USC won both doubles. Sam Schiffman and Josh Meyer combined for a 6-3, 7-6 (6) win at No. 1 doubles while Liam Gibbons and Scott Russell teamed up for the win at No. 2 doubles, 6-4, 6-3. As expected, the Panthers met Mt. Lebanon in the semifinals and dispatched their arch rival, 3-2. Earlier this spring, USC scored a narrow victory against the Blue Devils. In the semifinals, Fernando Escribens set the pace for the Panthers, winning at No. 1 singles, 6-3, 6-1. Again the tandems dominated for USC. While Schiffman and Meyer swept

a two-setter, 6-3, 6-2, Gibbons and Russell rebounded after dropping the first set, 4-6. They won, 6-3, 6-1, to seal the match. After blanking City League champion Brashear, 5-0, to open tournament action, USC edged Council Rock North, 3-1, in the quarterfinals of the PIAA tournament. Escribens (6-3, 6-4) and Dom D’Amico (7-6, 6-1) won at No. 1 and No. 2 singles. After dropping the first set, 2-6, Gibbons and Russell went the distance to win at No. 2 doubles. After forcing the next two sets to tiebreakers, they clinched the match.

Earlier this season, USC captured a section title and the WPIAL championship. The Panthers, coached by Ron Mercer, edged Shady Side Academy for the District VII title, 3-2. The PIAA individual championships will be held May 22-23 in Hershey. Chris Gladden from Canon-McMillan is entered in the singles competition. The junior was the WPIAL runner-up. Lebo’s duo of Dane Bendel and Charlie Strohl are qualified for the doubles tournament. The pair placed third in the district.

Mt. Lebanon’s Dougherty dominates WPIAL championships fourth and fifth places while Todd Gunzenhauser finished fifth in the 3,200 run. Lebo placed two other competitors on the podium. In the high jump, Reed Farber secured sixth and Marcus Edvardsson tied for seventh place.

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Mt. Lebanon track coach Oscar Schutt dubbed Claire Dougherty’s performance during the WPIAL track and field championships “historic” and indeed the effort was one for the record books. The Mt. Lebanon junior garnered three gold medals and shattered three school marks. She is now qualified for the PIAA championships to be held May 22-23 at Shippensburg University. Dougherty won the 800-meter run in 2:14.08. She also guided the 4x800 relay team of Sadie Saxton, Leah Graf and Kelsey Potts to victory and a new WPIAL record time of 9:13.22. The unit smashed the mark by two seconds and each of the girls ran their personal best time of the season. Additionally, Dougherty anchored Lebo’s victorious 4x400 relay team of Sarah Rolfsen, Corinne Repcheck and Potts. The unit, which led wire-to-wire, finished in 3:58, a new Lebo record. “Claire’s toughness and determination to run the 4x8 split all by herself to get the record was impressive,” said Schutt. “Then, in the 800, she had to battle through traffic and come from behind on the last 100 meters in the 800. Finally, she got the baton in the lead for the 4x4 and finished it off for the win. She had a great day.”

Mt. Lebanon advances to WPIAL lacrosse finals

Track

Mt. Lebanon defeated Pine-Richland, 10-6, and advanced to its third straight WPIAL final for boys’ lacrosse. The Blue Devils (14-6) will play the winner between North Allegheny and Shady Side Academy in the WPIAL Division I championship game at 8 p.m. May 22 at Highmark Stadium. Shady Side is the defending champion, having defeated Lebo in last year’s final. The Blue Devils had no preference on opponent. “We are just happy to be there,” said head coach Mike Ermer. “Regardless of who we play, it is going to be a dog fight.” For the most part, Lebo’s semifinal foe provided similar competition. The Rams jumped ahead, 2-0, three minutes into the game but Brian Ward and Dan Lee knotted the contest. With 52 seconds left in the quarter, Sam White, off an assist from Ward, vaulted Lebo into the lead, 3-2. “When it was 2-0, I wasn’t too concerned,” Ermer said. “It’s a long game. We knew they would come out fly but lacrosse is not a game won on emotion. We just had to weather that first five minutes and we would be okay.” The Blue Devils were okay because of defense. Charles Cappucci, Preston Chamberlin, Nicholas Tommasi and Jacob Zoffer along with goalie Matt Lee held the Rams in check during a critical stretch in the third quarter. “The defense was outstanding,” Ermer said. “During that six-minute possession, the game turned on that.” The Rams failed to score. In fact, only one goal was recorded in the third period. David Harvey,

Brian Kelly also added an assist. For the Rams, Bryan Newcamp scored twice. Adam Reitman, Evan Juncol, Scott Wilden and Connor Slomka supplied the other goals. Against the Foxes, Chamberlin and Connor Brumfield both recorded hat tricks for Lebo. Chamberlin picked up three assists. Kelly and Lee also had three assists each to go along with ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF two tallies.

community news Allegheny Co. Council rejects restaurant grades By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

Allegheny County Council voted 12-1 to reject the county executive’s controversial proposal to post letter grades outside of restaurants. The May 5 decision drew applause from the audience, many of whom were restaurant industry professionals who have testified for months against the proposal to post A-B-C letter grades instead of pass or fail information from health inspectors. Critics said the system could arbitrarily issue a B or C grade due to non-health related issues, leading to lost business from consumers perceiving the restaurants to be substandard or unhealthy by comparison to those with posted A grades. “Not one person from the public sought to testify in favor of this,” said Jeff Coen of the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association, “because for the past six years the Post-Gazette has been pushing this without any expertise on this.”

A: Recognize that your home will sell for what the market

dictates. Your home becomes a commodity – a product for sale – and must compete with similar homes in price and condition. A seller only controls two things: Price and condition. If either of those is out of line with similar homes, it will not sell in a timely manner. You must either routinely keep up with the maintenance or it will show up in the home inspection.

De-cluttering is one of the main conversations that must take place. The buyer does not want to look at your stuff; he or she wants to see the house. Finally, one of the major mistakes is to overprice. Buyers now have so much information at their fingertips, and they know prices probably better than the seller, because they are looking at many houses, not just the one. If the house is overpriced, in many instances, the buyers won’t even bother to look.
