Rotary Club of McMurray marks 50th anniversary Group to donate plaza at Valley Brook and East McMurray roads

By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

Usually when a milestone anniversary is reached, it’s celebrated by getting gifts from family and friends.

But, the Rotary Club of McMurray, and its 41 members, is putting a different spin on its Golden Anniversary celebration. The club, which turned 50 on June 15, is donating a plaza at the intersection of Valley Brook and East McMurray roads to the township.

“We have been wanting to do something there for years,” said Michael Silvestri, Peters Township manager and a long-time Rotary Club member.

The plaza should be ready later this year. It is tentatively dubbed Rotary Club Plaza, and will have some green space and a bench where people can meet to take a walk, get coffee, or shop nearby, Silvestri said. The club is hoping to fund the project – which does not yet have a price tag – through donations and sponsorships of plaques or medallions at the site.

In honor of the club’s 50 years, Peters Council issued a proclamation designating June 15, 2015, as Rotary Club day in the township and congratulating the club on its community work during the past five decades. Projects done in Peters by the club include the installation of the street clock in front of the municipal building, the donation of a picnic shelter and playground at Elm Grove Park, sponsoring of student scholarships and pitching in to assist people in need with building repairs. The local club also sponsors an orphanage in Cali, Colombia.

The club, whose motto is “Service Above Self,” was started in 1965 and three of its founding members Paul Owens, William Holt and Russ Wylie are still active in the club,” said current president Jim Mortimer.

“They have given of their time and service all these years,” Mortimer said, The founding members will be recognized at the club’s annual President’s Dinner June 25 at the Rolling Hills Country Club in McMurray. Mortimer will hand over the club’s presi-

Township will officially take over library operations in July

By Suzanne Elliott

Nonprofit organization seeks township approval for building work

Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

Peters Township Public Library will officially become a township department next month.

Peters Council agreed unanimously at its June 22 meeting to take over operations at the library, effective July 1. Patrons, however, should not notice anything different. Books, DVDs and other items will still be checked out the same way and with the same card.

“This will be very similar to how it works with Parks & Recreation,” township manager Michael Silvestri told council.

The only real difference is that the library’s five full-time employees now work for the township, including longtime director, Pier Lee. She will segue into a part-time consulting position once her successor, Myra Oleynik comes on board. Oleynik’s official start date is July 20.

The library board had asked the township in April if it could take over the library.

“The board had discussions concerning related issues of transitioning to a new director,” said library board chairman Richard Easton in an April 21 letter to council. “As council is aware, this is a significant change for the library as we have not had a new director since 1975. Over the years, the library operation has become much more complex and multifacet-

Horses with Hope Inc., a Bethel Park nonprofit organization that offers equine-assisted activities to children, teens and adults with special needs, appeared before Peters Township council June 22 to plead its case to use a building on Brush Run Road for an indoor riding facility.

The building is located at 6233 Brush Run Road in Bethel Park, but a portion of the center’s property sits in Peters, necessitating township approval before work could proceed on the metal frame building to bring it up to code.

Anne Davis founded the nonprofit in 2007 and relocated to the 93-acre Bethel Park site ed. Looking to the future, it would make sense for the library staff to become township employees and that the township provide payroll and human resources services. In addition, we believe the library should have full department status so that the bookkeeping process is managed through the township’s business department,” Easton’s letter said.

As part of the transition process, council passed a special ordinance making the library a separate township department. This action included the approval of job descriptions,

last year in hopes of growing and serving more people.

“What we are looking to have is a center that reaches everyone,” said Davis, explaining the need for an indoor riding facility. “We are the only facility in the South Hills that offers this kind of service.”

Besides therapeutic riding, Horses with Hope also provides equine assisted learning sessions, which are for people with behavioral problems, victims of abuse and at-risk youth.

Over the next three years, the center hopes to start a career exploration program for youth interested in careers in equine studcompensation, and hours for the director, the IT/reference librarian, the head of reference, the head of Youth Services and the Children’s librarian.

That ordinance will also allow council to appoint directors to the five- to seven-member library board for a three-year term. Current members of the library board will remain until their term expires. The board will now be responsible for preparing and presenting an annual report to council.

With the passage of the ordinance, Oleynik,

In addition, Davis said she hopes to develop partnerships with local universities and start an institutional program to serve teams from group homes, special needs schools and therapy groups with the goal of helping people develop daily living skills.

“We are working with staff to meet the codes and requirements,” said Raymond Perr, director of community outreach for Horses with Hope. “It would mean an awful lot to us.”

No action was taken at the meeting.

who was previously a librarian at Bower Hill Elementary School, will be responsible for preparing the annual budget, which will be submitted to the library board and then given to council for final approval. Silvestri said the township gives the library just under $800,000, an amount that is not expected to change. Plus, late fees, money generated through programming, gifts and other financial contributions will be used to support the library.

letters to the editor What is reaped when hatred is sown

If you have a Facebook account, you can’t help but see the periodic ramblings of latent racists, who will plead that we need to “take our country back.”

I have always seen this as code for, “I can’t stand the fact that a black man is president.”

I guess we have all just witnessed in South Carolina what is reaped when hatred is sown.

Venting your racist emotions may seem kind of harmless – it isn’t – until some poor soul who is struggling with mental stability decides to become your hero by carrying out your orders.

We now have nine innocent souls, who were slaughtered while praying, because a large number of haters felt the need to demand their country back.

I almost wrote “I hope you are happy,” but that sarcastic comment might be misinterpreted by the same folks who spewed the hatred in the first place.

Actually, I hope they are saddened by having participated in the wave of hatred which spawned this heinous act. I hope they have learned that you reap what you sow.

We have all just seen what the harvest is when you plant hatred.

Add meningitis vaccine to schedule

By Neal Raisman On college and university campuses across the country, this is one of the most exciting times of year. As the graduates of 2015 celebrate receiving their degrees, preparations are already underway for the incoming class of 2019.

At the same time, leaders at colleges and universities are dealing with a new reality on their campuses – the uptick in outbreaks of contagious diseases like meningitis on campus – and many are taking action to help preserve the public health of their communities.

As a former college president, I have a unique understanding of the challenge and critical nature of protecting the public health of these institutions.

As a father who lost a son to meningitis several years ago, I sadly understand far too well the lethal way this disease can spread and take lives.

Nine years ago, my wife and I lost our 26 year-old son Isaac to meningitis. He awoke one morning with a headache – and by late that same afternoon, he was dead.

Meningitis takes the lives of too many in this country. This year alone, we’ve seen the disease sicken kids at schools from east coast to west coast. Cases were diagnosed at Yale University, Providence College, Marquette University and most notably at the University of Oregon, where six were stricken, and we lost one student to the disease.

Meningitis is a bacterial illness contracted by as many as 1,000 people in the U.S. each year.

Ten to 15 percent of those who contract the disease will die, like my son. Even when promptly treated, as many as 20 percent of those infected suffer serious consequences like the loss of limbs, damage to the nervous system, deafness, brain damage and seizures and strokes.

Meningitis is complicated. There are currently five known

thealmanac.net

strains of the disease. Until recently, vaccines to treat four of the five strains of the disease had been available. In the last year, two new vaccines were approved by the FDA to combat the fifth strain. This fifth strain has been responsible for many of the recent college outbreaks.

But approval by the FDA doesn’t mean that our college kids automatically have access to this new immunization.

The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP), a division of the Centers for Disease Control is the body that makes recommendations as to what vaccines should be required by state health departments and covered by insurance plans.

College and university presidents and their senior staff members have taken notice of these outbreaks, and are urging ACIP to adopt a wide recommendation for college-aged students to be vaccinated.

There should be no delay. ACIP meets June 24. Healthcare providers, and vaccine advocates like myself join the college leaders in the plea to ACIP members to recommend adding this new vaccine to the vaccination schedule immediately.

Vaccines are one of the greatest achievements of our time.

They save lives. As diseases continue to evolve, so does the science to fight them. At the time of my son’s death, there was little we could do to fight the disease. We have a chance to change that for other families, a chance to keep them from suffering the most heartbreaking of losses.

Neal Raisman is the former President of Rockland Community College and Onondaga Community College, both in New York. He is a nationally-known consultant on student retention and relations issues for colleges and universities across the country. He serves as a meningitis ambassador for the Global Healthy Living Foundation, www.ghlf.org.

I took an advanced placement economics class at Bethel Park High School during my senior year. One takeaway from this course was learning the value of growing the economy.

Stimulating the economy is done best by attracting folks to the region and having them set up shop there. If you have more people moving to the region, more individuals will be working, and more money will be circulating.

This situation sounds a lot like what’s going on in the Pennsylvania oil and gas industry.

I graduated from high school in 2014 and went on to Pennsylvania State University to study petroleum engineering. I have found a niche in this industry – I now work as an intern with a major operator.

Driving from different job sites, I have seen local economies transformed in amazing ways. Every day for lunch I stop at a locally-owned deli and nearby hardware store. I am personally injecting the money I have earned from the oil and gas industry into small towns.

If Gov. Tom Wolf implements this severance tax, he will strip away all the good that has been slowly and carefully built in Pennsylvania. Those small town booming economies wont be thriving for much longer.

Gov. Wolf, why are you trying to hurt my chances of landing a shale job in Pennsylvania? I would love to graduate from Penn State and enter the workforce in my hometown, Pittsburgh, which I love dearly.

Let’s keep jobs in small-town communities throughout Pennsylvania.

In ‘defense’ of Whole Foods Project

I am sure the current destruction of the Consol site has brought some criticism of the Upper St. Clair township authorities for permitting it. But, I’d like to speak up in their defense. After all, if you live in an area without a single food store for miles, of course you need to build a supermarket. And if that means clearing away a few trees and flowers, well surely that is a small price to pay. No question about it.

And while we are on the subject, hats off to the developers for a most effective scorched earth campaign. Now not a living thing remains. Wonderful. Everyone involved must be so proud.

George Washington Elementary School in Bethel Park is undergoing $3.3 million in renovations.

George Washington Elementary work on schedule, budget

By Cara Host For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Students have left George Washington Elementary School for the summer, but the building is far from empty, as construction workers are quite busy with a $3.3 million renovation project.

“With our crew and our schedule, I think our completion date of mid-August is quite doable.

We’re on schedule and on budget,” said David Disque, Bethel Park School District’s construction manager. Disque discussed how the project was progressing at the school board’s June 16 committee meeting.

Students are scheduled to start a new school year about a week after workers finish the renovation, and district officials have discussed the importance of limiting any disruption to the school day.

The project calls for the replacement of the heating and air conditioning system, along with duct work, new ceilings, some floors, new lighting fixtures and electrical work. Crews started tackling lighter tasks after school hours a few weeks before the last day of school. But now that the school has closed for summer break, workers have began the project in earnest.

Disque said district custodians removed all desks, furniture and equipment, and construction workers have removed all ceilings and most lighting fixtures. The boilers have also been removed and new LED lights have already been installed in the gymnasium.

Disque said the LED lights will save the district money in the long run, since they are more efficient and do not need replaced as often as florescent lights.

The project is similar to the HVAC replacement at Neil Armstrong Middle School, which was completed two years ago. Bethel Park also has tentative plans to replace the HVAC system at Ben Franklin Elementary School in a few years.

In another matter, the school board is expected, at its regular meeting June 23, to approve the inclusion of ninth grade students in the high school marching band. The additional students will result in some added cost, for additional instruments, uniforms and buses, but school officials would purchase the uniforms and instruments on an as-needed basis.

The district considered allowing ninth graders to join the band several months ago. The younger students will not be included in the band’s annual trip, but will attend a separate ninth-grade trip.

Coyotes spotted in Bethel Park typically try and avoid humans when possible, she added.

COURTESY POINT PLEASANT RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

A rendering of the projected senior living facility in Bethel Park on Keystone Drive, at the sight of the former Logan Elementary School. Construction was originally slated to begin in April, but demolition concerns have delayed the project.

Council members hold joint meeting with school board

By Cara Host For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Some residents near the former Logan School Building on Keystone Drive feel they are being kept in the dark over plans to redevelop the site.

“They want to know what is going on there, and I don’t blame them,” Bethel Park Councilman Mark O’Brien said June 22 at a joint meeting with the Bethel Park School Board. The two governing bodies try to schedule a joint meeting at least once a year to discuss issues of interest to both the school board and the municipality.

The school district still owns the property, though it agreed over a year ago to sell it to Bethel Park Retirement Living Properties LP, which plans to demolish the school building and construct a 132-unit apartment building for senior citizens.

Construction was supposed to start in April, but plans were delayed due to environmental concerns associated with the demolition of the building, said Matt Howard, assistant to the superintendent at Bethel Park School District.

Nearby residents were unaware of the delays, so they asked their representative on council, O’Brien, for information. O’Brien said a lack of communication from the school district makes it difficult for him to discern the project’s status.

Howard said he would try to regularly update the municipality on the project’s status so that municipal officials could better inform the residents.

“Anytime a development happens in a neighborhood, I think residents are naturally very suspicious,” O’Brien said.

Retirement Management Services of Pittsburgh will operate the senior living complex, which is supposed to be ready for its first occupants sometime next year.

Since the facility will not provide skilled nursing services, the older adults living there will be independent. However, they will not have to worry about cooking or maintaining their homes. Three meals will be served and the facility will also feature various activities, a fitness center, beauty salon, worship center and a car service to take residents’ to doctor appointments and other places.

Logan School has not been used as an elementary school for at least 20 years. More recently, it served as classrooms for Community College of Allegheny County. It has been unused for the past four years while the school

“There’s a lot going on. We’re seeing a lot of redevelopment in Bethel Park.”

– Council President Tim Moury district tried to sell the property. Bethel Park Retirement Living Properties, a subsidiary of Retirement Management Services, agreed to purchase the parcel for $700,000 last May. School district officials also updated their municipal counterparts on a slide that developed on Sherwood Road, near the high school. Winter weather may have caused the damage, but contractors have looked at the road and it appears stable for now, Howard said. The road will be repaired soon.

Municipal officials updated school board members on development projects that are in various stages of completion in Bethel Park.

YMCA has long had plans to develop a health center at the former Bladerunners Ice Rink near the high school. For several years, the project has been stuck in litigation with a group opposing the project. Since most of the legal hurdles have been cleared, the YMCA should be able to move forward, said Jerry Duke, municipal planner.

The status of other major developments includes: • Millennium Woods, a new neighborhood of 49 single family homes off Baptist Road, is under construction • A 300-unit apartment building at South Hills Village is under review • Hillcrest Christian Academy’s new classroom building on Bethel Church Road is awaiting a building permit • Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Station on Brightwood Road is under construction • The new Eat’n Park restaurant on Library Road is under construction • Cool Springs Golf Center is constructing a new recreation center and has plans to build an assisted living facility • A Step Up Veterinary Clinic is under construction on Clifton Road • Bruce Brothers/Millennium Shops on Library Road is under construction “There’s a lot going on,” said Council President Tim Moury. “We’re seeing a lot of redevelopment in Bethel Park.”

The political environment of youth sports might have brought forth the rumors, according to the couple’s attorney, Bill Labovitz.

“We understand there’s a political nature to these types of boards and organizations, but the actions by association’s board members have gone too far and they must be held accountable,” Labovitz said. The suit goes on to say board members conspired a plan at a June 23, 2014, meeting to ouster the Bedorthas from their positions in Mt. Lebanon lacrosse.

One of the attorneys representing the association and its board members, Joseph Lesinski, said it’s not typical for his firm to comment on cases, and declined to comment.

William Bedortha, who co-owned and operated The Lacrosse Store in Castle Shannon, said the store closed in March 2015 after allegations that he was stealing from the store as well as the association, leading to a loss of business between 50-75 percent from clinics and merchandise sales. According to Mt. Lebanon Police, no reports of theft or fraud have been filed by any party against the Bedorthas.

USC School Board approves budget with .08-mill increase

By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

At the June 22 regular meeting, the Upper St. Clair School Board approved a $72.7 final budget for the 2015-2016 school year. The vote to adopt the budget was 8-0, with board member Lou Oliverio absent.

Superintendent Dr. Patrick O’Toole said preparing the 2015-16 budget was “challenging,”

with state and federal mandates regarding pensions and special education causing significant impact.

The new budget raises the millage to 23.0355, up 0.8398 from the current rate. For homeowners, the new rate equates to an additional $84 a year for each $100,000 of assessed value.

A projected $900,000 increase in statemandated pension costs, which had an increase of more than $700,000 in 2013-2014, and a $200,000 increase in healthcare costs were some of the main budget drivers.

Also included in the budget was money for technology investment, including $750,000 to expand the 1:1 learning initiative by providing iPads to students in grades five, six and eight.

Students in grade seven received iPads this year. Funding was also in the budget to replace 270 computers.

The board approved the promotion of Brad Wilson to supervisor of customized and online learning. Prior to his promotion, Wilson, who was hired in 2007, was the customization/instructional technology curriculum leader.

The board recognized Keya Loding, a student at Boyce Middle School, as a Benjamin Carson Scholar. The son of Isaac and Irene Loding, Keya received a $1,000 scholarship toward his college education in recognition of his academic excellence and service to the community.

In other business, the board voted to increase school lunch prices. Lunch in the elementary schools will now be $2.15 and $2.40 in the secondary schools, an increase of 10 cents.

USC junior heads to China to participate in language program

By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

To know another language is like having a second soul. That’s a paraphrased quote from King Charlemagne headlining a post on Anthony Abinanti’s travel blog, “Xiamen Showdown,” as the 17-year-old Upper St. Clair student leaves for the namesake city in China on June 29. Abinanti will spend a little over a month and a half in the country learning a third language. He studied abroad in Spain in 2013.

“I’ve been studying Spanish since I was in el-

ementary school, and I started Chinese two years ago,” he said.

After a 36-page application, five essays and an interview, Abinanti beat out 620 other competitors for a language scholarship through the U.S. Department of State’s National Security Language Initiative for Youth program. Though he said he has an interest in linguistics and international affairs, the high school Abinanti junior is presently seeking a career path in business over one in diplomacy and foreign affairs.

“China is such an important country to the

world and the United States. And if you understand the language, you get a whole new connection to the people and their understanding of their own place in the world,” he said.

Romantic disposition aside, it’s far from a vacation trip.

“Immersion language acquisition allows you to learn things through your daily actions instead of trying to apply examples in a classroom,” he said, “but it’s exhausting, because your brain in constantly translating. It’s tiresome.”

Abinanti, saying he regretted not keeping a daily journal while he was in Spain, plans to let the world know exactly how tired or thrilled he is day-to-day through his blog, https://xiamenshowdown.wordpress.com. He said he’s fortunate to have a dad who travels – also to China – and to have met a professor in Spain, Angela Rodriguez, for sparking his interest in language.

“Language is a big thing that’s sacred to the world. Each race or culture has their own identity. All people are people, but language is what separates people from each other. To know one more element of a type of people helps us understand each other and ourselves.”

Lyme Disease more prevalent in Pa. in 2014 Arrest made Doctors Karen Hacker and Karen Murphy jointly answer questions about Lyme Disease at a June 10 press conference.

By David Singer Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

Allegheny County reported 822 cases of Lyme Disease in 2014, a huge increase from 145 in 2013, according to county and state health officials. It was also the first year, according to Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Karen Murphy, that the tick-transmitted disease was reported in every county. Allegheny County Health Director Dr. Karen Hacker said some of the uptick in the disease was due to underreporting cases. The symptoms include a bullseye rash at the site of a bite, fatigue, chills, headache, muscle and joint paint and swollen lymph nodes.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection reported 34 percent of deer ticks in Allegheny County that were tested came back positive for the bacteria borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme Disease.

Epidemiologist Kristen Mertz said the county’s data shows young children and senior age groups reported most instances of Lyme Disease.

“The two big groups were 5-9 year-olds and 50-65 year-olds,” she said, noting it’s important for everyone to self-check and wear long-sleeved clothing in brush and grassy areas.

The tick population is increasing and spreading by hitching a ride on animals like deer, mice, raccoons and birds, according to entomologist Bill Todaro.

DAVID SINGER / STAFF

“And you can’t prevent this at a county level like mosquitoes, where you can go in, find a concentration of still water and blast them. There are pesticides you can use on your yard, but we can’t do that. The best method is repellent with longer clothing,” he said.

There aren’t vaccines for humans, but antibiotic treatments. Anti-vaccine advocates campaigned against two that were available during the 1990s, leading them to be taken off the market because of reported side effects. The latest developments on a human vaccine are coming from European drug developer Valneva, which published pre-clinical data in November 2014 that said they might be on to a vaccine within the next few years. In the meantime, however, there is a vaccine for pets.

“If your dogs aren’t vaccinated, they can be like a canary in the coal mine. That’s not to say don’t get them vaccinated, you should. But if they come down with Lyme Disease, they’ll become lame very quickly; switching legs back and forth and eventually they just stop moving around,” Todaro said, explaining that it means ticks are likely to be in your area.

Dr. Hacker clarified that the only way to contract Lyme Disease is from tick bites, and that it is not transmissible between humans or even other animals.

“You’ve got to look hard for these guys through July, because they are in their nymph stage; barely a speck of dirt,” Todaro said, “and you likely won’t notice them if they’re on you until two days later when they get full of blood.”

Multimedia reporter dsinger@thealmanac.net

Andrew Dugdale allegedly burglarized his former place of work on June 1, the Pittzarella Pizza shop on Library Road in Bethel Park. He did it again on June 20, according to Bethel Park police, grabbing small amounts of cash before ultimately holding up the same Domino’s pizza shop just blocks away two days in a row.

“Same thing each time, he went in, same clothes, shirt pulled up over his face, and he demanded cash,” said Bethel Park police detective Lance Mattes.

Detective Mattes said Dugdale, no age given, entered each time, first around 3:40 p.m. on June 21, and then around 7:20 p.m. the next day, wearing a white shirt or cloth to obscure his face.

“Despite that, surveillance cameras got a real clear picture of him,” he said.

Allegheny County Sheriff’s deputies and Baldwin police K-9 units assisted in arresting Dugdale at Pebble Creek Apartments on Library Road on June 22.

Scott Township moving forward with pool plan

By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Pool committee representative Laura Hartman told Scott commissioners that plans for the new pool at Scott Park are right on schedule.

Speaking at the board’s June 9 agenda meeting, Hartman said permits for the pool have been received and bid specs have gone out.

Township engineer Larry Lennon said the results are back from the geo-technical engineer and test borings indicate that there are no typical signs of mine subsidence, so risk for the new pool is the same as the current pool.

Initial test borings raised questions about possible mine subsidence and the stability of the proposed site. Further testing was done, which required the municipality to push the scheduled opening of the pool on Memorial Day weekend back a week.

Hartman also said plans are being made for a “Blow Up the Pool” party to mark the closing of the old pool and to break ground for the new pool. Scott pool is targeted to close on August 16, with construction to begin the next day in order to have the new pool ready for Memorial Day 2016.

In other business, public works director Randy Lubin told the board that storm sewer overflow on Cardinal Drive needs to be addressed quickly. According to Lubin, the overflow has been reported to appropriate agencies, which

A rendering of the new Scott Township Pool, which will be built in the same location as the current pool. want the township to correct the problem as soon as possible.

Lubin said the overflow occurred in an area of heavily wooded terrain, making it difficult to access. He suspects there is a break in the line and township employees can’t get the area cleaned to get there. Lubin suggested making a change order to the contract with Jet Jack, the company the township is using to make sewer repairs needed before starting the municipality’s road program.

The board also heard from Todd Marley of Marley Benefit Group about Cypress Advantage Plan, an employee benefit program. According to Marley, the plan allows contributions on a pre-tax basis, reducing payroll taxes. These savings are then used to purchase supplemental

thealmanac.net

coverage that can replace lost wages.

It is a way to increase employee benefits with no cost to the employee, said Marley, adding that participation in the plan is voluntary.

He said that the typical annual savings for the township would be about $350-$400 per employee, and participation in the voluntary program is usually about 90 percent.

Marley said that they typically hold an informational meeting with employees to describe the overall program, and then meet with each employee individually. The township solicitor will review the plan and agreements prior to the board’s June 23 meeting, when the commissioners are expected to vote on whether to present the Cypress Advantage Plan to their employees.

Kids Sports PHOTO CONTEST

Brought to you by Liberty Lumber

Hayley Martin

Congratulations to winner of the Observer-Reporter Kids Sports Photo Contest for her photo of Arabella

We like to call Arabella the “Triple Threat.” She’s adorable in a tutu for dance, dangerous with her high kicks at karate and wicked fast on the softball field rounding the bases. She’s a natural athlete with so many talents.

In May, she completed her first season with Synergy Dance by Roz where she performed in tap and ballet. This weekend, she finished up her third softball season with the Chartiers-Houston Girls Softball League where she placed third in the annual 8U Fun Day running skills competition for her age group.

That same day, she also tested for her Lil Dragon Black Belt which completed the program and now moves up to Novice Tae Kwon Do at Kangs Black Belt Academy. She might have a lot of activities, but she loves them all. She’s a naturally active child.

“I love watching her twirl and dance on stage and then turn around and throw out some powerful high kicks at karate or crush a ball on the field,” said Hayley Martin. “She’s so versatile in her skills. I love watching her grow and take on new interests. The sky is the limit with her!”

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.

The Compassion Connection only takes Highmark Insurance at this point for clients, yet does have a benevolence scale that can have clients paying as little as $10 for sessions, according to Pastor Stepp.

Community coordinator and class teacher Tom Kwiatkowski said the organization offers group classes on subjects one might not expect, from Alzheimer’s Caregivers’s support groups, to financial management and his class, “Healing is a Choice,” or even the comically-named “How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk/Jerkette.”

“Addiction recovery and adolescent addiction recovery are our most attended classes,” Kwiatkowski said. “In those groups and in my class, there’s something that has been acknowledged: you can’t heal on your own. Whether it’s through God or the help of others, what happens when we seek healing through ourselves, we just dig a deeper hole, and sometimes to the point where a person doesn’t want to leave their home. You are not alone and you need to know that.”

Kwiatkowski said Compassion Connection will continue to host novel support events like Soberfest – a “practical counter” to Oktoberfest – on Sept. 19 at South Park’s Fairground Museum Building.

Flying high Peters Township students win Pilots of the Future competition

By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

Peters Township High School students Joska Troutman, Sam Hazo and Nathan Levin have a few things in common.

The three are friends, are all taking flying lessons and all want to be commercial airline pilots one day. It’s pretty safe to say that they are on the right track – they won the Pilots of the Future Competition held by California University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Innovation at Southpointe.

The program, which the center developed with the assistance of Scott Keddal, a retired U.S. Air Force and commercial pilot, is a gamesbased learning activity that uses technology to challenge students with real-world experience.

“The Innovation Center’s primary mission is to act as a resource in the community,” said Christopher Allen, community education manager at the center. “In meetings with local eduCOURTESY SHELLY BELCHER Joska Troutman, a Peters Township High School senior uses the flight simulator provided cators, gifted-education teachers expressed a

games as education tools, and thought it would be really fun to use flight simulator software to teach a variety of skills. I pitched the concept to Keddal, who agreed to share his expertise as a consultant.”

Students from 12 area schools were placed in either three- to nine-person teams and asked to use flight-simulation technology on loan from California University to master the challenges of air travel logistics and piloting an aircraft.

Each player on the team takes on the role of air traffic controller, first officer and pilot. The goal of the competition is to build interpersonal skills, spatial, logical, verbal and kinesthetic skills.

“Cal U gave us a laptop with a joy stick and six weeks to practice,” said Judy Alexander, a gifted teacher at Peters Township High School and the project coordinator at the school. “Each team member had a chance to be the pilot, copilot and air traffic controller.”

The league itself is played in a points-based format. The teams are ranked from first to last by their overall point total scored during the different sections of the competition, which includes ground school, flight team and emblem SEE PILOTS PAGE 23

design stage, mission execution and a teamwork and communication stage.

“The Peters Township team was extremely good at communicating with one another at every level, mimicking the realities of aviation,” Allen said. “At the same time, they were well organized and knowledgeable about the science behind flight.”

Each team must complete three different missions, all in various weather conditions.

Hazo, the most experienced of the three, flew in snow. Levin flew in fog, and Troutman, who just started lessons, flew in sunny conditions.

The Peters team competed April 29 and scored 748 points out of a possible 733. Brentwood High School was second in the high school division with 648 points.

“We got the extra points by doing extra maneuvers,” said Hazo, 17, who has been taking flight lessons since he was 13 and hopes to do his first solo flight this summer.

“I have been interested in flying since I was a little kid,” said Hazo, adding the Future Pilots project has given him extra knowledge that he will be able to use when he gets his pilot’s license. “I used to get excited when I was taken to the airport.”

Levin, 16, also said he has been interested in flying for years.

“I was fascinated by it as a kid,” he said.

Troutman, 18, credits his father, a pilot for American Airlines, for his interest in aviation.

Peters Township High School students Joska Troutman, Nathan Levin (center) and Samuel Hazo won California University of Pennsylvania’s Pilots of the Future Competition. take some courses on flight theory and aeronautics at Community College of Beaver County.

For winning the Future Pilots competition, the three will be taken for a ride in July by state Sen. Camera Bartolotta (R-Carroll Township).

Bartolotta is a pilot who keeps her aircraft at the Washington County Airport. Each of the students will also get an opportunity to fly her plane.

“I met Camera Bartolotta at various Southpointe Chamber of Commerce events before she was elected and she expressed an interest in the programs we were developing for local school districts,” Allen said. “When I mentioned

the Future Pilots League, she told me about her love for flying. I ran into her again in April and she asked how the Future Pilots League was progressing. I explained the students were having a lot of fun, but I was struggling to finalize a prize for the winners. At that point, she offered to take the winning teams on a flight in her plane and we gratefully accepted.”

Allen said he will continue the Future Pilots program next year, but plans to tweak it a bit.

“We would like to work with a helicopter pilot next year to add a mission that requires piloting a helicopter in a rescue situation,” he said.

The Comcast Foundation announced the 2015 recipients of its annual Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program awards at a special event held at the State Museum of Pennsylvania. All of the 2015 Pennsylvania Leaders and Achievers recipients received $1,000 scholarships, including local students Nicolas Karafilis of South Fayette High School, Eliza Luxbacher of Upper St. Clair High School, and Mackenzie Klutch of Canon-McMillan High School.

Jones retires after 36 years in Lebo’s AD office

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Russ Jones remembers Aug. 13, 1979, as if it were yesterday. The lifelong Mt. Lebanon resident embarked on his career as equipment and facilities manager at his alma mater. The position eventually morphed into the title as Mt. Lebanon assistant athletics director.

“That’s when I met Bob Schilken,” Jones said of the iconic Lebo lineman, who also starred at the University of Pittsburgh before becoming a renowned orthopaedic surgeon within the Allegheny Health Network. “He’d forgotten the reflective glasses he needed to play. His mother brought them. It was the first day of pre-season training camp for football.”

For 36 years, Jones assisted many other Mt. Lebanon student athletes, including Schilken’s own daughter. Meghan excelled on the Mt. Lebanon swim team, which finished runner-up in the WPIAL in 2014.

“Russ is Mt. Lebanon,” said aquatics coach Tom Donati, sporting a William and Mary Tshirt given to him by Meghan upon the com-

pletion of her freshman season for the Tribe.

“When you think about what makes Mt. Lebanon run, you think of Russ Jones. He’s why people move to this community. He’s very, very positive. The kids know him and that’s special. And the coaches love him. He has a job everybody wants but nobody wants to do. And, he does it perfectly. He does what we coaches don’t want to be bothered doing.”

Beginning July 1, Jones won’t be doing anything but strolling the streets of his beloved neighborhood. An avid walker, he has retired from his position. During his career, Jones has assisted four athletics directors: Glenn AstonReese, legendary football coach Art Walker, Rich Relich and John Grogan.

“Russ is the epitome of what, in my mind, is good about Mt. Lebanon. He’s grown up here.

Worked here,” said Grogan, who is Lebo’s longest-lasting AD, 15 years and counting. “He means the world to athletics and to Mt. Lebanon. Russ is someone who cares so deeply for Mt. Lebanon and its athletics. He’s a really great guy. Super person. The type of people you want in your program. Everything he does is for SEE JONES PAGE 30

sports Jones FROM PAGE 29 the participants and for the betterment of the programs. He does everything to present the positive side of things.”

At age 26, things weren’t so positive for Jones. He was working for a catalogue store in Bridgeville, making little use of the journalism degree he had earned from Duquesne University in 1975.

“I was lost,” said Jones, who graduated from Mt. Lebanon in 1971. “I did not know what I wanted to do. When they created this job, I applied. The pay was less, but I had benefits.”

While the major perk was enrolling in the Public School Employees’ Retirement System, affording him a life of leisure at age 62, Jones enjoyed advantages of long, hard hours of labor during his working years. He weathered trying times the first day on the job.

“The first day of football camp is always the hardest day of the year, but that first day I’ll remember forever. I didn’t know anything about fixing helmets and everybody and their mother wanted something.”

The initial years proved challenging for Jones because the district, at the time, was the only school that featured an artificial playing surface for its field. In addition to Carnegie Mellon University, Chartiers Valley, SetonLa Salle and Central Catholic were among the high schools that rented Mt. Lebanon Stadium. Additionally, the WPIAL used the site for playoff games.

Since CV and Lebo competed in the Western Conference, when the Colts played their home game with their host, the Blue Devils were deemed the visitors. “It was odd,” said Jones, who had to make the proper preparations for uniforms, the field and scoreboard.

“Weird,” he added of being the guests on their home field. “Our fans and our team had to be on the visitor’s side, the other side of the field, opposite the press box.”

Frustrating were the few losses and conflict scheduling during Jones’ early years as assistant AD. Between 1979 and 1984, Lebo won four WPIAL championships.

“The 1979 team was a great one with John Frank,” Jones said of the tight end that excelled at Ohio State and then for the Super Bowl San Francisco 49ers before becoming a doctor. Gateway upset Lebo, 16-0, in what was dubbed the “Mud Bowl” at Dormont Stadium.

The Gators went on to play Penn Hills in what Jones called the “best WPIAL championship game” and featured NFL standouts Bill Fralic and Tom Flynn. “The 1980 and 1981 teams were the best we ever had,” Jones said of the back-to-back champions that featured Schilken, Mark Hart, Chris Jelic and the Aldisert twins, Caesar and Richard, to name a few. “I’ll never forget when we were at Pitt Stadium playing Gateway in 1981 and they had just announced that our boys’ soccer team had just won the state title.”

Most of his early highlights surrounded football, but Jones recalled the 1997 girls’ state championship volleyball team coached

by Dawn Begor. “Boy could they play,” he said and noted how the Blue Devils also won WPIAL titles in 2000 and 2001. “Those were some terrific kids.”

The 1980’s also featured some of Jones’s favorite clubs. In 1989, led by Vee Hightower, the Blue Devils won the WPIAL soccer title and competed in the PIAA finals. Later in the winter, Hightower, who played baseball in the

Lebanon High School in addition to his duties as chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The two worked together for 30 years. Regarding the retirement of Jones, Dr. Fu said that the assistant athletics director was a bundle of energy. “Russ makes things happen,” Fu said. “I’m proud to know him. He’s the glue that held the sports complex together.”

“Russ bleeds ‘Blue N Gold’ and no matter what was going on, he gave fully of himself to the institution.

This institution is going to miss him.”

– Mike Agostinelli, Mt. Lebanon boys cross country coach

Chicago Cubs’ organization, led the basketball team to the state finals. Jones also recalled having to miss some events such as the Blue Devils’ 1987 semifinal WPIAL football playoff against Woodland Hills because Mt. Lebanon was the site for the North Hills vs. North Allegheny contest. He remembers a time, too, when the Tigers played afternoon games on Saturdays because they lacked lights at Carl Neuman Stadium in Wexford. In 1991, the Blue Devils knocked off the No. 1-ranked Tigers under Paul Kmec.

“It was hard when we played somewhere and I had to be at Mt. Lebanon because we hosted so many games. Plus, in the fall, there was always something going on.”

Saturdays were the longest days. They went long into the night. Jones would arrive as early as 7 a.m. because there would have a JV football or freshman game followed by a field hockey game and sometimes as many as four soccer games. Sunday was the only day off.

“It wasn’t just equipment, it was handling season ticket sales, opening concession stands and booths, but that all came with the territory,” Jones added without complaint. “Summers are the easiest. There is nothing like June. After the Fourth of July, everybody starts thinking football. Like at any other school, August is always a bear.”

As a youth or as an adult, winter brought no rest for Jones. During his teen years, he wrestled for Mt. Lebanon. His father, Dick, as-

As a grappler, Jones is part of Lebo’s storied history, which also includes 22 section and seven WPIAL team championships.

“When you think of Russ, you can’t help but think of his dad, Dick Jones. He was ahead of his time regarding training,” said Ron Schreiner, who coached the girls’ cross country team until his retirement last fall. “He was a special, caring person and Russ is in the same mold.

“As many years as I have known Russ, he’ll be remembered as one that was so respected, calm and amazing to work with. He always had everything worked out. The facilities and their availability. Once we went to the wrong field and Russ was able to straighten everything out for us,” continued Schreiner. “He was everyone’s friend. Not just the major sports. He understood what everybody needed. This was his life. The kids were first with him and so were the coaches.”

When Bill Lewis arrived in 1994 to coach the wrestling team and teach social studies at the high school, Jones was one of the first people he met in the athletic department. As a wrestler who won a WPIAL title and finished as a state runner-up, Lewis found Jones engaging.

“I loved talking to him. He knows so much about the good old days of wrestling at Mt.

thealmanac.net

Lebanon. The stories he tells from the Lamprinakos/Jones years are awesome. He can tell you the line-ups from the 1969 and 1972 teams. His memory is so uncanny.”

So is his loyalty. According to Lewis, Jones always attended home wrestling matches, even opened up the concession stands. “Whether directing teams to the locker room, checking on the refs and making sure they had hot water for their showers so they could get cleaned up when they were done, Russ was there,” Lewis said. “He was good to us over the years.

“The thing I’ll miss most about him are our talks about wrestling and Lebo sports, the lure and the laurels,” Lewis continued. “He’s been here so long. He represents what Lebo stands for. The pride in the program. The standards of excellence. He bridges the gap between the past and the present.”

His presence in the athletic office will surely be missed. “No. 1,” said Grogan, “I’ll miss how dependable Russ was. He has that rare quality.

You never had to worry about what he was doing. You knew he was doing what he was supposed to do.”

More than that, Grogan said he will miss the friendship he has forged over the 15 years with Jones. In fact, Grogan laughed and said that during his term as AD, he has seen Jones more than his wife. “We are friends,” he noted.

“More than anything, I’m going to miss those conversations.”

The two shared a passion for Pitt football and would quip how Pitt would break their hearts again each football season. After a long day at the office or a field site, the pair shared meals. “I’ll miss eating hoagies with Russ on Friday nights,” Grogan said.

All of Mt. Lebanon will miss Jones, said Lebo football skipper Mike Melnyk. “Irreplaceable,” he said. “His retirement leaves a huge hole.”

Jo Folino agreed. She worked in the athletic office as a secretary for 15 years and noted how Jones was an easy-going person who was willing to help in a pinch and always had a smile on his face. The two often worked behind the scenes putting the special touches on sports banquets, working with caterers, ordering flowers, picking up the cake and setting up.

“He did so many, many things and helped everybody. We will miss him and he will miss Lebo. This was a huge part of his life. He lived here,” Folino emphasized. “He opened up the place, kept the equipment and uniforms in great shape. There’s a lot that goes on that people don’t see or know about and he took care of all of it.”

According to Mike Agostinelli, Jones certainly took care of more than just the boys’ cross country team. In fact, Agostinelli knew Jones as a student, when he attended his driver’s education course. Agostinelli noted Jones’ work ethic and his success on the mats. “As a student, he always worked hard and as a wrestler, he was one of the good ones.

“Russ bleeds ‘Blue N Gold’ and no matter what was going on, he gave fully of himself to the institution. This institution is going to miss him,” said Agostinelli, then noted how Jones prepared the stadium for graduation. “Russ always made sure the equipment worked. He wrote definitive lists and inventoried everything. He was the staple in the athletic department.

“In his position, he met kids, adults and coaches from our school as well as other schools. He touched everybody and they all had good things, great things to say about him and the job he performed. It was a job well done.”

“World-wide, it’s growing,” said Muti, who earned a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University. “Every year, we have broken the record. When they break the record, it means the message has reached more people. So, it’s building awareness to a larger population.”

During the summer, particularly, the general populace vacations near a body of water.

“Whether it’s at the lake or the ocean or the local pool,” Muti said, “we want these kids to be comfortable and safe whenever they are around the water.”

Christina Mozes, 11-month-old baby girl, Rosemary, in her arms, had that objective in mind when she registered her 4-year-old son for the WLSL. Sam had two previous lessons at Bethel Park High School, but the Upper St. Clair resident was attending the event to acclimatize before vacation.

“This was a chance to get him used to the water because we are going to be around it a lot this summer,” said Mozes, whose family enjoys camping.

For Andrew Bricker of Canonsburg and Michael Witkowski of Cecil Township, WLSL was an opportunity to add a little more structuredlearning in their 5-year-old lives.

While Andrew was eager to participate, he was less than anxious to test deeper waters. “He isn’t afraid of the water,” said Lindsey Bricker, as her son clung to her side at the start of the lesson. “He wanted to be in the water, but this was just too deep for him.

“I wanted to get him used to swimming,” continued the C&RC member. “I’d like him to learn how to swim and have lessons, but he’s used to doing what he wants to do.”

Meanwhile, Michael wants to keep swimming but he is unsure whether he wants to grow up to become an Olympian. He says he likes to play basketball in the winter. “Yes,” he said. “I love the water. My dad just called me his little water bug,” he added.

Meaghan and Michael Witkowski were equally pleased with their son’s enthusiasm.

“He has had swim lessons before, but putting his head underneath the water is an issue,” said Meaghen. “We wanted him to have more formal instruction for safety reasons.”

Brianna and Jacob Meliton’s reasons for attending WLSL were purely pleasure.

“We like swimming. We love the water,” said the 5-year-old siblings.

Sam Mozes, 4, takes a leap off the pool ledge with a little assistance from instructor Annie Cavrich while Michael Witkowski and Brianna Meliton await their turn during the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson held at the Community and Recreation Center in Upper St. Clair.

“I liked making bubbles,” Brianna said of the exercise that helped simulate the breathing technique utilized in the freestyle.

“I liked making the cake,” said Jacob referring to Anne Cavrich’s and Jen Carothers’s method of getting their students to put their heads under the water.

Regardless, Kim Meliton was pleased with the results of the lesson.

“It’s good to immerse them at a young age in swimming because you are always around water at some point in your life,” said the twins’ mother. “In the summer particularly, everyone is around water and attending a few lessons and learning the basics gives you a good start.”

Whether young or old, C&RC is a good place to start incorporating swimming into one’s lifestyle. USC offers many group swim lessons.

There are four levels for the pre-school kids, two levels for the infants and six levels for the youths, as well as plenty of private sessions.

“Our success rate has been incredible,” Muti said. “That’s why we keep getting people to come back. They don’t just stop when their kid is able to jump in the water and go back to the wall. They keep coming back and learning more and keep their kids in the water. It’s amazing to see.”

For adults, USC offers private lessons. There are three levels of instruction: adult learn-toswim, intermediate fitness swim and a fitness swim. “We have a wide range,” Muti said. “We actually do get a lot of adults who come because their children take the swim lessons. They realize ‘wow, I never learned how to swim like that’ and ‘I have to be safe in the water, too.’”

Terry Virtue resigns as C-M hockey coach Canon-McMillan ice hockey coach Terry Virtue has resigned to pursue other opportunities He is relocating to the Worchester, Mass., area, where he is a member of the Worchester Hockey Hall of Fame and has a long and storied career from his playing days.

Virtue had a 28-14-2 record in his two seasons at the helm of the C-M program, including capturing the second Penguins Cup championship in the organization’s history. The Big Macs won their first title in 2010 before adding another trophy in March.

“The strides and improvement the team made down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs is a tribute to the hard work and leadership of Coach Virtue,” said Jeff Rhoads, president of the C-M Hockey Association. “The players embraced Terry’s system and game planning, which led to our Penguins Cup victory. We cannot thank him enough for the past two seasons, and wish him nothing but success as he embarks on a new chapter of his hockey career,” added Rhoads.

The CMHA’s board of directors has begun an immediate search for a replacement. Email canonmachockey@outlook.com for additional information.

UPPER ST. CLAIR

A: Until recently, real estate agents always

represented the Seller, not the Buyer, in real estate transactions. Even the real estate agent who drove from house to house looking at properties was not working on your behalf. By law the agent was always required to get the highest price and best terms possible - for the Seller! Recent market developments have caused all of this to change. You can now have an agent specifically committed to representing you, “The Buyer”, from the initial selection of the properties to the contract negotiations and then to the settlement table! Whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced buyer it is good to know that your real estate agent has your best interest in mind as you select a home!

Country living at its best! You must see the setting of this 4 bedroom 2 story on a beautiful acre! Formal living room and dining room. Fully equipped kitchen with pantry and center island, family room with fireplace. Great sun room and deck!

Two car garage and great basement for storage or could be finished for game room.

He has performed alongside the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, illustrating “Carnival of the Animals,” and Wos will continue to broaden that partnership in July, when he illustrates “The Waltzing Cat” and other selections.

His love for this art form drove Wos to found the ToonSeum, a museum of comic and cartoon art based in Pittsburgh, and he served as its volunteer director for seven years. In October, he stepped down to return to his cartooning career.
