Kick off football season with the 2015 preview edition, featuring area high school and college teams, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Peters Township officials are negotiating a potential gas lease with EQT Inc. about a gas well it is planning to build in a neighboring township.

EQT’s planned well project is on Lutes Road in Nottingham Township – approximately a quarter mile from Peters – just off Venetia Road. Peters officials said EQT plans to do horizontal drilling at the site, which means drilling activities could take place underneath township land.

“We have obtained a quote from EQT and are negotiating,” said Michael Silvestri, Peters Township manager. “I don’t know if council will accept a lease or not.”

Silvestri said the township is in talks with EQT Inc. because the well site is not in the township.

The EQT project itself is still in the planning stages, said Linda Robertson, EQT’s media relations and brand manager. According to Nottingham Township, EQT wants to construct a well pad and drilling facility that would accommodate 24 wells. EQT owns the drilling leases on nearly 68 acres of land on Lutes Road and has said it owns the contiguous R-1 properties.

“In order to maintain lasting and mutually beneficial partnerships, EQT always works diligently to respect the communities in which we operate and cultivate those ongoing relationships, as is the case with Peters and all townships where we work,” Robertson said.

To date, there are no gas wells in Peters, but there are active wells in neighboring townships. Earlier this year, Peters formed a committee of township officials, along with council and planning commission members

Bleier FROM PAGE 1 So perhaps it was natural that Collier suggested a play instead of a book, with Bleier playing Bleier.

“The more I go through this, the more I read this, the more I memorize this, I’m thinking to myself, ‘Wow!’ Gene really did capture feelings I had but didn’t know how to say,” he says.

“The Play” – they opted for the simplest title possible – sets Bleier’s life against the backdrop of the era in which he grew up and found fame, first as a star running back at Notre Dame.

“The ’60s, specifically, in my college years, there was a whole upheaval of a movement that was taking place,” he says, referencing such cultural occurrences as the civil rights movement, student protests and the Vietnam War. Vietnam, of course, is where Bleier’s football career almost came to an end, when he took more than 100 pieces of shrapnel in his foot. His extreme resilience, though, brought him back to the Steelers in time for the team’s unmatched run of four Super Bowls in six years, a subject he addresses prominently in “The Play.” “What brought that core of people together and allowed them to stay together to get the most out of everybody that was on the team?”

to explore the possibility of natural gas drilling in the municipality.

The township is also in the process of revamping its zoning ordinance. Because of changes in state law, Peters must eliminate its Mineral Overlay District, which would have allowed natural gas drilling in 15 areas of the township, all zoned residential. The proposed changes to its zoning laws could be ready for adoption by either spring or summer 2016.

“We anticipate that someone will eventually submit an application to drill in the township and that is why we are looking at our ordinance for revision,” Silvestri said.

replacement.”

The commission at its Sept. 8 meeting is expected to approve the hiring of a firm to conduct a national search for a new manager.

A similar process took place when Wilmer Baldwin resigned in 2001. Feller, who had been a Maryland Port Authority administrator, was selected to return to Mt. Lebanon, where he served as assistant manager for six years during the 1980s.

“We decided pretty quickly that we want to cast a broad net and find the best fit for Mt. Lebanon,” Bendel explained.

He complimented Feller’s work.

“He’s a good person and comes from a good place,” he said. “Add on top his experience, and he really has been a steady hand for us. We’re going to miss him.”

Feller is the third top administrator the municipality has had to replace in 2015, following the retirements of public works director Tom Kelley in January and police Chief Coleman McDonough in May. They were supplanted internally by Rudy Sukal and Aaron Lauth, respectively.

“We’ve been fortunate. We’ve been selecting individuals who are bringing new energy and ideas. We’re very happy with them,” Bendel said. “Sometimes, change is good.”

Fresh vegetables are no longer here for them.

Watching a meteor shower and learning science is no longer suggested here.

Deer traipse through my property at any time of the day or night, nibbling while standing next to the expensive deer stakes advertised to scare them away. Don’t suggest repellents to me – after years of expenditures I could ill afford.

I have almost hit them while driving my car.

Deer responsible for road construction Any keen Almanac reader will guess why every road in Mt. Lebanon is being mended at the moment. It’s all the fault of the roaming hordes of deer. Deprived of their usual feeding grounds when the township decided to replace all the grass in Mt. Lebanon with artificial turf, they have taken to eating the roads.

Anyone owning a mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer – basically any form of technology – has likely had the unfortunate experience of being told that their phone/computer/tablet is “outdated.”

Of course, it’s eventually bound to happen as new products come onto the market and as technology improves. But the shelf life for something to remain current is getting shorter and shorter.

Take, for example, the situation facing students at the University of Pittsburgh. The university recently updated its Wi-Fi, bringing speeds of 5Ghz with it. But, there’s one caveat – students with devices a mere 18 months or older will be unable to access the new, faster wireless network, and will have to suffer with a 2.4Ghz connection speed.

The reason? The wireless cards in devices older than a year and a half are outdated.

Ironically, some people are still forced into keeping a cell phone for at least two years in order to fulfill the terms of a contract.

It seems like we just can’t keep up. As soon as we get used to the iPhone 6, announcements and speculation begin for the iPhone 6s (which will likely be officially unveiled at Apple’s Sept. 9 media event).

As soon as we learn how to maneuver through Windows 10, we will likely be hit with something all together different – Microsoft claims that Windows 10 is the last version of Windows. But, what’s next?

Fitbit? Who needs a Fitbit when you can have all of its capabilities and many, many more in an Apple Watch?

It’s not so much the learning curve that is bothersome, it’s the money that we have to spend to remain up to date with technology.

New devices, new hardware, new software, new – and of course, necessary – apps ... it all comes with a price.

And when you can’t get a simple part for a three-year old computer, those prices add up quickly.

correction In the Aug. 26 issue, it was reported that Connor Schwartz, 17, of Stratford Drive, McMurray, hit two cars in a traffic accident Aug. 19 at the intersection of West McMurray and Washington roads.

Almanac/VFW outing aids ambulance service

Scott

By Suzanne Elliott

Commissioner William Wells urged prudent management of the money, saying he didn’t think “it was a good idea to put the cash into the stock market now” due to the recent fluctuations the market has been experiencing.

Chartiers Enterprises, Inc. was granted final approval to consolidate 11 lots in Ward 6 and begin construction of a new headquarters for Atlas Wholesale.

Commissioners voted to appoint Jim Mykita emergency management coordinator, replacing Jerry Butts. The coordinator position is activated in the event of an emergency like flooding or severe snow storms where a state of emergency is declared, according to township manager Denise Fitzgerald.

In accordance with a compliance audit by the auditor general, the commissioners passed a motion to restore $156,000 to the pension fund that had been paid to former police chief Stanley Butkus. Commissioner Wells recommended contacting Butkus and asking him to pay the township back the funds.

The meeting concluded with Mt. Lebanon resident Barbara Sollenberger updating the commissioners on Mt. Lebanon’s plan to begin culling the deer population. Sollenberger recommended Scott residents get “Not in My Yard” lawn signs from the Coalition for Coexistence to alert hunters they aren’t permitted on private land.

The Almanac/VFW Golf Classic, benefitting the VFW Post 764 Ambulance Service in McMurray, is slated for Sept. 14 at the Fort Cherry Golf Club in McDonald.

The tournament, which has been going on for more than 20 years now, is the chief fundraiser for the VFW Post 764 ambulance service, the only such service still owned by a VFW. Last year’s event raised approximately $10,000 for the service, said Scott Huenefeld, the post commander and event chairman.

“This is something we believe in,” said Judi Smith, circulation director for The Almanac.

“We started the event years ago.”

The ambulance service, formed in 1963, was started following a fatal automobile accident on Route 19, near Upper St. Clair High School. A drunk driver swerved into oncoming traffic, causing an accident that took the lives of a Peters Township firefighter and his two teenage children who were returning home from a birthday party, according to a history of VFW Post 764 ambulance service. No ambulances from neighboring communities were dispatched to the accident, which caused public uproar and led to the formation of the service.

The service was staffed by volunteers until 1987, when they became paid employees,

Twenty-three foursomes have signed up for the Sept. 14 golf tournament, Smith said. Registration for a foursome is $340, $85 for one and

Community gardeners put on a show at Boyce Gardens

By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealamanac.net

While surveying her plot at Upper St. Clair’s Boyce Gardens, Barbara Rozen made what very well could be a standard annual observation.

“Some things are good, some things are bad this year,” she said, taking a look at what might be good to put on display.

From the looks of what she and other green thumbers showed off Aug. 22 during the annual gardeners’ fair at Boyce, the good seems to have outweighed the bad when it comes to growing vegetables in 2015.

“This year, I have a nice variety of hot peppers,” said Todd Anderson, who, with wife Nancy, has been working a plot at the community gardens for the past seven years. “It depends on the weather, how everything comes out.”

The Boyce Road Gardeners, as they’ve called themselves since the ’70s, navigated their way through too much rain through mid-July, and not quite enough since, to come up with an impressive variety of produce for Saturday’s fair.

Sandy Feather, Penn State Extension educator and horticulturist, was on hand to judge the entries and provide plenty of information for people looking to make their thumbs even greener.

“There are people who have been doing this pretty much forever,” said Phyllis Kender.

HARRY FUNK / STAFF

Brigid O’Malley, 7, of Upper St. Clair picks cherry tomatoes at Boyce Gardens.

She is one of them, starting way back when the community garden area was formed from what once served as part of the farm serving nearby Mayview State Hospital.

Her husband, Jerry, is president of the Boyce Road Gardeners, which is set up as a nonprofit corporation to administer the gardening area.

Each year, area residents pay a $5 membership fee and tend to 40-by-40-foot plots near the corner of Boyce and Morton roads, at the southeast edge of Boyce Mayview Park.

“It’s a lot of fun, and the people who enjoy gardening, they come back every year,” said Kender, who also has been returning annually since the late ’70s. “You have to enjoy it, because sometimes the weeds get ahead of you.”

HARRY FUNK / STAFF

Natalia Disora, 7, shows off a ripe tomato.

A walk around the community garden shows that most of the gardeners have been diligent in ensuring that the weeds don’t win.

Many of the plots boast healthy crops to whet the appetites of those who appreciate a tasty vegetable.

Speaking of which, a grill was going during the gardeners’ fair, producing a variety of epicurean delights.

Also benefiting from the garden is the food pantry at St. Winifred Roman Catholic Church in Mt. Lebanon, which twice a week receives produce to help replenish the kitchens of area families in need.

HARRY FUNK / STAFF

Jerry Kender takes a look at what the gardeners have grown this season.

During gardening season – everything must be cleared out by the end of October – Kender is working at his avocation practically every day.

“I’ll tell my wife, ‘I’m going over to the garden for about an hour,’” he said. “And two hours later, she’s calling and asking, ‘Is something wrong?’ I’m just enjoying myself.”

back to school

South Hills school districts welcome back students

By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

Bird was the word as surprised students showed up for the first day of school last week at Bethel Park’s Memorial Elementary.

Greeting them was the Bethel Park Blackhawk, taking a break from being a sports mascot to be start-the-year-right ambassador.

As students high-fived the Hawk on their way into the building, their neighbors in Upper St. Clair also were reporting to class.

At Eisenhower Elementary School, thirdgrade teachers Becky Kabala and Liz LaLomia greeted students with getting-to-knoweach-other activities, including “friends bingo” and “the color dot game.”

For students in Mt. Lebanon and Peters Township school districts, the new year started Monday.

Moms, dads and little brothers and sisters accompanied students who walked to Foster Elementary School in Mt. Lebanon, as everyone gathered in back of the building to exchange greetings beforehand, with the weather fully cooperating.

And later in the day, students were settling in as they learned or were reminded of the cafeteria rules in preparation for a definite highlight: lunch!

“Project Playground is an app that I created really out of a problem that I experience as a teacher,” Unger told the board. “What it is, is an assessment tool for teachers and students.

We want to help younger students develop self-awareness, not just of how they’re acting in a group, but how they’re interacting with students also in their group.”

Unger’s app will send students questions at the end of each lesson about what they did in class that day – not what they learned, but what ideas they shared and how they interacted with other students. Teachers will receive the data and will be able to adjust their lessons and group assignments to make sure each student is in an optimum learning environment.

“It’s really to help the teacher help his or her students work together,” Unger said.

The school board conditionally approved the app’s trial in classrooms barring minor revisions to the contract offered on Aug. 25.

“It could be something that really revolutionizes how teachers are able to use projectbased learning in grouping the students in much more powerful ways,” board member Jennifer Iriti said. “Very strategic grouping that could become a mainstay in education.”

Unger and director of technology and innovation Aileen Owens were invited to do a presentation titled “The Innovators of Tomorrow: Transforming K-12 Education through the Maker Movement” at the World Maker Faire in New York City in September.

Grant program provides funding for Jewish initiatives South Hills Jewish Pittsburgh, the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh’s South Hills Community Engagement Initiative, is now providing grant funding for projects that reflect its vision of a vibrant, interconnected, inspired and engaged South Hills Jewish community.

During the next year, its 20-member Community Council will award a minimum of $55,000 in grant funds to applicants including institutions, organizations or individuals.

A successful grant application will demonstrate the proposed project’s ability to create opportunities for Jewish individuals living in the South Hills to connect with each other and with community agencies. The rolling grant program enables the Community Council to accept proposals throughout the year and award grants on a quarterly basis. The Council oversight ensures that the awarded grant fits the organization’s mission and will benefit the community.

Larger grants, typically in the range of $2,000-$5,000, will be awarded primarily to institutions and organizations. Individuals are encouraged to apply for a micro grant (up to $500) for programs or events such as community Shabbat dinners, book clubs, holiday celebrations, speakers, and so on.

To apply for a grant, visit southhillsjewishpittsburgh.org. For more information, contact Rob Goodman, director of South Hills Jewish Pittsburgh, at 412-697-6646.

Teach For America has announced that four Mt. Lebanon area locals have been accepted into the organization’s 2015 teaching corps.

Teach For America is a national nonprofit working to expand educational opportunity for students in low-income communities. Corps members commit to teach in high-need urban or rural public schools and become life-long advocates for educational equity.

The locals are Angelina Liberi, a graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School and Chatham University; Natalie Honkala, a graduate of The Ellis School and Vanderbilt University; and Jessica Stickel, a South Liberi Fayette High School and Allegheny College graduate.

“The teachers that I had at Mt. Lebanon were a huge influence on my decision to apply to Teach For America,” said Honkala. “In fact, I specifically wanted to teach middle Honkala school science - my placement for the fall - because of the incredible seventh-grade teacher that I had at Mellon Middle School. She recognized potential in me that I couldn’t even see yet and encouraged me to continue studying science at Stickel higher educational levels.”

In our country’s lowest-income communities, just 6 percent of students will graduate college by the time they’re 25. These women join a network of 50,000 corps members and alumni working alongside parents, principals and communities for positive change.

“It is with incredible excitement we welcome this group of remarkable and diverse corps members,” said Elisa Villanueva Beard, coCEO of Teach For America. “They join a group of 50,000 leaders who have raised their hand to be part of ensuring every child has access to an excellent and equitable education.”

Over the past 25 years, thousands of individuals have launched or continued careers in social justice through Teach For America. Hundreds of corps members and alumni have been honored as teachers of the year by their school, district, county or state. More founders and leaders of entrepreneurial education organizations started careers with TFA than from any other organization or company. Alumni have gone on to become leaders in politics, school systems, nonprofit work and more. Together, they form a network helping to expand and strengthen the movement to give all kids access to a great education.

Turn on the lights: Friday night football is here

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

After summer workouts, a week of heat acclimatization and two weeks of training camp, the 2015 high school football season kicks off Sept.

4. Players and coaches alike are ready.

“It’s finally here,” said Greg Perry, who is in his second season as head coach at Keystone Oaks High School. “After a long dress rehearsal, the show starts.”

And, it will be quite a show as nationallyranked Central Catholic pays a visit to Bethel Park, Peters Township travels to equally-acclaimed Woodland Hills, and Upper St. Clair plays host to Penn Hills in a pivotal Southeastern Conference match-up. All games are set to start at 7:30 p.m.

“Part of me wishes we had another scrimmage,” said Jim Render, who enters his 47th season at the helm at USC. The Panthers scrimmage Franklin Regional as well as North Hills during the preseason and have shown progress, says Render. “But, we have been running some of the stuff (Penn Hills does) the last couple of weeks in practice. We know what we want to do. It’s a matter of can we do it.”

USC’s primary objective on Friday night will be stopping the Indians on offense. The multifaceted system features Billy Kisner. The senior already made a verbal commitment to Toledo but Pitt could enter the picture if Kisner has a good defensive year. A two-year starter at quarterback, Kisner amassed more than 2,000 rushing and 925 passing yards during that span. In 2014, he helped Penn Hills tie Woodland Hills for the conference championship. Both finished 6-1 in the league.

“First of all,” Render began, “(Kisner) has a lot of experience. Second, he has a lot of talent.

“Penn Hills runs the same offense and they are good at it,” Render added. “So, we have to be able to play good defense and run to the football and be good tacklers.”

Defense will indeed play a factor in the outcome of the contest. So too will USC’s offense, operated by Jackson Geisler. The junior signal caller filled in for the injured Dan Trocano in the playoffs, finishing with four completions for 21 yards in a 24-0 loss to North Allegheny.

Sophomore Jack Hansberry is a talented backup and Gunnar Lund, who will be utilized as an H-back in the offense, can run the offense, particularly in the red zone, scoring three rushing TDs and passing for another in 2014.

The Panthers also feature tailback Thomas Vissman and wide receiver Doug Wagner.

BY ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

Thomas Vissman carries the football as Upper St. Clair focuses on a rushing drill during pre-season training camp. The junior, who rushed for 855 yards and six touchdowns last season, is expected to be one of the big ground gainers in the WPIAL this fall.

Vissman rushed for 855 yards and six scores last season while Wagner caught 25 passes for 407 yards and two TDs. Up front, Geisler will be well protected.

Brandon Ford and Gabe Houy, both Pitt recruits, as well as Ryan Harkleroad, Matt Fennell, Jay Pollack, Jay Miller, Nick Kartsonas and Jordan Rust return a wealth of experience to the line.

With temperatures to hover near 90 by game time, conditioning will factor into the outcome.

Weather is a concern for Render, although he says that he has run into heat issues for years.

When USC opened at Woodland Hills two years ago, the Panthers outlasted the Wolverines in a game played in high temperatures.

“As coaches, you have worked on getting some depth ready to play. You’ve got to have other people ready to play, not necessarily your designated starters,” Render said. “Sometimes those linemen, who weigh upwards of 300 pounds, need a rest.”

Bethel Park doesn’t have that luxury as they list 52 players on its roster, 21 of them sophomores, as they prepare to face Central Catholic. The Vikings, who list 90 players on their roster, enter the season rated No. 22 in the country in one national poll.

Defensive end Rashad Wheeler and wide out/safety Bricen Garner are committed to Pitt.

Peters prepared to carry on winning soccer tradition

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Head games begin

BY ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

The 2015 high school soccer season commences Sept. 4. The Peters Township boys begin defense of their WPIAL and PIAA titles at 7:30 p.m. at home against Sewickley Academy. The Canon-McMillan girls, who were PIAA runners-up, will travel to Bethel Park for a 12:30 p.m. match on Sept. 5. Pictured is Noah Zajickek (No. 33) of Chartiers Valley. He heads the ball away from a South Fayette defender during a pre-season scrimmage. The Colts compete in Section 5 with Peters Township. They begin their season at home against Baldwin at 8 p.m. Sept. 4. The Lions, who reached the Final Four in the PIAA tournament last fall, will tackle Kiski School at 6 p.m. Sept. 5 in their home opener.

Seniors may graduate at Peters Township High School but tradition doesn’t, particularly regarding the men’s soccer program. Since 1987, the Indians have captured nine WPIAL titles. They have appeared in six state championship contests, claiming PIAA first-place trophies in four of those finals.

According to Bobby Dyer, who has played or coached in eight of those gold-medal games, the history of the program is one drawing card as the players wait to leave their mark. So, despite the loss of eight starters from last year’s WPIAL and PIAA championship clubs, the goals remain the same. Winning is the objective.

“We want to make the playoffs and adjust from there,” said Dyer, who earned WPIAL and Pennsylvania Coach of the Year honors after last year’s 22-2 season.

Just getting out of the Section 5-AAA is always the immediate aim as history has shown that to be a challenge. Last year, the lone losses for the Indians came at the hands of rival Upper St. Clair. Peters finished runner-up to the Panthers with an 8-2 slate.

Of the Panthers, Dyer predicted, they will be the toughest section opponents along with Canon-McMillan, Moon and Chartiers Valley.

But to win their third straight district title, the Panthers must not only make it through the section, they must do so with just three returning starters: midfielders Matt Massucci and Brady Pike as well as Kelson Marisa, who excelled on a defense that recorded 19 shutouts and surrendered six goals last season.

Gone is the productive scoring tandem of Mario and Nicco Mastrangelo. The twins matriculated to St. Francis University. Mario contributed 25 goals and seven assists to the offensive attack while Nicco supplied 23 tallies and six assists. Sophomore forward Bryce Gabelhart will be one of the players expected to pick up the slack on offense.

While Sam Lindsay will be expected to help Marisa fill the holes on defense created by the graduation of Josh Deyarmin, Sean Har-

“We have depth and a great work rate. Those should be our team strengths but our lack of experience could work against us.”

Bobby Dyer, PT soccer coach

rison and Jake Valley, Bennett Falloni will help shore up the midfield, which lost Dylan Wyers, Ryan Ponchione and Rylen Faloni to graduation.

Matt Stuck, Luke Kelly, Rex Heuler, Chase Sierra, Jacob Dumas, Phil Davis, Justin Gamble, Jesse Harker, Tyler Ulrich, Tom O’Hare, Andrew Parker and Joe Richetti are other newcomers, which Dyer expects to plug in to fill gaps caused by graduation. Harker, Ulrich, O’Hare, Parker and Richetti should make key contributions in substitute roles, says Dyer.

“We have depth and a great work rate,” Dyer said. “Those should be our team strengths but our lack of experience could work against us.”

So the plans to repeat for the third year in a row as WPIAL champion and to defend the PIAA title are simple for the Indians. In order to duplicate last year’s success, Dyer said the Indians have to “outwork every opponent and grow with every game.”

The growth period begins the Labor Day weekend as Peters Township hosts Sewickley Academy at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 4 and Central Catholic Sept. 5 at 6:30 p.m. The Indians also host Mt. Lebanon at 8 p.m. Sept. 8 before taking to the road to face Bethel Park at 7:30 p.m.

A: A comparative market analysis is an evaluation

of your property performed by a licensed real estate agent or broker. This CMA is not to be confused with an appraisal. I offer a Free Market analysis to potential clients. There is a meeting at the property to allow me to view the property a few things we take into consideration are the size, condition, and location of the property also any updates and upgrades that may affect the value.

Then we do our research. Looking for all of the comparable sales that have occurred typically within the past 12 months and with a close proximity to the subject property. The research allows us to complete a report giving a range of value that the property is likely to sell with in. Again this CMA is not an appraisal. Agents and Brokers perform these comparative market analysis in the hopes that we would be chosen to list the property for market and sale should the client decide to do so.
