Mt. Lebanon commissioners on Sept. 8 authorized an archery hunt for municipal deer management while moving forward on potential sharpshooting and fertility control programs.

The 4-1 vote to proceed with the bow program means it is scheduled to start Sept. 19, the first day of archery season in the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Wildlife Management Unit 2B, which includes Allegheny County. The hunt is contracted with Connecticut conserva-

tion organization White Buffalo Inc. Commissioner Kelly Fraasch, long an opponent of lethal means to control the deer population, voted against the authorization.

She also opposed two Bendel measures that could lead the way to bringing sharpshooters to cull deer in Mt. Lebanon for the first time since 2008.

By 3-2 votes – Dave Brumfield joined Fraas-

ch – commissioners instructed municipal staff members to apply with the Game Commission for a political subdivision permit to allow for the use of suppressed rifles with high-expansion ammunition, and to issue a request for proposal for a program to use such equipment.

Commissioner Coleen Vuono said her hope was to have proposals ready for action when she and her colleagues next meet, on Sept. 28.

A vote on a proposal is expected to take place instead at the Oct. 13 meeting.

Vuono and Steve Silverman opposed the municipality submitting a proposal to the Humane SEE DEER PAGE 3

Sterilization another option for Mt. Lebanon

By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

Along with an imminent archery hunt and the possibility of using sharpshooters, Mt. Lebanon is investigating nonlethal means of lowering the number of deer locally.

Commissioners on Sept. 8 approved the municipality submitting a proposal to the Humane Society of the United States and the Dietrich W. Botsiber Foundation for funding to support a fertility control and sterilization project. The foundation, based in Delaware County, supports animal welfare programs among its philanthropies.

“What we are proposing is to conduct a study in Mt. Lebanon on the efficacy of using surgical sterilization to stabilize and reduce the deer population over time,” Stephanie Boyles Griffin, Humane Society senior director and wildlife biologist, told commissioners by telephone during their discussion session prior to the Sept. 8 regular meeting.

Kristen Tullo, the society’s Pennsylvania state director, said her organization seeks Mt. Lebanon’s commitment toward securing per-

mitting from the Pennsylvania Game Commission and providing access to sites where deer are likely to be found.

To date, the game commission has not approved any type of sterilization program in the state.

“They’ve reiterated on numerous occasions, they basically have to have a proposal submitted to their biologist for review and decide whether or not it’s good enough science” to issue a permit, according to Tony DeNicola, president of White Buffalo Inc., who also spoke by telephone.

His Connecticut-based organization has been contracted for Mt. Lebanon’s archery services and also has worked with deer sterilization programs in other states. One in Cayuga Heights, N.Y., resulted in lowering the population 20 percent in two consecutive years, he said.

“If we treat nearly 95 to 100 percent of females in the community, I would have good confidence that within the five-year time period, you could see a 50 percent population reduction,” DeNicola told commissioners.

The vote to authorize the municipal proposal was 3-2, with Coleen Vuono and Steve Sil-

nor Road, and McNeilly, Robb Hollow and Twin Hills parks. Police officers will be the only hunters permitted on municipal property.

Maddock said White Buffalo has identified about 18 “property groups” – areas in which multiple owners have given permission to hunt – and that about six of those will be ready for the first day of archery season.

He does not have a quantity of deer that are supposed to be taken.

“To me, the goal has to be this year of making sure this program is going to be continued and sustainable,” he told commissioners.

The commission’s stated goal is to reduce the number of deer-vehicle collisions in Mt. Lebanon within five years.

“We finally are moving forward with the first step of a comprehensive deer management program and it looks as if we eventually will have a multi-pronged approach,” said Susan Morgans, municipal spokeswoman.

verman opposing. They cited concerns about staff members devoting time to the project while the municipality is pursuing other methods of deer management.

“Perhaps this is something we could be thinking two, three, four, five years from now, once we have the problem that we have under control,” Vuono said.

Commissioner Kelly Fraasch, who consistently has opposed lethal means of population control, spoke about the Humane Society’s efforts on behalf of Mt. Lebanon with regard to an alternative.

“They came up with a funding source for us,” she said. “I mean, I don’t know what else we want, besides it being wrapped in a pretty package and handed to us at this point.”

She pointed out that the commission has been looking into the possibility of a nonlethal program for years.

“Since 2012, there are other communities that are moving ahead in other states because they’ve heard about this method from us,” Fraasch said. “We could have actually started this a year or two years ago and been in the forefront of this.”

They contended that support for the venture might detract from the other means being pursued with regard to staff efforts, especially with Steve Feller announcing his resignation as municipal manager, effective in mid-October.

John Bendel, commission president, voted in favor of the archery program, the two measures related to sharpshooting and the effort

involved in pursuing fertility control.

Fraasch also proposed that the municipality conduct a survey to get a better gauge about residents’ opinions regarding deer, but she was outvoted, 4-1.

During two hours of public comment at the meeting, opinion was split down the middle.

Among some 30 residents who spoke, half said they favor lethal means of controlling the local deer population, while the others oppose any killing.

No specific number has been set regarding White Buffalo’s goal of animals taken.

The contract is for an amount not to exceed $15,460.

Keep the fingers crossed that, yes, this is the year that the weather will cooperate.

The weather didn’t exactly cooperate, though, for Bethel Park Community Day on Saturday. Precipitation moved in overnight, and rather than battle the potential for particularly nasty elements, organizers decided to cancel the parade that was supposed to precede the main event.

Not to worry, though. Armed with umbrellas, decked out in ponchos – some of them just ignored the rain – hundreds of Bethel Parkers turned out for music, food and fun.

Hey, the thermometer could have been topping 90. And that kind of heat is something to keep the fingers crossed against, too.

Deer divide Mt. Lebanon

letters to the editor Archery hunt will not be pretty

ous, slow death. That will be the fate of the deer in Mt. Lebanon, and what kind of message does that teach our children?

As a resident of Mt. Lebanon, I am shocked and appalled that the commissioners have selected archery hunting over a fully-funded sterilization program proposed by the head of the PA Humane Society of the United States.

Mt. Lebanon has a denser population than Fox Chapel or Upper St. Clair, where other deer culling methods have been in place for some time.

The commissioners had a duty to select a safe method, not only for the residents, but for pets and children as well. When deer start running into traffic with arrows sticking out of them, it won’t be a pretty sight.

As evidenced by the front page of this newspaper, the deer saga in Mt. Lebanon continues.

After last year’s failed trap and bolt attempt – a mere six deer were killed in 11 days, a far cry from the projected 150 – the municipality brought in “Deer Doctor” Sandy Baker to advise on the issue back in April. Things were quiet on the deer front until recently, as Mt. Lebanon commissioners at the Sept. 8 meeting authorized a contract with White Buffalo Inc. for an archery hunt in an attempt to curb the deer population.

At the same meeting, commissioners also voted to apply with the Game Commission for a political subdivision permit to allow for the use of suppressed rifles with high-expansion ammunition and to submit a proposal to the Humane Society of the United States and the Dietrich W. Botstiber Foundation for funding Whether you to support a deer agree with the fertility control and sterilization methods being project. employed or The deer not, whether management issue has deeply you believe divided the comthere is a munity – those problem or not, with gardens there needs to that deer have ruined are for be a resolution. the measures, those who have been involved in traffic accidents caused by deer are also for the measures. However, those opposed to the cull will passionately tell you that there is no deer problem, and they will also present evidence that culling the deer is not going to solve the problem – that in fact, a cull could produce the opposite effect as deer over-populate to counter the effects of the cull.

The residents of Mt. Lebanon are serious about the deer issue, regardless of where they stand on it.

It is our hope that something, anything, works. Whether you agree with the methods being employed or not, whether you believe there is a problem or not, there needs to be a resolution.

The amount of time, money and effort going to combat Mt. Lebanon deer is off the charts. Once the deer issue goes away, commissioners and residents in Mt. Lebanon will be free to discuss other issues, repair relationships, and hopefully move forward as a united community.

police beat BETHEL PARK Robbery and assault: Jeremy Montcerisier, 19, of Upper St. Clair was arrested Sept. 6 and charged with robbery, assault and retail theft.

According to police, Montcerisier assaulted a loss prevention officer as he tried to leave Best Buy on Alicia Drive.

Pharmacy burglarized: Bethel Park police are investigating a burglary at Spartan Pharmacy, 3400 South Park Road, that occurred in the early morning hours of Sept. 4.

Store surveillance footage showed two white males, each wearing hooded sweatshirts with the hoods up, entering Spartan Pharmacy

through the front door. The two proceeded to the back of the pharmacy where they removed an undetermined amount of controlled prescription narcotics. Police did not identify the suspects, or amount of drugs that were taken by the burglars. Police said one of the suspect’s sweatshirt said “If MY P.O. ASKS I HANG DRY WALL.” The two men exited through the rear of the pharmacy and fled in an unknown direction.

Equipment stolen: Robert Henderson told police that $1,500 in lawn equipment was taken Sept. 9 from his vehicle while work was being done in Grandview Farms. The incident remains under investigation.

MT. LEBANON Child pornography: Agents from the Office of Attorney General’s Child Predator Section on Sept. 9 arrested a Mt. Lebanon man and charged him with distributing and possessing child pornography.

According to the criminal complaint, Brian A. Bruder, 42, of 1150 Lakemont Drive, used a computer to download and share sexually graphic images of children. Mt. Lebanon police helped execute a search warrant at Bruder’s residence and, along with child predator section agents, seized an external hard drive and laptop computer, according to the attorney

general’s office, which stated that a preliminary review of the devices by agents from the office’s computer forensics unit revealed several files indicative of child pornography.

Bruder was placed under arrest and charged with two counts of distribution of child pornography, 18 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.

A preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 17.

PETERS TOWNSHIP Fleeing and eluding: Police arrested Benjamin Farkas, 20, of Elm Drive, McMurray, Sept. 13 and charged him with violating a

dent but strongly denied any sexual activities had taken place. He admitted he had been infatuated with her …,” the report states. The federation presented evidence that there was no record of any allegations of inappropriate relationships between Whalen and any student when he taught in Virginia, Iowa or at Peters Township.

Peters Township School District argues in its petition that “returning a teacher to the classroom who admittedly engaged in a romantic relationship with a student half his age contravenes a well-defined, dominant public policy,” and that if the conduct happened under current state law it would be institutional sexual assault.

Although the alleged events in Virginia occurred more than five years before it discharged Whalen, the district claims it acted as soon as it became aware of the actions in 2012. The district also argues that the allegations had never before been in his personnel file.

Grossinger’s report called Whalen’s alleged conduct “reprehensible” and “loathsome” and said “the district’s quick action in removing (Whalen) from his position was appropriate in this case.”

However, he ruled that the five-year limitation in the contract applied and that Whalen must be reinstated beginning with the 2013-14 school year.

The superintendent, with the board’s agreement, refused to take that action. Instead, Whalen has been kept on paid administrative leave since the arbitrator handed down his findings in August 2013.

The district, in its petition, says it “has no

intention of ever returning (Whalen) to a classroom,” and that the arbitrator’s ruling means he is “collecting a taxpayer funded paycheck while remaining at home and performing no services.”

The district further maintains that its former solicitor, Jack Cambest, never advised it of its right to ask the court to vacate Grossinger’s decision in 2013, and that it only became aware of its right to appeal when a new solicitor questioned why that had not occurred.

An arbitration decision may be appealed within 30 days, but the district asked Washington County Court for permission to proceed “now for then,” citing state Supreme Court precedent.

Shelly Belcher, communications coordinator for Peters Township, said Whalen was hired prior to the start of the 2006-2007 school year. The Peters Township Federation of Teachers website listed Whalen as a math teacher.

“When made aware of the allegations against Mr. Whalen in September 2012, the district acted immediately and he was removed from the classroom and has not returned. The safety of our students is of the utmost concern to the administration and board of school directors,” Belcher said in a statement on behalf of the district. “While this is an ongoing personnel matter restricting information that can be shared with the public, the district is continuing to move forward advocating for action that is in the best interest of our students.”

Stephen Jordan, who is representing the Peters Township Federation of Teachers, did not return calls seeking comment.

USC BAND FESTIVAL

HOPEFEST 2015 In an effort to raise funds for the creation of a youth center in Canonsburg, Youth for Christ will hold HopeFest 2015 on Sept. 26. The event will feature Scott Caraboolad and the Ride4Life Team, BMX stunt bicycles, live music and more. “Sure the StarBoyz kill the streets, but I’ll let you in on the secrets of my life; share with you a story of success and failure, of misery and happiness, of addiction and salvation ... the renewal of my faith and why I’m able to be here today,” states StarBoyScott.

“The R4L Crusade is about providing hope and inspiration for everyone.”

Through the generosity of donors, Youth for Christ has acquired the former National Guard Armory building in Canonsburg. The organization hopes to transform this 18,000 square foot historical landmark, equipped with a full gymnasium, into a youth center, which will provide after school academic programs, athletic programs, mentoring, Campus Life club meetings and community partnership programs.

To date, $517,628 has been raised for the renovation, but another $232,372 is still needed.

Residents worried about safety if neighbor builds sport court

By Terry Kish For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

While it wasn’t on the agenda, during the Upper St. Clair commissioners’ Sept. 8 meeting, a number of residents of Salem Drive had concerns about plans for a proposed sport court on their street. Lee Tilghman, of 241 Salem Drive, said his neighbors, David and Kelly Rohrich, of 235 Salem Drive, want to build a 4,100 squarefoot multi-purpose sport court hockey rink parallel to his yard.

“Our number one concern is safety,” said Tilghman, who worried that his 14-month-old son could be hit by flying pucks when he is outside.

He said that even the best players in the world hit pucks into the stands occasionally; it is an inherent risk of the game. He would like to see the rink built further from his yard.

In addition to the danger from pucks sailing into his yard, Tilghman said the rink would be large enough to accommodate 12 adult players, so he is also concerned about excessive noise and parking on the narrow street. He said when there are multiple vehicles parked along the road, cars have a difficult time get-

ting through.

Kristen LeBeau, of 221 Salem Drive, had concerns about traffic, noise and the safety of her three children, and residents from Salem Drive, Orr Road and Murdstone voiced similar worries.

Tilghman said the township’s zoning hearing board listened to residents from his neighborhood for almost three hours during its Aug. 27 meeting. If the zoning hearing board approves the Rohrich’s application, Tilghman would like them to add conditions to address the safety issues.

Contacted after the meeting, township man-

ager Matthew Serakowski said that sport courts have been included in Upper St. Clair’s code for over 20 years. Courts larger than 600 square feet go through the process of coming before the township’s zoning hearing board for a special exception.

Serakowski explained that if an application meets zoning requirements for a special exception, it is typically granted by the zoning hearing board; however, the zoning hearing board can add certain reasonable conditions. If approved, the township, applicant and any aggrieved party can appeal the decision of the zoning hearing board and it goes to common pleas court.

looking back

Fifth-graders in Madeline Tyska’s art classes at Neil Armstrong Middle School in the Bethel Park School District created their own digital modern masterpieces using Chromebooks and an online art program called picmonkey. Before they began creating, they looked at 15 famous works of art and analyzed how the artists used the Elements of Art in their masterpieces. Once the students selected a favorite masterpiece, they used picmonkey to alter the classics by overlaying text, adding filters and creating icons to create updated modern masterpieces. Pictured is Jason Turske with his updated version of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.”

The decision maker: Lebo’s Jenkins makes good choices

By Eleanor Bailey

EDDIE JENKINS FILE

Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Eddie Jenkins shreds defenses easier than he decides where he’d like to eat dinner or what songs he wants to put on his iPod. “Those are tough choices,” said the Mt. Lebanon High School senior when asked to name his favorite restaurant or melody. “I’m not good at deciding.”

On the football field, however, Jenkins is quite good at decision-making. In fact, the 18-year-old signal caller chooses quickly whether to pass or run.

“As a quarterback, I like that fact that you always have the ball in your hands. It’s up to me to make decisions on the fly. It’s up to me what happens on every play.”

Last year, a lot happened with Jenkins behind center for the Blue Devils. He threw for 1,287 yards and 12 scores and rushed for 614 yards and eight more touchdowns. This fall, he is off to an equally impressive start. In a seasonopening win against Canon-McMillan, Jenkins passed for 130 yards and one touchdown and he rushed for one more score. Last week, in a win against Moon, he threw for five touchdowns while completing 9 of 14 attempts for 284 yards.

“I enjoyed it,” Jenkins said of his performance against the Tigers. “I don’t think that people respect my passing.”

Since he started playing football back in the fifth grade, people appreciated his running.

In fact, Jenkins started out as a tailback. He settled into signal caller when the quarterback ahead of him incurred an injury and later moved to another school district. Jenkins said that he “never looked back” after that. Even when Mike Melnyk took over as head coach three years ago, Jenkins adjusted easily to the new, read-option offense.

“There are a lot of quick decisions you have to make,” Jenkins said, “but I’m used to it. I’m a playmaker and adapt on the fly. I can make something out of nothing.

“Moon was one of my best passing games,” he continued. “We took advantage of their secondary. I think I am making the correct decisions and getting the ball into the hands of our playmakers. But, I think there are areas I still can improve.”

For some time, Jenkins has worked hard to improve and Melnyk is pleased with his progress. “It has been tremendous,” he said. “We are just starting to see some of the benefits of his labors.”

BY ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

Eddie Jenkins has Mt. Lebanon off to a 2-0 start this football season. In last week’s win against Moon, 48-14, the senior signal caller completed 9 of 14 passes for 284 yards and five touchdowns.

Jenkins has spent a great deal of time working with quarterback coach and offensive coordinator, Mike Junko. He has toiled together to improve Jenkins’s footwork and knowledge of the offense. “Eddie is a gifted student and athlete who can process it all and put it into action.”

In the classroom, Jenkins carries a 4.7 GPA. He is a member of the National Honor Society.

Plus, he also competes in basketball and base-

ball. He has lettered four years in both of those sports. He started playing basketball in kindergarten and helped Lebo win a section title and reach the PIAA playoffs last winter. In baseball, a sport he picked up at age 5, he batted out of the No. 2 hole and finished with All-Section and All-Almanac honors for his .356 batting average, complete with a .435 on-base percentage and team-high 19 runs scored.

Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park preparing for Backyard Brawl

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

After playing the top-ranked teams in the state, Bethel Park may be thinking they are playing St. Louise de Marillac, says head coach Jim Render when the Black Hawks travel to Upper St. Clair for a Southeastern Conference football battle. “Compared to Central Catholic and Woodland Hills, we are just an outpost in the South Hills,” Render said. “Those schools have so many Division I prospects.”

While the Panthers have a few, most notably Pitt recruits Brandon Ford and Gabe Houy, they are no less an opponent for the Black Hawks.

In fact, the Panthers are undefeated while the Hawks are winless as they enter this fray, fraught with history.

As USC’s head coach for nearly four decades, Render remembers many battles as does Jeff Metheny, who has managed the Hawks for 22 seasons. Render recalled the years when his now assistant coach beat his Panthers. “I remember Shawn Morton beating us. He and Larry Miles back in the early 1980s was some combination.

They teamed up for a lot of victories. Then there was that semifinal WPIAL playoff win at West Mifflin in 1998,” Render added.

Metheny mentioned that contest and others in his recollections of the backyard brawl. “It was like it was yesterday,” he said. “There have been a lot of great games and we’ve lost some close ones. They have won much more than we have but it’s a great rivalry.

“No question, they have made us better. USC has been so good for so long. Their staff is great.

They have real good players.”

One, Metheny recognized. Sean Lee, off course. But then he also remembered Adam Chrissis, who helped the Panthers win a PIAA title in 2006. “I noticed there is another Chrissis on their roster,” Metheny said of Kevin. “I remember when his older brother played. We’ve had a few good games with them. We didn’t always win. I think you remember those more.”

What Metheny remembers most and what he notices today is the MO that has enabled USC

Jenkins FROM PAGE 25 “Certainly playing three sports helps him with the athletic processing,” said Melnyk.

Jenkins adds all the sports are complementary. Football improves his agility and quickness.

Basketball and baseball are great for his hand/ eye coordination. “There is a tremendous link to all the sports. They have helped improve all my performances and helped me be successful.”

Because he plays pivotal positions such as quarterback, point guard and shortstop, Jenkins has also blossomed into a successful leader. His teammates named him captain of the football squad for the second year in a row.

“Coming back as a two-year captain, you are expected to be a leader,” Jenkins said. “As a quarterback, you are the field general. You are responsible for rallying the troops and because I have four years of varsity experience in baseball and basketball, I am able to show my leadership.

Alex Smith coughs up the football as South Fayette’s Dom Malosh (No. 38) makes a hit on the Keystone Oaks quarterback. to start conference play on a two-game winning streak. “They play great defense,” he said.

After shutting out Penn Hills, 17-0, in their opener, the Panthers dominated Peters Township, 34-14. Eli Grape and Jack Burton led in tackles with nine and five respectively as USC limited PT to five first downs and 95 total yards.

“Against Peters, we continued to play good defense,” Render said. “I was happy about that.”

Render was also pleased with USC’s passing attack. Jackson Geisler completed 7 of 10 attempts for 168 yards. He tossed two scoring strikes of 89 and 21 yards to Connor Brennan and Deonte Johnson. Brennan kicked three extra points and Jeff Howard tacked on another.

Thomas Vissman rushed for 104 yards and three scores of 4, 30 and 2 yards.

“The passing game came alive,” noted Render. “We scored in a variety of ways. We’d like to build on that.”

Meanwhile, the Hawks are attempting to build off the morale they gained in tough defeats to Central Catholic, one of the nation’s top-rated

teams, and Woodland Hills, the No. 2 team in the state. Against the Wolverines, Levi Metheny completed 11 of 23 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. Charlie Davis caught seven of those aerials for 173 yards and two scores of 30 and 3 yards. Metheny also rushed for a 1-yard TD. Kelsey Tischler kicked a 31-yard field goal.

Metheny, who passed for over 1,000 yards last season and is a four-year starter, is a concern for Render as is BP’s line and skill players such as Davis and Jake Dixon.

“It’s the same at all levels. If a team has a veteran quarterback, that makes a big difference and they have one,” Render said. “They have a tight end and wide receiver he likes to throw to and that presents a lot of problems. Last year, they were inexperienced on the line and this year, they have all those guy back.

“Plus, they are coming off two tough games and they played well against two great teams.

So, first and foremost, we have to play good defense.”

BP, meanwhile, needs to play error-free to win

“Yes, I think I do well (with my teammates).

I think I am able to get them to respond to what I say and do what I tell them to do.”

Jenkins learned his leadership skills at an early age from his parents. They set the positive example from the onset. Jenkins says his favorite times as a youth growing up in Mt. Lebanon were playing sports with his mom and dad, throwing a baseball or football outside his old house. Dan and Amy Jenkins, he said, were always interested in sports. In fact, his mother was a standout volleyball player, track star and cheerleader at Blairsville High School. Though his dad did not participate in any sports while attending Chartiers Valley High School, he introduced him to the University of Pittsburgh and its football and basketball programs. “My dad took me to all the games and I fell in love with Pitt. I’m a huge Pitt fan.”

While Pitt baseball is a fan of Jenkins, recruiting him to play in college, the 5-10, 165-pound quarterback is getting more substantial offers to play football. Ivy and Patriot League schools, including Penn, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth and Cornell, as well as

Carnegie Mellon are recruiting Jenkins, who hopes to major in business. “I could try to walk on to some baseball schools but I am receiving better offers and I am being recruited harder for football,” said Jenkins, who says he cannot pick one sport over the other. “My standard answer is whatever sport I am playing at the time is my favorite. I really do love them all.”

Coaches love Jenkins and he has earned the respect of his peers as demonstrated by his teammates naming him captain, notes Melnyk. “The best thing about him is who he is as a person,” added Melnyk. “Anyone would be proud to have him as your son. We expect him to continue to perform at a high level and his future is bright.”

Lebo’s future is bright against Baldwin this Friday and for the remainder of the season because of Jenkins and his many offensive weapons. Against Moon, he tapped them all.

Jack Young had nearly 200 yards in receptions and four scores. Patrick Moeller and Nick Tommasi caught TD aerials. Plus, David Harvey rushed for over 100 yards. Emmanuel

its first game of the season. The Hawks surrendered a touchdown on a fumble against Woodland Hills and one of two interceptions helped result in another score.

“We made mistakes,” admitted Metheny.

“You can’t turn the ball over against good teams.

Sure, our kids fought hard and played well and they showed a lot of grit, and we are a good 0-2 team but that doesn’t get you much.

“We have to get better. We have to keep from turning the ball over. Fumbles and interceptions cost us and turnovers will be key as will be special teams against St. Clair. They are always good at those. They’ve got a kid (Connor Brennan) that can kick and punt and kids that can return the ball. They are scary good on special teams.”

Regardless of how good the opponent considers USC, Render is adamant that his club isn’t yet good enough. “We need to continue to improve.”

Would a win over one of their primary rivals do the trick?

“Well,” said Render, “it’s always good to beat the neighbors but I try not to think too much about the rivalry. My job is to focus on the opponent and what we need to do to stop them.

And, you know, I don’t like to lose.”

PT AT C-M

Something has to give here and somebody will walk away a winner when these two winless teams clash in another backyard brawl in the Southeastern Conference. Peters Township is coming off a loss to Upper St. Clair while CanonMcMillan succumbed to Penn Hills.

In the loss to USC, T.J. Kpan and Nicky Phelps rushed for 5-yard scores. Reagan Lawlor kicked the extra points.

The Big Macs hung tough against Penn Hills, trailing 14-13, before the Indians reeled off five unanswered scores to widen the margin, 43-13, by the end of the third quarter. Bryan Milligan rushed for C-M’s first two touchdowns and late in the game, Mulligan finished with 100 yards rushing. Rhamiere Knight caught a 37-yard TD strike from back-up signal caller Jordan Castelli.

Dom Eannace completed 9 of 21 attempts for 157 yards for the Big Macs.

SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 27

Komolafe, Edgar Parrilla and Eric Kraus also had significant carries.

Jenkins says he does not have a “favorite” target. “It depends upon what the defense gives us,” he said. “I’m confident that any of them will make a play for me and for the team. My job is to be accurate with my throws to the receivers and be consistent.”

For Jenkins, consistency means running as well as passing. Personally, Jenkins hopes to become only the second player in WPIAL history to pass and run for 1,000 yards in a season.

Nicco Law from Ringgold has been the only player to accomplish the feat.

“That’s my personal goal but the team goals are more important and as a team, we want to win the conference and make it to Heinz Field and win a WPIAL championship,” Jenkins said.

To achieve those objectives are simple, says Jenkins. “We need to get stronger as the season goes on. Last year, we folded. We need to maintain our offense and play good defense. We do that then we will be able to make noise in the playoffs. As long as we go out and work hard and get the W, then we will be alright.”

BALDWIN AT LEBO

After non-league contests, these two teams return to Southeastern Conference action. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

“This conference game is a pivotal game for both squads,” said Lebo skipper Mike Melnyk.

“We will work extremely hard to improve our play in all three phases this week.”

Both teams are coming off big wins and top performances in the passing game.

In Baldwin’s 45-22 win versus Butler, Brandon Schliecher rushed for 131 yards. He also completed 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards. Nick Altavilla caught five passes for 148 yards and three scores. Phil Harding caught eight passes for 105 yards.

“Baldwin found its identity last week,” Melnyk said. “Their quarterback is very skilled and is a dual threat. They play sound defense and are disciplined.”

Lebo, likewise, is disciplined. In thrashing Moon, 48-14, Eddie Jenkins completed 9 of 14 passes for 284 yards and five TDs. Jack Young was the top target as he hauled in four receptions for 184 yards and four scores, measuring 24, 75, 33 and 50 yards. Nick Tommasi hauled in a 74-yard scoring strike and Patrick Moeller managed a 10-yard TD reception. David Harvey rushed for a 2-yard touchdown and the Lebo defense recorded a safety.

“Eddie is also benefitting from the emergence of some new weapons on the offensive side of the ball,” Melnyk said. “Jack Young had a stellar game. Patrick Moeller had a couple great catches. Nick Tommasi, last years top receiver, had a couple catches. We also have a four-headed monster at running back, with David Harvey, Emmanuel Komolafe, Edgar Parrilla and Eric Kraus. They all are getting significant carries.”

SOUTH PARK AT SF

This will not be the same game as last year’s WPIAL quarterfinal playoff game where the Eagles were winning until a fourth-quarter rally by the Lions. South Park lost many key players from that team and long-time head coach Tom Loughran has moved on to Fox Chapel. Plus, the Eagles are headed in the opposite direction as the Lions, winless in their first two starts.

Yet, they are “gaining experience,” says SF skipper Joe Rossi, who is expecting to see a defense the Lions have seen too often. “That will pose a challenge,” he said. “They attack the ball and swarm on defense.”

The Eagles, like the Lions, boast a young quarterback and their primary target is Brandon McMurray. He will put pressure on the SF corners all game. But, Drew Saxton applies his own pressure. In last week’s win against Keystone Oaks, 51-7, the sophomore signal caller completed 7 of 8 passes for 111 yards and a pair of scoring strikes to Nick Ponikvar of 32 and 25 yards and a 9-yard TD aerial to Dan Trimbur.

Hunter Hayes rushed for 121 yards and two scores. Plus, Mike Speca and Jon Beck added 24- and 15-yard TD runs for the Lions, who ride a 34-game winning streak into the contest.

KO AT EAST ALLEGHENY

Keystone Oaks was SF’s latest victim and Golden Eagle head coach Greg Perry doesn’t see too many teams matching up well with the Lions after his team’s 51-7 thrashing.

“SF is going to be a tough out in the playoffs,” he predicted. “They have so much depth that no one can match at our level. They are very strong on both lines and (Hunter) Hayes is a quality back who can carry a game if weather is a factor. (Nick) Ponikvar gives them a deep threat, which keeps teams out of loading the box. You need to play mistake-free football and execute or they will swarm you.”

Despite being swarmed, Alex Smith survived to complete eight passes for 101 yards and the lone KO scoring strike, a 45-yard TD to Leo Palmer.

Against the Wildcats, KO’s task is simple.

“We need to execute better,” Perry said. “We had some breakdowns and need to eliminate self-inflicted mistakes.”

Regarding the Wildcats, who enter the fray coming off a 60-0 loss to Steel Valley, Perry noted their team speed. “We need to contain that or they will run over us. We are in a crucial stretch so we need to buckle up and play better football like we are capable or it’s going to be a long season. We got to get after it this week.”

SLS AT CARLYNTON

Lionel Deanes certainly got after South Allegheny. The sophomore tailback raced 295 yards on nine carries and scored three touchdowns as Seton-La Salle coasted to victory, 49-6, against South Allegheny.

Also in the win, Liam Sweeney, Paris Ford and Cullen Baker rushed for scores of 5, 88 and 18 yards respectively. Nolan Abbiatici connected with Daluan Samuels for a 13-yard TD strike.

He also made good on a two-point conversion.

Leo Wilson kicked the other extra points for the Rebels, who are looking to improve to 3-0 in the Century Conference when they take on the Cougars, who lost to Sto-Rox, 14-13, last week.

Mt. Lebanon grabbed the gold during the Altoona Mountain Lion Invitational. The girls’ tennis team, under the direction of new head coach Paul Skrok, rolled up a 5-0 record during the event.

Mt. Lebanon ladies continue their winning ways in tennis

PIAA champion and runner-up respectively in 2014. Both return strong clubs this fall.

NA handed Lebo its lone loss this season, 4-1. Though Casey Gannon and Brooke Warshaw scored the only victory in the match at second doubles, Lebo took the Tigers to three sets at No. 3 singles and No. 1 doubles.

Shady Side Academy, which recently ended the Tigers’ 49-match winning streak, will be Lebo’s next opponent on Sept. 18.

“Those are the top two teams,” Skrok said of NA and SSA. “Obviously to make it as one of the top three teams in the WPIAL is tough.”

Yet, the Blue Devils strive to be the best.

The goal is first place, not just in the section, which features formidable opponents such at Peters Township, Upper St. Clair and Bethel Park. Lebo visits the Lady Indians, who were fourth-place finishers in the WPIAL last year, Oct. 2 in a key section match.

“Peters has a nice team. They are always strong,” Skrok said of the Indians, “Just to get out of the section is a battle. That match will tell the race.

“Our goal though,” stressed Skrok, “is to win the WPIAL championship. Absolutely, the section comes first but we want to be the first-place team out of Pittsburgh.”

The Lebo ladies are heading in that direction, in part because of the play of Kristi Riley.

Under new head coach Paul Skrok, the beat goes on in Mt. Lebanon as the Lady Blue Devils continue their winning ways in tennis.

Skrok played No. 1 singles and doubles at Edinboro University. He is a teaching pro at Glen Creek Tennis Club in South Park.

“I live in Mt. Lebanon and I knew the kids and the parents. So taking over as head coach was a good fit for everybody,” Skrok said.

Indeed, the Lebo ladies are off to a 6-1 start. They are also fresh off grabbing the gold medal during the Altoona Invitational, with a perfect record of 5-0.

Teams that participated against Lebo in the Altoona Invitational included: Villa Maria Academy, Indiana, Manheim Township, Abington Heights, Conestoga Valley, Hollidaysburg as well as the host club. The teams played draws of eight in all three singles and two doubles matches as well as a third doubles, which was scored as exhibitions.

“All the girls played well,” said Skrok. “It was good competition against some of the best teams in the state.”

The best teams in the state, however, reside in Lebo’s own district. North Allegheny and Shady Side Academy were the WPIAL and

Cross country runners hitting their stride as season progresses

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Severe swings in the weather have not deterred area high school runners. This cross-country season they are determined to be the best.

For example, Mt. Lebanon and Bethel Park, braving the 90-degree heat to start the season, dominated the California University and Gateway Invitational meets, respectively. Despite soggy conditions during last weekend’s Red, White and Blue Classic, Nick Wolk from Peters Township dominated.

“Rainy weather and muddy trails is what cross country is all about,” said USC head coach Douglas Petrick.

Wolk certainly concurred as did the Lebo ladies and gentlemen, not to mention the Lady Hawks and South Fayette runners. Wolk captured the Class AAA boys’ division. He covered the 5,000-meter course in Schenley Park in 15:48.40, more than 17 seconds ahead of his closest competitor, Domenic Peretta from Beaver Falls.

Aaron Pfeil shattered a South Fayette school record. His time of 16:36 netted him eighth place behind Wolk. Pfeil’s teammate Sam Snodgrass followed in 16:46 for 15th place overall.

Additionally, Shaun Hay submitted a Top 10 performance. The Winchester-Thurston junior, who resides in McMurray, secured seventh place overall with a 16:35.70 time.

Led by Ian Harris (12th overall in 16:39.10) and Joshua Kalapos (14th, 16:45.70), Lebo finished runner-up to North Allegheny, 52-91, in the boys’ team standings. Todd Gunzenhauser and Bryce Brandenstein followed in 17th and 18th place for the Blue Devils and Rob Doncourt completed the scoring, finishing as Lebo’s fifth harrier.

Meanwhile, the Lady Hawks and Lebo ladies finished sixth and seventh overall in the team standings behind Villa Maria Academy, which

They ran that meet as Petrick, indeed, is pleased with the progress of well as the Red, White and Blue Classic without his Panthers.

Kelsey Potts, who finished third in the district At the RWB Classic, Savannah Shaw earned last year and fifth in the state. a Top 25 award. “With such a competitive field,”

Petrick said, “it’s a big deal to place.” The sophomore was fourth at Cal. It was her first race since moving to USC from Seattle. Over the summer, Shaw ran a local 5K in under 20 minutes so, says Petrick, fourth overall as a female finisher at Cal was “the next logical step.”

The USC ladies also received strong showings from Lydia Lucas, Casey Kavanaugh, Steph Grunwald and Tori Kane. Seniors Caitlyn Pyles and Erin Pacalo have provided strong leadership while Anvi Kumar and Mary Wilding made their racing debuts in the RWB meet.

The USC guys earned eighth overall as a team at the RWB meet. Bennett Sneath was the Panthers’ top performer. He, too, earned a Top 25 award. He posted a personal record of 16:51.

The boys took home three trophies at Cal U. Sneath and Mike Stemmler placed seventh and eighth respectively. Chris Adamo followed in the Top 12. All three are seniors that have put into a lot of hard work over the summer. “They’ve really modeled doing all the right things for the rest of the troops,” Petrick said. The rest of the troops to score and help USC take home runner-up honors at Cal U. included freshman Chris Hess and sophomore Mike Gallagher.

The local showings have set the scene for some interesting section meets. Section action began Sept. 15 and the focus of the competition surrounded Mt. Lebanon.

“Lebo has a great program,” said Steranko.

“They have great coaches, runners and tradition. It’s always a great battle when you run against them. We like to compete with them.”

Petrick agreed. “The Lebo girls and guys are so consistent. It’s great to have someone like them in the section. With strong teams like them, Canon-McMillan and Baldwin, it’s fun to test your fitness against the top teams in the WPIAL on a weekly basis. We can’t wait for section meets.”

Peters Township beats Upper St. Clair in critical boys’ golf match Sandusky followed with scores of 41 and 44.

In exhibitions, Will Lusk and Trevor Thomas posted 38s while Christian Ordonez and Brian Livolsi followed with 38 and 43 for the Indians.

Bryce Cook also carded a 38 for USC. The Panthers’ other exhibition scores included: 40 from Jack Steve, 42 from Josh Koch and 45 from Andrew Rocks.

The Indians improved to 10-0 overall and 5-0 in Section 7 with the victory. Meanwhile the Panthers slipped to 4-1 in the league. The two teams will meet again Sept. 24 at St. Clair

Country Club.

Peters Township beat Oakland Catholic, 155237, in girls’ golf.

Mia Kness shot a two-under-par 34 to claim medalist honors for the Lady Indians and Synclaire Kuhn followed with a 38. Brooke Hilden and Alyssa Parham finished with 40 and 43 scores.

South Fayette raised its record to 5-0 with a 216-259 victory against Steel Valley. Alex Orlandini was low medalist for the Lions, shooting a 38.

team. “They train together and it’s a positive environment. These girls want to carry on the tradition and improve upon last year’s showing in the semifinals of the state tournament.”

Skrok said the trip to Altoona was a great bonding experience for the team and while the matches do not count in the team’s win-loss column, the journey nevertheless was positive.

“It’s a great confidence booster for the girls.

It’s an opportunity to play matches against different teams from outside the district. It was

good competition and it wasn’t against the same teams that we play year in and year out.”

NOTES: The WPIAL tennis singles championships will be held Sept. 21 and 22. Top finishers from each section event, played Set. 15-16, advance to the tournament. Opening round play through quarterfinal action in Class AAA will be hosted at Shady Side Academy and in Class AA at Norwin on Sept. 21.

Ask A Real Estate

Professional Q: What is a good faith deposit?

Jim Popeck

724-941-8800 Ext. 265 Cell: 724-207-3534

www.jimpopeck.com

A: Buyers are almost always expected to make

a “good faith” deposit (sometimes called “hand money,” “ernest money” or “down money”) on the property. The deposit is an important part of the home buying process. It tells the seller you’re a committed buyer, and it helps fund your down payment and closing cost. The amount that is deposited is held in a real estate company’s escrow account and is subtracted from the final figure that a buyer pays at the closing table. In most cases, the larger the deposit the stronger a purchase offer looks to a seller.
