Peters Twp. teachers eye Oct. 28 for possible strike

By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

The Peters Township Federation of Teachers, which has been without a contract since the new school year began, said on Oct. 9 it will begin a work stoppage Oct. 28. The strike could affect 4,300 students who attend the five schools – three elementary schools, one middle school

and one high school – that make up the Peters Township School District. Thirteen negotiating sessions have taken place and the next session is scheduled for Oct. 27.

Approximately 285 teachers are represented by the Peters Township Federation of Teachers.

The last time the teachers went on strike was 2000, said Shelly Belcher, district spokesperson.

“While additional negotiation sessions are planned prior to that date and we hope that PTFT will reverse their decision, we wanted to give you

as much notice as possible to make necessary arrangements for your children during the work stoppage,” said Superintendent Jeannine French in a letter sent to parents Oct. 9. “The district will continue to work diligently to reach a settlement knowing that this type of interruption to their school year is not in the best interest of our students. In the unfortunate event of a strike, we will communicate a plan with details for meeting the educational needs of our students.”

French said she is prohibited by law from pub-

licly discussing details of the negotiations. William Merrell, a board member, declined comment.

Union representatives said they do not want a strike either, but members voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to authorize its negotiating team to call a strike if necessary. Paul Homer, a spokesman for Peters Township Federation of Teachers Local 3431, said French is allowed to talk publicly about the negotiations.

Mt. Lebanon’s Adam Potter ordained as deacon in Rome

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

When Heidi Potter left the South Hills Bible Chapel to return to her roots of Catholicism, she was told that she would lose her children.

She did. She lost her son to Jesus Christ. After his own conversion, he discerned his vocation.

He desired to join the priesthood. On Oct. 1, Adam Potter drew one step closer to that reality. The Mt. Lebanon native was ordained a deacon at The Papal Basilica of St. Peter in Rome.

“The moment I woke up and my heart was beating out of my chest and I was overwhelmed by what was happening,” said Potter, “and I knew there were so many people praying for me.

It’s extraordinary.

“It was an incredible moment looking out and realizing that I have a lot of people who love me and knowing that so many people were praying for me back home. I felt it. It lifted me up.

“It’s extraordinary that so many were here, too,” he added of those who traveled to Italy for the ordination. In addition to family, the audience included 56 on a pilgrimage representing his hometown church, St. Bernard, as well as Madonna del Costello and Word of God parishes in Swissvale, where he served the past three years. “It’s a pretty amazing thing to think of all of you when I laid down before the altar of the chair for you. Thank you all for your support for so many years.”

Jim Guffey studied sports management at Robert Morris University.

He thought maybe he might one day work for one of the professional sports teams. But, fate intervened.

While at Robert Morris, Guffey, now 48, had the opportunity to do an internship at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Marquette, Mich. It was there that Guffey said he fell in love with the idea of working on special events, and perhaps more telling, nonprofits.

“My first job after graduation was with the special events office at the City of Pittsburgh,” said Guffey, the executive director of South Hills Interfaith Ministries, a Bethel Park nonprofit that helps struggling individuals and families in the South Hills become self-sufficient. He worked on the Three Rivers Arts Festival, Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta, the Great Race and the Pittsburgh Marathon, to name a few.

After he left the city, Guffey, a Castle Shannon resident, worked for the American Heart Association and the United Way of Allegheny County. He found himself drawn to nonprofits and the idea of helping people.

“I’ve always found if you work hard and treat people right, then good things will happen,” Guffey said.

About a decade ago, Guffey said he was approached about becoming director of development and public relations at SHIM, which, at the time, was a small nonprofit. Because he is active in nearby Hamilton Presbyterian Church, he knew his church supported the nonprofit.

Plus, he liked the idea of working near his home.

Guffey applied for the position, was hired and now runs the organization. Four people worked for SHIM, which, at the time, had an annual budget of $320,000. SHIM now has 15 employees and a budGuffey get of $1.3 million.

“I love my job,” he said.

Guffey said it is important that SHIM, formed in 1968, continues to grow because the number of people in the South Hills who need help grows each year. An average of 4,000 people and their families are helped annually by SHIM, he said.

“The number of people now in suburban poverty is growing at alarming rates since the Great Recession,” he said. “The need has exploded.”

The programs offered by SHIM are numerous and change according to community needs, Guffey said. Perhaps the best-known service SHIM offers is its food pantries located in Bethel Park and Whitehall Borough – distributing more than 350,000 pounds of food annually. And in 2014, SHIM grew 10,000 pounds of fresh produce at its two food pantry gardens.

“I think Jim Guffey is one of the true leaders of the anti-hunger efforts in our region,” said Dennis McManus, director of government affairs for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

While the food pantries are one of its higherprofile services, SHIM provides clothing and other everyday items as well.

The nonprofit has a clothing room and is in the midst of a winter coat drive. Families can select items for each family member every time they use the food pantry. SHIM also accepts donations of school supplies, which it then distrib-

utes to 400 students in the South Hills.

“We help stabilize people’s needs,” said Guffey, adding that this could be through a food or clothing pantry, or something else. “Our focus is to get them self-sufficient.”

SHIM is a screening site for the Dollar Energy utility assistance program. Last year, for example, it processed 133 applications that resulted in $43,000 of utility assistance for those in need. And in partnership with Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Pittsburgh and the North Hills Community Outreach, the WorkAble program was started.

This program helps unemployed adults in Allegheny County find work through training and counseling sessions such as job searching and resume writing. It is not a job placement service, Guffey said.

“What’s always amazed me is the diversity of people who need help,” Guffey said. “For example, there is a large foreign-born population in the South Hills that is growing.”

SHIM has been doing a lot of work lately with refugees who have been forced to flee their home countries, he said.

“They come from places like Nepal, Burma and Iraq,” he said. “We work with people from 30 to 40 different countries. You can pretty much take a world globe and throw a dart.

Pittsburgh weathered the Great Recession better. This is why they are here. That is why we have to be open. SHIM has been at the forefront of this and we have carved a niche for ourselves. I find it very rewarding.”

The biggest challenge for Guffey, he said, is the breadth of what SHIM does.

“But, I get to see the results every day,” he said. “I sleep well because I did the best I could.”

South Hills Interfaith Ministries leadership team grows Executive Director Jim Guffey can’t do it alone, and South Hills Interfaith Ministries (SHIM) has recently put a new leadership team into place. Ilene Potashman Cohen and Courtney Macurak, current members of SHIM’s staff, will take on new roles. Linda Lewis joined the SHIM team this month. The new executive team will lead the nearly 50-year-old organization as it works to address trends within the community in need of SHIM’s attention, such as the increasing rate of suburban poverty and

its multitude of effects.

Over the past 18 months, SHIM identified ways the organization can better address the evolving needs in the South Hills region.

SHIM, along with its board of directors, community leaders and stakeholders, conducted a feasibility study that found the needs for services in the South Hills reached far beyond its current capacities.

“Since 2000, poverty rates in the suburbs of major cities increased 25 percent, almost five

times faster than in urban areas. As an organization, we have to grow and adapt in order to meet the needs of our community,” Guffey said. “We appreciate the hard work and dedication of all the individuals, volunteers, donors, organizations, faith communities and partners who’ve helped us to make a tremendous difference in the lives of 4,000 South Hills residents each year.”

“We have 18 days until Oct. 28 to get a contract that is both good for students and fair to teachers,” said Kris Bergman, president of Peters Township Federation of Teachers Local 3431, who is also a teacher at McMurray Elementary School.

“For the good of our children, the community and the teachers, we urge the district to show us that they are serious about resolving the remaining issues by holding regular, productive negotiations,” Bergman said in a statement.

Issues between the two sides include class size and health care, Homer said.

The average teacher’s salary in the district is $71,540 and the salary range is $45,900 to $104,864. Under the expired contract, the current contribution to health care is $70 a month for individual coverage and $145 for family coverage, the district said.

It is not clear how a potential work stoppage would impact the district’s athletic program, Belcher said. The Peters Township High School football team is scheduled to play Pine Richland Oct. 30.

“Our goal is a fair and equitable agreement,” Homer said.

Missing a week of football no sin if Italy’s the game plan

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

To sneak away for vacation during the football season is a sin. But to travel to Italy from late September to early October was a miracle.

When I moved into my new home three years ago, Dr. Henry Freedy and his wife, Judy, told me that I better start saving my pennies if I was to make good on my promise to Heidi Potter that I would visit Rome when her son was ordained. Heidi and I share more than an interest in Adam and his faith. We both lost a parent, her mother and my father, on Feb. 2, which to the devout is the Feast of the Presentation, and to the not-so religious – Groundhog Day. On the last Saturday in June, I drove past the Freedy’s home on my way to the Mt. Lebanon swimming pool. Judy flagged me down. “I have to talk to you girl,” she yelled. Naturally, I stopped and in our conversation, she asked, “By the way, where are you going on vacation this summer,” since she knows I am always off an adventure somewhere. “Nowhere,” I replied.

“Remember, I am saving my pennies for when Adam is ordained.”

“That’s this October,” she cried.

Confused, I said, “I thought he becomes a priest in 2016.”

Yes, Adam Potter will be ordained a priest the last Saturday in June of next year, right here in Pittsburgh at St. Paul’s Cathedral, but he was

Mark and Barb Susco as well as Carol and James Plake, who brought along their son, Jimmy, made the journey, too. The Suscos have four athletic children with the best being Lauren. The Seton-La Salle graduate was a female Athlete of the Year finalist for The Almanac. The Plakes had two daughters, Julie and Joanie, who excelled at lacrosse and basketball at Mt. Lebanon. Plus, Mr. Plake happens to be the executive vice president and CFO of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Throughout the trip, he would keep the faithful, none of whom were versed in the benefits of Twitter, apprised of the Bucs’ progress towards clinching homefield advantage for last week’s wild-card playoff game.

The plane ride had its connections, too.

On board the flight to Philadelphia was none other than T.J. McConnell. The Chartiers Valley product, who led Arizona to the Final Four in basketball, was traveling the first leg of the journey, bound for a tryout with the 76ers. For the 8-hour flight across the Atlantic, my seatmates were James and Sue Lyle. James is the brother of David Lyle, the CFO of my employer, the Observer Publishing Company. Two years ago, Sue converted to Catholicism.

Our arrival in Italy began inauspiciously as thieves stole luggage as the suitcases were taken off the tour bus and placed on the sidewalk awaiting a porter, of which the Hotel dei Consoli Vaticano had none.

The stranger replied, “That’s good, because I am Steve Blass.”

Hours later, Caruso and the travelers would have more cherished memories and mementos.

Pope Francis, as he passed in his mobile, left some in tears and others exhilarated as the Beatles did when they arrived in America 51 years ago.

After such an experience, an afternoon viewing the Trevi Fountain (under construction), the Spanish Steps, where the Romans hung out, the Pantheon, the Piazza Navona and yes, even a Steelers’ bar, would prove an emotional letdown for the visitors.

Spirits, however, soared on Oct. 1, the day of Diaconal Ordination, celebrated by His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan at the Altar of the Chair at the Papal Basilica of St. Peter.

So I asked his replacement to move forward once again. Expecting a similar reply, I had to laugh when I was told, “We have professional photographers covering this event. Just enjoy the ceremony.”

attending his first Mass as a deacon the following day at St. Paul Outside the Wall. These two events inspired me more than seeing the pope.

For this, Adam was created. Anybody who saw his face could sense that.

Anybody who saw Ed Kapsha that morning could see he was in heaven, too. He made the journey to Rome with his wife, Jessica, who sings in the choir at St. Bernard Church. During Adam’s first Mass, Ed had the honor of playing the organ at the basilica, which is the second largest in Rome and fifth biggest in the world.

Despite a transportation strike, the flock managed to visit St. Mary Major, the main basilica dedicated to Mary in Rome, as well as St. John Lateran, the first basilica built in the Roman Empire; see the remains of Jesus’ manager and St. Matthew the Evangelist; tour the Catacombs, where 500,000 people are buried; and take in the tombs of Bernini and St. Jerome.

By Friday, however, I had a strong yearning to return home. Perhaps it had something to do with football.

But, Adam had been ordained. He bestowed his first blessing upon the food we were about to receive at a reception dinner in his honor. He had delivered his first homily about the angels that guard and guide our lives and distributed Holy Communion at his first Mass as a deacon.

So what more could be desired other than a trip to see the ancient Roman ruins, including the Coliseum, before returning home to continue my small mission here on Earth, to use my talents in a positive manner to promote God’s children. And as they say in language better understood than Italian or Latin, this pilgrim, indeed, came, saw and conquered.

Dave McLean of McLean Architects was at the Upper St. Clair School Board’s committee meeting on Oct. 12 to report on capital projects that could be considered as the board develops budget plans for the future.

USC Superintendent of Schools Dr. Patrick O’Toole commented that projects that he considers a priority and that need addressed this year include replacing the turf at the high school stadium and paving projects at Streams Elementary and the high school.

The cost of replacing turf, installed nine years ago and a year out of warranty, is estimated at $485,000. The cost estimate for paving at Streams, which includes milling and resurfacing, is $287,625, and paving of Panther Pass at the high school is $37,375.

If the board votes to move on the three projects, advertisement for bids would be expected to happen in January, with bid opening and the awarding of contracts in February 2016. Materials would be ordered in March and April. Construction would not start until June, after school is out. Work would be expected to be complete by the end of July.

Looking toward the future, additional plans that may be considered include building a new structure at the top of the home-side bleachers at the high school stadium that would include new restrooms, concession stand and press box. As an option, the building could also in-

clude a floor for new administrative offices, another item on the capital projects list.

Resurfacing the existing bleachers at the high school stadium and renovating the existing concession stand and restrooms were also on the capital projects list, as were options to repair the decking on the pedestrian bridge at the high school or remove the bridge.

Long-term projects also included a field house with restrooms, concession stand and press box at Boyce Middle School field, and the addition of a storm water capture tank at Fort Couch so the water could be used to irrigate the playing fields.

McLean told the board that the high school pool was another item that needed to be considered in future planning. The five-lane pool was built in 1967 and was not updated in the 1996 renovations to the high school. While there have been no major problems with the pool, it is well past its expected life span, and McLean said this could be a project that moves to the forefront at any time.

McLean presented two options for the high school pool. For an estimated $2.3 million, the existing pool could be expanded to a six-lane pool. The second option, estimated at $4.9 million, would infill the courtyard between the arts and athletic wings with a six-lane or eightlane pool, bleachers and locker room.

Board members discussed approaching the township and swim club about partnering for funding this project. Dr. O’Toole said that he would also contact the advancement office about fundraising possibilities for the future capital projects.

column

Procrastinating does no good when it’s time for mammogram I am a woman of a certain age and have had yearly mammograms for a while now.

Every late summer or early fall, I dutifully make my appointment. Until two years ago, I would sometimes get scared as the day of my screening approached and cancel my appointment, only to buckle down two weeks later and get it done. Like many of us, I’ve had close relatives die of cancer and I am afraid to get scary news, like breast cancer.

Two years ago, though, I didn’t cancel my appointment. I went on the planned day. I had a packed schedule for the rest of the month and I did not have the time if I didn’t go on that particular day.

I go to a place where a radiologist reads your test as soon as it is done. There are no days of waiting for the phone to ring. In most cases, you’re in and you’re out and you usually don’t have to think about a mammogram for another 365 days.

But, they found something this time. I was waiting to be cleared when the technician came back and said they wanted to do a sonogram on my right breast. The radiologist had spotted

suzanne elliott

something on my X-ray.

And, they did the test. Sure enough, something the size of a fingernail was seen. I asked if she thought it might be cancer. The technician couldn’t really say and went to get the radiologist.

I didn’t know what to think. I began to sweat and got a hollow feeling in my stomach, and for some unexplained reason, an old Monkees song, “Another Pleasant Valley Sunday,” would not stop playing in my head.

The radiologist came in. She said she didn’t think it was cancer, but wanted to do a biopsy to be safe. She also wanted to place a metallic marker

by what she saw. She said it was for the surgeon.

“It could just be a papilloma,” she said.

But, she said the word “surgeon” and that was the word I could not get out of my head.

I left the doctor’s office not knowing what to think, but looked up breast papilloma. They are small benign tumors that grow in the milk duct of a breast.

A few days later, the doctor called and told me the biopsy showed the tumor was a benign papilloma. I forgot all about calling a surgeon until the radiologist called and asked if I had made an appointment. This was several weeks after I was told the biopsy was negative.

I told the doctor no, because it wasn’t cancer. She said she only took cells from part of the growth and not all of it.

I called the surgeon. Overall, the outcome is excellent for people with one papilloma, according to the American Cancer Society. People with numerous papillomas, or who develop them at an early age, run a higher risk of developing cancer.

Still, there could be some abnormal cells, and that’s why it needed to come out, the surgeon told

me during my pre-surgery meeting.

The day before my surgery, I was sent to get the metal marker removed and a radioactive seed put in its place. I was told by the surgeon that during the surgery she would literally stand over me with a Geiger counter. This way she would be able to locate and remove the growth.

The surgery lasted an hour. A biopsy was done that day. It was a papilloma. And I was lucky.

According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second-most common cancer overall. In 2015, Komen said there will be 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer and there will be 60,290 cases of in situ (encapsulated) breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma.

Komen recommends women age 40 and older get a mammogram yearly. Overall, breast cancer deaths have dropped 34 percent from 1990 to 2010, in large part because of mammograms.

Go get a mammogram if you have never had one, or are due for one. I know one thing – I’ll never procrastinate about getting one again.

Mammograms save lives.

letter to the editor

Thank you Bucs for a great season On the “morning after” the Wild Card game, this soon-to-be fifth year Pittsburgh Pirates season ticket member wishes to thank the team, its management and owners for a sensational season which we shall long remember despite the unfortunate way in which it ended.

Over a grueling 162 games, the Bucs got the attention of the baseball world, achieving the extraordinary feat of winning 98 games, a historic accomplishment. Were it not for a slow start to the season, often subpar defense, failure to put up runs with runners in scoring position and baserunning gaffes, we would quickly have jumped to first place in the National League Central Division and held on to it throughout the season.

The Wild Card game brought what we feared as regrettably, the superhuman and unflappable Cubs’ pitcher Jake Arrieta was himself, treating us as ruthlessly as he has virtually every other ballclub as he rolled to a stunning 22-win season.

With him in the postseason lineup, the Cubs are in a strong position for the postseason no matter what they are up against and they richly deserve their success after so many years of futility.

thealmanac.net

facebook.com/SouthHillsAlmanac

@shillsalmanac

Whether it had been the Pirates or the Cubs that had been eliminated in game 163, which lasted less than three hours, I would call for a re-evaluation of the Wild Card system, which likely never took into account the possibility that the three best teams in the game would be in the same division and the inequity of a great team quickly exiting October play.

I shall always consider the 2015 Pirates to be champions as they prevailed over the long haul which separates the men from the boys.

What happened on the night of Oct. 7 does not alter that view and despite the outcome, I was thrilled to be present for the game amidst a frenzied crowd. After the sting of the Wild Card game loss dissipates, I hope all who are associated with the team and its greatness this year will recognize what they have achieved and the honor and pride they have brought to their fans and this region. This Pirates devotee cannot wait for Opening Day 2016!

Wolf: 3-D mammograms to be covered by insurance in state

By David Singer Staff writer dsinger@observer-reporter.com

Women shouldn’t be discouraged from finding out if they have breast cancer, says the Wolf administration, which reminded Pennsylvanians and insurance companies Oct. 2 that all mammograms should be paid for by patients’ insurance.

The announcement from Frances Wolf, wife of Gov. Tom Wolf, was actually a prompt to insurance companies to stop passing the buck of paying for 3-D mammograms to patients after it was found some hospitals and insurance companies were disregarding a 1992 statute requiring “minimum coverage to include all costs associated with a mammogram every year for women 40 years of age or older and for any (prescribed mammogram) for women under the age of 40.”

“We were hearing in recent weeks that women were being offered a choice (between 2-D and 3-D technology), and some were opting out of a recommended 3-D scan because of a 50- or 60-dollar surcharge,” said Ron Ruman, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.

Ruman said he couldn’t provide specifics of the incidents. He said if patients receive a mammography bill, they should first try to settle it with their insurance company before going to insurance.pa.gov to file a complaint.

“This isn’t so much a policy change as it is simply acknowledging what has been state law for 23 years, and reminding patients they should not be deterred from a potentially lifesaving diagnostic test,” Ruman said, explaining it’s between a doctor and patient what test they opt to have. Health professionals say a 3-D test is more exhaustive, but throws more radiation at the patient.

“A candidate for a 3-D mammogram has one of the following going on: they have dense tissue, they’ve had cancer before, or they have a family history or are otherwise at higher risk

thealmanac.net

“This isn’t so much a policy change as it is simply acknowledging what has been state law for 23 years ... ” Ron Ruman, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department than most women,” said Dr. William Poller, director of breast imaging at Allegheny General Hospital. The 2-D technology is otherwise reliable for most patients, he said. Patients have been heeding Poller’s advice.

“I have dense breasts, and so do my three sisters,” said Patty Robich, 53, of Wexford, who had the 3-D exam in October 2014.

“I’ve had no positive screenings, but my mother had lumps removed, so there’s a family history. ... Dr. Poller has told me, ‘Look, the density you have makes spotting any cancer like looking for a snowball in a drift during a blizzard,’” she said.

After the Food and Drug Administration approved the 3-D technology in February 2011, almost all regional health-care providers have since installed some form of the mammography test, except for the Washington Health System in Greene County.

“We’ve had 3-D for almost a year now. It’s in our Women’s Center (in the Outpatient Treatment Center) at Meadows Landing on Route 19. And we’re promoting it in Greene County, but we don’t have a machine in that region yet.

So we have been arranging appointments at our Washington facilities,” said Washington Hospital marketing manager Stephanie Wagoner.

Representatives with the region’s two largest insurance providers, UPMC and Highmark, said their organizations would comply with the policy update and continue to invest in research on better tests.

OCT. 21

THE DEVIL MAKES THREE

“Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl,” published in 1952, contained the authentic journal entries of a Jewish teenager who lived in hiding during the Holocaust. Her vivid descriptions evoked what life was like during this monstrous time. The book was adapted for the stage and opened on Broadway in 1955, where it Remy Zaken stars in became an im“The Diary of Anne mediate hit. The Public’s new Frank” production is a revival of this Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winner.

The daily lives of Anne and those hiding with her in closed quarters unfolds throughout the play, with moments of great tension, and also periods of almost normalcy. She confides her thoughts to her best friend, her diary, and its survival has allowed the world to know the spirit and courage of this remarkable girl.

Scott Township lawsuit stops hunting in Lebo-owned park municipal parks designated as potential locations for an archery hunt contracted with nonMultimedia reporter profit wildlife management organization White hfunk@thealmanac.net Buffalo Inc. In its lawsuit, filed Oct. 2, Scott contends that Mt. Lebanon has been ordered not to hunt in “by permitting hunting in Twin Hills Park, Mt. Twin Hills Park.

Allegheny County Judge Michael McCarthy Lebanon has breached its agreement with Scott ruled Oct. 5 in favor of Scott Township in its Township and conditional use, and potentially motion for an injunction against Mt. Lebanon, created a hazardous environment.”

According to Scott, the conditional use for which is conducting a deer management prothe park was granted to Mt. Lebanon, which gram on public and private land.

Twin Hills, a 25-acre park located within purchased the Twin Hills property in 1994, for Scott but owned by Mt. Lebanon, is one of three “limited recreational purposes only.”

By Harry Funk

The suit also asserts that Mt. Lebanon is violating state law by allowing hunting in a park “set aside for the use of the public where people may congregate in the open for health, recreation or pleasure.”

Susan Morgans, Mt. Lebanon municipal spokeswoman, said Mt. Lebanon administrators and its solicitor met with their Scott Township counterparts on Oct. 5 and 6. As ordered by McCarthy, a meeting will take place as soon as possible between representatives of the two municipalities along with someone from White Buffalo.

“We want to comply with the laws of the

(Pennsylvania) Game Commission and the judge’s order,” Morgans said. “We certainly want to be cooperative with our Scott neighbors, whether it’s with this or any other issue.”

Mt. Lebanon’s deer management efforts stem from the municipal commission’s stated goal of lowering the number of vehicular collisions involving the animals.

“We’re not trying to eradicate deer in Mt. Lebanon,” Morgans explained. “We’re just trying to reduce the population to a manageable level and really be good stewards of the environment.”

Peters Township’s Hunter Bruce wins WPIAL golf title

By Eleanor Bailey

video online

Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

THEALMANAC.NET

Hunter Bruce decided three years ago there was only room for one tennis champion in the household. So before he entered high school, the Peters Township sophomore surrendered that sport and concentrated instead on golf, his true love.

“I quit playing tennis because I wanted to focus more on golf,” Bruce said. “I like that sport better.”

And, now, like his mother, he is a champion, too. Bruce shot a one-over-par 73 at the Southpointe Golf Club and captured the 2015 WPIAL Class AAA title for boys’ golf. Bruce is the first golf champion from Peters Township.

“Shocking,” he said when he learned that tidbit. “We’ve had such good teams I am surprised that I am the first one to win it. I’ve followed the history (of the program) so I am truly surprised.

It feels so good. It was a good experience.”

It’s been a good experience for Bruce to be reared by a competitive parent. Marcy (Cenkovich) Bruce helped Mt. Lebanon win championships in tennis. In 1987, she combined with Karen Spirer to win the PIAA doubles title. Af-

ter playing at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, she focused on coaching champions.

In 10 seasons, she guided Upper St. Clair to 10 straight section banners, six WPIAL titles and three state championships. She also coached four state championship doubles teams. Currently, she is a teaching professional.

“My mom, she’s nuts,” Bruce said with a laugh. “She can be crazy at times. But I love her so.”

Despite its steep hills and distance, Bruce loved the course at the Southpointe Golf Club.

The course measured 6,830 yards.

“This course is hard,” he admitted. “You have to hit your lines. You have to hit it straight. If you don’t, then you won’t score well. You have to be in fairway. You have to be careful on the greens. There are severe slopes and you have to watch your speed on the greens.”

Bruce attacked the course with one strategy in mind. “Just try to make pars,” he said. Down the stretch, he made three pars. He birdied No. 16, draining a long putt and shot par on the final two holes.

Victory, however, was not secured until his

Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park heading in different directions

Mt. Lebanon’s 31-20 triumph over Bethel Park could reverberate throughout the remainder of the football season.

The Blue Devils (6-0, 5-0) hope the victory spingboards them to bigger and better things as they prepare for this week’s non-conference game against North Hills (3-3, 2-3) before traveling to Woodland Hills (6-0, 5-0) Oct. 23 for the Southwestern Conference showdown.

“We are going for a nice ride the rest of the year,” predicted Lebo skipper Mike Melnyk after the win. “We have a chance to do something really special.”

While the Blue Devils are 6-0 for the first

time since the 2012 season, Bethel Park is reeling. The Hawks had the game won until Edgar Parilla intercepted a pass and turned the miscue into a 98-yard touchdown. Parilla’s punt return also set up David Harvey’s go-ahead score, a 1-yard run with 8:43 to play. Plus, Eddie Jenkins tacked on a 17-yard TD run with 2:21 remaining.

“They were trying to put the last score in and it would have been a huge one,” said Melnyk when the turnover occurred with 19 seconds remaining in the third quarter and BP leading, 20-10. “We got a little bit of pressure on the quarterback and Edgar made a great play.

Not only did he make that play, he had an unbelievable run. He showed a lot of heart and that turned it around for us. Edgar also made a great SEE LEBO PAGE 24

Chartiers Valley prepares for showdown with Central Valley

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

After beating Moon, 45-26, Chartiers Valley finds itself in one of the biggest games in the program’s recent history. The Colts travel to Central Valley to play the Vikings at 7 p.m. Oct. 16. Both teams are 4-1 in the Parkway Conference.

“We haven’t seen many of those,” agreed Niel Loebig, who is in his third season at the helm at CV. “It’s one of the big games.”

And, the Colts have to win it if they wish to keep their hopes alive for a championship. “We have to continue winning,” agreed Loebig. “A win gives us sole possession of second place.”

And Central Valley still has to play league-leading West Allegheny on Oct. 30. The Indians are 6-0 overall.

This week’s game, like the one against Moon, is a road trip for the Colts. Loebig embraces those. “I do,” he said. “I like playing on the road. Getting away from school. Being with the team. There are no distractions. Everybody is focused.”

In practice this week the Colts will be focused on special teams coverage. That was lacking in their win against Moon. The Tigers scored twice on huge returns, 90 yards on a kickoff by Zachary Duncan and 85 yards on a punt from Anthony Panucci. The other TDs were the result of two short runs.

“Special teams is one thing that we always need to work on,” Loebig said. “I was happy, though, with the way we played offensively and defensively. Obviously, we can get better in both areas. Especially when you want to be competitive in AAA, you have to play better offense and defense.”

Offensively, the Colts benefited from the 1-2 punch of Steve Alauzen and Jake Collins.

Alauzen rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown.

Collins connected on 9 of 16 aerials for 111 yards.

He rushed for two TDs and hooked up with Eric Acheson and Joe Antonucci for two more scor-

Additionally, Dominic Pocci rushed for a 2-yard score and Noah Zajicek kicked a 33-yard field goal in the win over the Tigers (1-5, 1-4).

Defensively, Jarred Lewis stood out, almost registering a safety, as did Alex Curran on the line, Pocci at middle linebacker and Dante Panucci.

“We are a true defensive unit,” noted Loebig of the group that has allowed just 157 points.

“Some weeks others play better but it’s a good defense overall.”

Of Lewis, Loebig commented, “He tackles extremely well. He is football savvy. He knows

The loss turned BP’s hopes of contending for the conference championship to dust. With the defeat, the Hawks dropped to 2-2 in the league and 3-3 overall. Not only do they trail the Blue Devils and Wolverines in the standings, they are a game behind Upper St. Clair and this week’s opponent, Penn Hills. Both teams are 3-2 in the division but 3-3 overall.

“We need to try to forge ahead,” said BP head coach Jeff Metheny. “We need to focus on the positives and eliminate the things we can conBY ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF trol.

his job and he is good at it.”

Panucci is a “good all-around player” that was moved from linebacker to the line this season. He plays both sides of the ball for the Colts.

“He has done a fantastic job,” Loebig said. “He has embraced his role.”

So have Pocci and Curran. “Alex is playing extremely well. He makes a lot of plays on shear effort,” Loebig said. “Dom also has done an awesome job. He is making the right calls and getting us in the right situations. He has made a lot of sacrifices this season and we use him more on defense this year. He has gone above and beyond our expectations. Loebig expects no surprises from Central Valley. The Vikings, he says, operate a no-huddle offense and defensively, they run multiple schemes.

“They try to confuse you so we have to be simple on offense,” he said. “On offense, they are efficient and they are good at what they do.

Loebig, added, however, that he is not so much “worried” about the Vikings as he is concerned with his Colts. Thus, CV’s task is simple.

“We have to play our best football,” he said.

“We have to do things right.”

stronger and understand where we need them to be,” said Perry.

The Golden Eagles need to be ready for the whiplash of the Ironmen’s 37-0 loss to South Fayette.

“Steel Valley is a very good aggressive team that will be hungry after the SF game. They throttled a very good Freeport team that will win the Allegheny conference and beat them convincingly,” Perry added.

“It will be a great challenge for us but we need to execute better than we did against Carlynton. Dwayne Murray is a big time running back and he will be a tough task to control. We need to keep growing and show up and face a big-time challenge.”

those numbers occurred in the second stanza as BP constructed a 20-7 lead off a pair of Kelsey Tischler field goals and two Metheny TD runs, measuring three yards. Metheny is 65 of 116 for 1,113 yards and 10 scores this season.

Against Lebo, Charlie Davis hauled in six aerials for 142 yards. Jake Dixon contributed six receptions, too, for 82 yards.

Against Lebo, BP did little in the second half and that concerns Metheny heading into the home game at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16 against Penn Hills. The Indians possess speed the Hawks have not seen since losing to Woodland Hills in their conference opener.

“We have to run the ball better. Play good defense. Be more physical. Control the kicking game,” Metheny said of the Hawks’ objectives.

Regarding the Indians, who boast Toledo recruit Billy Kisner, Metheny added, “We need to stop the run. They have a lot of athletes who can go the distance. We have to contain their speed.

Their overall speed is a big concern. You get a bad angle on a tackle and it could end up being a touchdown. With most other teams it would be a 20-yard gain. But Penn Hills has a lot of players that can take it to the house.

“We’ve got to execute and tackle or it’s going

to be a long night,” Metheny concluded.

With the way the Blue Devils are playing it could be a long night for the Indians from North Hills. Kickoff is also at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16 at Mt. Lebanon Stadium.

Despite being “banged up,” Eddie Jenkins is still propelling the Lebo attack. The senior was 14 of 25 for 160 yards against BP. He is 50 of 87 for 804 yards and nine scores. He had two rushing TDs against the Hawks. Patrick Moeller was Jenkins’ top target versus BP. He had eight receptions for 73 yards.

While the duo has been the big stat makers, along with Harvey, Melnyk is pleased with all the Blue Devils and their tenacity.

“There is no panic,” said Melnyk regarding his players’ demeanor, particularly when they found themselves behind by 13 at halftime to BP. “We knew we had to come out and play our game.

“We have guys that did a great job. There’s a lot of heart out there. A lot of guys making plays and believing in each other. Hanging in there when we are down,” Melnyk continued. “They believe in what we are doing. We just have to continue to make sure we keep doing things the right way.

Valley at SLS

The Rebels (5-1) don’t really catch a breather this week before they travel Oct. 23 to South Fayette for the Century Conference showdown.

This contest is a good tune-up for both the Lions as well as the postseason because the Vikings are 4-2 in the Allegheny Conference and coming off a 31-21 win against West Shamokin.

“They are three points away from being 6-0 KO at Steel Valley so that definitely gets your attention,” said SLS The Golden Eagles (4-2, 4-1) cannot turn over head coach Damon Rosol of the Vikings. “Its the ball as they did in last week’s win, 14-6, like preparing for a playoff game because the against Carlynton if they hope to defeat Steel opponent is unfamiliar.

“I wouldn’t say he is what makes us go, rather he is playing a larger role than most. Our O-line is what makes us go. If they are able to protect him in our passing game and continue to open up holes in our run game, then we will go a long way this year.”

Deanes has gone a long way for the Rebels on the ground as has Liam Sweeney. Deanes also rushed for a score, measuring 10 yards, against E-Allegheny as did Dalaun Samuels for 21 yards.

Brandon Siler recovered a fumble and returned the turnover for a 39-yard touchdown.

Sto-Rox at SF

After accomplishing a lot in a 37-0 shellacking of previously undefeated Steel Valley, the Lions will not rest on their heels or take Sto-Rox lightly. They will prepare as if it is any other game in the Century Conference says Joe Rossi.

While the Lions improved to 6-0 overall and stretched their winning streak to 38 games, third-longest in the WPIAL, tying them with the 1913-16 team from Greensburg, Sto-Rox is 1-5 overall. Highlights against the Ironmen included: Drew Saxton’s 13-for-28 showing in the passing department for 152 yards; Hunter Hayes’ touchdown runs of 16 and 2 yards; Dan Trimbur’s two TD receptions of 9 and 19 yards as well as a 38-yard field goal and Noah Plack’s 29-yard interception return for a score.

C-M at USC

The Big Macs (1-5, 0-5) are coming off a 49-7 loss to Woodland Hills while Upper St. Clair (3-3, 3-2) is fresh off a win, 35-21, against Baldwin.

In the loss to the Wolverines, Dom Eannace completed 5 of 13 passes for 126 yards. He connected with Ahmad Morris-Walker

for the lone TD, a 65-yard scoring strike.

Against Baldwin, Jackson Geisler completed 8 of 13 aerials for 135 yards. Doug Wagner caught six of those aerials for 113 yards.

On the ground, Thomas Vissman rolled up 252 yards on 27 carries. He accounted for all five of USC’s touchdowns.

PT at Baldwin

Peters Township slipped to 1-5 overall and 1-4 in the SEC with a 38-12 loss to Penn Hills but the Indians are prepared for a battle with Baldwin, which is winless in the conference. Secrets to success are simple said PT skipper Rich Piccinini.

“We need to be able to sustain drives and cut down on our turnovers. Baldwin has some very good athletes that we have to keep in check. Their quarterbacks have had some huge statistical games this year and are playmakers. We need some or our younger players to step up and play bigger roles. Because we have had games where as many as seven to 11 starters have been out, we need the next man up to play solid football,” Piccinini concluded.

Against Penn Hills, Jake Cortes stepped up. The sophomore signal called completed 13 of 19 passes for 138 yards. He tossed a 19-yard scoring strike to Clayton Yeates. Alan Snyder also hauled in a 25-yard TD pass from Yeates.

OLSH at Canevin

The Crusaders (4-2, 3-1) are coming off a 35-28 win against Avonowrth (5-1, 4-1) in Black Hills Conference action while the Chargers dropped to 0-6 with their loss to Chartiers-Houston. In the win against the Antelopes, Austin Scott completed 5 of 11 passes for 123 yards and two TDs of 27 and 43 yards to Sean Fitzgerald and Amaan Bridgett. Bridgett also rushed for two scores. Maleik Hemingway also ran for a touchdown, measuring 64 yards.

Brentwood at C-H

The Buccaneers are coming off a 40-14 win against OLSH. They are 3-3 overall and 2-3 in the Black Hills Conference.

In the win against OLSH, Spencer Terling rushed for two scores; A.J. Myers returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown; Ethan Schober caught two scoring strikes from T.J. Johnston and Mike Cushma kicked two field goals.

that would have forced a playoff. Stopperich carded a 74.

“I got a little nervous when I finished and found out I was in first place,” Bruce admitted. “My teammate had a birdie putt to tie me. I wished he would have made it. A playoff would have been great. I am not upset about it. I am just glad that four of us advanced and qualified for the state qualifier.

Tanner Johnson and Conner Schmidt will join Bruce and Stopperich at the PIAA Western Regional to be played Oct. 19 at Tom’s run Golf Course at Chestnut Ridge in Blairsville. Johnson finished tied for third place with a 75 at the WPIAL finals while Schimdt placed ninth with a 78.

Kness qualifies

Mia Kness finished sixth in the WPIAL Class AAA girls’ golf championships and qualified for the PIAA tournament. The Peters Township junior carded a 79 to finish five strokes off the winning pace set by Hampton’s Marissa Balish.

Bella Petrone just missed the cut. The Upper St. Clair junior finished eighth overall with an 83 score.

Taylor Waller from Canon-McMillan and Elizabeth Engel from Upper St. Clair also competed in the tournament. Waller, a sophomore, finished 17th while Engel, a senior, placed 24th.

In the Class AA tournament, Emily Marcus from South Park finished eighth.

Kness returned to section action to help lead Peters to victory, 164-166, against North Allegheny. She carded a 41, as did Synclaire Kuhn and Brooke Hilden. Alyssa Parham also contributed a 43 to the final score.

sports correction Alex Garcia and Allie D’Orazio of Peters Township defeated Kathryn Izzo and Brooke Warsaw of Mt. Lebanon, 6-3, 6-4, in the Section 4-AA third-place consolation match. Information in last week’s Almanac regarding the outcome was incorrect.

After finishing the regular season with a 15-2 record, Peters Township began its quest for a berth in the PIAA team tennis championships by sweeping past Oakland Catholic, 5-0, in the first round of the WPIAL tournament.

“We’d love to win the district but the goal is to make it to states,” explained Brant Bowman, who is in his 13th season as Lady Indians’ head coach.

That means the Lady Indians must reach the WPIAL semifinals. With the win against the Lady Eagles, Peters received that chance. The Lady Indians must beat Moon Oct. 14 on their home court to reach the Final Four.

“You get that far,” explained Bowman, “then you have two shots. The PIAA takes three teams instead of two now.” Last year, Peters Township lost to Lebo in the qualifier. “We hope to do better this year,” said Bowman.

Currently, the Lady Indians are seeded No. 4 in the tournament. Mt. Lebanon is third while Shady Side Academy and North Allegheny earned the top two seeds in the WPIAL team tournament. If the Lady Indians get past the Tigers they would likely face Shady Side in the semifinals.

The Lady Indians had no trouble dispatching Oakland Catholic in the first round of WPIAL action played Oct. 12. Megan Hixon (4-6, 6-0, 6-2), Anna Komer (6-2, 6-1) and Alex Garcia (6-2, 6-1) swept the singles matches.

Allie D’orazio and Katie Smart combined for a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 1 doubles while Hannah Asbell and Carla Goldsmith won at No. 2 doubles, 6-1, 6-1.

Depth, unity and a tough schedule has prepared the Lady Indians for their playoff run.

In addition to their top seven, the team also includes freshmen Mia Hofbauer and Paige Mattes as well as junior Julia Deriennzo. Komer and Asbell are the lone seniors. Both are captains along with Garcia, a junior.

“We are deep again. We were always deep when we did well,” said Bowman, who coached the Lady Indians to three WPIAL titles between 2009-12. “Depth has helped us, but more than anything our team chemistry has been one of the biggest reasons for our success. We have had

strong leadership from our seniors and our captains.”

During the regular season, the Lady Indians faced stiff competition. They finished runner-up to Lebo in Section 4. In addition to losing to the Blue Devils, 3-2, Peters suffered its only other defeat to North Allegheny in a non-section encounter.

“The nice thing about the new sections are that they are bigger,” Bowman said. “You play everybody just once and that allows you to be able to schedule teams who you want to play.”

Peters Township challenged itself, forcing the Lady Indians to up their game, by competing against NA, Fox Chapel, Beaver, which is the No. 1 seed in the AA tournament, Sewickley Academy and Mercyhurst Prep, which was a state finalist last season.

The beefed up schedule, said Bowman, helps.

It prepared the Lady Indians for their WPIAL team tournament run. “The only way to handle pressure is to the put yourself under pressure,” he said. “When you are used to facing pressure, you handle it better.”

The last time the Lady Indians qualified for

Kristi Riley and Skylar Morgan of Mt. Lebanon advanced to the PIAA doubles tournament to be held Nov. 6-7 at the Hershey Racquet Club.

The duo earned its spot in the state tournament by finishing third in the WPIAL. In the consolation match, Riley and Morgan outlasted Shady Side Academy’s Lindsey Miller and Erin Gramley, 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-1).

Riley and Morgan saw their hopes for winning the district title fade when they dropped a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 semifinal match to North Allegheny’s Tina Li and Ashley Huang. Li and Huang lost to Fox Chapel’s Laurel Shymansky and Amanda Nord, 6-0, 6-1, in the championship.

To reach the semifinals, Riley and Morgan defeated Amy Donahue and Maria Jovin from Shady Side, 10-0, and Pine Richland’s Alice Qian and Claire Casalnova, 10-5, in the opening rounds of play.

Three other local duos participated in the WPIAL tournament.

Lebo’s Katherine Izzo and Brooke Warshaw defeated Norwin’s Maria Santilli and Anna Lanyi in the opener, 10-5, but succumbed to Li and Huang in the quarterfinals, 10-3.

Peters Township’s pair of Alex Garcia and Allie D’Orazio outlasted Franklin Regional’s Jenna Bailey and Alison Simpkins, 11-9, in the opener before being shut out by Shymansky and Nord, 10-0, in the quarterfinals.

Potter to congratulate him. Many also attended his first Mass as a deacon. During the service, held at St. Paul’s Basicilica Outside the Wall, Potter read the gospel, delivered his first homily (on angels sent to guard and protect God’s people) and distributed Holy Communion.

When asked to comment on the experience, Potter was reduced to silence, prompting Father Bonnar to say, “God’s grace can often render us speechless and that is what Adam was experiencing. It’s only going to become more awesome as the days unfold.” Bonnar then thanked Potter for “answering the call” and for inviting him and his pilgrims into “this fountain of grace.”

Bonnar was taken back to his own ordination at Saint Peter’s Basilica 27 years ago and noted how renewed he was. “Here in Rome we experienced a sense of history. The past. We see images. It’s an old faith, an ancient faith,” he said of Christianity. “But we know every time we come around the altar it’s ever new and I’m

“As his pastor, I have watched Adam respond to God’s call and be formed. He is a prayerful and enthusiastic young man who exudes humility and a deep care for others, not to mention an incomparable love for the Church. He will make an excellent deacon.”

Deacon Fred Eckhardt, who serves at St. Bernard and participated in Potter’s ordination, is certain of that. He said, “Adam exudes the love of the Lord. He has a quiet reserve, a quiet joy about him. He has an inner peace and a genuine kindness and caring for others that you cannot teach. God blessed us so much with Adam. You can’t write in one article the attributes he brings to his vocation. It would have to be a book.”

NOTE: Potter will be ordained to the priesthood on the last Saturday in June of 2016 by Bishop David Zubik at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Oakland.

Upper St. Clair, Canon-Mac draw may be preview of soccer final Soccer fans got a glimpse of what the WPIAL Class AAA girls’ championship match could look like when Upper St. Clair battled CanonMcMillan to a 3-3 draw on Oct. 10 at Canonsburg Memorial Stadium.

Emma Hasco forced two, 10-minute overtime periods with the equalizer with four minutes to play in regulation.

The Lady Macs coasted to a 3-0 advantage before Maddy Rocks struck paydirt for USC’s first tally. Rocks also scored the second goal, off a hard shot from Hasco.

Allison Thomas, Aideen O’Donoghue and Addi Roman accounted for the goals for the Lady Macs, who suffered the first blemish on their record.

In follow up action, both the Lady Macs and Panthers recorded shutout victories. C-M blanked Moon, 3-0, while USC defeated Mt. Lebaon, 2-0. O’Donoghue, Thomas and Sabrina Bryan scored for the Lady Macs. Hasco and Rocks registered the tallies for USC. Both C-M and USC lead their sections with undefeated records of 11-0 and 10-0 respectively. Overall, the Lady Macs are 14-0-1 while

the Panthers are 13-1-1. Their lone loss was to Peters Township.

In men’s soccer, Peters Township defeated USC, 1-0. Logan Brinsky scored the lone goal early in the second half while Justin Gamble recorded the shutout, stopping four shots.

Chase Sirera led the Indians with his “all-out aggressive” play while Jack Gordley kept the Panthers in the contest with his play in the nets.

Previously, Peters defeated Brashear, 5-1.

Sophomore Bryce Gabelhart scored a hat trick while Logan Brinsky and Evan Carrington pro-

vided the other goals for the Indians.

Earlier, the Lady Indians blanked Chartiers Valley, 4-0. Reilly McGlumphy and Ava Falcione combined in the nets for the team’s eighth shutout of the season. Erin Helbig, Bree Latsko, Emily Cottrill and Regan LaVigna racked up the goals.

Mariah Vucich picked up two assists. LaVigna and Mia Toscano also contributed assists.

A: In Pennsylvania, a real estate transfer tax is assessed when a property is purchased.

The state imposes a tax on all transactions and there may be a local transfer tax on the exchange as well. Transfer taxes may range from a minimum of 1% and up to 4% or more of the purchase price. In most areas, the practice is to divide payment equally between Buyer and Seller, but this can be negotiated.
