When it comes to Pittsburgh, mind your P’s: pierogies, Pirates, Penguins, the Point and the polka, to name a few. Oh, and Peters, the suburb where Bower Hill Elementary School hosted Pittsburgh Day March 24. “We’ve taught an entire social studies unit on Pittsburgh and the history of the city,” thirdgrade teacher Michelle Hanna explained, and the culminating event gave students the opportunity to make their own pierogies, learn how to dance the polka and illustrate character trading cards to reflect the region’s sports legacy. Speaking of illustrating, students had the opportunity to make art projects reminiscent of the work of one of Pittsburgh’s best-known natives. “The children are coloring two side-by-side pop art pictures, and then putting them on a background and autographing them to take home for their own Andy Warhol art display,” Hanna said in the midst of the morning’s activities.

Considering that almost half a century has passed since “Sunshine of Your Love” was a hit, Bethel Park High School students’ grandparents just may have been cranking it up on the transistor radio way back when.

Music FROM PAGE 1 “We’re showing them more than just playing the notes,” Vitera explained. “We are getting them excited about performance, and the difference between just playing a song and performing a song, making a connection with the audience and really learning how to move your body with your instrument.” Bethel Park previously hosted Electrify Your Strings four years ago. “The first time was such a great experience that we wanted to have it back again,” Stephanie Glover, high school orchestra director, said. “This is a whole new set of students. None of the students on stage have done this before.” Gathering on stage for rehearsals were about 100 members of the orchestra, joined by some two dozen district eighth-graders for some selections. And unlike the standard setup, the violinists were standing instead of sitting, and they were very much encouraged to move to the music. “Whether it’s this foot forward or that foot forward, it doesn’t matter,” Vitera told them as they prepared to play Journey’s “Any Way You Want It.” “If you want to face that way, you want to go to the side, if you just want to tap your foot, no matter what you want to do,” he continued. “That goes for everybody. I don’t want anybody just standing there. Just kind of groove with it. Have fun.” The motif agrees with Glover’s instructional approach. “I like to kind of go outside the box, because we’re good at classical music and we learn a lot of the different time periods of classical music, but this is something that’s exciting to kids,” she said. “And I heard a lot of the parents are even more excited because they love the music. It’s of their era.” More recent is “La Vibora,” a Spanishthemed original composition by Vitera and an integral part of the setlist. “The kids have really, really taken to that tune,” he said, “and we’re going to do what I call a glorious arena rock ending on that one.” An Austin, Texas, native, Vitera has a classical music background and has shown his versatility by playing country music with such artists as George Strait, Rick Trevino and the still-going-strong-since-the-’60s Asleep at the Wheel. “I had the great fortune last April to play with Stevie Wonder,” Vitera said. “At one point, he turned to the strings section and asked some-

And it was something that I couldn’t have done if I hadn’t learned about improvising and about loosening up, but also that I couldn’t have done without the formal training that I got from my classical era.” Despite his experience performing with the

legends, Vitera took a down-to-earth approach to mentoring at Bethel Park, and the students responded to a high degree. “They’ve done such a great job learning the music and helping with the event, because it takes a lot of work to put on something like this,” Glover said. “They’re awesome.”

Spanish speakers gather in PT to improve language skills By Natalie Reid Miller Staff writer nmiller@observer-reporter.com

“Chócola!” Instead of “See you later” or “goodbye,” the small group at Peters Township Public Library bid farewell with the Spanish slang for “high five.” Mostly strangers before the meeting, the group spent an hour talking college majors, travel and baseball. And, while they sometimes reverted to English, they primarily spoke “en Español.” “I like to keep up with my Spanish,” said Peters Township resident Megan Aurin, who regularly attends the twice-monthly Spanish conversation circles at the library. Not a class, the gathering is intended for Spanish speakers of all levels to improve their language skills through conversation with others. Those who gathered Feb. 20 ranged from intermediate to native speakers. Aurin, a 2015 graduate of Allegheny College, studied in Seville, Spain, during her junior year. Now using Spanish frequently in her career, Aurin found an amiga in Abby Montgomery Schade, a Peters Township School District Spanish teacher who studied at the same Seville university. The women, strangers before that day, connected through their second language. “This is great – I can talk in a normal rate,” Schade said, explaining she is accustomed to speaking slowly to her students. Schade, who teaches fourth- through sixthgraders, planned to major in elementary educa-

When her mother, Connie Montgomery – also a Spanish teacher – urged her to specialize, Schade thought there were too few positions teaching the language to elementary students. Upon graduation, though, she landed a job with the school district. “It was like a dream come true,” she said. Schade’s students, some of whom have traveled to Spanish-speaking countries, return to class, proud to tell her they ordered their meals in Spanish. But they need not leave the country to speak Spanish, which is, by far, the most commonly used non-English language in the United States. According to a 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center, 37.6 million people ages 5 years

and older speak Spanish at home – about twice as many as reported in 1990. But not all Spanish speakers are Hispanic. The same study found that 2.8 million non-Hispanics speak Spanish at home. Mario Tiberie, a Washington & Jefferson College freshman from California, did not grow up speaking Spanish. His studies and interest in the language led him to Nicaragua, where he lived with a host family. Schade invited Tiberie to share his experience with her classes. “It’s interesting the connections you can make,” said Montgomery. Unlike Tiberie, W&J freshman Kim Murillo’s

first language is Spanish. Murillo’s parents are both from Mexico – her father speaks English and Spanish and her mother, only Spanish. Murillo was happy to find the conversation circle because, she said, “not a lot of people (in the area) speak Spanish.” “Coming here, I thought I would lose the language or my accent,” said the Los Angeles, Calif., native, who calls home a lot to hear her native tongue. She and the other orators switched easily between English and Spanish, using their hands when their vocabulary stalled. Lulls were few and laughs were plenty as the hour sped by. The group made plans to meet again for future conversations. “Tuani,” said Tiberie, using a slang word for “cool.” Illustrating the variety in the language, Murillo used her word for cool. “Suave,” she said. Library director Myra Oleynik said learning a different language is a beneficial skill, not only in the workforce, but also in leisure pursuits. “Many families (in the area) travel. Why not learn a little Spanish?” she asked. “I think (languages) are very important to learn.” The library offers free online language classes, called Mango, funded by the Rotary Club of McMurray. Courses include English as a second language and 22 others, including Spanish, French and Japanese. Conversation circles are free and no registration is required.

FROM PAGE 1 The students seemed to be enjoying themselves thoroughly. “They love it,” teacher Melissa Redshaw said. “They’ve been looking forward to Pittsburgh Day all year. It’s a big celebration in third grade.” All eight classes of third-graders joined together in the afternoon for a mass polka, and KDKA sports personality Bob Pompeani – there’s another Pittsburgh “P” – visited for a tailgate party, during which students ate the pierogies they made. The youngsters and their teachers certainly were dressed for the occasion: Most donned

jerseys from their favorite sports team, with many bearing the names of their favorite players. And to make it a true Pittsburgh tailgate: “We rewrote the ‘Here We Go’ chant so that it pertains to the areas that we taught and it relates directly to Bower Hill third grade,” Redshaw said. Even considering the history component, the Pittsburgh unit resonated with the students. “The kids are so into it because they can relate to it and they can connect to it, and a lot of the places that we’ve talked about, they’ve been to,” Hanna said. “It’s just really a fun unit to teach them.”

BP looking to save money with streetlights By Cara Host For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

The streetlights in Bethel Park may soon be replaced with more energy efficient LEDs, through a proposal from West Penn Power. The company, which provides power to about 80 percent of the municipality’s streetlights, could upgrade about 1,900 lights for little upfront cost to the municipality. However, Bethel Park could save 40-50 percent on its electricity bills. “We can do a one-to-one change out for most of the lights,” Diane Holder, manager of external communications for West Penn Power, said at the borough council committee meeting March 28. The municipality may have to pay to swap out some of the newer lights, estimated to be about 20 lights, because the 10-year contract with West Penn has not expired yet. The cost to install the new lights will be folded into a new 10-year agreement with the power company, but Bethel Park still stands to save money.

If council grants its approval, West Penn Power and borough officials will look at the municipality’s streetlights in greater detail to determine how much wattage is needed on each pole. West Penn Power offers LED bulbs from 50 to 260 watts. From there, officials will be able to calculate an exact cost as well as the expected monthly savings. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, use only about a quarter to a third of the power that an older streetlight may use and the bulbs also last longer. Most of Bethel Park’s streetlights are high pressure sodium and some use an even older technology, mercury vapor. The LED lights will emit a whiter, brighter light that is more focused, Holder said. West Penn recently replaced all the streetlights in bordering Peters Township and it will do the same in many municipalities in the South Hills in the coming months. Council President Tim Moury suggested that council could take a field trip to see the different lights in either Peters or at West Penn Power’s offices in Washington. Council could make a decision on whether to move forward with the streetlight swap as

early as the April 11 regular meeting. In another matter, council may start a shade tree commission to study trees in the various parks and neighborhoods. That board would work with foresters from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to plant and restore trees. Council heard from Stephanie Miller of Economic Development South, who has worked with the Baldwin-Brentwood-Whitehall shade tree commission. The group has planted more than 180 trees in the past few years in those communities and all of their efforts have been funded by grants and donations. The boroughs’ public works department may provide some help with digging tree pits. “But other than that, it has no cost to the boroughs,” she said. Bethel Park’s shade tree commission will be comprised of five to seven volunteers. The municipality will ask Bethel Park School District to partner with the commission and perhaps incorporate some of their work into the school curriculum. DCNR as well as the Penn State Extension Office can offer expertise on how to care for the trees the municipality already has and which trees grow best in different soil types. “It seems like we will tap into a whole body of knowledge that we don’t have now,” said councilman Jim McLean.

letters Cite motorists who don’t yield to pedestrians The Mt. Lebanon Police Department recently announced a crackdown on jaywalkers. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition) defines jaywalking: “crossing a street carelessly or in an illegal manner so as to be endangered by traffic.” So why do people do it? The reasons are many. Stupidity. Just for the hell of it. Perhaps a latent death wish. It’s safer. Safer? Many times it is because motorists thumb their noses at the State Motor Vehicle Code by refusing to let pedestrians cross at clearly marked crosswalks. On Potomac Avenue in Dormont, crosswalks are not clearly marked because the borough is apparently too cheap or lazy to paint them. Cracking down on jaywalkers is a start, but police departments must also start issuing citations to motorists who refuse to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. Of course, issuing a citation to a jaywalker is easier than citing a motorist for refusing to yield to a pedestrian and takes longer, but shouldn’t all provisions of the State Motor Vehicle Code be enforced by those sworn to do it?

editorial

Is the state budget nightmare over? Not really To paraphrase Gerald Ford, our commonwealth’s long nightmare is over. Well, “nightmare” might be an excessively strong word to describe the nine-month impasse over the 2015-16 state budget, which more or less came to an end last week when Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf said he would let a $6.6 billion appropriations bill sent to him by Republican legislators become law without his signature. Let’s face it, for most of us the budget fiasco was more of a fever dream, with elements of farce thrown in for good measure. It was certainly not a sweet dream for schools or nonprofit agencies that rely heavily on state funding. But be warned: We’re not on the cusp of a long spell of comity in Harrisburg. There’s a 2016-17 budget due in just three months, and the conflicts over whether to raise taxes or cut spending and how to close a looming deficit that could come close to $2 billion are still hanging out there, still unresolved, ripe for yet more disputation among lawmakers, and more dismay from their constituents. To recap, Wolf and the Republican-majority Legislature were at loggerheads since last spring over a $30 billion budget, with the governor wanting increases in various taxes in order to

thealmanac.net

increase aid to schools and close a budget deficit that Wolf has described as “a time bomb” that could result in “a fiscal catastrophe the likes of which we have never seen.” In a note-for-note replication of the gridlock that grips Washington, D.C., Republicans have countered that it’s not revenues that need to be increased, but spending that needs to be lowered. Wolf vetoed two budget proposals, and used a line-item veto on a third, which allowed crucial funding to get to cash-starved school districts. He appeared to be on the brink of using his veto pen again on the appropriations bill. But when it appeared that Democrats would join with Republicans to override it, after many school districts said they were in danger of closing without state aid, Wolf relented. All told, the entire package resembles one of the budgets that the governor had previously vetoed. No one has walked away from this battle covered in glory. Much of Wolf’s ambitious agenda remains unfulfilled, at least for now, and legislators, never a popular crowd in the best of circumstances, appeared intransigent. Wolf has said that, at least, he has called attention to the budget deficit. With the sides still far apart and

facebook.com/SouthHillsAlmanac

the atmosphere more poisonous than ever, no one should put any money on the 2016-17 budget being delivered by the June 30 deadline. The same issues will almost certainly be making encore appearances – a severance tax on the Marcellus Shale industry, liquor store privatization, pension reform, property tax relief, sales taxes and increased spending on the commonwealth’s schools. Many of the candidates vying to replace the current batch of legislators have pledged that, if they are sent to Harrisburg, they would be willing to compromise with their opponents and not let a similar standoff occur again. Some have even said they would forgo a paycheck during a budget impasse. We’ll see if that holds if they are elected. But the commonwealth’s residents have every right to be disappointed in how the budget battle has unfolded over the last nine months. And, alas, there’s more to come. We have to conclude by paraphrasing another well-known American, this time Bette Davis in the Hollywood classic “All About Eve”: You’d better fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Neighborhood courtesy I have nothing against dogs. We owned a dog for many years ourselves. But, I do very much resent dog owners using our front lawn as a public toilet facility for their dogs. If you notice, these perpetrators don’t have their canines go on their own property – no, they use their neighbors’ clean lawns as a potty stop. We don’t have a dog, nor would I have it go on my front lawn if we did. We garden out there and our grandchildren play on our lawn. We don’t care to have your dog’s bowel movement stuck on the wheels of our riding mower. We don’t care for the odor or having this smeared on our lawn for sanitary purposes. We have actually witnessed many times, people letting their dogs urinate on our flower garden and that of our neighbors. Have some respect, people! SANDRA WHITE PETERS TOWNSHIP

Construction of the Spencer Family YMCA finally underway By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

It was a long time in coming, but the construction of the Spencer Family YMCA in Bethel Park is finally underway. Members of the Spencer family, along with executives from the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh, gathered March 28 at the site of the former BladeRunners in Bethel Park to officially celebrate the start of the project, which will convert the former hockey facility into a multi-faceted complex that will enable the YMCA to more than double the people it can serve each year. “Bethel Park is looking forward to its future with this new facility,” said Bethel Park Mayor Jack Allen. The South Hills YMCA will continue to operate at 305 Church Road until the completion of construction, which should take a year to finish. The 62,000-square-foot building will then be re-dedicated as the Spencer Family YMCA. Plans for the building include an indoor swimming pool with four lap lanes, a recreational pool, ice hockey rink, three group exercise studios, a community multi-purpose room, a sports court, a state-of-the-art wellness center and an indoor hockey rink. The YMCA bought BladeRunners for $2.5 million in 2012. Progress on the project had been hampered by zoning issues, which took longer than expected to resolve.

I want to make sure I’m cool with my air conditioning. Why can’t I get the biggest unit on the market?

When we come to your house to determine what size of unit would be the best for your home, apartment or townhouse, it depends on many TIM FIFE factors. For example, how big is your house, how well insulated your Heating & AC home is (insulation keeps heat in as well as your cooling), how many Specialist windows your home has and how big they are to let the sun shine in (heat), are you in an opening or do you have shading from trees. If the unit is too 495 Bower Hill Rd big, the unit will cool the house down too far and not dehumidify so your house Venetia, PA 15367 will not only be cool, but will also be clammy.

Intro STEAM course may be mandatory for freshmen By Cara Host For The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Bethel Park High School will offer an introductory STEAM course, which stands for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, for a group of ninth-graders next year – and the district may decide to make the course mandatory. Bethel Park has been expanding its multi-disciplinary STEAM program in recent years. The high school already has a large classroom dubbed “Makers Hall” and the school plans to make three additional studios. School officials believe STEAM is an innovative education approach that can spark students’ interest in science and technology. The board approved adding the class to the high school course selection guide at the meeting March 22. Parent Gina Brownfield said ninth grade is a bit late for an introductory course in STEAM. She worried that making the course a requirement might be burdensome for students who already have full schedules. “You have some kids who are skipping lunch just so they can fit in all the courses they want to take,” she said.

Accepting the 2016 D. Richard Wynn Award from the Tri-State Area School Study Council at the 68th Annual School Board and Distinguished Educator Banquet at Edgewood Country Club were (from left): Bethel Park School Directors Jim Means, David Amaditz, Russ Spicuzza, Cynthia Buckley, Donna Cook, Connie Ruhl and Superintendent Nancy Aloi Rose. Board members said the introductory STEAM course will be a pilot program next year. A relatively small number of freshmen will take the class. School officials will monitor the class to see if it should be made into a required course for all freshmen. Through STEAM, teachers do not typically lecture about a topic; instead, they use interactive techniques to encourage students to build and create while pulling knowledge and skills from multiple disciplines. A recent STEAM project involved

creating hummus, where students used culinary and science skills to write new recipes. They later used marketing skills to advertise and price the products and finally, the students tapped their design skills to make the packages and food labels. The board also added another pilot course to the high school course selection guide. Carnegie Mellon University and Google will sponsor and provide support for the new class, Computer Science 2. In other business, the board hired

contractors for several renovation projects that will take place this summer: • Hayes Design Group will draft designs for the entrance sign at the high school at a cost of up to $6,000. • Garvin Boward Beitko Engineering Inc. will prepare designs and conduct additional test borings to repair a landslide at the high school. The firm will be paid $23,805. • Nexus Construction will install a new water line at Neil Armstrong Middle School for $97,000. • Westmoreland Electric will repair the wiring to the exterior lights at Neil Armstrong for $61,500. • Vendor Knight Athletics will install a electric power switch to raise and lower the basketball hoops at Independence Middle School for $12,027. The board also accepted retirements for two teachers who will retire at the end of the school year: Christen Palombo, high school art teacher and Marian Horfeck, high school health teacher. The board hired Sara Lutz as special education teacher at Lincoln Elementary School and Thomas Sanders as HVAC technician.

School board recognized

The Bethel Park Board of School Directors received the D. Richard Wynn Award from the University of Pitts-

burgh’s Tri-State Area School Study Council at the 68th Annual School Board and Distinguished Educator Banquet held on March 17 at Edgewood Country Club. The award was presented to school board members who served during the 2013-2015 school years in recognition of their demonstrated professionalism, integrity and leadership in supporting an evolving culture of collaboration, improved relationships and instructional innovation, all of which benefit the students of Bethel Park. The National School Boards Association also informed the Bethel Park Board of School Directors that it was named an Honorable Mention in the School Districts with 5,000 or fewer students category for the 2016 Magna Awards. They will be recognized in the April issue of American School Board Journal. These two awards recognized the achievements of current and past Bethel Park School Directors: Donna Cook (president), Russ Spicuzza (vice president), David Amaditz, Cynthia Buckley, Timothy Campbell, Pamela Dobos, James Means, Connie Ruhl and Charles Scheuble.

Mt. Lebanon School District to stock, administer Naloxone By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

Mt. Lebanon School District will stock Naloxone and have it ready to be administered in each of its 10 buildings. The school board on March 21 unanimously approved a policy for use of the medication, which blocks or reverses what taking opioid substances could cause, including extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing, or loss of consciousness. “I hope we never have to use it,” Lawrence Lebowitz, board president, said during the meeting at which the vote was taken. “But boy, if we do, we’ll be very happy we made this decision tonight.” The policy calls for school nurses and other authorized personnel to be trained to administer Naloxone to anyone who is believed to be experiencing an opioid overdose, and requires contacting 911 for additional medical attention. Regarding those on whom the procedure is performed, the policy places the responsibility on district administration to establish “internal and external reporting procedures for any incidents where an overdose occurs and Naloxone is administered.” At the district’s March policy committee meeting, Marybeth Irvin, assistant superintendent of elementary education, explained that state legislation enacted in 2014 paved the way for the adoption of Naloxone-related policies by Mt. Lebanon and other school districts. Act 139 “allows first responders including law enforcement, firefighters, EMS or other organizations the ability to administer” the medication. In September 2015, Pennsylvania education and health officials contacted school districts to encourage them “to stock Naloxone and train appropriate personnel to help prevent unnecessary death from overdose,” Irvin said. “Six to seven people die every day in Pennsylvania, currently, from an opioid overdose, about

2,500 per year in our state,” she said, noting about the use of Naloxone: “In 2015, we had 230 lives saved.” That includes incidents in Mt. Lebanon, as two local police officers, Dan Hyslop and Thomas Rutowski, received commendations from the municipality in January for administering the medication to three people in November and December. As for the school district’s decision to supply Naloxone in all buildings, “We also want to stock it at the elementary schools because of the adult teachers and the adult visitors,” Superintendent Timothy Steinhauer said at the policy meeting. The medication also is being made available for children who inadvertently ingest substances. Steinhauer acknowledged that the overall concept is not universally accepted. “One of the criticisms is that, does having this on your property, does it encourage kids to then overdose on opioids?” he said. Act 139 also provides immunity from prosecution for those responding to and reporting overdoses, as is reflected in Mt. Lebanon’s policy: “A person who acts in good faith and with reasonable care in administering Naloxone to an individual they believe is experiencing an opioid overdose shall be free from any criminal prosecution or civil liability relating to the administration of Naloxone.”

Lebo resident working with Syrian refugees in Germany By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

While some Americans tend to view victims of the Syrian civil war with suspicion, Grace Killian prefers compassion. “Refugees aren’t an issue or statistics, but they’re people who have encountered incredible tragedy,” the Mt. Lebanon resident said. “Many of the people I met and lived with have seen more relatives die than I can imagine. They’re just seeking to provide for their children, to live as normal lives as possible.” Having worked directly with displaced Syrians during a service mission to the Middle East, Killian plans to continue her efforts in Germany, the nation that has accepted more asylum seekers than any other European country. She left on March 1 and will be based primarily in Chemnitz, a city of about 250,000 that was called Karl-Marx-Stadt while it was part of the former East Germany. Her church, Mt. Lebanon United Methodist, has a long-standing partnership with the church of the same denomination in Zwickau, about 20 miles east of Chemnitz in the German state of Saxony. Congregations in the region are combining resources to provide services to those in need. “This is a really exciting opportunity for us to do work together, to be able to support the work that they’re doing as they reach out to the

‘THE SOMEWHAT TRUE TALES OF ROBIN HOOD’ The Old Schoolhouse Players debut its first production in its Children’s Theater Saturday Showcase with the comedy “The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood” in the Bud Allison Auditorium of the Mount Pleasant Community Center, Hickory. The show takes a few liberties with the classic tale such as using a bowling tournament to determine who wins Lady Marian’s hand in marriage. But because both the sheriff and Robin Hood seem evenly matched at bowling, Prince John decides to change the rules and make it an archery tournament. “It’s Monty Python for kids,” said director Tyler Smith. “It’s a family-friendly comedy with jokes both children and adults will get.” Performances are at 2 p.m. Saturdays in April, beginning April 2. Popcorn will be available as well as snacks and drinks at intermission. TICKETS ARE $8 AT THE DOOR AND NO RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Their program, “Myanmar Up Close,” will reflect their outstanding photography and give insights to their work. Although both of the Bruns are photographers, they have slightly different interests. Frank becomes enthusiastic about scenic compositions; Laurie would rather photograph people, animals, and plants. Neither has had any formal artistic training. Frank Bruns, a retired nephrologist, was on the University of Pittsburgh faculty for more than 40 years. Laurie is a retired counselor, software professional and teacher. Before her retirement, she worked as an educator at Phipps Conservatory. Frank and Laurie, who have been married for more than 52 years, just returned from a two-month trip to Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. Each of their journeys results in hundreds, sometimes thousands, of new images, more often in color than black and white. The general meeting is open to the public.

South Fayette student organizes An Evening In India Youngsters all dressed up for An Evening In India included, from left, Aesha Mehta, Siya Joshi, Sia Matreya, Sanika Kulkarni, Romit Kulkarni, Aadi Blasara, Meet Raje and Anush Desai.

By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

Next time the trivia topic turns to India, perhaps this will prepare you: “There are 22 major languages in India, written in 13 different scripts, with over 22 dialects.” “Takshila is said to be the first-ever university in the world; it started around 700 B.C.” And, of course: “Shampoo was invented in India!” Those and plenty of other fun facts were on display during “An Evening In India,” held March 23 at South Fayette High School. Senior Meghan Banerjee organized the event with an emphasis on education. “I wanted to inform my community and my school, and bring them together to learn something new and a new culture,” she said. Posters depicting all kinds of information about the world’s second-most-populous nation were placed prominently in the high school gym, giving hundreds of guests a better idea of India’s stature as a science and technology center. As far as Indian culture, Meghan and some of her classmates brought it to life through energetic performances of traditional dances, including a seasonally appropriate ode to the spring festival of Holi.

Other Evening In India attractions included a Bollywood photo both, complete with some of those fancy, colorful costumes and related props, and a mehndi artist who worked with henna to apply intricate temporary tattoos. In the hall outside of the gym was an array of food offerings, “a lot more than last year,” Meghan said. “It’s a wonderful way for them to taste some snacks from India.” She organized a similar event, held in October 2014, as a junior, and the effort was so successful that she decided to repeat it this school year as a further celebration of her Indian heritage. “That’s very special to me and holds a very dear place in my heart,” she said, adding that she wants to share it with her friends and neighbors. “We are a growing Indian community, so it would be great for them to see our side and have fun with us at the same time.”

FROM PAGE 26 Meanwhile, a number of high school teachers staged their own terpsichorean adventure in the style often seen in movies produced in Bollywood, the center of the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. “There was fast music and lots of fancy costumes. That’s pretty much typical Bollywood,” Meghan explained. As for the performance of her instructors: “They did a great job, really.” So did Pallavi Muluk, as the teenager sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” and its Indian equivalent, “Jana Gana Mana,” and then entertained the crowd with a selection of traditional tunes from India

The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development has selected South Fayette Township as a winner of the 2016 Governor’s Awards for Local Government Excellence for the success of its online communications. The township’s creation and use of its website and social media outlets were determined to best exemplify the theme of “Information Technology” in the annual awards program, which recognizes local governments for exceptional dedication to improving public services through innovative initiatives. Township representatives will accept the award during the Local Government Day ceremony April 13 at the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg. The award application highlighted how in a single year, the township launched four online outlets (www.southfayettepa.com, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) that created spaces for sharing information, providing public services, strengthening community connections and allowing citizens to provide feedback that contributes to local government decision-making. “The award validates our team efforts to reach out to citizens, and it encourages us to continue to keep open those lines of communication,” said South Fayette Township community development director Andrea Iglar, who prepared the nomination. “Maybe it’s uncool to say so, but we were high-fiving in the office when we got the award letter. We’re excited to bring home this award for South Fayette Township.”

VIEW VIDEO ON EDDIE FLOHR ONLINE

thealmanac.net

Chartiers Valley’s Eddie Flohr nets MVP honors By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

During halftime of last year’s WPIAL Quad-A championship game, Eddie Flohr endured an ear beating from Chartiers Valley boys’ basketball coach Tim McConnell for not playing up to his potential. When Flohr emerged from the locker room, he exploded for 20 of his 24 points and engineered the Colts’ comeback victory, 50-48, against North Allegheny. “Coach got into me at halftime and let me know that he didn’t think that was the Eddie Flohr that he’d seen all year and he let me know about it,” explained the point guard. “That really kicked in the gears and I started playing and ended up having a great second half. Helping us win and get a victory,” he added. Fast forward to the 2016 season and Flohr again came alive for the Colts, leading them to a section title as well as another 20-win season. “I believe you did see the real Eddie Flohr this year. A dual threat,” he said. Indeed, Flohr scored as well as dished and all the Colts benefited. He led the club in scoring with a near 20-point average. He also managed 5.2 assists per game, a number of which he is proud. “That’s the most important stat that a point

Eddie Flohr has been named 2016 Almanac MVP for boys’ basketball guard should be worried about. He shouldn’t be worried about scoring,” he said. “That’s what I believe I am. I am a true point guard who just wants to win games and make sure that everyone gets their points. You have to get the ball around.” A former point guard, himself, McConnell

No championships were claimed during the boys’ basketball season. However, that didn’t mean there weren’t any good players. With the assistance of the area coaches, The Almanac unearthed plenty of them and they headline the Elite Eleven edition for 2016. Chartiers Valley’s Eddie Flohr spearheads the list as Most Valuable Player. Jacob Dixon of Bethel Park, Nick Valentic of Peters Township, Andrew Wheeler of Upper St. Clair and Ross Wilkerson, also from CV, join Flohr on the first team. Canon-McMillan’s Britton Beachy, Seton-La Salle’s Cletus Hilton, Bishop Canevin’s Mitchell King, Mt. Lebanon’s Mark Lamendola and Chartiers-Houston’s A.J. Meyers comprise the second squad while Antonio Garofoli captured Rookie of the Year honors and Kevin Trost earned Coach of the Year laurels. SEE STARS, PAGE 32

agreed and pointed out that asset regarding Flohr’s game. “Eddie is a great distributor,” McConnell said. “He really finds the open guy but he can score when he needs to. He knows when and when not to. That’s what differentiates him from the other players. He knows when to score. He knows

when to pass. And, he knows who to pass it to. He puts it in the right people’s hands to be able to score baskets when we need to.” After losing Jake Ritson and Matty McConnell from the WPIAL championship club, CV needed a leader this season and Flohr answered the call. He guided the Colts to a 13-1 record in Section 4-AAAA and to the quarterfinals of the district playoffs before finishing 20-6 overall. In addition to his points and assists, Flohr managed 3.2 rebounds despite his 5-foot-10 frame. Plus, he led the team in steals with 41 for the season and 3-point field goal percentage. “Eddie has worked hard every year to improve his game but after losing Jake and Matty least year, we were worried about our leadership,” McConnell said. “I thought that Eddie did a remarkable job of leading this team and getting us to a 20-win season, winning the section and just having the year that he had. He played well. He led well. And that’s why I thought we were successful because of his leadership.” Throughout his career, Flohr has led. He helped the Colts reach the WPIAL finals three times. As a 1,000-point scorer, he ranks 15th in school history. Yet, contributing to last year’s championship means most to Flohr. “It’s definitely the highlight,” he said. “Winning the WPIAL title was SEE MVP PAGE 34

A beast. That describes this 6-6 senior center. He averaged 16 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked four shots per game while leading Bethel Park to a 19-8 record, complete with playoff appearances in the WPIAL and PIAA tournaments. Jake Dixon averaged 16 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked four shots per game. He earned first-team all-Section 4-AAAA honors. “Bethel Park had a very talented group of players,” said Peters Township skipper Gary Goga, himself a BP graduate. “The guards could flat out shoot it but Jake was a beast inside.” Dixon, who excelled as a tight end on the football team, likely has seen his last playing days as he will take to a different court in college. The WPIAL Player of the Year in 2015 will attend Lewis University and play volleyball for the Flyers, who were NCAA Division I runners-up last season.

Nick Valentic

This Peters Township senior led the team in scoring with a 20.8 average. In addition, he managed 4.5 rebounds for the Indians, who finished 14-9 overall and qualified for the district playoffs. Valentic, who also earned first-team all-Section 4-AAAA recognition, will continue his career at Waynesburg University. “Nick had a fantastic year for us,” said Gary Goga. “He really improved from last year and worked hard all season long. He is just going to keep getting better and better and Waynesburg is getting a great college player.”

Beachy came into the season hot off a sophomore campaign that saw him average 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists. As a junior, he improved on those numbers and continues on a path to being “one of the best” that Rick Bell has coached because Beachy continually “works to improve his skills and game every day.” Beachy dropped in 16 points per game and dished up 4.3 assists. Though a point guard, he averaged 5.7 rebounds, ranking him second on the squad. He converted 62 percent of his 2-point field goals. Beachy also gained all-Section 4-AAAA, second-team honors.

The Rebels finished 15-11 overall. “Cletus has a tremendous year,” said SLS

This junior helped Bishop Canevin to one of its best seasons in school history. The Crusaders captured the Section 3-AA title with a 13-1 slate.

Ramsey earned silver medals in the 100yard breaststroke and the 200 individual medley during the recent PIAA championships held at Bucknell University. He won the district championship in the individual medley and set a WPIAL Kevin Liu record in the breast, although he was edged out of the gold medal by his teammate, Jack Lanphear. Meanwhile, Liu continued his rise throughout the season. After finishing runner-up to Ramsey in the IM, he secured silver in the backstroke at the PIAA championships. He was the WPIAL champion in that event. “When we rested Kevin for the end of the season, we had our sights set on doing well at WPIALs and states, while also being prepared to get his Trials cuts the following week,” explained Schraven. “I’m really happy the plan worked. “Kevin demonstrated what a talented swimmer he is being able to switch gears and swim substantial personal best times in long course after having trained short course for the past

seven months. All his hard work paid off and USC swimming is very proud of what Kevin has accomplished.” After their participation in the Olympic Trials, Liu and Ramsey will embark on their collegiate careers. Liu will swim at the University of South Carolina while Ramsey will compete for Pitt. Meanwhile, Smith is a seasoned veteran, having already competed on a worldwide level. She is an NCAA champion, Pan Pacific gold medalist and record holder as a member of the 4x200 freestyle relay, and a U.S. champion in that relay during the World Aquatics Championships. Last summer, she won the 400-meter freestyle event at the World University Games. The junior most recently defended her NCAA titles in the 500 and 1,650 freestyle races. She swam a 15:32.72 in the longer distance swim and a 4:31.33 in the shorter event during the finals held March 19 at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta. The victories helped the Cavaliers to a fifth-place finish as a team. Smith has more individual NCAA titles (4) than any other UVA student-athlete and ties Mitzi Kremer (1987-89) of Clemson for the second-most national crowns in ACC women’s swimming and diving history.

Carr said. “To cap my career with this win is Carr will continue his career at the University

In addition to planning to become a national champion, Carr hopes to pursue a career in medicine. “Athletically, I want to win an NCAA title,” he said. “Academically, I want to take the pre-med pathway and maybe minor in mathematics. I want to become a pediatric surgeon or a gastrointestinal specialist.” South Park had a split decision in the Classic as Greg Bulsak started the national showcase match with a victory over Keegan Moore from Jackson County Central, 13-8, at 182 pounds. Bulsak, like Carr, was a two-time state champion. The Clarion recruit was 148-18 heading into the bout against Moore, who was a three-time state champion. An Oklahoma state recruit, Moore possessed a 277-4 record. Meanwhile, Bulsak’s classmate, Jake Wentzel, dropped a 6-0 decision to Drew Hughes of Lowell in the 160-pound match. A Michigan State recruit, Hughes was 167-4 overall. Wentzel was a two-time state champion with a 14818 record. He is a Pitt recruit. In the preliminary match, which pitted the

WPIAL all-stars versus an all-star squad from the state of Indiana, Mike McAleavey respresented McMurray. The Peters Township senior dropped a hard-fought bout, 2-1, against Sam Hipple at 220 pounds. In his scholastic career, McAleavey was 93-43 while Hipple was 99-17. McAleavey was a PIAA runner-up this season. “I knew the odds were against me wrestling in this,” McAleavey said of the Classic, “but it’s an awesome event. I never heard of his name before. I just went out and had fun.” Despite McAleavey’s defeat, the WPIAL allstars prevailed against the Indiana team, 27-18. The teams wrestled two periods that lasted two minutes and 30 seconds. Approximately 3,000 attended the event, which is considered the Rose Bowl of wrestling. Hughes and Ethan McCoy from Latrobe were named outstanding wrestlers for the preliminary match. Hughes, who wrestled in both matches, won the turning point award while Hayden Hidlay (152) and Mitchell McKee (138) were recognized as the outstanding wrestlers for the main event.

“It’s a great achievement and I’m honored,” he said. “I think I had pretty good numbers this year. Maybe not the best with top guys in scoring but in overall helping the team; assists, rebounds and just leading us to win games.” In the future, Flohr hopes to help some college win games. Recruited by Division II schools, he has narrowed his choices down to two: Seton-Hill and the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. Flohr is well aware that improvements are necessary. “I just want to get better with my game,” Flohr said. “Shooting-wise, I want to improve

my shots. I need to get stronger in the summer if I want to play well at the next level.” McConnell concurred. “Eddie’s got to get a little bit stronger. He’s got to get his handle a little better to get his shot more consistent. He’s good for the high school level but to be good on the Division II level where he wants to play he’s got to get more consistent with those categories.” Having survived and thrived at the CV program, McConnell is certain of Flohr’s future success. At CV, McConnell said that Flohr learned how to compete and be a winner.

“To be in this program you have to be dedicated and you have to be able to take criticism. With those things, moving forward with a job or whatever he decides to do, and his boss gives him some criticism, he’ll be able to take it and move on and be able to improve. “I always tell our players that they can improve. That’s the one thing (Eddie) realizes. I wasn’t getting on him to downgrade him. I was getting on him to be better. If he takes that with him to the next level in college and his job, then I think it’s going to take him far.”

By Eleanor Bailey

MVP FROM PAGE 31 the greatest feeling that I have ever come across. I was happy we were able to get it done.” In 2016, Flohr got plenty done. He merited all-section first-time honors. Plus, he was the top vote-getter in the balloting. Ditto for the Almanac. As a result, Flohr has been named The Almanac’s Most Valuable Player for boys’ basketball.

Great Location!! Very nicely updated 3 Bedroom home. Spacious with new kitchen granite counter tops! Dining room, living room, family room, 2 full baths, hardwood floors, 2 car garage and nice yard!!

Q: What is a VA Loan? A: The VA Loan became known in 1944

through the original Servicemen’s Readjustment Act also known as the GI Bill of Rights. The GI Bill was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and provided veterans with a federally guaranteed home with no down payment. This feature was designed to provide housing and assistance for veterans and their families, and the dream of home ownership became a reality for millions of veterans. With more than 25.5 million veterans and service personnel eligible for VA financing, this loan is attractive and has many advantages.

Peters Township signs deal with new electronics recycler South Fayette still looking for permanent solution By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

Peters Township will again be able to haul and recycle residents’ unwanted electronics. The township has signed an agreement with JVS Environmental of Somerset County, replacing eLoop llc of Pittsburgh, which discontinued its service late last year. Residents can drop off their unwanted electronics from noon until 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the township’s Public Works garage located at the Bebout Road entrance at Peterswood Park. There will be two Saturday drop-days as well, with the first one scheduled for 9 a.m. until noon April 23. Like before, the service is free to residents of Peters. Items that can be recycled include phones, answering machines, monitors, televisions, computers, printers, keyboards, modems, routers, scanners, stereos, CD players and recorders, the township said. No appliances will be accepted, which includes microwaves, stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and humidifiers.

Peters Township indicated items that can be recycled. They include phones, answering machines, monitors, televisions, computers, printers, keyboards, modems, routers, scanners, stereos, CD players and recorders.

South Fayette Township also used eLoop. Since the beginning of the year, South Fayette residents have been directed to the Washington County Fairgrounds, where the Washington County Planning Commission has hosted a monthly electronics recycling service. The service is open to the public and no Washington County residential verification is needed. Andrea Iglar, South Fayette’s community development director, said the township has been working to find a permanent solution. In the interim, South Fayette residents are being directed to municipalities and others who offer the service to the public through links online at www.southfayettepa.com.

TAX TIP Question:

If you have lost your refund check, to initiate a refund trace: •You can call the IRS at 800-829-1954 (toll-free) and either use the automated system or speak with an agent. •If you filed a married filing jointly return, you cannot initiate a trace using the automated systems. The IRS will issue you a Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund, to get the replacement process started or you can download the form. Once your claim for a missing refund is processed, if the check was not cashed, you will receive a replacement after the original check is canceled. If the refund check was cashed, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) will provide you with a claim package that includes a copy of the cashed check. BFS will review your claim and the signature on the cancelled check before determining whether they can issue you a replacement check. The BFS review can take up to six weeks to complete.
