The “Area” in the Bridgeville Area Historical Society’s name is there for a good reason.

“How do you stop history in the middle of Chartiers Creek?” Mary Weise, society president, said as she explained how the history of the borough and surrounding communities is interconnected. “They grew up together.”

Besides, regarding Bridgeville: “We were part of Upper St. Clair until 1901.”

And so memorabilia from places nearby mingles with Bridgeville mementos at the historical society’s headquarters, the former Penn Central railroad station at the corner of, appropriately enough, Railroad and Station streets.

On April 16, the group celebrated its fifth anniversary of moving into the building, which previously housed Bridgeville Public

The biggest issues are health care costs and salaries. The average teacher’s salary in Peters is in excess of $70,000 a year, the district said.

Timothy Tietze, a Chester County attorney who is serving as the neutral arbitrator in the contract dispute, said earlier this month he was willing to let the two sides meet in an attempt to resolve their differences before taking any action.

Since nothing has been resolved yet, Tietze is expected to issue a ruling based on findings from both sides. The matter will go before the district and the federation’s 285 teachers, who have been working without a contract since Aug. 31, the first day of school.

The teachers went on strike for three weeks in the fall and returned to work the day after

Fifth FROM PAGE 1 The historical society has its roots in a committee formed in 1999 to assist with Bridgeville’s centennial celebration, which took place in July 2001. The organization then became its own entity, on Aug. 1, and began meeting in members’ homes.

When the library moved to its new building in 2011, the society had a fitting home: The railroad station’s origins date back to about 1870. Adjoining it is a 1928 B&O Railroad Caboose, which for many years served as the children’s library.

Inside the building is a wealth of materials, including many artifacts from old Bridgeville businesses. Prominently displayed in a case, for example, is a sign for “Weise’s New Modern Store” on Washington Avenue.

Glassware is on display from the former Bridgeville Bottling Works, which once produced “high-grade soft drinks.”

Weise told of how the society came by the first of the pieces in the collection, when a woman donated it, explaining: “My kids will throw this out if I leave it.” It turns out that the

Photographs abound at the headquarters, with many of the images displayed on a rotating basis via computer screen, providing fascinating glimpses into the area’s past. A challenge is identifying “who they are; where was this taken,” Weise said.

For instance, one photo depicts a reunion of the locally prominent Hickman family in 1920, which supposedly occurred on Elm Street in

Photographers display best of the best in Lebo

By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

HARRY FUNK / STAFF

Frank Bruns displays “Winter Snow in Yellowstone.”

The top images produced by members of the Photographic Section of the Academy of Science and Art of Pittsburgh present a contrast.

At the group’s salon open house, held April 17 at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, the second- and third-place finishers displayed scenes from their travels. The overall winner showed a scene from her home studio.

Upper St. Clair resident Nancy Koch’s “Spring Awakening” is representative of her ability to arrange everyday items and photograph them in a manner that is exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

“This is a way that I can be very creative with found objects – food, fruits and vegetables, flowers – and just create in my own studio,” she said.

Her style, which is reminiscent of Dutch painters who brought still life to the fore centuries ago, stems from her background as an art director for an advertising agency. She later had her own design business and, since selling it, really has been concentrating on photography.

The other top finishers are a married couple, Frank and Laurie Bruns of Mt. Lebanon. Frank took second with “Winter Snow in Yellow-

stone,” while Laurie presented “U Bein Bridge, Mandalay” from their excursion in the fall to Myanmar and Cambodia in southeastern Asia.

Accompanying their group on the trip and helping hone their skills with the camera was a professional photographer.

“His personal interest was in portraits, taking pictures of people,” Laurie said. “So he did a lot of work in terms of getting us to be comfortable approaching people. He gave us phrases in the language.”

Along with the top entries, many other photos in a variety of categories were on display during the salon, in both print and, via computer, digital formats.

Goats returning to Bird Park

Nancy Koch displays “Spring Awakening.”

By Harry Funk

HARRY FUNK / STAFF

Photos FROM PAGE 5 “This is our biggest competition of the year,” Koch said, “and we don’t use club members as judges. We have outside professional photographers as judges, from all different aspects of photography. It’s interesting to see how different photographers view and judge the same works of art.”

The Photographic Section of the Academy of Science and Art of Pittsburgh, one of the oldest such groups in the United States, traces its roots to 1885 with the start of the Pittsburgh Amateur Photographer’s Society.

Five years later, the club became part of the academy, which was founded by Andrew Carnegie.

Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

In recent years, the club has grown to a membership of about 125.

“With the opening of digital,” Frank Bruns said about advances in photographic technology, “my understanding is that this started bringing people who had creative ideas but needed something that was a little easier.”

Editing software has enhanced the technology further.

“Everybody is beginning to not only take interesting shots, they’re able to work on them so they come out and pop,” Bruns said.

The section meets three times a month at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, often featuring guest speakers, and regularly has competitions.

“Everybody helps each other,” Koch said.

“We’re always interested in learning and getting better at our craft.”

Goats are returning to Mt. Lebanon’s Bird Park.

For those who enjoyed watching the animals chomp on undesirable plants during their visit in September, they’ll be back around April 26 for an approximate three-week stay.

“It would basically be the same logistics as last year,” Thomas Schevtchuk, representing the Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy, told municipal commissioners at their April 12 discussion session.

Steel City Grazers, a business that co-owner Doug Placais described during the previous visit as “sort of like an eco-friendly landscaping operation,” plans to bring in the goats to clear about two acres’ worth of plants in the northeastern portion of the park.

“They’d be contained by a portable batterypowered and solar-powered fence, which would not be dangerous if anybody was fool enough to touch it,” Schevtchuk explained. “But it would give them a zap.”

The public works department also will install plastic orange fencing “to keep people back a safe distance,” he said. The nature conservancy is covering the $2,500 cost.

The goats were brought in last year as part of an ongoing effort to clear invasive species of plants from local parks. The animals are resistant to urushiol, the organic allergen found in the likes of poison ivy.

HARRY FUNK / STAFF

Goats take a break from invasive plants to eat some goat food during their September stay in Bird Park.

In September, they cleared about an acre in Bird Park near its entrance at the Beadling Road parking lot.

“In fact, we had to expand the fence line because the goats ate so voraciously,” Schevtchuk said. “They were done in about a week or so in our original area.”

He said the hope is that the goats will be grazing until Mt. Lebanon elementary students have an opportunity to visit as part of a School in the Park program, scheduled for May 10-13.

“After the goats leave, we will go back in and reseed, and work with public works to do tree planting,” he explained. A similar effort occurred in the area the goats cleared last year.

For those who remember the goats’ companion, Schevtchuk had some good news: “We think that Hobo, the guard donkey, will make a return appearance.”

editorial

Exploring the stars It’s called a “starchip,” and that’s not a typo.

Physicist Stephen Hawking and entrepreneur Yuri Milner last week announced a project to send tiny spacecraft – not much larger than postage stamps and weighing less than an ounce – toward stars trillions of miles away.

Propelled by energy from a powerful array of Earth-based lasers, the spacecraft – perhaps hundreds or thousands of them – would fly at about a fifth the velocity of light. At that speed, they could reach the closest stars to our sun, the binary Alpha Centauri system, in about 20 years.

There are some hurdles the Starshot project must clear, however.

First, neither the spacecraft nor the lasers to propel them have been invented yet; and second, how could such tiny spaceships get the power to send back observations, which would take 4.3 years to receive?

Hawking believes these technical obstacles could be overcome and the starchips could be launched “within a generation.”

Milner said the spacecraft might discover planets.

But planets orbiting stars even farther away are being discovered nearly every day, and astronomers are doing that the old-fashioned way – with telescopes and mathematics.

The Starshot project has grabbed the spotlight, but there are other worthy scientific efforts going on that will yield new discoveries, and do so much faster.

NASA’s Solar Probe Plus, scheduled for launch in 2018, will explore the closest star to Earth: our own Sun, which it will orbit above at 3.7 million miles. Solar Probe is expected to reach an orbit speed of 450,000 miles per hour, faster than any spacecraft has ever traveled. But even if that craft were to head off to Alpha Centauri at that pace – .067 the speed of light – it would take 6,417 years to reach its destination.

Astronomers detected one, and possibly two, Earthsized planets orbiting one of the Alpha Centauri stars, although the findings have been disputed. To verify the existence of this planet would require too many hours of dedicated observation by the Hubble telescope. According to the website New Scientist, upcoming instruments like the European Extremely Large Telescope or the Cheops space telescope might be able to see the new planet, but the best option could be a small satellite dedicated to staring at Alpha Centauri. Such a mission would cost only around $2 million.

The Starshot micro fleet is a fascinating idea, but a low-budget alternative has a big advantage: we wouldn’t have to wait 25 years to learn about what it found.

letter to the editor

Closest to godliness presidential choice is Kasich When a candidate seeks the nomination of his or her party for office, they agree to the rules of the game. Not so, of course, with Donald Trump, the would be potentate-inchief who has always made the rules, not having to stoop to abide by what others have decreed.

The Republican Party, which solely determines the criteria for an individual to snag its presidential nomination, mandates that in order to win on the first ballot, the contender must secure not the greatest number of delegates, but 50 percent + one, or 1237.

Even a man so lacking in intellect, reason and common sense as Mr. Trump recognizes that it is now virtually impossible for him to secure the requisite number of delegates to sew up the nomination on the first ballot and that a contested convention is highly likely. Perhaps his advisers have told him so. Consequently, he is now hysterically charging that individuals are plotting

to “steal” the nomination from him and he implicitly promises retaliation, that there will be “trouble” if he does not emerge from Cleveland a winner, serving to encourage “riots.”

It is unfortunate for Trump that the Secret Service has decreed that firearms will not be permitted at the convention, a nutty idea which was not surprisingly embraced by the gun party, the GOP. If attendees could bring guns with them to the event, they could get a strong boost in fomenting mayhem in the streets when Trump goes down to defeat.

Among all of the outrageous and offensive things Donald Trump has done, near the top of the list is his demand that he be nominated despite not having the required number of delegates. He and his fellow hater, Ted Cruz, have done so much damage to the party that not even a unifier like John Kasich will be able to put the pieces together

and be competitive in the general election.

The only way the Democrats could lose in November would be to offer Democratic Socialist, Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, as its standard-bearer. Party leaders are not going to allow that to happen. Despite all of her warts, Hillary Clinton is the individual who is all but certain to be our next president as the Republican Party has committed suicide.

I will vote in good conscience for John Kasich on April 26, having to temporarily become a member of the party which has betrayed me and America. We have heard a lot of talk about God in this race from the holier than thou candidates who seek to meld government and religion. The choice for president which comes closest to godliness is John Kasich.

The budget will continue to be refined until final budget adoption in June 2016, and the district is looking at various attritional reductions. The proposed final budget deadline is May 16, and final budget approval is expected on June 21.

PT weighs last steps for potential gas drilling

By David Singer For The Almanac dsinger@observer-reporter.com

Peters Township Council is faced with a choice: make special zoning districts to allow for natural gas drilling, or prepare to show evidence the municipality can’t host the industrial activity ahead of any potential legal challenge, according to Manager Michael Silvestri.

Following a public workshop Monday helmed by the chairman of the West Virginia University School of Public Health, it seems that council has exhausted its research and turned over every stone on potential options.

“I feel like I’m in ‘Groundhog Day.’ This deja vu over the same questions. We just keep going round and round, and I want off this merry-goround. We need to act,” said Councilman James Berquist after more than a year of public hearings and workshops.

The latest proposal is to allocate special agricultural districts that prohibit future residential development, but allow simultaneous industrial and farming activity, according to Silvestri. But council is not under any specific time limit to pass an ordinance allowing those, or to prepare evidence in case of a legal challenge from an applicant or potential lessor.

The multi-district zones are proposed in three areas near Simmons Farm off Justabout Road, near Venetia Road going toward Finleyville, and near Route 88.

difference. I’m not sure it’s satisfactory to say, ‘Hey, by the way, you’ve had some exposure and are at acute risk to pollutants,’ especially concerning the constitutional rights of Pennsylvanians to clean air,” Smith said, “because that approach is selecting modeling versus monitoring: Do we prepare for expected effects and try to mitigate those, or track them as they go? One doesn’t really help the other.”

Peters Twp. resident details work as war crimes investigator

By Harry Funk Multimedia reporter hfunk@thealmanac.net

When John Cencich arrived in the war-torn former Yugoslavia in 1998, he found that he had become a center of attention.

“Everywhere we went, we had foreign intelligence service following us,” the Peters Township resident recalled. “We had elements of organized crime following us. We had satellites trying to track us. Everybody wanted to know what we were doing. And there was a good reason for it.”

As a senior international war crimes investigator for the United Nations, Cencich was part of a team that ultimately achieved its objective: “We ended up indicting the president of a country, the first sitting head of state that’s ever been indicted.”

Cencich spoke April 17 at St. Gregory Byzantine Catholic Church in Upper St. Clair, where he is a member, to launch the church’s new Speaker’s Platform series. His topic was the book he wrote about his experiences, “The Devil’s Garden: A War Crimes Investigator’s Story.”

His story in that regard starts with him reporting to the U.N. center in The Hague, Netherlands, prior to heading to the location of one of the world’s bloodiest post-World War II conflicts.

“I really thought I had seen it all,” Cencich, a U.S. Air Force veteran with a long career in law enforcement, said. “Within minutes, I realized that everything that I had done in my 20 years

John Cencich references his book, “The Devil’s Garden: A War Crimes Investigator’s Story.” prior to that paled in comparison to what was about to take place.”

The United Nations was looking into atrocities that occurred during fighting involving many of the ethnic groups that constituted the former Yugoslavia. The breakup of that country in the early 1990s brought long-standing tensions to a head.

“Everybody was turning on one another,”

Cencich said.

At the center of the investigation was the Republic of Serbia, with its leaders – including the president, Slobodan Milošević – facing accusations of promulgating ethnic cleansing.

Cencich and his colleagues faced considerable danger “probably every day. That’s not hyperbole,” he said.

As an example, he showed a slide dated March

thealmanac.net

16, 1999, depicting a heavily damaged vehicle.

“Here, I missed this car explosion by 10 minutes,” Cencich recalled.

Although the photos he displayed contained no overly disturbing images, his descriptions of some of the incidents he investigated were reminiscent of the most heinous crimes committed during World War II. Cencich wrapped up his talk by detailing “some of the major perpetrators, not the people who pulled the trigger.” Among them was Milan Bobic, who served as the first president of the socalled Republic of Serbian Krajina, an area that wanted to break away from Croatia.

“He was probably the most remorseful person,” Cencich explained. “We got him to testify against Milosevic, so his sentence was minimized.”

But, he added, Bobic was found dead in his prison cell on the day he was supposed to testify against another Serbian leader, Milan Martić.

“In the end, we convinced a guy by the name of Zoran Dindić, the prime minister of Serbia, to surrender Slobodan Milošević to us,” Cencich said. As for Dindić: “It wasn’t long after that, he was assassinated.”

As for Milošević, he died of an apparent heart attack in 2006, while he was on trial.

Cencich, who recently served as a moderator for History’s series “Hunting Hitler,” gave his opinion about the subjects of his investigations.

“I do believe that there are evil forces,” he said, “and what I went face-to-face with were some of them.”

APRIL 21-MAY 22

‘TRU’ Pittsburgh Public Theater presents Broadway actor Eddie Korbich as Truman Capote in “TRU,” a one-man play by Jay Presson Allen based on Capote’s words and works.

Directed by The Public’s Producing Artistic Director Ted Pappas, “TRU” runs April 21–May 22 at the O’Reilly Theater in the Cultural District.

Eddie Korbich as Truman Capote

OPEN HOUSE

Truman Capote was acclaimed in 1948, at age 23, when his first novel “Other Voices, Other Rooms” was published. After that his star rapidly ascended.

“TRU” takes place in 1975 in Capote’s New York apartment, shortly after Esquire magazine published a chapter from his promised novel, “Answered Prayers.”

The story dished the dirt about the rich and powerful in his circle, salaciously naming names and telling all. The writer thought his friends would be amused. Instead they were horrified. With humor and candor, Capote tells the audience how he got to this turning point: his unconventional childhood, his celebrity pals, his deepest secrets. In “TRU,” the revelations of this reckless genius become a theatrical tour de force.

The Washington Composite Squadron, local unit of Civil Air Patrol, will host an open house 1-4 p.m. April 30 at the Washington Flyers’ Club, located at the Washington County Airport. Members of the squadron will be present to greet visitors and explain CAP’s missions for America. There will also be a static aircraft display with a variety of aircraft available to view. The event is being held to celebrate Civil Air Patrol’s 75th anniversary. An optional spaghetti dinner to raise funds for the Washington Flyers’ Club will follow the open house.

FOR TICKETS, CALL 412-316-1600 OR VISIT PPT.ORG.

community news Fitness fundraiser benefits JDRF Mecka Fitness in Mt. Lebanon partnered with Moms Steel Runnin’, a team of 12 strong, fitness fanatical Upper St. Clair moms, to host 32FIGHTONE, a medley of three workouts (rowing, cycling and running) for one cause: the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

The fitness fundraiser, which consisted of a 2,000 meter row, a 10 mile cycle, and a 5K outdoor run in a team relay format, took place April 2 at Mecka.

“Last year, the Moms Steel Runnin’ group ran its first Ragnar Relay on Cape Cod. The 12 women hit the road and ran 200 miles cumulatively from Hull to Provincetown, Mass.,” said Alisa James, event coordinator. “And the minute the race ended, we committed to running it again this year, but in support of our teammate’s daughter, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last summer. ” Seventy people participated in the event, raising about $2,000, double the goal. The organization is still accepting donations and will be participating in a Ragnar Relay (a 200mile race) May 13-14 in Cape Cod to bring even more awareness to the disease.

Mrs. Marcinko explained, “Robbie was promoted to a position in Australia, and the couple wanted to marry prior to leaving the USA. Prov-

No more the field of dreams Sweeney carries on despite end of sports career

The crack of the bat. The pop of the leather mitt when squeezed, catching the baseball.

The smell of freshly mowed grass.

Each spring, Liam Sweeney embraced those things when he donned his Seton-La Salle uniform. Today, he dreads the diamond. He grapples instead with the reality of not playing the sport that he loves because of a near-paralyzing injury incurred on the football field last fall.

It was a simple play but with multiple ramifications, mostly negative, for Sweeney.

The 6-2, 205-pound fullback had taken a toss from his quarterback during Seton-La Salle’s Century Conference showdown with rival South Fayette. As Sweeney motioned outside, he collided, face-to-face, with a defender.

“When I hit (the other player) I had a complete sting of my body. I didn’t feel anything. I was on the ground, and all I was wondering was, am I paralyzed?”

Somehow, Sweeney summoned the strength to get up. “But,” he said, “I couldn’t feel my legs underneath me.”

Sweeney collapsed again. As he lay back on the ground, he prayed to God “that I could get up and walk again,” he said. “It ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF was scary.

The fast and the furious. At Seton-La Salle, that’s Raja Rutherford. The senior is a onewoman track team for the Rebels. Plus, she owns school records in sprints and jumps.

For as long as she can remember, Rutherford has been fast. At age 6, when her father noticed her out-running her friends in the backyard, Rod Rutherford immediately took her to Neville Island to train with the Stallions.

“My first meet was there and I practiced there. I was kind of fast,” admitted Rutherford. “I fell in love with track.”

Rutherford also thrilled at jumping. In addition to the 100- and 200-meter dashes, she excels at long and triple jumps.

“When I’m actually (jumping), I come alive,” she said. “It’s such an extreme feeling that you don’t get when you are doing the one or the two hundred. I’ve always loved roller coasters. The drops and the highs,” she added.

“That’s kind of like the rush you feel when you are jumping.”

This spring, so far, has been a rush for Rutherford. She opened the season by dominating the sixth annual Warrior Track and Field Classic held at Central Valley. She garnered four gold medals. She finished first in the 100 (12.70) and 200 (26.63) dashes then won the long jump (16 feet, 6 inches) as well as the triple jump (35-1).

At last weekend’s Tri-state Track Coaches Association meet held at West Mifflin, Rutherford lowered her marks to 25.87 in the 200 for the bronze medal and 12.60 for fourth place in the 100. Burrell’s Nicole Scherer won both events. Rutherford also managed 11th in the triple jump and 24th in the long jump against competition that included Class AAA contestants as well as Rutherford’s Class AA division.

“Raja is coming into her own,” said SLS track coach Mark Wright. “It’s challenging for her because she trains all by herself. We have no track here at Seton and she basically is the team.

Canon-McMillan’s Gladden breezes to WPIAL tennis title Chris Gladden finally reached the top rung of the tennis ladder in the WPIAL. After reaching the Final Four as a sophomore and finishing runner-up as a junior, the Canon-McMillan senior capped his scholastic career by claiming the District 7 title. Gladden defeated Sidd Rajupet in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, to claim the WPIAL Class AAA boys’ championship.

“It was awesome,” Gladden said. “Last year was a great experience, but winning is a lot different than taking second. I felt I was in it every point and when I got that last point, it was such a relief.”

The victory took the sting out of last year’s loss to Latrobe’s Chad Kissell in the 2015 final and sets Gladden up for a strong run in the PIAA tournament. Kissell won the state title last year. The PIAA tournament is set for May 27-28 at the Hershey Racquet Club.

Gladden is ranked No. 1 in the state and in the Top 100 nationally in USTA tournaments.

The Marist College recruit was the bronze medalist in the 2015 PIAA tournament.

Chris Gladden Gladden breezed through the WPIAL tournament. He blanked Butler’s Edwin Fitz, 10- of Pine-Richland in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, to 0, and allowed one point in beating Moon’s reach the finals against Rajupet.

Logan D’Angelo, 10-1, He swept Ben Vinarski Although he had been there before, Glad-

den was apprehensive heading into the district championships. But, it didn’t take long for him to find his groove.

“I was a little nervous going in because I knew Sidd was a great player, but once I found my style, I felt more confident,” Gladden said.

“It was a really cool experience.”

Gladden embarked on his quest for the WPIAL crown when he successfully defended his section title. He cruised through the Section 4-AAA tournament to earn his berth in the district finals.

During this year’s sectional championships, Gladden dispatched Charlie Strohl from Mt. Lebanon, 6-0, 6-1, for the title.

After receiving a first-round bye, Gladden blanked Sammy Bellin of Chartiers Valley and Ryan Farrell from Peters Township, 10-0, to reach the semifinals of the Section 4-AAA tournament. In the Final Four match, Gladden defeated John Rutkowski from Montour, 10-3.

Strohl worked his way into the championship clash against Gladden after a hard-fought win over Miguel Ascencio Jr. from Peters Township, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), in the semifinals.

Strohl had shutout Casey Shaw of Trinity and Scott Russell of Upper St. Clair, 10-0, in the

RAJA RUTHERFORD FILE

FROM PAGE 29 “Raja is very self-motivated. She’s a hard worker, dedicated and committed. You rarely find somebody with her work ethic. That’s why she is successful.”

Since entering Seton-La Salle as a freshman, Rutherford has experienced success. She holds school records in the 100 (12.6) and long jump (17 feet, 10.5 inches). Plus, she is on the cusp of shattering the 200-meter mark. A PIAA qualifier as a freshman, she finished fourth in the long jump and 11th in the 200 at last year’s WPIAL championships. She placed ninth in the jump at the PIAA finals.

Rutherford did all of that while nursing an injury. During an indoor meet at Kent State, she experienced tightness in her quad muscle.

Stretching and warm-ups did not make the discomfort go away. Yet, Rutherford ran anyway.

“I was taking ibuprofen for the pain,” she said with a laugh. “I just pushed through it.”

When Rutherford was diagnosed, she had pushed through a level three tear of her quad muscle in two different spots in her thigh. Plus, she had suffered several blood clots during her ordeal.

“My junior year was amazing, considering,” said Rutherford. “I enjoyed it, especially at states, being around people who love doing what I do. And, this year, coming off the bad injury, I think I am making progress.”

Rutherford insured she would progress by supplementing her indoor workouts with a stint on the basketball team. She had competed in softball the season prior, but basketball met her training objectives.

“In softball, there is not as much running, but it does help with hand-eye coordination,” she explained. “As far as basketball, I thought, why not. I played in middle school. If I had kept at it, I would have been decent,” she admitted.

“I did have the skills and talent. But I thought that basketball would help me through the winter. I used it to focus on conditioning.”

Because she had nowhere to train for track in the winter, Rutherford turned to the gym.

In addition to helping the Rebels win a section title and reach the WPIAL playoffs, she separated her training regiment into sprinting days and jumping days. She ran steps and hurdled obstacles as well as did interval training, concentrating on 800 runs as well as multiple sprint distances between 100 and 300 meters.

Rutherford did all this while also continuing to excel in her class work and extracurricular activities. She maintains a 3.7 GPA. Plus, she is involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Miracle League, Dance Committee and Environmental Club.

Ascencio reached the semifinals by besting Lebo’s Christian Vietmeier, 10-8, and West Allegheny’s Quinn Sterner, 10-0, in his earlier rounds of competition.

Among the area’s other competitors in the sectional included: CV’s Ryan Estatico, USC’s Kevin Kwok as well as Bethel Park’s James Ference and Kyle Copelan.

Emily Barton from Seton-La Salle advanced to the quarterfinals of the Section 4-AA tournament before falling to eventual champion Luke Ross of Sewickley Academy. Barton won her first-round match against Colin Henke of Carlynton, 10-3.

Barton’s teammate, Leo Wilson, along with the Keystone Oaks duo of Mike Shanahan and Josh Snell, competed in the sectional as well.

All fell in the first round of the competition.

The section doubles tournaments will be held April 18-19 with the WPIAL championships set for April 25-26. The team championship event runs from May 9-13. The PIAA team tournament is scheduled for May 20-21 while the state singles and doubles championships will be held May 27-28 in Hershey.

giving up so much for me to come here.”

Through track, Rutherford has a “shot at a dream.” She hopes to gain a scholarship to run track in college. So far, Slippery Rock, Bethany, Robert Morris and Point Park universities have expressed interest in her talents. Strong showings at big meets down the road such as the WPIAL and PIAA championships could draw more offers.

“The goal is to run in college,” Rutherford said candidly. “I also want to go to states and do well. Of course, I would love to win. It’s my last shot and I am going to do whatever it takes. I’m going to continue working hard. I’ll never be able to do this again, so I want to leave a good taste in my mouth. If I win, I will be so happy.”

Peters Township High School to celebrate 50 years of baseball Peters Township High School will celebrate more than 50 years of baseball April 29-May 1.

Three days of activities are planned for alumni of the program.

Festivities begin April 29 with player introductions prior to the Indians’ Section 5-AAAA clash against Mt. Lebanon. Intros begin at 6:35 at Peterswood Park. Matty DiAngelo will throw out the first pitch at 7:15 p.m.

At high noon April 30, also at Peterswood Park, the alumni will square off in a baseball game. A picnic follows at 3 p.m. The weekend concludes with a golf outing May 1.

“We are fortunate that many of our baseball alumni have remained or moved back into the community or they live in the Pittsburgh area,” said Joe Maize, who with Frank Ciocci managed the Indians over the course of 50 years.

“We hope that players who do not live in the immediate area will come home to visit their family and friends and relive the good times of growing up and playing baseball in Peters Township.”

The event is sponsored by the Peters Township Diamondbackers Baseball Boosters and special recognition will be paid to two of the community’s prominent crusaders of the sport.

Matty and Sally DiAngelo served as coaches in the recreation program. They also served as president of the association at different times.

Matt also managed the American Legion program.

According to Maize, “because of the dedication, persistence and hard work of the DiAnge-

BY ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

Joe Maize has been one of only two managers during the more than 50 years of Peters Township baseball. The organization will host a special reunion weekend April 29-May 1. los, Peters Township Baseball has been one of the few baseball programs in Western Pennsylvania that has been able to play baseball games under the lights. The DiAngelos were the leaders in raising over $100,000 to get our fields at Peterswood Park under those lights.”

On Nov. 22, 2015, however, Sally passed away. “The Peters Township baseball family lost a very special ‘baseball mom,’” said Maize.

She will be honored for the contributions she made during the alumni weekend. “We want to recognize her for everything she did to make Peters Township a special place,” Maize added.

For over 10 years, the booster club has provided scholarships to graduating seniors. The money was awarded to qualified seniors that

were recognized for their academic success and leadership on the team.

This year, the scholarship will be renamed the Diamondbackers/Sally DiAngelo Memorial Scholarship. Addtionally, the organization will conduct its first Sally DiAngelo Memorial Golf Outing scheduled on Aug. 22, at Valley Brook Country Club. The money raised from the golf outing will go towards the scholarship fund.

For more details on the weekend activities or the golf outing in August, email maizej@pt-sd. org or call 724-809-1689.

NOTES: Heading into this week’s baseball action, the Indians found themselves in the thick of the race for the Section 5-AAA banner.

Lebo, to whom the Indians lost, 5-4, last week, and Bethel Park led the league with 5-1 slates after wins against Upper St. Clair and Baldwin respectively. The Indians slipped ahead of Baldwin in the race for second place.

With wins against USC, 5-3, and Canon-McMillan, 10-3, PT improved to 4-2 in the league and 6-5 overall. In Monday’s win against the Big Macs, Eric Riotto pitched and hit his way to victory. The junior righthander smacked a two-run triple in the third inning. Alex Mundy’s three-run double highlighted the fifth frame.

Conor Manning also smashed a run-scoring double in the contest. Tor Sehnert tagged a triple in the game.

The Indians get the chance to avenge their section losses when they visit Bethel Park at 4 p.m. April 25 at Purkey Field and host Mt. Lebanon at 7 p.m. April 29 at Peterswood Park.

BY ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

Peters Township’s Eric Riotto reaches back for something extra to put on his pitch during baseball action against Mt. Lebanon. Despite a 5-4 loss to the Blue Devils, the Indians rebounded to beat Upper St. Clair, 5-3, and Canon-McMillan, 10-3. Riotto was the winning pitcher against the Big Macs.

CYM champs St. Bernard won the 2015-16 CYM Pittsburgh Diocese junior varsity basketball championship, defeating St. Catherine, 55-50 in the semifinals and St. Maurice, 48-43, in the finals, played at Bishop Canevin High School. The Chargers were 16-1 overall, including 10-0 in section play, winning the South League title. St. Maurice handed St. Bernard its lone loss of the season. Pictured from left are: (standing) head coach, Chris Curran, Bradley Hodgson, James Colacito, Ryan Gaughan, Chris Kahl, Luke Morgan, Spencer Curran, Brock McCormack, Luke Rolfsen, assistant Malcolm Koval; (kneeling): Andrew Jesserer, Hunter Noble, Christian George, Charlie Gordon and Cory Koval.

Sweeney FROM PAGE 29 Shortly after he left the field, Sweeney regained sensation in his legs. In fact, he re-entered the game. After a long pause, he admitted, from a health standpoint, it was not the smartest move. While going back into the contest did not hurt him further, Sweeney consented he was playing “Russian roulette” with his health the remainder of the game, a 17-14 loss to the Lions.

Once home, the Mt. Lebanon resident knew there was something terribly wrong “because my whole body …” he paused. “I never had a feeling like that before. I was stinging in my whole body still.”

When he went to school on Monday, Sweeney sought the advice of the trainer because he actually thought he suffered a concussion from the tackle.

“I didn’t think anything about my neck, because the hit wasn’t helmet-to-helmet. I thought it was a concussion.” Sweeney added that he had feeling in all his limbs although it was “tingly.”

That symptom proved significant, enough that Sweeney spent the remainder of the week being examined by physicians and specialists.

Tests and an MRI revealed stenosis as well as a spinal cord bruise and a herniated disc. Until the injury occurred, the 18-year-old senior was unaware of the stenosis, a condition he has had his entire life. Because of the other issues to his spinal cord, Sweeney underwent surgery. During the procedure, the C-5 and C-6 discs in his vertebrae were fused.

“The surgery was a result of the hit,” he said. “I could have been paralyzed.”

Sweeney’s mother, Heather, who is a hospice nurse, concurred.

“Liam literally was millimeters away from paralysis,” she said. “For whatever reason, my son was spared. Maybe it was luck. Maybe God has something else in mind for him. But, I thank God every time I watch him walk.”

Two weeks after Dr. Joon Lee of UPMC Montefiore performed the spinal fusion and disc replacement on Feb. 2, Sweeney was up, walking and “feeling fine.”

32 • APRIL 20-26, 2016

“Going into surgery, though, I was terrified,” he said. “I am very afraid of needles. I’m not a fan of it. The surgery paid off in the end, but it was an experience that I will never forget.”

Sweeney can’t forget. The outcome won’t let him. After seeking opinion after opinion from renowned doctors such as Lee as well as Dr. Michael Oh, Dr. Joseph Maroon and Dr. James Kang, the consensus was the same: no more contact sports, even baseball, because of his condition and because of the weakness caused by the instability of his neck due to the fusion.

“Something wrong could happen to that,” Sweeney explained, “and there is also damage to my spinal cord already.”

Mrs. Sweeney agreed. “We were told that it’s still a very high risk for further paralysis above or below his fusion,” she said.

The hit and the surgery, indeed, changed the course of Sweeney’s life as well as his team. Before the season-ending injury, he had racked up 67 tackles, 15 for losses, and recorded six sacks.

“Our defense was never the same after his injury,” SLS football coach Damon Rosol said of his three-year starter. “We also had a void in leadership on both side of the ball,” Rosol added, indicating the impact Sweeney had as a two-year starter at fullback.

An all-conference linebacker, Sweeney had also committed to the University of Albany. His father, Jim, who played 16 seasons in the NFL with the Jets, Seahawks and Steelers, is an offensive line coach for the Great Danes. Now he will attend Slippery Rock University and pursue a career in safety management.

“I’m real cautious and I want everything to be right,” Sweeney said. “So, I think (safety management) will be a good career for me. I like to keep people safe and protected.”

Though he has been unable to protect his teams physically from losses after his injury, Sweeney provides an emotional uplift to his teammates as well as leadership from his years of experience in sports.

“After his injury, there was understandably a slight grieving process that Liam went through with the games he loves to play being taken away from him,” said Rosol. “However, Liam rebounded nicely and basically turned into a

young coach for my staff and our team. Whether it was practice or games, he was there to work with his teammates and try to help in any way he could. I am not sure that every kid in the same boat would have responded like he did. I feel this is a great testament to the attitude and character this young man possesses.”

Although he holds out hope of playing baseball this season, Sweeney attempts to contribute anyway he can. He attends all practices and games. An all-star catcher, he tries to dispense pointers to younger players as they battle for a playoff spot.

“I just try to do what I can. Try to give advice from my experiences,” he said. “I think I have been through a lot of varsity games where I can give some of my knowledge to the younger guys and try to help them calm down. It’s not easy playing high school varsity sports.”

It’s even harder giving them up earlier than anticipated.

“It’s like having somebody die in your life,” Sweeney said of not being able to compete. “It’s unnatural. It’s not something that I want to wake up knowing that I can’t play.

“I love football and baseball equally. When it’s baseball season, I’m all for baseball. I’m a baseball player. When it’s football season, I’m a football player.

“It kills me not being able to play,” he continued. “All I’ve wanted was to get a WPIAL championship.”

As a sophomore, Sweeney came close. But Steel Valley came from behind to beat the Rebels, 6-5, for the WPIAL Class AA baseball title.

Sweeney remembers vividly the photo printed in a local newspaper of him smashing his catcher’s mask down onto the ground as the winning run crossed the plate.

“I was so disgusted,” he said. “Watching that run come across the plate might have been one of the most painful games of my life.”

Sweeney’s inability to compete in sports has been painful for his parents to watch. They remember his first no-hitter three years ago. They recall last year’s harbringer of things to come. In 2015, Sweeney put up all-star numbers at the plate, batting .476, after a sensational sophomore season driving in 22 runs and guiding the Rebels to the district finals.

thealmanac.net

“This isn’t a boy who lost interest in sports,” said Heather Sweeney. “It’s like taking the air from his lungs. All his life, Liam wanted to carve out his own path, not simply live in the shadows of his father’s NFL career. From the time Liam was 3, he loved sports. Seeing this happen to him has been one of the most devastating blows in our lives as parents, not because we ever expected him to play professionally, but because he purely loves football and baseball for the love of the game.

“I have watched this boy lose what he loved more than life, but he continues to be strong and smile,” Mrs. Sweeney continued. “He works out in the garage by himself now. He works harder in school.”

Excelling in the classroom has replaced sports for Sweeney. He said that he is taking all the hard work and effort he expended on sports and is putting it toward his schoolwork and pursuing his life as it is. His injury taught him an important, yet cruel, life lesson, he added.

“Treat everything as if it’s the last time (you’ll do it), because you never know when it’s going to end. It also has shown me that there are a whole lot of other things in life that are more important than sports. I’m more motivated to do schoolwork now because I know that I don’t have sports to lean on.”

While he hopes against hope to be able to play “full-speed sports again some day,” Sweeney does not discount contributing his acumen in a different manner in the future. Perhaps coaching is an option?

“I’ve always wanted to coach, but I think that would be something that I wanted to look into a little later in life.”

Mrs. Sweeney sees her son contributing from the bench already.

“Liam didn’t walk away (from sports) on his own terms,” she said. “Yet, he had the wisdom to realize that walking is more important than playing a game. That those steps we take every day for granted, mean a whole lot more when you feel your body paralyzed on a football field.

“I realize what could have been but one day, hopefully this season, I will get that boy back on a field, mentoring his friends and younger boys.

And we will smell that fresh cut grass and realize how wonderful it is to walk across that field.

This time in a different role.”

South Fayette residents to get larger recycling bins this spring Management trucks that will lift and empty bins without the driver having to exit the vehicle. Collection schedules will remain the same and details about the new system are available in the first volume of South Fayette Connect Magazine.

South Fayette residents can look forward to a new way of recycling coming to the township this May. In a presentation at the April 13 South Fayette commissioners’ meeting, Waste Management presented new, larger recycling bins that will be delivered to homes this spring for use beginning May 12.

The 64-gallon bins will work in conjunction with a mechanical arm attached to Waste

Harrisburg to receive the honor for excellence in online communication, including the new South Fayette Township website and the township’s social media.

A public hearing was held at the beginning of the board of commissioners’ meeting to discuss the application for conditional use for a marquee sign at the Newbury Market. The sign would boast the Newbury Market name along with “South Fayette” and the names of individual retailers. The Planning Commission recommended its approval and the motion to approve the conditional use passed.

The board discussed an annual inspection proposal for two bridges that would utilize an outside company to inspect the bridges not maintained by PennDOT every year. They also reviewed a bid by Victor Paving & Construction Inc. for this summer’s proposed paving project. The $673,872 bid was the only one received for the project and township engineer Mike Benton considers the price to be fair. Victor Paving & Construction would work with South Fayette Public Works to complete repairs on roughly 11 miles of road.

Opinions vary on who has strength in area housing market

By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

When it comes to the state of the South Hills housing market, it depends on who you ask.

Some local realtors said it’s a seller’s market because of the lack of available listings in South Hills communities – some sellers have had to sift through multiple offers for their homes.

“It is a seller’s market for clean and updated homes,” said Mark Ratti Sr. of Re/Max CSI in Upper St. Clair. “If it is a good listing, it will sell quickly.”

Added Mac McIlraith of Century 21 Rise/ McIlraith in Brentwood, “Houses are selling rapidly and there are multiple offers. We had a good January and the mortgage rates are holding steady.”

And once summer begins, the market will become even busier and more listings will be available, they say.

Jeff Earley of Northwood Realty Services in Upper St. Clair said once children are out of school some home owners decide they would like to be in a new home by September.

“But, right now inventory in the South Hills is on the low side and that is helping sellers out,” said Earley, adding that demand is so high that he showed one available house 20 times in a four-day span.

“The question I am getting asked often is ‘Jeff, when are more houses coming on the market?’” he said.

The average sales price in February for the 17-county Western Pennsylvania region was $156,000, down 5.5 percent from February 2015’s sales figure of $165,000, according to Multi-List statistics.

With mortgage rates hovering around 3.875 percent for a traditional, fixed-rate, 30-year mortgage, there are going to be even more people looking at houses than ever before, he said.

“If a house is in decent shape and priced correctly, it will sell,” Earley said. “Buyers are not dumb.”

Overall, in the 17-county Western Pennsylvania area, it is a different story.

The West Penn Multi-List Inc., which tracks the region’s sales and listings, showed in February there were 2,888 homes listed for sale. This total is up 22.5 percent from February 2015’s total of 2,358.

The average sales price in February was $156,000, down 5.5 percent from February

2015’s sales figure of $165,000, according to Multi-List statistics.

“With prices and mortgage rates remaining low, first-time homebuyers are in an ideal position to purchase a home,” said Ron Croushore, current president of West Penn Multi-List and owner and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, The Preferred Realty in Pittsburgh, one of Western Pennsylvania’s largest residential real estate companies.

“Now that supply and demand are back in balance at the optimal eight-months inventory level, homebuyers have more options from which to choose,” Croushore said.

In the South Hills housing market, there is also a question of how the ongoing Washington

County real estate assessment will impact sales.

Allegheny County’s last property reassessment was in 2012.

“Washington County was hot because of property taxes,” Ratti said. “But now you have the reassessment taking place.”

The ongoing reassessment of the county’s 120,000 property parcels – 80,000 of which are residential – is the result of a lawsuit filed by the McGuffey and Washington school districts in 2008. The two school boards claimed many properties, particularly commercial and industrial properties, were under assessed and not paying enough in taxes.

New property values for the county and its municipalities go into effect Jan. 1, 2017. Because school districts follow the state’s fiscal year, which ends June 30, their new property assessment will not go into effect until July 1, 2017. Owners have until Aug. 10 to file an appeal once they receive their new assessment. All appeals will be held by Oct. 31.

Mary Lou Hagman, an associate broker with Re/Max Home Center in McMurray, said the Peters housing market is strong. At the end of March, for example, there were 147 active listings – covering all price points – in the township.

“The market, as I see it, is in full spring selling mode,” Hagman said. “There are ample listings and it’s a buyer’s market.

“I am now seeing a number of offers on homes at different prices,” she said. “I have a $500,000 listing and I have three offers.”

A: In Pennsylvania, condominiums and planned

communities are quite common. These types of communities are generally managed by boards or associations. The homeowner’s association is the governing body of the subdivision or complex. All members must pay fees and conform to the restrictions and rules of the association which help to maintain the quality of life for the community’s residents and protect appearance and value. Each member of the homeowner’s association pays assessments that are used to cover expenses of the development (landscaping, sidewalk, clubhouses, etc.) and any other items authorized by the governing documents.
