The scenes at Upper St. Clair and Peters Township high schools could have been any parent’s worst nightmare.

There were smashed-up cars with bloodied teenagers, dressed for the prom, wandering around or being assisted by medical personnel, or even being taken by helicopter or ambulance to a hospital for treatment.

Or even worse yet, being placed in a hearse.

The message conveyed by the two mockcrash scenes was simple and to the point: Do not drink and drive.

“This really teaches the kids,” Brooke Tarcson said after portraying a hysterical mother during Upper St. Clair’s May 25 production.

Izzy Tarcson, her real-life daughter who is a senior at the school, portrayed an equally hystericaly accident victim trying to come to grips with the scenario. Other Upper St. Clair students who participated in the crash included Jordan Smith, Patrick Glover and Allison Lento.

“This is a situation you don’t want to be in,” William Rullo, an Upper St. Clair guidance counselor, emphasized.

For added emphasis, consider statistics from Students Against Destructive Decisions: In 2008, an estimated 12.4 percent of Americans drove under the influence of alcohol. And 72 percent of the students surveyed by the organization said they have consumed alcohol by the end of high school.

According to the National Highway Traf-

Peters Township is holding its prom June 2 at Heinz Field, and Upper St. Clair’s prom is June 7 at the Southpointe Hilton.

The Peters mock crash on the sunny morning of May 27 that was witnessed by nearly 700 students in 11th and 12th grades. Three wrecked automobiles were placed in the parking lot, and as students came outside, they saw 14 members

of the school’s SADD chapter dressed for the prom and re-enacting a multi-vehicle accident caused by drunken driving.

The schools ninth- and 10th-graders, meanwhile, stayed inside the school and listened to presentations regarding the dangers of drunken driving, followed by speakers from Narcotics Anonymous who talked about drug abuse and gave personal testimonies about their experiences.

The scene being played outside was graphic and emotional. Two students, Madison Kerr and Casey Gudenburr, played fatalities and were placed in a hearse provided by Beinhauer Family Funeral Homes and Cremation Services. Another student, Stephanie Bittel, was taken by helicopter to Canonsburg Hospital for treatment.

Ambulances from Peters Township VFW Post 764 transported Rachel Brott and Jake Liniger, both wearing neck braces, from the scene.

Peters Township police “arrested” Dimitri Gagianas and Wil Niesen. Other student participants included Charlie Meyers, Chris Mikec, Vinnie Giovannitti, Kayley Morrow, Laura Shopes, Dominic Wells and Anna Wiesniewski.

“This raises awareness of how real a situation like this can be,” Mike McLaughlin Jr., Peters Township Fire Department assistant chief, said.

The department had a fire truck and ambulance at the high school.

Peters police Deputy Chief Douglas Grimes said mock crashes show both parents and children what could happen if an impaired person gets behind the wheel of a car.

“It adds perspective,” he said.

PT musician makes most of time away from classroom

Now that Peters Township’s teachers have a new contract, everyone involved is a bit happier.

Well, the students who will be sitting in school further into June than usual probably aren’t so excited. But Steven Hart won’t especially mind.

When his teachers temporarily traded the classroom for the picket line in the fall, the high school senior actually did something constructive. He wrote and recorded a song to submit to WYEP-FM’S Reimagine Media program for young musicians.

“I had a bunch of free time, and I knew the deadline was approaching,” Steven, 17, said.

“So I decided, I’ll make some good use of my time, and I did that in a couple of days.”

The resulting composition, “No Expansion,” subsequently was selected to appear on a compact disc featuring the work of Pittsburgh-area high school students. The radio station also arranged for him to play a particularly high-profile gig: the Three Rivers Arts Festival, at which he’ll perform at 4 p.m. Sunday, June 5, on the acoustic stage.

“I remember getting the email and was pretty shocked, like, wow, that’s a major thing,” he said. “I’m really excited.”

Steven plans to mix in some originals with an eclectic mix of cover versions by way of early

Steven Hart and his Martin ’70s folk icon Nick Drake, ’90s-era songwriter Elliott Smith, Australian jack-of-all-trades Nick Cave and the lighter side of Led Zeppelin.

“I also do a version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ on the ukulele, all solo,” he said about the

nowned in progressive rock circles as guitarist for the band Crack the Sky. For the new version of “No Expansion,” Mt. Lebanon resident Nadia Huber contributes backing vocals.

Like many youngsters who think they might want to play guitar, Steven received one from his parents, Tim and Elena, as a third-grade Christmas gift. Unlike many other kids, Steven stuck with it, taking lessons ever since at Guitar Gallery in North Strabane Township.

Dad, as it turns out, also is a guitarist.

“He actually started after me,” Steven revealed. “He always wanted a guitar when he was younger, but his parents never went for it.

So just a couple of months after he bought me my first one, he bought his own.”

Steven, as it turns out, wants to be like Dad: Dr. Timothy Hart is a pediatrician by profession.

“I want to keep up with music, but I want to study medicine and become a doctor,” Steven said about his post-high school plans.

Bethel Park reluctantly approves Franklin Elementary plan

By Cara Host For the Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

Bethel Park School Board hired two contractors on May 24 to fix structural defects in Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, although some school directors voiced uneasiness with spending so much money on an aging building at a time of declining enrollment.

The concrete subfloor is deteriorating because of water that has been seeping in the crawl space under the building for many years. The board agreed to spend $813,500 to replace or repair portions of the floor and to ventilate and drain the crawl space to prevent more water infiltration.

“I’m frustrated to have to spend all that money on something that shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place,” board member Ron Werkmeister said.

The school district’s architect, Kevin Hayes of Hayes Design Group, discovered the problem in January during a routine inspection ahead of a planned renovation of the building. District officials originally planned to replace the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system and do other cosmetic improvements, but that project has been shelved indefinitely.

Superintendent Joseph Pasquerilla asked the board to consider doing the bare minimum of repairs to make the building safe, at an estimated cost of $340,000. That way, it might buy the

won’t cover the exterior walls with an exterior insulation and finishing system, at a savings of $442,100. Hayes recommended both upgrades, but they were at a lower priority than the subfloor repairs.

The original estimate for the repairs was about $2.3 million, but the district received competitive bids. The architect and the district’s construction manager, David Disque, found better ways of accessing the crawl space, which cut costs.

Gurtner Construction of Crafton will do the concrete work, at a cost of $715,000. Lugaila Mechanical of Thornburg will ventilate the crawl Benjamin Franklin Elementary School board time to decide what to do with the build- space and divert water away from the building at a cost of $98,500. ing over the long term.

Crews will perform the work all summer, and Hayes, though, cautioned against that move, they may not finish until late September. Since saying that the bare minimum of repairs would some of the work will occur while school is in buy only about a year, and prices will go up by session, workers will be instructed to limit noise at least $400,000 if the district decides to make to avoid disturbing classes. more extensive repairs next year.

The full program for all elementary grades might be purchased later, but school directors expressed concern about going all in without knowing how the program will work.

“I have seen many programs brought in, only to be shelved a short while later,” Cook said.

Pam Dobos cast the lone dissenting vote, explaining that she wanted to follow teachers’ recommendations and saying adopting the full program would allow for more consistency between grades.

Sharon Janosik, a parent of two elementaryaged children, agreed.

“Trust your educators. I trust them,” she told the board.

• The board approved several coaches, including those in the football program. The district was late in approving head coach Jeff Metheny and his assistants, which caused an uproar among parents and players.

Board members said they were late in approving the coaches due to a discrepancy in the coaches’ stipend. The collective bargaining agreement specifies that the head coach is supposed to be paid a stipend of $8,203, but the head coach was paid more than $1,000 more than that this school year.

The board approved Metheny’s stipend for next year at the lower amount listed in the agreement. The board also approved about 12 assistant, ninth-grade and middle-school football coaches, as well as coaches for swimming, diving, track, wrestling, basketball and rifle teams.

Old Washington Road residents: Slower speeds necessary

By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

Old Washington Road is not the busiest street in Peters Township by any stretch of the imagination.

But 20 or so residents who live along the road, which is used by many motorists to escape the congestion of heavily traveled Washington and East McMurray roads, have petitioned the

township to find a way to ensure motorists are proceeding at a safe speed.

“Speeding is a major issue in Peters,” said police Chief Harry Fruecht. “We get more traffic complaints about that than anything else.”

During a May 24 open house held to gather citizen input on Old Washington Road’s traffic, township officials offered suggestions on ways to slow down drivers, 15 percent of whom exceed the 25-mph speed limit. Between 800 and 1,400 vehicles use Old Washington Road on a daily basis, said Michael Silvestri, Peters manager.

Suggested speeding deterrents designed by Michael Mudry, an Upper St. Clair traffic engineer who works with Peters on traffic matters, include installing raised speed humps, centerline rumble strips, constructing a raised intersection at Thompsonville Road and placing radar detectors at various points.

“Speeds are definitely up,” Mudry said.

To better gather input from residents, the township gave those in attendance a survey about Old Washington Road traffic conditions that asks if there is a speeding problem and

whether it is caused by motorists who either live in the township or outside the area. The survey also asks if using the road as a cut-through is problematic. And finally, the survey asks what sort of speed deterrent residents favor, such as a landscape divider, speed humps, rumble strips, signage or sidewalk.

Depending on the kinds of responses received, the township will decide how to proceed. But, Silvestri said, something should be done to slow drivers this summer.

New signaling technology could help with Route 19 congestion

By Scott Beveridge Staff writer sbeveridge@observer-reporter.com

New technology that coordinates traffic signals to traffic flow was pitched May 23 as a way to ease congestion on Route 19 in Washington County.

The system, Adaptive Signal Control Technology, was already installed on Route 22 between Monroeville and Delmont and is showing great successes in reducing traffic backups, said Joseph Szczur, a state Department of Transportation district executive.

“We can start setting the stage for that now,” Szczur said Monday during an open house in Courthouse Square in Washington on the next

transportation improvement plan drafted by Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission.

Washington County is expected to see $187.8 million spent between 2017-20 on 51 projects, most of which involve continued safety improvements to Interstate 70 and the replacement of small, aging bridges.

“There’s a lot of work on this,” said SPC planner Matt Pavlosky.

Szczur’s comments followed a suggestion from Peters Township Manager Michael A. Silvestri to fund a study to address congestion at Route 19 and McMurray Road, which becomes a bottleneck during rush hours.

Silvestri said there is a concern in Peters that the intersection will not be able to handle more

traffic after the Southern Beltway opens in several years.

Szczur said the signaling system is much less costly than widening roads, especially in areas such as Peters Township where the setback distances between the road and businesses are narrow.

He said the technology is sophisticated to the point in which it learns over time when the traffic flows are at their highest and it adjusts itself to address changes.

The system was suggested by Szczur to begin at I-70 and Route 19 and continue through North and South Strabane townships into Peters Township.

editorial

Adult drivers make poor decisions, too

Partying at the prom is nothing new.

Back in the 1950s, humorist Jean Shepherd – you know him as the narrator in “A Christmas Story” – entertained his radio audiences with coming-of-age tales, a well-known one of which involved protagonist Ralph and his buddies emptying their stomachs after a promnight binge.

A couple of decades later, the “kids will be kids” mentality still was firmly in place, although efforts by Mothers Against Drunk Driving and other organizations eventually led to more rational thinking about the subject. As a result, schools and communities at large began stepping up their endeavors to dissuade prom goers from getting behind the wheel while impaired.

One such program is the mock crash, primarily involving drama students and emergency responders.

Two local high schools, Upper St. Clair and Peters Township, staged the eye-opening events prior to their respective proms.

The hope is that the students who witness the proceedings are sufficiently spooked by seeing portrayals of their bloodied classmates being loaded into ambulances, stuffed into the back of police cars and, well, leaning lifeless out of a car window.

Unfortunately, the “that could be me” component often is lost on teenagers, many of whom tend not to contemplate their own mortality. Then again, the looks on the faces of students as they watch mock crashes often reveal that they at least are thinking about the horrors of possibly experiencing something like that in a genuine setting.

Of course, the average American doesn’t suddenly become a model of responsibility the day after he or she graduates from high school. So perhaps reinforcement mock crashes should be a staple of institutions of higher learning.

For that matter, they should be on display for everyone, regardless of age, who might find the occasion to drink and drive. Hearing people portraying accident victims screaming as they’re placed on stretchers, or a mother/actress doing the same as she learns her child is dead, can be convincing even when an observer is well aware of the actual circumstances.

Factor in the emergency vehicles, the paramedics trying to save lives and the police hauling away the promgoing drunken driver, and the whole scenario provides plenty of food for thought for anyone who contemplates ordering one more beer before heading home.

Oh, and it also should resonate with anyone who spends more time looking at his or her cellphone than the road. That type of behavior may be a much more modern phenomenon than prom partying, but the results can be just as deadly.

letter to the editor

Property owners really are digging too deep The Almanac has it exactly right in its editorial of May 25, “Property Owners Likely to Keep Digging Deep,” which notes continuing tax hikes imposed on hapless homeowners in south Pittsburgh communities, including mine of Upper St. Clair, in which it appears that a whopping 5.7 percent boost will be inflicted this year, an amount that is multiple times the increase in the cost of living.

The seemingly bottomless well of resources is tapped with little if any regret by school board members, most, if not all of whom, are well-to-do and most of whom seem to believe that the district that spends the most is certain to produce the finest school system.

The editorial mentions the malfeasance of the General Assembly (and by extension, then-governor, fake conservative Tom Ridge), which in 2001 saw a seemingly pain-free means of boosting its fortunes at a time that pensions funds were in surplus. A 50 percent retroactive hike was provided to legislators, while rank-and-file workers were pulled along for a 25 percent sweetener. I recall no hue and cry from state workers at the time for this increase to be enacted, and it is a classic case of “If you give them the money, it will burn a hole in their pockets and they will spend it.” This was an initiative predicated upon legislative greed, and it perverted government, providing an incentive for lucrative lifelong service, something which was anathema to the Founding Fathers.

I wonder how many Upper St. Clair residents know or recall that our purportedly conservative state representative, John Maher, a certified public accountant, no less, and one who unfailingly receives the unqualified endorsement of the local Republican Committee, voted for the pension boost. I wonder if he ever provided a retroactive 25 percent or 50 percent pension hike to the workers at the accounting firm which he co-founded. I would doubt that he would have been as generous with his money as he was with ours. He also voted for the 2005 middle-of-the-night legislative pay grab. If this is how a conservative behaves, I shudder to think of what would have been pushed had the district elected a freespending liberal to office.

The Almanac is right that pension reform must be enacted, as the Commonwealth is being choked by a $50 billion-plus hole, a crisis which is not fully recognized in Harrisburg, but one which is having grave effects at the local level as our share of the pension debt is inflicted on taxpayers. In our Keystone state of corruption and dysfunction, I shall not hold my breath that the matter will be addressed any time soon, if ever.

Health director advises protecting against mosquitoes

By Suzanne Elliott Staff writer selliott@thealmanac.net

Fears about the Zika virus already have caused the Pittsburgh Pirates to move two scheduled baseball games in Puerto Rico to Miami, and public health experts now are calling for the Summer Olympics to relocate from Rio de Janeiro.

While the disease has had little impact so far in Allegheny and Washington counties, one

area public health official recommends that residents take precautions against the carriers of Zika: mosquitoes.

“The overall risk is low, but we are aware there is risk,” Allegheny County Health Department director Karen Hacker said.

Zika can cause fever, rash and red eyes, all mild symptoms that usually do not result in a trip to the hospital. There is no treatment or vaccine, but people who contract Zika rarely die from it.

The real risk is to pregnant women because Zika can cause a birth defect called microceph-

Late Mt. Lebanon soldier remembered by commander

By Harry Funk Managing editor hfunk@thealmanac.net

As he stood in front of the Veterans Memorial in Mt. Lebanon, retired U.S. Army Col. Gordon Lam made an educational suggestion.

“If I were a civics teacher at Mt.

Lam, who served as keynote speaker for Monday’s event, fulfilled the equivalent of such an assignment with regard to Army Spc. David Stearns Easton, a member of the Mt. Lebanon High School Class of 1961.

In November 1967, Lam arrived in Vietnam to take command of the Army’s Company A of the 4th Battalion of the 23rd Infantry Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division.

“When I got there, it was a hot, steamy, muggy day, thinking to myself, why in the world was I out here?” he recalled.

Lam also recalled meeting his radio operator, “this young, lanky kid, about 5 feet 11. He looked like Pigpen. You know, the one from Charlie Schulz’s ‘Peanuts.’ His hair was tousled. Very pale.

World War II hero speaks at Bethel Park’s holiday ceremony

By Harry Funk Managing editor hfunk@thealmanac.net

World War II heroes have tended to take an attitude similar to that of Peter Edwards Jr. “I’m not a hero, believe me, just one of the millions who fought,” the U.S. Army Air Corps veteran said Monday.

Those in attendance at Bethel Park’s Memorial Day ceremony would beg to differ with the guest of honor’s assessment of himself, especially given his military record: He flew 49 missions as a bomber escort in a single-seat P-51 Mustang over Europe.

Yet the nine-decade Bethel Park resident made sure to give plenty of credit where it was due elsewhere.

“In World War II, it was not just the veterans who fought for our liberty. It was virtually everybody in the country,” Edwards told the crowd gathered at the Bethel Park Veterans’ Memorial.

“Women, heretofore not much seen in the work force, went to factories, helped build airplanes, ships. They did work, some of it, better than the men did,” he said. “Even the kids went out and collected tin foil, metal scraps and so forth to contribute to the war effort.”

Prior to his talk, he was introduced by Tim Moury, Bethel Park Council president, who told of how Peter Edwards Sr. founded local institution Brookside Lumber Co. in the 1920s, and how Junior, “at 95 years young,” still is active in

the business.

A 1938 graduate of Bethel Park High School – he was among a class of just 47 – Peter Edwards Jr. went on to major in economics at Colgate University.

“On Dec. 7, 1941, while walking back from a class at Colgate, Pete was met by students telling him about the bombing at Pearl Harbor that had just occurred,” Moury said. “Emotionally struck, Pete decided that he wanted to join the war effort and was able to graduate one semester early. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps.”

Edwards spoke about his subsequent experiences.

“The camaraderie in the service was great,” he said. “We came from all over the States and all walks of life. We were united, all working to-

ward the same goal of defeating Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo, with their massive war machines, and then to return home to our loved ones.”

On that note: “I don’t believe there was any doubt in our minds about the outcome. It was not if. It was only when,” Edwards recalled. “It truly was a war that had to be won, to preserve our country and many other countries from living under the dictatorships that we fought.”

Also during the Memorial Day ceremony, Bethel Park honored the memory of Joseph Chmelynski (1922-48), a World War II Army veteran who become a local police officer and

Councilman Mark O’Brien, who spoke on Chmelynski’s behalf, had led efforts to have a paver in his honor placed at the veterans’ memorial. William Knaus, a childhood friend of Chmelynski who originally told O’Brien about the slain officer, was in attendance at Monday’s event.

Also attending were Roger and Jill Kurtz, parents of Army Sgt. Russell A. Kurtz, who died Feb. 11, 2007, at age 22 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were presented with an honor on behalf of their son by the Bethel Fife and Drum Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Peters Twp. speaker reminds about Memorial Day meaning

By Harry Funk Managing editor hfunk@thealmanac.net

A visitor to the United States in late May could get the impression that our primary purpose for Memorial Day is the likes of picnics, pool openings and appliance sales.

“I like to go to cookouts and barbecues. I like to go boating on the river with my family,” Mark Nave admitted as he addressed the crowd gathered Monday morning at Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Park Post 764 in Peters Township.

“But I’m never able to get too excited on Memorial Day,” he explained. “You see, it’s personal to me. This is a day when I remember six classmates of mine at the U.S. Naval Academy who were lost on active duty.”

Nave, a Peters resident who served with distinction in the Navy and as of Monday was a commander in the Navy Reserve, was keynote speaker for the VFW post’s annual Memorial Day program, which was preceded by a parade along East McMurray Road.

A Naval flight officer whose squadrons conducted surveillance, reconnaissance and support on both sides of the Atlantic, Nave was quick to remind those in attendance exactly what Memorial Day means to Americans.

“If you can remember only one thing, please remember today is not about current members of the military,” he said. “It’s not about veter-

Watching the parade are Izzy and Nikko Whaley, ages 5 and 2, with mom Tiffany watching them. ans. It’s not about this post we are visiting today. It’s about one thing and one thing only: honoring those who died while serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces.”

The number of men and women in that category has risen to 1,354,664 with the May 3 death in Iraq of Navy Special Warfare Operator First Class Charles Keating IV, who was 31.

Nave pointed out that American adults his age or younger are becoming “significantly less likely to have a sibling, a parent, a spouse or a personal connection to a veteran.”

“So what does this mean to all of us?” he said.

“Will there be fewer flags planted by caring volunteers on Memorial Day? Will there be fewer enlistees in the armed forces? Will the cultural and political gaps between those who serve and

VFW Post 764 member Bill Snedeker marches in the Peters Township Memorial Day parade. those who don’t widen further? I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I certainly hope they’re worth considering on a day like today.”

Monday, he revealed, happened to be the last day he donned his Navy uniform before retiring as a reservist.

“I will never forget those whose final day in uniform ended much differently than mine,” Nave said. “Their final day in uniform led to a flag being presented to a loved one at a memorial service.

“To those veterans who paid the ultimate price, I say one thing: Thank you.”

COURTESTY OFF THE WALL PRODUCTIONS

JUNE 3-5

‘MOTHER LODE’ After staging the in-repertory production of the world premiere of “Mother Lode” by artistic director Virginia Wall Gruenert (“Shaken & Stirred,” “Without Ruth”) in January, off the WALL productions presents the second run.

The often-contentious relationships between mothers and daughters will no doubt keep therapists in business for years to come, but there is no denying the deep bond that exists between them.

Directed by Virginia Wall Gruenert and Spencer Whale, “Mother Lode” tells the story of Pittsburgh actor Linda Haston’s mother, Ruth, a force of nature who leaves Jim Crow Alabama as a teen to work and raise her family in Pittsburgh’s Hill District.

This one-woman show deals with the end-of-life decisions that must be made by dutiful daughters, as well as the discord, conciliation, warfare and ultimate acceptance between strong, independent women bound by love and family.

“Mother Lode” will run for three performances, June 3, 4 and 5. Encore performances will follow in August.

Tickets range in price from $5-$40.

Upper St. Clair’s Gilfillan Farm benefits from Rotary beer bash

By Harry Funk Managing editor hfunk@thealmanac.net

The word around Upper St. Clair’s Gilfillan Farm on Saturday tended toward something along these lines: “I can’t believe this is here!”

Credulity would dictate that a prime piece of property right around the corner from South Hills Village Mall and a gridlock-inducing series of traffic lights is an inevitable candidate for development.

But the pristine confines of Gilfillan Farm will remain as is, thanks to Margaret, the last surviving member of the famHARRY FUNK / STAFF ily. When she died in Mike and Kim Bu- 2001 at age 100, she falini hang out at the left the 15 acres to the Rotary International Historical Society of emblem.

Upper St. Clair, which has the mission of restoring, preserve and, yes, operating the farm.

Acknowledging the farm as an invaluable community asset, the Rotary Club of Upper St Clair-Bethel Park (Breakfast) has been raising money toward the property’s upkeep.

Rotarian Jeff Stambaugh and his wife, Jonell, greet guests Carolyn Seymour and Drew Hauth.

And so about 400 guests gathered at Gilfillan May 28 for the second annual Barnyard Beer Benefit, which featured craft beverages from five area brewers, plus a smorgasbord of food set up in one of the barns.

Entertaining the partygoers were musicians Doug Matta, Michael DiRocco and Jon Fish, calling themselves the Hookups and playing classic-rock crowd favorites, including a tune-

ful turn on harmony vocals for the Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil.”

The Rotary club also has donated toward the farm from proceeds raised through the HARRY FUNK / STAFF farmer’s market it runs Thursday afternoons in the parking lot of Westminster Presbyterian From left are J.R.

Churchill Downs might be hundreds of miles away from Pittsburgh, but that didn’t stop some local seniors from celebrating the 142nd Kentucky Derby in style. Friendship Village of South Hills, a retirement community in Upper St. Clair, hosted a Kentucky Derby Day event and watch party May 7, complete with ornate hats, mint juleps and bourbon-themed dishes.

Residents say living at a community with a Life Care plan allows them to relax and kick up their heels at events like this one, knowing their future is secure. Pictured is Ted Cook, winner of the hat contest.

Lebo ladies keep their cool, win WPIAL lacrosse title

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Whether the temperatures rise as they did to well into the 80s on May 26 or whether the competition applies added pressure as Chartiers Valley did in the final five minutes of the WPIAL Division I girls’ lacrosse championship match at Highmark Stadium, the Mt. Lebanon ladies keep their cool. As a result, they are champions once again. The Blue Devils defeated the Colts, 14-9, for their second district crown in three years.

“It’s the best feeling in the world,” said Anna Albers of victory.

Even when the Colts trimmed Lebo’s lead to 12-9 with 4:46 to play on back-to-back goals from Margo Mason, Albers never wavered emotionally. She felt if the team did not panic, then success was inevitable.

“We knew if we kept our composure and if we played like we always have, then there would be no problems,” said the senior, who racked up four goals in the victory.”

Coach Brian Kattan agreed. “We are a very composed group,” he said of his squad, which features nine seniors, six of them starters. “We don’t yell at each other. We play very calmly and if we weathered that stretch I knew we would be okay.”

Thanks to the Klabers, the Lebo ladies, indeed, were okay. Ali and Sophia Klaber scored within two minutes of each other at 4:04 and 2:03 and sealed the title for Lebo. Albers garnered an assist on the first tally.

The Klabers joined Albers with a multi-goal game. Sophia, too, registered four tallies while Ali accrued two. Alexis and Megan Gibbons scored once each while Kate Sramac and Cora Broadhurst also provided single goals.

Albers, however, engineers the attack.

“Anna is a tremendous player,” Kattan said.

“She has worked real hard for four years.

She controls the pace of the offense. She knows when to rush the net and when not to and pull it out.”

While Albers, who also picked up four assists, is Lebo’s go-to girl, she deflects praise to her teammates. She cites them for her success.

“We work as a team to find the open player,” she said. “It’s not an individual effort at all.

It’s 100 percent a team thing. We are all about team. That’s the best part.”

Senior leadership was another contributing factor to Lebo’s success. The roster boasts nine seniors, six of them starters. In addition

Mt. Lebanon flashes winning smiles after beating Chartiers Valley, 14-9, and winning the WPIAL Division I girls’ lacrosse championship.

Chartiers Valley’s Annie Pacella (No. 20) and Lauren Ellis (No. 10) attempt to stop Anna Albers (No. 10) but the Mt. Lebanon attack scored four goals and garnered five assists in leading her team to victory, 14-9, and to the WPIAL Division I title in girls’ lacrosse.

Bethel Park falls to Penn-Trafford; finishes second in WPIAL

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Days after playing its best match of the season, Bethel Park picked a bad time to play less than par. As a result, the Black Hawks finished as WPIAL runners-up in boys’ volleyball for the third time. Penn-Trafford swept the Black Hawks, 3-0, in the Class AAA final played May 27 at Baldwin.

“It just wasn’t our night,” said Jake Dixon.

Indeed not. Plagued by errors, the Hawks dropped straight sets to the Warriors, 33-31, 25-20, 27-25. Brendan O’Toole proved the difference, particularly in the long, first game. He won the final three points for the Warriors and recorded nine kills. O’Toole led Penn-Trafford with 20 kills.

Dixon led all players with 25 kills. He finished with three blocks. Michael Kapusta added eight kills for the Hawks, who begin PIAA tournament play tonight (June 1) at 7 p.m. against Brashear at Allderdice.

As Penn-Trafford dominated the Hawks, so too, Bethel Park controlled North Allegheny in the semifinals. As a result of its 3-0 sweep of the Tigers, BP advanced to its third title match in eight years.

“It’s such a relief to beat them,” said Dixon.

“North Allegheny has always been a team that has knocked us out of the playoffs.”

The Tigers had beaten BP in its two previous title quests. The Hawks lost in the 2008 and 2012 finals.

This time around, Bethel Park breezed by the Tigers, 25-14, 25-19, 25-15.

“Finally,” coach Tom Allman said when told that his team played its best match of the year.

Dixon agreed. “Without a doubt,” he said this was BP’s “best match all season.”

Seneca Valley, which lost to Penn-Trafford,

ELEANOR BAILEY/STAFF

Members of the Bethel Park volleyball team pose after losing to Penn-Trafford in the WPIAL Class AAA volleyball championship match.

3-1, in the other semifinal, had plenty to do with forcing the Hawks to play up to their potential.

Before the regular season ended, BP dropped a five-setter to the Raiders. The Hawks had won the first two games but lost.

They came back to lose the third set, 25-23, and were leading the fourth game, 20-14, and the fifth by a two-point margin before letting the match slip away.

“Seneca Valley was a wake-up call. The loss opened our eyes,” Allman said. “We realized we had some things to work on and we worked on what we needed to do.

“We had a lot of energy (against NA) and we worked on what we needed to do. We were ready to play.”

Indeed, the Hawks jumped out to a 20-10 lead in the first game and never trailed. Although Dixon led the way with 19 kills, he was

not the sole key to victory. Zack Lizun and Connor Savrese excelled in the middle. Michael Kapusta and Caleb Pierson also played well on the outside. Brandon Thorsen set brilliantly and Derek Miller performed well defensively.

“Dixon is always there and he always does well,” Allman said. “Kapusta did a nice job. He picked up his end. Our middles controlled the match. That was one of the keys to stopping them. They did a great job.

“And,” continued Allman, “we used our right side and spread it out. All those things were keys.”

Dixon agreed with the analysis and added that unity also factored into the victory.

“North Allegheny is a good team but we played together. We played good defense and blocked well. We couldn’t have asked for a better match.”

H’s offensive standouts. Kesneck owns a .452 batting average with 30 runs scored and 23 RBI. Alderson owns a .403 batting average with 28 RBI and two home runs.

Meanwhile, Madison Renner spearheads the Pioneers. She boasted a 1.83 ERA before picking up her 14th win of the season against Union in the other semifinal. Renner is also the team’s top hitter with a batting average well over .550 and more than 50 RBIs. Renner’s teammate and cousin, Bailey Bennington, is 7-0 on the mound with a 0.65 ERA. Bennington is also batting closer to .580 with six homers and more than 30 RBI. “West Greene has a very powerful offense and scores a lot of runs per game,” Alderson said. “We are going to need a great pitching and defensive performance to keep us in the game.”

Though the Bucs lack depth–they have only 11 players on the roster and none of them seniors–they benefit from a challenging schedule.

“We played a tough non-section schedule and that has helped tremendously with the playoff games even though our record is not exactly the best overall,” said Alderson.

Lebo boys finish as lacrosse runners-up

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Shots don’t win lacrosse matches. Goals do. Mt. Lebanon learned that lesson the hard way. The Blue Devils converted just 17 of 40 shots on goal and as a result, they lost their bid for a WPIAL title. Lebo dropped a 9-7 decision to North Allegheny in the Division I boys’ championship match played May 27 at Highmark Stadium.

“When you are making less than 15 percent of your shots it’s going to be a long day,” said Lebo skipper Mike Ermer. “We did not shoot the ball well.”

Ean Kuska contributed to Lebo’s woes. The NA goalie made 12 saves.

“Hats off to him. (Kuska) had a great game,” Ermer said. “Their goalie was excellent. He was outstanding.”

NA’s entire defense played well. The Tigers tightened things up after having allowed double-digit goals the last time the two teams met.

In that regular-season contest, Lebo won, 18-5.

Guys like Jack Kairys, Greg Ferringer, Doug Wilc and Antonio O’Barto excelled as the Tigers opted to utilized a zone defense that appeared to baffle the Blue Devils. “We’ve seen that zone before,” Ermer noted. “Our trouble was finishing shots. When you keep a team to under 10 goals, usually you can expect to win. But, NA was better than us. John Rullan and his assistants did a great job.”

Mt. Lebanon team captains Connor Brumfield, Jesse Dodd, Nicholas Tommasi and Brian Ward along with head coach Mike Ermer accept the WPIAL runner-up trophy.

Connor Brumfield did a great job of keeping the Blue Devils in the game. The junior led all scorers with four goals.

Brian Ward put the Blue Devils on a positive footing. His score four minutes into the contest lifted Lebo into the lead, 1-0. The Tigers, however, responded with four goals, a pair each by Weston Powell and Gavin Hagan, to close out the first period.

Though the Tigers never trailed again, Owen Chamberlin kept the difference at three goals, 6-3, with a pair of scores in the second stanza.

Brumfield scored all his goals in the second half. His tally, assisted by David Harvey, at the 4:40 mark in the third stanza cut the Lebo deficit again to three, 7-4. His goal, assisted by

Ward, with 5:47 to play made it 8-5. Cameron Haley and Ward dished up assists on Brumfield’s scores with 1:45 and 13 seconds to play.

Lebo reached the finals with a 16-10 win against Pine-Richland in the semifinals.

Dan Lee led all scorers. The Ithaca College recruit fired in seven goals. Ward, who will play at Yale, registered a hat trick while Nathan Bashaw and Brumfield tallied two goals each.

For the Blue Devils, their championship date with NA was the third meeting in four years.

Lebo won WPIAL titles in 2013 and 2015. Despite the loss to the Tigers, the Blue Devils, who are 14-8 overall, have qualified for the PIAA tournament. Their first-round game is set for June 1 against State College at Cumberland Valley.

Pickleball Peters Township’s Wolk wins silver medal Classic coming to Pittsburgh

By Lance Lysowski

for The Almanac writer@thealmanac.net

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Sally and Lou Sherfinski’s passion for pickleball began innocently enough.

After being introduced to the sport six years ago while visiting friends in California, the Canonsburg couple responded to an item in The Almanac.

“The blurb stated, ‘Anyone interested … should call this number,’” said Lou. “We did, and the rest is history.”

He and Sally went from using the court in Bridgeville’s park on McLaughlin Run with six others to involving more than 50 players, who vie at South Hills venues, from the recreation centers at Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair, where the Sherfinskis once lived, to the Southpointe Courthouse.

Today, they are the tournament directors of the GAMMA Pickleball Classic, which will be held June 3-5 at the Pittsburgh Convention Center. Admission is free.

Similar to how they discovered pickleball, the Sherfinskis fell into the directors’ chair.

Their appointment began after a brief conversation last December with Wayne Dollard, co-founder with Mike Wertz of the Pickleball Classic. Because Lou was a USA Pickleball association ambassador, Dollard thought he would be interested.

“Obviously, I am a lover of the game,” Lou admitted.

“Not knowing any better, I said sure, but only if my wife could be co-director. We started planning in January, recruited others who we knew could help and here we are now.”

Only days away from the inaugural event, Lou had no idea the tournament would exceed its numbers. Some 225 players have registered. Many hail from nearby states, and some are from Canada.

“We had no good feeling for how many we might get or from where, but we are happy,” Lou said about the turnout. He anticipates next year’s event will expand to include high schools. Currently, the tournament will be held in Hall D of the convention center and be played on 15 courts. “We hope to see many more players (in the future) so that would mean we would need to double our space,” added Lou. Many current players, such as Diane and Bob Unetich, have also pitched in to help the Sherfinskis. Diane was involved in registration along with Terri Flynn of New Castle.

Sweat dripped down Peters Township senior Nick Wolk’s face as Matt Kravitz sped past him on the eighth and final lap of the 3,200-meter run.

His fate would be determined by the final 400 meters, but Wolk quickly thought of a new plan. He’d use his stamina to hang close and would try to sprint past Kravitz in the final 150 meters.

The crowd stood on its feet and the humidity weighed heavy on the two runners churning their legs with full force in hope of capturing a state championship. Wolk moved within five feet, running at a pace he hadn’t needed all season, but Kravitz, a senior from North Pocono, held on for the gold medal.

Kravitz defeated Wolk, who won the WPIAL title in the event last week, by less than one second Saturday at the PIAA Track & Field Cham-

Nick Wolk pionships at Shippensburg University.

“I was right where I wanted to be going into the last lap,” Wolk, who finished in 9:10.25, said. “I wanted it to be a 400 race, but Matt Kravitz went

past me really fast. I told myself I’d wait until about 150 out and try to go out and get him, but he was going too fast. My legs couldn’t hear my brain commanding him to move. I really tried.”

Wolk, who won the WPIAL cross country championships last fall, entered the meet as the top seed with a qualifying time almost six seconds faster than Kravitz’s.

The heat and a surprising finish cost him a gold medal. Wolk was pleased to leave Shippensburg with a medal.

“It’s a good end to the season,” Wolk said. ‘I definitely wanted to end the season undefeated, but second place is the closest thing I could get, I guess. I’ll take it.”

Laura Ehrenberger will take her strong showing at states and build upon it. The Peters Township junior took seconds off her best 800 time and qualified for the finals. She finished 10th overall with a 2:14.47 time.

Additionally, Hannah Falcione placed ninth in the triple jump. It was her best jump, plus her leap set a new school record.

Lebo finishes strong at PIAA track & field finals

Though the girls finished second in their heat, they still managed to run an amazing time and exact eighth place in an overall very fast 4x400m relay. Penn Wood won the event in 3:42.67, more than two seconds faster than second-place Cheltenham (3:44.96) In the men’s competition, Todd Gunzenhauser finished fifth in the 3200.

“Todd ran a very savvy race, staying in the middle of the pack until lap five, then he methodically moved up and picked off runners each lap to finish with a state medal,” Shutt said.

Patrick Kimball also garnered a medal. The senior finished eighth in the 110-meter high hurdles (15.42). He added 15th in the 300 intermediate hurdles.

Competing in their first-ever PIAA track meet, Josh Kalapos and Ian Harris finished 16th and 19th respectively in the 1,600-meter run. Additionally, Molly Mangan and Sarah Rolfsen finished 13th and 15th respectively in their 200-meter semifinal heats

By Eleanor Bailey Sports editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

At one of the hottest state meets and under a relentless sun, Mt. Lebanon enjoyed a successful weekend at the PIAA track and field championships.

Three individuals and a relay returned home with medals. Some even established new school records.

Claire Dougherty raced to a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter dash. The Almanac’s 2016 female athlete of the year clocked a 2:10.75, which was almost two seconds better than her personal record and ranks No. 3 all-time in the history of the WPIAL. Dougherty also helped the 4x400 relay run a historic race. The team, which also consisted of Sarah Rolfsen and sisters, Keara and Molly Mangan, finished fourth in 3:52.83. The time was over three seconds faster than the school record set May 18 at the WPIAL championships. According to records kept by WPIAL track historian, Jim Faiella, the mark also ranks third fastest in the history of District 7.

“To fully explain the accomplishment of this relay team and race, one needs to understand a little background,” said Oscar Shutt.

Shutt and the other Lebo coaches saw the extended forecast for high temperatures at states and felt it would be a lot to ask Dougherty to do three races in the prelims on May 27 and come back in potentially three again May 28. Dougherty was a member of Lebo’s WPIAL championship 4x800 relay. Based on the seeded times from the other districts, the coaches concluded Lebo had a better chance to medal in the 4x400 than the 4x800.

“So I made the difficult decision for the WPIAL champion 4x800 relay team to compete at the state meet without its best runner,” Shutt said.

With sophomore Rory Vigrass subbing for Dougherty, the relay of seniors Sadie Saxton and Leah Graf along with freshman Aoife-Ruby

sports Pickleball FROM PAGE 26 Bob, like Lou, is one of the sport’s ambassadors.

The Unetich family used to play tennis. In fact, their sons, Mike and Rich, were standouts on the Upper St. Clair High School teams. Diane and Bob also used to play paddle tennis, but since they have been going to Florida the past three winters, that sport has become less important.

“Although we think it’s wonderful,” said Diane. “But since I’ve started playing pickleball, I really don’t have time or interest in tennis.”

According to Diane, pickleball is much easier to play, due partly to the smaller court size (20 by 44 feet), which is approximately the same as

a badminton court. Pickleball lends itself better for mixed doubles play than tennis, she added.

“It’s a very social sport and so fun,” said Diane, who also plays the game with her grandchildren. She noted that while pickleball is primarily a “senior” sport, “young people love it, too.”

Locally, in fact, high schools teach it in gym class.

“Pickleball is growing nationally at a tremendous rate,” Diane said, adding that the sport faces one daunting problem: “There are not enough courts.”

While the Sherfinskis play three or four times a week, they have had to travel at times.

During the winter months, they play primarily at the Southpointe Courthouse and in the recreation center at USC. Outdoors they have played at Baker Park in USC, Fairview Park and in

“Pickleball is a very social game,” Lou said. “ You are close to your opponents. There is much bantering back and forth, and the exercise is great. We know many husband-wife duos that play together, and we have made many wonderful friends in the process.

Ask A Real Estate

Professional Q: What is a Loan to Value

Ratio (LTV?) Jim Popeck 724-941-8800 Ext. 265 Cell: 724-207-3534

www.jimpopeck.com

A: The Agreement of Sale allows the Buyer to set

an upper limit on something called a loan-to-value ratio or “LTV”. The LTV is used by lenders to help assess the potential risk of a mortgage loan. LTV is determined by dividing the requested loan amount by either the purchase price or the appraised value of the property, whichever is lower. A particular LTV may be necessary to qualify for certain loans, or the Buyer may be required to pay additional fees if the LTV exceeds a specific level. For example, if you are planning to borrow $80,000 for a property that appraised at $100,000 your LTV is 80% ($80,000/$100,000).

Stated another way, the loan should not be more than 80% of the value of the home.
