GREAT TURNOUT

Bethel Bounty another sellout success for community foundation

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac staff writer ebailey@thealmanac.net

An overflowing crowd at the Crowne Plaza Hotel proved two things for the Bethel Park Community Foundation. In its 26th year, Bethel Bounty is bigger and better than ever before, and it’s likely outgrowing its venue.

Within two weeks of announcing this year’s Nov. 16 date, the event, which is one of the primary fundraisers for the foundation, sold out.

“It’s another way over sold-out event,” said Andy Amrhein.

Emcee for the evening, Amrhein also is the co-chairman with Sabrina Tatalias, who also serves on the board of trustees for the foundation.

Maximum capacity in the hotel’s ballroom is 320. Once the foundation sold all those tickets at $50 each, a wait list was created.

“We put up more high-top tables,” Amrhein said when the venue sells out. “We just tell people it’s standing-room-only and they still come.”

“If people don’t have a seat for the whole evening, they could stand or walk around,” Tatalias added. “It just shows that the event’s growing in the community.”

For the foundation, Amrhein says that Bethel Bounty is so successful because it’s simple and easy to do, especially for the trustees.

“It’s fun for the patrons because they just come and

After Nancy Tray’s newborn daughter needed dozens of blood transfusions, she has been dedicated to paying it forward.

The day before Thanksgiving, Tray will host the ninth annual Maddalena Tray Blood Drive, named for her daughter, at the Peters Township Public Library. Maddalena was born Feb. 6, 2017, and needed 40 blood

This year’s vendors included: Bella’s On Fort Couch, Bethel Bakery, Big Shot Bob’s, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, Bonefish Grill, Country Hammer Moonshine, Cyd West Comfort Catering, Dairy Queen, Ma & Pop’s Country Kitchen, Metz Catering, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Pasta Too, Rice Inn, Rowdy B.B.Q. Takeout & Catering, Sarris Candies and Toss Pizza and Wings.

Current owners of the local DQ, Corey and Amanda Ingram had to “pause” their presence at last year’s Bethel Bounty. They provided coupons while they tended to a new addition to the family. Amanda gave birth to their second daughter, Avery, who also had to have open heart surgery.

“So we were a little busy,” said the Ingrams, who also have an older daughter, Emerson. “We had to take a break, but we’re really excited to be back.”

The Ingrams, who bought the franchise from Mayor Jack Allen two years ago, were thrilled to introduce their specialty ice cream cupcakes. They have launched bulk ordering of the treats for holiday parties, gatherings, children’s parties and school functions.

Pizza was the perfect pairing for the ice cream treats, and Toss Pizza and Wings supplied more than its share of pies to the hungry crowd.

“The pizza is fantastic,” said Case Jones. He came from the North Hills to attend Bethel Bounty. His wife’s family is from the South Hills, he admitted. “This is a wonderful event that is great for the community.”

“It’s great food and fun getting to see everyone coming together for a good cause,” agreed Davie Gerber while he dined with his wife, Traci.

The Bethel Park Community Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization created in 1994, has raised more than $1 million and donated back into the municipality in the forms of grants and scholarships.

In addition to door prizes and a 50/50 raffle, profits are made during the basket giveaways held during the second part of the evening. This year there were more than 60 baskets and specialty prizes such as tickets to sporting events, museums, plays, as well as a large-screen television, a weekend hotel stay in Pittsburgh and jewelry giveaway. All prizes were donated.

“Everybody is so kind when you tell them what it’s for. How can you say no to an education fund and everything the foundation does?” said Cindy Carfagno, a longtime trustee.

“Bethel Bounty is one of the best events. It’s unbeatable because everything is donated. It’s a nice social event that raises good money for the community.”

New this year was a wine pull. For $20, patrons purchase a mystery bottle of wine, festively wrapped in red or yellow foil paper.

“I thought it was a good fit for Bethel Bounty,” Talalias explained. “It was a good way to make something different from the usual big wine basket we do.

“There were a variety of wines and different price points. So you had a chance to go home with a pretty expensive bottle of wine.”

Additionally, the foundation kicked off plans for the holidays as well as future Bethel Bounty features.

Currently, the foundation is selling commemorative ornaments, depicting all of the school district’s elementary schools as well as Neil Armstrong Middle School. All will close at the end of the school year to make way for the new elementary center scheduled to open in the fall of 2026.

Additionally, four local artists have been commissioned to create pieces to commemorate America’s 250th birthday.

According to Amrhein they will be original works depicting the visions of what Linda Barnicott, JP Diroll, Maria DeSimone Prasack and John Prasack think America is about. Proceeds will be split four ways between Bethel Park’s “Fantastic Four” charities: the foundation, the Education Foundation, the Historical Society and the public library.

“These are amazing pieces of art,” Amrhein said as Britney Hollick unveiled the first painting. “So we are excited about things to come.”

Diamond sponsors for Bethel Bounty included: Brentwood Bank, Bethel Bakery, Evey True Value Hardware and Become Better Sports Performance & Personal Training.

Platinum sponsors included: Highpoint Fitness, Hess Physical Therapy, Baird, Flora Park, Artis Senior Living, Staley Electric, Santel Landscape & Design, State Farm, All Pro Plumbing & Heating.

transfusions following her birth.

“Unfortunately, we never got an answer to what happened,” Nancy Tray said, adding that doctors immediately took Maddalena from the delivery room when she was not making any noise. “We, to this day, have no idea what happened to her.” Through Vitalant, Tray was able to host a blood drive before Maddalena’s first birthday. She said she was driven to become involved after learning less than 10% of those eligible to donate blood do so.

“It became a passion for me

… There were times when the nurses would come to us and say we don’t have any blood in the hospital that she needs. That just made me sick to my stomach,” Tray said.

According to Maya Santana, a Vitalant spokesperson, The Maddalena Tray Blood Drive has received 223 pints of blood from donors.

Santana notes that volunteers like Tray hosting blood drives in their communities help keep donations coming, particularly during the busy holiday season.

“It’s essential. Working with Nancy is a privilege,” Santana said. “These blood drives are crucial for maintaining a safe and steady blood supply for local hospitals.”

Tray said holding the blood drive the day before Thanksgiving was initially a matter of convenience, but the proximity to the holiday has grown meaningful for her family.

“We realized it’s awesome having it around Thanksgiving because we reflect on the gratitude and how thankful we are for Maddalena being with us,” Tray said.

Tray said that Maddalena continues to deal with chronic kidney disease as a result of her turbulent birth, but is otherwise a happy and healthy 8-year-old girl.

“If you look at her, she looks fine. She’s active. She’s on a competitive hip-hop dance team. She’s spunky. She loves to hang out with the dogs and hang out with her girlfriends,” Tray said.

The Maddalena Tray Blood Drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 26 at the Peters Township Public Library meeting room, located at 616 E. McMurray Road. Those interested in participating can make an appointment at vitalant.org or by calling 877-258-4825.

Vitalant also has other upcoming blood drives in the area. Center Presbyterian Church at 255 Center Church Road will host a blood drive Nov. 28, and a drive will be held Nov. 20 at the Wilfred R. Cameron Wellness Center at 240 Wellness Way in South Strabane Township.

UPMC Children’s opens second behavioral health walk-in Clinic

UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, in collaboration with UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, has opened a second pediatric behavioral walk-in clinic where children and teens up to age 18 can be seen for a variety of behavioral health concerns.

UPMC Children’s South Pediatric Behavioral Health Walk-In Clinic, on the first floor of Children’s South in Bridgeville, provides a safe and welcoming environment for children and teens with mental health concerns to receive care.

UPMC Children’s also operates a pediatric behavioral health walk-in clinic at the main hospital in Lawrenceville.

Therapists and psychologists are available for behavioral health assessments from 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Children and teens, accom-

panied by a parent or guardian, can walk in for same-day care without an appointment and receive a one-time intervention, plus referrals to resources.

“Mental health challenges among children and adolescents are rising, and families often struggle to find timely access to care,” said Dr. Abigail Schlesinger, clinical chief of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Integrated Care at UPMC Western and UPMC Children’s. “This second walk-in clinic provides an immediate, compassionate point of access for kids who need support right away. Early intervention can make a lasting difference in a child’s well-being, and our clinics ensure that help is available when it’s needed most – before a situation becomes a crisis.”

“The opening of our new behavioral health walk-in clinic represents an import-

ant step forward in supporting the mental well-being of our community’s children,” Diane Hupp, president of UPMC Children’s Hospital, said. “The opening of the new behavioral health walkin clinic is an important step in supporting the mental well-being of children in the community.

“We know that when a child is struggling, timely access to care can make all the difference. This clinic ensures that families have a safe, welcoming place to turn for immediate support – no appointment needed,” said Hupp. “Our goal is to remove barriers, reduce stigma, and make it easier for young people to get the help they need, when they need it most.”

UPMC Children’s also provides comprehensive behavioral health support through several initiatives. Clinical evaluators are available in the hospital’s emergency depart-

ment to assist the medical team with assessments and resources for patients and families. In addition, behavioral science psychologists are integrated into both inpatient and outpatient settings at UPMC Children’s, and a behavioral health nurse clinician offers specialized care for inpatients.

The clinic is supported by a gift from Elizabeth L. and John P. Surma. The walk-in clinic does not serve as a substitute for Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) and is not intended for children who may require hospitalization. Those experiencing an extreme mental health crisis can access care at PES in UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital or at the nearest hospital emergency department. Crisis counselors and behavioral and mental health crisis services are available by calling 988 at any time.

South Hills Pet Rescue saves abandoned dogs

By Jon Andreassi Staff writer jandreassi@observer-reporter.com

When dogs were found in deplorable conditions in September, South Hills Pet Rescue was there to help get them on the road to recovery.

Cynthia Hogan, the organization’s executive director, said that the first pair of dogs they brought in came after West Mifflin police were called to Mon View Heights Apartments in early September.

Officers contacted South Hills Pet Rescue to help. A 2-year-old husky named Nika had given birth, though there were no puppies. Along with Nika, there was also Sonic the pit bull.

“He was probably the sire for the puppies,” Hogan said. “People will mate dogs, sell the puppies and abandon the parents. And that seems to be the case here.”

Later in September the rescue was contacted by Pitcairn Borough police concerning two pit bulls, now named Starsky and Hutch.

Hogan said the two are brothers, and were found abandoned in a cellar.

According to a press release from South Hills Pet Rescue, they were discovered by contractors performing maintenance on the building. Due to their desperate situation, Starsky had attacked Hutch.

“Both dogs were brought to the rescue,” Hogan said.

The dogs continue to undergo veterinarian care and rehabilitation. Hogan said Nika was malnourished and required small liquid meals, and has started to put on weight.

“We also adopt dogs out pretty regularly. We try to keep as many as we can at any given time,” Hogan said.

South Hills Pet Rescue is located at 15 Old Route 88, South Park. The rescue was founded in 2013 by Ashley Rittle and Nick Ferraro. Hogan estimates they help between 300 and 600 dogs every year. They currently have about 60 dogs at their facility.

Hogan says South Hills Pet Rescue is currently in “dire need” of donations after a parvovirus outbreak among its dogs. They are also always looking for volunteers for special events, as well as for activities like walking dogs. Those interested in donating or volunteering can visit their website southhillspe -

trescue.org. The website also provides a list of currently adoptable dogs along with a link to apply for adoption.

The rescue estimates most dogs in their rehab and training program are ready for adoption within three to six months.

They hope Starsky and Hutch will be ready for their new homes by early spring.

Judge asks DA, coroner to find ‘common ground’ in escalating feud

By Mike Jones Staff writer mjones@observer-reporter.com

A judge in Washington County denied petitions from the district attorney asking the court to force the coroner to turn over autopsy reports without charging fees, ruling that it instead is a civil matter and should not be attached to the criminal court, while she also pleaded with the two warring sides to find “common ground.”

President Judge Valarie Costanzo swiftly denied the petition Nov. 13 brought forward by District Attorney Jason Walsh over concerns about a $700 fee charged by Coroner Timothy Warco, who the prosecutor claims has been withholding autopsy reports and other records in multiple homicide cases that are harming investigations and court proceedings.

“These are active prosecutions the commonwealth has,” said Deputy District Attorney John Friedmann, who appeared before Costanzo during the Nov. 13 hearing at the Washington County Courthouse.

But Costanzo questioned why the

motion was brought to her court under the criminal docket of active homicide prosecutions rather than through a lawsuit to allow a civil court judge in the courthouse decide the matter.

“I understand your dispute. It’s pretty clear,” Costanzo said. “It seems to me it’s a civil dispute about fees, and you’re bringing it as a criminal matter.”

The Coroner’s Act of 1955 allows for a $700 fee to be charged to “nongovernmental agencies,” which are usually insurance providers or other businesses trying to determine liability in a person’s death. That fee is not supposed to be charged to fellow government agencies such as district attorneys and police departments, but Warco’s solicitor, Timothy Uhrich, admitted charging those departments was a “novel approach” to recoup autopsy expenses. He added that the coroner’s office is under “no obligation” under the law to turn over autopsy reports to police or the district attorney.

“There is no mandate for us to provide anything,” Uhrich said.

Costanzo did not address that claim directly, but instead focused on the complaints about the fees in the district

attorney’s motion and how it was more suited for civil court.

“The crux of this dispute is whether the coroner’s office can assess fees to the district attorney’s office,” Costanzo said while denying Walsh’s motion to compel. “I am not ruling on the merits. This is a civil case.”

She then suggested that Walsh and Warco find a way to work out their disagreements outside of the courtroom after bitter fighting between the row offices has led to a lack of cooperation and communication over the last two years.

“This court would like for nothing more than these two parties to find common ground,” Costanzo said. “I think the people of Washington County would also like nothing more.”

Walsh filed the motion to compel discovery Nov. 5 in multiple cases in which the district attorney said they have been unable to get cooperation from the coroner’s office for death investigation reports. The same day the motion was filed, police officers from Washington, Canonsburg and state police accompanied the district attorney’s detectives in executing a search warrant at the cor-

oner’s office to seize copies of autopsy records in four deadly shootings and a fatal overdose. Outside the courtroom after the hearing, Walsh said he was unsure what course of action he would take next, raising concerns that a lawsuit over the situation could be tied up in appeals for years. He did not say whether his office would continue filing search warrants of the coroner’s office to retrieve death investigation reports for every homicide case that crosses his desk.

“We’re going to do whatever we have to do to protect our criminal cases,” Walsh said. “What are we going to do for the homicide tomorrow? What are we going to do to ensure justice for the victims?”

Earlier in the hearing, Costanzo denied attempts by Peters Township’s solicitor John Smith to have the municipality intervene on the district attorney’s petition over concerns that the township police department is unable to obtain death investigation records from the coroner without incurring the fee. The township was arguing that it has not been able to get the autopsy report

for the August death of a young child, who has not been publicly identified, as police are trying to investigate the case.

“You want to intervene in a criminal case?” Costanzo asked Smith.

“For the limited reason that this (situation) will impact us,” Smith responded.

Costanzo then asked if Smith knew of any case law allowing a municipality to intervene in a criminal matter – the petitions submitted by the district attorney’s office were related to several criminal homicide cases – but he acknowledged there was no legal precedent.

“Because none exists,” the judge said. “I’m happy with your candor with the court that you have no authority.”

While Smith said Peters Township and its police department could be affected by the situation between the district attorney and coroner, Costanzo was unmoved and denied the motion to intervene because the municipality has “no legal authority” to join the criminal cases.

“Seems like a civil matter to me,” Costanzo said. “This is clear cut.”

“We felt it necessary to at least bring our position to the court,” Smith said.

Art helps 107-year-old Bethel Park resident stay active

By Brad Hundt and Eleanor Bailey Staff writers bhundt@observer-reporter.com

ebailey@thealmanac.net

Once you’ve passed the century mark and kept going and going and going, it’s natural to be asked what the secret of longevity actually is.

For Jean Benson, a 107-year-old longtime resident of Bethel Park, part of the answer to the riddle lies in simply staying busy.

“People should get out and move, keep going,” Benson pointed out on a recent Saturday morning visit to the Schoolhouse Arts and History Center in Bethel Park. “I mean, you have no time to think about yourself. You have to be busy.”

Benson still lives on her own and, until recently, was mowing the grass in her yard. She has, however, found a less strenuous activity to keep herself occupied –tole painting, which is a form of folk art that has decorations being added to things like utensils, jewelry and toy boxes and chairs. She stopped by the Schoolhouse Arts and History Center to participate in its holiday artists’ market, where other area artists were selling their work.

Benson was born in October 1918, a month before the armistice was signed to end World War I, when the deadly Spanish flu pandemic was peaking in the United States and Theda Bara was wowing some moviegoers and shocking others in “Salome.” In 1918, giants of the art world like Pablo Picasso, Pierre-August Renoir, Norman Rockwell and Georgia O’Keefe were active, but Benson, a mother of six children, drew inspiration for her art from a much more

everyday source.

“I was looking in a magazine, and I said, ‘Oh, I can do that,’” Benson said. From there, she attended classes in Mt. Lebanon. She enjoys doing tole painting for its practicality – Benson explained that she paints on “things that we use all the time.”

Jean Slater, the communications director for the group South Arts Pittsburgh, described Benson as “amazing” and “incredible.” Slater said that Benson paints with a group on Mondays at the Schoolhouse Arts and History Center.

“They’ve been painting for years,” Slater said. “They just

get together. It’s more like an open studio. If they have a question, they’ll ask her. She helps them.” Benson lived in Ohio and Michigan at various points in her long life, but has spent much of it in Bethel Park. She said of the community: “It’s been wonderful. It’s a nice place to live. It’s really a lovely community, and it’s been for me. All the people are just lovely.” And when it comes to her art, Benson said it “gives me something to do. It keeps me relaxed. I forget my problems. It gives you something to do. It gives you purpose.”

HIGH PRAISE

South Fayette

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Harper Zapf never doubted South Fayette would be wearing the PIAA Class 3A soccer crown.

The sophomore defender never wavered in her thinking even when the Lady Lions fell behind, 1-0, to Radnor in the championship match played Nov. 15 at Northeastern High School’s Bobcat Stadium in Manchester.

It was the third time in the state tournament that had happened. South Fayette was forced to come from behind to beat undefeated Cocalico, 4-3, in overtime during the quarterfinals and Dubous, 6-1, in the semifinals before toppling the Raptors, 3-1, for the state championship.

“From the start, I knew it. I was like we’re coming back. We’re winning. We’re going all the way,” Zapf said with emphasis. “At no point were we coming here and not winning. That’s what we all said.

“Yeah, we were a little bit concerned but I have faith in our team. I knew that we would get right back into it because we’ve been down by a lot and we’ve been able to come back.”

South Fayette roared back with three unanswered, second-half goals to secure the school’s first state title in girls soccer history.

Zapf scored the insurance

tally off a set piece with 10:27 remaining, but for much of the match she contributed on the back line.

Zapf shared defensive duties with center backs Abbey Spalla and Rylee Binion along with Nora Davidovich and Maria Gabriel while Caitlyn Thompson anchored the unit in the nets, making three critical saves.

“It’s just so awesome and crazy to score a goal in a state championship game,” Zapf said.

Goals were hard to come by for Radnor opponents because the Raptors rode a seven-game postseason shutout streak into the state final.

The Raptors also made Keira Mucksavage’s tally in the fourth minute hold up until 25:12 remained in the second half.

At that point, Gabby Beinecke was tackled in the box, near the left side of the end line, and South Fayette was awarded a penalty kick. Abbey Spalla converted the shot to tie the match, 1-1.

“We were creating so many opportunities, which also helped create that penalty shot because we were driving,” said South Fayette head coach Nick Rosser. “We pretty much work on (penalty kicks) every day in practice and Abbey is one of four girls who are pretty good at them.

“Once we get that one goal, then we just keep going,” Rosser added.

As a football coach, Joe Rossi etched his name in the history books at South Fayette High School. During his 17-year tenure, he guided the Lions to four WPIAL titles and two PIAA championships.

The winning tradition rubbed off on his family such that his offspring cannot help but replicate his achievements.

“Definitely, I want to carry on the legacy that he’s brought here,” said Silvianna Rossi. “I knew I wanted to keep our name alive with a state championship title.”

So Silvi did just that. On Nov. 15, she scored the game-winning goal in the PIAA Class 3A championship soccer match where South Fayette defeated Radnor, 3-1, at Northeastern High School in Manchester.

“This is just an amazing feeling,” Silvi

Reston Lehman didn’t want to wait until next autumn to start his playing career at Acrisure Stadium. So the 6-4, 240-pound senior took matters into his own hands as he led the Peters Township High School football team back to the field where he will compete when he attends the University of Pittsburgh. Lehman played at Acrisure Stadium last year when the Indians lost to Pine-Richland, 20-9, in the 2024 WPIAL Class 5A championship game. On Nov. 22, 2025, Peters Township (12-0) battled the Rams (11-1) for the district title again on the North Shore.

“It’s a great place to play. I’m pumped and excited as I’ll be in that stadium next year when I’m at Pitt,” Lehman said.

While Lehman as usual flexed his muscles on defense as the Indians defeated Upper St. Clair, 31-6, in the semifinals played Nov. 14 at Canon-McMillan’s AHN Stadium, he did much damage on offense as well. From his tight end slot, Lehman hauled in four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. His 14-yard reception from Nolan DiLucia gave Peters Township a 14-3 lead with 3:40 remaining in the first half.

“I loved it,” Lehman said. “Though I’ll play defense at Pitt, one of my favorite things is making those catches.” Because Lehman had been dealing with nagging injuries this fall, his offensive production was limited. He had 20 catches for 380 yards and six touchdowns heading into the championship game. His numbers ranked behind wide receivers P.J. Luke and Lucas Rost as well as fellow tight end and Stanford recruit Lucas Shanafelt.

“I’m not going to lie. I haven't been as efficient offensively because of the injuries and I

enthused. “It was so fun to just finish a

great ball and celebrate with my teammates.

“We made history for our school,” she continued of the program’s first-ever state soccer title. “This has never happened before and to do this with my best friends, my second family, it’s an incredible feeling.”

Silvi’s first family not only includes her father, it features her mother, Karley, brother, Charley, and two other sisters, Addy and Julianna. Silvi is just the latest sibling to have followed in their father’s winning footsteps.

Charley was an all-state receiver on South Fayette’s 2018 WPIAL championship football team. He scored the game-winning touchdown in a 31-24 victory over Thomas Jefferson at Heinz Field.

Julianna played on the South Fayette

With

crossing shot into the net.

“Silvi’s a workhorse,” Rosser said. “As a freshman, she has really come along and learned so much. She has benefited from great leadership.”

Rosser cited team captains Mia Deramo and Quinn Miller specifically for taking Rossi under their wings. Both are seniors bound for Youngstown State to continue their playing careers.

Deramo had high praise for Rossi.

“Silvi’s amazing,” she said.

“She’s just a little freshman and I’m so proud of how far she’s come. I know she’s going to do even more as she grows up because she is just awesome.”

Deramo noted that all three girls who scored for the Lady Lions were underclassmen. “That showed they all did this for the seniors. It was our last game and that was really just a heartfelt effort that resulted in the win.”

While Deramo and Miller shared captain duties with Thompson, they represented a small senior class that also included Camdyn Johnson, Paige Deklewa, Gabriel, Binion and Davidson. Nevertheless their kinship with the underclassmen proved the cohesiveness that produced the championship.

“We all played for each other and that resulted in a very important win,” Dera-

mo said. “This is a group that has faced a lot of adversity and battled back because we just love each other and keep playing every single minute and every game for each other.”

Rosser agreed that the team’s chemistry, camaraderie and fortitude propelled them throughout the season, a season that saw the Lady Lions claim a section banner but fail to win a third-straight WPIAL championship only to rebound to win the PIAA title.

South Fayette finished 22-2-1 overall while Radnor ended the season with a 20-5 record.

“This is a group that just never gives up,” Rosser said. “The girls love each other and they pull for each other. They all can go onto the field and contribute. They never give up. They just keep going.”

girls basketball team, which won its first state title in program history this past March.

The Lady Lions had also captured three WPIAL championships in a row. Julianna played and scored a point on a free throw in the PIAA win, 45-37, against Archbishop Wood on March 29 at the Giant Center in Hershey.

“Jules was amazing and it’s really cool that she has some WPIAL medals and a state gold too and it’s cool to have scored the game-winning goal like Charley had that touchdown,” Silvi said. “To follow in their footsteps is incredible.”

forth attempting to cover everything but it was impossible to be in two places at one time.

On the Saturday Silvi was to play in the soccer final, Charley was scheduled to be feted during Senior Day activities for his final home game at Princeton. Flights had already been booked, but when the Lions breezed past Dubois, 6-1, in the state semifinals, Mr. Rossi looked at his wife and decreed, “I’m going to the state championship.”

Charley was in agreement.

portive of her endeavors.

“My parents were just such great role models for us and they are always there to cheer for us. It’s just amazing to have them in the stands watching me.

“Honestly,” Silvi added, “My dad’s legacy helps me. It gives me a lot of confidence and something to strive for.” Win or lose, Mr. Rossi was there for his daughter as both a former coach and a parent. He said playing in a state championship contest is “emotional” so he thought it was “important” for him to be there for Silvi.

For daughter and father, the PIAA soccer tournament was an incredible ride. It required a coordinated effort to bring home a championship.

Because of Charley’s playing career at Princeton, the family adopted a “divide and conquer” approach to attending Silvi’s soccer matches, including the championship contest.

While South Fayette came back from a 3-0 deficit to upset Cocalico, 4-3, in overtime of a PIAA quarterfinal match, the Rossi family was in New Hampshire watching Princeton fall to Dartmouth, 20-17.

“When it was 3-0, I told them to shut it off and pay attention to Charley’s game because it was one of his last few games,” said Mr. Rossi. “Then all of sudden somebody texted us and said they were back in it. We had given up at that point so that taught us to not give up on this team even though (Cocalico) was undefeated and everything.”

Mr. Rossi said the family had been bouncing back and

During a family phone conversation he told his father that he needed to be in Pennsylvania to support Silvi and the whole community because South Fayette was going to win. “It seems like they are a team of destiny,” he said. So while Karley, Addy and Julianna went to see Charley play in Princeton’s 13-10 loss to Yale, Mr. Rossi traveled to Manchester for the PIAA final. It was a trip down memory lane for the 50-year-old former football skipper.

When Mr. Rossi woke up the morning of the game, he saw the South Fayette girls all eating breakfast together in the cafeteria and walked away in tears.

“This team reminds me of them,” Mr. Rossi said of his back-to-back state champions of 2013 and 2014. “They had such great senior leadership like the group we had. Obviously, they have a ton of talent but it’s the leadership piece of the older girls that really propelled Silvi to have an amazing year.”

From the start, Joe and Karley pushed their daughter towards greatness. Silvi, like her older sister, played basketball since third grade, but traded that sport for track this year to hone her soccer skills. Plus, her parents were sup-

“Either there are tears of joy or tears of sorrow,” he said. “I just wanted to be able to hug her either way. It’s such an emotional day because you just worked so hard and it’s such a long season. That’s why I made the decision to be here. To support Silvi,” Mr. Rossi said. With the soccer season completed for 2025, the attention in the Rossi family turns to the future. There is a championship to be captured in lacrosse for Addy and more bling to secure for Silvi, who is only a freshman.

“We tease my third one because she’s the only one without a medal,” Mr. Rossi said. “My junior is my lacrosse player and she’s hooked. So we’re hoping she can do something this year with that.”

South Fayette girls soccer coach Nick Rosser chuckled about the family’s Midas touch. “That family’s got a lot of state champions. Silvi kind of had to come home with one. So, she’s already fulfilled the family requirement.

“As a freshman, she’s got a few more years to see what she can do as far as equaling or bettering her father,” Rosser continued. “There’s definitely that opportunity.”

didn’t really get to do much on offense but I’m happy doing it enough.

“I was called to do my job out there and I got to get the ball in my hands, but any of us could have done that. Everyone’s doing their own job and I’m glad I made some plays against St. Clair.”

On defense, where his skills get utilized the most, Lehman made even bigger plays. He collected seven tackles and recorded three of his team’s nine sacks as the Indians snuffed out USC’s offense. Lehman also forced a fumble. The Indians held the Panthers to 104 yards rushing and 84 yards passing and a pair of field goals, measuring 27 and 22 yards from Jacobo Echeverria Lozano.

In addition to Lehman, Shanafelt, Rost, Jackson Hardcastle, Keenan Doran, Gabe Kita and James Spratt all recorded sacks. Rost also intercepted a pass. Spratt, Hardcastle, Kita, Lehman and DiLucia all had seven or more tackles.

“Our relentless effort was the key to the game,” Lehman said. “We were just flying around and everybody had each other’s back. That and brotherhood is what wins championships.”

NOTES: Cole Neupaver rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns while DiLucia completed nine passes for 174 yards in the win against USC.

NO MORE ‘CLICKETY-CLACK’

New terminal opens at Pittsburgh International Airport

By Brad Hundt newsroom@heraldstandard.com

Even as it opened to the public for the first time Nov. 18, the new terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport was as hushed as a library and as calm as a yoga studio.

The quiet of the new terminal was noticed by Marcia Marsico, a volunteer at the airport. She pointed out that “you don’t have all the tiles on the floor” as there were in the now-shuttered old terminal, “so you don’t hear the clickety-clack of the luggage.”

After more than a decade of planning, four years of construction and an investment of more than $1 billion, the new terminal at the airport started welcoming passengers, employees and airline crew when most people in the region were still slumbering or just waking up. A United Airlines overnight flight from San Francisco was its first arrival a little after 5 a.m. It was followed very shortly after by the departure of a Southwest Airlines flight to Denver.

Around lunchtime, Christina Cassotis, CEO of the Allegheny County Airport Authority, said the new terminal’s opening had gone well.

“So far it feels calm and we can handle everything we’ve been facing today,” Cassotis said. “People are walking in and smiling.”

of ground transportation. Parking has also been reconfigured, with a garage, and lots for vehicles and shuttle buses.

The security screening capacity at the airport has also been doubled as a result of the new terminal – now, up to 12 screening lanes will be available.

Both Monday, Nov. 17, and Tuesday, Nov. 18, were very long days for airport personnel as the switchover from the old terminal to the new one proceeded. A Delta flight from Atlanta that landed about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday was the last arrival at the old terminal. By 3 a.m., check-ins had already started at the new terminal.

out-of-towner who arrived at the old terminal and was leaving from the new one. On her way home to Peoria, Ill., Tuesday morning, she was impressed by the new terminal.

Cassotis pointed out work on the new terminal is still incomplete, with construction proceeding on two new outdoor terraces on the arrivals level that officials say will provide a unique touch for the new terminal.

Las Vegas resident Alena Pimentel arrived in Pittsburgh for a visit with her mother at the old terminal, and was going to be departing from the new terminal. Her verdict? “It’s really nice,” she said. “It looks a lot bigger.” Patricia Tomlin is another

“It looks beautiful,” she said.

The new terminal has three levels with roads leading up to each one, with departures being on the top level, arrivals at the middle level and the lower level reserved for taxis, hotel shuttle buses and other forms

“There is more work to be done,” she said.

Still, Cassotis was pleased how the new terminal’s first day had gone.

“For the passengers, for the crew and for the people who work here, it’s been fine,” she explained.
