Fourth of July traditions feature fireworks galore

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Though the Fourth of July falls on a Thursday this year, the celebration will be no less colorful and action-packed as many South Hills communities will cling to the tradition of fireworks at dusk.

Two area boroughs will kick off festivities just after dawn with foot races for the health conscious and fun-minded souls.

Brentwood and Canonsburg boast the biggest celebrations, complete with parades.

Activities in Brentwood commence with the 41st annual Firecracker 5K, one of the largest, longest-running and most popular races in the tri-state area, attracting elite athletes and families with spectators cheering along the route because it follows the parade path. The race begins at 9 a.m. followed by the parade at 10 a.m.

Registration for the run ends July 2 at 11 p.m. Fee is $25 per

SOUTH FAYETTE AND UPPER ST. CLAIR JOIN FORCES FOR A FIREWORKS DISPLAY THAT CAN BE VIEWED FROM FAIRVIEW PARK AND BOYCE MAYVIEW PARK OR VARIOUS OTHER LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITIES. FIREWORKS ARE LAUNCHED AT 9:30 P.M. FROM FAIRVIEW PARK, BUT VEHICLE PARKING IS LIMITED INSIDE THE PARK. runner with a $15 rate for ages 1 to 11. Final packet pick-up is scheduled for 4 to 7 p.m. July 2 at Baldwin High School.

Brentwood’s fireworks display will be held at 9:30 p.m.

Seating is available in the high school stadium as well as lawn seating in the park.

On July 3, Brentwood will conduct its annual Battle of the Barrel between local fire companies. Competition runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on Brownsville Road between Marylea and Munsey avenues.

The parade route assembles at Brownsville and Sankey and proceeds down the town’s main thoroughfare to Brent-

wood Town Square at Dewalt Ave. Sen. Jim Brewster is the parade’s grand marshal.

The Whiskey Rebellion 5K Race, sponsored by the Canon-McMillan cross-country boosters, begins at 7:30 a.m. at the high school track, located at Memorial Stadium in Canonsburg. While the distance is the same, 3.1 miles, there are two distinct events: 5K run or 5K walk. Fee is $28 for either event. There is a price increase for those registering after July 2.

Visit https://runsignup. com to sign up for either the Brentwood or Canonsburg races.

While there will be no parades, Mt. Lebanon, Dormont and Scott Township have planned a full day of activities for the Fourth of July.

Activities in Mt. Lebanon begin at noon in the main park, located off Cedar Boulevard. Games, amusements, food and fun events will run until 5 p.m.

A free concert, near the outdoor basketball courts, will be held at 7:30 p.m. The Delaneys have been performing a variety of covers as well as original songs for 15 years.

Gourisree Prasanth has always been interested in aviation.

She comes by it naturally, as her grandmother and uncle work for the Indian Space Research Organization, the space agency of India.

“When I was a kid I was always watching launches,” she said.

Now, she can generate her own launches. The recent graduate of South Fayette High School is the first student of the Fly Like a Girl (FLAG) Drone Academy to receive a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) drone pilot license.

“I just looked at it as an opportunity to learn something new,” Prasanth said.

“This drone academy came up and it seemed really interesting. This was something I never tried before. It was challenging, but it was a good challenge. It was really rewarding to be the first one.”

FLAG is a partnership of the South Fayette, Baldwin-Whitehall, Beaver Area, Ambridge, McKeesport Area, West Allegheny and Elizabeth Forward school districts created to attract more females to aviation.

Dr. Kristin Deichler, South Fayette assistant superintendent, explained that FLAG is the result of a collaborative effort between her, Dr. Janeen Peretin, director of communication, innovation

“I JUST LOOKED AT IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW... THIS WAS SOMETHING I NEVER TRIED BEFORE. IT WAS CHALLENGING, BUT IT WAS A GOOD CHALLENGE.” — GOURISREE PRASANTH, GRADUATE OF SOUTH FAYETTE HIGH SCHOOL and advancement at Baldwin-Whitehall, and Emily Sanders, Beaver Area assistant superintendent.

The trio applied for a Moonshot grant from Remake Learning for $70,000 to build an academy for high school females who are interested in obtaining their FAA 107 drone pilot license.

Remake Learning is a free peer network for educators and innovators in the greater Pittsburgh region.

SF student creates an app for autism support

COURTESY OF AUTISM UNITY INITIATIVE

Nandana Menon has created an app geared toward children with autism.

SOUTH FAYETTE Student leads charge to raise funds for cancer research PAGE A6 What’s happening, B3

Nandana Menon saw a need to help children with autism and set out to fill it.

The incoming senior at South Fayette High School has developed a free app geared toward high-functioning autistic children.

The idea comes from a proj-

ect that resulted in her achieving the Girl Scout Gold Award – Girl Scouting’s highest award – and has advanced to a partnership with Pittsburgh technology firm CGI. Menon, 17, noticed a lack of interaction in some children as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the knowledge that young people traditionally learn to communicate through play and observation,

she believed wearing face masks may have helped contribute to some development issues. Since many are avid users of electronic devices, she created a platform with comprehensive resources and engaging activities tailored for autistic children to help them use their online time more constructively.

Autism FROM PAGE A1 “I had the idea of creating an app for children with autism because I saw how so many kids in my community were kind of lost,” Menon said. “It made me sad to see kids in the community not wanting to play with other kids their age and being so attached to their phones that they were having tantrums if you tried to take it off of them. I wanted to figure out a way to find something to mitigate that issue. There’s no app for children with autism and I wanted to supply that.”

She participated in a program for high school girls interested in STEM called LAUNCH (Learn Aspire Understand Navigate Connect Highlight) sponsored by the Pittsburgh Technology Council in the spring of 2023.

Through that program, she had the chance to focus on engineering and app design. At the same time, she was doing a lot of reading on autism and realized there wasn’t an app for children with autism to supplement existing therapies.

That led to her pitching her idea to CGI, which is now working with her in developing the app.

“They loved it,” Menon said. “We had a few workshops to plan out the app, figure out how it was going to run and to understand the basics behind it. We’ve been developing it for over a year.”

The app will offer one point of view for the child, and another for parents, caregivers and/or therapists.

“A lot of times when your child is diagnosed with autism it’s overwhelming,” Menon explained. “The app is kind of like a one-stop shop.

It’s a learning habitat.”

Fourth FROM PAGE A1 The outdoor swim center will be open from noon to 7 p.m. General admission is $10 for adults and $9 for senior citizens, 62 and older, as well as children, ages 3-18.

The fireworks display will be held at 9:30 p.m.

Rain date is July 5 for both the concert and fireworks.

Of note, there is no parking in the recreation center lot that day. Only handicap parking is permitted with an official permit.

Additionally, merchants, food vendors, businesses and organizations can still pre-register to participate in the day’s event.

High school students are still needed to work games.

Pay is $10 per hour. Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 412-343-3409 to volunteer.

Visit: mtlebanon.org for more details on the day.

Dormont Day Celebration will be held from 7 to 10 p.m.

July 4 at the pool parking lot and along the hillside.

Zambelli fireworks start at 9:30 p.m. Live music featuring School of Rock from 7 to 7:45 p.m. and Totally 80s from 8:15 to 9:30 p.m. will be offered.

Food from Tom’s Diner on Wheels and Kona Ice as well as hot dogs and other cool treats will be available for purchase.

The child will experience four or five learning modules focused on the alphabet, counting, and communication-based activities in which autistic children tend to struggle most.

Another module includes breathing exercises to help calm a child when overstimulated.

“There will be a series of curated videos, games and educational resources that the child can use,” Menon said.

For the adults, there will be a support list of credible organizations, websites and articles recommended by staff at the University of Pittsburgh’s Autism Clinic and a growth log to show how much time the child is spending on each activity and how the child is doing.

“They can see what the child is watching, how long they’re watching it and when they’re watching it,” Menon said. “They can see where they need more help.”

The app is scheduled to launch on all platforms on Sept. 30. Menon also has taken the lead in building a website, autismunityinitiative.org, to support the app. It serves as an information hub with a more complete list of support organizations than can be included in the app.

“I also want to eventually share videos of me talking with different professionals in the autism field and provide information and answers to common questions for parents,” Menon said.

Along with the website and app development, Menon has launched a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization called Autism Unity Initiative (AUI).

She hopes to someday pursue a career in the medical field working with children.

“From the start, we just wanted to help people,” Menon said.

Visit boro.dormont.pa.us for more details on the day’s activities.

Scott Township Community Day runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in Scott Park, located at 1 Park Drive.

In addition to games and prizes for kids, there will be the annual “Money Hunt” at the pool. The pool will close at 6 p.m. but reopen at 7 p.m. for all to watch the fireworks, which will light up the sky at 9:30 p.m.

Visit https://scott-twp.com/ for more details on events.

South Fayette and Upper St. Clair join forces for a fireworks display that can be viewed from Fairview Park and Boyce Mayview Park or various other locations throughout the communities. Fireworks are launched at 9:30 p.m. from Fairview Park, but vehicle parking is limited inside the park.

Other fireworks displays in the area include: ■ Crafton at dusk: At 4 p.m. there will be music, food trucks and free activities for the whole family.

10% off any size beverage

USC budget includes tax increase The Upper St. Clair School Board approved the 2024-25 final budget totaling $104,452,426 during its June meeting. The final budget includes a 3.25% millage increase of 0.9631 mills – resulting in a final millage rate of 30.5970 mills.

Early in the budgeting process, the Board approved a resolution limiting any possible tax increase to within the inflationary index determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). The resolution capped any tax increase at 5.3% or 1.5705 mills; the approved spending plan is well below that limit.

“This budget preserves what we know works for kids,” said Dr. John Rozzo, superintendent. “There are no reductions in programs nor any reductions in staff.”

Stagnant funding, inflation, assessment reductions, and

the loss of pandemic funding have challenged districts across Allegheny County and Pennsylvania. The district has not used pandemic funding nor fund balance to fund recurring costs in the general fund budget.

“A lot of the work that has happened over the last few years – in particular when times have been more challenging – have positioned the district well,” Rozzo said.

“We have not bankrupted the future of the district to get through the present time, even though some of those times were very challenging.

Part of the reason why this tax increase is much less aggressive is because of the due diligence of the administration and the board over the last couple of years.”

Scott Burchill, director of business and finance, cau-

tioned school board members and administrators about the negative impact of assessment appeals and the need for a county-wide reassessment.

During the 2023-24 school year, revenues decreased by more than $1 million, which accounts for nearly half of the approved tax increase.

“A portion of the tax increase is to make up for the lost revenues from assessment reductions over the last 12 to 18 months,” Burchill said. “We need a reassessment and we need it quickly. Hopefully, it gets rectified soon.”

Upper St. Clair’s budget is primarily funded by local taxpayers – accounting for more than 78% of all district revenue. The state contributes 21% and the federal government provides under $509,000 – less than half of 1% of overall revenues.

A drone used at Fly Like a Girl

Drone FROM PAGE A1 “We were successful in obtaining the grant for not only the first year, but they gave us more funds to continue it for a second year, which is not traditionally what happens with Moonshot grants,” Deichler said. “All three of us, as female administrators, believe females are underrepresented not only in the drone pilot field but with pilots in general.”

According to 2021 FAA statistics, nearly 264,000 individuals have obtained the Remote Pilot Airman Certificate since the enactment of the small drone rules in 2016.

Females account for a little less than 8% of the certificates earned.

“We don’t feel that’s a strong enough representation,” Deichler said. “We believe that having your drone pilot’s license really is a skill that crosses so many sectors.

It’s an emerging skill that’s used in so many industries.

Females can leave high school and not pursue a higher education degree and use this skill to be an employee somewhere and make a profitable living.”

The academy, which hosts classes at South Fayette High School, began in 2023 and connected high school girls interested in STEM-related fields with curriculum, equip-

The budget supports several capital improvement projects throughout the district, including the ongoing roof replacement at the high school, HVAC systems throughout the district, athletic wing renovations at the high school, district-wide safety and security enhancements, new buses/vans, concrete repairs, interior improvements to the high school, as well as gym equipment.

The annual tax impact of the increase on a $250,000 home, the average assessed home in Upper St. Clair, is $240.77 or $20.06 per month.

(To calculate the impact on a specific property value, multiply the property’s county assessed value by 0.0009631.)

The budget is available on the district’s website and at the district’s administration building, 1775 McLaughlin Run Road.

ment, and hands-on training.

Instruction is provided by Dr. Lori Paluti, owner of Pittsburgh Drone Services and a certified drone pilot.

“We felt it was important to find a female drone specialist in the area to teach our student pilots,” Deichler said.

“She provides the theory and the hands-on flight instruction in our academy.”

The recent cohort, the second for the academy, saw 25 girls participate.

One of those participants is Prasanth, 17, who plans to attend Penn State University in the fall to major in aerospace engineering and hopes to one day work at NASA. Prasanth said that the students flew the drones for about half of each class, while

the remainder of the instruction time was dedicated to learning aviation material.

“It’s very heavy aviation material,” Prasanth said. “It’s not perfectly tailored to just unmanned vehicles. It was a good mix between knowing aerospace, knowing different communications for airports, different frequencies and airport regulations and things like that.

It was a long process to prepare for it. There was a lot more to it than you would expect.”

Prasanth filmed practices for the South Fayette football team in the fall, and has been working with Carnegie Mellon University on a project for a drone to deliver rescue medication to less accessible places.

Prasanth plans to continue workingwithdronesatPennState.

“It’s a growing industry, so getting a job and being able to make some money to pay off my college tuition would be nice,” she said. “Being able to relate that to my education in aerospace is very beneficial.”

Deichler said FLAG will be able to continue thanks to the grant. The goal is for each of the districts to be able to build their own program.

“Drone technology will shape the future, and we believe it is the responsibility of today’s educators to provide the technology support, networking and safe spaces that are essential for female students to explore their career aspirations,” Deichler said.

The Peters Township Dance Team traveled to Orlando, Fla., in February to compete for its third national title in as many years and was victorious. The dance team entered the Universal Dance Association national competition as the reigning back-toback champions in the small varsity hip-hop divisions. While accepting the award, senior captain Anna Radnor was asked what the team’s motivation was. “I would say not getting comfortable and always outdoing your past self. Just keep working hard and making each other proud,” Radnor said.

Motivated to make a difference

Camryn Hondru led a team that raised $50,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

South Fayette student leads charge to raise money for cancer research

Camryn Hondru is motivated to make a difference.

That’s why the 17-year old, who just completed her junior year at South Fayette High School, is a part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries Program.

She also was motivated by classmate and family friend Tyler Schepis, and his recent battle with stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

“We run a team for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,” Hondru explained, referring to the visionaries program fundraiser. “I got to be a leader this year. I got to pick my teammates and I also got to pick who would lead with me.”

She chose Schepis, who she said is doing great, and sophomore Taylor Peters to be her co-leaders.

“I like to be in charge and be a leader,” Hondru said.

“I asked Tyler to be a leader with me because he has such a personal touch with it. Seeing him go through it was hard, because I couldn’t really do a lot. Once Tyler was diagnosed and watching him go through it, that really sparked me. I watched him struggle through cancer because there really wasn’t anything I could fully do to make him feel better. I became really invested in the research aspect of the cause.

It just meant a lot to me to lead the team.”

Hondru raised $5,000 on her own as a team member her sophomore year.

The Student Visionaries of the Year program is a development endeavor for high school students in which they embark on a seven-week mission to create a world without blood cancers.

Between Feb. 2 and March 22, the team known as Cancer Conquerors went about raising as much money as possible for LLS. Fundraising events were held at Black Dog Wine Co., as well as Primanti’s and Chipotle. Companies were asked for donations, raffle baskets were sold and a stay at the Hondru family’s house in Deep Creek, Md., was part of a fundraiser. Additional money was raised through an Easter egg hunt.

Hondru and Schepis joined former Pittsburgh Steeler Arthur Moats on his podcast to discuss their efforts and their goal of putting an end to cancer.

Cancer Conquerors raised about $50,000 from more than 400 donors. For reaching that mark, the team earned a hero award from LLS. The Pittsburgh region had 16 LLS Student Visionaries teams in 2024 consisting

of 155 members who raised $802,743 during the seven-week span.

Team leaders also could apply for Mission Awards by writing an essay. Hondru focused her essay on research for blood cancer. She received a Mission Award from LLS and a $250 college scholarship for her effort.

For her efforts focusing on research, Hondru also received the Research Pillar Award as part of the Visionaries of the Year competition.

Research is one of three mission pillars the candidates can champion, along with patent education and support and policy and advocacy.

“It feels super rewarding,” Hondru said. “It makes me really happy to know that this money will go to people who need it more than anybody else. It’s really cool to think that just 16 kids raised $50,000.”

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

“Lilly is one of my closest friends. Such a great mentor, especially after the 100,” Matheny said. “She is definitely somebody that I can look to and rely on. She has been to the Games and has had her share of ups and downs in the sport. She helped pull me through it along with my incredible team and coaches. Just to help me get back on the horse and get ready to race.”

Facing a field that included his friendly rival, Matt Fallon, Matheny stuck to his strategy, not to mention style, to secure second place with a 2:08.86 time.

“In each race, you know what works best for you,” he explained. “I know no matter how hard I try I would never be able to come home like that. Not many people can, but I have found that getting out ahead and seeing if you can catch me is what ends up mostly working for me.”

The WPIAL recently released section alignments for the 2024-25 winter sports season and there are major changes impacting local Almanac schools, particularly in basketball.

In Class 6A, there are 16 teams and they will be divided into two, eight-team sections.

On the boys side, Canon-McMillan, Central Catholic, Connellsville, Hempfield, Imani Christian, Mt. Lebanon, Norwin and Upper St. Clair will compete in Section 2 while Butler, Fox Chapel, New Castle, North Allegheny, North Hills, Pine-Richland, Seneca Valley and Woodland Hills play in Section 1.

Imani Christian, which won a PIAA state championship and finished runner-up in the WPIAL last winter, is voluntarily playing up from Class 1A. USC also opts to continue to play up a division. The Panthers were the WPIAL 6A champions.

“There is going to be a lot of balance,” said USC floor boss Dan Holzer. “Especially with Imani Christian and Central Catholic, it is going to be very interesting.”

The Panthers graduated just two seniors from last year’s 22-6 championship club but return Tyler Robbins.

The 6-10 center averaged 13.6 points, 11.3 rebound and 5.5 blocks a game last season as a junior. Accurate on 61.5 percent of his field goal attempts, he is receiving Division I offers, especially as he hones his skills on the summer AAU circuit.

“We feel like we have a good team coming back but it’s going to be a different challenge, particularly with Imani in the league,” Holzer said. “They are a really good, talented team.

“There is a world of difference playing 1A to 6A but it’s going to be a battle every game. It’s good for the league.”

Not so good is Baldwin’s move to Class 5A. The Highlanders, who were runners-up to USC in the WPIAL title game, will compete in Section 3 with Bethel Park, Peters Township, Ringgold, South Fayette, Thomas Jefferson and Trinity.

“We will miss Baldwin like we do Bethel Park and Peters Township. Those were some great natural rivalries,” Holzer

Josh Matheny reacts after realizing his second-place finish in the 200-meter breaststroke race during the Olympic Trials clinched his spot on the national swim team that will participate in the Summer Games set for July 26 to Aug. 11 in Paris.

Heading to Paris

Matheny qualifies for Olympics

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

There was a silver lining after all for Josh Matheny during the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for swimming held June 15-23 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

After just missing out on a berth for the Summer Olympic Games by seven-hundreds of a second in the 100-meter breaststroke, Matheny earned his spot on the national team at the 200 distance. A second-place showing earned him a selection by USA Swimming.

Matheny is now one of only 52 swimmers, 26 of them men, headed to Paris for the Summer Games, which start with the Opening Ceremony on July 26 and close Aug. 11.

“Super excited to wear the cap and race for the United States,” said the 21-year-old son of Jeff and Kristin.

Since he was 8, Matheny said he “dreamed” of representing the country as he rooted for Team USA athletes while watching the Olympics.

“This means the absolute world to me,” he said.

Matheny’s selection matters more because it almost didn’t happen.

On the second day of the trials, the scoreboard read discouraging news. Matheny had finished third in his signature swim, the 100 breaststroke. Only the top two swimmers qualified for the team and Matheny missed by seven-hundreds of a second.

During the race, he clocked a 59.23 while Charlie Swanson posted a 59.16 to finish

second and secure a spot on the roster. Nic Fink won the race in 59.08.

Matheny used that finish as motivation in the 200 breaststroke. Though he was seeded third after winning his semifinal heat with a time

of 2:08.79, Matheny roared back to secure his spot in Paris.

“The thought of just getting third again powered me to the wall,” he said.

A pep talk with Lilly King also fueled Matheny. The two

are teammates at Indiana University. King also qualified for the Olympic Games, where she already has won two gold medals. She is also the current record holder in the long course 100-meter breaststroke.

Marlins sign Lebo’s Kitchen After a crazy couple of days, professional baseball pitcher Austin Kitchen of Mt. Lebanon has ended up with the Miami Marlins.

On June 22, Kitchen was selected to the Colorado 40man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He did not make an appearance for the Rockies before he was designated for assignment (DFA) the following day, thus becoming a phantom player because he spent one day on the active roster.

By being tagged DFA, Kitchen went on waivers. On June 25, he was claimed by the Marlins.

“I’m so happy for Austin because he has really grinded his way through the leagues,” said his former high school coach Patt McCloskey.

“He’s a left-handed pitcher that has shown he can get outs

A C H I E V I N G AT H L E T E S at a very high level. I know he still throws hard (low 90s) and has very good secondary pitches.”

As a Blue Devil, Kitchen compiled a 12-2 record in his final two seasons on the mound. At the time, he set a school record 1.07 ERA. “Austin is on the short list of toughest and hardest working players who have come through our program,” McCloskey said. “Every chance he gets is because he put in the work, and continues to have the desire to compete.”

After playing at Mt. Lebanon Kitchen enjoyed success at Coastal Carolina University, where he was a member of the Chanticleers’s College World Series championship club in 2016.

After playing for the Cotuit Kettleers in the Cape Cod League, Kitchen missed the 2018 baseball season due to a torn ACL. In 2020, he spent the summer with the Steel City Slammin’ Sammies of the Washington League. In nine games, he recorded a 1.50 ERA with 11 strikeouts.

The following year, Kitchen signed with the Washington Wild Things in the Frontier League before being signed to a minor league contract with the Rockies, where he had success pitching with the Fresno Grizzlies at the A level, and Albuquerque Isotopes in AAA. In 23 games this season, he had a 3.00 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP over 33 innings.

WPIAL FROM PAGE B1 said. “We’re still excited about our league. I hate to compare it to college but it’s like the ACC and Big East where there are good teams battling each other every game.”

Also in Class 5A, which will feature four sections, Chartiers Valley will compete against Blackhawk, Lincoln Park, Mars, Montour, Moon and West Allegheny. The Colts are under the direction of new head coach Corey Dotchin.

Dotchin replaces Brandon Sensor, who recently was hired as the new boss at Shaler. The Colts went 82-39 in Sensor’s first five years.

The Colts were 11-12 overall this winter. They lost in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.

Dotchin previously coached at Highlands. He was 55-22 in three seasons and twice led the Rams to the WPIAL semifinals.

Local girls’ teams also are experiencing a shake-up between Class 6A and 5A. Mt. Lebanon and Upper St. Clair remain in 6A while Peters Township and Bethel Park drop to 5A.

In 7-8 age group, Francesca Carnevale smashed the record for the softball toss while Jackson DiLeanardo broke the record in the long jump.

South Fayette, which is the three-time WPIAL reigning champion, will compete in Section 3 with Chartiers Valley, Mars, Montour, Moon, New Castle and West Allegheny.

The WPIAL won’t release section schedules or playoff formats for basketball until after the PIAA summer meeting on July 18.

The reason for the delay on the PIAA side is that the league had scheduled the state championships for March 20-22 at Giant Center in Hershey, however, the facility was already booked for those days for a Cirque du Soleil show.

While the start of the season will remain the same as originally planned, dates for playoff games, including semifinals and championships, were being debated with the possibility of firstround games being played March 7-8 followed by second round action and quarterfinal play March 11-12 and March 14-15. The semifinals would then be played March 21-22 and the finals between March 27-29.

SAVOR EVERY SIP PHOTOS: ALEX BYERS/GO LAUREL HIGHLANDS

El Diablo Brewing Co. in Greensburg is another business that’s part of the Pour Tour in the Laurel Highlands. The business was voted 10 Best New Breweries in the United States by readers of USA Today this year.

Indulge in Laurel Highlands’ Pour Tour experience

By Stephanie Kalina-Metzger For The Almanac

newsroom@observer-reporter.com

After the success of last year’s craft beverage passport program, which is estimated to have given a $2 million boost to the local economy, GO Laurel Highlands has launched Pour Tour 4.0. The new version of the program will include 52 beverage makers, including breweries, distilleries, wineries, cideries and a meadery, which will take visitors through Fayette, Somerset and Westmoreland counties.

Ann Nemanic, GO Laurel Highlands executive director, is expecting the program to be a hit, explaining that the kickoff earlier this year started with 30,000 passports available to whomever wants to participate.

“It’s not just the fun of collecting stickers at each of the craft beverage locations and the prizes that can be won along the way, it’s also about savoring every sip of a new product and sharing those stories with other enthusiasts,” she said.

This is how the passport program works: With every qualified pur-

chase, participants will receive a sticker from the beverage maker for verification. Passports can then be redeemed for prizes.

The new tour is intended to showcase the region’s rich heritage, agricultural diversity and entrepreneurial spirit, according to Nemanic.

One distiller that visitors will meet along the way is Maximilian Merrill at Ponfeigh Distillery in Somerset.

His business opened in November of last year.

The Laurel Highlands Pour Tour offers visitors to the Laurel Highlands a way to sample local libations while winning prizes.

Merrill sells rye whisky, with ryeaged rum and gin in the works.

“I opened the shop because Somerset County is the birthplace of American rye,” he explained, adding that before prohibition the county had a whopping 14 distilleries. “My mission is to bring back that whiskey heritage.”

It’s been a long road for Merrill, a lobbyist-turned-distiller. After studying whisky for 25 years, he came up with a business plan 13 years ago. During the pandemic, Merrill said that he lost two bank loans, which forced him to secure yet another loan. The challenge didn’t end there. Because of supply chain issues, it took until last year before the project was complete.

“No one can call me a quitter,” he said.

Merrill is proud to be the largest distillery in Pennsylvania at this point, with a 16,000 square-foot production room, which, when at full capacity, can churn out about 3,500 barrels a year.

Coming soon is an event venue, with a capacity of 200 for wedding receptions and other parties.

“I think that the Pour Tour is a wonderful tourism initiative and

educational tool that gets people excited to travel in our rural areas and explore the county,” said Merrill, adding that a lot of people wouldn’t hear about Ponfeigh if not for the tour.

“We’re happy to be on it and can gauge how many visit us when they ask for the stickers. I’ve never seen anything move the needle like the Pour Tour does,” he said.

Rachel Flowers, owner and CEO at El Diablo Brewing Co. & Wood-Fired Kitchen in Greensburg, opened her establishment in October 2021 and in 2024 was voted among the top 10 Best New Breweries in the United States by readers of USA Today.

Her beautifully appointed dining room is described by USA Today as “sleek.” Among the menu items are burgers, salads, steaks, Nashville Hot Chicken, fire-roasted tacos, ramen and more. El Diablo features a rotating selection of 10 beer taps, with four of their own house brews.

Liquor flights of tequila, whisky and bourbon are also available, as is a selection of wine for those who prefer vino over other libations.

Flowers said that the Pour Tour

brings people who otherwise may not be aware of her business.

“We enjoy giving our guests a dining experience that is unique to Greensburg and it’s our hope that both local guests and those traveling to the area will stop in to see what we have to offer,” she said.

Interested parties can pick up a passport at any participating location, or they can download the new Laurel Highlands app.

“The app makes it easier for participants to digitally stamp their passport, provide a leaderboard for some friendly competition and showcase our craft beverage makers and partners in the Laurel Highlands, such as nearby hotels, restaurants and retail shops,” said Jennifer Benford, GO Laurel Highlands’ senior director of marketing.

Officials at Go Laurel Highlands hope to surpass last year’s numbers when more than 2,200 Pour Tour prizes were redeemed by participants from 10 states, including as far away as Florida, Colorado and Washington.
