Thanksgiving Gratitude Run to benefit PT family

By Jill Thurston Staff writer

jthurston@observer-reporter.com

Aaron Smith, 44, of Peters Township, told his wife before he passed away that cancer “brought more good to my life than bad,” his wife, Jessica, recalled. “When he said it, I shook my head and said I didn’t think I agreed.

But there was a lot of good that came from this,” she said.

From the tragedy experienced by the Smith family came a new opportunity to help others in need.

Smith, beloved husband and father of three children, died November 16, 2023, after a hard-fought battle with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and was the inspiration for The Gratitude Run, a 5k run held along the Montour Trail in Peters Township for the first time on Thanksgiving Day 2023 to benefit the Smith Family.

The effort raised close to $100,000, Jessica Smith said. It was so successful, race planner Chris Weiss, Smith’s neighbor, saw a way to help others in the community and

The Chartiers Valley School District (CVSD) School Board held a special meeting on Oct. 24 and voted 6-3 to appoint Dr. Daniel Castagna as its new superintendent, effective January 2025.

“We’re excited to welcome Dr. Castagna to the Chartiers Valley School District,” said Darren Mariano, board president. “The board believes Dr. Castagna’s vision and dedication will play a pivotal role in advancing our mission to provide a high-quality education relevant in today and tomorrow’s world while maintaining fiscal responsibility. His experience in turning around school districts and fostering educational innovation is exactly what we need to address our district’s challenges and opportunities.”

Most recently, Castagna served at Woodland Hills and demonstrated a commitment to fiscal responsibility, overseeing the district’s first tax reduction in 41 years, lowering the millage rate, and building a record fund balance. Despite financial pressures, Castagna maintained and expanded key academic programs, including advanced robotics, music, and Advanced Placement courses, while increasing student enrollment. His balanced approach to financial management and student success has earned him recognition across the state.

Run Upper St. Clair assistant principal Beck recognized

FROM PAGE A1

Dr. Dan Beck, assistant principal at Upper St. Clair High School, has been selected as the 2025 Robert E. Lavely Assistant Principal of the Year by the Pennsylvania Principals Association in conjunction with the National Association of Secondary School Principals’ (NASSP) National Assistant Principal of the Year program.

The state and national Assistant Principal of the Year program recognizes outstanding middle level and high school assistant principals who have demonstrated success in leadership, curriculum and personalization.

This marks the second time Beck has earned statewide recognition for his leadership and support of students. In 2020, he was named the Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils Principal of the Year.

Much of Beck’s leadership efforts are centered on establishing and nurturing a school community where students feel a sense of belonging. He supports various student programs that focus on well-being and safety, including the school’s student support services team, ninth-grade student mentoring, Student Council, and No Place for Hate. In addition, he contributes to academic programs, including the school’s Leadership Academy, Peer-Tutoring, SmartDesk, and the district’s curriculum recommendations.

He attributes this distinction to the Upper St. Clair education community.

“This recognition is a reflection of the dedication of outstanding colleagues, an active student body, engaged parents, and a

And the process generates millions of gallons of wastewater that is not usable for drinking or agriculture. When that water is not being used, or before it is hauled away for disposal, it is placed in impoundments that can take up several acres. Some of the wastewater is also deposited in injection wells, of which there are about 800 throughout the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and they are used not only to dispose of water used in fracking, but also for chemicals, food and municipal wastewater.

Both impoundments and injection wells have been a source of controversy and concern in the 20 years since natural gas drillers swooped into the region.

While proponents of the industry maintain that impoundments have become safer with time and trial and error,

supportive community,” Beck said.

Beyond Upper St. Clair High School, he engages with the local and national education community to apply research into practice to impact school policy. He is currently partnering with the University of Pittsburgh to improve support for neurodivergent students across the country with the Schools Unified in Neurodiversity (SUN) program and is a representative for Education Next, a group of educational stakeholders working to advance student success and policy in Pennsylvania public education.

Beck joined the Upper St. Clair High School leadership staff in 2013. Previously, he taught secondary English in the Greensburg Salem School District and the Berlin Brothers Valley School District. He earned his doctorate and undergraduate degrees from Duquesne University and a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh.

He is now in consideration to be named the National Assistant Principal of the Year.

Beck and his wife, Kelly, have two young children, Carter and Lyla. They live in Upper St. Clair. critics say that the impoundments risk the water supplies and health of residents who live near drilling sites. Injection wells, critics contend, can leak and even cause earthquakes.

A proposed injection well in Nicholson Township in Fayette County was scrapped last year following fervent opposition from nearby residents, and it prompted the county to tighten its regulations surrounding injection wells.

“Pennsylvania’s natural gas industry is proud of our strong environmental performance record, especially as it relates to effectively managing and protecting our water resources,” according to Dave Callahan, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition. “Through collaboration with stakeholders, especially state regulators and community-level partners, our industry continues to implement efficient and safe solutions to how we do our work.”

An industry trade group, the Marcellus Shale Coalition, says that 95% of the water used in the natural gas industry is recycled, and that operations in this region are now “benchmarks in other gas-producing regions across the country.”

created a nonprofit with the idea of making it an annual event.

The Gratitude Run (participants may also walk) is scheduled for this Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, at 9 a.m., starting at the softball fields in Peters Township behind Peterswood Park. The event will benefit the Serena family of Peters Township. Jeff Serena, husband, father and local business owner, is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

There is no charge to register for the run at https://www. thegratituderun.org/.

Weiss and his wife, Joy, proposed the idea of a run to benefit the family at a party held at Aaron Smith’s request just a couple of weeks before he died.

“When the doctors came to us early in November last year and told us there was nothing more they could do, and he would have a few months, Aaron turned to me and said, ‘Can we have a party?’ The open house was attended by hundreds. Weiss asked the Smiths at that time if he could organize a run with a GoFundMe to help with expenses.

“It just emphasizes how this community has been so amazing. Chris and Joy came to us and said, ‘We’d like to do this run, we’d like to set up this GoFundMe,’ and I was initially reluctant because I felt like everybody had already done so much for us. Chris said, ‘People want to help, and this is a way for them to help.’ So we agreed,” Jessica Smith said.

The first run was hastily pulled together by Weiss to help the Smith family, but

Aaron Smith would pass away a week before the run took place.

Weiss put a pamphlet together and spread the word.

He had no idea if there would be five people or a hundred participants. News of the run went viral pretty quickly, Weiss said, to the extent that the township called him to ask what he was planning.

“That morning was a really tough day; it was Thanksgiving, it was just a few days after the funeral. But, we had this run to go to. It was a beautiful cool, crisp morning, not a cloud in the sky, and we got up and we went, and I’m so glad we did,” Jessica Smith said. “We showed up and saw more than 300 people there, everyone walking up, hugging us. Instead of sitting home being sad, we had this amazing community just continuing to rally around us.”

In addition to his work as an attorney, Aaron Smith was involved in the community, coaching teams for his children, Wyatt, 14, Sadie, 12, and Josie, 10, and serving on the township planning commission, among other boards.

“He was always ready to lend a hand to a friend or neighbor and even help serve meals with the kids and me at the City Mission during Thanksgiving while he was going through chemotherapy. No matter how much pain he was in, he would have a smile on his face and say he was good.

This Gratitude Run and giving back to others couldn’t be more aligned with who he was at his core.”

Jessica Smith said the funds will go toward her children’s education. “It’s just a huge burden lifted off of me because I’m now the primary breadwinner,” she said.

Following the 2023 run, Weiss formed a 501c3 and put together an all-volunteer board of directors, with Jessica Smith serving as marketing director and secretary. Their plan is to continue helping a family in the community each Thanksgiving.

“We are keeping it in Peters Township now with the hope that someone else will replicate it in other communities in order to help as many people as we can,” Weiss said.

“One thing I’ve learned through this is everyone is going through something; we all have some burden we are carrying through life, and if we can just help each other and let people know you’re not alone, there’s this community around you and what better day to than Thanksgiving to kick off that season of giving and maybe burn a few calories before we start eating a lot,” Jessica Smith said.

“Fiscally responsible leadership isn’t just about balancing budgets – it’s about making tough decisions that allow us to invest in our students’

futures while providing real relief to our communities,” Castagna said.

As part of his mandate, he will lead efforts to update the district’s curriculum to prepare students for the demands of the AI-driven economy. From expanding STEM programs to integrat-

ing AI and data literacy into the classroom, his leadership will ensure that Chartiers Valley’s students are ready to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

Castagna’s five-year contract includes a base salary of $250,000.

Castagna’s career in edu-

cation began as a classroom teacher before ascending to leadership roles, including his tenure as superintendent of West Mifflin Area School District and, most recently, Woodland Hills.

Dr. Joseph Dimperio is serving as interim superintendent.

However, the potential dangers of impoundments were highlighted a decade ago when Range Resources, the energy company that has adopted the highest profile in the region, was fined a record $4.1 million by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for leaks and other problems that had surfaced at six of its Washington County impoundments.

The agreement reached between Range Resources and the DEP also mandated that the company close five of its impoundments and make improvements to two others.

The DEP found that a leak at an impoundment in Amwell Township caused by a tear in its liner contaminated groundwater and led to the removal of 15,000 tons of soil.

Another impoundment, located in Hopewell Township, developed a hole, according to the DEP, which led to diluted fluid used in fracking leaking into a tributary of Cross Creek.

Christopher Abruzzo, who was then secretary of the DEP, said that the fine levied against Range Resources established “a new, higher benchmark for companies to meet when designing future impoundments, which is an

environmental win for Pennsylvania.” Matt Pitzarella, then a spokesman for Range Resources, expressed disappointment that the violations occurred, but that “newly established best practices and technologies” would be implemented.

Range Resources has declined to provide comment for this series.

Dave Hess was secretary of the DEP from 2001 to 2003 in the administrations of Tom Ridge and Mark Schweicker. He left the post before the Marcellus Shale boom began, and now writes about it in his blog, PA Environment Digest.

Hess believes that some of the problems with water impoundments were the result of drillers working on different terrain than the Texas landscape where they had been fracking before they arrived in Pennsylvania.

He also agrees that impoundments have become safer over the last two decades. “Initially there were a lot of problems,” he said. A more pressing issue today, in Hess’ estimation, are the pipelines that are being constructed to carry wastewater that could be subject to leaks or other problems.

“The fact that there are no regulations on the pipelines is a real issue,” Hess said. “I think it deserves close scrutiny. … There are no standards for how they are constructed or routed.”

Lisa DePaoli, the communications director for the Center for Coalfield Justice, says that the impoundments may have improved through better construction, but “anything that is open to the air like this poses a danger.”

Some of the water from those impoundments can be disposed of by placing it in an injection well. The first injection well was used by the oil industry in the 1930s to get rid of brine. No injection wells are in Washington, Greene or Fayette counties. The closest one is in the Allegheny County community of Plum, and there are 19 in Pennsylvania, according to 2023 data from the EPA. In neighboring Ohio, there are more than 200. In 2022, an application for an injection well was submitted to Fayette County officials, who handle zoning for Nicholson Township, where the injection well would have been located.

After residents expressed vehement opposition to the proposed injection well, the

application from Virginia-based G2 STEM LLC was withdrawn. Earlier this year, Fayette County’s commissioners approved an ordinance that, among other things, has a setback distance of 2,500 feet, or a little less than a half-mile, for injection wells.

State Rep. Charity Grimm Krupa, a Republican who represents the area in Harrisburg, co-sponsored a measure that would prohibit injection wells in Pennsylvania.

She said the material in the wastewater “would present possible health risks if they are allowed to mix with our drinking water.” Grimm Krupa said the wells were not an “acceptable risk … considering the severe consequences that may result if an accidental spill or leaking incident occurs.”

In a fact sheet the group has provided, the Marcellus Shale Coalition states that “strict well-monitoring protocols are required by the EPA for operating these wells.” They also say, “Injection wells are an economical method of disposal for wastewater resulting from oil and gas production and have proven to be a safe alternative for managing drilling and production wastes for decades.”

USC native receives award for first novel Our Young Artist brought to you by

By Jill Thurston Staff writer

jthurston@observer-reporter.com

Longtime Upper St. Clair resident and photographer Kathy Kasunich received a bronze medal in September from the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) for her novel, “Always Remembering,” published in 2022.

Her first novel, an historical fiction romance, is based on a real-life couple, her parents, Mike, a medic, and Helen, during World War II. Now a resident of Williamsburg, Va., Kasunich began the novel before moving to Williamsburg in 2017 and completed it during the pandemic.

“The idea came to me after my parents passed away. My dad had a bunch of memorabilia and so did my mother.

I feel like it was just sort of thrown into my lap and I had to go with it,” Kasunich said.

“I realized I needed more information as far as the battles and what was going on in Europe with his division. I did a lot of research and some interviews. I actually found some people who were still alive who were in his division, so I talked to them. I really wanted it to be authentic, as if you were in the war with him,” Kasunich said.

Her book follows the journey of her father’s division, the 42nd Rainbow Division. The MWSA said in a press release: “‘Always Remembering’ offers a meticulous and engaging account of one of World War II’s most distinguished divisions, known for being the first unit to liberate Dachau Concentration Camp.”

Unedited letters from her father to her mother are included in the book. Drawing from the letters written, diaries and stories told by her mother, Kasunich also explores the challenges of navigating a long distance relationship during the uncertainties of war.

Letters were their only means of communication.

“It was a rocky start. They couldn’t talk to each other,” Kasunich explained. She takes the title of the book from how

her father signed his letters, “Always remembering, never forgetting, loving you forever.”

Her father served in France, Germany and with the army of occupation in Austria and was abroad for three-and-half years. The two married when he returned.

Kasunich recently published an anthology of short stories, “Christmas on the Bay,” available on Amazon and she is working on her next historical fiction novel, set in Williamsburg during the 18th century.

My Problem is Your Opportunity!

You could be one of the few to buy a furnace at 20% savings!

I have run into a problem I am not used to. October is normally our boom time for replacing residential furnaces. BUT the warmer temperatures have killed our replacement business.

Well, now it looks like my problem is your opportunity.

Last week I went to lunch with one of the furnace manufacturers. He is also laced with the same problem. I told him, “I have hired technicians for the Winter rush and I have got to keep them busy!” I told him that I agree to offer a big discount to my customers if he will help me out. He called his office and they agreed to give me an unbelievable price cut.

But their price cut ends once I make up for the furnaces I normally would have purchased in October.

So Here is My Offer: I am offering you the biggest discount I have ever offered. I hope I do not ever have to do this again.

You can save 20% off the average price for one of our energy efficient furnaces.

With this price it shouldn’t take any time to make up for the sales I have lost. At that time this offer will end.

So do not delay.

Call JED Heating and Cooling, lnc. @ 724-379-9220 or 412-384-2844. I will send Rick to your home for your FREE Estimate!

Bethel Park School District earns statewide distinction

categories. Districts that provide students with academically rigorous programming must confirm that 100% of their teachers are certified and that students have access to career and technical education, gifted education, advanced placement or international baccalaureate

courses, and JROTC programming.

To demonstrate a district’s position as the community’s centerpiece, it must exemplify innovation in school programming, regularly celebrate students’ and staff’s successes, and provide academic and extracurricular offerings for students.

The final criteria – resilience and fiscal health – measure a district’s planning efforts that lead to successful academic programming. To meet the resilience criteria, a district must implement an emergency preparedness plan and provide mental health support to students.

A district meets the financially healthy criteria by having an elected or independent auditor conduct a financial audit annually, making the final district budget available for public review before adoption, and following school code requirements for bids and quotations when purchasing goods and services.

Bethel Park School District was recently designated as a Great Pennsylvania School.

The Great Pennsylvania Schools (GPS) designation recognizes state public schools that provide students access to rigorous programming, are community-centric, demonstrate financial well-being, and display resilience.

“This prestigious distinction further confirms that we are on the right track as a school community,” said Superintendent Dr. James Walsh.

“Four years ago, we set out to be the ‘best in our class,’ and this demonstrates that we are well on our way in that journey. It’s a testament to our staff, who are always seeking better ways to educate our students and support their families. It’s further affirmation that our efforts are indeed paying dividends.”

To receive the recognition, districts had to meet the criteria established in the four

Fittingly Mia Deramo gave Abbey Spalla a piggyback ride off the field at Highmark Stadium because she carried South Fayette to victory, 4-0, against Fox Chapel in the WPIAL Class 3A girls soccer championship match.

A junior midfielder, Deramo scored twice in the contest. She tallied her first goal in the 12th minute. After Gabby Beinecke’s shot on goal was bobbled in the box, Deramo deposited the ball into the back of the net, providing the Lady Lions the only goal they would need to repeat as WPIAL champions.

“Getting that (first goal) was amazing,” Deramo said. “We just kept on pushing and finding the crosses. It was a great team effort and I am so proud of everyone. We knew we had to score and we did.”

Deramo scored again in the 63rd minute. She converted a penalty kick to finalize the scoring for the Lady Lions.

“Mia eats this stuff up,” said SF head coach Nick Rosser. “She loves playing on this level. She is like all of my girls. They love to compete and they embrace playing on this level.

“They like to have pressure on them. They handle it well,” he added.

South Fayette (19-3) entered the contest as the defending Class 3A champion. The Lady Lions used an overtime goal by Deramo to topple Moon in double overtime in last year’s final.

Fox Chapel defeated North Allegheny, 1-0, also in double overtime to capture the 2023 Class 4A crown. The Foxes (18-3-1) entered the Class 3A tournament seeded No. 1 ahead of the Lions, who were seeded second.

The Lions beat Kiski, 4-0, Bethel Park, 3-2, in double overtime, and No. 6 Mars, in a shootout, 4-2, to advance to the championship match played on Nov. 2 while the Foxes eliminated Indiana, 8-0, Montour, 7-1, in overtime and Plum, 3-0.

Indians fall in PIAA tourney

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

As a team, the Lady Lions won the Section III crown with an undefeated 10-0 record. They also added their second district title in school history with the win against the Foxes.

“It’s great to win back-to-back,” Deramo said.

“It’s amazing,” added Rosser. “We have worked so hard for this. The girls put the effort out there all the time. They play all out every day.”

The Lady Lions now have their sights set on the big prize. They embarked on state tournament action at home against Dubois (17-3) in

After experiencing the thrill of victory, Peters Township suffered the agony of defeat as its championship soccer season came to an abrupt ending.

In the same fashion that the Lady Indians captured their third WPIAL title for girls soccer – beating Seneca Valley in a shootout on Nov. 1 – they lost to Central Dauphin (17-2-1) on penalty kicks in a first-round PIAA match played Nov. 5 at Confluence Financial Partners Stadium on the Peters Township Middle School campus.

“Once it goes to penalty kicks, it can go either way, and the emotions of the last 72 hours are crazy to win one shootout and lose another,” said Peters Township skipper Pat Vereb.

The Lady Indians were coming off the high of defeating Seneca Valley when Cailin Martin converted the decisive penalty kick in the WPIAL Class 4A championship match played at Highmark Stadium when they succumbed, 4-2, in a shootout to Central Dauphin to finish their 2024 campaign with a 19-1-1 record.

An excited Mia Deramo gives Abbey Spalla a lift while Fox Chapel players in the background anguish over their loss to South Fayette, 4-0, in the WPIAL Class 3A championship soccer match.

“The girls are always prepared for good competition and they knew they had good competition,” Rosser said. “They like to compete and they like to have some kind of pressure on them.”

Beinecke alleviated the pressure when she scored at 30:52, providing a two-goal cushion for the Lady Lions at intermission.

Both Deramo and Rosser had high praise for the freshman striker.

“Gabby is incredible,” Deramo said. “The future is bright for her.

It’s an honor to play with her. I hope she can keep pushing.”

“Gabby is wicked,” added Rosser.

“She’s the full package. There’s a lot

that she can do. She’s awesome to watch on the field. She’s very fast, loves the game and has a drive to score.”

Emma Ferrari, who assisted on Beinecke’s tally, pushed South Fayette’s advantage to three goals when she scored at 52:43.

Caitlyn Thompson earned the shutout in goal. She made six saves as Fox Chapel outshot the Lady Lions, 12-4.

“Our backline, they’re incredible, pushing up, and our goalkeeper is good at communication,” Deramo said. “(Caitlyn) talks to the backline and tells them where to go, and I think that really helped us move together and work as a team.”

Peters Township wins WPIAL field hockey title

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Peters Township blanked Fox Chapel, 3-0, and captured its third WPIAL title in field hockey.

The Lady Indians won Class 3A titles in 2009 and 2018 before dropping down to Class 2A this fall when the PIAA realigned and the WPIAL was divided into three classifications.

During the championship match played Nov. 2 at Washington & Jefferson’s Cameron Stadium, Serafina Forlini, Anna Kokoszynski and Bella Updyke scored the goals.

Forlini scored first, providing the Lady Indians a 1-0 advantage at halftime. The senior forward was in the right spot as she followed up a shot

by Kokoszyznski and cashed in on the rebound.

Kokoszynski and Updyke provided the insurance tallies in the second half.

Two minutes into the third quarter, Updyke tipped in a Forlini attempt. With four minutes remaining in the

stanza, Kokoszyznski corralled a loose ball off a penalty corner and found the back of the net.

The triumph avenged a late-season loss to the Foxes (10-7-0) during the regular

season. Peters Township won the Section 2 title with an 11-1 record.

The Indians reached the finals by blanking No. 4 Greater Latrobe, 8-0, while Fox Chapel toppled No. 3 Penn-Traf-

Peters Township’s season appeared to be ending earlier than the shootout round as the Lady Indians fell behind, 2-0, when Kayden Williams scored twice at the 33:26 and 29:28 marks in the second half.

With 27:36 remaining in regulation, Julia Spergel narrowed the gap with PT’s initial tally. Spergel added the equalizer with 7:37 left in the second half.

Though the Indians dominated the remainder of regulation – they put 17 shots on goal and had 10 corner kicks in the match – they could not produce a game-winning goal.

After two, 15-minute overtime frames, the match remained deadlocked and headed into the penalty-kick phase.

After their first attempt hit the crossbar, the Rams converted on shots by Lea Carmona, Erika Murphy, Jazmine Zakhar and Katherine Reynolds.

Marina Hajnosz and Camryn Klein scored for the Lady Indians during the shootout.

said. “We dominated the last 20 minutes of the second half, and we dominated both overtimes with numerous corner kicks and throw-ins, but we didn’t finish, and finish out the game the right way.”

Central Dauphin goalkeeper Mikayla Martincheck made 15 saves while Molly Kubistek stopped three shots for the Lady Indians.

“That’s a fantastic team over there,” said Central Dauphin coach Chris Jones. “I hate to say it, but we were in the same position as them last year. We didn’t lose a single game, then you get in the state playoffs and end up losing.”

Peters Township scored all five of its penalty kicks and edged Seneca Valley, 5-4, in that department to claim the district crown. The Indians won previous titles in 2010 and 2012.

While Martin took the final, and decisive kick, Paige Malley, Hajnosz, Klein and Fallan Malley also converted in the shootout.

Shootout and overtimes have been a playoff pattern for the Lady Indians. In fact, Peters Township lost to Seneca Valley, 2-1, in overtime during the 2018 WPIAl final.

“I think we’ve lost our last four shootouts, so it’s been a very nerve-wracking week preparing,” Vereb said. “We were 5-for-5 (in the final), so we did well., but we were awful,” he noted in a semifinal

win against North Allegheny.

Peters Township dominated the action during the WPIAL championship match.

They put 17 shots on goal and had five corner kicks, four of them in the overtime periods.

Kubistek faced 10 shots and was credited with four saves.

“It was one heck of a game, and definitely a team effort,” Kubistek said. “I am so glad these seniors can go out with a WPIAL championship.”

Peters Township graduates nine seniors including: Klein, Sophia Guna, Ellie Gambill, Elliana Hajnosz, Kess Wolfe, Addison Pirosko, Anna McAfee, Natalie Faingnaert and Paige Malley.

It was a split decision for two local football teams during the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.

While Bethel Park (9-2) advanced to face Woodlands Hills in the quarterfinals after thumping Greater Latrobe (5-6), 42-7, in the Class 5A opener played Nov. 1, South Fayette dropped a 4928 decision to Penn-Trafford and wrapped up its 2024 campaign at 6-5 overall.

In the loss, Drew Welhorsky continued to dominate with his passing and elusive rushing.

The junior rolled up 128 yards on the ground and 186 yards through the air. He completed 19 of 26 aerials and two scoring strikes of 13 and 36 yards to Ben Cavanaugh and Sylas Aitken.

Welhorsky rushed for touchdowns of 26 and 10 yards.

Aitken led the Lions with six receptions for 74 yards.

Cavenaugh and Ray Schuler each caught four passes.

Luke Gillen converted the extra points.

‘A bookshop with a mission’ Woolly Bear Books and Gifts marries nature, love for literature, and all things local

By Katherine Mansfield For the Observer-Reporter newsroom@observer-reporter.com

CARNEGIE – It’s a Wednesday in mid-October, and mid-morning light spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Woolly Bear Books and Gifts, drenching some titles in sunshine, casting others in shadow. Wooden shelves set against bold orange and white walls are heavy with books that return one to a childhood bedroom or first apartment; covers that welcome a gentle caress, or inspire wonder.

Gifts by local artisans are scattered amongst the titles.

There are jars of warm honey from local Bumble Berry farm; loose leaf tea in flavors like “poet’s study;” bookish bookends; Taylor Swift and cat knick-knacks; Dungeons and Dragons die ornaments, hand-glazed by a local artist, and other novelties.

“I want this place to be crammed full of product,” said Michael Ploetz, who opened Woolly Bear in downtown Carnegie on Halloween.

“I don’t have a lot of space to begin with, but I just think it’s cool to walk around and, like, everywhere you turn, there’s just something weird and unique to look at. That’s kind of the vibe I’m bringing here.”

Woolly Bear is certainly a vibe. The space is cozy-chic and inviting, its New York City publishing world meets Pittsburgh, with a dash of your whimsical best friend’s style and pure imagination. Not only is Carngie’s first bookstore in decades a vibe, it’s also a dream-come-true.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time,” said Ploetz, who was born and raised just outside of Buffalo, N.Y. “When I was deciding where to go to college, I wanted to pick a place that wasn’t too close to my parents’.

I was looking at Pittsburgh, and we went to go visit Pitt, and I just loved the whole campus, the fact that it was in the city, but kind of outside of the city.”

During his college years, he worked at an established bookstore in Shadyside, where the creaking floorboards, the scent of new books, and the novelty items

KATHERINE MANSFIELD/FOR THE OBSERVER-REPORTER

Michael Ploetz grew up in Buffalo, graduated from he University of Pittsburgh, and spent six years in New York City before returning to the City of Champions to open Woolly Bear Books and Gifts at 117 E.t Main St., Carnegie. Ploetz looks forward to connecting avid readers with beloved and brand-new titles, and other local novelties.

enchanted him. After four years living in Pittsburgh, he was off to the Big Apple.

“My degree was in marketing, but I always kind of thought of myself as a book person, first and foremost. If you’re a book person, publishing is the dream. So I wanted to do it, and I went out there and got a job in publishing,” he said.

Life in the city that never sleeps was wonderful, but when New York shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ploetz’s tiny apartment became confining, and his only outlet was New York’s parks. During the pandemic, he started indoor gardening – and decided to make the leap and move back to Pittsburgh, where the cost of living was much more affordable.

Though he continued working remotely in publishing, Ploetz’s desire to open a bookstore grew. In August, Ploetz mentioned to Dagny Como, who owns Dagny’s eatery in Carnegie, that he was looking for real estate. She told him the corner space at the property across the street was recently listed for lease. Ploetz hurried over, called the number listed, and, like a chapter already written, secured the space for his literary venture.

The shop’s name, Woolly Bear, is a nod to Ploetz’s passion for nature (he graduated from Phipp’s Conservatory’s master gardener program Oct. 31), and a fun play on words: the creature is often nicknamed the “woolly worm,” and, as a mas-

cot, is a tribute to bookworms entering the bookshop.

“Some insects, like Monarch butterflies, everyone is so, so familiar with, but there’s a ton of different insects and plants that are native to the area, that people know a little less about,” Ploetz said. “Everyone in the area is kind of familiar with woolly bear caterpillars, but they don’t know that much about them. When I was a kid, I used to think these caterpillars were super fun. They’re so weird-looking and they’re fuzzy and they kind of look a little scary, but they’re actually completely harmless. Kids can pick them up and examine them.”

When touched, the woolly bear caterpillar curls into a furry little ball. Legend has it the wider the band of rusty orange between the caterpillar’s black tips, the milder coming winter will be. That legend was cemented in the collective conscience in 1948, when Dr. C.H. Curran, curator of insects at the American Museum of Natural History, predicted the coming winter’s weather by collecting many woolly bear caterpillars and examining their rust bands, and published his forecast through a friend at The New York Herald Tribune.

“I wanted (a name) that kind of builds that association between books and plants.

I want to have a lot of books about gardening, about the natural world, for readers of all ages, but especially for kids, because I think it’s important

to get interested in that from a young age,” Ploetz said.

Behind a honeycomb glass wall and to the right, Woolly Bear Book visitors will find the store’s adult section, which includes a wall brimming with books like Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” Nick Pyenson’s Spying On Whales” and Bill Gates’ “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.” He also has copies of Douglas W. Tallamy’s book, “Nature’s Best Hope,” which the bookstore owner recommends.

The nature section grows alongside shelves filled with sci-fi celebrity Brandon Sanderson’s tomes, Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” and other science-fiction and fantasy titles.

As a lifelong reader (sparked, like many Millenials, by the Harry Potter series), Ploetz appreciates the importance of early reading, and has an entire section devoted to babies and kids, middle-grade, and young adult titles. Among them: several Dr. Seuss and Bluey books; “Matilda,” and other books by Roald Dahl; the Percy Jackson series; and everything by Sarah J. Maas.

In the age of Amazon and online book-sellers, at a time when articles caution people are reading less than ever, why open a brick-and-mortar bookstore?

“I don’t know where the reading-is-dead-thing comes from,” Ploetz said. “Having worked in publishing, I can definitely tell you that people are reading more now than ever. We’re definitely selling books at a greater

“There is a huge, passionate base for independent bookstores,” said Michael Ploetz, owner of Woolly Bear Books and Gifts in Carnegie. “One thing that indie bookstores do that Amazon can’t is operate as a showroom. You can come here and browse, and you could find things you never would have found on Amazon.” Things including “poet’s study” flavored tea and yinzer mugs, pictured here.

rate than ever before. And that’s not just eBooks, it’s also physical books. People are buying new books. During COVID, there was a huge increase in reading. I know some industries suffered, but publishing was doing super well.”

Printed books will always need a show floor, which is how Ploetz referred to his space, a place where people can walk in, touch titles, discover books the algorithm wouldn’t recommend, and ask for help finding their next read from a reader himself.

“I will always go straight to the bookstore if I’m ever visiting a new city. I think it gives you a different side of the city. So my hope, too, is that people visiting Carnegie will stop down here, grab a coffee, grab a sandwich, just come over and look around.

I’ll be carrying some local products to try to show off some of the people who are making food and art in the area,” Ploetz said.

He envisions Woolly Bear working with the Andrew Carne-

gie Free Library just up the hill to host local author book readings and signings, collaborating with local businesses like Apis Meadery and Carnegie Coffee Company to host book club gatherings, educating the public about the parking lot’s eco-friendly rain garden, and supporting the other shops along Main Street. Ploetz also looks forward to working with his guests to curate the shop’s selection, tailoring it to the tastes of Carnegie residents and visitors.

“This isn’t just another bookshop,” Ploetz said. “This is a bookshop with a mission, and there’s somebody behind the counter who really wants to get people interested in these particular topics and hopes to spread it by selling books.”

Woolly Bear Books is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Shop online 24/7 at woollybearbooks. com, and connect with the indie bookstore on Instagram @ woollybearbooks.

Unfailing Prayer to Saint Anthony

O holy St. Anthony, gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for His Creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers.

Miracles on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by his thought I implore of you to obtain for me.

O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of The Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.

Amen.
