Best friends since age 4, Lauren Abruzzi and Austin Dami have shared many experiences but they never attended Bethel’s Bounty before this year.

The primary fundraiser for the Bethel Park Community Foundation (BPCF), held Nov. 10 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, however, will be long remembered by the Canonsburg couple.

Abruzzi and Dami won two airline tickets to Florida as well as a night’s stay at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh during the gift basket raffles. They plan to vacation in Key West.

“I am still shaking,” said Dami after being handed his prize package.

“We’re livin’ large,” added Abruzzi.

Abruzzi and Dami, who grew up in the Lawrence and Hendersonville sections of Cecil Township, said they “loved” the event.

They added it was “so exciting” to be part of the festivities.

Filling hearts and bellies Local diner gives back to community with free meals Thanksgiving Day

By Jill Thurston Staff writer

Bethel Park diner owners Erica and Steve Diethorn will again provide free Thanksgiving Day meals for those who would otherwise be alone for the holiday or

who may have a financial hardship.

Ma and Pop’s Country Kitchen will open its doors from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 28. Seating can be reserved by calling the diner. Take-out and delivery are also available.

This is the sixth year the

diner has provided the free holiday meal.

“We are very blessed by having people in our community that support the cause,” said Erica Diethorn.

Vendors support the effort as well. “It’s grown to SEE DINER PAGE A2

Renz No. 1 was enshrouded in doubt 20 years ago, when Range Resources was attempting to unleash natural gas from the well through hydraulic fracturing. Workers had drilled the site in Mount Pleasant Township in the 1940s with little success. Range fracked it in 2003 and got small, but increasing showings of gas over several days before that flow abruptly halted.

Renz was 0 for 2. Yet Range officials persevered, urged by company geologist Bill Zagorski to try again. The Southpointe-based firm returned to Mount Pleasant about a year later, in October 2004, enabling Renz to raise its batting average to .333.

Workers extracted an estimated 300,000 cubic feet of natural gas that first day, the largest fracking endeavor executed east of the Mississippi River at that time.

Pumps are a key element of fracking sites such as the RHL71 pad operated in 2019 by CNX Corp. in Richhill Township, Greene County.

And – boom – the Marcellus Shale Revolution began. And it continues to boom across the United States and globally, providing an abundant, economical energy source that wasn’t as readily available a quarter-century ago.

“I think we’ve made natural gas one of the most important industries in America,” said Toby Rice, president and CEO of EQT Corp. “You can make an argument that natural gas has become the nation’s most important industry over the past 20 years. Natural gas has

transformed us from being energy dependent to being an energy powerhouse.

“We have more energy output (from oil and gas) than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. The benefits can be seen, along with the penalties other regions of the world are paying for staying energy dependent. Look at Europe and see what this resource can save America from.”

PT council approves EMS study

By Jon Andreassi Staff writer

jandreassi@observer-reporter.com

Peters Township council approved a $42,500 study on how to best continue to provide emergency medical services.

Council voted unanimously at its meeting Monday to award the contract to Missouri-based Fitch and Associates. Township manager Paul Lauer said the firm is working with Pine Township in Allegheny County on a similar endeavor.

“Pine is just starting that process, but having talked to the manager, he has been very pleased and impressed with the service that Fitch has been able to provide,” Lauer said.

Peters Township Ambulance Service is the current EMS provider. Fitch and Associates is tasked with evaluating the service and recommending improvements. According to the request for proposals, the study will also consider other solutions such as using an outside agency or one owned by the township.

Also at Monday’s meeting, council approved a local share account (LSA) grant application for the replacement of synthetic turf at Peterswood Park soccer fields. According to Lauer, the project could cost as much as $1 million.

Council is slated to meet next at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 25, when a public hearing will be held on the preliminary 2025 budget. The $18.3 million budget, which does not include a tax increase, is available to view on the township website.

Officials are slated to adopt the budget on Dec. 16.

Gas FROM PAGE A1 the world, stretching 31,000 square miles from southern New York state to northern Kentucky, and west from the Catskills to Ohio. Much of it is in Pennsylvania, which has become a haven for gas exploration and production companies.

An estimated 75% of natural gas extracted across the state either is transported via pipeline to other states, or sent to other nations as liquefied natural gas.

The southwestern corner of the commonwealth – especially Washington, Greene and Fayette counties – is a popular destination for natural gas operators. About 15% of natural gas that is produced in Pennsylvania comes from Washington County.

Rice and his company are bullish on the industry, to be sure. EQT, headquartered in downtown Pittsburgh, is the largest natural gas producer in North America. The company gained that stature after acquiring Southpointe-based Rice Energy in 2017, nearly a decade after he and his broth-

The BPCF was delighted to add Bonefish Grill to the edible line-up this year. The establishment offered samplings of its roasted shrimp taco with mango salsa alongside a shrimp and scallop item with a lime wedge and cilantro sprig.

Sara Impellicceire works at the restaurant. The Bethel Park High School student was using Bonefish Grill for her DECA project.

“She chose this event specifically,” said Schellbe Muszynski, who manages the Bonefish Grill, located near South Hills Village. “We were happy to come out and be part of the community, show our face and support Sara as well.

“I am thrilled to be here and excited to meet all these people and be out in the community. I cannot even wait until next year (to do this again).”

BPCF vice president and event host Andy Amrhein echoed Musynski’s enthusi-

ers, Daniel III and Derek, had launched that firm.

But Toby Rice is far from alone among oil and gas officials, who envision more prosperity for their industry and for consumers.

“I think the industry has a very strong future,” said Dave Callahan, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, which works with exploration and production companies, midstream and supply chain partners in the Appalachian Basin and elsewhere across the nation.

“The Marcellus and Utica Shale (formations) are among the biggest, if not the biggest, gas fields, which provide an Incredibly abundant clean energy resource that provides consumer savings and jobs while the industry is lowering emissions.

Roughly 59% of electrical power comes from natural gas.”

Natural gas is considered to be clean burning compared with other fossil fuels, but is subject to emissions at a time climate concerns are paramount. These emissions, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, “primarily refer to the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which can occur during the extraction, trans-

asm.

“Bonefish Grill is a nice addition,” he said. “They are excited to be here. They bought a full marketing team and they are very happy.”

Tatalias was equally enthused. “I am really excited about Bonefish,” she said.

“That’s a good addition, especially since we are right across the street from their location. It’s a good way to get new business to come into the area.”

Tatalias also noted that she tried to make things “a little more efficient” in her second year as chairperson for the evening.

portation and distribution of natural gas.”

“Significant” leaks, EIA said, may occur “at various points in the supply chain, impacting its environmental footprint despite emitting less carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels when burned.”

Two sustainable energies – solar and wind – recently bypassed natural gas in usage on the U.S. energy grid and are gaining momentum with consumers.

The oil and gas industry maintains it is striving to cut emissions, and funding is being devoted to do so. In July, Pennsylvania received $396 million in federal funds to assist firms in reducing carbon emissions.

And on Monday, Canadian officials announced that gas producers must reduce greenhouse emissions by about 33% over the next eight years.

“The Appalachian Basin is the cleanest basin in the United States, and one of cleanest in the world,” Callahan said.

“Air pollution emissions and CO2 emissions have dropped dramatically.”

Now that it is more easily sourced, natural gas is a seemingly inexhaustible energy source. Following the successful drilling of Renz

Among the other big prize winners were: Mike Dobos, who took home the grand prize of a 70-inch television; Lynn Dunbar, who was the recipient of diamond earrings donated by South Hills Jewelers; and Ken Benvenuti, who took home more than $1,000 from the 50/50 raffle.

Whether the raffles or the food, Ruth Brinegar and Brad Benjamin enjoyed the camaraderie the event provided. Brinegar, who resides in South Strabane, worked for the Bethel Park School

District while Benjamin hails from Wheeling. They attended the event with friends from the municipality.

“We love everything about Bethel’s Bounty,” Brinegar said. “We enjoy the food and the raffles as well as reconnecting with people from Bethel Park. Plus, it’s for a good cause.”

Proceeds from Bethel’s Bounty benefit BPCF endeavors. The nonprofit organization embraces a philosophy of local philanthropy. The group provides grants and fund-

Well, Terry Engelder, a geologist and professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University, estimated that 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas could be recovered from the Marcellus. That amount, he said, was the equivalent to what the entire country used in about 2 1/2 years then.

He later revised that estimate upward to 489 trillion cubic feet, or enough for 20 years in the U.S. “We have a massive amount of energy,” Rice said. “Over 30 million barrels of oil equivalent a day are being produced in the United States. About 60% is natural gas, the rest is oil. The question is, will this amount of energy be enough? Look at the world. We have rampant inflation, civil unrest and global emissions are skyrocketing. We need to do more.”

Rice and Callahan are not enamored of the pause the Biden-Harris administration imposed on reviewing permits for liquified natural gas (LNG) exports.

“Unfortunately, we’ve been in the midst of a permit freeze since Jan. 24 by the Biden administration,” Callahan said.

“Our allies and trading partners rely on clean, reliable natural gas.”

Rice said: “We’re now dealing with an LNG export stoppage, which makes it difficult to do our jobs. We need to elect leaders that want reliable, clean energy.”

A court case overturned the LNG pause during the summer, but no new LNG projects have been announced. The U.S., through previous project approvals, remains the world’s top LNG exporter.

Not everyone is a natural gas fan. The industry more recently has been facing challenges from property owners seeking lengthier setbacks between homes and buildings and gas operations, related to potential health concerns.

More than a decade ago, when fracking gained momentum in this region, local residents lamented the heavy truck traffic on their roadways, noise pollution and dust. Starting in 2012, local governments have been financially reimbursed for damages through the Act 13 impact fee, which many municipal officials have touted for enabling them to pay for infrastructure and other town projects.

Natural gas isn’t perfect, but it is plentiful, cost-effective and available.

ing for local community and school groups as well as other area initiatives.

“The foundation has been around for 27 years and we started Bethel’s Bounty maybe two years after that,” Amrhein said.

“In a couple of ways this year’s is the biggest and best.

The event sold out in two weeks. We fill this place and there are more baskets than we have ever had before. Nicer baskets. Great restaurants,” he emphasized. “Everybody is very, very happy.”

Diner FROM PAGE A1 the point that honestly people are charitable enough that it covers the cost pretty much for the food,” Diethorn said.

The Diethorns begin on Monday the week of Thanksgiving to prepare for the holiday. Turkey meal boxes include a turkey meal with white meat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and corn, and a ham meal with sweet potato casserole, green beans, a roll, butter and coleslaw. Many of the desserts are donated.

Volunteers are scheduled in two-hour shifts, and between 45 and 50 volunteers are needed for the day. Delivery drivers and afternoon volunteers are still needed.

Interested volunteers can call the diner.

As in past years, some entertainment will be provided.

Meals should be reserved by Friday, Nov. 22, by calling the diner, 412595-8451. Ma and Pop’s Country kitchen is located at 2840 South Park Road.

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.

Author, New Yorker staffer discusses his work, career at Peters library event

By Brad Hundt Staff writer

bhundt@observer-reporter.com

When Patrick Radden Keefe was in high school in the early 1990s, he had a singular ambition – to write for The New Yorker.

When he revealed to an English teacher that he wanted to join the staff of what could very well be America’s most prestigious magazine, it was met with a little bit of skepticism. After all, the pantheon of writers that have been published in The New Yorker include the likes of Robert Caro, Woody Allen, Lillian Ross and Pauline Kael.

COURTESY OF PHILLIP MONTGOMERY

The author Patrick Radden Keefe talked about his work at Peters Township High School last week.

Keefe persevered, though.

And the 48-year-old native of an Irish-American neighborhood

in Boston is now one of The New Yorker’s marquee storytellers.

“I figured out what I wanted to do with my life in a high school library,” Keefe explained Thursday night at Peters Township High School.

“It took a long time to turn that into reality.”

Keefe was at the high school for the Peters Township Library Foundation’s annual Novel November event. Past guests have included fiction writers like Victoria “V.E.” Schwab and Andy Weir, so Keefe was a bit of a departure from the format since his metier is narrative nonfiction writing marked by deep reporting. But he did fit into the format since he employs the brisk storytelling techniques of fiction in his work.

Along with writing about everything from Anthony Bourdain and Guinean iron reserves to an English teenager masquerading as the progeny of a Russian oligarch, Keefe has a handful of books to his credit, including two highly regarded best-sellers: “Empire of Pain,” which tells the story of the Sackler family, the owners of Purdue Pharma, the company that brought the world OxyContin; and “Say Nothing,” which dissects the 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland that finally ended in the 1990s. “Say Nothing” won the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction, and “Empire of Pain” was a finalist for the honor.

A nine-part dramatization of “Say Nothing” is set to arrive on Hulu this Thursday. It follows

“Painkiller,” the 2023 Netflix series that told the story of the Sackler family in dramatic form.

Growing up in a house full of books and a youthful fan of Hardy Boys novels, Keefe said his earliest memories revolve around being read to by his mother. Later on, he started developing the skills that would land him at The New Yorker by subjecting the magazine’s stories to almost microscopic scrutiny, down to the way they were structured and the number of sources that were used.

“You learn about the world in a form of stories,” Keefe told Maura Kelly, president of the Peters Township Library Foundation, in an onstage interview in the high school auditorium. “I can process much more information if you tell it to me in the form of a story. …

It’s innate to who we are.”

Keefe admitted that his own reading tastes tend toward fiction – mysteries, specifically – because when he reads nonfiction it “feels like work.”

He also admitted that it’s not too likely that he will ever join the ranks of novelists.

“I tried to write fiction quite a lot when I was young and proved to be not good at it,” he said.

The guest for next year’s Novel November event has already been announced – it will be Shawn “SA” Cosby, the crime writer whose output includes “Razorblade Tears,” “Blacktop Wasteland” and “My Darkest Prayer.” Tickets will go on sale after Labor Day. Information will be available at ptlibrary.org.

South Hills to be represented in WPIAL final

Lions end championship season

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

The WPIAL Class 5A championship game will be played at 8 p.m. Nov. 23 at Acrisure Stadium and at least one football team from the South Hills will be competing.

The Allegheny Six Conference was assured one finalist as Upper St. Clair (11-0) and Peters Township (10-1) battled in one Class 5A semifinal game on Nov. 15 at Bethel Park Stadium. The two teams finished first and second in the conference standings.

Bethel Park (10-2) battled Pine-Richland (9-1) in the other semifinal game played Nov. 15 at Martorelli Stadium in the North Hills.

(Results of the semifinal match-ups were unavailable at press time for the print edition of The Almanac.)

USC, which beat the Indians during the regular season, 21-7, advanced to the semifinals by beating Penn Hills (7-5) after receiving a first-round bye in the tournament as the No. 2 seed.

The Panthers relied on defense and its offensive line to grind out the win, 24-3, against Penn Hills.

Defensively, USC forced three takeaways. Charlie Bywalski intercepted and Randy Yan recovered a fumble, but Michael Albert forced the big turnover. His hit on the ball carrier forced a fumble that John Banbury gathered up and returned ELEANOR BAILEY/THE ALMANAC for a 37-yard touchdown with 55 seconds Nate Stohl (58) trips up Penn Hills quarterback Haymer Ellis during Upper remaining in the third quarter.

South Fayette’s championship season came to an end when the Lady Lions dropped a 1-0 decision to Mars in a PIAA Class 3A quarterfinal soccer match played Nov. 9 at Newman Stadium on the North Allegheny High School campus.

With the loss, the Lions finished 20-4 overall. They were the WPIAL champions for a second straight year.

“Our girls had an amazing season,” South Fayette coach Nick Rosser said. “We worked hard but it didn’t fall in our place (against Mars).”

The Planets scored the only goal of the game in the third minute of the match. Meredith Ashbaugh scored off a corner kick 2:43 into the first half.

“They are very good in the air,” Rosser said. “They came at us, and it was a big cluster, but hey, they got up higher than we did and were able to get the ball on the net.

We created a lot of opportunities for ourselves. We just couldn’t get it in the back of the net.”

The Lions put a lot of pressure on the Mars defense and Ciara Spaun dominated in the nets or the Fighting Planets.

South Fayette had its best scoring opportunity in the final four minutes but a shot by Mia Deramo missed just wide of the net.

The two squads are not strangers to tight matches.

They met in the WPIAL semifinals.

“OUR GIRLS HAD AN AMAZING SEASON. WE WORKED HARD BUT IT DIDN’T FALL IN OUR PLACE (AGAINST MARS).”

NICK ROSSER, SOUTH FAYETTE COACH After 110 minutes of scoreless action, South Fayette edged Mars (20-3) in a penalty-kick shootout.

With the win, Mars reached the state semifinals for the sixth straight season. The Fightin’ Planets previously beat Plum, 1-0, in overtime to qualify for the PIAA tournament as the WPIAL’s thirdplace finisher. They shut out Harbor Creek, 5-0, in their state playoff opener.

South Fayette also had an easy path to the quarterfinals, blanking DuBois, 5-0.

Gabby Beinecke registered a hat trick in that triumph while Emma Ferrari and Mia Patel tacked on the other tallies.

Deramo recorded two assists. Beinecke and Emily Sinton also managed assists.

A star-studded class Honorees inducted into Mt. Lebo’s Hall of Champions

By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net

Stars of the past and the present recollected their glory days as Mt. Lebanon inducted a new class of honorees into its Hall of Champions.

Eleven alumni and six individuals as well as team members from championship clubs were honored during the annual celebration held Nov. 2 at St. Clair Country Club.

“In addition to recognizing these individuals and their achievements, this event gives the athletes an opportunity to reconnect with friends and reminisce about their past accomplishments,” said John Grogan.

Grogan is the athletic director at Mt. Lebanon High School as well as a pivotal proponent of the event. He is a member of the Hall of Champion committee along with Stacey Franklin, Dr. Robert Schilken, Dale Cable, Bill Lewis, Carl Bahm, Meghan Anderson and Brian Walters.

Members of the Distinguished Blue Devil committee include Tyler Bluemling, Kim Robbins, Russ Jones, Norm Faett and Shelly Saba.

Grogan pointed out that Mt. Lebanon offers opportunities in 30 different varsity sports and a number of other club teams. There are over 1,200 students competing each year and benefiting from the wisdom of “great coaches who truly care not only about how they perform but who they are as individuals.”

Grogan added that he is proud of what the athletic programs represent and how they contribute to the development of the student-athletes.

“While we still enjoy our share of success, we more importantly strive to teach the many life lessons associated with sports,” he said. “We are able to use sports to help our young men and women grow, mature and blossom.

We do this by embracing our core values of teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship, respect and honor, discipline and continuous improvement while embracing the pride and tradition of Mt. Lebanon.”

After Grogan welcomed the crowd, Denny Postufka took over the microphone as the event’s emcee. The Voice of the Blue Devils introduced the newest members of the Distinguished Blue Devil Club first.

David Helwig (right) poses for a photo with his guests before being inducted into the Distinguished Blue Devil Club. Helwig was a WPIAL champion and PIAA runner-up in the two-mile run in 1969.

The Voice of the Blue Devils, Postufka emceed the event in which six student athletes, one relay and two WPIAL championship teams were recognized along with 11 new members enshrined in the Distinguished Blue Devils Club. Schilken and Franklin serve on the Hall of Champion’s committee.

They included respective former boys and girls lacrosse coaches Kee Joe Song and Sam Shannon as well as members of Lebo’s championship track and field relays.

Dave Helwig represented the Class of 1969. He was a WPIAL champion and PIAA state runner-up in the two-mile run.

David Rowles represented the Class of 1968. He combined with Doug Seay (1969), Paul Wetzel (1969) and Rich Shnure (1968) to win the mile relay in 1968. In addition to being WPIAL champions, the foursome claimed the bronze medal in the race at the PIAA championships.

Rob Seymour (1959), Dan Lee (1958), George Shein (1958)

and Steve Magoon (1958) were also admitted into the Distinguished Blue Devil group. The foursome won the WPIAL title in 1958 and set the PIAA state record for the 880 relay.

The lacrosse and track theme prevailed among the 2023-24 Hall of Champions inductees.

In addition to the enshrinement of the 2024 WPIAL girls’ and boys’ lacrosse championship squads, Luke Prezioso and Addie Murdoch gained individual admittance, thanks to their All-America recognition this spring.

Murdoch, who also was The Almanac Player of the Year, is currently playing the game at the University of Pittsburgh.

Prezioso is a freshman member of the Robert Morris University squad.

Logan St. John Kletter dominated the running scene during the 2023-24 scholastic season. She won the WPIAL and PIAA cross country championships as well as the 1,600and 3,200-meter races at the district and state level. She was the indoor mile champion and the national outdoor champion in the 3,200.
