National Tunnel on Montour Trail closed due to decaying ceiling
By Mike Jones Staff writer mjones@observer-reporter.com
The National Tunnel, which is considered one of the most picturesque features on the Montour Trail, was closed earlier this month after an inspection revealed severe deterioration in the ceiling near the western portal.
The Montour Trail Council closed the 112-year-old tunnel indefinitely Nov. 11 following the inspection as the nonprofit now considers making temporary and long-term repairs in order to be able to eventually reopen it to cyclists and pedestrians who use that portion of the trail through Cecil Township.
“We did a cursory inspection of the National Tunnel and it appeared to be all right. Nothing urgent,” Montour Trail Council Board President Julian Wolfe said. “But we noticed some deterioration in the western third of the tunnel. (The engineers) said they were very surprised how much of that portion of the tunnel had deteriorated … and they advised us to close the tunnel.”
The 600-foot-long National Tunnel opened in 1913 for the Montour Railroad and burrows below Klinger Road. Located at the 25-mile marker nearly in the exact middle of the 60-mile trail that travels from Coraopolis to Clairton with various spurs, the tunnel is a popular attraction with its curved layout.
Signs announcing the closure are now placed about a half-mile from both sides of the portal, along with additional signs alerting people of the dangerous conditions inside the tunnel. Construction barricades are placed at the portals to keep people from going inside, although large cracks can be plainly seen embedded in the ceiling with some debris collapsed onto the paved trail below.
The trail in that section is closed and the council is urging people to merely turn around rather than using nearby public roads as a detour.
Wolfe said they hope to examine the deterioration with 3-D penetrating radar imagery, which will give them an idea of what needs to be done to stabilize the ceiling. He suspects they will install shoring towers on onethird of the western side of the tunnel by the end of the year, and then have engineers determine whether it is safe to reopen.
“Then we’ll bring the engineers in and determine if we're going to be able to reopen the tunnel. I can’t say for sure,” Wolfe said. “Once the shoring towers are erected, the engineers will go in there and make an assessment. We need people with the knowledge of tunnels, especially with early 1900s railroad tunnels.”
But he expects that more robust work will be needed, such as building a steel rink-like liner to support the ceiling, much like the council did in 2023 and 2024 when it repaired the Greer Tunnel on the trail in neighboring Peter Township. That project cost about $1 million and installed 120 feet of metal liner, while the National Tunnel would require repairs to about 220 feet with a price tag Wolfe estimates would be above $2.5 million.
“That’s a huge lift for a nonprofits and volunteer organization that doesn’t get tax funds,” Wolfe said. He said the council plans to launch a massive fundraising campaign to help pay for the project, and will also see if state and federal grants are available to help offset the costs to repair the tunnel. Wolfe, who added that the previous repairs to the Greer Tunnel will be a “good template” for this larger project, said major preservation work such as this is just part of maintaining the trail system that is beloved by so many people in the community.
“It’s in a section that is very heavily used and enjoyed by the trail users,” Wolfe said. “It’s highly regrettable, but with our experience with Greer, it’s old infrastructure and has to be tended to. … It’s

Holiday keepsakes
Ornaments of closing Bethel Park schools available for purchase
By Paul Paterra Staff writer
ppaterra@observer-reporter.com
As Bethel Park School District prepares to close six of its schools, commemorative ornaments have been created to benefit charitable organizations. Ornaments depicting Neil Armstrong Middle School, as well as Memorial, Ben Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, William Penn and George Washington elementary schools are available for $25 each.
The metal ornaments, which are 4-by-2.75 inches, are the brainchild of Andy Amrhein, owner of Evey True Value Hardware and Rental, and vice president of Bethel Park Community Foundation. He said the idea came about in discussions with community members about the America 250 celebration in 2026.
“Along with the America 250 celebration, we have another historical event in Bethel Park in which we’re closing six schools and the district is building its new elementary center,” he said. “I suggested making Christmas ornaments out of pictures from the school.”
The five elementary schools will be closing to make way for the new $133 million Bethel Park Elementary School, which is slated to open for the 2026-27
school year. The new school will accommodate up to 1,800 students in grades K-5. Neil Armstrong Middle School is closing with fifth-grade students from that building attending the new elementary school and sixth-graders moving to a renovated Independence Middle School.
JP Diroll, a nationally known local photographer, was commissioned to create the ornaments.
“He went around different times of the day to try and get images from some very old looking buildings,” Amrhein said. “He came up with some gorgeous pictures and he made them into ornaments.”
On the back of the ornament bears the original name of each school and its date of existence.
“It’s a really fun keepsake for parents and alumni of the Bethel Park School District,” Amrhein said.
Proceeds will benefit the Bethel Park Fantastic Four charities – Bethel Park Community Foundation, Bethel Park Education Foundation, Bethel Park Historical Society, and Bethel Park Library – and the new elementary school PTO.
“We figured this would be good seed money for the new school,” Amrhein said.
A soft opening of sales began
recreation and community center.
Nov. 12, and in the first four days about 200 were sold.
The ornaments will be sold at a number of PTO events throughout the remainder of the school year, as well as some upcoming holiday activities.
Amrhein, a 1978 Bethel Park graduate, has purchased a few. He was a student at William Penn Elementary School, as well as Neil Armstrong. His three kids also attended William Penn, and his wife attended George Washington Elementary School.
“We’re very excited about it,” Amrhein said. “I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say we’re going to do $40,000 worth of ornament sales with the way they have been going with our little soft opening compared to when we go full tilt on it. I think the closer we get to the schools’ closing, the more hype is going to come for these keepsake types of ornaments. Everybody who has seen them has just fallen in love with them. I’m very, very happy with them.”
Ornaments are available at each of the closing schools, as well as Evey True Value Hardware and Rental, 5779 Library Road. Order forms are available at https://form.jotform. com/252964242560155. They will be shipped anywhere in the country.
are assisting with the event as part of their high school DECA project, noted there are a variety of new activities, not to mention a new day for the free municipality celebration.
“For the first time ever, we're celebrating on a Saturday evening, making it easier for everyone to join the festivities,” Weiss said in an email.
“Visits with Santa and other special characters can be photographed in front of a beautiful new backdrop for those picture-perfect holiday memories.”
While sipping hot cocoa and snacking on cookies donated by Bethel Bakery, parents and their children can write and mail letters to Santa, make reindeer treats and participate in MadScience’s snowball slime activity.
In addition to rotating musicians playing holiday favorites, those in attendance can vote in the 10th anniversary Gingerbread House contest as well as sample wares from 13 local vendors at the indoor holiday market.
Bethel Park’s Farmers’ Market is sponsoring the event with the Bethel Park
Several additional holiday events are being held at the nearby schoolhouse, located below the recreation center at the corner of Main and South Park roads, at 2600 South Park Road.
The ninth Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus will be held Dec. 6 at the Bethel Park Historical Society. Doors open at 9 a.m. There will also be a special appearance and photo op with the Grinch.
A limit of 75 tickets are available and cost $15 each per individual and may be obtained by emailing: historicalsocietybp@gmail.com.
The Schoolhouse Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Schoolhouse Arts & History Center. Local artists and vendors interested in participating in future events should email samantha.giancola.art@gmail. com for more details.
The Community and Recreation Center located in Upper St. Clair at Boyce Mayview Park is offering sundaes with Santa, a children’s holiday gift workshop, a winter wonder lab with Mad Science as well as a Jungle Jam adult dance party.

Last week we went to lunch with one of the furnace manufacturers. He is also laced with the same problem. We told him, “We have hired technicians for the Winter rush and we have got to keep them busy!” We told him that we agree to offer a big discount to our customers if he will help us out. He called his office and they agreed to give us an unbelievable price cut.
But their price cut ends once we make up for the furnaces we normally would have purchased in October.
So Here is Our Offer: We are offering you the biggest discount we have ever offered. We hope we do not ever have to do this again.

Peters Township claims WPIAL crown
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor
ebailey@thealmanac.net
Panic may be a great entry for a daily Wordle puzzle, but it’s never an applicable five-letter word found in the vocabulary of the Peters Township High School football team.
The sudden sensation of fear did not overwhelm the Indians even when they found themselves trailing top-seeded Pine-Richland (11-2) by 19 points at halftime in the WPIAL Class 5A championship game played Nov. 22 at Acrisure Stadium. No, the Indians calmly collected themselves and roared back to score a 20-19 victory.
“I wasn’t concerned at halftime,” said Peters Township senior captain Nolan DiLucia. “I love this team. I have faith in this team. I have their backs and they have mine.”
Peters Township head coach TJ Plack agreed. He said that he dispensed no Knute Rockne rousing words at intermission.
“I promise you it was nothing that I said. I just knew that we were not going to go out like that,” he said. “We could feel sorry for each other or we could adjust and get back out there.”
Win or lose, DiLucia knew the In-
dians would outwork the Rams in the second half.
“I knew exactly what we had to do when we came out at halftime and that we would work hard. We just stuck to what we could control. If we didn’t come out with the win, I know that we would work our butts off.”
Cole Neupaver certainly did that.
The senior tailback rolled up 101 of his 107 rushing yards in the final 24
minutes. Seventy-four of them came on a touchdown run that put the Indians on the scoreboard with 7:47 to play in the third quarter and set the rally in motion.
“That was a huge turn of events,” Neupaver said. “It gave us a ton of energy.
DiLucia agreed. “(Neupaver) got us back into it and he kept getting us back,” he said. “We just had to give
him a little bit of room and he’d do the rest.”
After DiLucia connected with Reston Lehman on a fourth-down conversion, Neupaver struck again. Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, he carried defenders on his back as he pushed the pigskin over the goal line for a 22-yard rushing score.
Another four-down completion from DiLucia to Lucas Rost, set up Neupaver’s third touchdown. His one-yard plunge into the end zone tied the game and Anthony Maiello’s extra point made it 20-19 with 4:50 remaining.
“(Neupaver) got us some momentum there,” Plack said of his first score. “In football, it’s a game of momentum,” Plack said. “We got right back into it there and it just kept snowballing, snowballing and snowballing,” he enthused. “It was awesome.”
Things were not so great for the Indians in the first half. Pine-Richland held Peters Township’s potent offense (33.5 points per game) to just 38 yards. Meanwhile, the Rams rolled up 205 yards and 19 points.
Ohio State commit Jay Timmons capped Pine-Richland’s opening drive with a 1-yard touchdown run at the 7:04 mark in the first quarter.
At 10:55 of the second stanza, Aaron
P.T. finishes runner-up in WPIAL
There would be no back-to-back championship nor a fourth WPIAL banner in field hockey for Peters Township. Fox Chapel saw to that.
The Foxes toppled the Indians, 2-0, in the Class 2A title tilt played Oct. 29 at Newman Stadium on the North Allegheny High School campus.
The Indians were seeded No. 1 in the tournament and were the defending champion, having beaten the Foxes in last year’s final.
The Foxes, who were the No. 2 seed, used goals by Melanie Pietz and Catelyn Pastoor to secure the victory.
The title was Fox Chapel’s sixth but first after a nine-year drought. The Foxes improved to 12-3-3 overall with the win and advanced to the PIAA tournament. With the loss, Indians finished 13-32 overall. WPIAL champions in 2009, 2018 and 2024, they were Section I winners with an 8-1-1 record.
The Indians reached the finals by edging Upper St. Clair, 1-0, in the semifinals. Fox Chapel blanked Greater Latrobe, 2-0, in its semifinal match.
“This season had its ups and downs, but our team showed a lot of resilience,” said PT head coach Kelly Meenan. “We started strong, and when we hit a tough stretch mid-season, it pushed us to refocus on playing together, supporting each other and having fun – which is when we play our best.
“Ending with a loss in the championship is tough,” Meenan continued, “but we're incredibly proud of the girls for earning their spot and competing all the way through.” Peters Township is a young club.
The Indians feature just five seniors on their roster: Makayla Ferris, Delaney McVicker, Dana Anderson, Karoline Heintz and Heidi Price. Ferris anchored the midfield while
junior Liliana Rose and sophomore
goalie Julia Anderson dominated the defensive end of the field. All three earned All-WPIAL honors and Anderson also claimed Defensive Player of the Year laurels..
“Makayla provided relentless pressure up front and in the midfield whenever we needed her,” said Meenan. “She has a true never-giveup attitude.
“Lily and Julia were like brick walls in the back,” Meenan continued. “Lily's block tackles and powerful hits were huge for us, and Julia made some incredible saves that played a major role in getting us to the championship. We have a lot of excitement for the rest of her field hockey career.”
In addition to Rose, the other juniors on the squad included: Eliza Muehlbauer, Maeve LaRose, Cecelia Reyes, Madelyn Sirinek, Annemarie
Strader tacked on a 3-yard score. Both of the 2-point conversion attempts by the Rams failed, however. With 4:13 remaining in the first half, Strader completed a 23-yard scoring strike to Khalil Taylor and Brody Walkowski connected on the extra point to expand the Pine Richland lead to 19-0.
“We did absolutely everything wrong and got beat up in that first half,” Plack said. “I can say I was surprised (by our comeback) but I really wasn’t because we are resilient.”
Peters Township’s defense, which has recorded five shutouts this fall and allowed 7.8 points per game, was stout, particularly in the second half as the Indians limited the Rams to 54 yards of offense James Spratt led the charge. He racked up 22 tackles, recovered a fumble and shared in one sack. Lehman, a Pitt recruit, followed with nine tackles, a forced fumble and a sack.
A Villanova commit, DiLucia added eight tackles and Rost managed seven. Gabe Kita forced a fumble and had a sack to go along with four tackles.

Bethel Park soccer looks back on successes
Seniors help Hawks reach goals
By Eleanor Bailey
Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
The 2025 boys soccer season did not end as planned for Bethel Park.
Though the Black Hawks captured their third straight section banner with a 12-0-2 record and advanced to the WPIAL semifinals in the Class 3A tournament, they lost their last two contests and finished 14-4-3 overall. A 1-0 loss to Franklin Regional prevented Bethel Park from competing for its first district title since winning back-to-back crowns in 2006 and 2007. A double-overtime defeat, 3-2, to Thomas Jefferson kept the Blackhawks from qualifying for the PIAA tournament and challenging for their second state title in school history. Bethel Park won the PIAA 3A crown in 1994.
“We achieved two out of our three goals for the season,” BP head coach Doug Fink said, noting the section title and deep district playoff run. “We failed to qualify for the PIAA playoffs though.
While he acknowledged

“I grew close to these young men and feel like I am losing 18 of my own sons,” Fink said.
“That is the bittersweet part of high school sports though.

“It will be tough to fill the shoes of the seniors next season but I always tell the team that life is about opportunities,” Fink said. “There will be many positions to be earned for the underclassmen.”
Fink added that he is grateful for his coaching staff. He credits Jay Zeminski, Josh Kicinski, Mike Stearman and Josh Woodman for the team’s winning ways.
“I love their passions and dedication to the program,” Fink said. “We coach together as a unit and these men are a massive part of our overall success.”

Once, there was a man from South Korea who said he had come to the Washington County Fairgrounds just for the sale.
“I believed him, because he bought $26,000 worth of product that day,” said Groll, All-Clad’s vice president of research and technology.
The annual factory sale draws many visitors to the county. AllClad is a brand recognized around the globe, and its stainless-steel cookware is the preference of many professional chefs. Groll pointed out that many celebrity chefs hawking their own lines of pots and pans often still use All-Clad.
And it is all made right in Cecil Township (although the company has a Canonsburg mailing address).
Ahead of this year’s factory sale, All-Clad invited media outlets to take a peek behind the curtain at its
factory off of Morganza Road where its cookware is manufactured.
Though much of the process at the facility is automated, there is still plenty of manual labor required to create the products. The factory employs 181 hourly and 60 salaried employees.
Inside the factory, large coils of metal are flattened and cut into smaller rectangles. Those smaller pieces are fed through a machine that grinds the surface to prepare

them for bonding.
Employees stack stainless and steel and aluminum sheets 10 high, alternating metals, before they are put through the rolling mills.
“We have a sequence of two rolling mills. It’s just like a giant pizza oven,” Groll said.
After the metal is heated, cooled, reheated and cooled again in the rolling mills, it is cut into discs, and a machine will shape those discs into a pot or pan.
The products are buffed and polished as they continue to move through the factory. Groll explained the cookware is given a coarse finish on the bottom.
“Coarse absorbs energy,” Groll said.
According to Groll, lid production is “fairly automated,” and the lids are a solid piece of stainless steel.
One piece of All-Clad’s products not produced in the factory are the handles. Those are made in China. At the Cecil Township factory, workers attach the handles to the products as they reach the end of the production line.
All-Clad’s pots and pans are then packaged and moved to the warehouse where they will wait to be shipped.
“Our main motivation is repeatability, consistency and quality,” Groll said of the manufacturing process.
The newest products All-Clad offers contain a graphite core on the cooking surface. Nicole Christy, a research engineer at All-Clad, explained graphite heats and cools more evenly across the surface.
From idea to the factory floor, Christy said it took about five years.
“There was actually 14 of them … Fourteen iterations until we landed
on this design,” Christy said.
All-Clad has been manufacturing cookware in Washington County since 1971, and the factory sale started just a few years later. The company’s products are heavily discounted at the sale when compared to purchasing them at a retail store.
This year’s sale runs from Thursday to Saturday. However, Thursday is considered “early access” for those who buy a VIP ticket. Sales from those tickets benefit Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Wendy Dyer, All-Clad’s international product director, said more than 8,000 people attended last year’s sale.
“People come from everywhere. We do UPS shipping, because people will fly in, or be on the phone buying for people out of state,” Dyer said.
Dyer added the event is a boon for Washington County’s economy, as attendees who travel far and wide are staying in hotels and eating at local restaurants.
The sale takes place at the Washington County Fairgrounds, 2151 N. Main St., Washington, Pa., 15301. VIP tickets for early entry can be purchased online. The sale will be open to the general public on Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
