Brashear campers will get-together to talk over old times Reunion in the works for August 2017

By Tom Smith South Pittsburgh Reporter Editor My first experience with Brashear Camp didn’t come during the summer in the 135 wooded acres outside of Zelienople, it came on the second floor of the Brashear Center in what is now the Birmingham Foundation’s conference room.

There, on an early spring evening in 1972, I would meet what would become life-long friends, learn to build a fire using tinder, kindling and fuel and master making a bedroll from two blankets. It would be several more months before I would finally make it to camp in early June as a CounselorIn-Training (CIT).

I would spend the better part of seven summers over eight years at camp in a variety of positions: CIT, counselor and handyman. Everyone who went there just called it “camp,” not Brashear Camp or Claudine Virginia Trees Camp its original name. “Are you going back to camp?”

The center of activity at camp was the Barn. The main floor was a meeting and event space big enough to hold all campers and staff along with the camp office, camp store and canteen. The basement held the dining hall and kitchen.

By the time I started going to camp, the platform tents used by the older boys had been retired and campers stayed in six cabins on top of the hill and girls in five cabins parallel to the Barn. Male CITs stayed in a small cabin at the edge of the tree line on top of the hill (The Pit), while female CITs and the Water-

front Director were housed in their own building (Keeler) with running water adjacent to the Barn.

The camp and program directors, along with the camp nurse stayed in the big farm house on the other side of the Barn. The infirmary and the girls’ washroom were also located in the house.

The staff lodge where counselors and CITs gathered after campers were fast asleep was located below the Barn and a stand of pine trees. A hand painted map of Brashear Camp now sits in the Museum Room of the Brashear Center.

Regular camping sessions were 12 days long and there were three a summer. My 1974 Counselors’ Manual says each session would have 88 campers, but there were

City launches new web Letters to the Editor voices were heard in design of library application giving access Our I’ll admit that as a walked toward the Carrick Library Meet- for demolition and expansion.

The reduction of useable space for an elevator servicing our ing on that Thursday in September my mind was more focused to neighborhood data on if I was going to beat the forecasted rain and pick-up the less abled patrons would be supplanted by an ingenious ramp The City of Pittsburgh has unveiled Burgh’s Eye View, http://bit.ly/2fPeumG, a new mobile web application giving residents instant visual access to important neighborhood data.

This mobile web application will allow citizens, for the first time, to gain visual insight into a wide range of data including incidents of crime and other public safety data, building permits and code violations, and “311” service requests.

“Transparency and openness are essential to ensuring a responsive city government and thriving neighborhoods,” said Mayor William Peduto.

“Burgh’s Eye View brings that transparency directly to the citizens of Pittsburgh, and more importantly transforms the experience of open government - by making it truly accessible to everyone.”

Built by the Department of Innovation & Performance’s Analytics and Strategy team, Burgh’s Eye View is designed to become a “one stop shop” for residents and community groups to access and view city data. With a simple search bar, a map that responds and updates as you choose the data you want to see, and a mobile layout for use on smartphones, the application is designed to reduce technological barriers to accessing and making sense of city and neighborhood data.

“Burgh’s Eye View is proof of city’s commitment to open data,” said Chief of Innovation and Performance Debra Lam. “We hope that making this information available and widely accessible not only increases government accountability but enables residents and community groups to contribute to effecting change at the neighborhood level. This is another testament to Pittsburgh’s inclusive innovation.”

To assist residents in engaging with their neighborhoods, the following data sets are currently available on the Burgh’s Eye View map. To ensure residents’ privacy, certain types of data - such as the locations of arrests - have been generalized to the block or neighborhood level: Public Safety • Incidents of crime • Arrests • Non-traffic citations 311 Requests: All requests by type, including: • Broken sidewalks • Excessive noise • Graffiti • Potholes • Snow/ice removal Building Information • Permits • Violations City Assets The application is populated with data the city supplies nightly to the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center (WPRDC) and relevant data sets can be exported directly from the application as well as the WPRDC website.

“Burgh’s Eye View is built on City’s solid open data foundation,” said Analytics & Strategy Manager Laura Meixell. “I’m proud of our team’s ongoing work with residents and community groups to gauge how publicly available information can be of best use, and respond to neighborhood needs. We’re looking forward to increasing the number of data sets available and continuing to thoughtfully build tools for residents and city departments.”

Updates to Burgh’s Eye View are planned as the city continues to increase the amount and variety of data it publishes. The Analytics & Strategy team is current-

couch I had bought on Craigslist.

I made arrangements with my dad, and told him I’d be back home in about 20 minutes as I knew exactly how this meeting would go. I thought after 15 minutes I would have heard enough.

I had been to the Carrick Library ‘input’ meeting months earlier in January and was one of the numerous vocal opponents of the plan as it was presented. I was also extremely disappointed the meeting had been billed as an ‘input’ meeting when what we were being shown seemed like a done deal, seeking the rubber stamp of the community. I had prepared a thoroughly researched presentation detailing where in the pantheon of the Carnegie Library the Carrick Branch fell as far as square footage and actual users. Sadly, there was no forum for presentations, and it seemed like the work I had done was for naught.

Eight full months passed since that day in January. Since the desired ground breaking was to be in the spring of 2017 I believed this meeting was being held to inform us plans were moving forward. I have never been so happy to be so absolutely wrong.

The meeting began with the Carnegie Endowment acknowledging the previous meeting in January had not gone exactly as expected. They had used the outcry from the community as an opportunity to go back to the drawing board and reevaluate not only past alternate proposals but investigate new changes in the Carrick real-estate landscape. At this point, I sat up in my hard wooden Concord auditorium seat more appropriately built for a 5th grader than the father of a 5th grader as I came to the realization we had actually been heard. That meeting in January that many left in disappointment had truly been an ‘input’ meeting after all. I sent a text to my Dad to tell him I would be late.

As the new plan was presented the concerns from that earlier meeting were referenced as they explained exactly how the new plan was built to address each particular concern. The lack of additional square footage by simply adding a second floor would be rectified by the purchase of a neighboring building

Cranston conversation with Tracy Brigden at City Emmy and Tony Awardwinning actor Bryan Cranston will appear on the City Theatre Main Stage in this CityEvent, produced in partnership with Classic Lines bookstore.

Mr. Cranston, currently on tour to promote his memoir, A Life in Parts, will be joined by City Theatre artistic director, Tracy Brigden for a conversation about art, his life, and career. The event will take place on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 4 p.m.

In his memoir, A Life in Parts, Mr. Cranston traces his zigzag journey from his chaotic childhood to mega stardom by vividly revisiting the many parts he’s played, on camera (astronaut, dentist, detective, candy bar spokesperson, President of the United States, etc.) and off (paperboy, farmhand, security guard, dating consultant, murder suspect, dock loader, son, brother, lover, husband, father).

Discussing his failures as few men do, describing his work as few actors can, Mr. Cranston has much to say about innate talent, its benefits, challenges, and proper maintenance, but ultimately A Life in Parts is about the necessity and transformative

power of hard work.

Mr. Cranston won four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Walter White in AMC’s Breaking Bad. He holds the honor of being the first actor in a cable series, and the second lead actor in the history of the Emmy Awards, to receive three consecutive wins.

In 2014 he won a Tony Award for his role as Lyndon B. Johnson in the bio-play All the Way. In film, he received an Academy Award nomination for his leading role in Trumbo. Among his numerous television and film appearances, he was nominated for a Golden Globe and three Emmys for his portrayal of Hal in FOX’s Malcolm in the Middle.

Tickets for Bryan Cranston in Conversation with Tracy Brigden are $35. Each ticket includes a copy of A Life in Parts signed by the author.

Seating is general admission.

City Theatre season subscribers can save on per-ticket fees by calling the box office to order. Tickets can be purchased by calling 412-431CITY (2489) or at CityTheatreCompany.org.

design with a fairly low grade; allowing both accessibility to the second floor for less abled patrons and a lower impact to useable space.

The meeting continued discussing not only how other concerns would be addressed, but what other potential locations were reviewed and some of the issues that caused these locations to not be the correct solution for Carrick.

I don’t know that I have been to a more transparent, empathetic and genuinely informative meeting. The teams from Economic Development South and the Carnegie Endowment displayed so much passion for this process the crowd of this heavily attended meeting could have easily thought they too were Carrick residents. The feedback from the community that will use this facility and who ultimately pays for it was clearly taken to heart.

While there will be the minor inconvenience of the library being closed while they tear down the existing building and erect the new one, we are lucky in that our Hilltop neighbors in Knoxville have a wonderful new library less than a mile away. The end result will be a beautiful inclusive building that will be a beacon for Carrick’s burgeoning next generation.

The new library will be built using “passive house” construction bringing several cutting edge innovations to its design and function. This innovative approach will bring lower utility costs through super-insulated construction as well as higher indoor air quality, and completely eliminate storm water runoff from the location.

Carrick will have the first library built with passive house construction in North America.

I can confirm for you the old adage is true, you can’t judge a book by its cover (or a library meeting).

Dan Minsterman Carrick

Exciting time for the library

I want to thank the Carrick community for their dedication, patience and insight into the upcoming renovation of our library building. It is an exciting time for Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Carrick.

There is a new buzz around the library; patrons tell us they are thrilled the building will still be in the heart of the community, with more shelf space for books and materials, more room for children and teen programming and the ability for staff to experiment with new and different services that better meet the needs of our community. That excitement will only continue to grow as construction begins and we can see the building’s transformation.

Our staff is working hard to design a facility that will serve the community now and well into the future, but we couldn’t do this alone. It takes an entire community. Our community engagement process has been our most important tool in collecting input from library users, community organizations and other neighborhood stakeholders to understand how they use the library and what they expect from it.

During this process our architects and staff have incorporated that feedback directly into plans for the new library -- everything from the building’s location and design to the programs we offer.

I would encourage everyone to stop by the library on Brownsville Road and check out the architectural designs and plans for our new building. It is not too late to share your feedback and suggestions with us.

And… if it has been a while since your last visit, let our staff know and we will be happy to give you a brand new library card so you won’t have to wait for the new building to enjoy the library.

Brashear campers will reunite to talk over old times Continued from Page 1 was also a “work week” for staff to prepare the camp for campers and Football Camp after when teams would use the camp to prepare for football season.

Although several teams used the camp, Monaca and McKeesport schools were there for many summers.

Prior to summer camp and following football camp, the Sportsmen, a group of South Side businessmen and boosters, would come up to the camp to do the heavy lifting of getting the facilities ready for the season. Some of the tasks they undertook were to put up and take down the platform tents, any major repairs to the buildings and the placing of concrete pillars at the corners of the camp property.

The Sportsmen were responsible for building an elevated deck off of the main floor of the barn and constructing a new Boys 4 cabin.

Boys 4 would later be dedicated to the memory of long-time caretaker Tony Pankowski.

Burgh’s Eye View Continued from Page 2 ly working with the city’s Finance Department to create an internal version of the application for its own use, and to consider which data it might make public to best serve residents.

The application was built internally by the Analytics & Strategy team and has no cost.

The Analytics and Strategy team will also “open source” the application in the coming weeks, ensuring the code used to build Burgh’s Eye View can be used and modified by other cities looking to provide a similar tool for their residents. This positions Pittsburgh as a leader in inclusive approaches to the use of

open data.

Burgh’s Eye View is part of a larger suite of maps built for city departments (Police, Fire, Public Works, PLI) and City Council, which have been in use for nearly a year.

The debut of the new application builds upon work by the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center, and follows such other efforts to make city operations more accessible and transparent to residents as: the Snow Plow Tracker, http://bit. ly/2frc772; building inspection information via Buildingeye; the mobile 311 application MyBurgh; public input into the City’s new homepage at Pittsburgh Alpha, http://bit.ly/2f5zXql; the Transparency Portal, http:// bit.ly/2eKDCXE; Citiparks online facility reservations, http://bit.ly/2eAwQGt; online business opportunities via Beacon, http://bit.ly/2fcEu87; and the Police Data Initiative.
