Bulldog needs to be removed from neighborhood
Residents in Canonsburg are on high alert, after an American bulldog named Zeus attacked two dogs in a roughly six-month period near its home.
The first attack, in February, resulted in a greyhound named Gracie going missing for nearly two weeks after slipping her harness to get away from the bulldog. Following the first attack, Zeus' owners were required to erect a fence on their property to contain the dog and prevent future incidents.
Alas, the fence did not work – the most recent attack took place the evening of Aug. 2 and involved a dachshund named Sutton, who suffered an abdomen puncture, lacerated liver and muscular damage. These injuries required surgery and about $5,000 in veterinarian bills.
In both instances, the victims were being walked on leashes, whereas Zeus had gotten out of his yard. His owner, Sean Kenavey, claimed that in the most recent incident, workers repairing a latch removed the gate without him knowing, allowing the dog to slip out – chain in tow.
It is an unacceptable excuse, and Kenavey must take accountability.
Area residents attended the Aug. 5 Canonsburg Borough Council meeting in masses, voicing their concerns about the dog.
It goes without saying that owners need to be responsible for their animals, regardless of size, breed or temperament. Dogs must be on leashes, or confined to their yards either with a fence or chain that they cannot escape from.
Area animal control officer Kym Secreet has filed charges under the state confinement law, and feels that it is likely that Zeus will be designated as a nuisance under the state's dangerous dog law. The Pennsylvania Dog Law Enforcement Office is also investigating the most recent attack.
With the current situation, two times is two times too many. It was reported that Kenavey has asked the nonprofit American Bulldog Society to take and rehabilitate Zeus.
We have no problem with that – in fact, that would be the best possible solution. Residents and animals in the neighborhood would be safe, Zeus would not be euthanized, and hopefully, continue with a good quality of life.
But the bottom line is that something needs to be done to remove the dog from the neighborhood.

Of the 42 girls and boys basketball teams within the Observer-Reporter's coverage area, just three have won a playoff game each of the past two seasons, with the Monessen girls possibly becoming the fourth Wednesday against Rochester.
Think you can name all three? One of them may come as a surprise.
A shock, even.
The West Greene girls basketball team, which topped Clairton, 50-26, Saturday at West Allegheny, won a playoff game for the second consecutive season after earning the first playoff victory in program history last year.
"Everybody looks at us like we're no good because we're West Greene, but we have some good players on our team," said junior forward Madison Raber, the team's leading scorer at 19 points per game. "It's a group effort."
Winning back-to-back playoff games, ironically, has involved multiples of two: twin sisters getting double-doubles most every night, basically everyone doubling last year's production as a way to account for the loss of six key players.
Start with the Rabers, Madison and Alyssa, identical twins who are actually 'mirror image' twins – essentially what it sounds like, exact opposites in everything. While Madison shoots with her left-hand, Alyssa is a righty. They even have dimples on opposite sides of their faces.
"When we look at each other, we see ourselves," Madison Raber said. "It's pretty cool."
Madison Raber has more than doubled her point total from last year and also averages 11.6 rebounds per game. Alyssa, meanwhile, leads the team in rebounding at 12.6 per game and contributes 7.1 points per contest.
The two are on the same AAU basketball team – the 4SportsBreakers out of Washington – and have been playing with the rest of West Greene's team since fourth grade.
"We read each other and play all the time together," Alyssa Raber said. "The chemistry is there."
While Madison doubled her point total and Alyssa did the same with her rebounding, Emily Courtwright has seen a two-fold increase in her production, up to 8.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Same for Emily Stoll (5.2 ppg).
It's been essential, too, considering West Greene lost 595 of 1,034 points (58 percent) from last year's team.
"With everything we lost from last year, we said that our top four players are basically going to have to double their totals from last year," said Pioneers head coach Jordan Watson. "They all had to step up to equal that success."
West Greene, which hadn't been to the playoffs since the 1999-2000 season before beating Frazier, 51-31, in the WPIAL Class A preliminary round last year, got 25 points and 15 rebounds from Madison Raber against Clairton, 13 points and 14 boards from her sister – just the way the Pioneers want it.
"The first year we went to the playoffs, that was a big deal," Madison Raber said. "Then to go and beat Clairton – of course we're the underdogs again – was pretty awesome."
West Greene (13-9) assumed the No. 16 seed, which means it will play No. 1 Vincentian Wednesday, a 6:30 p.m. tip at Chartiers Valley.
And while the Pioneers know they're a long shot to upset the Royals, there's no denying that West Greene already holds a rather interesting distinction among areas teams.
"No one ever says, 'They actually can play. They made it back-to-back years to the playoffs. They've won two games. They go hard every game.'" Alyssa Raber said. "I just wish everybody would realize that West Greene does have heart, and we do have passion to play the game."

A 2-year-old Saudi Arabian boy has become the youngest weight loss surgery patient on record.
The boy weighed 73 pounds at the time of his stomach-stapling surgery, according to Australia's News Network.
At 14 months, he already weighed 47 pounds and suffered from sleep apnea. His legs had also started to bow in.
Efforts to keep the boy's weight in check weren't working (although doctors weren't certain his parents had stuck to their strict diet), so surgeons opted to remove the outer part of the boy's stomach in 2010, according to a report published in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports.
In just two months, the boy lost 15 percent of his body weight.
At age 4, he weighed around 53 pounds and has a normal Body Mass Index.
Obesity experts called the case "shocking" and warned such surgery could cause vitamin deficiencies and impact future growth.

LOS ANGELES – Although it sometimes accompanies fine films such as "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Argo," the phrase "inspired by a true story" tacked onto the front of a movie too often warns you that you're about to see something "inspiring" in the most hackneyed, triumph-of-the-human-spirit sort of way.
What's surprising about "Snitch" is that, rather than taking the reductive path of offering innocuous emotional uplift or one-man-army action, it generates a feeling of real desperation and fear as it shows a man getting in way over his head when he takes on some very bad guys. In other words, this is a pretty good film starring an actor named Dwayne Johnson, not a commodity with The Rock as a hood ornament.
Summit's main commercial hopes still rest with the mainstream action crowd – which likely will be satisfied despite the film's refusal to dish out doses of bodily harm like clockwork – but for Johnson, this could broaden the perception of the sorts of roles he can play as he pushes into his 40s.
Directed with intensity by longtime stuntman Ric Roman Waugh ("Felon"), "Snitch" takes its dramatic opportunities seriously and not just as an excuse for brutal confrontations between drug dealers and assorted thugs. The "inspiring" part lies in the fact that a father, John Matthews (Johnson), is willing to go to the absolute limit to prevent his teenage son Jason (Rafi Gavron) from serving 10 years in prison under mandatory-sentencing laws for having made one stupid mistake. The involving part is how he goes about it: getting entangled with some very unsavory characters while trying to preserve a vestige of his morality and remain alive.
Inspired by a "Frontline" report about an aspect of the law that allows for reduced time in exchange for informing on drug dealers, the script by Justin Haythe ("Revolutionary Road," "The Clearing") and Waugh follows a familiar-feeling template but goes deep enough with character detail and legal issues to set it apart from standard-issue drug- and crime-related films. Jason gets sent away for ill-advisedly accepting delivery of a box full of Ecstasy as a sort-of favor for a friend and also in order to try it with his girlfriend.
Unwilling to rat his buddy out, the terrified, physically unprepossessing Jason is tossed into the pen, where he'll be as defenseless as a rabbit in a foxhole. His resentful mother (Melina Kanakaredes) lashes out at John, her ex, while the only solution offered by politically hungry U.S. Attorney Joanne Keeghan (Susan Sarandon) is for Jason to offer evidence against some other drug dealer, but he truly doesn't have any.
The biggest dramatic leap the film imposes is that John, a straight-arrow guy who runs a shipping company but suffers guilt over having been a deficient dad post-divorce, would conceive of and then persuade the attorney to accept a plan under which he himself would deliver drug dealers to her in exchange for his son's freedom.
Keeghan expresses the same dubiousness the audience might feel, but once John gets the green light, you can feel the sweat and inner turmoil begin to simmer, as he's no better-suited than Homer Simpson to figure out how to go about this. John's formidable physique and straight-shooter personality might serve him well in most situations, but they have little bearing given his new challenges.
Unusual for this sort of thing, "Snitch" is a film after which you remember the characters and actors more than the big action moments.
"Snitch," a Lionsgate/Summit release, is rated PG-13 for drug content and sequences of violence. 112 minutes.

On April 22, 2008, Governor Martin O'Malley issued an Executive Order to establish the Maryland Partnership for Children in Nature. This Executive Order called for a review of current environmental education efforts in Maryland schools, including the identification of model outdoor field and learning experiences that are integrated as part of the regular curriculum.
Because each school setting is unique, a number of possible environmental education models have emerged around the state. In addition, the focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math), technology literacy, and the environmental challenges unique to Maryland have molded program offering and structures.
This index summarizes a variety of model programs as identified by Maryland School System Environmental Education Coordinators as of August 1, 2009.

CM Lady Macs working hard to stay on top in softball
Canon-Mac working hard to stay on top
When a team is No. 1, it can't rest on its laurels. So, while Canon-McMillan returns seven starters from last year's WPIAL championship club, the Lady Macs seek to improve all areas of their game this softball season.
"Everyone else is working to improve all facet's of their game to beat us," stressed CM skipper Michele Moeller. "We can't sit still in any area."
If the Lady Macs do, teams other than Hempfield, which returns five senior starters from the club that succumbed to CM in the district finals, will make duplicating last year's success difficult. The Lady Macs posted an 18-5 overall record, which included the school's first WPIAL title.
CM will be pushed in section action by Chartiers Valley, Bethel Park, Peters Township and Baldwin, all of whom have "young, quality pitching" says Moeller. But, experience will prove the Lady Macs' primary weapon against the competition.
Alayna Astuto returns to the mound. The senior posted a 16-5 record with 152 strikeouts last spring.
Her battery mate, Giorgiana Zeremenko is also back. The junior catcher recorded 85 putouts on defense with 80 assists. At the plate, she batted .475 with six doubles, two triples and seven homers. She drove in 31 runs.
Leading hitter Abby McCartney (.507 with a team-high 12 doubles and 22 runs scored) anchors the outfield in right along with veteran Yaszmin Kotar in center.
Meanwhile, CM's infield had been virtually intact until three-year starter, Veronica Rothka suffered an ACL tear that required surgery. Freshman Linda Rush fills the vacancy at shortstop while veterans Maddie Engel, Ally Bellaire and Olivia Lorusso man the bases.
"With Linda taking over Veronica's spot, we look to our veterans during this transition," said Moeller. "Based on spring training, it looks as if we haven't missed a beat as the freshman was strong down south in scrimmage play."
Offensively, Lorusso, a third baseman, however, may miss at bats because opposing pitchers may walk her. The junior is one of the most feared batters in the WPIAL. Lorusso clubbed a team-high eight homers and drove in 26 runs last spring.
While sophomore Tara Fowler has filled the vacancy in left field, senior Kayla Kiger is expected to contribute for the Lady Macs this spring.
While Moeller did not hint that the team's objectives this spring are to repeat as district champions and advance farther than last year's state semifinals, she knows what will lead to such success.
"Our goals are to train hard, build chemistry and rely upon our leaders," she said.
After all, seven of them already know that's what it takes to create a champion.

Praise and Reviews:
"Its quirky, has a great overall arc and when added to a criminal element goes on to show how tricky policing the unusual can be. Its definitely something that I would recommend to others and a series that has done nothing but entertain since its original release." – Falcata Times
"Known Devil is a fun book. It is exactly the entertaining, action packed, supernatural beings filled novel I was hoping for. Whether you're familiar with the supernatural detective genre or new to this style of noir detective fiction, Known Devil by Justin Gustainis is a pleasurable read." – Luxury Reading
"It was an enjoyable and well-written read in the series. I like that Stan is changing and adapting to the changes in the world around him, even if it's making him color outside the lines a little. I highly recommend this to people who want something a little gritty, a little dark, a bit nostalgic and different from the average Urban Fantasy novel." – Fangs Wands and Fairy Dust
"I like Stan and Karl a great deal, the sarcasm that is more of a native tongue throughout the story lending the entire narrative a gritty, yet resignedly amused feel that I really appreciated. With this many different kinds of creatures in play there seems to be no end to the possibilities in this series, and I would very much like to see what Mr. Gustainis might have in store for Stan and Karl in the future." – That's What I'm Talking About
"I had a great time with Known Devil and tore through it in a single sitting – with a break for food and putting the kids to bed – chuckling all the while and reading out good bits to my husband. Like Evil Dark, Known Devil stands alone quite well and you don't have to read the previous books to enjoy this one. However, if you haven't read any of these books before then you are in for a treat as they are hugely enjoyable." – A Fantastical Librarian
"I love the mix of genres that Justin Gustainis has created in the Occult Crimes Unit Investigation Series, and Known Devil, continues his trend of smart, dark, fun reads. These are not just crime/detective stories and they're not just urban myth stories – they're excellent stories about relationships and diversity. I'm a complete fan and I can hardly wait for book #4!" – Popcorn Reads
"Gustainis writes page turners; once I start I cannot stop. His characters have enough of the classic archetypes mixed with the new of the supernatural to create highly entertaining reads. Humor, action, and magic combine to make a Dragnet meets Supernatural experience. When a new book in this series comes out I'll be first in line to purchase it." – SciFi Pulse
"Known Devil sent Sergeant Markowski and his undead partner Karl Renfer on a hell of a ride, pun intended…I highly recommend this novel." – Rant E Rave
For Justin Gustainis
"Drugs and crime fiction go together like a horse and carriage, or gods and monsters. So when the Occult Crimes Unit Investigators discover that the elves have finally found something that can seriously mess with their heads, it's clear the shit has hit the fantastic. Justin Gustainis is back, digging into the darkest corners of the hidden world, in a wildly entertaining series where all hell breaking loose is just business as normal." – Simon R. Green
For Hard Spell:
"A cool mix of cop show and creature feature. Gustainis had me at 'meth-addicted goblins'."
– Marcus Pelegrimas, author of the Skinners series
"A magical mystery tour of a murder case rife with supernatural suspects. Sit down for an enchanted evening of otherworldly entertainment!"
– Laura Resnick, author of Unsympathetic Magic & Vamparazzi
"I enjoyed every page of Hard Spell. If Sam Spade and Jack Fleming were somehow melted together, you'd get Stan Markowski. I can't wait to see what Gustainis does next."
– Lilith Saintcrow, author of Night Shift and Working for the Devil
For Evil Dark:
"Fans of TV shows like Supernatural and Grimm will find this worth a read, and it's a lovely mix of real world nightmare and fantastic horror."
– Ed Fortune, Starburst Magazine
"Gustainis has proved himself time and time again, and it is no surprise to me that Evil Dark is another cracking novel."
– Theresa Derwin, Terror-Tree
"I thoroughly enjoyed Evil Dark and would recommend it to those readers that enjoy paranormal crime novels. Justin Gustainis has made it onto my must-read-author list and I look forward to what he has in store for us next."
– Sheila at Dark Faerie Tales

As far as I'm concerned the more cosmic enforcers the better. I've already done a mockup of what "Zodax" might look like.
I don't think he looks too bad all buffed up either. If they made him this way he'd require very little new tooling. He just needs a new head, belt, and hands (that would double as Tung Lashors).

East Washington police have obtained an arrest warrant for a Washington man accused of kidnapping and assaulting his estranged girlfriend this month.
Avery Lional Turner Jr., 22, is wanted on charges of kidnapping, terroristic threats, simple assault, harassment and unlawful restraint.
Borough police Chief Mark Griffith said Turner was released from a state prison last month and was placed in a halfway house in Pittsburgh. In 2010, Turner pleaded guilty to robbing two women at gunpoint in Washington and was sentenced to 3 to 6 years in prison.
Turner reportedly grabbed his 22-year-old former girlfriend about 9:30 a.m. April 8 from in front of the LeMoyne Center on Forrest Avenue.
"He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her down the steps and stuffed her into his vehicle," Griffith said. "They drove around the city. He was beating on her and threatening to kill her.
"She tried to grab the door handle and get out of the car, but he kept grabbing her and pulling her back," he added. "Finally she was able to jump out of the moving vehicle (on South Main Street) in the city. The wife of a Washington County sheriff's deputy happened to see her and was able to get her in her vehicle and get her away."
The woman, whom Griffith would not identify, was taken to Washington Hospital for treatment.
Since Turner is on state parole, Griffith notified that agency. Griffith said Turner was supposed to return to the halfway house by 3 p.m. but never returned and has not been seen.
Turner reportedly went to the woman's apartment Wednesday in Lincoln Terrace and put a knife to her throat, Griffith said.
On Thursday, police went to the home of Turner's mother on Fayette Street. His vehicle was parked in front of the house, but no one would answer the door. Police later stopped the vehicle, but his mother was driving it.
Griffith said Turner may be staying with friends or in local motels.
"He has been moving around to different areas," Griffith said. "We've also notified Chartiers Township and Canonsburg police because he reportedly has a new girlfriend who lives in the Houston area."

The hero pilot of the light plane that crashed in Nashville, Tenn., was a prominent Kansas rancher on his way to the nation's largest cattle industry trade show, authorities said Tuesday.
Kiefer Sutherland returns this spring as "24's" Jack Bauer, but says he's a bit concerned about starting up the show, which had been off the air for a few years, again.
Good-looking athletes seem to have it all — fame, money and often plenty of admiring women. And there may be a good reason for it, a new study finds.

Plans moving forward for Columbia Gas distribution facility in SF
Officials in South Fayette Township should be ready next week to approve site plans and land development plans for a proposed Columbia Gas distribution facility to be located along Cecil-Sturgeon Road.
At a workshop meeting June 12, Don Housley of KLH Engineers explained to commissioners that Columbia Gas would like to install a metering and regulator station on Cecil-Sturgeon Road. Housley said the developers have complied with all of the variances required, including agreeing to put in a paved parking lot and driveway to the facility.
"They're addressing everything," Housley said. He added that the site will include a large building, as well as a small-out building.
Matt Killian, project manager for Columbia Gas, said that the company wants to install pressure monitoring equipment in the building. He said the property will be surrounded by a six-foot tall fence topped with a foot of barb wire for security.
Other business
• Township manager Ryan Eggleston said he received a letter from PennDOT regarding the township's request for a multi-way stop sign at the intersection of Old Oakdale Road and Battle Ridge Road. The letter, dated May 9, stated PennDOT will review traffic study information submitted by the township and should have the results to the township within four to six weeks.
The township commissioned a traffic study during the time when school was in session and Eggleston said the "counts look good," and he is hopeful that a stop sign will be placed there.
• Eggleston informed the board about equipment needed for the township's new public works truck. He said the township has a quote of $14,840 from Muncie Equipment for hydraulics needed for the International truck chassis and cab that was purchased at the end of last year. Eggleston said capital reserve funding would be used for the purchase of the hydraulics.
• Solicitor Jonathan Kamin informed the board that the sale of the Star City parcel to UPMC has been finalized. He said the township will meet with its bond council for options on how to use the proceeds from the sale.
• The board's next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. June 19 in the Municipal Building.

WAYNESBURG – The Franklin Township Zoning Board ruled Tuesday evening that a business, located at 155 Dark Hollow Road, did not meet the criteria to receive special exceptions or a variance.
Catnip Acres, a nonprofit cat rescue organization, has been in business at the address for several years, but became the subject of a zoning complaint after a veterinarian was brought into the business. The complaint alleged that the change elevated the business to that of an animal hospital operating in the residentially zoned neighborhood.
Zoning board solicitor, Kirk King, laid out guidelines for testimony at the hearing to the more than 100 persons who attended who were both for and against granting the business the exceptions or variance. "It is the zoning board's task to hear the evidence for special exceptions and variances. It is not here to decide what is the best thing for the community from a practicality standpoint or if the business is properly licensed or not," King said.
Board chairman Jay Buckhalter reiterated that the issue before the board was strictly one of zoning law.
Carol Pultorac, owner of Catnip Acres, filed the paperwork for the board to declare her business a home occupation. Pultorac and her attorney, Greg Hook, presented testimony, photographs and documents to support her claim that the business was not operating as an animal hospital, which was one of the issues presented to and by the board.
Pultorac maintained that animals did not stay overnight after receiving veterinary services at Catnip Acres and therefore the business did not meet the definition of an animal hospital. She repeatedly stated that the spay and neuter clinics she offers at Catnip Acres did not create excessive traffic on Dark Hollow Road or surrounding streets and that there was ample parking on her property for clients.
The attorneys representing Beth Brumage, who filed the initial complaint, and Dr. Jennifer Behm of Waynesburg Animal Hospital objected to much of the personal testimony given by Pultorac and her supporters on the grounds it was irrelevant to zoning.
Buckhalter read the specifics of the zoning law regarding variances and special exceptions to Pultorac and asked her in each instance if she felt she met the criteria. She answered yes and cited her reasoning to each question asked of her.
Attorney Kelly Stepp, representing Brumage, said two veterinarians, 12 volunteers, a state-of-the-art surgical suite and one vet who was available 24 hours a day elevated the business to the level of an animal hospital. Pultorac still disagreed with the assessment, again stating that she does not "house" or "board" animals at Catnip Acres.
Everything from waste disposal to the safe handling of narcotics was addressed by the board before it rendered a decision.
Buckhalter told Pultorac the board has no control over what is written in the zoning law and that all requirements have to be met for a variance. He added that it carried a heavier burden of proof for the entity seeking it.
"Probably nobody in this room would dispute that good is being done there but we cannot base our decision on how good it is," Buckhalter said.
After listening to local property owners, many of Pultorac's clients, volunteers, local veterinarians and attorneys for both sides, the board entered executive session to reach its decision.
A motion to allow the exceptions and variance failed by a vote of 2-3 with board members Sam Boyd and Randy George in favor of granting them.
After denoting how Catnip Acres failed to meet the zoning law criteria for special exceptions and variances, Bultorac made a motion to disallow the variance and exceptions. It passed by a vote of 3-2. George and Boyd cast the dissenting votes.
Pultorac has 30 days to appeal the decision to the Greene County Court of Common Pleas.

MONONGAHELA – The mayor of Monongahela was arrested Tuesday on a charge of theft over accusations he borrowed money last year from a New Eagle couple and hadn't entirely paid off the debt.
Mayor Robert Kepics was remanded to the Washington County jail on $5,000 bond set by District Judge Mark Wilson after being arraigned on the charge brought in a private criminal complaint by John and Shirley Amon, the court record shows.
The Amons claimed they loaned Kepics $3,935 in April 2011 and had received three payments from him totaling only $1,600, the complaint indicates.
Wilson issued an arrest warrant for Kepics Tuesday, the same day the couple's complaint was approved by Assistant Washington County District Attorney Josh Carroll, the record shows.
The Amons further claimed they exchanged letters this year with Kepics, and in one they received from him Jan. 11, he promised to pay off the loan in monthly installments if he couldn't come up with what he owed them, the complaint indicates.
The first payment of $1,400 the couple received from Kepics was made Nov. 29, 2011, and at that time he promised to dip into his retirement savings to pay off the loan, according to the complaint.
"He never showed up or had the decency to call us," the Amons stated in their complaint.
They wrote him a letter in January seeking to work out a payment plan and said they ended up getting just two additional $100 payments from him in August and September.
Kepics won his first term as mayor in 2007 and was re-elected last year. Prior to becoming mayor, he served several terms on Monongahela Council.
Pennsylvania court records indicate he posted bond later Tuesday and was released from jail.
In a telephone conversation Tuesday night, Kepics said he thought he had worked things out with the Amons and had even received a "thank you" letter from them after he made the last payment.
"I am not a thief," he said. "I want to get this worked out and the charges dropped. This is a personal matter and has nothing to do with the city."
Kepics said he retained former Washington County District Attorney Steve Toprani to represent him in the case.
Wilson scheduled Kepics to appear before him for a preliminary hearing at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 20.

Many residents along the Washington-Allegheny county line are likely still cleaning up this morning after a devastating storm flooded the area Wednesday.
Torrential rains that fell throughout the South Hills and northern Washington County during the morning commute resulted in road closures, ponding water on roads and in yards, and flooded basements.
"In 13 years, I've never seen Route 19 flood like it did," said Peters Township police Officer John Bruce.
Along Washington Road, also known as Route 19, an unoccupied car parked at Marosz service station was lifted by the water cascading from a hill next to Moccasin Drive and floated to the middle of Washington Road, Bruce said.
At Rex Glass, just south of Moccasin Drive, a car stalled in about 2 1/2 feet of water, with Bruce making the decision to close Washington Road to all traffic. The closure lasted between 30 minutes and an hour, bringing rush hour traffic to a standstill. When the flooding receded, Bruce said, public works crews cleared debris from the road before traffic was allowed to proceed.
Crews closed Georgetown Road in Cecil Township for most of the day while the water remained high.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Washington County had not declared a state of emergency.
"There is not enough damage to warrant a countywide disaster declaration," said Jeff Yates, Washington County director of public safety. He explained that in order for the county to make such a declaration, allowing the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency to get involved, a certain percentage of homes have to sustain first-floor flood damage. He said the flooding was mostly confined to basements. He had heard one report of a home in Union Township that had a wall collapse.
Although the county did not seek emergency status, a number of municipalities did, including McDonald, Midway and Robinson Township.
Midway Secretary-Treasurer Darla Protch said the declaration makes the borough eligible for state and federal funds should they become available. She said fire department and road crew personnel were assisting residents by pumping water out of their basements.
"The streets were flooded," Protch said. "The ballfield, creek and road all look like a lake. You could not establish where one started and the other stopped."
The owners of Colonial Beer and Soft Drink in McDonald hoped they would be eligible for funding after rushing floodwaters ruined about 200 cases of beer.
"There's a lot of damage," said co-owner Ted Ersek. "We can't sell a lot of beer because, first of all, the packages are destroyed, and, second of all, that water had so many bacteria you'd never want to drink them.
"They're not good for anything but the Dumpster."
Ersek suspects the water that rose from Robinson Run behind the property on West Barr Street was tainted by sewage. Because he doesn't have flood insurance, he was hoping the emergency declaration might make him eligible for recovery funds.
"A couple hundred cases of beer doesn't sound like a lot, but that's a lot of money," Ersek said.
Flooding also occurred on Washington Road in Peters Township, closing Circle Drive near Beinhauer Funeral Home, where Bruce estimated the depth of the water to be 2 1/2 to 3 feet.
Several young students had to be evacuated from the Huntington Learning Center, 2848 Washington Road, by police and members of Peters Township Volunteer Fire Department. No injuries were reported when about 6 inches of water entered the building. Pizzazz Pizza in the same area also had flooding.
Bruce said the flooding along Washington Road resulted when a small creek that runs parallel to the road overflowed.
Additional flooding in Peters Township resulted in the closure of Valley Brook Road between East McMurray Road and the site of construction on the new ramp to and from Washington Road. Some motorists opted to attempt a shortcut when Route 19 was closed and ended up driving through "road closed" signs on Thompsonville Road before becoming stranded in a construction area.
Peters Township police Chief Harry Fruecht said he'd never seen flooding along the roads this intense in the 25 years he's been chief.
In neighboring Cecil Township, Chief Sean Bukovinsky said the heavy rains caused the closure of the intersection of Routes 50 and 980, and the railroad underpass at the bottom of Miner's Hill in Lawrence on Georgetown Road. In both instances, tow trucks were needed to remove vehicles stuck in the rising water. No drivers needed to be evacuated.
"Route 50 is always an issue for us," Bukovinsky said shortly after the water receded and the road was opened about 12:15 p.m.
Electrical power to Southpointe was lost briefly, but Bukovinsky said when he arrived at the scene Wednesday morning, West Penn Power crews were switching circuits, the traffic lights were working and power was restored.
He said at least one house had water in the basement along Klinger Road. Flooded basements also were reported in the Lawrence area and in the Fleeher plan.
Portions of Cecil Park between Route 50 and Millers Run were underwater. Employees of the public works department, located adjacent to the park, placed sandbags around the building. Bukovinsky said the water stopped short of entering the building.
Flooding also was reported in Upper St. Clair and South Fayette townships, as well as communities in the South Hills such as Bethel Park and Mt. Lebanon. Light-rail service between the South Hills and Pittsburgh was temporarily suspended because of debris blocking the tracks in several areas.
Meteorologist John Darnley of the National Weather Service was keeping a close eye on the colliding high- and low-pressure systems that began to dump rain just before 8 a.m. His wife sent him a picture of the overflowing retention pond near his South Fayette Township residence, something that has not occurred since Hurricane Ivan nearly 10 years ago.
Darnley said best estimates are that about 2 1/2 inches of rain fell in a six-hour time period, with the bulk falling around 8 a.m. Wednesday. More was predicted to hit the area Wednesday night.
Heavy rain was just part of the problem Wednesday morning, Fruecht said.
"The biggest problem is (drivers) don't look at the 'road closed' signs, and they don't obey the signs and they drive through," Fruecht said. Even after officers parked police vehicles with flashing lights near the road closed signs, "people were still trying to go through.
"We're trying to prevent them from being trapped, and then we'd spend more time rescuing them," Fruecht said.

TORONTO — The Anne and Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto's class of 2002 recently celebrated its 10-year high school reunion in a bittersweet way.
More than 80 graduates (out of 242), plus their spouses, gathered at TanenbaumCHAT's Wilmington campus on Nov. 15 to shmooze with friends and support a fundraising effort in memory of a former classmate.
Heather Guttman, CHAT's campaign and alumni associate, along with reunion co-chairs Noah Zatzman and Rachel Albert, decided that the event should honour TanenbaumCHAT graduate Darryl Odes, who lost his life to cancer in 2008.
"Rachel, Heather and I decided that donating a shulchan [Torah reading table] to the new chapel [to be built shortly, along with a new addition] on behalf of our grade would be the most meaningful way to remember Darryl," Zatzman said.
"CHAT also reached out to the Odes family, who were touched to hear about the idea and were quite supportive."
Zatzman said he and Albert decided to co-chair the reunion because their years at TanenbaumCHAT were "a definitive time" in their lives. "The lessons learned over the four years, both in and out of class, are still applicable in my life today, 10 years later."
Albert said it was important for her to help plan the event because she wanted to give back to the place and people who supported her during tough times.
"In high school, I was dealing with my mother's illness and her eventual passing, and I was completely overwhelmed by the love I was shown by my classmates and teachers. The CHAT family took care of me."
Zatzman said the event was a huge success.
"Organizing the reunion was so special for me, because it was a way to thank and support the school that taught me so very much, and not just academic. The fact that we have lost a classmate in the last 10 years put things into perspective for all of us. Don't sweat the small stuff."
While many grads could not attend the reunion because they are living abroad (some have made aliyah to Israel), they still supported the cause, Zatzman said.
Three laptops were set up at the party for friends to Skype with people who were absent.
Zatzman said even though the building's structure changed dramatically during his high school years, the energy and spirit that defined his CHAT experience "was still there throughout."

SF to update demographic study
In anticipation of possible expansion of the high school, the South Fayette School board voted unanimously to update the district's demographic study at a cost of $5,000. School directors Teresa Burroughs, Frank Morelli and William Sray were absent.
Dr. Shelby Stewman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon, will update the study that he did for the district in 2011. In that study, he predicted enrollment at the high school would rise by nearly 400 students in the next 10 years.
Superintendent Dr. Bille Rondinelli said at the Sept. 24 meeting the district should receive the updated numbers sometime in January.
"This is the first step as far as any consideration of the high school expansion," Rondinelli told the board. The second step would be to complete a feasibility study.
Money left over in the intermediate school construction fund could be used to pay the $5,000.
The high school was built about 10 years ago to accommodate approximately 800 students and is near that number now.
From 2001 to 2009, enrollment in the district increased by 34 percent, making it the state's fastest-growing school district by percentage.
Also at the meeting, the board approved installing an irrigation system at the intermediate school athletic field at a cost of $26,409. The cost includes the installation of a water meter pit and the irrigation system by Vrabel Plumbing. The district will do the electrical work in-house.
The board also approved the lease/purchase of up to four 72-passenger buses through an addendum with the district's current lease with PNC Bank. The first of 48 payments will be due July 15, 2014, with a $1 buyout at the end of the lease. The interest rate is 1.76 percent and the total purchase price of the four buses will not exceed $344,180.
In other business, Rondinelli announced that the school board will be receiving an award from the Pennsylvania Arts Education network at its Arts Education Symposium Oct. 30 in Harrisburg. Rondinelli said the board is being recognized for its consistency in keeping arts programs in the district.

Bus companies serving Trinity Area School District have offered to continue providing transportation to students in the event the legal impasse with the school board over a transportation contract continues into the next school term.
Schweinebraten and GG&C bus companies notified the district in writing Monday of their decisions to offer Trinity services under the terms of their existing contract after the school board was split 3-3 on a motion Feb. 21 to award the companies a new five-year contract.
"Our goal is to prevent the district, families and students from being placed in the untenable position of having no transportation contractors in place," Schweinebraten President Billy R. Schweinebraten stated in a letter to Paul Kasunich, Trinity's superintendent.
Both sides were back in Washington County Court Tuesday asking President Judge Debbie O'Dell Seneca for direction. She had put the case on hold after the parties reached a settlement that called for three directors with former ties to GG&C to abstain from voting on the new contract.
GG&C filed a lawsuit against Trinity in December alleging the school board and three of its members ignored conflicts of interest and violated state laws while handling transportation matters after four firms submitted bids for the contract.
O'Dell Seneca appeared frustrated Tuesday after Trinity's attorney, Chris Furman, suggested she reverse her previous order and permit the three directors, Sandra Clutter, Jenene Hupp and William Clemens, who are former GG&C employees, to vote on the contract.
"You're asking me to rule on a conflict of interest you all agreed to?" the judge said before asking Furman what happens when a school board cannot agree on a contract.
Furman said the state School Boards Association didn't have the answer to that question, either.
O'Dell Seneca ordered the parties behind closed doors for a status conference before meeting in her chambers with Furman and GG&C attorney Richard C. Kelly.
After returning to court, she instructed both sides to report back to her after the school board meets in executive session to discuss the case before its next meeting.
At stake is a contract for which GG&C bid $8.67 million, while First Student bid $8.86 million. However, questions were raised about how the bids were calculated and whether GG&C, which has had the contract for more than 50 years, submitted its bid properly.
Schweinebraten would continue to share the contract with GG&C, if it secures a new deal.

In the Bible, a furlong is a unit of measurement, the equivalent of 220 yards.
In faith, men are judged by good works, and the Rev. Brent Furlong has done those by, well, the furlong.
Furlong, associate pastor at Nottingham Christian Center in Eighty Four, is the founder of Go Time Ministries (named for "Seinfeld" character Izzy Mandelbaum, played by the late Lloyd Bridges, whose catch phrase was "It's go time!") and for the past 27 years has dedicated his life to helping youth find Jesus Christ.
Furlong says modestly that he has "no talents, no skills, just a 'want–to' to see young people get to know God."
But the energetic, 49-year-old preacher is upbeat and charismatic, with an infectious laugh, a knack for using sports and pop culture to relate to teens, and a tendency to use the word "phenomenal" in most conversations.
He also has an ability to get things done.
Furlong has established youth ministries in Charleroi, Finleyville, McKeesport, Bentleyville and Clairton (where his youth group includes many of the PIAA Class A state championship football players), and recently Go Time purchased two adjoining townhomes in a housing project in Clairton, which youth and adult volunteers are rehabilitating and turning into a permanent youth center where students can gather after school.
He's on the board of mission organizations, including One to the Other Ministries and Joshua Unlimited and in February, he's taking a dozen teenagers to Lima, Peru on a mission trip – one of four international mission trips he has scheduled this year to establish youth ministries.
His intention, Furlong says, is to "help kids grow in the grace and knowledge of God.
"You hope that when they leave youth ministry, they love God with all their hearts and they love their neighbor as much as they love themselves," said Furlong, sitting in the Go Time Prayer Room in Finleyville, donated by friends Dan and Robin Mulkern.
The walls of the Prayer Room are covered with pink and yellow and green Post-it notes, on which prayer requests are jotted down (staff member Deb Kregenow is in charge of prayer requests, which come in at all hours of the day and night), scripture quotes, and a large wall map dotted with locations to where Furlong, his staff and youth have traveled for missionary work.
Furlong, a son of the late Bert and Doris Furlong, grew up in the Mon Valley and graduated from Ringgold High School, the University of Pittsburgh and Shiloh Bible Institute.
Furlong said his mother was a "great woman who loved God and taught me about the Lord." He inherited his work ethic from his father – a devoted Pittsburgh Pirates and "M*A*S*H" fan – who worked three jobs (as a bus driver and a custodian at two places), and when he retired at the age of 65, he took a job as a custodian at Hillcrest Christian Church, where he worked until he was 88 years old.
At Pitt, Furlong (whose passion for the ministry is rivaled by his devotion to the Panther sports teams) changed his major six times in two years. He felt led to social work, landing an internship at the Washington County jail and then a job with the Salvation Army after he graduated. Later, Furlong received a master's degree in social work, and he worked with children at Pittsburgh hospitals, where he counseled trauma patients and their families.
He has always felt called to work with children.
It was his way, he says, of paying back the people in his life who served as mentors and nurtured his spiritual growth when he was a youth.
"When I grew up in the Mon Valley, there was always someone in my life who provided me with guidance, and I always wanted to do that, to be that person," said Furlong. "I just admired them and appreciated them because they pushed me. I wanted to be a person who was a positive influence and who pushed kids in a positive direction."
Among those mentors were his parents; his in-laws, Anthony and Rosalie Vaccari; the Rev. Bill Lusk, the pastor at Nottingham Christian Center; Harriet Beck, his youth group leader and his mother's best friend; and the Rev. Larry Kessler, a pastor he met in Maine, where his wife, Dr. Natalie Furlong, attended medical school.
In 2001, with encouragement from his wife, a partner at South Hills Family Medicine (the couple met in the youth group at Gastonville United Methodist Church and were high school sweethearts), he started Go Time Ministries, a nonprofit, non-denominational ministry that aims to spread the word of God locally and abroad.
"It's been a lot of fun. I enjoy every day," said Furlong, who shuttles kids to college visits, helps them fill out job applications and attends their extracurricular events.
The father of a 15-year-old girl, Furlong acknowledges that today's teens are growing up in a more complex world than he did, and contends the solution to mankind's problems is to arm them with knowledge, reverence and respect for God.
"This ministry is all about God. I've got a phenomenal staff and a lot of people who believe in what we do," said Furlong.
Furlong answers his phone 24 hours a day, and he acknowledges he rarely gets a full night's sleep.
But that's OK, Furlong said, because there isn't time to rest as long as there are people whom he can help find their way to God.
For Furlong, it's always Go Time.

WAYNESBURG – State police arrested a Masontown man for allegedly exposing himself to two women in Carmichaels Borough.
Michael Earl Moore Jr., 33, of 81 Fort Mason Road, is charged with indecent exposure, open lewdness and disorderly conduct.
According to police, Lisa Teagarden of Carmichaels told them she was walking along West George Street near the First Federal Savings and Loan Association March 22 when a red Dodge Neon pulled up next to her. Teagarden said the driver of the Neon first asked her if she needed a ride. He then asked if she would like to have a good time and exposed himself to her, Teagarden said. Teagarden fled and went inside Gabler's Drug Store to avoid him. Teagarden told police the man was alone in the car.
On March 23, Kimberly Petron, of Crucible, was coming out of Gabler's Drug Store at 1 p.m. when she noticed a red Dodge Neon parked very close to her truck. Petron told police when she went to her truck, she saw a man in the Neon exposing himself. She said he looked at her and rolled his window down as she got into the truck.
According to an affidavit, police obtained the video surveillance footage from the banks in Carmichaels Borough to obtain a picture of Moore that was distributed to state police in Waynesburg. On March 26, a trooper saw a man fitting Moore's description in a red Dodge Neon in the parking lot of the Waynesburg BP service station. Police questioned Moore at the scene. He told them he had no recollection of being in Carmichaels March 22.
Moore was brought in for a line-up March 28 where he was identified by both victims.
Moore was arraigned Wednesday and released on $15,000 unsecured bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. April 10 before District Judge Lee Watson.

Redevelopment of the site of the fabled tire fire is wheeling toward completion.
The final parcels in Detroit Avenue business park in Washington have been sold to the two businesses there, Prime Plastics and Multi-Chem. Each company essentially purchased half of the available land from the Redevelopment Authority of Washington County.
RACW has managed the remediation and rehabilitation of what had been a brownfield, a former industrial property that was damaged environmentally and had to be reclaimed before it could be reused.
Multi-Chem, headquartered in San Angelo, Texas, is an oil and gas support services firm that supplies chemicals to companies working in Marcellus Shale. It ships them by train via a railroad line fronting the operation. Houston-based Halliburton owns Multi-Chem.
Prime Plastics, based here, produces a variety of consumer plastics goods. Officials at both businesses could not be reached for comment.
Those firms' buildings, an active railroad line and two rail spurs are virtually the only entities on Detroit Avenue, which can be accessed just from East Maiden Street. The park covers 11.5 acres and is adjacent to Maiden Business Park.
Premier Auto, on East Maiden Street, bought the remaining 0.3 of an acre to add parking space for cars, said Bill McGowen, executive director of the RACW. Preparing that strip, the replacement of a sanitary sewer line and Multi-Chem's planned construction of a second, smaller building are the only projects that have to be finished on that land.
"Our title is 'Redevelopment Authority of the County of Washington.' This is an excellent example of part of our mission," said Susan Morgan, brownfields and municipal planning manager for the RACW.
Almost exactly 16 years ago, a seemingly unextinguishable fire transformed Detroit Avenue into an extremely toxic brownfield. A Washington teenager set the blaze Feb. 27, 1997, in a building that had been used by Natural Granulating, which recycled tires. That company had shut a year earlier and a large volume of tires remained inside.
Ball Glass had occupied that building for many years before shuttering in the 1980s.
It took firefighters, working almost round-the clock, 10 days to put out the blaze, which contaminated air, water and soil. Small particles of rubber were everywhere on the site and disbursed for miles through surrounding communities.
Detroit Avenue remained vacant for eight years. Prime Plastics began operations there two years later, in 2007, and Multi-Chem opened shop in early 2010.
The redevelopment authority worked with the state Department of Environmental Protection, the state Department of Community and Economic Development and the property's owner, Detroit Street Partners, to make the land usable again. The DEP forgave a large lien against the property for cleanup costs, then the DCED committed $1.7 million for site development.
Half of the proceeds from the recent land sales were remitted to the DEP in accordance with a consent order and agreement forged in 2005.
A lot of time, labor and money have been devoted to resurrecting Detroit Avenue – from Redevelopment Authority staff work to environmental testing to remediation to construction to business operation.
Utilities were installed, along with the rail spurs; two industrial buildings were renovated; and an office building and transfer facility were built.
The financial equation includes $6 million from private investors and $1.7 million in state funding.
All of that has paid off in the creation of more than 100 jobs between the two businesses and an increase in tax revenues for the city, county and Washington School District.
"We were able to leverage $6 million in private dollars," McGowen said. "It's really good when you can leverage private dollars and create jobs.
"We've transformed a blighted brownfield into a vibrant property," Morgan said. "There's much more tax revenue being generated than when you have a blighted site."
Brownfields, not surprisingly, are common in Washington County because of its industrial heritage. Morgan said her office asked all municipalities in the county to identify brownfield sites within their borders, resulting in a list of about 135.
Brownfield projects are prioritized according to circumstances, she said, adding that the Redevelopment Authority has been involved in "probably 15" in recent years.
It takes a tireless effort –especially when tires are involved.
