Peters VFD, VFW establish fund for family of Gary McLaughlin
Members in the Peters Township Volunteer Fire Department and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 764 in Peters Township have established a memorial fund for R. Gary McLaughlin, who died in a tragic house fire the morning of Easter, March 31.
Money raised for the fund will be used to help the family, said Scott Huenefeld, commander of Post 764.
McLaughlin initially escaped the fire that originated in a clothes dryer, but returned to the house to retrieve unknown items.
He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War and was an active member of Post 764, rising through the ranks and eventually serving as post commander.
"There aren't that many true gentleman and he was that, a true, true gentleman," Huenefeld said.
McLaughlin's wife, who survives, was active in the Post's Women's Auxiliary.
His son, Michael McLaughlin Sr., was a member of the Peters Township Fire Department, including serving as Captain, before his death from cancer a few years ago. He was known as "Fireman Mike."
A grandson, Michael McLaughlin Jr., is a paid firefighter in the same department, is a lieutenant and serves as the department's fire prevention officer.
"The McLaughlin family has provided many years of community service to Peters Township and the members of these organizations are urging everyone to donate to this fund," said Greg Nardine, president of the Peters Township Volunteer Fire Department.
Donations may be mailed to McLaughlin Easter Day Fire Fund, First Commonwealth Bank, 4198 Washington Road, McMurray 15317.

I loved that he was portrayed as a tough-as-nails, no nonsense drill sargeant type. He was refreshingly badass for one of the heroes. I definitely want a classics update of him.

PT parents protest sex-ed material
An overflow audience attended Monday's meeting of Peters Township School Board to address parents' concerns about a program on human growth and development that is being taught in the middle school.
No decision was made by the board on any of the issues brought up. However, Joseph Dimperio, acting superintendent, said the curriculum was being rewritten this summer and would take into consideration parents' concerns.
Jennifer Alexander of 104 Kingwood Drive, Venetia, said she has been a resident of the township for seven years.
"I'm a proud mom of three boys, and I know what's best for them," Alexander told the board, adding she found some of the items included in the Human Growth and Development supplemental material was not suitable for some fifth-graders. Particularly objectionable, Alexander said, was a list of websites that referred middle-school students to various sites. That particular reference was removed from the fifth-grade curriculum and was not referred to in any classroom instruction. Alexander said she also objected to descriptions of bestiality, masturbation and group sex. She also objected to a listing, that has been removed, giving Mary Jo Podgurski's name and a telephone number. Podgurski is a nurse, educator, speaker and trainer who oversees the Teen Outreach through Washington Hospital. However, the curriculum at Peters Township is currently taught by educators from the district. Podgurski attended the meeting but did not speak publicly.
The district has used the materials provided through Teen Outreach for 20 years. Each parent must sign a permission slip for the student to be included in the program. Those who opt not to sign will have their student assigned to another activity. Classes are not a full or half semester. Participating fifth-graders attend only two 40-minute classes and sixth-graders attend three 40-minute classes during the school year.
A vast majority of the audience appeared to support Alexander's position that the curriculum was too personal and too advanced for those in fifth and sixth grades.
District policy prohibits audience members from addressing anyone by specific name. Hence, Alexander and others who spoke, referred to Podgurski as "her." As for the inclusion of Podgurski's name and a telephone number, Alexander said, "I don't know her, and I don't want her to contact my son."
Alexander said her husband and she would address any questions their sons may have.
"Our children do not need this information at this age," Alexander said.
Roxanne Zeisloft of 301 Molly Drive also expressed her displeasure at the literature and curriculum involving Human Growth and Development. She told the board she was "upset" with the vagueness of the permission slip, adding she was amazed that when the permission slip for the 2013-14 school year arrived last week, it came in a "sealed envelope."
Parent Kathy LaBellarte of 113 Singletree Drive, Venetia, said she was "outraged" at much of the content, detailing sex, masturbation and orgasms.
"This could encourage them to go home to their bedrooms" and try some of the items in the book. LaBellarte said some of the information dealt with abortions, all without parental approval.
She said, as one who is pro-life, that the morning after pill is considered a form of abortion and there are side effects to the pill that the school district has not considered. LaBellarte said she objected to references to transgender, homosexual and lesbian individuals and that she heard teachers were not to refer to the family unit as only husband and wife.
"This is an all-out assault on family values," LaBellarte said.
There were those who supported the curriculum and the need for children to learn sex education from those trained in the subject. During those addresses to the board, several audience members groaned and were otherwise disruptive to the speeches.
Parent Clarence McGee of 141 Meadowbrook Circle said he preferred to teach his children about sex and sexuality from "Bible-based information" that puts forth "God's interest first."
Linda Kelly of Washington was given permission to speak after consultation with the district's solicitor Jack Cambest to speak as a non-township resident.
As a nurse for 35 years and most recently as a labor and delivery nurse, she said children need to know the correct facts rather than learning about sex and sexuality on the streets or from their friends. Some of her comments were met with groans from the audience.
After nearly an hour of discussion, Cindy Golembiewski, board president, told the audience the curriculum would be addressed this summer. Parents would be asked to be part of the process and they will be notified by an e-mail from the district.
Following the meeting, Podgurski said she has always believed parents make the right decisions about what their children learn. She stressed that no student is required to participate and that any parent may opt out from having their student attend.
Also attending, but not speaking publicly, was James Longo, chair of the education department at Washington & Jefferson College. His education credential are lengthy.
"There is no one I have more faith in or confidence in than Dr. Podgurski," Longo said following the meeting. "She's done more good for more children than anyone I've ever met personally or professionally. We are very blessed to have her."
In information provided by Podgurski before the meeting, she said her mission has been "viciously and stealthily attacked" in the past several weeks through emails and other communications among some parents. In the past month, Podgurski said her work, character, professionalism and motivation were questioned by a group of parents. She called the attacks "personal and brutal."
"I am transparent and open to discuss any parent's needs yet none of these attackers gave me an opportunity to defend my work," Podgurski said. "They used emails and nonschool sanctioned meetings to distort and take my words out of context. I have been called degrading, disrespectful, disgusting and immoral."

Brenna Wise, Vincentian's 6-1 sophomore center, scored 18 points and the Royals, the top-seeded team in Class A, rolled to a 59-15 victory over West Greene in a first-round girls game at Chartiers Valley.
Vincentian (22-1) dominated from start to finish, leading 22-2 after one quarter and 35-4 at halftime. The Royals remained undefeated against Class A opponents. Their only loss came in the regular-season finale against Class AAAA Gateway.
West Greene (13-10) struggled all night against Vincentian's suffocating full-court pressure defense. The Pioneers committed 40 turnovers and didn't make their first field goal until more than nine minutes into the game.
When the Pioneers did break the full-court pressure, they were able to get the ball inside to the low post, but too often couldn't get a shot to fall. The offense the Pioneers displayed in a win over Clairton in the preliminary round Saturday wasn't there against Vincentian.
West Greene coach Jordan Watson knew his team faced a difficult challenge, but he did find some positives.
"I thought we did a decent job on Wise. She came in needing 22 points for 1,000 (for her career), and we didn't want that to happen against us," said Watson, who loses only one senior, point guard Emily Stoll, from the only team in the Washington-Greene area to win a playoff game in each of the last two seasons.
"I'm proud of our girls. We won one more game than last year, and while it's tough to replace a point guard like Emily, we do have a lot coming back. We have a player at every spot who has at least some starting experience."
Madison Raber led West Greene with eight points.
Kiersten Elliott scored 10 for Vincentian.
Serra 85, Jefferson-Morgan 45: A 22-5 run in the second quarter sparked Serra to an 85-45 victory over Jefferson-Morgan in a WPIAL Class A playoff.
Megan Sieg scored 18 points and Katie Sieg added 15 for Serra (21-2), who outscored JM 51-31 in the second half.
Kayla Yorko tossed in 16 points to lead Jefferson-Morgan (10-14). Jessica Taylor chipped in with 11.
Central Valley 59, South Fayette 50: Madi Rowan scored a game-high 35 points to power Central Valley to a 59-50 victory over South Fayette in a WPIAL Class AAA playoff game.
Seairra Barrett added 14 for CV (18-4), who outscored South Fayette 37-23 through the middle two quarters.
Kristen Hardt paced South Fayette (15-8).
Belle Vernon 60, Greensburg Salem 40: The Slagus sisters, Jessica and Kaitlyn, each had double-doubles to lead Belle Vernon to a 60-40 victory over Greensburg Salem in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAA girls basketball playoffs.
Jessica Slagus had 21 points and 18 rebounds and Kaitlyn had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Jaguars (16-6). Claire Oberdorf led Greensburg Salem (16-6) with 12 points.
Rochester 46, Monessen 37: Denni McFrazier had 18 points as Rochester eliminated Monessen from the Class A playoffs with a 46-37 win at Woodland Hills High School.
Kala Desong added 16 points for the Rams (12-11), who opened the second half with a 15-9 run to open up a 10-point lead entering the fourth quarter.
Mariah Ward had 16 points, and Tara Grogan had 12 for Monessen (9-13).

The cellphone was supposed to make our lives easier.
I remember when I got my first one. I was only going to use it for emergencies. Suddenly, "bored and sitting in traffic" became an emergency.
I like to use that time in the car productively, instead of concentrating on where I am going and what I am doing. I've walked out of the house on the phone looking for my phone. Distracted. I can't survive a trip to the grocery store without having to call someone and check in before I check out.
True Story: Way back in 1973, Martin Cooper, who invented the cellphone, tested the portable telephone on Sixth Avenue in New York City. He was almost run over by a car while crossing the street on said device. Cooper was literally the first person to be distracted while talking on a cellphone, and it was during the first call. By the way, the phone weighed two and a half pounds, and his first call was to his competitor at Bell Labs. It was a "nyah, nyah" call.
When I was at Disney, I was waiting for an executive to fall down an elevator shaft. Not one of them looked up from their Blackberries when getting on the elevator. Kids, Blackberries were cellphones without a lower case "i" in front of them.
Don't get me started on the applications or apps (as these young whippersnappers say these days). Now, it's even more distracting with games on your phone.
The device that was trying to save me time is taking up more time than ever. For a long time, I only used my phone to make calls and get annoyed by texts. By the way, if you need to send out information that is more than one paragraph long, just call me. I hate the back-and-forth text game. A problem that could be solved in two minutes takes 10. Planning a trip to the movies should not aggravate your carpal tunnel.
Recently, I started playing Words with Friends (a digital Scrabble game that isn't made by the Scrabble people). Prior to the invention of this new digital version, having "words with friends" was considered a bad thing. I think it's hilarious that they're coming out with the Words with Friends board game edition. Doesn't every family in America already have a Scrabble board?
While playing Words with Friends, I learned that a friend was using an app designed to cheat at the friendly game. There is a logarithm that gives you the best possible choices for your seven letter tiles. An app for your app! I would like to design an app that lets you know that someone is using the app to cheat. An app for your app for your app. Of course, then they could invent an app that lets them know that you know that they're cheating. An app for your app for your app for your app. And it could go on app infinitum, but I have to go. Someone is calling me.

Following the Winter with few opportunities for dry fly fishing in the Southern Appalachians, when the water warms, the action begins. Spring, for purposes of the angler begins when the water temperature exceeds 50 degrees.Early Spring mayflies are dark, such as those matched by the Blue Wing Olive, Quill Gordon and Blue Quill. You will soon see lighter mayflies like the March Brown and Hendrickson. You may see caddis, specifically the Little Black Caddis. These aquatic insects usually become active in February or early March. Mayfly patterns used in the early Spring include: Blue Wing Olive, Adams Parachute, Quill Gordon, Blue Quill, Blue Dun, Thunderhead and others.As we move into the warmer periods the mayflies become lighter. Small yellow stoneflies appear. You may still encounter the darker mayflies in the higher elevations where the water is colder, while finding lighter colored mayflies in the lower elevations. Some of the lighter mayflies include: Light Cahill, Light Hendrickson and other Sulphurs. You will start spotting the Yellow Sally Stonefly later in the Spring, along with Brown Stoneflies. If you find a high concentration of small yellow stoneflies, it may be time to try some of the many choices to mimic that insect. They would be the Neversink Caddis, Little Yellow Stone, Extended Body Yellow Stone or Yellow Stimulator. Throughout the Spring a Parachute Adams or Mr. Rapidan in various sizes will produce.If dry flies are not working well, or you prefer to fish with nymphs, there are many choices that work well during the Spring and most of the year. They include Copper John, Pheasant Tail, Prince, Tellico or Hare's Ear. You can use the bead head versions or those without beads. The flies you see here are our most popular and productive patterns. These are the flies we recommend for the Smokies during the Spring.

WAYNESBURG – You look healthy, maybe a bit tired, but otherwise appear well. You have learned to live with the aches and pains. And then one day you wake and find walking is extremely difficult. You'd rather stay in bed than see yet another physician who doubts you are ill.
When the diagnosis comes, you are relieved – at first. That relief diminishes when you find out that in the last 50 years, only one drug has been approved specifically for your disease. That is what Jonella Wozny Williamson still faces four years after learning she has lupus.
"They call it the great imitator. There is no one test for it. I have had symptoms for many years. I used to think, 'Am I just crazy? Am I just depressed?' Williamson said. "Looking back, I had symptoms going back to high school; joint pain, fatigue, and I saw doctors for it, but they didn't understand."
When it hurt too much to walk, she saw a rheumatologist. The sedimentation rate of her red blood cells was 99. This is a measurement of how quickly red blood cells settle to the bottom of a test tube in one hour. In women, a rate under 30 is considered normal. Williamson was referred to the Lupus Center of Excellence at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC.
There she was tested for the 11 factors of lupus. Only four, at any given time, indicate the presence of the disease. She had more than half.
"I have realized I just have to accept it and be positive about it and do what I can," she said. Talking and educating people about lupus is one way she feels empowered.
She takes the lone lupus-specific drug, Benlysta. It was approved by the FDA in 2011, so there hasn't been enough time to tell if it is a success. Corticosteroids are known to ease symptoms of the disease. Williamson takes a low daily dose. However, there are side effects. Her kidneys, heart and liver have to be monitored.
Plaquenil, a malaria drug, has helped some patients, although lupus is in no way a contagious disease. Those who have contagious conditions, such as colds, flu, etc., are a threat to Williamson, not the other way around.
"With lupus, the part of the white blood cells that fight infection can't tell what's broken and what's not. Most people want to strengthen their immune system when they get sick," Williamson said. "To strengthen my immune system would actually be bad. I want my immune system to be calmed down because my immune system is trying to kill me."
Prescriptions other than Benlysta that are prescribed for lupus may not be covered by insurance. Without her husband Ben's insurance, Williamson said she would be in big trouble. It covers these other drugs. Without them to control symptoms, it could lead to everything from a heart attack to her kidneys shutting down, she said.
Williamson said one of the hardest aspects of the disease has been realizing her limitations. The 1990 Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Queen, 1990 Miss Rain Day and founder of the Daughters of Grace Christian Women's Choir is used to being on the go.
"I feel like I am busy now. I look back and think I used to be really busy," she said. "I am certified to teach elementary English but I'm not doing that anymore. I used to give music lessons. I had over 40 students at one time. I'm not able to do that right now. I have had to learn to say no."
That was a tough lesson, she said, but, she has come to realize that she can't live her life apologizing for her illness.
The disease ebbs and flows in what are known as flares. Months can go by where one feels almost normal, Williamson said. Then a flare takes place.
Inflammation around the lining of the lungs has been one of the most difficult symptoms for Williamson. When it happens, the longtime vocalist doesn't have the breath support to hit the big notes that have become her signature but it hasn't stopped her from doing what she loves. She sings when she can, dropping octaves when necessary.
"The Daughters of Grace is food for my soul. It is the one thing I am not going to give up, no matter what," she said.
Singing, along with running, keeps her in a calming and positive place, she said. Williamson recently completed her second half marathon.
"I told my doctor I was going to run a half marathon in January and she said, 'I'm not sure this is such a great idea.' She was worried about my kidneys. For now, I feel like if I can do it I have to try. It's keeping me going for now. Running is my God time. Whenever my body is occupied the Lord can deal with my mind. One thing I let lupus steal from me for a long time was my joy," she said, teary eyed. She won't let that happen again.
Williamson recently started a blog to document her journey with lupus, running, and lessons she's received from God. It's titled "A Wild Shieldmaiden of the North." She also participates in several online support groups for lupus. Williamson has not found a Greene County support group for the disease. She said she only knows of a couple others in the county with lupus, "but someone you know has lupus, whether you realize it or not," she said.
There are believed to be 1.5 million Americans and 5 million others worldwide who have a form of lupus, according to the Lupus Foundation of America.
"One medical person said to me, 'you know that's (lupus) not really real. You just need to get over it.' I think, especially younger people, struggle with that, with people not believing them and the loss of friends from lupus," she said. "When you say you can't go out they just think you are tired. It isolates you. You feel alone."
Fortunately, Ben and her close friends get it and are there for her, especially Ben, who, she said, helps her keep her joy.
"Some days it is like walking through peanut butter as far as my brain is concerned. One day I could not think of the word refrigerator. I said to Ben, 'You know, that cold box we put food in,' " she said. "I was embarrassed to talk at times. Some days I have to pull over and think, 'Which way do I need to turn to get to dad's house?' When that happens it isn't a good idea to drive." For most of five months last year, she didn't.
"Being completely lost all of a sudden is a terrifying feeling when it happens. I take a lot longer now checking, double, triple checking things. It is a tough pill to swallow," she said. "You have to be careful not to let the lupus define you. I am not lupus."
May is National Lupus Awareness Month. To learn more about lupus, visit the Lupus Foundation of America website at www.lupus.org.

VA regional offices shut down
The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced it is placing more than 7,000 employees on furlough, effective Oct. 8 – a move that will eliminate public access to all 56 of its Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) regional offices.
As a result of the furloughs, VBA can no longer conduct personal interviews and hearings, process GI Bill benefits, offer educational or vocational counseling, or provide outreach activities and programs – including VetSuccess on Campus. The reduced work force also means that American Legion service officers are unable to use office space allocated to them at the regional offices.
Daniel M. Dellinger, national commander of The American Legion, expressed outrage at the latest impact of the government shutdown on veterans. "Because Congress and the White House refuse to speak to each other, our country's veterans are suffering more with each passing day of this extremely dangerous impasse," he said. "Now we've reached the point where VA can't even process benefits claims for our men and women who served in uniform. Our nation's leaders need a reality check. Do they really think they are serving the best interests of our veterans – or the best interests of all Americans – by forcing government agencies to shut down?"
On Oct. 4, Dellinger held a press conference at the World War II Memorial in Washington, a memorial that was initially closed to World War II veterans and is still closed to the public. He told reporters that the House of Representatives, the Senate and President Obama were all to blame for the shutdown.
Besides the 7,000 VBA workers furloughed, VA has also placed more than 2,700 Office of Information Technology workers on furlough. This means that all development of VA software has ceased, including work on the Veterans Benefits Management System, which VA Secretary Eric Shinseki has repeatedly identified as a key component to eliminating the claims backlog.
In a statement, VA said claims processing will continue until funding is exhausted, "which is projected to happen in late October." Mandatory overtime for claims processors, scheduled to continue until Nov. 16, has also been abruptly halted.
VA employees who staff the department's compensation and pension call centers are still on the job. Veterans who want to file benefits claims or check on a claim's status can still do so by calling (800) 827-1000.
VBA also announced it will no longer be able to respond to congressional inquiries until appropriations have been restored.
Shinseki is scheduled to testify Oct. 9 at a House Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearing that will examine the impact of the current government shutdown on VA operations.

Two men were arrested Wednesday morning by state police after one of them allegedly led a trooper on a chase and the other allegedly helped him hide from police.
Earle Clifford Williams, 27, of 120 Church St., Washington, is charged in the chase. Scott Anthony Domske, 33, of 414 Forrest Ave., Chartiers Township, faces charges including hindering apprehension.
The chase began about 10:30 a.m. on Interstate 70 near the Jessop Place exit in Canton Township. Trooper Kevin DeJulius was stationary operating radar on I-70 eastbound when he clocked a sport utility vehicle going 80 mph. Williams later was identified as the driver.
DeJulius activated the lights and siren on the cruiser in an attempt to stop the vehicle as it merged onto Interstate 79 northbound. Williams accelerated, increasing his speed to 100 mph, police said.
Williams exited the highway at the Racetrack Road exit and then got back on the highway, continuing north at an excessive speed. He then got off the highway again, this time at the Houston exit, turning left on Route 519 while still traveling at a high speed and running vehicles off the road.
Police said Williams then traveled on several streets before making a right onto Pike Street in Houston. He continued to speed, almost causing several crashes, police said. He then turned right onto North Johnson Road before turning onto Forrest. Williams then pulled the vehicle into the yard of Domske's home. Domske is the registered owner of the vehicle.
Williams got out of the vehicle, ignored DeJulius' orders to stop and get on the ground and ran into Domske's house. A minute later, Domske came out of the house and got into his vehicle. Domske ignored an order to get on the ground by DeJulius while the trooper had his gun pointed at him.
Police said Domske got in the vehicle, backed it out of the yard and parked it in the driveway. He got out of the vehicle, again ignored orders to get on the ground and went back inside his home, police said.
When backup arrived and police surrounded the house, Domske and an elderly man left the home. They were ordered on the ground.
Police learned a man matching Williams' description was seen running by construction workers in the area. When police asked Domske where Williams was, Domske said Williams had run into his house and asked him to hide him before running out the back door.
Domske told police he believed the man's name was Eric, and that Eric's girlfriend, Brooke, lived nearby. A Chartiers Township police officer told state police they were aware of a Brooke who lived at 616 Regent St. Police went to the home, and Brooke Johnson allowed troopers to enter and search the residence. Williams was found hiding in a third-floor attic crawl space.
Police found a piece of suspected crack on the seat of the vehicle. Domske's grandfather gave police permission to search the home. Police found drug paraphernalia in Domske's bedroom.
Williams is charged with causing or risking a catastrophe, fleeing or attempting to elude police, possession of crack, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, driving with a suspended license and 20 traffic violations including speeding and careless driving.
Domske is charged with disorderly conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evidence, hindering apprehension and allowing or permitting violation of title for allowing Williams to drive his vehicle.
Both men were arraigned before District Judge David Mark. Williams was placed in the Washington County jail on $100,000 bond. Domske is in jail on $50,000 bond. A preliminary will be held before Mark May 1.

For a woman about to give birth, the worst thing she could possibly hear is, "There seems to be a problem."
On April 11, with more than 30 doctors surrounding her, Erin Everett, 23, a former Waynesburg woman, gave birth to a son, Wyatt William Wansor. It was a delivery that quickly became a specialized one due to the delicate condition of the newborn baby.
"It was terrifying. I had no idea if he was going to make it or if I was going to make it," she said. "When I woke up he was gone. They took him to Children's Hospital (in Lawrenceville) right after and I didn't get to see him for two days." Everett was about three miles away at Magee Womens Hospital.
There were no problems with her pregnancy, that is, until a routine ultrasound revealed what turned out to be a lymphatic malformation. A lymphatic malformation is a mass in the head or neck that results from an abnormal formation of lymphatic vessels. Lymphatic vessels are small canals that lie near blood vessels and help carry tissue fluids from within the body to the lymph nodes and back to the bloodstream, according to Children's Hospital.
At that first ultrasound, like most first-time parents, Everett was excited. She believed it would simply result in her finding out the sex of her unborn child. Instead, she was told there may be a problem.
"They said they saw something on his neck. I was 18 weeks pregnant. After that I began to have ultrasounds once a week. They were watching really carefully until they found out a little bit more and then a little more," she said. "They told me that everything they said was basically a guess. It is a genetic condition, not hereditary. It is a rare birth defect when the fetus is forming its lymphatic system. Something just didn't go right."
Everett originally intended to deliver Wyatt at West Penn Hospital. When the malformation showed itself, she was forced to change her plans. Magee and Children's Hospitals were consulted and they worked together to establish the game plan to bring Wyatt into the world.
Since his birth two months ago, Wyatt has been through quite a bit. The lymphatic tissue under his tongue was affected and required debulking. Debulking is a procedure Wyatt will undergo multiple times as doctors work to remedy the large malformation on the right side of his neck and face. It is essentially the removal of a portion of the mass. They will take as much as he can handle at one time, Everett said.
Along with the debulking, Wyatt's treatment also involves schlerotherapy, a less invasive procedure, where a needle is inserted into the area to chemically shrink it. But a month ago, while preparing to go home, Wyatt developed an infection.
"We left the hospital for four days and went to the Children's home starting to prepare to go home when he developed the infections. We've been back here (at Children's Hospital) since May 19," she said.
A drain had to be surgically inserted to remove fluid buildup to relive the pain and discomfort brought on by the infection. Physicians followed the procedure with three days of schlerotherapy to the area.
"They can't remove every single (cyst). There are a lot of smaller ones inside the large one," Everett said. "There will still be traces left for the rest of his life. It technically won't all go away, but from a cosmetic standpoint he'll look perfectly normal."
Everett said the traces mean Wyatt is more susceptible for infections in those areas as he ages. Right now, the focus is on getting Wyatt ready to go home to await his procedures every couple of months. Although Wyatt has managed to take a bottle, he is still not taking in as much nutrients as doctors would like. Everett said the experience is not a very pleasant one for her son. To help, on June 14, a gastrostomy tube, or G-Tube, was inserted into Wyatt's abdomen that carries fluids and calories directly to his stomach.
"They really don't know how long it will take (to remove the malformation). They will remove as much as they can each time until his body has (signaled it's) had enough," she said. "The doctors are estimating another six months or so but it could be more or less."
Everett and her mother, Elaina Zitny, have both been certified to take care of Wyatt's tracheotomy tube. Zitny works full time so Everett will be placing her career as a financial planner on hold to handle the primary care of Wyatt. She currently lives with Zitny in her Washington home.
"Wyatt has been amazing. He sometimes looks like he is in pain but I think that's because it's heavy. But, that's all he knows. Once it's removed he will probably realize that. He's a happy baby other than that," she said. "We're so lucky he's fixable. I look around the hospital at some of the other kids and we're really lucky. We are blessed to have him in the situation he's in. It could be a lot worse."

Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, seniors Kenny Boynton, Erik Murphy and Mike Rosario will leave the Gator program with a winning legacy.
Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, Florida seniors Kenny Boynton, Erik Murphy and Mike Rosario will leave the Gator program with a winning legacy.
But the three senior starters can achieve something more special Wednesday on Senior Night against Vanderbilt.
A win against the Commodores at the O'Connell Center would give Florida its fourth outright Southeastern Conference regular season title in school history. It would also give UF its first outright SEC regular season title since 2011, making Boynton, Murphy and Rosario (a practice-squad player in 2011 due to NCAA transfer rules) the first senior class to win two outright SEC titles.
"That says a lot with what they've been a part of," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "They've been a part of really good things here."
Coming off back-to-back NIT seasons in 2008 and 2009, Murphy and Boynton will leave UF leading the Gators to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Rosario, a transfer from Rutgers, will be a part of three NCAA Tournament teams, including two as an active player.
"Those guys understand that the game is bigger than the Senior Night for us as a team with what's on the line and playing against Vanderbilt," Donovan said. "I think any time it's a senior's last home game, that's always meaningful."
The three seniors have stepped up at different times this season, helping to set a balanced tone to UF's offense. Rosario had led UF in scoring 13 times this season, while Boynton had led UF six times and Murphy five times.
Here's how the three seniors, who will be honored during pregame ceremonies, reflected on their UF careers:
Kenny Boynton
A heralded McDonald's All-American recruit out of Pompano Beach, the 6-foot-2 Boynton was projected as a potential one-and-done player out of high school. He's started at shooting guard since he first put on a Gator uniform as a freshman.
"Everything happens for a reason," Boynton said. "I think in the four years I've been here, I think I've gotten better as a player. I definitely didn't think when I signed here I'd be here four years, but I am here and I decided to stay."
In that span, Boynton has climbed his way up the UF record charts. He is UF's all-time leader in 3-pointers made (320), second in scoring (1,940 points), first in games started (133) and first in minutes played (4,414).
"Coach Donovan has pushed me to a level that I didn't have in me," Boynton said. "In two-a-days, when we didn't think we had the energy to practice. ... I've met some great people here. I honestly have enjoyed my four years here."
Statistically, Boynton isn't having the senior season he envisioned. His scoring (12.5 ppg) and 3-point shooting percentage (32.8 percent) is down from a season ago (15.9 ppg, 40.7 percent). But he hasn't let it impact his play on the defensive end of the floor or his passing ability (376 career assists).
Boynton's career highlights include scoring 27 points as a freshman in an NCAA Tournament game against BYU and 20 more points against Norfolk State during UF's Elite Eight run last season.
"I want them to say that I was a winner," Boynton said. "In my four years here, I've tried my best to win as much as I could. Definitely, I want to go out this year as a winner with winning a national championship."
Erik Murphy
The 6-foot-10 Murphy was at a crossroads at the end of his sophomore season. After coming off the bench his first two seasons, different people were telling him he should transfer.
"I had a lot of people telling me a lot of different things," Murphy said. "When it really came down to it, I talked with coach and the thing he said was, 'What do you really want to do? It's your life. You've got to make a decision for yourself.' For myself, I loved it here and wanted to stay here. When I really thought about it like that, it was a pretty easy decision."
It's worked out for the Gators as well. Since becoming a starter as a junior, Murphy has provided a mismatch as a power forward who could step outside and shoot from 3-point range. This season, Murphy is leading the SEC in 3-point shooting percentage (46.4 percent) and has expanded his game with his ability to rebound, defend and score inside.
Murphy also has shown toughness, playing part of the season through a broken rib. Overall, Murphy said he's glad he stuck it out and finished his career as a Gator.
"There's so much I can take away, just life lessons, basketball lessons," Murphy said. "It's been a crazy four years. It's been a roller-coaster ride. But it's been the best four years of my life. There's so much I can take away from it, I really can't narrow it down to any specifics right now."
Mike Rosario
Rosario said he knew the transition was going to be tough when he transferred from Rutgers to Florida. At Rutgers, Rosario was the primary scoring option, averaging 16.7 points per game as a sophomore while playing close to 34 minutes per game.
"I knew that coming into this situation, I was going to have to basically do a whole new chapter," Rosario said. "I just looked at it as a challenge and just being a part of this program and this winning tradition here was going to be a different standard."
But the relationship between Rosario and Donovan didn't click right away. Playing behind Boynton, Erving Walker and Bradley Beal, Rosario didn't start as a junior. He missed 25 practices and five games due to various minor ailments and never fully accepted his role as UF's sixth man.
"When I first got here, I didn't really understand coach, as far as — you have to be responsible for everything you do, be on time for everything," Rosario said. "It was a different transition because I was so used to, basically — if you give me an inch, I'd take a yard when I was at Rutgers. It was different playing for Coach Billy. It was his way or the highway."
With Walker and Beal both gone this season, Rosario came into camp with a better attitude. He won a starting job during the preseason by playing hard on both ends of the floor. Rosario is still erratic at times, but he's also currently UF's leading scorer at 12.9 points per game. In SEC games, Rosario has averaged 13.7 points.
Rosario said Senior Night for him will be emotional, considering what the Jersey City, N.J., native has overcome.
"I had a lot of people doubt that I could make it up to this point," Rosario said. "There's a lot of people back home saying that by me making this transition, moving from Rutgers to Florida, that everything is not going to work out.
"I just had to be patient and wait until my turn. I knew that it was going to come if I just kept in the process and kept working hard. I just never lost sight of that: getting better every day."

Notes: Florida (14-0 at the O'Connell Center) can close out the regular season with a perfect home record. It would be UF's first unbeaten home mark since going 18-0 during the 2006-07 season. … Florida is 22-12 against Vanderbilt under Billy Donovan and has won 14 of its last 15 at home against the Commodores. … The Gators rank third in the nation in scoring defense, holding opponents to 53.4 points per game. The Gators have held 11 opponents under 50 points and 20 opponents under 60 points. … Offensively, Florida will be looking to get back on track. The Gators have an assist-to-turnover ratio of 42 to 39 over their last four games and have shot just 27.9 percent (24 of 86) from 3-point range during that span. … Florida junior forward Casey Prather is averaging 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in his last seven games off the bench. … Vanderbilt is 4-7 on the road this season, but has won its last two on the road against Mississippi State and Auburn. … Defending the 3-point line will be important for the Gators. The Commodores are shooting 35.7 percent from 3-point range and make 7.9 3-pointers per game.

DeVon Walker is transferring after one season, becoming the second UF basketball player from the 2012 class to leave the program in a span of six days.
DeVon Walker's brief Florida basketball career is over.
Walker is transferring after one season, becoming the second UF basketball player from the 2012 class to leave the program in a span of six days.
The 6-foot-6 Walker played sparingly as a freshman, scoring 20 points with 17 rebounds and four blocked shots. Walker averaged just four minutes per game.
"DeVon has a bright future, and we hope for the best for him wherever he chooses to go," Florida coach Billy Donovan said.
Walker told the Lakeland Ledger that the main reason he left UF was due to playing time. When Walker told coaches of his decision to transfer last week, they asked him to take more time and reconsider.
"That was the plan, for me to stay," Walker told the Ledger's Aimee Sachs. "But after further thinking away from everybody and their opinions, I had time to think alone with my family. … It was on my mind after the season. It was on my mind and I was back and forth. Today was the last word."
On Monday, Walker tweeted his own farewell: "One of the best years of my life. New friends, new experiences, & new knowledge. Thankful for the opportunity at UF. Goodbye."
At just 191 pounds, Walker struggled adapting to more physical play in the SEC. With forward Casey Prather injured late in a game against Tennessee, Walker was pressed into emergency duty late and had rebounds stripped out of his hands by more physical Vol players.
Walker projected to play next season behind sophomore transfer forward Dorian Finney-Smith (6-8) and Prather (6-6).
Coming out of high school, Walker had offers from Alabama, Connecticut, UCF and Kansas State. But he chose to enroll at Florida because he wanted to play close to home. Walker said he's open to playing anywhere as long as it's a winning program that gives him more opportunities to play on the wing.
Walker roomed this season with former point guard Braxton Ogbueze, who also left UF last week due to playing time issues. Walker said his decision had nothing to do with Ogbueze's transfer.
"A lot of people may think that, but no, that wasn't the reason," Walker told the Ledger.
The Gators have had seven players transfer since 2009, a list that includes Ogbueze (undecided), Allan Chaney (Virginia Tech, High Point), Kenny Kadji (Miami), Eloy Vargas (Miami Dade College, Kentucky), Ray Shipman (UCF) and Walter Pitchford (Nebraska).
Forward Cody Larson also left the program last fall for personal reasons, but hasn't decided to resume his basketball career. In 2010, after one season at UF, guard Nimrod Tishman left the program to play professionally in his native Israel.
Guards Michael Frazier and Dillon Graham are UF's only two remaining players from the 2012 class. But Florida will stay deep in the backcourt with the addition of incoming freshman McDonald's All-American point guard Kasey Hill and Rutgers transfer Eli Carter.
With both Walker and Ogbueze gone, Florida now 11 of 13 scholarship spots filled for the 2013-14 season.

DONORA – A group of local legislators Friday vowed to abolish Pennsylvania's current Small Games of Chance law that has put local veterans organizations, fire departments and other nonprofit organizations at a disadvantage.
"We're going to fight, absolutely fight, to abolish this legislation," said state Rep. Peter J. Daley, D-California, who called for and led the legislative contingent at a news conference at the Donora American Legion.
Joining Daley were state Sen. Tim Solobay, D-Canonsburg, and state Reps. Jesse White, D-Cecil, Brandon Neuman, D-Canonsburg, Rick Saccone, R-Elizabeth, Ted Harhai, D-Monessen, and newly elected Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Waynesburg.
Under the changes, organizations must contribute 70 percent of gaming proceeds for "public interest purposes," but the law does not define what those are. The remainder of the proceeds can be used by the club for a list of nine general operating expenses, including capital improvements, property taxes, utilities and insurance. Prior to the changes, the organization could not keep any of the proceeds.
While the new law increased the prize limits for daily and weekly drawings and monthly raffles, organization leaders say it's not worth the hassle as organizations are required to keep records of the names and addresses of any winner of more than $100; withhold and remit income taxes on winnings; report the number of W-2G forms issued; and report total gross winnings that were reported on the W-2G form.
There are also stipulations that only organization members may sell tickets and only within the club.
Daley, who introduced legislation to repeal the changes to the law, said he has heard from numerous organizations and many of them are worried that the changes, especially the reporting requirements, could lead to the organizations closing.
In response, Daley started a petition campaign this year against the legislation. He said he has obtained thousands of signatures that he plans to send to Harrisburg in favor of revamping the law.
"My legislation will repeal the act, which as we've learned since the passage of the new law, wasn't properly vetted with local organizations. By repealing the act, we will allow time for all stakeholders to come to the table and work out changes that will accomplish the original intent of the updates to the law," Daley stated.
However, the Legislature won't be able to do anything about the law until next year, as the legislative session ended Friday. In the meantime, Daley and his colleagues plan to call on Gov. Tom Corbett and demand a moratorium on the reporting requirements that are to take effect before then.
"We're going to plead with the governor to use good sense," Daley said.
"Our intent was never to do what's going on right now," said Solobay. "Our intent was to get money back into your hands."
A firefighter for 35 years, Solobay said he understands the need for volunteer departments to raise a substantial amount of money to keep afloat. "It's just not working," he said.
White said the legislation was formulated by legislators who had more book smarts than street smarts.
"It needs a good common-sense approach," he explained.
George Mattis, a supervisor in Redstone Township, Fayette County, and a member of the Republic Volunteer Fire Department, said under the current legislation, "there's no way any organization can exist."
"People don't want to fill out all the forms," he added.
According to Mattis, the fire department operates on a $140,000 annual budget, of which about $40,000 comes from state grants or local funding. The remainder comes from fundraising efforts such as bingos and tickets.
Russ Miller, commander of American Legion Post 301 in Connellsville, Fayette County, said without immediate changes, his post could face closure after 85 years of existence.
"We're dying," he told the legislators. "We need help."
Miller pointed out that there are four or five clubs in Fayette County that are ready to close, and he doesn't want his post to join them. The American Legion in Brownsville closed its doors a few months ago.
While many people link the Small Games of Chance law only to fire departments and social organizations, Frankie Bernard pointed out that there are other nonprofit organizations that are being hit.
A volunteer with Community Action Southwest and the Washington County 4-H program, Bernard pointed out that both organizations rely heavily on such fundraising efforts, but heightened restrictions have led them to quit selling tickets and holding raffles.
"They couldn't deal with the paperwork," she said. "The law is not only affecting firefighters, it's affecting children."

BRIDGEVILLE – At times, it seemed more like a dogfight than a wrestling match.
Canon-McMillan and Franklin Regional loaded up their best shots and each one packed a wallop and did its damage.
Canon-McMillan got the final blow delivered when Dalton Macri pinned Don Turner in one minute at 120 pounds to send the Big Macs into WPIAL history.
Canon-McMillan (15-0) became the first Class AAA team to win four straight WPIAL Team Tournament championships by defeating Franklin Regional, 31-26, Saturday night at Chartiers Valley High School.
North Allegheny is the only other Class AAA team to win three in a row, from 1986-88. Burrell extended its Class AA record with a seventh straight title by beating South Fayette, 35-30, earlier in the day.
The top three teams in each classification advanced to the PIAA Team Tournament, which gets under way Monday with first-round matches. Canon-McMillan won't wrestle again until Thursday afternoon in the Giant Center, the prize for being the District 7 champion. Canon-McMillan is the defending state team champion, winning the individual team tournament title last March and capturing the tournament title last February.
But the focus was on the WPIAL trophy yesterday.
"We made history," said Connor Schram, who won by technical fall at 132. "We went 4-for-4."
The win was in doubt until the last bout, Macri's pin. The lead changed hands five times and the dual meet was tied twice. Franklin Regional's final lead was in the 13th bout, when Kyle Berk won a wild 10-8 decision over Josh Minor to give the Panthers a 26-25 lead.
That win came right after Brendon Price took a 15-0 technical fall from Andrew Marshall at 106 to put C-M up, 25-23.
"We wanted this so badly for the kids," said Canon-McMillan head coach Chris Mary. "There were 14 heroes out there. My assistant Glenn Haynes set the matchups. He does so much studying for these matches."
Mary made two surprise moves in the lineup: He inserted Cody Wiercioch at 195 pounds – he's normally at 170 – and Wiercioch responded the way he usually does: with a big win. Wiercioch pinned Justin Rose in 2:27 to pull C-M to within three, 20-17.
The other move was switching 220-pounder Alex Campbell with heavyweight Angelo Broglia. Broglia responded with a 6-3 victory over Brett Zanotto at 220 and Campbell held Luke Fleck, one of the top heavyweights in the WPIAL, to just a 3-2 ultimate tiebreaker decision.
"The bonus points we saved were so important," said Mary.
Franklin Regional (17-3) built a 20-8 lead by pounding the Big Macs through the middle. Tyler Smith had a technical fall over Nick Oberhaus at 138, Josh Maruca shut out Alex Hutchin, 6-0, at 145, and Josh Shields took a 13-4 major decision from William Pihiou, wrestling for the second time since missing three weeks with a shoulder injury.
"I told our guys before it started that I believed we could win," said Franklin Regional head coach Eric Mauser. "We wanted to stop them from winning their fourth team tournament championship. I thought we could win nine matches. It is what it is, but we had a couple of opportunities."
Sam Minor stopped the run with a 10-5 decision over Brandon Yant at 160.
The two teams traded decisions and Wiercioch went out to begin Canon-McMillan's comeback.
"We needed (that pin) to get the team up," Wiercioch said. "It means the whole season. This is what we're here to do: win a WPIAL championship and win a state championship."
Macri put the finishing touches on the dual meet with the pin. The Canon-McMillan bench erupted as did the large crowd of fans in the stands.
"I just shrunk (the situation) down to like I was going into the practice room," Macri said. "I wrestled just like it was practice. It was an uphill and downhill match. A lot of kids pulled off big wins. Everyone will see that I wrestled the last match, but it was a total team effort."

A person with good judgment might assume heroin addicts would steer away from stamp bags of the drug known on the streets to be laced with a powerful narcotic responsible for a string of recent overdose deaths.
But, the insanity of heroin addiction is best described when a heroin addict knows a certain bag of the drug is killing people, said Erich Curnow, a program specialist at the Washington County Drug and Alcohol Commission.
"The mentality of a heroin addict is, 'I'm going to get some of that,'" Curnow said last week, after a warning was issued that a narcotic-laced heroin has killed an alarming number of drug users in Washington and Allegheny counties.
In all, 50 people have died in Pennsylvania this year from overdose deaths after taking fake heroin or heroin cut with the painkiller fentanyl or its derivative, acetyl fentanyl, on the heels of a federal investigation that revealed the deadly mix had slipped into the United States from Canada, said Christine Cronkright, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania governor's office.
Six such deaths have been documented since May in Washington County and rulings are pending toxicology test results on as many as a dozen other recent suspected heroin overdose deaths, a spokeswoman for Coroner Tim Warco said. Another 15 heroin deaths linked to fentanyl have been recorded in Allegheny County, Cronkright said. Greene County Coroner Greg Rohanna said he has had some heroin overdose deaths, but none related to fentanyl.
Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs has issued a warning about fentanyl having been introduced to the heroin trade after it asked all coroners in the state to review their opioid overdose death cases and found the spike in such deaths.
The federal Centers for Disease Control issued its own alert upon learning the drug supply had killed 14 people this year in Rhode Island, Cronkright stated in a news release.
Pennsylvania asked for federal assistance after finding pockets of fentanyl-laced heroin, first in Lebanon County, where there was one such death this year and five nonfatal overdoses from the narcotic.
Fentanyl is a prescription drug used to relieve severe or chronic pain, particularly in cancer patients, or as a last-resort pain medication. It's distributed as a skin patch, lozenge, pill, shot, a film that dissolves in the mouth or intravenously.
As a recreational drug, acetyl fentanyl often resembles heroin. If a heroin user mistakes fentanyl for heroin and takes too much of the drug, the user is at high risk of a fatal overdose. During the last major fentanyl overdose outbreak in 2006, there were 269 deaths in Philadelphia alone, Cronkright stated.
The deaths come at a time when Washington County has been experiencing an alarming increase in the number of drug overdose deaths, having recorded 40 last year and 46 in 2011. That compares to just two in 1992.
Curnow said the county has seen the increase because it is on the border of West Virginia, a state with one of the worst prescription drug addiction problems, and Allegheny County, which has a high number of residents over age 50 who suffer pain and are given narcotics legally by physicians. Those drugs, including oxycontin, can be highly addictive in the wrong hands and lead users to heroin when they can't renew their supplies of them.
"The prescription pain pills flow freely here," Curnow said.
He said he's been lobbying Pennsylvania lawmakers to enact House Bill 317, which would create an prescription drug monitoring system like those in other states that alert physicians and pharmacists about patients who "doctor shop" and spend cash to get illegal supplies of narcotics.
Major dealers, Curnow said, are known to slip fentanyl into their heroin that isn't pure in order to increase its strength without the slightest care someone might die from their supplies.
"The enterprise wants the best on the street. The trade-off is someone might die," he said.

William Walter McGowan
Eighty Four dairy, beef farmer active in church, 4-H

Mr. McGowan was a 1969 graduate of Bentworth High School and attended California University of Pennsylvania, until he had a farm-related accident.
Active in dairy and beef farming his entire life, he was a fourth-generation farmer in the Eighty Four area.

He and his brother, Bruce, operated the dairy industry, disbursing the dairy herd several years ago, but maintained the beef herd as of today.
Mr. McGowan was a member of Pigeon Creek Presbyterian Church, Eighty Four, where he served as an elder and was superintendent of Pigeon Creek Presbyterian Cemetery for 26 years, retiring several years ago.
He was a member of 84 Advisory Council of Washington County Farm Bureau and Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. He also served on the Agway Committee and Farm Service Agency.
Mr. McGowan was very pleasant, always smiling and had a most wonderful memory.
Surviving, in addition to his mother, is a brother, Bruce E. McGowan, who resides on the family farm.
Friends are welcome from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday in Thompson-Marodi Funeral Home Inc., 809 Main Street, Bentleyville, 724-239-2255, where services will be held at 11 a.m., Monday, November 19, with the Rev. John Pipp, a cousin of Mr. McGowan, officiating. Interment will follow in Pigeon Creek Presbyterian Cemetery.

Murphy meets with local farmers over stalled farm bill
Don Gardner is considered one of the finest farmers in Washington County, where he was named 2013 Farmer of the Year by the Washington County Conservation District for the conservation work he performed on his land.
But Gardner, of Lone Pine, said he wouldn't last a day in farming without other sources of income, including subsidies farmers like him stand to lose with the federal farm bill in limbo in Congress.
"If I didn't have outside money, I could not afford to farm," he said on July 3 at a farmers town hall meeting in Amwell Township organized by U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy.
"Look, if we don't pass this farm bill, it's going to revert back to the 1930s," Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, said at the start of the meeting attended by a dozen people in the Amwell Township municipal building. While the bill passed the U.S. Senate, the $940 billion House version died 234-195 June 20.
Among the reasons the bill failed were concerns over cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, an increase in crop insurance subsidies, a dispute over reductions in the food stamps program and the bill's failure, according to some, to adequately address conservation concerns.
Local farmers expressed concerns on July 3 to Murphy that it didn't make sense for elected officials to be voting on farms and food stamps in the same bill, even though the U.S. Agriculture Department would be too small to exist if it just represented farmers. They also said the disaster program for drought relief needs to stay in existence.
"We don't need people who need food stamps voting on our farm bill," said Gardner, 82.
Murphy said he was surprised the farm bill died and blamed its failure on vocal minorities on the far left and far right. He said the far right was especially concerned about the perception the bill would have given subsidies to large corporate farmers.
Without a new bill, the government, Murphy said, will have to revert back to such old ways of thinking as purchasing powdered milk at auction.
"I think it's an important bill," Murphy said. "Will there be another farm bill? I don't know."
