Traffic surprises as Valley Brook roadwork begins
Traffic was flowing as well as could be expected on May 22 after the intersection at Old Washington and Valley Brook roads, and the ramp to and from Valley Brook to Washington roads in Peters Township were closed for a 14-month reconstruction and realignment project. More than 11,000 vehicles are now finding alternate routes.
Township police Chief Harry Fruecht said several hours after the road closure that he was pleasantly surprised at the lack of traffic congestion along the alternate routes, such as East McMurray Road. He used the word "shocked" at how smooth the traffic flowed but, he added fluctuations in traffic are being anticipated. The chief said police received only one call Wednesday regarding the closure.
The nearly $5 million project will continue until at least July 2014 with the result being a realigned and widened intersection with the ramp and Old Washington Road.
Shelly Belcher, a spokeswoman for the Peters Township School District, said since the actual closure did not occur until 8 a.m., students were already in classes at the high school and middle school, with both buildings being along East McMurray Road.
She called the morning rush to school "relatively uneventful."
Throughout the day, although traffic along the alternate routes was heavy, vehicles continued to flow.
A telephone call to Michael Silvestri, township manager, was not returned.

My mother, Evelyn Bernstein, is 89 years old. After a hip fracture in 2009, my family moved her from San Diego to Los Angeles, to be closer to us. We began to notice cognitive changes, which have increased to a state of substantial memory loss, delusional thinking, and disorientation. My mother was not only bright and articulate, she had the sharpest memory of anyone we knew. I am a psychologist in private practice, and I teach medical students, but nothing in my training or years of experience have prepared me for confronting what is known as an "ambiguous loss" of a loved one.
This is about my mother, Thelma, and the killer called Alzheimer's. My mother has end stage ALZHEIMER'S. None of the medication helped her. She remains at home with her handicapped husband due to medicaid denying her medical insurance which would pay for her to go to a nursing home. This is a family in crisis. I hope this can help someone.
Over 6 years ago my best friend and lover, my husband Donald, was diagnosed with dementia. It began with him not being able to remember how to manage a program as a engineer. This man holds a BS in engineering and MS in computer Science. He has managed projects for such companies as Boeing Commercial Aircraft company, in the Aerospace industry and finally in a small company close to his home. I begin to notice he forgot to turn off the stove, placing items in placese where they shouldn't be. He also began to forget to do simple things like lock the door.

Earlier today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee released a report on aid to Afghanistan. The report is a useful contribution to the ongoing review of our national efforts in Afghanistan. We agree that "cutting back our foreign aid budgets is not the most prudent solution," and that USAID and the State Department must have the resources necessary to ensure an effective transition as the military draws down.

Mt. Lebanon schools announce savings, look for more cuts
Mt. Lebanon neared a resolution to its budget quandary at the April 8 school board discussion meeting. The administration presented a new list of proposals to effectively close a $100,000 budget gap. Proposed savings total an estimated $630,405.
Board members opted to preserve the district's elementary foreign language program in its present form, as well as to implement student activities fees and increase the student parking fee from $50 to $75. Club sports such as hockey and lacrosse were spared funding cuts. The board also rejected the idea of increasing class sizes at the secondary level.
A host of other savings (such as reducing the cost of field maintenance, trimming costs associated with the facilities department and slimming technology department accounts) leaves the community facing a projected .54 mill tax increase.
Board member Jo Posti emphasized how grueling the budget process had become, not only for Mt. Lebanon but all Pennsylvania school districts. "Every district is seeing the same thing we are seeing," she said. "We have cut any fat there is in our budgets. We are cutting into muscle now."
Other board members continued to advocate shared sacrifice from district staff as the most effective long-term solution to the funding crunch.
Dale Ostergaard said the district had done well managing its discretionary spending but that this had been offset by rising personnel expenses. "What's driving our budget is people costs, plain and simple. The only real option left on the table is to request concessions from our employees in the district." He continued to advocate for a .25 mill tax increase. "The employees need to know the community has taken a significant hit. We faithfully gave salary increases throughout the recession – the worst recession since the Great Depression."
He said halving staff wage increases for the 2013-2014 school year would allow the district to hit his millage target.
Dan Remely echoed those statements. "We need your help," he said, addressing district staff. "It's the only way we will bring this system back into line."
Board member William Cooper, on the other hand, advocated for the full proposed .54 mill increase, comparing it to "two large pizzas" on a $100,000 house. He laid the blame for the pension crunch on the state and individual school districts, which held back pension contributions in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis.
If the board would like to further reduce millage, and the superintendent is unable to make headway with the union on pay concessions, the best option would be to use leftover fund balance to rein in taxes.
The board did not reach consensus on how much, if any, fund balance should be used to offset tax increases, as thinning budgetary reserves remain a concern.
The superintendent will present the board with a preliminary budget for approval next week. This budget must be made public for 30 days before receiving final approval in May.

- Holes by Louis Sachar
The movie I'm doing this review on is "Holes." I decided to do a review on this movie because it's one of my favorites. This movie is mainly about Stanley Yelnats gets sent away to a correctional camp for stealing shoes, that he was wrongly accused for. There family believes in this 100 year old curse that his great great grandfather put on them. In the end he finds a treasure chest that was meant for him all along, but throughout the whole movie they would look back into the past and tell the story of "kissing Kate Barlow." Which was one of my favorite characters, my other favorite character was Theodore aka "Arm pit."

South Fayette approves property sale to hospital
Commissioners in South Fayette Township unanimously approved the sale of 2.6 acres of property to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC Aug. 21. Earlier this summer, UPMC purchased the land adjacent to the former Star City theater building for $1.65 million. The adopted resolution assures that the township is in compliance with the tax code.
In 2009, the township used bond issue money to purchase the Star City property for more than $5 million. Of the $1.65 million UPMC paid for the property, $647,539 can be attributed to that 2009 bond issue.
According to Wayne Gerhold, bond council for the township, South Fayette can use the money as it pleases. The township has several options for how to use the money such as putting it in the general fund, the capital improvement fund or placing it into a fund to help pay the debt service on the 2009 bond issue, which is about $550,000 a year. Gerhold said that the township owes about $7.2 million on the bond issue.
After the vote to ratify the sale, resident Stacy Kosky asked commissioner, "What does that mean?"
"The resolution doesn't dictate how the money has to be spent," said township manager Ryan Eggleston.
Commissioner Joe Horowitz said options for how the money will be spent will be discussed at future public meetings.
Other business:
• Bob Fryer asked commissioners during the public comment portion of the meeting if the township is planning to widen an area of Washington Pike to help alleviate traffic coming from Bridgeville. The local business owner said a 400-yard portion of the road is in desperate need of widening especially with the addition of new retail developments in the township.
Fryer said PennDOT's plan right now is to add one lane, which would be an exclusive right-turn lane to I-79, to the bridge that connects Bridgeville with South Fayette.
• Commissioners voted to demolish two houses in the township. The houses are located on Dutch Hill and Morgan Hollow Roads, and according to Eggleston are in disrepair. A.W. McNabb, which was the low bidder at $10,800, was awarded the project to demolish both properties.
• Commissioners also adopted a schedule for the preparation of the township's 2014 budget.
All of the township's department heads must submit completed budget worksheets by mid-September. Eggleston will then meet with them to discuss their budgets. By Oct. 30, a draft budget will be submitted to commissioners.
• Workshop and voting meetings will be moved up a week from their normal dates in November and December. At the Nov. 6 workshop meeting, Eggleston will review the general and capital fund budgets. A public hearing will be held prior to the Nov. 13 voting meeting after which the board will consider approval of the draft budget. Further discussion will be held Dec. 4. Final adoption of the budget will occur Dec. 11.
• Commissioners approved a $29,000 change order for its paving project. The money will go toward repairs on Hickory Heights Drive including full-depth reclamation on the cul-de-sacs. Paving was expected to begin the week of Aug. 26 and be completed by Aug. 30.

Originally from Connecticut, Jim attended UConn for a year and half after graduating from high school in 1980. In 1982, he joined the Air Force and started a 23-year career working on radar systems. His work took him around the world — Germany, Italy, the Caribbean, Columbia, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, South Carolina, and finally, Virginia — he was stationed in all of them. Jim worked hard and eventually made the rank of Senior Master Sergeant.
Although my intentions when I started this blog were to focus on running and working out, I feel a need to express my thoughts and feelings about the effects of Alzheimer's disease. I spend most of the time in denial and I keep thinking the tests (Pet Scan & Spec Scan) were wrong. But deep down I know they were correct. Most people associate a terminal disease with pain and suffering, or at least I do, so perhaps that is the reason I am in such denial. I have been through many phases over the last couple of years since my diagnosis. (continue reading here)

I hope this helps someone out there who is living through this nightmare now as a caregiver and son or daughter of your loving Daddy.

Progress being made with SF Intermediate School
The new South Fayette Intermediate School is more than halfway completed. According to Dave Allen, construction superintendent for P.J. Dick, the district's construction management firm, the district has paid out about $16.5 million towards the new school and has a balance of about $8 million to finish the project.
Allen also informed the school board at the March 19 meeting that all the plumbing rough-ins have been completed in the new building, as well as a lot of the tile and masonry. The STEAM room, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and math, is also coming together, with its brightly-colored painted walls nearly complete.
HVAC chillers and rooftop units have been put into place on the new building and framing of the main entryway has also begun.
Allen went over several change orders for the project with the board, including changing a dock leveler from electric to manual and tying downspouts into the storm water system. Allen also talked about an issue of site remediation work that may need to be done in three areas of the site due to what he called "unsuitable soil."
Cassandra Renninger of Eckles Architecture said that the firm had "denoted areas that were soft spots" this past summer and was able to get a bid for how much it would cost to fix it. Last year, the bid was about $80,000, but the bid has since been lowered by negotiation, Renninger said.
Allen said the largest soft spot is near the bus road and others are near the road where the construction trailers are currently housed; another spot is in the loop in front of the building. The board will further discuss the soil issue and the other change orders at its March 26 meeting.
Also at the March 19 meeting, the board talked about an administrative recommendation to enter into an agreement to finance the Intermediate School network. The cost of the network would be about $130,800 and the wireless would cost about $55,600. District Director of Finance Brian Tony said the equipment would be financed over a five-year period.
The district is considering either Laurel Capital Corporation or PNC Equipment Finance. Tony said PNC's rate is 1.86 percent and Laurel Capital's is 1.87.
Tony said the payback difference would amount to about $65. He said Laurel Capital's prepayment penalty is one percent and PNC's is two percent, although both of the prepayment penalties for each company go away in two years. The board is expected to vote on the matter at the March 26 meeting. The cost of the network and wireless at the new school is included in the 2012-13 budget.

The Outdoor Classroom's geocaching event a success
The Outdoor Classroom is a nature center in Boyce Mayview Park, Upper St. Clair, next to the swimming pool and recreation center.
At a recent event, "Cache In, Trash Out," with the help of many volunteers, The Outdoor Classroom was able to dispose of a large pile of garbage and debris left behind from an old farm that was on the site from the 1940s to the 1980s. Metal was hauled up from the bottom of a hill and placed in a huge Dumpster provided by the Township of Upper St. Clair for the event.
Volunteers started to come at 9:45 a.m. and finished at around 2 p.m. Due to the volunteers' hard work, the pile was cleared in a much shorter amount of time than anticipated. More than 45 people came to the event, and most of them were geocachers. In case you aren't familiar with geocaching, it is a large ongoing treasure hunt of sorts.
Participants place small objects in sealed plastic containers hidden in nature or urban areas and leave hints on the geocache website, www.geocaching.com. Other geocachers can look on the website to see these clues and search for the treasure. If they find it, they can sign their name as a record of their accomplishment on a piece of paper inside the container, or replace the item with something different. The Outdoor Classroom contains more than 30 locations where geocaches are hidden. If you would like to try geocaching, this is a good place to start.
If you want to get involved with the Outdoor Classroom in another way, there are still many available activities coming soon. Some of the programs in May include:
• The Garden Gang volunteer group, where one can help with gardening in the park, 4-8 p.m. May 21.
• On May 22, a seminar is being held to help people learn simple ways to relax. This will go on from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
• Every month at dusk, there is a hike under the full moon on the night that it occurs. The next date for this is May 25.
• Finally, from 6-8 p.m. May 31 there is a children's class that will teach about reptiles and amphibians through hands-on activities.
Learn about these programs and more at www.theoutdoorclassroompa.org or by contacting Jessica Kester, program manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or John Masilunas, program administer, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Earth Now: American Photographers and the Environment
Just as environmental awareness has changed over the past century, so has environmental photography. Katherine Ware curates an exhibition in conjunction with the release of her book by the same name, Earth Now: American Photographers and the Environment. The exhibition is divided into two loose sections of 20th and 21st century art. Ware says the 20th century saw two ends of the spectrum in environmental photography: Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter, "idealists who would photograph pristine unpopulated land" midcentury, and photographers such as Richard Misrach who were "more critical of what's going on, who show bad things" toward the century's end. Ware posits that the 21st century is more middle-of-the-road. "It's about accepting the situation we have and trying to move forward from there," she says. The work of more than 30 photographers, many of whom are from New Mexico, traces varying perceptions of environmentalism in art through a medium that, in itself, can be severely detrimental to the environment. "I'm interested in getting us to look at the choices we're making," Wares says.

Digestion was the only agenda Jen Leigh and Melanie Adamson had Thanksgiving evening.
Then one of them offered some food for thought.
"We decided to do this after our meal, at about 8 o'clock," Adamson said. "We hadn't planned this."
Their brainstorm was to storm the stores, like millions nationwide, for Black Friday sales, specials, samples and general shopping. They weren't going to head out immediately, to the ones that opened at 8 or 10 that night, but it wasn't long afterward that they embarked on their retail romp.
They got to the Strabane Square Kohl's around midnight, then around 2 a.m. – when it was Black Friday in the truest sense – they arrived at another South Strabane site, Tanger Outlets. They were still shopping there at 8 and intending to do so until, perhaps, Leigh's hair appointment at noon.
They weren't the earliest, or among the more frenzied, but they were typical Black Friday shoppers eager to kick off the holiday retail season. An estimated 147 million were expected to participate nationwide, although there were times Friday when Washington County merchants – at big-box stores and small businesses – must have thought that number had descended on their region.
The pace between 8 and 10 a.m. was steady and relaxed, but appeared to be gathering momentum as the minutes passed. That was to be expected for it was Black Friday for everyone, and "In-the-Black Friday" for the stores.
Traffic was moderate but increasing at midmorning, with no indications of a recurrence of last year's nightmare departing Tanger.
Leigh, of Carmichaels, and Adamson, of Waynesburg, are cousins who hadn't been together for a while. Thanksgiving was the beginning of a joyous, non-stop, two-day reunion.
"I started preparing the turkey at 6:30 (Thanksgiving morning), so I've been up more than 24 hours," Leigh said Friday morning. "After I get home, I'll have leftovers and get some sleep."
They were pleased with their experience as of 8 a.m. Friday, and gratified by what they perceived to be a change in the collective demeanor of other customers. It was in contrast to the stampeding stereotype associated with this event, and a view supported by other shoppers interviewed for this story.
"People used to bump into you and not care," Leigh said. "It was, 'I'm going to get the next person who rams into me.' Now they're saying, 'Excuse me.'"
Sandi Benard of Houston was at Walmart in Trinity Pointe on Friday morning, one of her multiple stops. She said the lines she had encountered were orderly and cleared quickly. "Nobody is killing anybody this year," she said. "At one store last year, people were banging into each other. I was afraid we'd be going to jail."
She started earlier, at 4 a.m. Friday, with her daughter and granddaughter, Stacie and Savannah Wheeler, 12, of Houston. Benard is a Black Friday aficionado, saying she has been shopping that day "for 10 or 15 years. I work on Thanksgiving and take Black Friday off. But I refuse to come out on Thanksgiving."
She also refused to go home immediately. "I'm hitting Gabriel's next," Benard said. "I'm hitting every store on the way down (Route 19)."
Donna Balis of Canonsburg did shop Thanksgiving night with her daughter, granddaughter and two daughters-in-law, but without her husband, Mark, who wasn't offended.
"Someone had to stay home and watch the house," he said.
They went to Walmart together Friday morning and enjoyed the experience.
"Things were very orderly," Donna Balis said. "We had a nice time. It's supposed to be a nice time."
Kim Winters likewise was having a fun, fruitful morning. A Houston resident, Winters said she "learned her lesson" about going out too early and started shopping at Target at 8 a.m. Friday, plotting a Walmart stop after that.
"I've been able to find everything I want," she said. "I got a really nice camera for $100 off."
Winters is among a growing multitude who are shopping online for holiday items. She said she has done a lot of that this year.
Scott Opsasnick has not done that, but his wife has. The South Fayette Township resident arrived at Tanger at 7 a.m. Friday while his spouse was sleeping at home.
"She did all of her shopping online and is done," he said. "She started a month ago. Everything she bought is wrapped and under the tree. She's making me look bad."
Opsasnick said he has been shopping at Tanger for about a year, and "they have really good deals."
As busy as the retail scene may have been in Washington County Friday, Ray Quinten was thrilled to be there. The Finleyville resident had just left the Strabane Square Kohl's with his daughters, Rylee, 12, and Caidence, 6, and fiancee, Joann Badamo. He said the stores were operating efficiently and that the hassles were minimal compared with those at some malls and centers outside the county.
"Things are a little more normal here," Quinten said. "Traffic is never a horror. This is just a better area to shop."

First and foremost, your AIM/MSN screen name should be some rad song title and/or lyric. Remember, the more x's you have in it, the more scene you are.
Next, go buy yourself some girl's jeans. Face it, the tighter your jeans are, the more scene you will be, and the more the hardcore kids will hate you for it. Try on a pair of jeans and find that you're a perfect woman's 2? Buy a woman's 0 and suck it in.
After you buy your jeans, go straight to Hot Topic and buy every single band shirt they have. Even if you've never listened to the band, or worse, never head of them either. If people ask you about them, just say you like the "old stuff" and no one will ever know that you actually hate Norma Jean. Never buy anything larger than a Youth Medium. Ever.
Dont forget to pick up a white leather belt on your way out!
So, now you're dressed pretty scene, but how's your hair? Is it dyed black? Maybe with some bleach-blonde streaks? Do your bangs cover one of your eyes? If you answered no to any of these, shut up, grab a pair of scissors, and chop away. Never go and get your hair done, ALWAYS do it yourself.
Good job. Now your hair is the sex. But, your look won't get you anywhere if you dont know how to dance. And by dance, I mean beat the crap out of people. First of all, you need to make sure you claim your space in the pit. As the band starts, push everyone back and scream something obscene. Then you need to start to pace the pit just so everyone knows that you can move in your pants. Pacing the pit involves doing a half walk-half skip across the room, while looking downwards and shaking your head. But dont mess up your hair.
Then, when the time is right trust me, you'll know when throw your arm back and hopefully, you'll hit someone in the face.
5 scene points if his nose bleeds.
Begin two-stepping. If you dont know how to two-step, you might as well leave and go practice in your living room in front of a mirror until you get it. Add some sweet floor-punches and a couple spin-kicks into the crowd, and you're set. Now for the pile up! As everyone runs up to the stage, make sure you go last so you can be that cool kid on top of the pile. If you dont know the words to the song, fake it, and hope that its just screaming.
Your job is done.
Stand in the middle of the floor, with your arms crossed and survey the scene.
Good job scene. Good job.
So you're offically labeled bunshole now that you've given a couple of people black eyes. That's ok, it's the point.
Now that you're back home, go straight for your computer and immediately check your myspace. Get really pissed off when you dont have any friend requests, and get even more pissed off when no one has left you a comment in the 6 hours you werent home. Figure its because you havent updated your pictures in a couple of weeks and go take some more. Take about 80, but use the 2 most flattering ones. Remember, the more skin you show, or if you're sitting on the toilet, the more comments you will get.
Go outside and have a cig break and redraw the black X's on your hands. Afterall, you ARE straightedge. Everyone KNOWS cigs dont count!
Look up at the stars, sigh, and thank god that you're not emo.
Even though you really are.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
One side has the word, one side has the definition. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Lotsa space for your liquids.Buy the mug
The word "scene" coves a large spectrum throughout recent history, but its most modern definition is used to describe certian subcultures and movements. The most notoriously famous and targeted is the alternative music scene, or more specifically, branches of the alternative music scene such as hardcore, indie, fashoionxcore, etc. A breed of scenesters (people on the scene) has begun to come to the forefront. These scenesters are usually very music-savvy and loyal to a few specific genres (typically hardcore, metal, indie, retro, 80's new wave, classic rock, etc. to name a few), of which they dress to exemplify. It is hard to pin down a style for a scene male or female, considering the trends amongst them vary from coast to coast, and certian fads come in and out within their ranks. Typically, though, many scene kids will have facial piercings, tattoos, and longer hair. It is not unusual to see teased hair with long bangs on males, or short fauxhawks (a mohawk without the sides shaved, a fashion-friendly version) on females. It is almost a throwback to the revolution of Britian's glam era, very androgynous and fresh. Scenesters take a lot of pride in their overall image, and often they appreciate shock value. Oftentimes they are thrifty, employing their abilities as bargian-hunters and do-it-yourself gurus to do something unique with their style. Large vintage sunglasses, retro patterns, tight jeans, classic metal/band tees, plastic jewelry, and heavy eye makeup are just some of the incorperations into scene style for either sex. This style and showmanship is at its height during shows (concerts), where often scene kids will meet their friends and size up strangers who visit their turf. There indeed is competition among scenesters...sometimes friendly, sometimes not. Shows are in fact not just concerts, but often a means of socialization for those on the scene. Those people who partake in scene lifestyle often choose to date/socialize only with those like them, which can cause bitterness or rejection to outsiders.
The music scene is often associated with other areas that scenesters are interested in, which is liekely, art, photography, creative writing, poetry, tattoos & piercings, civil rights, animal rights, etc. Many scene kids have strong beliefs about these things and consider those who do not to be "posers." They feel that their scene style is not only a fashion statement, but an all-encompassing lifestyle. Many scene kids incorperate their future plans into their lifestyle, going into careers such as journalism, photography, artistry, piercing, tattooing, working for magazines, being musicians, hairstylists, running venues and/or coffee shops, etc. This tends to cause scene kids to congregate, visit, or even move to big cities to find opportunities to meet other scenesters, find jobs that suit them, or to live where they have a plethora of activities that they enjoy readily at their disposal.
Recently internet revolutions like myspace.com have provided a new means for the ideas of scene culture to be spead, for scenesters to find new friends, bands, and activities. Scensters design stylish and graphic profile pages to both draw attention to themselves and to find others like them, and many people have joined up with the scene fad due to internet advertising.
The downside of many scene atmospheres is that some scene kids tend to develop a superior mentality. Some who are especially popular and affluent can make it harder for the younger, yet-aspiring scenesters to join in with the subculture. This is not always the case, however. Different areas breed different demographics of scene kids. Perhaps part of their attitude comes from the problem that scenesters have begun to feel threatened about their culture being jeopardized because of a sort of trickle down effect. The internet is permitting easy access for anyone who would want to don scene-esque style and jump right in to a culture that scenesters feel they have built from the ground up and developed into a complex lifestyle. However, this lends many to get caught up in popularity contests in local areas as well as on the world wide web. Unfortunately, this can also lead to rifts in scenes. Groups of hardcore scenesters start "crews," often characterized by fierce brotherhood to the point of violence against others who are unlike them or who are in other crews.
The scene is dividing amongst itself, due to purists who feel the scene is about music only, and those who have taken the scene fashion to be almost, if not equally, as important as the music itself. Some of the fashionable scenesters stick to their musical roots, but often due to the aforementioned trickle-down effect, there are people joining the scene who are not interested in the music, but are only in it for the attention.
Thus, the scene will continue to divide. Whether they will admit it or not, kids interested in this lifestyle of excitement, concerts, body modification, fashion, and overall alluringly unusual aesthetics will continually be labeled as "scene." They chose an alternative path because they wanted to find acceptance elsewhere. Now, they face a community just like any other: one of all different types of people, who have different opinions and standards. It has its pros and cons, ups and downs, just like any lifestyle does.
"Those kids are not scene."
"Check out that scene kid's hair!"
"I'm surprised the hardcore scene has become so big."
"I'm not dressed very scene today."
"Every scene kid seems to be getting this piercing!"

Del Norte loses three-run lead, falls in eighth to Fortuna in HDN League opener
The Del Norte High softball team looked to have things under control when sophomore Colleen Markussen stepped into the pitcher's circle in the fifth inning Wednesday evening at Del Norte High School.
Warriors starting pitcher Camryn Ridgley no-hit Fortuna High through the game's first four innings, striking out three. The Del Norte bats were coming around on Huskies starter Morgan Harwood's pitches, and the Warriors held a 3-0 lead and all imaginable momentum.
Ultimately, what Del Norte had, it could not sustain.
Fortuna tagged Markussen for three runs in the fifth inning, then capitalized on defensive errors by the Warriors in extra innings to win, 6-3, in eight innings.
The Huskies improved to 10-3 overall (3-0 Humboldt-Del Norte League) with the victory. Del Norte dropped to 4-8-1 overall and 0-1 in HDN play.
"It's a loss, but I'll take it," Warriors head coach Tom Moore said. "We played eight innings of ball against a damn good team. Not bad."
Harwood, a sophomore, went the distance for Fortuna, allowing eight hits to Warriors batters while striking out 10. Markussen allowed five hits and six runs (two earned) in absorbing the loss.
"That was a battle between three strong pitchers right there," Moore said.
Del Norte second baseman Sammy Morrow tagged Harwood with two runners on in the second inning. Morrow's RBI single plated Marissa Van Dyke; Ridgley would score when the Huskies' centerfielder misplayed the ball.
Van Dyke paid her run forward with an RBI single in the third inning, scoring rightfielder Regin Loftin. The Warriors would place runners on second and third later in the inning but left them stranded.
Moore opted to substitute Markussen in for Ridgley in the fifth inning to give Fortuna a look at a different pitcher, in case they had picked up any of Ridgley's tendencies.
"It wasn't because Cam was throwing bad," he said. "We've got two or three people throwing seven, eight (different) pitches."
Fortuna's Courtney Christensen hit an RBI single off Markussen in the fifth to put the Huskies on the board. With two runners on and two outs, Kait Sigler hit a fly ball to right field. Loftin dropped the ball, and two more runs came across the plate.
Harwood and the Fortuna defense retired Del Norte in order in the sixth and seventh innings, setting up the extra-innings situation.
"They were too much in our heads," Markussen said. "(We were) kind of scared, but we thought we had it."
Two more defensive errors would be the Warriors' undoing. After an RBI double by the Huskies' Emily Lourenzo in the eighth inning, Van Dyke threw away a grounder to third base, scoring another run. Later, catcher Kiera Davis attempted to catch Fortuna's Callie Hughes stealing third, but no one was covering the base. The ball went into left field, and Hughes scored.
Del Norte faces McKinleyville in a doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday at Del Norte High.

An off-duty police officer from Altoona was arrested Saturday night by Hanover Township police after he allegedly assaulted another patron at First Niagara Pavilion.
Matthew Jeffery Plummer, 27, of Altoona, was charged with aggravated assault for allegedly hitting Thomas Andrews in the face after a disturbance in the parking lot, police said.
Andrews reportedly exposed his buttocks to several people, including Plummer's wife, who were on a bus in the parking lot, police said.
Plummer told Hanover police that he heard a loud noise as something struck the side of the bus. As Plummer got out of his seat to see what hit the bus, he said he saw Andrews drop his pants and expose himself. Plummer said he then got out of the bus as the driver called the police.
Plummer told police that Andrews confronted him outside the bus. When Plummer asked Andrews what his problem was, the other man reportedly became confrontational. Andrews allegedly screamed that he had not hit the bus with a bottle.
Andrews reportedly tried to hit Plummer in the face, but missed, police indicated in court documents. Plummer, who told police he felt threatened, struck Andrews once in the face, police said, knocking the man to the ground. James Brantner, who also was on the bus, told Hanover police he saw Plummer on top of the other man and pulled him off.
Andrews was taken to UPMC-Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh for treatment. Police said he will be charged with disorderly conduct for reportedly causing the disturbance.
Police said no one on the bus saw Andrews hit the vehicle with a bottle.
Plummer has been a member of the Altoona police department since 2009. Altoona police Chief Janice Freehling said Monday that she could not comment on the matter since it is a personnel issue.
Acting Hanover police Chief Stan Henry said Plummer did not give the arresting officer any problems.
"It is just an unfortunate incident," Henry said.
ZZ Top and Kid Rock performed at the venue Saturday night.
Plummer was arraigned before District Judge Robert Redlinger on a charge of aggravated assault and released after posting $5,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 23 before District Judge Gary Havelka.
