traPassion play tradition

SEE PLAY, PAGE S-4

By Kathy Samudovsky

Organizers lookback on 20 years

The Passion play each Easterseason at Anne Ashley UnitedMethodist Church in Munhallhas come a long way since it de-buted in 1995.

In its early days, perfor-mances sometimes involvedmore suffering than wasscripted.

During the play�s second year,

for example, the man portrayingJesus broke the toe of the castmember playing the role of the�woman who wipes Jesus�s face�on his way to Calvary Hill. In thescene, the crossbeam that Jesuscarried was to drop to theground. Instead, the wooden two-by-four landed on her left foot.

�I was supposed to be cryinganyway for the part, so with thepain, it just became very real atthat point,� said Linda Baker ofWest Mifflin. �I hobbled throughthe rest of the performance.�

Now, 20 years later, whilemany Passion plays and Easter

pageants no longer are per-formed, the production at theMunhall church is holding itsown � mishap-free and fillingthe pews almost to capacity eachnight.

�It�s a very professional per-formance with very gifted actorsand musicians,� said the Rev.Don Blinn Jr., the church�s pas-tor.

A Passion play is a dramaticpresentation of medieval originof the story of the Passion, or suf-fering, of Jesus Christ in the final

More moneymeans moretraffic cones onstreets near you

Two years ago, hamstrungby inadequate funding and aneed to catch up on repairingbridges, the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Transportationpaved just 73 of the 1,178 miles ofstate roads in AlleghenyCounty.

This year, flush with newfunding from Act 89, the trans-portation bill enacted by theLegislature in late 2013,PennDOT expects to pave al-most twice that amount � 133miles � of road, the secondstraight year in which it topped130 miles of resurfacing in thecounty.

Paving and other reconstruc-tion on roads and bridges willbe evident across the countythis year, as PennDOT expectsto spend about $214 million oninfrastructure upgrades, inwhat Dan Cessna, district exec-utive, described as a fairly typi-cal level of expenditures.

That will cover 37 road proj-ects and improvements to 72bridges. Since 2010, the numberof state and local bridgesdeemed �structurally deficient�in Allegheny County hasshrunk from 439, or 28 percent,to 308, or 20 percent, accordingto PennDOT.

Allegheny County has bud-geted more than $45 million forbridge and road work and in-

house paving, a substantial in-crease from the $27 million inthe prior year�s budget. Spokes-woman Amie Downs said thecounty has not finalized its proj-ect list for the year.

Municipalities also are in theprocess of deciding whichstreets will be resurfaced. Act 89has boosted allocations from atax on liquid fuels, which manylocalities use to pay for paving.County municipalities will get$29.2 million from the tax thisyear, nearly 20 percent morethan before the transportationbill was passed.

In Shaler, commissioners al-located $680,000 in liquid fuelsrevenue toward a $1.56 millionpaving budget, described as thelargest in township history.

Monroeville, by contrast, de-votes its entire $683,000 liquidfuels allocation to street light-ing and road salt, manager Tim-othy Little said. Because of debtissues from previous bond is-sues, the municipality won�t bespreading lots of asphalt thissummer, he said.

�We�re going to pave someroads, but we�re going to bemore maintaining than pav-ing,� Mr. Little said.

Mt. Lebanon�s acting publicworks director, Rudy Sukal,said the amount of paving willdepend on asphalt prices. Deci-sions on which roads to paveare based on a sophisticatedanalysis of the age, conditionand traffic volume of the nearly90 miles of municipal streets,called the Overall Condition In-dex.

CensuremotionapprovedLegal question leadsto disapproval votein South Fayette

SEE CENSURE, PAGE S-4

By Amy Philips-Haller

South Fayette commissionershave voted to censure Commis-sioner Deron Gabriel for approach-ing the solicitor about municipalmatters without the knowledge ofthe majority of the board.

The censure motion March 18 byCommissioner Jessica Cardillo-Wagenhoffer was approved by a 4-0vote. Mr. Gabriel was absent.

Ms. Cardillo-Wagenhoffer saidMr. Gabriel sought an opinion re-garding felony insurance fraudcharges filed against her by thestate attorney general�s office inSeptember 2014 and asked the solic-itor�s office for a legal opinionabout plans for the Watson Insti-tute.

�As far as I know, he asked thesolicitor for an opinion,� Ms. Car-dillo-Wagenhoffer said, referringto a September 2014 published re-port about her insurance fraudcharges. In it, Mr. Gabriel statedhis intentions to seek the solicitor�sadvice regarding her need to re-sign from office.

Fiber artist raises sheep,processes her own fiber

By Kathleen Ganster

)* interest test that+,*-. West took in highschool turned out to be verytelling of her eclectic career/

�01 said 0 should be a so 2cial234567*8 forest ranger9:;</West said/

Today9;</West is a shep2herd and a fiber maker /art-ist. But her background alsoincludes working as a socialworker and an informationtechnology director at localuniversities.

�I have a lot of interests,�said Ms. West, who ownsThe Fiber Mill & Studio atTen Mile Village in Amwell,Washington County.

She will be among exhibi-tors at the Pittsburgh Knit &Crochet Festival today,Saturday and Sunday atWestin Convention CenterHotel in Downtown Pitts-

burgh. She will sell yarn,batting and other fiberitems, much of which comesfrom the sheep she raises ather Ten Mile Farm. She alsoprocesses yarn from othersat her mill.

So how did a former infor-mation technology directorbecome a shepherd?

�I grew up in ButlerCounty and my grandfatherhad a cattle farm, so I knewabout small farms. Andwhen my dad retired fromthe mill, he had a smallfarm,� said Ms. West, 68.

But the farm didn�t inter-est her when she went off towhat was then Carlow Col-lege to pursue a degree. Atthe time, she wanted to workin the human services field.After graduating, sheworked at the formerWestern State School andHospital in Cecil in the1980s, until, as she said, �Imet a computer.�

When Ms. West startedusing a computer, she wasinstantly hooked.

�They did what you toldthem to do. I loved it. I wentfrom knowing nothingabout computers to learningall about mainframe andthen other computer ser-vices,� she said.

She worked at CarnegieMellon University and thenat Allegheny College in theirinformation services depart-ments.

�I was the director of com-puting services at Allegheny

College, but I was drivingback and forth from Pitts-burgh. I was driving over 100miles a day,� she said.

Although she loved herjob, the commute was tiring,so when she had the oppor-tunity to become the direc-tor of the computing andtechnology department atDuquesne University, shetook it.

�I was there for 10 yearsand loved it as well,� shesaid.

When she retired fromDuquesne in 2000, Ms. Westenjoyed various roles, in-cluding teaching fiber artsclasses, such as crochetingand knitting. It wasn�t untilshe and her husband boughta farm in 2009 so that hecould breed dogs that themill and the sheep enteredthe picture.

�I was at AAA getting mydriver�s license and thewoman there said, �I knowsomeone selling a fiber mill.You should look into that,� �she recalled. �And then wedecided to buy sheep so Iwould have my own fibers.�

Ms. West has severalbreeds of sheep, includingWensleydale, Leicester andShetland, and offers dyedand natural yarn, fiber andbatting.

In addition to exhibitingand selling at festivals suchas the Pittsburgh festival, Ms.West teaches classes and wel-comes guests to her farm.She also is festival chair-woman for the WaynesburgSheep & Fiber Festival,which will be held in May.

Working with sheep andfiber might seem an oddchoice for a person whoworked with people, thencomputers.

Ms. West has a simple ex-planation: �I love it all.�

Penmanshipnot emphasized

Mary Thomas� well-writ-ten article (�Penmanshipproponents say cursive writ-ing more than just pencilpushing�) in last week�s edi-tion highlights an importantskill that, sadly, is no longergiven the emphasis it oncehad: being able to write legi-bly in cursive.

When I taught secondgrade in the Pittsburgh Pub-lic Schools, cursive was athird-grade subject. My sec-ond-graders wanted so badlyto be able to write in cursivethat they were trying tomimic it, developing awfulhabits that would have to beunlearned in the thirdgrade.

Realizing this, I told themthat we would do a thoroughmanuscript review and ifthey gave me a good resultby the holidays, I would takethem into cursive. I taughtcursive very systematicallyand by the end of secondgrade, they were writing a

clear, accurate hand.I am retired and teaching

cursive writing to the twosecond grades at DicksonSchool in Swissvale as a tu-tor. I developed a progres-sive sequence for learningunfamiliar strokes and let-ters and build on it with ev-ery lesson.

I have prepared large-for-mat lessons that are in sheetprotectors that the kids try,using dry-erase pens. If theymake a mistake, they cansimply wipe it off and try itagain. There are follow-uppaper and pencil practice ex-ercises of strokes, letters,words and exercises specifi-cally focusing on connectingletters, particularly the�swing-out� variety.

My mantra is �write sosomebody else is able to readit.�

CATHIE HUBERSwissvale

Does cursive matter?Handwriting matters �

but does cursive matter? Ithas been documented that

legible cursive writing aver-ages no faster than printedhandwriting of equal orgreater legibility.

More recently, it has alsobeen documented that cur-sive does not objectively im-prove the reading, spellingor language of students whohave dyslexia/dysgraphia.

As a handwriting teacherand remediator, I see nu-merous children, teens andadults for whom cursiveposes even more difficultiesthan print writing.

According to compara-tive studies of handwritingspeed and legibility in differ-ent forms of writing, thefastest, clearest handwritersavoid cursive � althoughthey are not absolute printwriters either. The highestspeed and highest legibilityin handwriting are attainedby those who join only someletters.

He also cited a section ofthe First Class TownshipCode, which in part statesthat a solicitor shall furnishthe board with his opinionin writing when a questionof the law is submitted byany member of the board inthat member�s official capac-ity.

Mr. Gabriel said he wasacting in good faith for resi-dents.

Board President JosephHorowitz said he sought thesolicitor�s opinion in thismatter as well.

Mr. Gabriel substantiatedthat he also sought the opin-ion of the solicitor regardingthe property where the Wat-son Institute will be con-structing a new building.

�The township put a lot ofmoney and upkeep into thesoccer fields on the property,as well as paid the real estatetaxes,� he said. �It was a le-gal question in the sense ofwhether or not we could pur-chase the property. It wasdriven by the financial infor-mation.�

Commissioner Lisa AnnMalosh said she voted for thecensure motion because �Ibelieve in adhering to pro-fessional standards and pro-cedures.� She felt it was not

appropriate for one memberto act on behalf of the major-ity without having had theappropriate discussions.

She said she would havepreferred Mr. Gabriel to bepresent at the meeting, but�I do not think his presencewould have changed the out-come.�

Mr. Gabriel said he didnot think it was appropriatefor the censure vote to takeplace in his absence.

Commissioner RaymondPitetti said the issues go be-yond Mr. Gabriel�s requestsfor opinions from the solici-tor.

�While several attemptswere made to discuss his ac-tions and to ask him to com-ply with the establishedrules and etiquette, he choseto continue to act on hisown,� Mr. Pitetti said.

Commissioner JosephHorowitz said Mr. Gabriel'sactions and correspon-dences regarding proposedzoning corrections wereworthy of being censured.John and Stacy Kosky haverequested the township ex-amine and correct mapsthat they believe zone por-tions of their property erro-neously.

�Commissioner Gabrieldemanded that our solicitorprovide him personally, ashe asserted was his right andobligation, with a legal opin-ion,� Mr. Horowitz said.

The request was part of aflurry of emails that in-cluded township managerRyan Eggleston and the so-licitor as recipients.

�The tone and content ofthese emails put me, and ev-eryone else who receivedthem, in a very difficult posi-tion,� said Mr Horowitz.�Commissioner Gabrielshould have discussed hisconcerns with the entireboard in a public setting.�

alma mater as one of theteam�s coaches, helpingguide the team throughpractice and/or competitionfive days a week throughoutthe school year. With thatkind of schedule, studentslearn all about time manage-ment, especially those whoare involved in activities be-sides crew.

�She does violin for anhour, throws food in hermouth and is ready for prac-tice,� Kristen Goodell saidabout daughter Taylor, a Mt.Lebanon sophomore wholearned about the teamthrough word of mouth, asmost members do.

Crew technically is aclub sport, meaning thatstudents and their familiessubsidize most of the cost ofparticipation. Team mem-bers do earn varsity letters,and they participate in a va-riety of fundraising activi-ties to offset the financialobligation.

The school district pro-vides some money towardthe cost of storing the team�sboats � in crew, they arecalled shells � at the ThreeRivers Rowing Associa-tion�s boathouse at Wash-ington�s Landing on the Al-legheny River.

The rowers are out on theriver each spring as soon asthey�re able, and once theyreturn to school each year,they do so again during Sep-tember and October.

From November throughMarch, they keep in practice

by using indoor rowing ma-chines � known as ergs,which is short for �ergome-ter,� a device that measureswork � and even competeagainst other schools usingthe equipment.

Until the renovation proj-ect started at Mt. LebanonHigh School, the team storedits ergs near the formerswimming pool. The equip-ment had to be moved sev-eral times, and this month, ithad to be taken off-site.

The team is seeking a per-manent place at the schoolfor the machines and has re-ceived assurances from dis-trict officials.

�They�re definitely tryingto accommodate us,� saidhead coach Alan Engel, whohas been part of the team�scoaching staff since 1997.

Lawrence Lebowitz,school board president, ex-pressed support for the teamduring the March 16 boardmeeting.

�We do understand theneed to have the equipmentand will continue to workwith you,� he told ScottMickey, a parent of a teammember who attended themeeting to address the needfor storage. �Crew is a greatsport, something we�ve sup-ported on this board for a

long time, and we�ll con-tinue to do so.�

The team is preparing forspring competition, whichoften takes place at regattasinvolving numerous otherclubs. Some upcomingevents include the Lake Dil-lon Invitational at Nashport,Ohio, in April and Pitts-burgh Scholastic Sprints atWashington�s Landing inMay.

period of his life. Typically, itbegins with his visit to Jeru-salem and ends with his cru-cifixion and resurrection.

The Passion play at AnneAshley uses an originalscript, �The Last Days ofChrist,� co-written by Tho-mas Coyne of Munhall andBarb Mima of Port Vue.

This year�s productionopened Wednesday, and per-formances continue at 7:30p.m. today, Saturday andSunday at the church at 33422nd Ave. Admission is free,but due to limited seating,reservations must be madeby calling 412-462-3134.Standing room will not beavailable due to the show�stheater-in-the-round format.

�The Last Days of Christ�has 10 scenes and 15 musicalselections and involvesroughly 60 actors, musi-cians, singers and crewmembers. They represent 18churches in Pittsburgh�s

South and East suburbs, in-cluding St. Angela MericiChurch in White Oak and St.Bernadette Church in Mon-roeville.

Ms. Baker, a McKeesportLittle Theater board mem-ber, is the acting/cast direc-tor. Mr. Coyne is musical di-rector.

Cast members includeLou Baptie of Slippery Rockas the narrator; Scott Sch-mitt of Elizabeth Townshipas Jesus; Ms. Baker as Mary;Rev. Blinn of Munhall asPontius Pilate; and RoyWeckerle of Munhall as Ju-das.

Mr. Coyne said the playwas started because of aneed to unite residents of theregion.

�The steel mills wereclosed down, churcheswere consolidated andclosed, schools weremerged � a lot was takenaway from people of theSteel Valley and Mon Val-ley. We thought this would

be a great way to get every-one involved in somethingworthwhile,� he said.

Mr. Coyne said the ideafor the original script camein 1994 when he was spear-heading the Living Stationsof the Cross at St. Maximil-ian Kolbe Parish inHomestead, where he nowworks as director of music.He wanted to do somethingmore creative, so afterspending time with Ms.Mima praying and watchingand reading various Passionplays, �it all came togetherin a few days.�

Besides Ms. Baker�s bro-ken toe, the production hadother growing pains, he said.

During Jesus� third fall onthe way to Calvary, a manportraying Simon of Cyreneis pulled from the crowd totake over carrying the beamthat Jesus dropped. When Si-mon is finished, a guard is topush him out of the way.One year, the push was a bittoo hard, sending Simon into

one of the church�s nearly200-year-old stained-glasswindows and breaking it,Mr. Coyne said.

Then there was �the Maryincident,� he said.

A cast member injectedhimself into a scene that hewas not supposed to be in.Mary, then being portrayedby Ms. Mima, jumped fromthe sidelines in full costumeand tackled him to the floor.

�I�m in the back with themusic ensemble and out ofnowhere I see this flash ofblue � it looked like the fly-ing nun � then there wasthis thump on the floor. Sheliterally dragged him out ofthe scene by his feet,� Mr.Coyne said.

No one ever knows howeach live show will turn out,he said, but �it always seemsto come together ... and touchthe souls of those who come.�

The group going this yeartotals 299 people, includingchaperones and staff mem-

Some of the highlights arevisits to Times Square, GrandCentral Station, the Museumof Modern Art and the 9/11Memorial, and, of course, aBroadway production.

�We want them to under-stand what New York has tooffer,� Mr. Vogel said.

The cost of the trip is be-ing picked up by studentsand their families, many ofwhom have participated infundraisers to help with theeffort.

�The district is supportivein that they provide the daysoff and cover the substi-tutes,� said Mr. Vogel, ex-plaining that the district andMt. Lebanon communityhave a long history of sup-porting music education.

Cindy Gilberti, the splashesof color on her abstractpainting, �In the Beginning�hold spiritual meaning.

�It�s the universe depictedin blues and greens withlight,� she said about herwork, named for the firstverse in Genesis.

Ms. Gilberti�s expression-ist watercolor, along withmore than 30 other pieces ofBible-based art will be dis-played at the Scripture & theArts juried art exhibit atWallace Memorial Presbyte-rian Church in Green Tree.The opening is from 6:30 to8:30 p.m. April 24, and theshow runs through May 3.

The biennial exhibition,which began in 2009, will fea-ture a variety of media fromlocal artists both profes-sional and amateur. It raisesno money for the church andis largely a communityevent, said Ellen Heriger, or-ganizer and the church�s di-rector of Christian Educa-tion.

�The goal is to provide an-other pathway for listeningto God. Sometimes humans

struggle with their words,�she said.

Unlike past exhibits,which carried a scripture-based theme, artists wereasked to select and artisti-cally interpret a Bible verse.Cash prizes of $100 will beawarded to the three piecesthat best represent the se-lected verse, said Ms. Her-iger.

Professional artist andformer Geneva College pro-fessor Elizabeth AscheDouglas is entering a penand ink drawing based onthe Psalm 23. She said thisshow is special because it issponsored by a communitychurch

�I encourage people to un-derstand that art is for ev-eryone not just collectors,�

she said, and that � unlikethe artwork at big box andfurniture stores � showslike this one enhance the re-gion�s cultural experience.

�It is a chance to see origi-nal art and support the peo-ple who do it,� she said.

For the first time, theshow welcomes entries fromartists 18 years old andyounger, largely due to thesuccess of last year�s sum-mer art camp the churchheld with a $3,000 grant fromthe Pittsburgh Presbytery.

�We had 18 kids fromeight different school dis-tricts. It was a very powerfulcamp,� said Ms. Heriger.

Many of the pieces in theexhibit will be for sale, andare expected to range inprice from $75 to $500.

�Kudos to Ellen for beingable to draw people whoaren�t members. It gives an-other dimension because ev-erybody has such deep feel-ings about their religion,�said Ms. Gilberti.

unjoined, and use print-likeshapes for letters whoseprinted and cursive shapesdisagree.

Reading cursive still mat-ters � but reading cursive ismuch easier and quicker tomaster than writing thatway. Reading cursive can betaught in less than an hour� even to 5- and 6-year-olds(including those with dys-lexia) once they read ordi-nary print.

There�s an iPad app teach-ing kids and others to readcursive, whether they writeit or ever will write it.

We don�t require our chil-dren to learn to make theirown pencils or build theirown printing presses beforewe teach them how to readand write. Why requirethem to write cursive beforewe teach them how to readit? Why not teach children toread cursive � along withteaching other vital skills,such as a form of handwrit-ing that is actually typical ofeffective handwriters?

Just as each and everychild deserves to be able toread all kinds of everydayhandwriting, each of ourchildren deserves to learnthe most effective and pow-erful strategies for high-speed high-legibility hand-writing performance.

In the USA and Canada,educated adults increasinglyquit cursive. In 2012, hand-writing teachers acrossNorth America were sur-veyed at a conference hostedby Zaner-Bloser, a publisherof cursive textbooks. Only 37percent wrote in cursive; an-other 8 percent printed. Themajority � 55 percent �wrote with some elementsresembling print writing,others resembling cursive.

The cheerleaders for cur-sive repeatedly state that itcures dyslexia or prevents it,that it makes you pleasantand graceful and intelligent,that it adds brain cells, thatit instills proper etiquetteand patriotism or that it con-fers numerous other bless-ings which are no moreprevalent among cursive us-

ers than among the rest ofthe human race.

All handwriting, not justcursive, is individual � justas all handwriting involvesfine motor skills. That iswhy any first-grade teachercan immediately identifywhich of 25 or 30 studentsproduced it.

Mandating cursive to pre-serve handwriting resem-bles mandating stovepipehats and crinolines to pre-serve the art of tailoring.

ting resumes to the munici-pality is April 13. Commis-sioners plan to speak withcandidates the followingnight, and an appointment isanticipated for the April 27meeting.

In other commission busi-ness Monday:

" During their discussionsession, commissioners ad-dressed two issues regard-ing municipal parks andother public land.

Commissioner KellyFraasch revisited an ini-tiative by the Pittsburgh-based coalition TobaccoFree Allegheny to encour-age local municipalities toban smoking in areas nearplaygrounds. The organi-zation provides �YoungLungs at Play� signs toparticipating communi-ties.

�I wanted to see if thecommission was still inter-ested in doing this,� said Ms.

Fraasch.Mr. Bendel recommended

obtaining more informationfrom Tobacco Free Alle-gheny, and to bring it up fordiscussion by Mt. Lebanon�sPark Advisory and SportsAdvisory boards.

Commissioners also dis-cussed the possibility of plac-ing �emergency poles,� simi-lar to those that are numer-ous college campuses, foradded security at four desig-nated locations.

The devices could in-clude features such as secu-rity cameras, telephonesthat connect directly to 911dispatch, built-in auto-mated external defibrilla-tors and communicationssystems for making an-nouncements.

�It�s pretty much what-ever the commission wouldlike to incorporate,� said fireChief Nicholas Sohyda.

The cost of four of the de-vices has been estimated at$58,000.

" Commissioners dis-cussed the formulation of

four major goals for whichmunicipal staff membershave been conducting re-search and gathering infor-mation. The topics will beaddressed at future discus-sion sessions, including twothat are planned for Satur-days this year.

Andrew McCreery, fi-nance director, is workingon a multiyear financial im-provement strategy, with aneye toward enhancing Mt.Lebanon�s bond rating. Ef-forts to improve vehicular,pedestrian and bicyclesafety are being headed upby police Chief ColemanMcDonough.

Keith McGill, municipalplanner, is seeking better al-ternatives to the municipaldeer management program,and Susan Morgans, publicinformation officer, leads ef-forts to expand public out-reach and citizen engage-ment.
