There was much to enjoy -- raffles, games, music, sports, food, and Pat Jennette, Publisher & Editor 7HDPZRUN%DVNHWEDOODQG/LIH In Pittsburgh, few other sports matter as little as professional basketball. That has much to do with the fact that, despite our sports-centric mentality, our town has been snubbed by the glitzy NBA, with its comparatively small pool of stand-out players. That's hardly to say, though, that Pittsburgh isn't a basketball town. It's just one that's embraced college and high school basketball to fill a void left by the one major professional sport that's snubbed us, or visa versa. Adherents to the college sport often talk about the sense of teamwork and lack of spotlight and ball hogging stars. That seems perfectly in line with the Pittsburgh sports fan attitude, one that traditionally prefers team play, defense, and toughness over flashy offense. I am one of many, for instance, who was greatly saddened when it was announced that Pitt would be leaving the Big East, a basketball conference known for its defense and grit, for the ACC. Football television contracts being what they are, it was probably inevitable. I now feel lucky enough to have witnessed a moment in Hartford, Connecticut, when Pitt center Dejuan Blair caught a rebound out of the air, along with Hasheem Thabeet's arm, and flipped both over his back. Thabeet crumpled onto the floorboards, but was still called for the foul, while Pitt went on to usurp UConn for its first-ever victory against a top-seeded team for its first-ever top national ranking in team history. In July, a Division I pro-am league will be coming to Montour, a school that's had plenty of its own basketball success in recent years. We write about that league in this issue of Allegheny West Magazine, and about the Montour alum who grew that league out of a small, high school summer basketball program that he built into one of the largest of its kind on the East Coast. Sure, when the pro-am plays, some players will be better known than others, but there likely won't be Doug Hughey standouts who can take over a game on their own. Thrown together for a short summer season, they'll have to work that Assistant Editor much harder at developing team chemistry and learning how to work together. That's what it's all about in basketball, and in life. It should be interesting.

Riesling: A Versatile Wine

Riesling is one of the better wines for food pairing because of its balance of intense acidity, minerality, and fruit. Most would agree that it would be difficult to find a more accommodating wine for a broad range of food than this delightful white wine varietal. A high acid content allows riesling to handle hearty sauces and high-end meats while innate fruit flavors lend charm for tackling highly spiced foods. Our semi-sweet riesling pairs well with almost all Asian (Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian) cuisine along with other diverse menus, specifically barbecue, and Southwestern style dishes. Try riesling with barbecued ribs and chicken, corned beef, crab, or cured meats. You won’t be disappointed. In addition, this light, pleasant wine goes well with egg dishes, guacamole, ham, curries, onion rings, pork (especially pulled pork), and hot dogs.

During the first half of his tenure at numerous highlights from his 38-year career in athletics, much of it Montour, Mitch coached a number of teams at other schools, spent at Montour building the program into a AAA force. including Quigley, which at that time hadn’t won a game in three Bringing the nationally televised ESPN reality show “Bound for seasons. With Mitch at the helm, they won their first game that Glory” there is one. Coaching the boys’ varsity volleyball team to three year. section titles and a WPIAL title is another. He can also list hiring two “They had a sign out front that said, ‘We’re rich, we got Mitch’,” he says. He was reminded of that victory when he went to sign up for Social Security, and the sales representative mentioned it. She was a Quigley grad, and a former member of the marching band. Before Mitch coached at Quigley, though, his career started at the same school where it has since ended, as a history teacher and the freshman football coach. It was his first job out of college. After coaching at Quigley, he coached at West Allegh- eny for a year under coach Joe Frangione, and then at Baldwin under Don Yanessa. At Carlynton, he was head football coach for the 1991 and 1992 seasons. All the while, though, he continued to teach at Montour, where he also coached the men’s volleyball team to a lifetime 351-169 record, and a WPIAL title in 1987. Among the players on that 1987 team was Chris Hale, who went on to play volleyball at the Naval Academy. “He brought that same football fire to volleyball,” says Chris about Mitch. “He was fiery, passionate, and inspirational.” It was Mitch who introduced him to his coach at the Naval Academy, says Chris, who later served in the military, and now heads Victory Media, a Coraopolis-based company publishing four national military publications. Montour alum Sam Woods played under Mike Marchionda, a member of Mitch’s 1987 WPIAL-winning team, and under Mike went on to earn Montour another WPIAL title in 2000. Now the head volleyball coach at Moon, Sam says that when his grades started to slip, it was Mitch who sat him down to talk to him, and later got him a job after college. “He always wanted the best for the people he cared about,” says Sam about Mitch. In 1995, Mitch was named athletic director at Montour, after two years of serving as an assistant to the position. He describes it as the type of job where he learned to “think outside the box,” and make moves like one in 1998 when he secured a new track in exchange for allowing a company to install a 3-way billboard on campus. The billboard was never installed, but the school still got its track, which Mitch says would have otherwise cost about $140,000. There was also the $75,000 in weight equipment he secured through a grant from “Body by Jake” for the middle school, and a deal he brokered with Allegheny General Hospital to supply the school with athletic trainers. coaches who have made the football and basketball teams perennial Most notable, though, may have been the ESPN reality series, WPIAL contenders, and brokering sponsorship deals saving the which operated on the premise of installing former NFL player school and taxpayers over a million dollars.

from lockers to projectors, and another with Reebok for new equipment. Yet another through Energizer got the school a new scoreboard and play clocks. “We were the first in the area to get them,” says Mitch about the play clocks, noting that at first some officials were reluctant to use them. At Montour, the “Bound for Glory” idea was met with plenty of enthusiasm by the community, complete with tailgating and packed bleachers. That was another payoff, says Mitch. “The ESPN producers were confused when they got the tape,” he says. “They were like, ‘we thought this was a dying program’.” Montour secured just one win that season, but three years later competed at Heinz Field for a WPIAL title. Mitch points out that since 2007, the team has made 3 WPIAL title appearances under coach Lou Cerro, who Mitch hired to take over in 2006. Lou was named the AAA football coach of the year, while men’s basketball coach Adam Kaufmann was named the AAA basketball coach of the year by the Pennsylvania Coach’s Association. “I don’t believe that’s ever been done before in the state of Pennsylvania,” says Mitch. Since coming back to coach at his alma mater, Adam has coached the Montour basketball team to three WPIAL appear- ances, two titles, and two state finals. Mitch says that when he hired Adam in 2007, some questioned his experience, but Mitch says Adam’s enthusiasm and character con- vinced him he was the right choice. As he heads into retirement, Mitch says he is looking forward to volunteering with his church, St. Malachy, and the Knights of Columbus, as well as the Pittsburgh Basket- ball Club. After serving as a Kennedy zoning officer for 15 years, and on the parks board for 10, he was recently named interim commissioner, and is running for the position this coming election. He’s also looking forward to spending time with his grandsons and his wife, Mary Jo, and volunteering at Montour. “They’ve been good to me,” he says, “and I’d like to give back.”

ABOVE: Kitty Vagley of the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden and Seth Greenier of the South Hills and Zeus Construction show blueprints of the storybook house.

Before carpenters can join the Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters, and go on to represent the highest qualities and standards required by the union, they first must complete a four-year apprenticeship program at the organization’s training facility near Settlers Cabin Park. This year, as some fourth-year carpentry apprentices were preparing to graduate and become journeymen, they took part in an event that both tested their skills and benefitted some good causes. On May 7, while a number of those apprentices built lean-tos and octagonal picnic tables for area parks, four apprentices competed against each other by building one-fourth of a storybook house. Once completed, the four parts were assembled, and each apprentices’ workmanship graded. That house has since been donated to the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, a massive project that aims to reclaim 460 acres of former strip mine and convert it into a thriving garden and park. Botanic Garden President Greg Nace and Director of Develop- ment Kitty Vagley were both on hand to watch the apprentices’ work, as was Board Member Judy Wojanis, president of Wojanis Hydraulic Supply Company in North Fayette. Kitty says plans are to install the house in the Book Worm Glen section of the garden’s Eastern European Woodlands area. She says the garden is currently working on an attraction entitled “Mr. Roger’s Garden of Make-Believe,” and that the theme will be evident throughout. Working on the house were Seth Greenier of the South Hills and Zeus Construction, Michael Howard of Irwin and Stevens Painton Corporation, Daniel Nill of West Mifflin and MBM Contracting, Inc., and Robinson resident Brian Kovacs, who works for DCK Worldwide. The house was built out of environ- mentally friendly, non-wolmanized wood encased in cedar shingles. Its roof was made largely out of materials produced from recycled paper.

In 1923, something in Kennedy Township started to bloom. A group of women met with the president of the Allegheny County division of the Women’s National Farm and Garden Association to organize the Kennedy Township Farm and Garden Club. Over time, the name was changed and is now known as the Kennedy Garden Club. The original membership totaled 27 women, and dues were two dollars a year. The club met at the former Ken Mawr Elementary School on Pine Hollow Road. (The building now houses Allegheny Valley School.) Club member Anna Jane Bayer notes that, in the beginning, members kept records of their activities in journals, which were hand-written with ink and pen. They would hold picnics at members’ homes. Entire families would attend, complete with picnic baskets, and blankets for the lawn. The club very early on valued civic duty. One of its first tasks was to promote the clean up of a local garbage dumping ground in the area near the Giant Eagle in Kennedy Township. During World War II, members promoted victory gardens, and, through the Civilian Defense effort, sponsored and directed the hospital canning project, canning 5,600 quarts of fruits and vegetables each year. It was a natural carryover, as members already were growing their own fruits and vegetables to feed their families. “Environmental issues are always uppermost on our agenda,” explains Anna Jane, “so much so, that reports are given at monthly meetings about current environmental concerns and how we as members can contribute to keep God’s planet green and healthy.” This year, the club promoted Arbor Day by planting another flowering tree at Fairhaven Park in Kennedy Township. In addition, members refurbish flower gardens at the Father Ryan Arts Center in McKees Rocks, and support the local Meals on Wheels program with goodie bags for shuts-ins and centerpieces for fundraising luncheons. Each year, the club awards an annual scholarship to a deserving high school senior who has shown academic achievement and has been involved in community service. Just a few months after the club was organized, members held their first flower show. Ladies got to show off their abilities at “mastering” the art of flower arranging. Notable judges throughout the area came to look over, critique, and award ribbons for their work. Such shows are a thing of the past, Anna Jane says, and the garden club now concentrates its efforts on community service and beautification, education, and environmental efforts. In the past, cherry trees were planted along the driveway of the newly built Ohio Valley General Hospital in

TOP TO BOTTOM: Past club presidents gather during this year’s Past President’s Luncheon in May. At the event, the club honored its oldest active member, Doris Presutti, with a birthday cake and flowers on her 90th birthday. Last month, an inscribed granite memorial bench was dedicated on the grounds of the Ken Mawr United Presbyterian Church in celebration of the club’s 90th anniversary and in memory of deceased members. Each year at the annual Past Presidents’ Luncheon, a rose will be placed on the bench in memory of each member who has died during the previous year. During May, members refurbished the flower beds at the Father Ryan Arts Center and the Serenity Garden behind McDermott’s Funeral Home. On May 7, the Kennedy Township Board of Commissioners presented the Kennedy Garden Club with a Certificate of Merit Award for their 90th Anniversary to recognize their accomplishments to make the community more beautiful.
