Big 6th innings lifts Deer Lakes baseball past No. 4 Burrell

In a game that featured a number of strange plays and extra-base hits, a key was a single that traveled five feet. Deer Lakes used the short single as a catalyst for a six-run sixth-inning to defeat Burrell, 10-6, in an early-season, Class 3A, Section 1 baseball showdown. No. 4...
Brother of Penn Hills woman killed in 1973 calls cold case arrest ‘bittersweet’

Michael Pietropola was 11 when his sister Janice was killed while vacationing in Virginia Beach. Her death hit the family hard, Pietropola, now 57, told the Tribune-Review in a telephone interview Wednesday from his home in the Atlanta suburb of Johns Creek, Ga. “It was beyond words to describe the...
Editorial: Toomey’s common-sense solution to gun law loophole

Listen to squabbles about gun control and you are bound to hear one question come up, either from frustrated proponents of limits or aggrieved champions of the Second Amendment. Why don’t we just enforce the rules we already have? If the two sides would actually listen to each other, they...
Baldwin Street residents offered unique solution to flooding issues

While solutions to the flooding problem in Bridgeville Borough are still being devised, one option for some residents has been put on the table: Get out. Borough Council authorized an application to participate in the Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Program. The application is for residents of Baldwin Street....
Hormel lawsuit reveals what ‘natural’ meat really means

Consumers want “natural” meat — and the biggest meat companies want to sell it to them. American shoppers are reaching for healthier, more environmentally and animal-friendly meat products, with 39 percent saying “all-natural” is the most important claim when purchasing red meat, according to a recent survey by Mintel. But...
Letter to the editor: Pot & government vultures

I’m writing to deliver the same message as letter-writer John Waite (“Legal pot is a Pandora’s box,” March 21, TribLIVE). It is a disgrace to all Pennsylvanians that the vultures in our government can attempt to legalize recreational marijuana. We pay and pay, and they don’t care — they just...
Letter to the editor: Minimum wage will hurt young, poor

Yet again Democrats seek to increase the minimum wage. But that is a bad idea because it will hurt those it is supposed to help. If the minimum wage were raised to $15 an hour, those already making $15, $20 and up would need raises also. These raises would drastically...
Letter to the editor: Democratic insanity

I did not vote for candidate Trump in 2016, but I will vote for President Trump in 2020. I will do it because America needs a strong two-party system. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by wackos and radicals. The moderate members and “leadership” — Pelosi and Schumer — have...
Here’s what’s happening around town: Wednesday, April 10

Hello, Sewickley, Sewickley Public Library’s Ed Talks continue this evening with “For the Love of Soil.” Soil is so much more than dirt. Soil is alive. Every teaspoon of soil is home to billions of microorganisms – bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and more – as well as larger organisms like insects...
Boosters form to support Quaker Valley musicals

Lisa Sevcik sees a lot of similarities between performing in a musical and playing a sport. In sports, you have to know your plays before the big game. In theater, you have to know your choreography and lines before the show. Of course, musical theater is a team. You don’t...

Vince Mercuri: Healing body, mind & spirit

Over 150 years ago, the seeds of a philosophy of healing were planted. In 1865, three Franciscan Sisters came to Pittsburgh from Buffalo looking for funds for their ministry. They opened a 15-bed hospital in a frame house to aid German immigrants in Lawrenceville. Over the years, the hospital grew...
Cucumber, fennel, apples and romaine sing in this salad

All too often, chopped salads wind up tasting mediocre and doused in dressing. We were set on creating a simple version that was fresh and flavorful. We settled on a mix of flavors and textures, selecting cucumber, fennel, apples and romaine. Red onion added a bit of sharpness, and a...

Earth week activities scheduled in Millvale

U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day on April 22, 1970, to create a national day for focusing on the environment. Later that year, Congress authorized the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Millvale is celebrating its own Earth Week from April 20 through 27 with a plethora of...
Try 5 of the season’s produce stars

The arrival of the earliest spring produce is absolutely thrilling — at least for me. But then I lead a pretty tame life. Even if seeing those first spears of asparagus and cherubic radishes doesn’t send you into the same paroxysms of joy, there’s still a reason to celebrate. After...
