Allegheny General Hospital employees, lower Northside busi-nesses and Deutschtown residents breathed a sigh of relief at the end of last month, when an agreement ensured the once uncertain future of AGH’s presence on the North-side.

On April 29, an agreement between the West Penn Allegheny Health System and Highmark was approved by the state and placed all WPAHS hospitals and facilities under the ownership of Highmark.

The new system will be renamed the Allegheny Health Network and will be an integrated health care delivery system that both WPAHS and Highmark hope will act as a competitor to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in the region.

AGH, one of WPAHS’s largest hospitals, is a critical component to the growth and success of the lower Northside.

The hospital is the largest employer in the neighborhood and brings 4,100 employees to Historic Deutschtown each day in addition to nearly 30,000 patients who visit the Northside for care every year.

Twenty percent of AGH em-ployees are also Northside resi-dents.

“It’s all good,” said Mark Fatla, executive director of the North-side Leadership Conference. “This agreement ensures the longevity and health of a large employer and good community partner.”

In addition to the financially struggling WPAHS, which in-cludes five other hospitals in the region, Highmark also acquired ownership of several other health care providers in Western Penn-sylvania to create a large health network, comparable to UPMC.

“The Allegheny Health Net-work will allow the long standing tradition of high quality patient care to continue on the Northside,” said Debra Caplan, vice president of AGH.

“It also means that healthcare choice for consumers and patients in our region is preserved. As the largest employer on the Northside, our organization is secure with our Highmark affiliation. Our future looks bright and there is much excitement about our new relation-ship,” she said

A three-year financial agreement between the Northside Leadership Conference and Rivers Casino has ended with no signs of an extension or renewal.

In bidding for the sole Pittsburgh casino license, Rivers Casino prom-ised the NLSC $1 million per year to invest in Northside communities for the first three years of its residency on the Northside.

2012 marked Rivers three-year anniversary on the Northside, and representatives from the casino have stated that they have no intention of renewing or extending a financial commitment to the NSLC.

Casino representatives told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the financial obligations to Northside neighborhoods had become a drag on

the property’s worth.“The comments from the casino

are disappointing, but they’re not surprising,” said Mark Fatla, execu-tive director of the NSLC.

The NSLC invested $2.7 million in housing developments in Manches-ter and Fineview, the revitalization of Brightwood’s Woodland Avenue, commercial development on East Ohio Street and gateway projects in Fineview and East Deutschtown. The additional $300,000 went toward op-erational support of the NSLC.

Weaving in and out of residential streets, up and down wooded hills, along cobblestone streets and near area businesses, Fineview’s stairs, numbering more than 1,600, provide expansive views of the cityscape.

because the neighborhood offers some of the best views of the city. Now, she is working to share the experience with others through the restoration of more than 500 of the neighborhood’s steps with a grant from the Sprout Fund.

along a fitness trail designated for walking, hiking and running. The trails allow community members to participate in “urban hiking” along the hillside steps and enjoy the scenic views the trails have to offer.

“Well, let’s just say we have certainly earned our name ‘Fine View,’” Doyle, the Fitness Trail project manager for the FCC, said. “I find it hard to articulate just how spectacular the views are and how unique each view is as you follow along the trail.”

The more than 500 steps in the initial phase of the project incorporate flat and elevated areas where community members can challenge themselves on runs or hike and enjoy the scenery.

The steps connect to areas such as East Allegheny and the Central Northside. Primarily fitness enthusiasts in the immediate neighborhood, Finview residents who work at the Allegheny General Hospital and other community members who need the steps to

weather ahead, the Northside Public Safety Committee wants to remind neighbors that crime stats tend to increase in the summer months.

According to Northside Public Safety President David Stacy, ob-servant residents can help drasti-cally increase these numbers simply by knowing their neighborhood, knowing their neighbors and re-porting unusual activities.

“A lot of people in our neigh-borhood speak up, and that’s great,” said Stacy. “But we always need more people reporting what they see.”

For questions or concerns regarding crime or police presence, contact the Zone 1 Community Re-lations Officer, Forrest Hodges at [email protected].

In March there were, approximately 424 incidents were reported throughout the Northside, which led to approximately 142 arrests.

A crowd of about 40 Northside business owners and residents met and listened to three mayoral candi-dates April 4 at the National Aviary.

The event was hosted by The North Side North Shore Chamber of Commerce to give Northsiders a chance to interact with candidates Jack Wagner, Bill Peduto and Jake Wheatley one-on-one in a casual en-vironment.

“It had sort of a mixer feel to it,” said organizer John Graf, who is a co-owner of The Priory Hotel.

In addition to chatting with at-tendees, the candidates each gave a short pitch about their vision for

the city and what they would do as mayor.

Wagner confidently referenced his experience in city and state government, while Peduto talked about his vision for development and growth, citing the development projects he worked in the East End neighborhoods.

Wheatley noted that the was new to Pittsburgh city politics, hav-ing worked as a state representative, but noted that he was not held to city-wide forces and was an advocate of reform in the mayor’s office.

“I think it went pretty well,” said Robin Miller, executive director of the chamber of commerce.

NCM Magic History Tour

Northsiders can stretch their legs and brains while raising money for charity June 8 during the Northside Common Ministry’s Magical History Tour.

During the tour, the par-ticipants will learn more about the history of Northside neighbor-hoods as group leaders direct them along 1K, 3K and 5K courses.

The walk will highlight some notable landmarks, allowing the walkers to pass houses where Ger-trude Stein, Mary Cassatt, Martha Graham and the inventor of the Ferris wheel lived in their youth.

The tour begins at the NCM shelter at 1601 Brighton Road and concludes in West Park, on the corner of West North Avenue and Resaca Place, with music and food. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and participants begin their walk at 10 a.m.

The Northside Common Min-istries has hosted the walk to sup-port its men’s shelter for more than a dozen years. The walk draws 100 to 150 walkers ranging in age from infants riding in strollers to senior citizens and generates several thousand dollars each year, accord-ing to NCM Director Jay Poliziani.

Poliziani said the money is used to help the NCM buy needed items to operate its 25-bed home-less men’s shelter that provides a “safe haven for hundreds of home-less men every year.”

“We are able to supply the men

with work boots so the can get a job, twin size sheets and bath tow-els with this added money,” he said.

Participants are invited to bring a bag of non-perishable food items to bolster the food pantry, another resource that the NCM provides. The food pantry plays a prominent role in the community by providing for the food needs of close to 1,000 Northsiders each month.

The Ministry also offers other services to work with the neigh-borhoods’ homeless and strengthen them as positive members in the community. These services include utility assistance and medical pro-grams as well as a GED class. The walk, Poliziani said, helps to fund the “much needed programs.”

Poliziani said people come from all over the region to participate and oftentimes bring friends. Last year’s event included walkers from Florida and New Mexico.

“Folks love the chance to see new neighborhoods and help raise money for the shelter,” he said.

The walk is dog-friendly and all are welcome to attend.

There is not set registration fee, but walkers receive a free Mag-ical History Tour T-shirt with a $30 donation. Walkers are encour-aged to request a pledge sheet and seek out monetary support from their friends and family.

For more information, in-terested participants can call 412.323.1163 or email [email protected] for a pledge sheet.

NSLC hosts school board candidates night

By Kelsey Shea

With the concerns about failing schools and the impending budget crisis looming, the three candidates for the District 9 seat of the Pitts-burgh Public Schools Board of Edu-cation discussed the future they saw for the public education in Pittsburgh on April 25.

The Northside Leadership Con-ference and A+ Schools hosted a forum with the three school board candidates, Dave Schuilenburg, Lor-raine Burton Eberhardt and Carolyn Klug.

Roughly 40 community members attended the April 25 event that was moderated by Northside Community Development Fund Executive Direc-

tor Mark Masterson. Each candidate presented their

platform and answered questions from the moderator and the audi-ence.

Questions focused largely on budget concerns, community en-gagement and strategies for improv-ing schools and education specifi-cally in the Northside.

All three candidates expressed concern about equity in schools, were wary of new charter school applications and agreed that parent engagement was a key factor in suc-cessful schools.

Of the three candidates, Dave Schuilenburg stood out as the most critical of the Pittsburgh Public School system and called for a more aggressive pursuit of state funding and making the actions of the board more transparent.

Schuilenburg is a Summer Hill resident, a 9-1-1 officer and trainer with the Pittsburgh Police and the vice president of the parent commu-nity organization for the Environ-

mental Charter School at Frick Park where his daughters go to school in Squirrel Hill.

“We need to be going to Har-risburg and demanding funding,” said Schuilenburg, who also spoke strongly in favor of transparen-cy within the board of education. “Pittsburgh Public Schools has a long road ahead in restoring its credibility.”

Brighton Heights resident Car-olyn Klug placed emphasis on pro-fessional development and magnet programs to help ailing schools and the importance of managing PPS’s impending budget crisis.

Klug taught for 30 years in the district before retiring and worked as an advocated for the National Writing Project. At the forum, she acknowledged the problems of PPS, but also praised the positive achieve-ments of the school district as well.

“I’m so incredibly proud of Pittsburgh Public Schools and what

Brighton Heights offices will also showcase local art

The recently opened Brighton Heights Citizens Federation office is already serving a dual purpose in the Northside community.

BHCF board member and local artist Susan Benn visited the new offices soon after they opened this

spring and immediately saw their potential.

“When got there and saw the long, white walls, I said ‘This should be a gallery,” said Benn, who has spent the last few months making that reality happen in the BHCF offices at 3629 California Ave.

Benn recruited three Brighton

Heights residents to submit paintings and photographs to place in the office space for visitors and BHCF members to enjoy and even purchase.

The BHCF will host a gallery opening in their offices on May 8, from 6-9 p.m.

Benn hopes the gallery will help nurture the diverse and growing artist community in Brighton Heights

“I think it’s going to be very mixed,” said Benn, who said the three artists vary in style. “A lot of young artists are moving here because it’s very affordable… We have so many people interested in doing creative things here.”

The three artists, whose works will be displayed, are photographer Kent Noble and painters David Horvath and Ann Heckel.

David Horvath recently began painting large, Warhol-style portraits of famous individuals like Marilyn Monroe and local icons like Pittsburgh Penguin Evgeni Malkin. Though it began as a hobby, Horvath’s paintings have been very

popular and sell quickly.Contrasting Horvath’s modern,

contemporary paintings, Brighton Height’s artist Ann Heckel’s work is more traditional, with impressionist landscapes and abstract natural scenes.

The lone photographer, Kent Noble, will feature a series of photos he shot at the Northside’s own Riverview Park.

Noble anticipates that the gallery will be a positive thing for the Brighton Heights growing arts community.

“I’ve shown before [in galleries], but never so locally,” said Noble, who primarily uses social media and online platforms to publish and sell his photographs. “It’ll be nice to have a place to show art and look at other people’s stuff.”

The paintings will be put on display on May 8, and the BHCF plans to show them until at least June 9, so they’ll be on display for a special showing that will be a part of the Brighton Heights annual house tour.

BZ’s brings new dining options to the North Shore

By Megan Trimble

A new North Shore restaurant puts a twist on American food..

Brandon Herriott, and investors Bob and Lauri Zdravkovski, opened BZ’s Bar and Grille this past winter and serve what they call “twisted American cuisine.” The restaurant is across from PNC Park at 140 Federal Street, in the former Firewaters Restaurant and Bar location.

“We believed that Pittsburgh is a great city and that the North Shore and Northside are an up-and-coming area and a great place to invest in,” Herriott, and Ann Arbor, MI native, said. “We love blue collar, tough, Midwest cities in general.”

The restaurant offers traditional American dishes such as burgers and mac & cheese, as well as unique takes on the classics like the Turducken Burger — a Turkey Burger topped with Duck Confit, a Fried Egg, Sage Aioli and Arugula.

The bar and grille draws in a

range of customers, from Pirates fans to North Shore workers as well.

The restaurant features a blue — paying homage to the 1971 Grabber Blue Mustang, Herriott’s favorite car — and black interior with open brick, steel beams and wood. Black and white photos of Pittsburgh decorate the walls to add to the “modern industrial” theme.

“It’s a bar/restaurant that plays sports but not just a sports bar,” Herriott said. “There is a natural progression in the space from bar to restaurant.”

The restaurant operates Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and menu prices range from around $10 to $30 per entrée. Customers can choose the menu oddities or stick to the classics.

“Several of our Twisted American Cuisine offerings are nipping at the leaders heals, but the most popular item is still the Classic Burger,” Herriott said.

Northsiders encouraged to particpate in heart walk

The Allegheny General Hospital is calling all Northsiders to learn more about their hearts, health and community this month.

AGH’s Cardiovascular Institute is hosting its 10th annual Hearts in the Park Walk on Saturday, May 11 at the Allegheny Commons Park— directly across form the hospital. Registration for the event begins at 8 a.m., followed by announcements and the event kickoff at 9 a.m. Awards, announcements and raffle drawings will follow the walk at 10 a.m.

Senior Manager for the AGH Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Lori Dernus said the event typically draws in 300 to 400 participants from across the city, and she would like to see 500 walkers celebrating the 10th anniversary.

This year, organizers have placed special focus on getting more Northsiders involved in the walk.

“It’s a really great cause that happens right here in the

neighborhood,” said Allegheny General Hospital Partnership Coordinator Laura Smith. “Some of the money raised goes towards maintaining Allegheny Commons Park.”

Two local schools, North Catholic and Allegheny Traditional Academy, will have their teachers participate in a walk off, and the

winning classroom will receive $1,000 worth of athletic equipment.

The rest of the proceeds benefit the Allegheny Heart Institute and the Allegheny General Hospital Cardiovascular Institute to support research and treatment for cardiovascular disease.

In an effort to get Northsiders out for the walk, the Northside

Leadership Conference has promised to provide a catered meal from Bistro to Go to the Northside community group with the most participating members.

The 2-mile walk is held in memory of James A. Magovern, MD, a cardiac surgeon and researcher who spent his career at AGH. Magovern started the event to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and encourage people to walk and exercise for a healthy lifestyle.

Dernus said that the fun and easy event targets families and engages children, several of who “get really excited about it.”

“It’s a great event for anyone who can walk,” Dernus said. “It’s really an easy flat walk and anyone can turn around if it seems too far, but it’s not too cumbersome for patients, children or the elderly.”

The event will feature a free Prescription for a Healthy Heart Expo for all registered walkers. The expo will provide free blood

Summer Hill’s Lorraine Burton Eberhardt described herself as a “product of the Pittsburgh Public Schools,” having both attended and taught in the district. She stressed the importance of relationships between stake-holders and equity among schools.

Of the three, Eberhardt was the candidate most criti-cal of charter schools and their impact on public educa-tion.

“I consider charter schools the enemy of public edu-cation,” said Eberhardt, who promised to scrutinize char-

ters and also find new ways to enforce equity in schools. The outgoing District 9 school board member Floyd

‘Skip’ Mccrea attended the event to hear the three candi-dates speak.

After the forum, he said that of the three candidates, he’d most like the see Klug fill his seat.

“I liked that she said, ‘It’s all about the kids.’ Because that’s what this job really is about,” said Mccrea.

He also noted that being a school board member is a tough and sometimes thankless job.

“There are things we do that people don’t even know about,” he said.

The election will be on May 21, 2013.

The North Side North Shore Chamber of Commerce held its annual luncheon on April 30 to recognize local businesses.

The luncheon was held at Heinz Field and the chamber awarded a several businesses and individuals for the services they provide in the neighborhoods.

“We do this to recognize the outstanding contributions of Northside businesses,” said cham-ber president Eric Shumann, of Tucker Arensberg.

Life-long Northsider Ambas-sador Dan Rooney was recognized for a lifetime achievement award for his commitment to the area.

back,” said Rooney. “Largely thanks to the good people who live here.”

KDKA Sports Director Bob Pompeani acted as master of cer-emonies, and Dan Onorato, chief external affairs and communications officer at Highmark, was the key note speaker.

Because the luncheon came the day after the announcement of the Highmark and West Penn Merger, Onorato focused his speech on Highmark’s role in the community and how that would improve going forward.

“The Northside chamber can count on Highmark to be a good cor-porate partner,” said Onorato.

pressure screenings, chair massages and education on living a heart-healthy lifestyle, including diet, weight control and exercise.

Dernus sees the walk as a fun way to bring the community together for a morning.

“Patients, friends and family can come together and walk right along side the heart surgeons and hospital staff for a good cause,” she said.

The registration fee of $20 per person or $75 for a family of five, must be paid by May 3. All registered walkers receive a Hearts in the Park T-shirt and discounted admission passes to the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum and National Aviary.

Interested participants can register online by visiting www.HeartsinthePark.com and can call 412.359.5026 for more information or a registration brochure.

connect to the lower Northside currently use them, Doyle said.

For Doyle, the steps play a large role in connecting Northsiders to community opportunities.

“For those of us who live in Fineview the steps are an easy connection to all that the Central Northside has to offer including some fabulous eating establishments, museums, parks and, of course. easy access to our beloved sports games,” she said. “Now with the Urban Hike concept we are beginning to realize the health benefits we have at our fingertips.”

A $10,000 Sprout Fund grant will help fund the inventory of the steps, which includes producing a map, signage, trail markers and step repairs and improvements.

Walt Spak cultivated the original fitness trail concept in 2007, but Melissa Gallagher and other FCC Board members took the idea to Sprout in 2012.

Doyle, who took over the project manager position in January, said the changes made so far have been completed behind the scenes. Changes include an inventory of all of Fineview’s steps, a ranking of those steps based on their physical needs and safety and the creation of a data system that will help the community track step needs as the project grows.

“With that information we have devised a rigorous trail that begins in the central Northside and extends two miles through Fineview utilizing the safest and most well-kept sets of stairs,” Doyle said.

Employees at the hospital cel-ebrated the merger with cake and a new sense of job security on April 30.

In addition to being a large em-ployer in the neighborhood, AGH

also maintains a partnership with the Northside Leadership Confer-ence.

AGH and NLSC’s community partnership helps Northsiders find jobs and AGH employees buy homes in the Northside. AGH employees also volunteer in local schools.

“Many thanks to the Northside community for all of their support through this process,” said Caplan.

As the state budget process is once again upon us, it has become apparent that this budget, like the two that came before it, will task us with finding ways to do more with less.

One area that has been over-looked by the current administra-tion is the need to invest resources in economic development and jobs programs, to do all we can to put people back to work!

We must create a positive busi-ness environment that encourages investment and helps small busi-nesses succeed. I have authored two bills that will do both.

Senate Bill 141 establishes a tax credit to Angel Investors that would encourage early stage financing to businesses less than five years old.

These type of investors play a

crucial role in our economy, mak-ing higher-risk investments in new businesses, where banks and other lenders typically shy away.

Another piece of legislation I wrote, Senate Bill 205, loosens restrictions on the Second Stage Loan Guarantee Program, provid-ing a needed catalyst to spur private

banks and other commercial lenders access to capital for small business.

These two measures would both provide a shot in the arm to small businesses across our region and a growing network of small busi-nesses will lead to job creation, at a time when it is desperately needed.

I will continue working with my colleagues in the Senate, from both parties, to move this legisla-tion forward so we can start putting people back to work.

What’s new and exciting these days at King?

There are several new and exciting things hap-pening at King these days. First ,we celebrate The Success Schools Model, which has motivated our students academically and behaviorally. Our students are building their leadership skills and demonstrat-ing responsibility through this model. April 1 – 5, was Spirit week, during this time we are preparing students for the Pennsylvania State Standards Assess-ment (PSSA) with meaningful activities. On April 4, Strong Women, Strong Girls hosted a Clothing Fair. Families in need were able to shop for clothing from 3 – 5 p.m. Lastly, Kings Kindergarten Transition team, hosted the Ready Freddy Kindergarten Registration Welcome Center on April 26. Parents of children interested in registering for kindergarten for the 2013-2014 school year were encouraged to come out and enroll their child.

What was your favorite program or experi-ence at King in 2012?

The teachers and students at King have had several programs and experiences that rank as their favorite. Our whole school assembly is the most memorable. Students from preK to 8th grade filled the gym and recited the DREAM chant and praised the accomplishments of their peers. In February, the 2nd and 3rd grade team put together the Black History Month Program that included an African clothing fashion show, a mime group, singing of the

black national anthem and a special song from one of our third graders. Then there was the team building activity where the staff worked in teams through var-ious obstacles setup around the building. How funny did we look walking around with balloons wedged between us guiding our blindfolded leader? How could we forget the stash the trash day with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, keeping our neighborhood clean is important to us? Not to mention our partnership we have with Urban Impact. Finally, we also enjoy being with staff who continue to put their heart and soul into the business of educating students.

What do teachers and students have to look forward to for the remainder of the school year?

King is excitedly anticipating the following ac-tivities in the coming months: Our monthly Pursu-ing our Promise student recognition and awards breakfast. With the weather breaking we begin our Stash the Trash efforts to keep our community clean; On May 17, we will host “Take your father to work day” and our Spring Dance.

What challenges do you anticipate for the remainder of the school year?

The only challenge we anticipate for the remain-der of the school year is running out of time for all of the work we still have yet to do.

First published in a U.S. puzzle magazine in 1979, Sudoku caught on in Japan in 1986, and became internationally famous in 2005.

The aim of Sudoku is to enter a number from 1 through 9 in each space on a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called “regions”). Some of the numbers have already been given. You may not use the same number twice in a single row, column, or region of the grid. Completing the puzzle requires patience and logical ability.
