Frankenstorm has gobbled up Trick-or-Treat for most South Hills communities. The high winds, heavy rain and potential flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Sandy have forced nearly every town to reschedule its Trick-or-Treat times. By 10:30 a.m. Monday, Bridgeville, Collier Township and Heidelberg had already rescheduled their Trick-or-Treat times from Halloween to Saturday night. South Park has rescheduled its Trick-or-Treat to Saturday afternoon. After initially planning to hold Trick-or-Treat on Oct. 31, Scott Township, Mt. Lebanon, Green Tree and Bethel Park all reconsidered and announced that their towns have pushed it back to Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. Town officials in South Fayette also announced that the township would change …

Despite heavy rain from Superstorm Sandy that pounded western Pennsylvania overnight, the Chartiers Creek is holding its banks and causing “no problems.” Heidelberg and Carnegie, both of which sustained heavy flooding when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan rolled through in 2004, reported no rising waters or damage. “No problems, no issues,” Heidelberg Borough Manager Joe Kauer said. “It’s actually kind of cresting. I was taken back by that.” Water gauges placed along the Chartiers Creek near Heidelberg showed the water cresting just above 5 feet around 6 a.m. Tuesday. However, the flood stage for that area of the creek is 20 feet. The creek is noticeably higher than the summer when near drought conditions dried some areas to it sandy bed. …

Carnegie will be the site of a sprawling new skateboarding park. Mary Pitcher, the Scott Township woman who has worked for years to build a skate park in her late sons’ memory, chose Carnegie Park for the location of her dream. “I don’t know how to explain it,” Pitcher said. “It’s been so long. I’ve just really wanted to get it done. It’s great to see it finally coming to a home.” Pitcher and organizers had considered similar plans in Scott Township and Mt. Lebanon, but Carnegie Park’s terrain and proximity to major roads and nearby neighborhoods made it an obvious choice. “The flow of Carnegie Park with the hillside there is perfect,” Pitcher said. The skate park has been a project years in the making. Pitcher originally hoped to build …
