Top-seeded Chartiers Valley mounted a furious comeback in the second half to beat rival South Fayette and advance to the semi-final round of the WPIAL basketball playoffs Friday night. Things were looking bleak at halftime when the Colts trailed South Fayette 35-30 going into the intermission, and things appeared to sour even more when the Lions scored the first seven points in the third quarter. But the Colts got back in the game by mounting a fast comeback to take a 47-46 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Wednesday, February 13
Officials for Southbridge EMS are stressing to the public that the company is not having financial problems and is still offering ambulance services to Bridgeville, Cecil and South Fayette. Dan Miller, a top official at the ambulance company, told Bridgeville Borough Council on Monday night that Southbridge has been the target of a “vicious rumor” recently that they are financially strapped. “That is totally false,” Miller said. “We found out there is a pretty vicious rumor that we’re going out of business. It’s not true.” He said the company is solid and will continue to offer ambulance services at all hours to the three communities. An anonymous email was sent to Chartiers Valley Patch earlier this month that stated the company was “…

County Controller Chelsa Wagner said Thursday the Allegheny County might be charging to high of a property tax millage rate after the recent reassessment.
An analysis by Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner has revealed that the county could be on track to overcharge the average household by $50 in property taxes in 2013. “There is a strong possibility, from the data we have analyzed, that the county is on track to gain a windfall of as much as $38 million," Wagner said in a statement issued on Thursday. “I am calling on the administration to publicize every detail of their millage calculation to assure all taxpayers that no windfall will occur. No resident of Allegheny County should be overcharged one cent or $1, let alone $50 or more for the county’s failure to act.” She also expressed concern over the lack of transparency and available information surrounding the county’s current, …
