Flags to Burn in Upper St. Clair Tonight

The old flags will have a dignified retirement.

Dozens of tattered United States flags will be properly retired and set aflame Tuesday night. Upper St. Clair Township officials and local Boy Scouts organized the special ceremony that will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the fire circle next to the old recreation center on McLaughlin Run Road. The township added a "Retire Your Old Glory" bin at the new Community and Recreation Center on Mayview Road to collect unserviceable flags from residents in May 2012.

Center Hits 10K

Membership exceeds projections as the Community and Recreation Center at Boyce Mayview Park embarks on its fourth summer of operation.

Three years after it opened, the Community and Recreation Center at Boyce Mayview Park has reached a milestone. The center topped the 10,000-member mark recently and of this week is closing in on 10,400. And they’re not just coming from Upper St. Clair. “Our fastest-growing population is nonresidents,” said Paul Besterman, township director of recreation and leisure services. The percentage of members who do not live in St. Clair is about 30 percent, up from 20 percent in 2011. Overall membership has exceeded projections, which helps the center substantially from a revenue standpoint. The financial status is such that a membership fee increase was not necessary this year. The center particularly has been crowded with the school year ending…

No Snow, No Problem: 3rd Annual Chili Golf Classic the 'Best and Busiest'

Nearly 100 people played golf in the middle of winter to raise money for recreational programming for kids with special needs.

Nearly 100 golfers enjoyed Pittsburgh's mild winter weather while playing in the 3rd Annual Chili Golf Classic on Saturday at Upper St. Clair's three-hole golf course. "It's the best and busiest," said Barb Joyce, owner of StonePepper's Grill and resident of Upper St. Clair. Temperatures were in the 30s, with periods of light rain and sunshine. It was a sharp contrast from last year's event, when snow boots were a necessary accessory. Many golfers said they enjoyed playing on the green fairways this year. "We didn't have as difficult of a time finding the ball," golfer Rich Williams said. "We can feel our hands this year," golfer Aaron Mansfield said. And the lack of snowfall made set-up much easier for organizers. "I like it with no snow…

CRC Fees May Be Going Up

The Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners met with the Parks and Recreation board this week and discussed ways to increase recreation revenues.

The Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners is mulling over raising membership fees at the Community & Recreation Center (CRC) and possibly allowing alcohol on park premises for the first time in township history -- moves officials say will bring in more revenue. During a public meeting with the Parks and Recreation board this week, township leaders discussed nearly doubling the youth rate at the CRC. They proposed raising the fee from $17.25 per month to $30.25 per month for youth members ages 10 through 18. “Youth users are responsible for the most wear and tear on the facility,” said Paul Besterman, CRC director. But commissioners said the hike isn’t meant as a penalty to the 182 youth members of the facility. “We’d be bringing the youth…
