ARTICLE AND PHOTOS
SUBMITTED BY DIANNE BAUMAN
The Drawing/Painting students of Montour High School
have been busy making the high school colorful. The new art
teacher, Dianne Bauman, did not know what to expect
coming to a high school that has been under construction for
three years. She noticed lots of bare walls. With permission
from the principal, Todd Price, she decided to incorporate
painting murals on the walls in her art classes.
The advanced Painting III students created a large mural
of Pittsburgh with the Spartan head spotlighted in the night
sky. Dante Massey and Sarah Quinn were the artists. The
Tree of Knowledge was designed by Brittany Knable and
Becca Smith. The Universe of Learning was painted by
Kacey Carlin, Emma Patarcity, and Hillary Wirkowski. A
wall with animals breaking through it was painted by Nicole
Finnell.
Students in the Drawing/Painting II classes had the
opportunity to paint “windows of the world” on the walls.
The object was to paint a window with a scene that one
would like to see through.
Students painting windows were: Christine Baker, Francesca
Dumm, Sam Hollar, Brandy Kane, Courtney Graul, Leah
Marino, Hilary Nagy, Bryan Smith, and Sam Kelly.
Drawing/Painting I classes are also making the cafeteria
colorful and inviting. Various food creatures and pictures are
being painted on the walls to make the cafeteria a welcoming
place.
Throughout this renovation time, Montour High School is
still being a “beacon of light” (and color!) on the hill.

ABOVE: In an effort to help increase survival rates for people who suffer
from sudden cardiac arrest, Ohio Valley General Hospital has donated
an automated external defibrillator to the #1 Cochran Automotive of
Robinson and the Sewickley Valley YMCA. Through the use of
automated external defibrillators (AED), the risk of survival following
cardiac arrest drastically increases. About the size of a laptop computer,
an AED is a computerized device that analyzes the heart rhythm and
prompts a rescuer to deliver an electrical shock if needed. When AEDs
are used in conjunction with CPR, they can increase cardiac arrest
survival rates between 50 and 80 percent. They are designed so that a
person with no medical experience can operate the device.
Rob Cochran, President and CEO of #1 Cochran, explained that this
device will be a great addition to the dealership. “We’re grateful to have
this life-saving device in our showroom and we appreciate Ohio Valley
for their kind contribution.” Pictured, Rob Cochran, President and CEO of
#1 Cochran; James Morgan, Service Manager; William Provenzano,

defibrillator in the #1 Cochran Robinson showroom.

A book that was years in the making happened because Christopher
Rolinson, a professional photographer who resides in Coraopolis with
his family, saw repeatedly the natural beauty of the state’s parks while
taking his students from Point Park University on day trips.
While teaching a nature photography course at the college during a
special topic opportunity as a way to introduce students from the city to
the beauty of the outdoors beyond the confines of downtown, he
realized he had compiled an extensive collection of his own photos of
the parks.
“I realized I needed to have an appropriate home for these photos,”
Chris explained. “I’ve always been interested in nature photography, and
thought that I could share the beauty of the parks with those who want
to enjoy them.”
He would find pockets of time over the years to catch shots at one
place or another. One time, he went on vacation a day earlier than the
rest of the family to take in the scenery through his lens. Another time,
he visited a state park in Indiana, Pennsylvania while waiting for his
wife, who was attending a baby shower in that area.
His brother-in-law, Jesse, was often Chris’s hiking buddy and assisted
with equipment set up and keeping Chris company.
Over time, he amassed 10,000+ photos.
The book, entitled “Our State Parks: Western Pennsylvania,” features
96 of his very best shots, along with accompanying text, after narrowing
it down initially to 280 photos.
The book showcases the western region of the state from Erie to
Greene County. Chris included such places as the Erie National Wildlife
Refuge and the Ohio River Islands in Beaver County. The latter, he said,
is one of the most under promoted places in the region.
“Because it is not managed by a Pennsylvania-based office but rather
by an office in West Virginia that oversees numerous outdoor parks
among several states, it gets very little visibility,” Chris explained.
In all, Chris visited 23 state parks, five state forests, and some historic
outdoor sites.
The most unique place he saw during the journey was Erie Bluffs.
“It shows off one-of-a-kind elements. Plus, the beach is rocky and
narrow and the waves crash up on the shore, and it is one of the world’s
best sunsets.”
He said people could find this unique place at the intersection
of Route 5 near Lake City or Girard where Route 5 meets Lake
Erie. It’s referred to up there as the Elk Creek access, and people
fish for steelhead there, too.
The most historic site he photographed was Ryerson Station
State Park in Greene County. The Chess family relatives are buried
there in a cemetery on an old farm. He said the rural scenery is
spectacular, and the photos at dawn are incredible.
He said he would never forget some of the visits.
“Pennsylvania is pretty easy in terms of its landscape; I never felt
like I was in a precarious situation, although while staying
overnight at the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area I had a bear run
into my campsite.”
He’s also camped overnight on the edge of an overlook of
Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon after hiking along the river trail on a
13-mile round-trip journey to reach his destination.
Of all of his experiences, Chris noted that he is most impressed
with Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon.
“It has mountains and valleys, pine and deciduous trees, trails
and walkways, visual points and biking paths,” he said.
With this book published, Chris has future plans to capture
central Pennsylvania and eastern Pennsylvania in similar books.
When not photographing the outdoors or teaching photography
at Point Park, Chris photographs for a variety of regional
publications and has had his work published with the Associated
Press.
Chris has found a venue to have the book printed one at a time
by a new on-demand publisher and, “this way it also respects the
earth,” he explained.
This is Chris’s second book. He also participated in the creation
of the book, “Digital Photography Made Easy” by Don Lindich in
2004.

welcome visitors to their new Kavic
Winery on Campbells Run Road.
Five days a week, while most people are
either getting home from work or sitting down
to their supper, thirty-one young people ages 7
to 16 from the Montour area are in their swim
gear, swimming laps, diving, and building
their stroke techniques. Home base for the
swimmers is the pool inside Montour High
School.
They are the Montour Marlins, a non-profit
competitive swimming club located in
Robinson Township. The club is open to any
child who is able to swim one lap of freestyle
and backstroke.
Age Group Head Coach Lynne Shine
explained that the Marlins are comprised of
four levels of swimmers. The Bronze
swimmers are the beginners, starting at age 7
through 10. As the swimmers build their
skills, they move on to the Silver, Gold, and
Platinum level swimmers. These athletes are in
the ten to fourteen-year-old range.
“It’s quite a feat for these youngsters to come
here every weekday and practice in the pool; it
takes a lot of commitment and dedication on
their part and the part of their families,”
Lynne said.
Parent support is critical to a non-profit
group such as the Marlins. The club operates
through a parent-run board of directors who
volunteer their time to raise funds, help
transport the swimmers to meets, assist at
practices, and more.
Such passion is evident by the excitement
and energy at the pool on any given
weeknight. On one particular visit, several of

the older swimmers were cheering each
other on as they practiced competitive
laps. Two other swimmers were helping
each other with their diving techniques.
Three of the younger swimmers listened
intently while assistant coach Lauren
Ladesic worked with them on one of their
strokes.
“The purpose of the club is to provide
each swimmer with the opportunity to
strive for excellence in competitive
swimming,” explained Joann Ladesic, one
of the parent members of the board. She
added, “The benefits of the sport of
competitive swimming aside from the
physical benefits include commitment,
goal setting, and self-confidence. These are
things that swimmers take with them
throughout life.”
It’s a true team effort as everyone -swimmers, coaches, and parents, work
together throughout the season.
Four coaches work with the youths.
They are Senior Head Coach Michael
Schneiderlochner, Age Group Head Coach
Lynne Shine, and Assistant Coaches
Lauren Ladesic and Leanne McConnell.
The Senior Head Coach and Age Group
Head Coach work together to set team
goals. Senior Head Coach works
specifically with the senior level swimmers
(high school age) and any other swimmers
deemed necessary by Age Group Head
Coach.
The Age Group Head Coach is
responsible for swimmers under the high
school level and supervises the Assistant
Coaches. The Assistant Coaches are
responsible specifically for the beginning
level swimmers (Bronze level) as they
need more instruction in the various
stroke techniques and need to build
endurance.
A typical season of sessions consists of
daily practice to work on swimming
stroke techniques, swimming starts and
turns, and endurance.
Youths are welcome to join the club
throughout the year, since the club
operates four sessions annually. The
winter session runs from January through
March, followed by a spring session from
May through early June, when the school
year ends. A summer session begins just
after the school year ends and runs
through July. Fall session picks up in
September and runs through December.
Swimmers may join the team anytime.
Registration is held just prior to the
beginning of each session. The club also
provides new swimmers a “two-week
trial” period for $20 so that they can
experience team practices and meet the
other swimmers. Joann explained that
this allows the swimmer to be sure this is
what he/she wants to do and the parents
to see what is required.
Tuition is different for each session and
is set by the board of directors.
In addition, swimmers are encouraged

Cannella, and Ryan May.
to participate in the numerous competitive
swim meets that are run by Allegheny
Mountain Swimming on weekends. These
events are hosted by the various clubs
under its umbrella, of which the Marlins
are a part.
Once a year, the Marlins host a swim
meet for AMS where 300 to 400
swimmers come to the Montour pool to
compete over a weekend. Parents from the
club volunteer their time during this
annual event and swimming officials from
AMS are on site to assess the competition.
Explained Lynne, “Consistently coming
to practice and participating in these swim
meets will lead to swimmers improving
their times in the various events in which
they compete.”
Joann explained that this annual home
meet is the club’s major fundraiser. In
addition, depending on the need, they
may do additional fundraisers.
In addition to the club, the Marlins also
run the Community Swim Program for
the school district, which includes open
community swim times and water
aerobics. They also coordinate the
American Red Cross Swim Lessons.
Anyone interested in these programs or
interested in giving the Marlins a try are
welcome to contact either Coach Lynne
Shine at [email protected] or
(412) 490-6500 X1602 or Joann Ladesic
at [email protected] or (412) 7877650. In addition, the Marlins has a Web
site, www.montourmarlins.com.
OPPOSITE PAGE: The Enlow Tunnel is a popular place for users of the trail. Located in Findlay
Township near mile marker 7, it gives respite to those in need of cooling off on warmer days.
LEFT: Ron Figurella, of Aliquippa, says that he feels more comfortable riding on the trail than on the
roads with cars. His favorite views from the trail are the tunnels and trestles between Coraopolis and
McDonald.

like this one. The photo was taken from the McDonald Bridge of the Panhandle Trail portion.
