PA State Rep. Natalie Mihalek honored Upper St. Clair’s new Commissioner Pamela L. Enck with a Certificate of Achievement at the Board’s September regular meeting.

“She’s always ready to volunteer in the community, from charities to church,” said Rep. Mihalek.

Mrs. Enck was sworn in as a commissioner on Aug. 3, 2020 to finish the term of C. Elise Logan, who had resigned. Rep. Mihalek said she especially appreciated Commissioner Enck stepping up to serve her community during the COVID-19 pandemic, a challenging time for many local leaders.

The Township of Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners issued an official proclamation recognizing the Upper St. Clair High School Odyssey of the Mind Division III Problem Performance Team 2019-20 for placing first at the World Finals.

Commissioner Pamela L. Enck presented the honor to the team, consisting of Victoria Cuba, Brianna Lin, Joseph Markovitz, Max Murtough, Sammie Seewald, Constantine Tripodes and Eric Wang. Coaches Laura Murtough, Stacey Seewald and Meridith Markovitz led the team in defeating 36 other teams at the World Finals. It was the only team from Western Pennsylvania to earn an award at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals and the only Pennsylvania team to earn first-place honors.

The Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, set to take place at Iowa Stat University in May, was canceled, providing more than 850 teams around the world the opportunity to submit their performance by video. One judge noted that, “this (Upper St. Clair) team’s video was the single biggest takeaway” he had from this year. He said the virtual tournament helped showcase creativity in new ways

“These kids had to adjust to perform virtually. What they achieved is just awesome,” said Commissioner Enck.

From the Allegheny County Department of Public Works:

The westbound lane of Bethel Church Road will close between Alton Drive and Walther Lane in Bethel Park starting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. The closure, which is expected to end in December 2020, is required for construction of a rock embankment, extension of a stormwater pipe, and replacement of pavement and guide rail.

The eastbound lane will remain open to traffic throughout construction. Westbound passenger vehicles will be detoured using Logan Road, South Park Road, and Drake Road. Due to a weight restriction on Logan Road, westbound trucks weighing more than 10 tons will be detoured using Fort Couch Road, Washington Road (Route 19), and McMurray Road.

The Township of Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation Monday night recognizing the service of Commissioner C. Elise Logan.

Commissioner Logan served as a member of the Board of Commissioners, Ward 2, from Jan. 2, 2018 to July 6, 2020. Commissioner Logan resigned because her family is moving out of the Township.

During her time as commissioner, she has served as a community development committee chair; budget and finance committee chair, member of the parks and recreation committee, human resources committee, and representative of the South Hills Area Council of Governments.

Commissioner Logan was an active member of the Board at which time the Township committed to jointly participate through 3 Rivers Wet Weather on source reduction efforts within our region, promoted engagement in the Live Well Allegheny campaign, and supported approval and construction to extend the Perimeter Trail in Boyce Mayview Park.

The sense of calmness and compassion Commissioner Logan demonstrated during the most challenging periods of time is valued, starting with the flood in the summer of 2018 and ending with the global pandemic. Commissioner Logan also brought a much-appreciated balance of community perspective and fiscal responsibility during her involvement with the Community & Recreation Center’s Facility Implementation Team.

Commissioner Logan’s efforts have contributed significantly to the growth and overall quality of life in Upper St. Clair during her service, voting on matters with the best interest of her constituents at heart.
