Township manager Jerry Andree says facility still is far from a done deal.
Plans are in the infancy stage for the Pittsburgh Penguins to partner with UPMC on a cutting edge performance center and practice rink in Cranberry. "It's really going to be a one-of-the-kind in the country," said Penguins spokesman Tom McMillan. The proposed 150,000 square foot complex would be located in the Cranberry Woods business park off Route 228—near the newly-opened Hilton Garden Inn—and offer hockey-related training and injury treatment and prevention. McMillan said the facility would be similar in nature to the UPMC sports performance complex on Pittsburgh's South Side, which is used by the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh and includes sports medicine, practice and training facilities. With its attachment to an NHL team…

Peters Township husband and wife Anthony and Domenica Merante are opening the modern Italian market in North Strabane this spring.
A new market is opening, and it isn’t a name you won’t recognize. Pasquale Merante opened the first Merante Italian family market in Oakland in 1905, which continues to operate today. Now, Peters Township residents Anthony (grandson of Pasquale) and Domenica Merante are bringing the beloved grocery—and more—to the area this spring. The husband and wife team said the mission of Merante Brothers Market is to bring the neighborhood store back to the neighborhood, but with a modern flair. “We’re offering drive-thru amenities, a takeout window, more items to choose from and more room to enjoy—and parking,” Domenica Merante told Patch.

Peters Township picked up its fifth win of the season over the now 1-6 Seneca Valley Raiders on Monday night.
The Peters Township Indians picked up their fifth win of the season over the now 1-6 Seneca Valley Raiders on Monday night by a score of 3-2. The Indians finally seemed to play together in the early going of the contest. The squad made frequent, easy passes from stick to stick, taunting the helpless Raider defense. Taylor Cox forced numerous shots on net early but to no avail. With just under 11 minutes in the first period, Cox took a boarding penalty, leaving the Indians shorthanded. During the penalty kill, Sophomore Patrick Hannan dazzled past defenders and fooled the goaltender, putting the team up 1-0. Hannan sparkled all night long, deking out defenders and showing just how good he is with the puck on his stick. Toward the end of the…

State Trooper Joe Christy made no bones about police officers stopping speeding motorists on Interstate 79. With two “radar speed trailers” set up in both directions near the Southpointe exit, Christy noted speeding motorists were given fair warning to slow down. “It’s a little bit different in the sense we don’t have two speed trailers out,” Christy said of Wednesday’s aggressive driving sting with state police and PennDOT. “They’re given the opportunity to slow down. (If they don’t), then we have a trooper for enforcement since you didn’t get it on the first two opportunities.” State troopers from Allegheny and Washington counties were actively patrolling a stretch of Interstate 79 between Bridgeville and Southpointe in an effort to get …
