Cherry pie hike in Butler CountyBy Kathleen Ganster

The Butler chapter of theNorth Country Trail, in part-nership with the Jennings En-vironmental Center and theNorth Country Brewery, willbe host to the Cherry Pie Hikein sessions at 9 and 11 a.m. and1 p.m. Saturday at JenningsNature Reserve Center, 2951Prospect Rd., Slippery Rock.The annual hike follows thesame path, under some of thesame conditions, as GeorgeWashington�s winter treknorth in 1753.

The hike traverses part ofthe North Country Trail, theold Venango Trail, thatyoung Washington and hisguide Christopher Gist trav-eled to deliver an ultimatumto the French, according toJohn Stehle, vice presidentof the Butler Chapter of theTrail. It was France�s refusalto leave the territory, as de-manded by the British gov-

ernor of Virginia, that ulti-mately led to the French andIndian War.

�This is a great way tolearn the history of the areaand how the old VenangoTrail played an importantpart of that history,� Mr. Ste-hle said.

The event is always heldthe Saturday after GeorgeWashington�s Feb. 22 birth-day, and celebrates Washing-ton�s penchant for honesty,as illustrated by the legend ofthe cherry tree he admitted tofelling, regardless of the con-sequences. The event startswith a presentation by RodGasch and two re-enactors,Dan Nehrer and Bob Shaner.Mr. Nehrer and Mr. Shanerare French and Indian Warhistorians and will bedressed in period costumes.Mr. Gasch is on the board ofthe Washington Trail 1753nonprofit and will talk aboutWashington�s mission.

�People want to knowwhy Washington was travel-ing in such dire conditions� which hikers will get tore-enact this weekend withthe weather predictions,�Mr. Gasch said.

�He was only 21, young andenthusiastic and wanted to cre-ate a name for himself, so hevolunteered for the mission,�Mr. Gasch said. Visitors willlearn Washington�s trip wasrerouted several times and henarrowly escaped an assassi-nation attempt, according toMr. Gasch. Mr. Nehrer andMr. Shaner will discuss theFrench and Indian War, howthe frontiersmen lived and theimplements they used in dailylife.

Over 120 people usuallyattend, so this year, organiz-ers created three sessions sothat more could learn aboutthe history and the hike, Mr.Stehle said.

�We used to be in the OldStone House which was justtoo crowded, so moving it tothe Jennings Nature Centergives us more room and wedon�t have to limit the numberof people who can attend,� hesaid. The reserve center isabout three minutes awayfrom the Old Stone House

The three sessions start atthe reserve center, then themore adventurous can takeone of two hikes.

The shorter hike will beled by a ranger from Jen-nings on one of the trails atthe reserve and last about anhour. A two-hour trek willfollow the North Country

Trail and will be led by mem-bers of the Trail Associationand the Butler OutdoorClub.

All guests will be treatedto free coffee and cherry piein keeping with the GeorgeWashington theme. The pre-sentations and hikes werecreated to not only help edu-cate about Washington andhis contribution to the his-tory of Western Pennsylva-nia but also to help people toenjoy the outdoors, saidJoyce Appel, board memberfor both the association andOutdoors Club. Ms. Appel ishelping to organize theevent.

�Our mission is to createawareness and education,but we want people outside,enjoying the trails. TheNorth Country Trail is awonderful resource and thisbuilds awareness about thetrail,� she said. Ms. Appelsaid new guests come to theevent every year, making itworth the time and effort.

�I love people and I loveseeing people learn and usethe outdoors. In this case, weintroduce some people to hik-ing and the trail,� she said.

The event is free, but reg-istration is requested. Con-tacting Mr. Stehle at 724-256-0674 or email at [email protected] is requiredso that enough pie is avail-able for all guests. Informa-tion: 724-794-6011.

When I adoptedmy beagle,Roman, he was,especially for abeagle, incredi-

bly quiet.Beagles are famous for

barking, baying and howl-ing; it�s their job.

They were evidentlybred over the centuries forthe express purpose of ren-dering every nearby crea-ture simultaneously des-perate to flee and pro-foundly deaf.

But Roman didn�t bark.He was sweet and quiet. Hewhimpered at other dogswhen he wanted to meetthem, and at his housemate,Milo the cat.

Milo�s answers were al-ways unprintable in a familynewspaper.

He really knows how tomake �meow� a four-letterword.

Then, suddenly, Romanfound his bark. He foundhis bay. And he found heneeds to share them withthe neighbors and me be-fore dawn every morningwhen someone slams adoor.

Don�t get me wrong; Iagree that predawn door-slamming is deplorable be-havior.

It�s just that withoutRoman�s sound cannon of abay, I might sleep throughit.

Instead, I am launchedlike a confused, bed-hairedmissile into the head-board, while Milo punc-tures some soft part of meas his powerful legs firehim straight up and awayfrom the dog like a pilot�sejector seat.

This tends to make meangry. So I yell at Roman. Iyell at him to �NO BARK.�I yell �BAD DOG.� I yellmany other things that canbest be summed up with�MEOW!�

Roman continues to barkand growl at the door, or theceiling fan or a car with abad muffler somewhere onEast Ohio Street � it�sfrankly hard to tell. Hedoesn�t seem to know or carethat I�m mad.

But I may be wrongabout that. New researchshows that dogs can tell thedifference between a happyhuman face and an angryone.

Dogs have been hangingout with us for somethinglike 10,000 years, and our re-lationship with them isunique in many ways. While

the dog has picked up only asmattering of language(�treat,� �food,� �park� and�cookie�), it is the only otheranimal on Earth that attendsto human communicationby looking at the right eye.We do that with each other.Dogs also are more likely tounderstand what pointingmeans.

Other animals just thinkit�s rude.

Through a complicatedseries of training tasks andexperiments with 20 dogsand images of human faces,the researchers determinedthat the dogs differentiatebetween the face of a happyperson and the face of some-one who�s just discoveredhe�s being charged for Show-time without ever having or-dered it.

This research was con-ducted in Vienna, at theMesserli Research Insti-tute�s Clever Dog Lab, a realplace I wish I worked in.Wouldn�t you want to workat the Clever Dog Lab?Doesn�t it seem like a lot ofplaces you�ve worked inshould have been called theDull Human Lab or the Un-imaginative Biped Office?

Proving that dogs can reli-ably tell the difference be-tween happy and angry hu-man faces they�ve neverseen before doesn�t exactlyprove, of course, that theyunderstand what those fa-cial expressions mean. Butone of the researchers toldBBC News that the dogstrained to touch their nosesto a picture of an angry hu-man face and not to a happyone took three times as longto learn the task as dogstrained to touch a happyface.

�It seems they don�t like totouch an angry face,� hesaid. �& maybe they reallyunderstand an angry face tobe something they don�tlike.�

Maybe Roman knows hisbarking makes me angry,but it�s more important toscare off whoever is slam-ming doors.

Nobody�s ever shown theslightest inclination to comeupstairs and attack us in oursleep, but maybe that justproves the barking is work-ing.

Still, I wish he would letme sleep in peace and skipthe earsplitting commotion.

I mean, MEOW.

With a tear and a smile,longtime Shaler Commis-sioner Edward Duss told hisfellow board members hewill not seek re-election.

�I�ve had a good run in mylife,� he said at the Feb. 10meeting, noting years spentas a Navy Seabee, Shaler po-lice officer and 24 years onthe board.

Mr. Duss represents Ward1. His term expires at the endof the year. Fellow memberstook turns thanking and

honoring their colleague.�It�s been quite an honor

serving with you,� saidDavid Shutter, president ofthe board.

James Boyle thanked Mr.Duss for being an excellentmentor when he was first ap-pointed to the board.

Bill Cross said, �Morethan 60 years of service tothe community is somethingnone of us will be able toachieve.�

�Ed helped to makeShaler Township someplacespecial,� said Susan Fisher.

Lori Mizgorski talkedabout Mr. Duss� amazingspeech-writing skills. �He�sa very good role model,� shesaid.

Thomas McElone added:�He�s a gentleman and wewill miss them.�

�All good things mustcome to an end,� Mr. Duss

said.And Tim Rogers, town-

ship manager, said to him:�It�s been a pleasure work-ing for you.�

In other business, thecommissioners gave theirunanimous approval forKevin Creagh, township en-gineer, to move forward

with a plan to construct agateway sign welcoming vis-itors to the community,

Mr. Creagh had contactedAvanti Architecture of Pitts-burgh to develop four con-cept signs for presentation tothe board Tuesday night.The cost is projected to be be-tween $42,000 and $46,000,and the township will workon obtaining grant money tohelp pay for the sign.

The commissioners unan-imously approved a designfeaturing a curved structurethat will be about eight feet

tall and 15 feet wide, andplaced at an outcropping ofrock along Route 8 near theintersection with SaxonburgBoulevard. It will read:�Welcome to Shaler Town-ship.�

Work will proceed as longas the Pennsylvania Depart-ment of General Services,which owns the site, grantsthe township permission toplace the sign there.
