Timmy warns parents. Again. And again.

Keystone Oaks had a problem with the indoor rifle range being so close to Myrtle Avenue School, so Mt. Lebanon was forced to move the rifle range to Public Works. Here in Mt. Lebanon, our School District encourages parents to keep their kids on sidewalks and safe walking routes and avoid shortcuts through private properties starting Wednesday, February 1 through March 31, 2018. Killing starts at 4 PM on undisclosed private properties (during after school activities) and 6 PM at posted public properties including the Golf Course.

You might want to consider avoid sled riding at the Golf Course to avoid a "teaching moment*" for your kids.

Here is the letter from our head "teaching moment" professional, Mt. Lebanon's overpaid superintendent, who will be receiving a 6% increase this July. I hope all private schools and neighboring school districts have also been notified since we have lower standards for high powered rifles in our community. And it is PA Courts Approved!

Subject: Updated Deer Management Information

Dear Mt. Lebanon School District Families,
In our ongoing effort to keep you apprised of local issues, I am sending you information that I received from the Mt. Lebanon Municipality concerning the upcoming cull beginning on February 1 through March 31 of 2018.  I have attached a letter from Assistant Municipal Manger Ian McMeans with details about the program and a link to more extensive information on the Municipal website at http://www.mtlebanon.org/2114/Deer-Management-Information. This same information is also being shared with all of our principals, teachers, and support staff. Please do not hesitate to contact the Mt. Lebanon Municipality or Mt. Lebanon Police Department should you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Timothy J. Steinhauer, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools



*White Buffalo's Jody Maddock, August 15, 2014, considers children witnessing a deer being killed as a teaching moment. See How about this teachable moment?

**Same absurd suggestion from our municipality as last year. See Shooting starts Feb. 1- March 31, 2017.

  3. sigh. I know, 3:52 PM. I didn't write the FAQs. I tried to tell them that, but the queen bee has chosen not to make that "transparent enough." The hours are listed in the assistant manager's letter that was sent to Timmy. The rest of the Mt. Lebanon residents and neighboring communities would only see that if they read Lebo Citizens. Thank you to the parents who forwarded the letter to me.

    For those who missed it, the killing hours for undisclosed private properties are 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM seven days a week. The killing hours for the public properties begin at 6 PM and end at 11 PM Monday through Friday. The public properties where killing of deer will be occurring are McNeilly, Robb Hollow, the Conservation District, Public Works, and the Golf Course. Remember, White Buffalo, smoking is not permitted in our parks. That is what is most important. Insert eye roll here.

  4. I haven’t seen any deer whatsoever and I live on Mayfair across from Bird Park. Where are the deer? No where around here.

  5. Culled ‘em all. And no rebound effect. Shocker.

  6. So why are we giving Tony DeNicola $77,110? Because he is a charlatan. Shocker.

  7. An effective charlatan I would estimate, especially if the population is significantly reduced and I've heard zero legitimate complaints regarding negative interactions with his crew. Shocker.

  8. We both agree that the population is significantly reduced, so why are we still spending $77,110 no matter how many deer are killed, 1:30 PM? If the charlatan kills ten deer, that is at a cost of $7,711 per deer. And you're OK with that, 1:30 PM?

    As far as hearing no "legitimate complaints," there were two "legitimate complaints" filed with Castle Shannon police last year that I am aware of, but our municipality would not follow up. I pleaded with the commissioners to follow up, but as usual, I was ignored. The previous year, there were "legitimate complaints" right here in Mt. Lebanon with photos submitted, but you didn't hear about them either. Funny how that works, isn't it, 1:30 PM?
