CM STUDENTS EARN
2017 PONY AWARDS
Two Canon-McMillan High School
students were winners of the 2017 PONY
World Series’ highest individual awards
this past August. The PONY World Series,
held Aug. 11-16 at Lew Hays PONY Field
in Washington, Pa., hosted teams from
across the country as well as Mexico,
Netherlands, Korea, and Puerto Rico.
Justin Naylor, son of Bob and Camille
Naylor of Cecil, was the winner of the
Easton Sports ERA Award, given to the
PONY World Series player with the
lowest ERA of the series. In his 81/3 innings
pitched, Naylor’s ERA was 0.00. This is
the first Easton Sports ERA Award for a
Washington County player since 2001.
Nick Popielarczyk, son of Gary and
Natalie Popielarczyk of North Strabane,
was the winner of the Wilson Sporting
Goods Batting Title with a .667 batting
average for the series. Nick is the first
Washington County player to ever receive
the award. Popielarczyk was also the winner
of the John D. Voytek Memorial Award for
having the highest batting average of the
Washington County team. This is the first
time that two Washington County players
have jointly won these awards.
‘DINING AROUND THE
POOL’ RAISES MONEY
FOR CANONSBURG
TOWN PARK POOL
The Dining Around the Pool event held
on Sept. 9 was the second of its
kind—the first was in 2012 when the
8 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Canon-Mac
pool was in critical need of a new liner.
Necessary funds were raised to secure
the pool’s future, and with further
improvements necessary, it was decided to
hold the popular fundraising event again.
Only five days after the pool closed for the
2017 season, it was transformed into the
perfect venue to celebrate and raise money
for continued improvements to the park
and pool.
Almost 200 guests and friends of the
park gathered for the evening, among them
PA State Senator Camera Bartolotta, PA
State Rep. Brandon Neuman, Washington
County Commissioner Harlan Shober,
Canonsburg Mayor David Rhome, several
council and board members,
and, of course, local residents devoted to
the efforts.
Guests enjoyed a Prime Rib dinner
courtesy of Texas Roadhouse, desserts
from Bethel Bakery, drinks from Blackcraft
Whiskey and Rusty Gold Brewery, and
event furniture and necessities from All
Occasions Party Rental. Entertainment
included live music by Herman Helay and
the Tom Terling Band, silent raffle and live
auction, caricatures by Clarence Butler,
and a release of paper lanterns at the end of
the evening.
For 82 years, the Canonsburg Town
Park and Pool has been an important
part of the fabric and quality of life in the
borough and a cherished historic landmark
of Canonsburg. The park is 52 acres and is
a major recreation hub for the community
and region, filled with scenic walking
paths, pavilions and picnic areas, a brand-
new basketball court, ball fields, pickleball
courts, skate park and an amphitheater
for live summer concerts. And of course
there’s the famous Town Park Pool—the
size is hard to believe until you see it—
with a fountain, diving boards, slides, baby
pool, bathhouse and concession stand.
Canonsburg Town Park just keeps
getting better and better! And many of the
area’s new residents aren’t even aware that
this gem exists. People moving to places
like Southpointe and North Strabane
are often unaware of the park since it’s
nestled in a scenic valley in the heart of
Canonsburg. If you have never been, it’s
worth a visit. Canonsburg Town Park is
open “dawn to dusk” all year, and the pool
is open seven days a week throughout
the summer. “Like” it on Facebook at
