With the town’s sesquicentennial celebration just days away, residents can find a history lesson everywhere, even at the Sewickley Post Office.
On Sunday, Oct. 5, between 1-4 p.m., the office will host an Open House in honor of the new commemorative cancellation stamp and cache envelope and present a program on Sewickley’s postal history.
Members of the Marine Corps also will attend for a special presentation.
For the stamp, workers in the post office retail department used the Sewickley Celebrates design, a multi-colored balloon with “150” in the middle. ------------------ Continual! on Page 5

Two officials resign from positions
By Rachel Weaver____________
Staff writer________________
Aleppo Township’s first manager resigned Sept. 22, after 10 months in the position.
In her resignation letter, Patricia Flaherty writes: “This resignation is partly influenced by the township solicitor (Vincent Restauri) who informed me I should resign due to the adversarial relationship that developed between the chief of police and myself.”
Several lawsuits have been filed between Flaherty and Chief Richard Trapizona.
He filed a suit in July citing the township manager and the township for defamation. Last month, she charged him with harassment.
Flaherty withdrew the harassment charge against Trapizona last week. Preliminary objections for Trapizona’s suit began last Friday.
Commissioner Carolyn Smith also resigned as finance committee chair.
“I’d been told by certain people I was not allowed to have access to financial records,” she says.
According to Smith, board president Samuel Trapp gave Flaherty instructions not to speak to Smith about financial concerns.
“We are in a very bad financial situation,” says Smith.
Trapp, who returned from an extended trip to Africa last month, is working to get a handle on the financial situation.
“Commissioner Smith had full control of the finances, especially while I was away for three months,” says Trapp.
