The MILEP STMon/Yough Trail Council’s Yough River Trail NewsletterOctober 2020Editor: Terry VotaVolume 29, Issue 2Election Ballot and Annual Membership Meeting Information – Page 6!Note: We expect trail to be closed (MP 120 – MP 129 ; Industry DuraBond)from 15 October 2020 15 April 2021 for Sewer Line installation.From the PresidentBy Mark Place (412) 877-0050mplace@johnplaceinc.com2020 has been an interesting and challenging year foryour trail as we all have dealt with the effects of COVID19. Our two major fund raising events; the ½ Marathonand 5K run/walk and the Yough N Roll ride were bothcanceled. The Visitor’s Center did not open.We are so grateful for the significant increase inmembership, and generous donations that help supporttrail operations along with our event sponsors that havecommitted to 2021. We are also grateful for supportfrom the Allegheny County Regional Asset District forfunding of critical trail repair projects, the ColcomFoundation for their support of the various regionaltrails who lost income this year, and the AmericanWater Foundation for funding of the new hydrationstation being installed at the Boston trailhead.Trail usage was up substantially this year as our friendsand neighbors escaped to the outdoors. Our parkingareas often were full all day, 7 days a week. I amespecially proud of our volunteers who were able tocontinue supporting trail operations while followingappropriate social distancing, face masks and personalsafety. Without these dedicated volunteers, the trailwould never have supported such heavy use this year.Elizabeth Township Sewer ProjectAs I write this in mid-September bids have beenreceived for a 9 mile long Elizabeth Township sewerproject that has been in design for over a decade. Thissewer line will run along the trail between Dura BondBypass MP 129 and the treatment plant in Industry MP 120. See our Webpage/Facebook for updates!Regional Trail Corporation (RTC), which owns the trailbetween Pittsburgh and Connellsville, has entered intoan agreement with the township that will close the trailfrom October 15th, 2020 to hopefully no later than April15th, 2021 as the new sewer line is constructed. Thegoal is to have the trail open by April 15th but there willbe work continuing into May with cleanup, restorationand seeding. We are working closely with the RTC, andthe township to post updates on our respective websites (thebostontrail.com) and our Face Book pages.While this offseason closing is unprecedented, it willbring significant water quality improvement to theYoughiogheny River and critical updates to the trailincluding improved drainage and a new riding surfaceover the entire project distance. Restoration work willnot begin until planting season but by this time nextyear the trail should look great. Please be patient andlook for updates in social media and local print outlets.In closingThis is my 3rd year as President and under our by-lawsthe reigns of the organization will pass to another Boardmember in December for 2021. It has been atremendous experience leading this organization overthe past 3 years. We are blessed with a dedicated Corpof member volunteers and I thank them for their time,and their support. Many years ago, I was told whenrunning for office in a volunteer organization that the#1 goal was do no harm. I hope that I have followedthat path well. Working together I think we haveaccomplished a great deal and the organization remainson solid footing moving forward.

the business named after him. He was succeeded inthat capacity by his daughter, Libby Boden.A Reminder of Sutersville's Historic PastBy Bob CuppBack in the days when there was plenty of work in thelocal coal mines, one of Sutersville's most popular spotswas the Osburn House Hotel, now known as Junebug's,a popular local restaurant and bar. The hotel was builtby Matthew Osburn, who later became one of the newborough's first councilmen.Osburn labored in all kinds of occupations. He was adriver for the Westmoreland Coal Company's mines forsome time, and in 1862, became Superintendent of theY. C. H. Coal Company's mines along the B. & O.Railroad. After many years' service with that company,in 1880, he became the Inspector of Cars for the B. & O.In 1883, he opened a hotel in Smithton, but thefollowing year, according to the Biographical andHistorical Cyclopedia of Westmoreland County, he built"one of the best hotels in the county" in Sutersville."The Osburn House is a fine, conspicuous framebuilding, 40 by 80 feet in dimensions, four stories inheight, and is well-arranged and completely furnishedthroughout for the comfort and accommodations of itsmany patrons. Mr. Osburn understands his businessand the cuisine and bill of fare are equal to those of afirst-class city hotel."During Sutersville's heyday, the crowds overflowedfrom the Osburn House and the other hotels in town,making Saturday nights one big street party inSutersville. Out-of-town businessmen would take thetrain to Sutersville, check into the Osburn, rent a horseand buggy at the nearby livery stable and call on clients.The trains would come almost to the hotel's front door.Sutersville is much quieternow, although freighttrains continue to rumblethrough town on a regularbasis, day and night. Withthe passing of time, thehotel is long gone - but the building remains active,occupied for many years by Junebug's Restaurant andBar. It's one of the oldest buildings in town, toppedwith apartments now instead of hotel rooms.Andrasto Casoni was the "Junebug" for whom thebusiness was named. He was the longtime manager of5I fondly recall stopping at Junebug's with some MYTCfriends for some liquid refreshments after late eveningbike rides, before the Yough River Trail was completelybuilt. Those were the "good old days" for me. But thenany day is a good day.along the Yough River Trail.References:(1) Tribune-Review Focus Magazine 07-28-02, Sutersville: Small-TimeLife Resides Beside River and Rail, By Gerard De Flitch(2) Biographical and Historical Cyclopedia of Westmoreland County,Pennsylvania, 1890, John M. Gresham & Co., PhiladelphiaEditor’s Note: At the restaurant we talked with BrandyKenders, Andrasto Casoni’s granddaughter, asking how he gotthe nickname “Junebug”. She related he was born inBlythedale and was a large ( 14 pounds) baby. His parents(from Italy) spoke broken English, called him Junior and oftenpushed him (because of his size) in a buggy. So people calledhim “junior-in-a-buggy”; shortened to Junebug!By Jeff PavettiAs you may know, MYTC maintains nearly 15 miles ofthe Great Allegheny Passage on a 100% volunteer basis.In 2020, we successfully recruited a small group ofvolunteers who have adopted a mile or two of the Trailfor periodic litter pickup and removal.Special thanks to George Cann, who immediatelyadopted a mile of trail after joining the MYTC this July.Other MYTC volunteers who kept the Trail clean thisyear included Marei Burnfield, Jeff Pavetti as well as thecrew at the Maintenance Shop.We hope that you will consider joining us in 2021.Please contact Jeff Pavetti at jeffpavetti@gmail.com orcall 724-527-1866 for details.Social media sites for Mon/Yough Trail.FacebookWebPage-www.thebostontrail.com
