The list is longer than you think.
Diana Knapp spends many hours per day at Hahn Nursery & Garden Shop in Ross Township talking about deer. Specifically, Knapp counsels customers on how to prevent their flowerbeds, shrubs and trees from becoming buffets for white-tailed visitors. The list of plants resistant to deer might be longer than you think—see PDF file in this article's media gallery—and there are few basic rules of thumb. "Most of the grasses they never bother," Knapp said. "And there are grasses for sun, grasses for shade.

The mother of two from Ross Township vanished this past September.
To an outsider, Monday, Sept. 26, 2011, might have seemed like an average day in Jamie Nichole Peterson's life. Peterson's children, a 9-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, left for school that morning from their Ross Township home in the area of North Fremont Avenue, near Bellevue Borough. Jamie, 30, went to buy groceries at the Giant Eagle at 4110 Brighton Rd., and, according to some reports, also a Home Depot. Then, she returned home. The last person to see Peterson was an ex-boyfriend, who came over early that afternoon to pick up clothing that he had left at her place. Jamie had broken off their five-year relationship three weeks earlier, according to her father, Jim Peterson, a former state constable from Ross. Witnesses said that …

Life gets busy. Deadlines creep up on us all. Patch helps you to remember—before it's too late.
Welcome to Last Chance, a Patch series reminding you of deadlines you don't want to miss. This week's dates to remember? 1.) Today is the last day for property owners in Allegheny County to file formal appeals of their court-ordered property reassessments. Forms must be postmarked on or before today, April 2. They also may be taken to one of several collection points today. "I encourage all property owners to file a formal appeal by Monday's deadline to preserve their legal rights," County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said in a statement. "In fact, I am filing an appeal on my own property because I do not agree with its 2013 court-ordered reassessment value," he said. "Appeals may always be withdrawn, but once Monday's deadline passes, …
