Shalley, Baldwin High's former choral director, died on March 6.

Former Baldwin High School singers said goodbye to longtime choral director Dr. Regis V.

The alumni gathered to sing at the conclusion of the Mass for Shalley, who was Baldwin High's choral director from 1954 to 1981 and died on March 6 at the age of 88.

Pope Benedict XVI to Resign for Health Reasons

The Vatican announces that he will step down on Feb. 28.

Pope Benedict XVI announced on Monday that he will resign effective Feb. 28, The Associated Press is reporting. According to The AP, the 85-year-old pontiff announced his decision in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals on Monday morning, citing his "advanced age and diminishing strength." The pope, leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics worldwide, including those at Baldwin Borough's Saint Albert the Great and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary churches and Whitehall Borough's St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin Church and Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God campus, emphasized that the duties require "both strength of mind and body."

The Rev. James Orr, pastor at Saint Albert's, reacted to the news. "Pope Benedict's abdication is one more sign of his personal humility," Rev. Orr said.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Jan Scheuermann Speaks to Saint Elizabeth Students

The quadriplegic writer was asked tough questions about God and family.

Jan Scheuermann, the Whitehall Borough resident who is making worldwide news as part of a groundbreaking UPMC and University of Pittsburgh brain-computer interface study, has gone back to her roots—all the way back to her former elementary school in south Baldwin Borough. On Friday morning, Scheuermann celebrated Mass alongside students from Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Roman Catholic School before wheeling in front of the Saint Elizabeth Church altar to talk about her disease, her faith and the crazy turn that her life has taken into the very public eye. Scheuermann, 53, grew up on Brentview Drive—just two blocks from the church/school—and finished her time at Saint E's as a 1977 graduate of the now-defunct Saint Elizabeth High School. A …

In Memory: Ralph Leng

Baldwin-Whitehall's Leng was a 1955 NIT champion.

There was a time when the National Invitation Tournament was the best college basketball event in the country and its champion was considered the best scholastic team in the land. That was the case in 1955 when the Duquesne University Dukes won the NIT behind the superb play of Sihugo Green, a future No. 1 NBA draft choice. Green's practice partner that year?: Baldwin Borough's Ralph Leng, who died on Sunday after a yearlong battle with leukemia, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Leng, who was 77, graduated from the now-defunct St. Wendelin High School in Pittsburgh before earning his piece of the national title by sharpening the play of Green and the rest of Duquesne's starting lineup. "The coaches looked at my dad and figured he was …
