Mt. Lebanon Magazine, a publication produced by the municipality, held its 16th annual awards ceremony for its "This Town Would Be Different Without... " program and honored five residents.
They are:
• Elizabeth Castonguay, for her work with Celebrating Diversity and for giving countless hours to teen residents of Three Rivers Youth's Academy House.
• James Jamieson, for assisting at the Mt. Lebanon Library; for giving more than 175 donations of blood platelets to the Central Blood Bank; and for helping the Mt. Lebanon High School Percussion Ensemble.
• Thomas Joseph, for his problem-solving and leadership skills on the boards of Outreach Teen & Family Services and the Achieva Family Trust;
• John Conti, for sharing his expertise on Mt. Lebanon's residential architecture. He is a longtime member of the Mt. Lebanon Historic Preservation Board. He wrote the community's "Living with Styles" book, and has hosted several architectural tours. He speaks frequently on architecture to community groups.
• Irving Popkin, for his work as a role model for others who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A founder and board member of the Parkinson Chapter of Greater Pittsburgh, he chooses to help others cope with the disease by injecting humor and perspective into their lives.
The honorees were selected by a panel of previous winners. They received citations from U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, state Sen. John Pippy and state Rep. Matt Smith.
The event was videotaped and will air on local cable channel 19.
