"Her curiosity and ability to connect the dots from one historical 
document to another led to the discovery that the community was founded in 
1905, not 1902, as Beechview's Web site and local historians had touted."

"Since then, a core of dedicated civic and community people have quickly 
organized to arrange the Beechview Centennial Celebration Committee to 
plan for the July 23, 2005, 100th anniversary. Luckily, there had been no 
celebration in 1992."

e.g. "Luckily, they did not celebrate the 100th anniversary when they 
originally thought the 90th should have been"

Good math there...
