If you are reading this magazine, chances are that you are familiar with the federal government’s attempts to close the 911th Airlift Wing, the public outcry that has occasioned it, and the significance of celebrating such a milestone. Opened in the years leading up to World War II to protect Pittsburgh's vital steel industry, the base has outlasted the circum- stances prompting its construction, and multiple attempts now to close it. Last year, we ran a lengthy piece about the 911th that focused largely on the unique economic value of the base, both to the federal government and our local community. We also touched on some of the ways that reservists serve our commu- nity directly in an official capacity. In this issue of Allegheny West Magazine, we profile a 911th reservist who started an organization with his fellow 911th airmen to volunteer their free time to fellow area veterans. These individuals know all about the trials and hardships that come with being a deployed serviceperson, and then having to reintegrate into civilian life. Deployment, however, affects not only military personnel, but also their families. Realizing as much, these individuals have been doing everything from fixing cars to patching roofs for the families of deployed local military personnel, and they’d eventually like to offer their services to those in need across the community. Many quality individuals serve at the 911th and 131st Refueling Wing, and in part because of the outcry from both the public and elected officials, including the likes of Congressman Tim Murphy, Representative Mark Mustio, Senator Matt Doug Hughey Smith, Governor Tom Corbett, and others, those individuals still call our community home. Assistant Editor It is our honor and privilege at Allegheny West to be able to continue to write about them.

Riesling: A Versatile Wine Riesling is one of the better wines for food pairing because of its balance of intense acidity, minerality, and fruit. Most would agree that it would be difficult to find a more accommodating wine for a broad range of food than this delightful white wine varietal. A high acid content allows riesling to handle hearty sauces and high-end meats while innate fruit flavors lend charm for tackling highly spiced foods. Our semi-sweet riesling pairs well with almost all Asian (Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian) cuisine along with other diverse menus, specifically barbecue, and Southwestern style dishes. Try riesling with barbecued ribs and chicken, corned beef, crab, or cured meats. You won’t be disappointed. In addition, this light, pleasant wine goes well with egg dishes, guacamole, ham, curries, onion rings, pork (especially pulled pork), and hot dogs. $OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH-XO\$XJXVW Volant Mill Winery Nestled within the farmlands of western Pennsylvania think of themselves as “wine drinkers” may be surprised by sits the Janoski family farm and greenhouse.

Before carpenters can join the Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters, and go on to represent the highest qualities and standards required by the union, they first must complete a four-year apprenticeship program at the organization’s training facility near Settlers Cabin Park. This year, as some fourth-year carpentry apprentices were preparing to graduate and become journeymen, they took part in an event that both tested their skills and benefitted some good causes. On May 7, while a number of those apprentices built lean-tos and octagonal picnic tables for area parks, four apprentices competed against each other by building one-fourth of a storybook house. Once completed, the four parts were assembled, and each apprentices’ workmanship graded. That house has since been donated to the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, a massive project that aims to reclaim 460 acres of former strip mine and convert it into a thriving garden and park. Botanic Garden President Greg Nace and Director of Develop- ment Kitty Vagley were both on hand to watch the apprentices’ work, as was Board Member Judy Wojanis, president of Wojanis Hydraulic Supply Company in North Fayette. Kitty says plans are to install the house in the Book Worm Glen section of the garden’s Eastern European Woodlands area. She says the garden is currently working on an attraction entitled “Mr. Roger’s Garden of Make-Believe,” and that the theme will be evident throughout. Working on the house were Seth Greenier of the South Hills and Zeus Construction, Michael Howard of Irwin and Stevens Painton Corporation, Daniel Nill of West Mifflin and MBM Contracting, Inc., and Robinson resident Brian Kovacs, who works for DCK Worldwide. The house was built out of environ- mentally friendly, non-wolmanized wood encased in cedar shingles. Its roof was made largely out of materials produced from recycled paper. -XO\$XJXVWZZZDOOHJKHQ\ZHVWPDJD]LQHFRP $OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH-XO\$XJXVW SUBMITTED BY MOON TOWNSHIP Based on the results of an online public opinion survey ran by Moon Township this spring, residents question if there are enough historic resources left to preserve. “There certainly are,” says Tracy Zinn of T&B Planning, the consulting firm hired to prepare the Preservation Plan. “In fact, Moon Township’s important historic resources date from the 1800s up through 1965,” says Zinn. The Township’s Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) is working with the consulting firm to prepare the Preservation Plan. Approxi- mately 150 resources have been identified so far. All residents are invited to attend a public participation session on Wednesday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m. in the Moon Township Adminis- tration Office auditorium at 1000 Beaver Grade Road. The firm will present the inventory of historic resources, give preliminary recommendations, answer questions, and seek input. Contact Lora Dombrowski at the township administration office, (412) 262-1700 or [email protected] for more information. Moon is in the process of creating an Historic Preservation Action Plan to highlight the township’s historic and cultural significance. The primary goals of the Preservation Plan are to identify and map the township’s historic and cultural resources, increase public awareness of the township’s history and historic assets, prepare a prioritized plan of action, avoid inappropriate demolitions of historic structures while encouraging economic growth and community development, and, finally, to encourage voluntary preservation efforts through education and public awareness.

He said baby boomers, individuals with disabilities or accessibility issues, commuters, and beginner cyclists are the primary market for electric bikes. However, he stressed that they are for everyone. Catherine Tolliver, owner of Pedego Pittsburgh, points to her own experience as an example of how electric-assist bikes provide opportunities for riders and small businesses alike.

FOR has been approved as an educational improvement organization under the EITC for the Father Ryan Arts Center’s Reader’s Theater program and arts education programs for children and youth. Since 2008, more than 1,000 elementary school students from several schools and school districts have participated in Reader’s Theater. Reader’s Theater introduces second and third graders to theater and visual arts while improving their reading fluency, vocabulary, and listening comprehension. This highly successful program has doubled and even tripled these elementary school students’ reading scores. At the Father Ryan Arts Center, a wide variety of arts education and enrichment programs for children and youth are also offered year-round. Skilled artisans teach a plethora of classes and workshops - from visual arts to performing arts - to children and youth from 300 local families. The Pennsylvania EITC program allows eligible businesses to direct a percentage of their Pennsylvania state taxes to fund innovative educational programming. A list of educational improvement organizations can be found at newpa.com/eitc. Businesses subject to one or more of the following taxes are eligible to participate in the EITC program: corporate net income tax, capital stock franchise tax, bank and trust company shares tax, title insurance companies shares tax, insurance premiums tax, mutual thrift institution tax, personal income tax of S corporation shareholders or partnership partners. EAT’N PARK AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO LOCAL STUDENT Eat’n Park Hospitality Group has awarded Eryne Wiethorn, from West Allegheny Senior High School, a scholarship as part of its annual scholarship program. Eryne works at the restaurant chain’s Robinson location. The scholarship program, which provides more than $50,000 in scholarships each year, is designed to reward employees for their work within the company and the local community. This year, 19 local high school students were awarded scholarships. According to Jeff Broadhurst, President and CEO of Eat’n Park Hospitality Group, the scholarship program creates opportunities for young adults who might not otherwise be able to receive a higher education. “Eat’n Park recognizes the importance of education to a strong community. It’s an honor to be able to provide opportunities for ambitious, hard-working young people who care about their future,” Jeff said. “Our scholarship program has the added benefit of helping us recruit and retain quality team members and helping them explore their full potential.” -XO\$XJXVWZZZDOOHJKHQ\ZHVWPDJD]LQHFRP 9dag`VIad] BY NANCY MILLS 7+( 0,5$&8/286*$5'(1 Every year we marvel at the resilience of our perennial garden. No matter how vicious the winter is, the garden returns in the spring. All gardeners wait for the first sign of a crocus, a jonquil or a tulip. I never doubted the return of my garden...until this year. At the end of the summer, I think it was August, a terrible storm hit our property. We actually made the evening news on KDKA. Around 6 o'clock, my son called and said the wood shed is gone!!! The shed that he referred to was 48 foot long and had been there for 75 years. The roof, sidewalls, lattice work and batten board siding were laying on my father's antique tractor and my favorite perennial garden. Now all of you gardeners know that flowers don't give up easily, but this was a challenge for even the most hardy. This area had a border garden running the length of the wood shed, a circle bed, and a border garden along the covered porch. I couldn't have been more skeptical as the recovery began. The area was covered with nails, wood chips, plaster, and shingles. Underneath it all were flowers that I had transplanted from our previous house, a border my daughter had designed, my son-in-law's rose garden, and all of the flowers I had acquired from my garden club friends. The sight was disheartening to say the least. Through- out the winter months, workers trampled the area putting on a new roof and restoring the house. As spring approached, I could only hope that something would make it...you know what is coming...everything came back with full vigor. As a matter of fact, most of the flowers now receive more sun, so they are happier than ever before. The jonquils emerged, followed by the little blue flowers ( my daughter's flowers), the roses were a bit stressed, but the day lilies are better than before the storm. The garden club transplants are out of control with all of the new sunlight. The message is that your garden is eternal and will continue to perform even when you lose faith. And for those of you who were paying attention, the antique Farmall tractor survived under the weight of the structure. A new radiator and a coat of paint and it is good as new.
