West A-Feb 2013 )HEUXDU\0DUFKZZZDOOHJKHQ\ZHVWPDJD]LQHFRP )URPWKH PUBLISHER & EDITORS +RSH:H$UH6HUYLQJ<RX:HOO The holidays have passed once again, and another new year is upon us. We are all most likely making our resolutions and setting our goals for the year. Here at Allegheny West Magazine, we’re taking a moment to look back on the year and review what we accomplished, both as a publication and as a business. What did we do well? Where did we fall short? What can we do better? Looking at ourselves during 2012 helps us to set new goals for 2013. We are always open to suggestions for improvement, story ideas, and more. From our first issue in 1999 until now, in 2013, our goal has always been to be a community connector, a liaison to share good news, information, and announcements that are important to you. That goal will remain unchanged in 2013 as we maintain our mission statement, “Allegheny West Magazine is an all positive, good news publication mailed free into the homes and businesses to connect communities, promote people, heighten awareness about the richness of the airport region, and build pride in the western suburbs of Allegheny County.” Our goals in 2012 included increasing our social media presence by adding more postings on our Facebook page, and communicating more regularly with our advertisers and local businesses through an e-mail newsletter program called Constant Contact. Consider “liking” our Facebook page so you, too, can get updates in between magazine issues. We hope we are doing our job to serve you well. And, we hope to continue that effort through 2013. Happy New Year! Pat Jennette, Publisher & Editor +HOS6XVWDLQ/RFDO$UWV If you’ll recall, we ran a piece in our October/November issue about some West Allegheny art teachers, students, and alumni who were working to create an online auction to support the art program’s annual art show. The date of the auction kick-off has been set for March 5, which doesn’t leave the art club a whole lot of time to get everything together. They’re calling on local artists to donate artwork and art-related services, and to buy those items through the auction. As art teacher Carol DeWitt told me awhile back, the idea has the potential to create an entrepreneurial, self-sustaining opportunity, as it helps fund this year’s art show, entitled, “Renaissance 2 Revival.” The arts permeate our daily lives and drive our economy. Yet under No Child Left Behind, schools have been given few incentives to continue funding them. This is an opportunity to show that the arts are indeed economically viable, and to create an alternative funding model that could be utilized by art programs at other schools. You can learn more about the auction in Karen Ruhl’s piece in the school newsletter on page 17, and by following the link we’ll be posting on our Facebook page.

(AECOM) has prepared the following responses to the PADEP comments dated June 1, 2018. AECOM is submitting two hard copies and two electronic copies of this comment/response letter and revised documents for the Falcon Ethane Pipeline System (Project) per the discussion held with PADEP, SPLC, and AECOM on June 1, 2018. Please add/replace these documents in your existing hard copies. Per previous discussion with Josh Shaffer at the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and with respect to the Corps’ effort to reduce paper, the Corps’ copy of this comment/response letter will be uploaded to the Corps’ SAFE file upload site. The technical deficiency letter, as requested, is included with this submission as Attachment A. 1. The answer to Question #4 on your General Information Form (GIF), in the Land Use Information section, indicates that the project does not meet the provision of the zoning ordinance or does not have zoning approval. Provide evidence that your project is consistent with local land use planning, pursuant to Sections 105.13(a) and 105.14(b)(8), of the Department's Chapter 105 rules and regulations. The Independence Township zoning ordinance states that there should be a 100-foot setback from residences and a 500-foot setback from “places of congregation.” The pipeline is proposed to be within those setback distances in some instances, such as at the Beaver County Conservation District—which would be considered a place of congregation.

Though saddened by the loss, we are grateful to be a part of his legacy. Tending to his beloved vegetable garden at his home outside of Greensburg, Pa. was a favorite hobby for David Watters. He pointed out that he didn’t plant flowers because, after all, “you can’t eat them.” This appreciation for the outdoors extended to David and his wife Barbara’s other pastimes, spending many happy weekends over the decades enjoying nature with family and friends at Pike Run in the Laurel Highlands.

  • Intimate Wedding
    intimate and adventure wedding guide welcome! Thank you so much for getting in touch with Caroline Moore Photography! I would love to be a part of your wedding, and hope that this guide helps to answer some of your questions about working with me. I want to ensure that we can create beautiful photos together, but do it in a way that allows you to enjoy your day. My goal as a documentary photographer is to capture the story of your whole wedding day by combining candid photos, natural portraits, and small details that make your day unique. I love working with couples who have a little adventure in their hearts. I see life as a series of adventures, which makes it sound like I spend my weekends summiting grand mountains or recovering sunken ships in the Caribbean. It’s really just a willingness to roll with whatever gets thrown at me, and to try to find a little fun in the things we do every day. Anything can be an adventure, if you look at it in the right light. I want your day to be fun and your photos to show it. If you’re relaxed and happy, it shows in your photos, and half of my work is done. I want you to look back at real memories that honestly reflect who you are. More “look how happy we are” and less “this is how our photographer told us to stand.” I’m into catching quiet moments and loud joyful ones. Moody black and whites and bright candids.
