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 8QFRYHULQJWKH +LVWRU\RI2LOLQ2XU7RZQV If you’ll recall, in our previous issue of Allegheny West Magazine, we ran a piece on the history of oil drilling in the Robinson Township area. It’s a little known facet of our local history, but one that left a significant mark, and seemed all the more relevant to us in light of the recent natural gas drilling boom. We also ran versions of this story in our other two editions. In the October West Allegheny issue, we looked at how oil built an entire town. This month, for our final installment, we ran a piece in our Moon edition examining what happened to the industry there, and how it ultimately disappeared. You can read both versions on our Web site, where we have the current Moon edition posted, and the October West Allegheny edition available under the archives tab. While you’re there, I hope you’ll flip through some of these other issues to get an idea of what we covered in your neighboring areas over the past year. If you enjoy our Montour edition, I’m sure you’ll find some other stories of interest about our region. We look forward to bringing you more intriguing topics in the coming year.
