Despite a world full of depressing news, with
the economy down and unemployment up,
putting together yet another issue of this magazine for you, the reader, reaffirms for me the
sincere goodness in people.
Do you know about Moon Township residents
Christine and Ray Pronto? The Moon Township
Board of Supervisors recognized them for the
continued support of the community and its
programs. And, Moon Middle School student
Tyler Casasanta raised about $3,000 for the
American Heart Association. There is a buzz going on at the Hyatt Pittsburgh International Airport, where Moon resident and executive
hotel chef, Chris Koegel and his team are assembling one of the largest
gingerbread houses ever as part of the hotel’s month-long effort to bring
awareness to autism. The hotel has teamed up with the Autism Center of
Pittsburgh, whose director is also in Moon, for this
important cause.
We enjoyed being part of the Botanic Garden’s Botanic Bash at Roselea
Farm in October, where funds were raised for this most important
community gem that is starting to take shape here in our region. Enjoy
the photo spread we’ve put together of some of those who were in
attendance!
We share even more news of student achievers and of members of the
community doing so many good deeds for their neighbors in need as
this holiday season approaches.
I don’t know about you, but when I finish putting together all of this
good news, I am comforted by knowing that we have a great community
full of wonderful and generous people.
Keep the good news coming! Thank you for everything!
And, being the good news people that we are, we are happy to
announce that our new Web site went up in September:
www.alleghenywestmagazine.com. Take a peek and tell us what you
think! We will continue to add to it over time with news and information for you.

other services at nine local nonprofit organizations during Orange Days. Orange Days of Caring
are regular business days that are set aside by GSK for associates to take time away from the

If you answer yes to a majority of these questions, you may be
experiencing difficulty with your vestibular system. The vestibular
system includes the parts of the inner ear and the brain that help
control balance and eye movements. You may be a candidate
for vestibular rehabilitation, which is an exercise-based program
for reducing the symptoms of movement-related dizziness and
imbalance.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is an alternative treatment
involving specific exercises that can eliminate or significantly
reduce symptoms by promoting central nervous system compensation for inner-ear deficits. The program is designed to: 1)
Decrease dizziness and visual symptoms; 2) Increase balance
and walking functions; 3) Increase general activity.
The program may include exercises for:

ā,PSURYLQJILWQHVVDQGHQGXUDQFH
Exercises vary depending on the type of inner-ear disorder and
the associated symptoms.
Remember to follow-up with your primary care physician for a
general healthcare check-up. If appropriate, you may be referred
to an otolaryngologist or neurologist to diagnose your vestibular
problem. From there, you will be referred to a physical therapist
that performs vestibular rehabilitation.
At THE pt GROUP Physical Therapy, the physical therapist will
work closely with you to design a comprehensive home exercise program that will start you on your road to recovery.

Senior living has taken on a whole new meaning with
the burgeoning growth of those Americans who are
reaching retirement age from the baby boomer generation.
In the Allegheny County area, resources abound to
find the right type of living arrangement for one’s
needs. From high-rise, independent apartment living to
attended nursing home care, the options are numerous.
New state regulations and a plan for government
funding officially incorporate assisted living as a new
category of retirement living that starts in Pennsylvania
in 2011.
Assisted living has “unofficially” existed in the state
for a long time. However, this new designation, which
was approved in June by the Department of Public
Welfare regulations that cover assisted living, will allow
personal care homes to apply for assisted-living status
once the regulations take effect in January 2011.
Besides the Yellow Pages, there are numerous
resources for older adults to research options in living
arrangements.
“Pittsburgh Senior News,” published since 1993 by
Lynn Hogan Webster, is a nugget of valuable information published monthly. She also publishes “Beaver
County Senior News,” “Butler County Senior News,” and
both the Allegheny County and Beaver County “Senior
Resource Guides.”
Lynn’s publications offer resources from adult living
resources and tips and suggestions to nutrition, medical resources, and entertainment. She can be reached
at (412) 367-2522.
“New Lifestyles: The Source for Seniors,”
(www.NewLifeStyles.com) is published out of Texas,
and offers a guide to the levels of care, where to find
that care, and information about senior programs and
services. It is available on local newsstands and area
churches.
Allegheny County Department of Human Services
offers its Area Agency on Aging program. Seniors can
reach them at (412) 350-5460. The agency provides
social services and senior center services.
Among those many services is LifeSpan, a program
that provides mid-day lunches, activities, and trips for
older adults. To reach LifeSpan, call (412) 464-1300.

Valley Care Association brings resources to seniors, caregivers at home
A new program is now available on the Moon Community Access Television that
helps senior citizens tune in to local health and education resources from their homes.
“Active Aging,” presented by the nonprofit Valley Care Association, will address
quality of life topics for seniors as well as the challenges and decisions faced by their
caregivers. The series premiered in October on MCA-TV, Comcast channel 14 and
Verizon FiOS channel 35.
In the first episode of this quarterly program, hosts John Seitz of Valley Care’s Home
Safe Home program and Leigh Neidergall of Concordia Visiting Nurses discuss
simple home safety modifications, such as shower grip bars and stair railings, which
can help seniors stay in their own homes longer.
“Our mission at Valley Care is to help older adults live safely at home as long as
possible while also providing support to their caregivers,” said Heather Sedlacko,
executive director of Valley Care Association. “This television series is an exciting new
way for us to share information with the community that can empower today’s busy
seniors and their families to make informed choices.”
The “Active Aging” series joins other long-running MCA-TV programs geared
toward the senior audience. In “Senior Workout,” Moon Township resident Linda
Francis, a 25-year MCA-TV volunteer, leads a low-impact aerobic workout that helps
older adults stay fit from home. For the past five years, the Sewickley Senior Men’s
Club also has broadcast its weekly guest speakers, such as a recent visit from a U.S. Air
Force Thunderbirds pilot.
“MCA-TV provides an alternative way to offer senior programming to the
community by bringing it directly into the home,” said James Koepfinger, executive
director of MCA-TV.
“We are pleased that Valley Care Association is adding to our programs for this age
group by bringing its health and education resources to our viewers.”
Valley Care Association has been serving seniors since 1978.
Valley Care Association offers adult day services at its centers in Moon Township
and Ambridge. Its Home Safe Home program provides home safety modifications for
older adults. For more information, call 412-749 5257 or visit

host a Senior Expo in their district so
that residents either nearing
retirement age or older can visit
dozens of local representatives.
These representatives provide
valuable information on such topics
as healthcare, senior housing, taxes,
safety, and more.
This year’s Senior Expo was held at
the Crown Plaza Hotel

Chris Dilla, owner of Bocktown Beer and Grill in North Fayette,
does it. So does Michelle Mason, owner of LaStone Therapy, also
in North Fayette. So, too, does Donna Dobos, owner of Willow
Creek Crossing in the heart of downtown Oakdale. Add to that list
RWG Archery and The Painted Giraffe, both in Imperial. Oh, and
don’t forget The Flowersmith in Kennedy and the Village Shoppe
in Moon. Even local stores The Happy Baby Company, West Hills
Pet Center and Northern Light Company, also all local businesses,
are doing it.
What do they do? They are all locally owned, independent, small
business owners who support and promote The 3/50 Project, a
growing national movement to encourage local residents to make
educated decisions about their dollars when they go out to spend.
In a nutshell, it is about frequenting three local businesses each
month and spreading one’s $50 in discretionary spending among
them. Do it each month, and small business will stay alive and well
here in the airport suburbs.
Donna Dobos passes out the flyer provided on The 3/50 Project
Web site to her customers. Chris Dilla shares the flyer and also has
a blog online about the importance of spending local and doing
business with local people.
In an age when online shopping is becoming more and more
popular and as more people short on time find it easier to order
from the computer, it is important to point out that by doing
one’s shopping in this way, none of the money stays in the local
neighborhood. Yet, by stopping at the local gift shop or hardware store to buy that special item, local people can keep local
business alive.
Everyone has $50 a month to spend. We spend it on
everything from food and drinks to health and wellness
products. With the national economy at a near standstill, it is
more important than ever to support the hundreds of small
businesses that work so hard to keep their storefronts alive.
Cinda Baxter, creator of The 3/50 Project, is a veteran
consultant and one-time retailer who has launched a national
effort to promote regional economies. She provides the
collateral materials online for a nominal cost or even no-cost, so
that small businesses can get the message out among their
neighborhoods that it is important to buy local.
Says Chris Dilla, owner of Bocktown, “I learned of The 3/
50 Project from Kim of McGinnis Sisters, who insisted that I
‘google’ it. I did the very next day, because the message
already made sense to me. Bocktown needed to be involved.”
“I was already saying the same thing as Cinda Baxter in
my own way. Bocktown has Pittsburgh Pride Partners
whom we do business with to bring the best quality ingredients to
our menu,” she added.
“I want the area’s shoppers to find us, and other locally owned businesses
in the area. We need them. We want them, and we can offer a better and
unique experience. I firmly believe you will get more quality and satisfaction when doing business within your community with your neighbors,”
Chris stressed.
And thus, the reason for The 3/50 Project. More details are outlined on
the materials below.
As you begin your holiday shopping this season, be sure to take a look at
the promotions being offered by our local businesses that are shared on the
following pages. Stop in. Buy something. Thank them for being part of
your community. Help them stay there.

So just what does it take to create a gigantic gingerbread house from
scratch? Moon Township resident Chris Koegel, executive chef at the
Hyatt-Pittsburgh International Airport, got involved in this project early in
the fall when the hotel staff wanted to create a buzz around the hotel
for the holidays and decided to make a larger-than-life gingerbread
“hotel.”
As Chris describes it, “Soon we decided, let’s do the whole airport
property.”
“Paul Shriner, our hotel engineer, got on board to help us with the base
construction when we all started thinking about a charity we could
support for the holidays,” he continued.
Paul, who lives in Hopewell, mentioned that his nephew, John, had
autism, and described to the staff how prevalent it is, with one of 100
children in Pittsburgh being diagnosed.
The Hyatt staff contacted the Autism Center of Pittsburgh, where they
learned that all of the money raised for the organization stays right here
in the area.
Tina Mahat, director of sales and marketing for the Hyatt - Pittsburgh
International Airport, contacted Cindy Waeltermann, founder and director
of the Autism Center of Pittsburgh, which operates a branch in Moon
Township. (NOTE: Allegheny West Magazine ran a story on the Autism
Center in the November 2009 issue.)
On November 17, the gingerbread house will be unveiled to the public.
Chris said he and his staff started working on the project just after
Labor Day. He estimates the completed project will have used about 100
pounds of gingerbread, which his kitchen staff baked, 750 eggs, 50
pounds of powdered sugar, and about 50 pounds each of gumdrops,
peppermint, and chocolate.
“We have a great team here in our kitchen that collaborated on this
project, baking everything that could be baked for this project,” Chris
noted.
Paul cut out the wood base and shell for all of the components, which
was then used as the basic frame for the gingerbread production.
The gingerbread structure will reside in the hotel lobby through the
holidays, as the anchor for the series of events that will occur between
now and December 30 to benefit the Autism Center of Pittsburgh (note:
see page 19 for details). They include, on Saturday, December 11, dining
for autism, and Breakfast with Santa starting at 9 a.m., followed by a
walk-a-thon. Also part of the benefit activities will be an auction of
paintings by local autistic students, a bakery competition among some of
the top bakeries in the PIttsburgh area, and more.
“Paul’s nephew, John, is truly the catalyst that started this whole
project going,” Chris said.
In between Chris and his staff working on the gingerbread project over
the past two months, he oversees 16 cooks and all culinary operations
of the hotel.
He attended the Culinary Institute of Hyde Park in New York, and joined
the Hyatt in 1993. Chris resides in Moon Township with his wife, Carol,
and two sons, Cassidy and Coulter, who are a senior and sophomore,
respectively, at Moon Area High School.

If it weren’t for Mrs. Mary Spencer Nimick, 52 acres of land could
be just another neighborhood or shopping center in Moon
Township, Pennsylvania. Thanks to Mary and her love of nature,
Robin Hill Park, located at 949 Thorn Run Road, has been preserved
and utilized for recreational purposes for residents. According to Dr.
Robert Jockers, founder of the Moon Township Historical Society
and author of Forgotten Past, “Mrs. Nimick wanted to give a gift to
Moon Township, and although it may seem unusual to want to do
something like that, it was a very wonderful gift.”
The estate consists of a “24 room Georgian mansion, a large carriage
house, two oil wells, and nature woodlands” (1). In her will in 1971,
Mary “requested that the property be preserved ‘for perpetual use as a
park or wildlife refuge and for the enjoyment of the residents of
Moon Township and their friends. Said property to be known
hereafter as Robin Hill Park.’”(1). There’s no denying that Mary
understood the consequences of rapid growth and development; she
has, in a sense, saved the future of a small part of Moon Township.
Her legacy lives on as Robin Hill Park, now comprised of about 191
acres, continues to represent an appreciation of nature and the
coming together of a community.
“The Nimick family home was built in 1924. It was here that they
raised their family of five boys and one girl” (1). When the estate
was bequeathed to Moon Township, there was a question as to
whether or not to keep the mansion. Robert states that “at the time,
Robin Hill mansion itself needed some work, and because of that
the Robin Hill Associate group was formed. The group worked so
hard and so long to try to preserve the mansion and restore it.”
Fundraisers and donations were necessary in order to maintain the
property. Unfortunately still true to this day, “it takes a lot of money
to try to preserve the past,” explains Robert.
Inspired by Moon Park, nature trails, originally planned by Mort
and Marge Steele, were established throughout the woodlands
beginning in 1973. After two years, the trails were completed.
President of the Moon Township Historical Society Ronald Potter
describes the volunteer effort: “Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts,” along
with other volunteers, cleared and “put wood-chips on the trails
themselves.” There are different color marks on the trees that follow
each trail. These woodlands contain various plants and wildlife that

make it enjoyable to take
advantage of the benches that
are scattered throughout the
trails.
Also located at Robin Hill Park
is an historic log house that dates
back to the early 1820’s. The
Historical Society purchased the
house in 1976 for their Bi-Centennial Service Project. Originally
located in Washington County, the log house was dismantled and
transported via the U.S. Air Force. Ronald reveals that members of the
Historical Society, as well as “their families and friends of all ages...
gutted the interior of the house, then tagged and numbered each
individual log with metal tags.” The house was moved “log by log to
Robin Hill, where it was rebuilt. We rebuilt it ourselves, which took
about seven to eight years.” This was all done without government
funding as well. According to Dr. Robert Jockers, the stone from the
fireplace inside of the log home was originally from the Old Stoops
Ferry Railroad Station.
Although the log house was once rented out for special activities, it is
now used as a home for the Historical Society. Even so, the house
represents what life was like as
an early settler. Furthermore, this
project has added a significant
amount of history and character
to Robin Hill Park that everyone
can appreciate.
Additions to the Park do not
stop at the log cabin. There is
also an herb garden located on
the right side of the building.
Initially, the Herb Society maintained the garden, but then the group
dismantled, leaving the garden unkempt. Last fall, the Moon Township
Garden Club decided to adopt the garden and nourish it back to
health. Mary Skinner, a member of the Garden Club, explains that
they didn’t have a plan or a way to even identify the overgrown plants.
“ We now have it in pretty good shape. We have cleaned it up and we
have weeded and we have cut things back. We also have planted new
plants...We’ve been making plant markers so that people can see the
names of the plants.” The garden is divided into many different
sections: medicinal, tranquility, culinary, mint, mythology, fragrance,
tea, and more! Mary includes: “the township is putting new fence in
different places in moon township’s park and they want the fence
around the garden to match the other fence, so they will be putting
new fencing around the garden. It is a lot of work and I hope we can
keep it up...” A Picture cannot capture the beauty of the garden or the
hard work that has been put into it. The Garden Club has really done
a wonderful job in giving life
back to this small treasure at
Robin Hill Park.
Robin Hill is a park for all ages
and many activities. The house
is used for classes like dance, art,
and more. It can also be rented
out (certain fees apply) for
weddings and receptions. Any
programs or activities are
organized by Moon Township Parks and Recreation. The backyard is
very picturesque with a beautiful stone wall and white gazebo. To the
left of the backyard sits an amphitheater that has been used for
concerts, plays, etc. Peace and bliss can be found along with the
plants in the herb garden. An interesting history lesson lies within
the logs and fireplace of the log home. The carriage house is used as
the Moon Area Senior Citizen’s center, where meetings and card
games can take place. Adventure seekers and anyone who
appreciates nature will fall in love with the preserved woodlands.
The trails that are overflowing with green gifts and wild creatures
create a sense of mystery and awe. The modern treasure hunt called
Geocaching has found it’s way into the trails as well; a few geocaches
can be found by looking up Robin Hill Park on Geocaching.com.
So much love and selfless work has been put into Robin Hill Park,
and all for the enjoyment of the community. There are many
passionate people who are devoted to maintaining and preserving
the park without asking for a paycheck. Although the future is everchanging and unpredictable, Robin Hill Park will forever be
preserved as the heartfelt contribution from Mrs. Mary Spencer
Nimick. When Mary willed her property to Moon Township, she
began a cycle of contributing and volunteering for the greater good
of the community.

Twenty-three Moon Area High School seniors and recent graduates have been
named AP Scholars by the College Board following their outstanding performance on
the college-level Advanced Placement (AP) exams.
Nationally, nearly 1.8 million high school students took the AP Exams in May
2010 and only 18 percent of students performed at a level to merit various AP Scholar
recognitions.
Moon Area Class of 2010 graduates Joseph Andros, Nathaniel Hendrick, David
Korotky, Christopher Marince, Kayla Miller, Daniel Murray, and Christopher Tramposch
earned the designation of AP Scholar with Distinction signifying each had scored an
average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on five or
more exams.
Graduates Kathleen Donahoe, Sarah Krisher, and MAHS senior April Peng
earned the designation of AP Scholar with Honor after receiving an average grade of at
least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more AP exams.
A total of 13 students were named AP Scholars after receiving grades of 3 or
higher on three or more AP Exams. These students were 2010 graduates Sierra
Anderson, Dylan Corwin, Nicholas Grace, Rachel Hays, Nicole Kunkle, Zachary Liskay,
Ellen Martin, and Maddison Paule; and seniors Neil Frick, Caitlin Irion, Aaron Johnson,
Erin Kaminski, and Priyeta Panigrahi.
Most of the nation’s colleges and universities award credit, advanced placement,
or both based on successful performance on the AP Exams. More than 3,200
institutions award a full year’s credit (sophomore standing) to students
presenting a sufficient number of qualifying grades in the more than
30 AP exams available.

MOON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Moon Area School District (MASD) adopted a new English and
Language Arts curriculum program for all seven of its schools for the 2010-11
school year.
“The new district English and language arts curricula replace materials that
our students have been using for the last nine years. Forty plus teachers and
administrators worked an entire year examining and preparing materials for
this adoption. The end result is a cutting-edge program that will prepare our
students with 21st century skills,” remarked Dr. Donna K. Milanovich,
MASD Superintendent of Schools.
Further commenting on the work of the committee, Kim Jones Prevost,
MASD Assistant Director of Curriculum, added, “The committee engaged in
a rigorous process of research review, data analysis of student achievement
results, and site-based visits to other districts in order to make an informed
decision that will challenge all students K-12.”
With the new adoption, the high school implemented several changes,
primarily to the 12th grade English program. Although seniors must take a
full credit of English to fulfill their graduation requirement, students now
have the option of taking two of eight half-credit English courses. These
courses include Contemporary Fiction, Poetry, Survey of British

Conti Dinello, J.H. Brooks Elementary principal, of the new Treasures®
program by Macmillan McGraw-Hill. “In addition, ‘leveled readers’ that
are tailored to the ability level of students within the same lesson are a
distinct advantage in differentiating learning.” The new series, as well,
provides teachers with materials for learning centers, interactive
whiteboard flipcharts to use with Promethean boards, and
online resources. “The program allows easy access to all its components
through online resources,” said Allard Elementary fourth grade teacher
Christine Dushack.
As part of the new curriculum, students entering grades 6-12
participated in the new Summer Reading program, which requires
students to read a novel and complete an accompanying assignment.
According to Moon Township Public Library Director Maria
Joseph, public use of the library increased during the summer months.
A total of 277 items were borrowed that directly related to the program.

Township campus. The 18,000-square-foot facility is set to
open in the fall of 2011, and will
include classroom space, the PNC
Trading Center, the U.S. Steel
Videoconferencing and Technology
Resource Center, and the Allegheny
Technologies Global Library.
“We are grateful for this generous
gift from the Richard King Mellon
Foundation, which is an affirmation
of the numerous contributions the
RMU School of Business has made
to the civic and economic life of the
Pittsburgh region,” said RMU President Gregory G. Dell’Omo.
The RMU School of Business is the largest of the university’s
five academic schools, and in 2009 it earned accreditation by
AACSB International – The Association for the Advancement
of Collegiate Schools of Business. Only 4 percent of business
schools worldwide have received this prestigious designation.
Other gifts for the business school building include
$520,000 from the PNC Foundation for the trading center;
$500,000 from the United States Steel Foundation for the
videoconferencing center; and $250,000 from ATI for the
library.
“These gifts demonstrate the faith that business and
community leaders have in our ability to prepare the next
generation students to succeed in an ever-changing global
economy and to make meaningful contributions to their
community,” said Dell’Omo.
The Richard King Mellon Foundation also gave $2 million to
provide an endowment for RMU’s Bayer Center for Nonprofit
Management. The Bayer Center was launched in 1999 and
offers management support services to nonprofit organizations,
including consulting in board development, business planning,
collaboration and alliances, financial management, fund
development, organizational effectiveness, and technology
planning.
The Bayer Center is among the very few capacity-building
organizations nationwide to receive an endowment.
“This gift is such an endorsement of 11 years of work. We’re
here because of the Richard King Mellon Foundation, and they
have now secured our future in perpetuity,” said Peggy Outon,
the executive director of the Bayer Center.
The Bayer Center, which was founded with a gift from the
Richard King Mellon Foundation, has worked with 3,000
nonprofits in the 10-county Pittsburgh
metropolitan region. That means that one
out of every two nonprofit organizations
in western Pennsylvania has benefited
from the Bayer Center’s services. The
Bayer Center also provides vital research to
the nonprofit community and the
Pittsburgh region, such as its wage and
benefit survey, which tackles the persistent
wage gap between male and female
nonprofit workers.
“The Bayer Center does such great work for this region and
provides such a service to nonprofits. Especially during these
turbulent economic times the work that they do and the
collaborations they seek are even more important,” said Rebecca
Lucore, chair of the Bayer Center advisory board and executive
director of the Bayer USA Foundation, the other major supporter
of the Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management.
“This gift is a testament to the center and the staff and their
great work, and the expectations of great work to come,” said
Lucore.
RMU is in the midst of a period of unprecedented growth. In
addition to the business school building, an apartment-style
residence hall is under construction and is set to open in the fall of
2011. It will house 190 students. RMU welcomed 900 freshman
students this fall, the largest incoming class in its history.
Approximately 1,500 students are living on campus, also a record.
“The Richard King Mellon Foundation’s support is a vote of
confidence for RMU’s track record and vision for the future. We
are pleased and sincerely appreciate their generous gift, and feel
confident that their investment will pay dividends for the region,”
said David J. Malone, Vice Chairman of the RMU Board of
Trustees and President and CEO of Gateway Financial.

During past decades, the Coraopolis District Sportsmen’s
Association has been used for NRA State, Regional, and National
competitions.
“There were at least 250 shooters from places all over the world,”
Keith said.
Equally as impressive a place, the Forest Grove Sportsmen’s
Association exists today as a valuable aspect of the local community.
The club, founded by brothers Albert and Elwood Baker, began in
McKees Rocks in the early 50s. It was moved to its current location
in 1956 and became an official organization a year later.
“We started with about 20 acres of property, and now own around
220,” said Club Director, Mike Karkalla.
Forest Grove is a rod and gun club, meaning that it also holds
fishing events. A prime example is the annual trout contest held the
second week of April on a two-mile stretch of Montour Creek that
and the muzzleloader range is available on the third Sunday of
every month. Should the weather turn nasty, Forest Grove has an
indoor archery range that is open on Thursdays.
According to Mike, there are 450 members of Forest Grove
Sportsmen’s Association currently. Membership is comprised of law
enforcement, who use the ranges to train and qualify with their
weapons, adults, and youth. Students and military personnel share
the low rate of $5 a year, while the average adult pays $50. Senior
members may qualify for a $10 rate, but must be at least 65 years
of age and have been a club member for at least 15 years.
“Membership is capped at 450 right now, but we do have a
waiting list,” Mike said. Mike also commented that the club’s
ranges can be rented and used, but only by official organizations.
Though membership is limited, one thing is for sure, the members

flows through club property. Other events include a gun bash held
the first Saturday in March to raise money for the club, and a cancer
shoot held in August. Participants of the cancer shoot raise money
for the American Cancer Society while taking part in an 18th-century
style campout with muzzleloaders. The campout, according to Mike,
is done in honor of a respected past club member.
Educational opportunities are also provided by the organization.
Courses in handgun and rifle instruction, safe firearm handling,
home defense, and hunter’s safety are available to members
throughout the year. Children are also selected yearly to attend Penn
State Conservation School to learn about the science involved with
protecting the environment.
Aside from scheduled events, members have the ability to make
use of the club’s many facilities from dawn until dusk. There is an
outdoor archery range open from June-September, a 100-yard rifle
range, and a pistol range. The trap range is open on Monday nights,
of Forest Grove are a dedicated bunch.
For 15 years, Montour Creek was privately stocked by members
of Forest Grove in an attempt to persuade the State Stocking
Program that the water was capable of sustaining trout life.
Succeeding in its goal, Forest Grove did not stop there. It currently
oversees adjacent property owned by Hollow Oak Land Trust in
order to keep track of its local deer population.
A common element shared by both Forest Grove Sportsmen’s
Association and Coraopolis District Sportsmen’s Association is the
fact that, while its members use the resources of the environment,
they care about it as well. Each organization also provides
opportunities in education and socialization that are found
virtually nowhere else within the community. Once a closer look is
taken, the value of these clubs becomes quite clear. These are
important places of impact for both man and deer.

Some scenes from the movie “Silence
of the Lambs” were filmed in the
Glenwillard section of Crescent Township.
Famous singer/songwriter Lou Christie
grew up in the Glenwillard section of
Crescent and attended Moon High
School.
NCAA men’s basketball coach John
Calipari lived in Crescent when he was
an assistant coach at the University of
Pittsburgh under Paul Evans.
From Wikipedia.org
Gateway to Allegheny County, bordering the Ohio River and Beaver County,
the small community of Crescent Township is only 2.3-square-miles large, but
big in heart. It is home to approximately 2,314 residents and a smattering of
businesses that enjoy the ambiance that such a small town provides.
Crescent Township was founded in 1855 because the townspeople at that time
were not able to travel the muddy route that is now Stoops Ferry Road so that
they could vote. Undoubtedly, Crescent folks have always been a take-charge
bunch. In fact, before it incorporated in 1855, it was inhabited by some of its
early residents who were Revolutionary War veterans. Keeping its patriotic spirit
alive, Crescent’s small population includes about 300 military veterans.
The township has its own historical society headed up by Marjorie Johnson
(the second installment story about Crescent will explore the community’s
history). It has a civic club too, overseen by Harriet Lewis. Its parks and recreation
board is an active group of residents who plan a schedule of seasonal activities for
the residents to enjoy.
In fact, the next such event is a holiday Pancake Breakfast on Saturday,
December 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the township building’s multi-purpose
room. On December 18, the recreation board will host a Christmas party starting
at 1 p.m. for residents and their families.
Crescent Township is managed by Patience Eckhardt, herself a township
resident, who took on her duties in April. At 25 years old, she is looking forward
to helping make the community an even better place to live and work.
The upcoming demolition of the Phillips Power Station owned by Duquesne
Light Company will further improve the landscape of the community. Although
the plant was the township’s largest employer at one time, it has become an
eyesore over the years.
The landscape of Crescent is dotted with memorials as well, which take
residents back to days gone by.
With a rich past, and a promising future, Crescent is on the cusp of an exciting
decade ahead.

BOOK CLUBS
Geneaology Club - December 9, 6:30 p.m. Do you want to know
more about your roots? Want to find out what country your dad’s
family came from? What did your mom’s parents and grandparents do
for a living? Do you have any real “characters” in your family tree?
Are there other things you want to know about your ancestors?
Join us at the Moon Library for a NEW Genealogy Club!! Everyone is
welcome and attendance is free! There is no registration. If you are
just curious, if you have started your research but have not gotten
far, or if you have been exploring your family tree for a long time,
come and talk with other people who share this interest. Share your
exciting finds with others who know how tough it can be
(sometimes) to find the old records and how exciting it is to finally see
them! Get ideas of where to look from others in the group. Future
meetings will be monthly on Thursdays at 6:30 PM as well.
