magnificent eagle has been seen flying around. Resident Joe Holmes took this shot during a warm fall day, among other photos he saw of the same bird on subsequent days. With a wingspan of six feet, these birds of prey generally fly around a 2,500 mile radius. The eagle was seen several times more before it disappeared from the landscape. Who says eagles don’t land on the Moon, Moon Township that is!

Life is too short for regrets. Have confidence in your dreams. Follow your passions, wherever they lead. Small joys still exist in our world. Discover the moments of magic and serenity in secluded places. See the world for yourself without hesitation or fear. Discover a personal peace, and as Gandhi once said, “Be the change you would like to see in the world.” Traveling has been in uber-adventurer Brandon Wilson’s blood since he was a young boy attending Moon Area School District. He started traveling with his family as a child. After graduating from Moon in 1971, he never looked back. Since 1999, he has been making long-distance treks of 900 miles or more somewhere in the world every year. Brandon and his wife Cheryl, a television producer originally from Los Angeles, enjoy traveling together. She accompanied him on their walk across Tibet in 1992. Just recently, they completed a momentous trek of discovery. In June, they set off on the recently formed Via Alpina for a nearly 1,500-mile (2,500-kilometer) trek the length of the Alps. Their route took them across eight countries, as they left Trieste, Italy to trek across Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France and Monaco – eventually arriving at the long-awaited Mediterranean Sea in September. This Via Alpina route consisted of more than 100 stages and lots of “ups and downs,” climbing 3,000 feet up and down a mountain every day. So the Wilsons traveled light, carrying just 15-17 pounds (7-8 kilos). The latest ultra-light gear provided by GoLite and Gossamer Gear saw them through the famous unpredictability of the Alps: snow-bound passes, 40+ days of rain, and high altitude winds. Climbing the Alps from hut-to-hut for twenty miles a day provided a supreme physical challenge for these trekkers, but what a unique (and ecological) way to experience Alpine culture–one-step-at-a-time. It was total immersion into local life, customs, history, and cuisine. Brandon and Cheryl followed this unique trail for 3-1/2 months. At least, unlike their historic 1,000-kilometer trek across Tibet, they didn’t have to dodge Chinese bullets–but they sure missed Sadhu, their equine Sherpa. As usual, Brandon chronicled this latest odyssey through daily journal entries and photographs. Those notes and photos will provide grist for his new adventure book scheduled for publication from Pilgrim’s Tales publishing in late 2010. His $OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH1RYHPEHU chronicle will allow readers to vicariously share the daily challenges and victories of their latest exploit. After reading it, readers may be ready for an adventure of their own. Like his other adventure books, this one is bound to provide an intimate look at “deliberate travel.” As he puts it, “The Alps are much more than gnomes and cheese. Plus, for folks seeking a little peace and simplicity in these difficult times, I can think of no better solution than to simplify, slow life down, disconnect from the distractions of the outside world, and head off the beaten track. The couple, among the first to complete the route, carried over 30 topographic maps supplied by Omni Resources. To better physically prepare for this extreme daily challenge, they followed a regime of aerobic and strength training at Upcountry Fitness on Maui. Brandon is an award-winning author of three other true travel adventures set in such rugged locales as the Tibetan Himalayas and wilds of Africa. His most recent book is Along the Templar Trail. This book just won the prestigious Lowell Thomas Gold Award for 2009 Best Travel Book. That award is the Pulitzer Prize for the travel writing field. The book chronicles his recent 2,600-mile trek for peace along what was once the route of the First Crusades from France to Jerusalem. This is Brandon’s tenth long-distance peace trek. He has also walked Spain’s Camino de Santiago and Via de la Plata, St. Olav’s Way across Norway, the Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome, the Buddhist pilgrim’s path from Lhasa, Tibet to Katmandu (as related in his book Yak Butter Blues), and the Crusader trail from France to Jerusalem (as related in his book Along the Templar Tail: Seven Million Steps for Peace). He is a member of the prestigious Explorers Club.For more information about the intrepid explorers, visit www.pilgrimstales.com.

Inside, the driver cranks open the door, and the children enter the inner hull. They take a seat on the padded cushions lining the interior, and the bus driver once again closes the door. Their faith in the driver, the children begin to socialize, do a last minute assignment, or sleep. They trust that they will arrive safely to their destination. It is the bus driver’s job to make this happen. Their duty is to transport the children securely and without incident. And for Miranda Peterson, driver for the Moon Area School district, she does just that. In order to provide the best possible care for her students, Miranda begins organizing her day the night before. “ ‘Safety first’ is my motto when I prepare for work the night before by checking the next day’s weather forecast, making sure my work clothes are neat and clean, and getting to bed at a decent hour,” said Miranda. “I awaken at 5:30 a.m., dress, grab a cup of coffee, re-check the weather forecast, and head out the door by 6:10 a.m. At work I sign in, check for important memos, grab the bus key, and head out to my bus. As I approach my bus, I begin my safety check by looking for obvious issues on its exterior. Then I start the bus and continue the daily safety check while it warms up.” However, a lot of the real trouble begins when Miranda finally gets on the road. The road is where other drivers can influence her bus, and therefore where she must be most careful. “Automobile drivers are the worst part about driving because they threaten the safety of my students,” said Miranda. “They jump out in front of my bus despite the fact that it is nearly fifteen tons of metal. They ignore the eight-way lights by driving through them; this must be because they are inattentive or they don’t fully understand when they should stop and wait. A reminder for everyone, if you see the eight-way system, stop! It only takes about thirty seconds to load our students. Always stop and wait!” These new safety systems were put in place to help other drivers be conscious of the buses around them. However, it was not always so clear-cut. Chet Divito works for Student Transportation of America (STA), Moon’s busing provider, and runs the overall operation of the terminal. He can remember a time when things were not as safe. “Some of us are old enough to remember school buses with one light and no yellow lights,” said Chet. “We now have crossing arms in the front of the buses and twoway radios in buses for communications. Strobe lights are now coming into practice for dark and foggy mornings. Seating on school buses went from metal backs and steel rails to all seats being covered with inches of padding surrounding this metal. Drivers have to have special licenses to drive.

After months of work, the chamber will receive its biggest facelift within its past 105 years of existence. “Over the years the chamber in the Pittsburgh Airport Area has become the second largest chamber in the Pittsburgh region,” noted committee chairman Dan Murphy. “We wanted to leverage the fact that we are the host chamber in the area that welcomes new businesses into the Pittsburgh region and beyond.” Many Pittsburghers are unaware that the chamber covers 31 communities surrounding $LUFUDIW0DQDJHPHQW*URXS,QF 1HOOR&RQVWUXFWLRQ&RPSDQ\ (DJOH&RQVWUXFWLRQ5HPHGLDWLRQ//& )ODEHJ6RODU86&RUSRUDWLRQ +DUPRQ\5LGJH(YHQWV&DWHULQJ//& 6%7KRPDV$VVRFLDWHV//& +RZDUG+DQQD5HDO(VWDWH6HUYLFHV 0LFKDHO0LOOHU ,]DJJ(QHUJ\ 86:RPHQ¶V2SHQ )RUG%XVLQHVV0DFKLQHV,QF &KDU:HVW&RXQFLORI*RYHUQPHQWV '(&(0%(5 -LQJOHIHVW Western Allegheny County, even including some 0RQWRXU+HLJKWV&RXQWU\&OXE of Beaver County.
