ROARING RUN WATERSHED ASSOCIATION

APOLLO, PA

Roaring Run Watershed Association (RRWA) is a non-profit organization based in Apollo, Pennsylvania. The association was founded in 2003 with the mission of promoting and preserving the Roaring Run Watershed, which covers an area of approximately 25 square miles in the Kiski Valley area of Western Pennsylvania.

RRWA works to protect the Roaring Run Watershed by engaging in a variety of activities, including monitoring water quality, conducting stream cleanups, and promoting conservation practices. The association also works to educate the public about the importance of watershed conservation and the value of natural resources.

One of the key initiatives of RRWA is the Roaring Run Trail, which is a multi-use trail that runs along the Roaring Run stream for approximately six miles. The trail provides opportunities for hiking, biking, and fishing, and also serves as an important educational resource for the community.

RRWA is run by a board of directors and relies on the support of volunteers and donors to carry out its mission. The association has been successful in building partnerships with local government agencies, businesses, and other organizations to further its goals and promote the sustainability of the Roaring Run Watershed.

Joe Magarac, steel working Superjack Joe can bend steel bars at will.

The Croatian steelworkers around Pittsburgh gave rise to the tall tales of Joe Magarac. I read that <i>magarac</i> means donkey in Croatian. So there is satire in these Joe Magarac tales of how super Joe can work through bad steel working conditions.

September 1, 2019: Fourth Street Arch, Irwin, Pennsylvania Spanning its namesake thoroughfare on the west side of Main Street in Irwin, Pennsylvania is the Fourth Street Arch, an expression of civic pride and the centerpiece of a long-germinating streetscape project that sought to beautify and revitalize the borough's downtown business district after decades of decline. The Irwin Project, as it was known, was launched in 2004 in the wake of a visit by a team of architecture students from Penn State University as part of the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor Project, a nationwide effort at raising awareness of the history of America's first coast-to-coast &quot;auto trail&quot;, partly through civic initiatives such as this in the towns and cities along its route. Irwin's municipal government saw participation in the project as a way to both draw in tourist traffic and combat the slow but steady flight of businesses away from downtown to locations along busy Route 30, mostly outside the borough limits. In addition to the ornate wrought-iron gateway seen here, which was unveiled to much fanfare in summer 2012, the $1.9 million, PennDOT-funded project also comprised wayfinding signage, new crosswalks and street lighting, and bus shelters, planters, and other street furniture. Although correlation is not causation, the subsequent years did indeed see a new vitality injected into downtown Irwin, with new shops and restaurants occupying once-vacant spaces and a growing calendar of popular community events.
