Aroughcoune
Zin and Bill just want to enjoy a summer weekend camping and getting away from it all when their plans are thrust into a bizarre kill-or-be-killed nightmare pitting them against the aroughcoune. A mysterious Game Warden, Doug Slotter, tracked the aroughcoune from his home in Griswold, Connecticut, to Algonquin State Park in Western Pennsylvania, and becomes the teens’ unreliable introduction to the chaos. Created in a secret government lab on Plum Island, the aroughcoune is a genetically-modified killing machine - a diabolical experiment gone awry. Fortunately, they find Algonquin’s Game Warden Monique McKesson, a confident and steadfast woman of color who helps shepherd the boys through their weekend of peril. Along for the ride is Mingan Jones, a Native American herbalist who lives in the park thanks to a grandfather clause recognizing his family's pre-existing claim on the land. His unique background brings Native American folklore into the fold to help the band of unlikely heroes take on a danger much bigger than themselves. “Aroughcoune” brings all of their destinies together in a quirky, horrific maelstrom of confusion and danger as they discover the classified origins of the monster that has torn their weekend asunder. Working as a team, they discover inner strengths they never knew they had, the mysterious government agents tracking the creature, and whether or not the aroughcoune is alone.

Pittsburgh natives have recognized Dixmont State Hospital by its towering boiler house smokestack that stood prominently along busy Route 65. It has been a topic of curiosity, urban exploration, ghost hunts, and historical research; but prior to its closing in 1984, Dixmont State Hospital stood as a refuge to the mentally ill for three counties in western Pennsylvania. A majestic study in the Kirkbride design of asylum architecture, Dixmont was originally built by the Western Pennsylvania Hospital in 1859 as a private venture before being bought by the commonwealth. It was named for famed mental health care reformer Dorothea Dix, who was instrumental in choosing the hospital's site--a site chosen for its tranquility and its view of the Ohio River. Dixmont was completely razed in January 2006 to make way for a multi-parcel commercial endeavor. But for those who spent time there, Dixmont was a vibrant community within a community. Through historic photographs, Dixmont State Hospital opens up this world that was off limits to the general public but was alive with festivals, celebrations, and the successful treatment of patients.
As one of the seven original townships of Allegheny County, Moon Township has a long and rich history. From the humble home of Joshua, John, and Jacob Meek in what is now Crescent Township to the Stoops House, owned by 19th-century riverboat captain William Stoops, today's Moon Township is a byproduct of these modest roots. Formed in 1788, Moon Township's history crosses borders into neighboring Findlay and Crescent Townships, which once comprised Moon. Today Moon Township is recognized as one of the most bustling and vibrant communities in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. Home to portions of Pittsburgh International Airport, a growing commercial corridor, and hundreds of new families each year, Moon Township is a major player in the future of western Pennsylvania. Through vintage photographs, Moon Township chronicles how this area has changed with the times while preserving as much of its history as possible.
