           *   He  gave  up karate. He spent a whole  lot  of  time
     pumping  iron  in the weight room and sprinting  around  Kiski
     Area's  swimming pool balcony for that special added hot-house
     effect. He has carefully managed his weight over the past four
     years,  an incredible feat for most of us. And he has  had  to
     spend  a  whole  lot less quality time with  his  other  love,
     eating. But the result is that Kiski senior Mike Corcetti is a
     championship wrestler with a 28-1season record.

           *   I've  been truly blessed. I've always  had  a  great
     family, a great place to grow up, and I want to maintain  that
     for  the  kids  growing up today." For Mayor John  Schmeck  of

     => OUR KIDS
          *   Most  successful gymnasts begin their  training  very
     early  in  life and invest a large amount of time into  honing
     their skills on the mats, beams, vault, and bars. Kaysie Young
     of Leechburg is an excellent example of this very thing.

     Blue  Slate: One of the earliest churches formed in the  Alle-
     Kiski  Valley was begun in the very early 1800s near Freeport.
     Called the Blue Slate congregation, because of a ream of  blue
     slate that meandered thru a nearby creek, it was the basis  of
     a  church that still exists today. A more extensive history of
     this  and other churches founded during this time are on line.
