                          ___OUR HERITAGE___
                                   
     Apollo  lost  29 buildings to a major fire in  1876,  causing
     over  $32,000 in damage in dollars of that day.  The  tragedy
     spurred Apollo citizens to quickly invest in its water system
     and fire departments to prevent future calamities like this.

        “This  year  is going to be a year of rebuilding,”  Ladies
        Blue  Devils  softball Coach Jim Oberdorf stated,  “and  a
        learning experience for us all.”  He was speaking of  this
        year’s  team from Leechburg.  Originally, Jim took on  the
        position  of  coaching the team as a  temporary  one…until
        they could find someone else.  That was 20 years ago!
