     WHAT”S NEW IN ALLE-KISKI TODAY
     
     One Person Making A Difference
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/1760
     
     Many  of  us  at some point in time have seen a  need  in  our
     community or felt compassion towards the plight of another. We
     have  been moved in our hearts but somehow that concern didn't
     translate  to  taking an active part in its resolution.  "What
     can  one  person  do?  How  can I make  a  difference?"  Those
     thoughts often leave us in a place of hopelessness that breeds
     inactivity. Throughout my interviewing experiences I have been
     fortunate to talk to so many people who have decided  to  look
     past  the  extent  of  the job and have  focused  on  the  end
     product.  One  of  these individuals, Jim Granville  of  Lower
     Burrell,  has  proven  that  with  passion  many  things   are
     possible.

     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/archives/8
     
     When man first came to the Kiski Valley, it is likely that  he
     followed   animal  trails  that  in  turn  became  paths   for
     navigating this part of Western PA. Two major trails developed
     in  our area and were used by Indians and European traders and
     colonists  alike:  the  Loyalhanna Path and  the  Kiskiminetas
     Path.  Read more interesting history at Our Local Heritage  at
     above site. Click on “Archives” for a list of history tidbits.
