 C-J Online Community: Ottawa decides against razing old school 10/16/97
In the spring of 1996, Ottawa Middle School closed its doors before school was out for the summer when a structural engineer said the buildings were so unsafe he wouldn't have allowed his child to remain there.
The city commission is involved in the decision because the state historical society said that since the former school buildings are located within 500 feet of two historic properties -- the Carnegie Library and the Dietrich Cabin -- the schools can't be demolished until it was determined through public hearings that there is no alternative.
The first hearing was conducted last week, as the city commission moved its meeting from its city hall chambers to the Franklin County annex to facilitate the large crowd of nearly 200.

 City Farmer's History
City Farmer put in the food garden and hired instructors to show the kids and teachers how to grow food right in their schoolyard.

The City of Vancouver and the Regional Government asked us to use our teaching garden to promote backyard and worm composting which we were happy to do because making rich soil is the foundation of urban agriculture.
