MILLIKEN – Election season got underway last month with party primary elections that determined candidates for public offices in the upcoming General Election.

Call it a sign of these modern times.

With school finances tightening, districts across the country are looking for new ways to raise revenue. Aug. 25, the Re-5J Board of Education approved an agreement with an Ohio company for a new advertiser-supported scorer’s table in the gymnasium at Roosevelt High School that will help augment the school’s activity fund.

Board member Carolyn Breninger voted no. Board member Duane Shable was not in attendance.

Project preparing to switch sides of the street — If you stand at one end of Parish Avenue or the other, and look at the two sides of the street, you can begin to get a sense of what the Johnstown downtown streetscape project will look like when completed next month. Crews spent the week on the west side of the street laying brick pavers between the curb and gutter and new wider sidewalk, as well as finishing concrete intersection work on both ends of the block. Following the Labor Day holiday, crews plan to move to the east side of Parish Avenue. Demolition work will again be done at night, so as not to disrupt businesses. Traffic will be limited to southbound travel. All downtown businesses are open throughout the construction project. Photo by Lesli Bangert
