Noted Educators Panel in Pella plus Historic Old Church
A feature recalls Scholte Church in Pella built by Dominic Scholte near 707 West First Street across from Jaarsma Bakery. The Dutch Reformed chapel had hand forged stoves and elm bark seating, a perfect pitch sing leader called the voor zinger, and a Latin motto In Deo Spes Nostra Refugium. The building, razed around 1911, was a historic landmark many regret losing. Also reported is a Steering Committee interview of architectural firms for a proposed Community Center and a Pella Education Association panel on the school role in youth preparation featuring Dr. Robert D. Benton Dr. Ray Pugh and Tony Mihalovich at Pella High School. The program aims to spur discussion on preparing youth for society.
