An edifice dedicated to Dublin and Washington Township veterans of World War II has been installed at the Grounds of Remembrance at Dublin Veterans Park, 77 N. High St.
The new Washington Township and Dublin High School Honor Roll is the fourth iteration of an original monument bearing the names of local farmers and other residents who served in World War II, said Tom Holton, president of the Dublin Historical Society.
“In the days leading up to the WWII period, Dublin was a small farming village, he said. The population was 237 (adults and children). There are 87 names on the stone, (so) 36% of the population of the village, including children (served in World War II). That is a significant contribution to the war effort.
Dublin siblings Sisters Creation online business benefits peers and wildlife
A little sibling rivalry sometimes can be a good thing.
For Dublin City Schools students Yosna and Nysa Bareja, it resembles mutual motivation to build an online business the girls launched in November, aptly named Sisters’ Creation.
Yosna, 15, is a freshman at Dublin Coffman High School, and Nysa, 12, is a sixth-grader at Sells Middle School.
Sisters’ Creation has its roots in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy in which Yosna enrolled in December 2019 to earn college credit.
Founded in 2004 at the University of Rochester, the Young Entrepreneurs Academy serves thousands of students in 168 communities across America, according to its website.
