Daily News Tuesday, August 6, 1996 a quiet anniversary HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) Tens of thousands of mourners bowed their heads in prayer and laid yellow-and-white wreaths Tuesday in a solemn ceremony marking the 51st anniversary of the world's first atomic attack. At precisely 8:15 a.m., the moment the bomb exploded over Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, a bronze bell tolled, echoing in the muggy a air. The crowd packed into the city's Peace Park built at what was the epicenter of the blast observed a moment of silence, broken only by the buzzing of cicadas. A flock of doves took flight, and a pair of schoolchildren, standing before a flame that burns in tribute to the bomb's 140,000 victims, said a plea for peace.
"No matter how much time passes, Hiroshima will never forget what happened," Mayor Takashi Hiraoka said. Continued from page Al "Obviously renovation is cheaper than building a new school," he said. "I wish they had given us more specific information regarding consolidation and the new building," said parent Susan Hagadone. "I think you would've got more people here if they had mentioned consolidating in their letter they home. I would've liked a better presentation on cost." North River representative and Chairman of the Supervisors Dr.
Charles Curry also weighed in on keeping the school in the community. "I'm very, very concerned about what happens here," he said. "'Whatever we do here I hope it lasts another 60 years and that it will provide equity for the citizens of the western part of the county. "When this renovation is completed, I want to take a close look at the structure to ensure that this school is equal to or superior to the other schools in the county." The School Board will be taking input from Churchville citizens tonight at 7 p.m. This is just the start of public meetings, Clymore said.
"Based on your feelings, we would ask for your input on the actual renovation," he said. "We've had real positive results asking teachers and the community what they would like to see done."
