Those institutions include, social, business, educational, religious, and financial entities that are making continuous efforts to grow and prosper. As one looks back on the events of the past few years, it is evident that the Alliance community and its citizens demonstrate a resilience that has endured over the course of the city's history. Alliance is at the center of the eastern Stark County region, which provides goods and services as well as quality-of-life elements that attract people to our city from a regional perspective. Statistics indicate that more than 40,000 people live within a five-mile radius of the center of Alliance. Being at the juncture of Stark, Columbiana, and Mahoning counties makes Alliance A letter from Mayor Andreani the center of commerce for the region. The business community has led the way - particularly retail establishments. The most recent developments have included at the plaza containing the Kohl's department Store, Maurice's, and Famous Footwear. Also along State Street, the Chipotle Restaurant, Sprint and Aspen Dental are housed in one facility and nearby the new Panera Bread and Dairy Queen restaurants have been added to the landscape. Additionally, Frank's Family Restaurant, total refurbishments of both McDonald's restaurants in the city, as well as the refurbishment of the Burger King restaurants give the public many choices of eating establishments. In the downtown area, the Smokehouse Cafe on Continued on page 5 Traditionally Fine Furs and Apparel Since 1939 Furs • Purses • Jewelry • Hats Shoes • Jackets • Apparel 670 W.

Continued from page 4 Market Street and the Farm Girls Pub & Grub on Main Street add to the dining options located in the city's historic arts and culture district. Also new to downtown is Paris Studios, an active workspace and display area for local artists. The educational community has seen continued growth as well. The leader has been the University of Mount Union. The University has grown, expanding its offerings in graduate studies and soon will be offering a bachelor's degree in nursing and a doctorate in physical therapy in a new building under construction on Union Avenue. Also under construction is a new theater to replace Rodman Playhouse on the campus located on Simpson Street. Stark State College provides technical and careeroriented programs and soon will be starting on their new facility located on the grounds of and in collaboration with Alliance Community Hospital. Area attractions include the international headquarters of the Cat Fanciers' Association and their associated CFA Foundation museum that is open for touring on Main Street. The Downtown Farmers' Market has been a tremendous success on summer Saturday mornings, as has the Downtown Summer Concert Series on Friday nights. Arts in Stark has chosen downtown Alliance as a focus for renewal over the next decade in the areas of art, culture, entertainment, and retail. The Troll Hole, with the world's largest collection of trolls, is also located on Main Street. For many decades, the Carnation City Players have performed live theater at the Firehouse Theater on Market Street. The renovated Martin Luther King Bridge stands out as a major connector and tribute to Dr. King as well as being Alliance's historical link to the railroad. The future is bright for the renaissance of the downtown region. Attractions in other areas of the City include the World War History and Art Museum, a world class facility dedicated to preserving memorabilia created by soldiers that endured the World Wars located at the College Plaza. The Haines House offers visitors the opportunity to explore a "station" used on the Underground Railroad routes to aid slaves on their escape north. The Mabel Hartzell Home, located at the corner of Park and Vine, is operated by the Alliance Historical Society and allows visitors a glimpse into the Victorian era. A major attraction is the Glamorgan Castle, located on Union Avenue in the heart of the City, which offers tours every Friday during the year. The city's park system continues to be a mainstay for recreation in Alliance. On the south side is the city treasure of Silver Park, home to the Fourth of July fireworks celebration as well as the site for many of the Carnation Festival events in August, touting Alliance as the "Carnation City" home of the Scarlet Carnation, the Ohio state flower. Soon Silver Park will be the home for the 9-11 Memorial, a moving display of artifacts from the World Trade Center. Each summer the Hot Stove League hosts their local, regional, and state tournaments at Butler-Rodman Park located on State Street, an annual occurrence in the city for over sixty years. The Alliance Area Senior Center (AASC), located on West Vine Street, is a busy place and hosts many activities for the area's senior citizens. On the other side of town, on West. Beech Street in Washington Township, the Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve attracts visitors, who can participate in a variety of activities year-round, including visiting the popular butterfly house in the summer and hand-feeding chickadees in the winter. Besides the museums to attract people there are many sporting, music, art and theatrical events year round in the City. The University of Mount Union, besides offering nationally recognized football teams, has a full range of spectator sports including new lacrosse programs. This is in addition to their wide range of musical entertainment, art exhibits, plays and musicals, and learning opportunities geared toward the public. In the same respect, all manner of sports and artistic entertainment can be utilized through the local public school programs of Alliance and Marlington schools. With many new businesses and the wide range of activities for entertainment and education, we invite you to come to Alliance and sample our hospitality. n Alliance COMMUNITY GUIDE • 2014-2015 5 6 Alliance COMMUNITY GUIDE • 2014-2015 1018709000 Member FDIC Equal Housing Lender Alliance Community Guide H I S TO RY THE CITY OF ALLIANCE EMERGED FROM A HISTORY OF DIVERSITY AND COOPERATION. Before it was formed from the union of several small villages in 1850, the land was occupied by Hopewell Native Americans, a group of indigenous people famous for their mysterious mounds, craft work and pottery. A great way to unearth the town's history is to take a tour of Alliance City Cemetery. The grounds, located on Vine Street, are the resting place of several significant Alliance natives, which local cemetery historian W. John Gross said provides a unique look inside the Carnation City. After all, as Gross explains, "If you really want to know your community, start at the cemetery." Alliance natives J. Ridgeway Haines, World War I Col. Charles C. Weybrecht and scarlet carnation cultivator Dr. Levi Lamborn all are buried here. Haines, whose estate is now a historical site open to the public thanks to the Alliance Area Preservation Society, was an active abolitionist who transformed his home into an Underground Railroad site in the 1800s. The property is now open for weekend tours. Other important natives, such as Col. William Henry Morgan, the president and former owner of Morgan Engineering Co., still have a presence in the Alliance community. Morgan was the builder of Glamorgan Castle, an estate built on a 50-acre plot of land in Alliance. In its heyday, the Castle had bowling alleys, a billiard room and a large swimming pool in the basement. It was built from 100 tons of structural steel and 96 train car loads of Vermont marble. The property, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, currently houses the central administrative offices for Alliance City Schools.

STATE • ALLIANCE Alliance Community Guide History ... Continued from page 7 is open for tours, coordinated by the Castle Crusaders. Due to its railroads, which served as the crossroads that became the nucleus of the city's future, Alliance quickly gained an industrial base. However, it was a kind gesture of respect courtesy of Dr. Lamborn, which proved to be the most influential. In 1886, Dr. Lamborn propagated a Scarlet Carnation from French seedligns and presented William McKinley, whom he was opposing for the 18th Congressional District, with a Lamborn Red boutonniere before each debate. McKinley regularly spoke of these carnations as his good luck charm, one that eventually led him to the White House. On September 14, 1901, moments after removing the flower from his lapel and giving it to a young admirer at the Buffalo Exposition, President McKinley was struck down by an assassin's bullet. Following years of lobbying by Lamborn, the Ohio General Assembly passed a joint resolution naming the scarlet carnation the state flower February 3, 1904. And more than 45 years later, the Ohio Legislature recognized Alliance as the "Carnation City," which eventually gave birth to the Greater Alliance Carnation Festival, an annual tribute to the city's Carnation legacy. n ALLIANCE From ANIMALS A to Z Ohio state law requires any dog over the age of three months to have a license within 30 days of ownership.

He also chairs the city's Technology Accelerator Alliance (TA2) and Early Childhood Education Alliance. He also serves with the Alliance Rotary, United Way and Junior Achievement as well as vice chairman of the Alliance For Children and Families. Pukys, a Stark County native, foresees a positive future for business in the Alliance area. "Companies in this area are really growing," he said. "Part of my job is to talk to shop owners and gauge if their business is growing. Over the past year, 68 percent said sales are increasing and 32 percent said they are stable. "There are $19 million in capital expenditures for the manufacturing and industrial sector over the next three years. There is also a Union Ave corridor project that is in the planning stages. It is a project that many partners are coming together on that includes Mount Union as well as the AAD, the Alliance Chamber, GAF, Alliance Community Hospital, the City of Alliance as well as many interested business owners."

Chamber president R. Mark Locke explained that since 1915, the chamber's job has been to help businesses succeed. "Whatever that may be, including networking, legislative concerns or offering educational seminars, our members dictate our agenda," he said. "Lately networking has been the focus, especially during the tough years. Members see it as free marketing opportunities." Marketing seminars are offered quarterly, ranging from utilizing social media to dealing with the media for crisis communications. The chamber membership is made up of more than 400 business and professional leaders whose purpose is advancing the economic, industrial, professional, cultural and civic welfare of the Alliance area. Among its divisions is one dedicated to women, the first of its kind in Ohio, which raises more than $1,000 annually to support area nursing homes and shelters. Committees focus on economic development, business education, legislative, membership recruiting and project development. The Presidents' Club consists of a group of past chamber presidents who oversee the public relations arm of the organization.

The Alliance chamber is a member of the CantonStark County Convention and Visitors' Bureau, handling city tourism. In both the chamber's downtown location as well as a visitors' bureau located in a kiosk in the center of the Carnation City Mall, tourists can find maps and brochures on various venues of interest within the city, such as Glamorgan Castle, the Cat Fanciers' Association Foundation's Feline Historical Museum and the University of Mount Union, as well as promoting events such as the Hot Stove League baseball tournaments and Carnation Festival. Locke said the office also provides information to individuals who are interested in relocating to the Carnation City, including general information on Alliance and local realtors. "Most people contact us in preparations to visiting a family in the area or class reunions, which attract a lot of out-of-towners," said Locke. "However, others do contact us when looking to move to Alliance for job-related relocation or coming back to take care of a parent." The chamber also plays an important role, when companies are considering relocating to Alliance. "Most communities are offering the same package, especially in regards to county and local packages, so it isn't surprising that quality of life plays such a huge role into giving a community the edge," Locke said. While Alliance has its community development benefits through its Urban Development Action Grant loan programs and tax incentives, Alliance's park system is second-to-none, Locke said. "Mount Union is a huge asset and a big draw." The Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce is located at 210 E. Main St. and can be reached through its website at www.allianceohiochamber.org n Montrose!

The Greater Alliance Foundation awarded more than a half million dollars in grants last year. Since the organization was founded to match charitable intentions with specific needs of the community through carefully managed endowments, the Greater Alliance Foundation's assets has grown to exceed $10 million and also helped more than 70 organizations with $4 million-plus in grants. A complete list of these organizations can be found at the foundation's website, www.greateralliancefoundation.org. One of this past year's major projects was the Alliance YMCA's $3.2 million dollar capital campaign program, which was supplemented by a $450,000 grant by the Greater Alliance Foundation. The grant was the largest gift received for the project and the largest ever awarded by the Foundation. According to Greater Alliance Foundation Executive Director Doug Schwarz, the $450,000 grant will be paid over three years. "We do not know of any other opportunity in our city that will have more of a positive impact on our children and their families more than that the building collaboration between the YMCA and the Stuckey Family Interfaith Development Center. This is why trustees made such a large financial commitment to the YMCA Capital Campaign," he said. The foundation's many successful programs have included efforts such as the Robert T. White School of Practical Nursing, which under the umbrella of the Alliance Career Center offers a two-year LPN course of study and offers day and evening classes, and the Early Childhood Alliance Inc., which promotes and creates dynamic learning environments for children. Organization endowment funds also have supported charity and capital improvement projects for the Alliance Symphony, Alliance Historical Society, Alliance Domestic Violence Shelter, Alliance YWCA, Alliance Neighborhood Center and Castle Crusaders.

A balloon lift off, which brings dozens of hot air ballooners to Alliance, departs from Silver Park during the festival. Several local bands and musical groups energize the bandstand and generate a crowd of dancers. The Alliance Symphony Orchestra performs in the evenings at Days in the Park, and a pet show allows Alliance's youth to parade their critters. Another popular portion of the Carnation Festival is the Rib Fest, a gathering of many rib vendors from far and wide who sell countless rib varieties to foodies in the parking lot of Carnation City Mall. Local bands perform and children's booths are set up. Perhaps the crowning jewel of the Carnation Festival, the annual Queen's Pageant is held on the first Sunday of the festival. Dozens of local young women vie for the title of Carnation queen, an honor that grants them VIP access to all of the festival's events, several hundred of dollars' worth of prizes, and the honor of representing the Carnation City. Locals participate in contests during the weeks of the Carnation Festival, including an amateur photography contest, a flower show, a youth sports event and a vintage base ball tournament, where the Alliance Crossing Rails compete against other Vintage Base Ball teams at Glamorgan Castle. Babies born at Alliance Community Hospital during the days of the festival are dubbed Carnation Babies and are given gift bags filled with gifts. Other events, ranging from parades and ice cream socials to a Pump-In and Muster are popular. Visits to some of Alliance's most unique landmarks, ranging from Glamorgan Castle and Alliance City Cemetery, or hours sifting through various used books at Rodman Public Library's annual sale are also Carnation Festival favorites. The Greater Alliance Area Carnation Festival has something for everyone, kids and adults, sports fans and art connoisseurs. Yearly festivities are planned by the Festival Board, which consists of community members serving in various positions. Each year the festival board president, vice presidents and board members oversee and help to organize events.

After hearing about the opening of the museum, the Foundation was contacted by Donald Hargrove of Memphis, who volunteered to donate his entire collection of Maneki Nekos, numbering approximately 165 of them in all shapes, sizes, colors patterns and materials. The walls of the museum are covered in a variety of artwork in all mediums: photographs by well-known cat photographers, paintings by CFA judges such as George Summerville and Bob Bryan, prints of Yearbook covers by Govinder Nazran and Jamie Perry, intaglias by Mel and Jan Fleck, paintings and prints by a plethora of recognized artists, and an 1846 hand block print from Germany. A highlight of the artwork is a full-size photograph of the 100 Cats Scroll presented to CFA during their centennial year, according to museum manager Karen Lawrence. In addition to plenty of rare treasures, like a bronze by renowned sculptor J. Clayton Bright of a silver tabby Persian, the only cat that he has ever produced, the museum occasionally is visited by live cats. In the past, visiting Maine Coons and Ragdolls have run the museums, delighting visitors with hugs and play. And, Egyptian Maus and Japanese Bobtails have also showed off their feline agility skills. Also not to be forgotten is the museum's non-lending library and research room, which contains more than 1,400 books cataloged by title and available for on-site review. Amidst its offerings, the library houses books from CFA, TICA and ACFA, including studbooks, as well as periodicals, breed newsletters and foreign publications. Although there is no admission fee, donations are appreciated.

This past year, the library system was honored as the Large Business of the Year by the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce — not too bad for a library system that was born out of a room in Alliance High School in 1900. Clarence J. "Bill" Rodman's support more than 50 years ago gave the Alliance library, which emerged in the early stages with the help of Andrew Carnegie, gave the impetus for expansion and for a facility that has served the community well. Ground at the current location was broken in 1961, and the library system has continued to grow, adding public computers, a bookmobile and eventually its branch location for patrons on East State Street as the city continued to develop around it. Rodman has a significant children's room, which was created in 1927 to allow patrons under the age of 14 to have their own, separate area. Now, as society continues to evolve and create a niche market for teen patrons, the library's staff hopes to add a special area for them. However, adults still continue to be important patrons of the library, enjoying access to Braille books, books on CD, tape, music CDs, magazines, DVDs and audiovisual materials as well as a fax machine, notary public, photocopier and even important forms for voter registration and filing local, state and federal taxes. For those who have trouble making it to the main or branch libraries, Rodman employees can bring the library to you via its Bookmobile, which makes regular stops at local schools and scheduled locations through its rotating two-week route, or its home delivery services.

Starting at age 3, preschools begin a comprehensive education program at one of the state's best early learning programs. Along the way, they can pursue one of many career paths, including the district's award-winning Broadcast Arts program which allows students to learn the ins and outs of operating a TV station with an elaborate studio. That particular program is a testament to the school's excellent and up-to-date facilities, which offer some extraordinarily unique educational opportunities thanks to their attention to technology.

"A Tradition of Excellence, a Commitment to the Future" is the focus of the school district, which has a combined middle and high school campus, and an elementary school in each of the three townships. The district has developed a tradition of being a high academic performer, which has repeatedly reflected excellent ratings on the State of Ohio report cards in comparison to other school districts. In 2013, Marlington schools completed its third year in the Race to the Top grant program funded by the Ohio Department of Education, which helps to trail-blaze effective reforms through adopting standards and assessments for post-secondary success, measure student growth as well as recruit and retain exceptional teachers and administrators. Ultimately, the state looks to increase graduation rates while reducing graduation rate gaps, reduce performance gaps (especially between the State of Ohio and the best-performing states in the nation) and double college enrollment among those at ages 18 and 19. The district strives to adhere to its mission statement, which says: "In collaboration with staff, community, parents and students, the Marlington Local School District will develop lifelong learners who understand and apply knowledge, and demonstrate excellence in pursuing the highest standards with effective intervention to challenge every student." This past year, Marlington schools added technology that allows them to text parents' homework on a nightly basis as well as students to use their own devices, such as iPods, laptops and tablets in the classroom. For more information about Marlington Schools, which has its administrative offices within the middle school at 10325 Moulin Ave., call 330-823-7458 during school hours or visit www.marlingtonlocal.org. n REGINA COELI/ ST.
