Community builds new Amish school

From Times Wire Reports
Members of the community are raising a new Amish schoolhouse a few hundred yards from the spot in Nickel Mines where a gunman shot five girls to death in October.
The new building will have just one room, like the torn-down school where the slayings took place, but will be more secure, with more sophisticated locks and a location reachable only by a private drive, said John Coldiron, a township official.
An Amish-owned business is building the school, but Coldiron said the entire community was pitching in.
