From the June 6, 2002 edition of The Wayne Herald:
Peace Poles are planted
On May 23, during the last regular meeting of the Carroll Junior Girl Scout Troop #435, two Peace Poles were planted by the girls of the troop. Dads assisting with the poles were Verlyn Stoltenberg and Bob Dowling.
The poles were placed in the Women's Club Garden on Main Street and at the Robert Johnson Ballfield. Rocks with inspirational words painted on them surround the pole. The phrase "May Peace Prevail on Earth" is on the poles in the languages of English, Japanese, Hebrew, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, and Welsh.
Afterwards, a picnic was held for the girls and parents at the ballfield
