Oakland High School (Oakland, California)

Oakland Senior High School (also known as O-High or OHS) is a public high school in Oakland, California. Established in 1869, it is the oldest high school in Oakland and the sixth oldest high school in the state. History Oakland High was first located at 12th Street and Market Street, then at 12th and Jefferson Street. It has been at its current location at the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Park Boulevard since 1928. The building that stood before its current manifestation was known as the "Pink Prison" or "Pink Palace." The stairway leading up from Park Boulevard is what remains of the exterior. The lamps in the commons are original fixtures. What is now the football field and basketball courts was once classrooms and a huge theater. The school colors are royal blue and white, and the mascot is Willy the Wildcat. The building was torn down in 1980 to be rebuilt as a safer structure in the event of a major earthquake. A new football/soccer/baseball field was inaugurated in the spring of 2006. The football field is officially known as the "Jackie Jensen Field", while the baseball/softball field is dedicated to a, longtime coach and teacher. Pamela Moy became Oakland High's principal in fall 2020, succeeding Matin Abdel-Qawi, who was the principal serving from 2012 to 2020. In the summer of 2008, renovations and rebuilding to the main building (as well in the former shop buildings) began and were completed in August 2011. In January 2021, filmmaker Peter Nicks released Homeroom, a documentary following the Oakland High class of 2020 through their senior year. The 2019–2020 school year started normally but made an unexpected turn in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the students into quarantine and to attend virtual classes, with no prom or graduation ceremony. In the 2022-2023 school year, the boys varsity basketball team won its first state basketball championship. Academics OHS offers many Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and concurrent enrollment college courses are offered from the Peralta Colleges after school. Test scores For 2013, the school's API score was 634 out of a possible 1,000 points. Families and learning pathways Ninth-grade students are parts of learning communities called freshman "families" named after different wildcats such as puma, tiger, panther, jaguar, or cheetah. Students in grades 10 to 12 join one of the school's Career and Technical Education (CTE), aligned pathway programs. Athletics In 2023, the basketball team won the Dlll State championship. Sports Student newspaper The Aegis is the oldest high school newspaper in California. It was founded in 1886 at Oakland High School. The newspaper puts out occasional print issues, but mostly publishes content on its website. In the 1890s, Jack London wrote for the publication, and these stories were later collected into a book called The Aegis. Notable alumni See also List of Oakland, California high schools References
Oakland Military Institute

Oakland Military Institute, formally the Oakland Military Institute College Preparatory Academy, is a charter school in Oakland, California run by the California Military Department's Youth and Community Programs Task Force in partnership with the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD). Oakland Military Institute's mission is "to provide a structured and rigorous academic program where cadets develop as leaders, scholars, critical thinkers, and citizens." The school's cadets are members of the California Cadet Corps. The teaching staff are employees of the Oakland Unified School District while the Military Staff are member of the California National Guard and the California State Guard. Ideally, students will go on to attend college. In addition to academics, the school develops leadership in its students through an elective class which all students take every year. They are assigned to a large group of students, or a Company, which they are a part of for all their years in the school. Students are mentored by the military staff in these groups to grow as disciplined adults and leaders of character. History Oakland Military Institute was founded in 2001 after a two-year campaign led by then Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown. Governor Gray Davis helped secure the charter after local school boards rejected the proposals. It is the first charter school sponsored and run by the California Military Department and the first public military school sponsored by the National Guard. The school site, at its inception, was located at 2405 West 14th Street (adjacent to the Port of Oakland) in portable classrooms on the site of the Oakland Army Base, which had recently been decommissioned in 1999. AC Transit provided a dedicated bus line for student transportation to the base. Hundreds of applications were submitted from all over the East Bay and each prospective student was required to appear with their parent/guardian. The process for acceptance into the institute consisted of a in-person interview with a panel that included a military member, faculty member, administrator and representative from the mayor's office. The amount of application for entry into the first class required the staff to hold a lottery for acceptance at the Oakland Army Base Theater to determine which applicants would be allowed to attend a two-week summer camp held in Camp San Luis Obispo. The first class of 167 seventh-graders enrolled in August 2001, under the direction of Commandant Colonel Bradford M. Jones, Command Sergeant Major Alex Cabassa and Academic Director Rick Moniz. On May 17, 2007, Oakland Military Institute relocated from the Oakland Army Base to 3877 Lusk Street in the Longfellow neighborhood of Oakland. This location had been the former site of Longfellow Elementary School, an OUSD primary school that had closed in 2004 and was repurposed for use by OMI. In August 2012, OMI opened a 15,000 square foot state of the art facility to serve sixth grade and house science classrooms, music and art classes, and a library and computer lab and virtual learning center.

Oceanside Pier

Der Oceanside Pier ist eine hölzerne Seebrücke der US-amerikanischen Stadt Oceanside im San Diego County im Süden Kaliforniens. Mit einer Länge von 596 Metern ist er die längste hölzerne Seebrücke der US-amerikanischen Westküste. Geschichte Der Pier wurde 1888 an der heutigen Wisconsin Avenue errichtet. Der ursprüngliche Pier wurde bereits im Winter 1890 während eines starken Sturms zerstört, jedoch 1893 am Pier View Way neu errichtet. Am Promenadenabschnitt des Piers wurde 1919 das Junior Seau Pier Amphitheatre mit einer Kapazität von bis zu 2500 Zuschauern gebaut. Der Pier in seiner heutigen Form kostete etwa 5 Mio. US-Dollar (4,7 Mio. Euro) und musste nach mehreren Zerstörungen bereits fünfmal neu erbaut werden. In seiner heutigen Form besteht er seit 1925, der hölzerne Teil seit 1988. Heute ist der Pier vor allem unter Anglern beliebt. Siehe auch Liste von Seebrücken Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Oceanside Pier

The Oceanside Pier is a wooden pier located in Oceanside, California of North County (San Diego area). It is currently the longest wooden pier in the West Coast of the United States. History The pier was first built in 1888 at what is now Wisconsin Avenue. The original pier was destroyed by storms in the winter of 1890, and was rebuilt in 1893 by Melchoir Pieper at what is now Pier View Way, where all subsequent piers would be located. Four iterations of the pier were built and then destroyed by heavy storms. The current pier was built and formally opened to the public in September 1987, at a cost of $5 million. At the foot of the pier is the Junior Seau Pier Amphitheatre, which hosts numerous events throughout the year. The Junior Seau Beach Community Center, also known as the Beach Recreation Center, is a 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) facility located near the pier that includes a gymnasium, meeting room, stage, and kitchen. Both the amphitheater and the community center were renamed posthumously in 2012 in honor of hometown football hero Junior Seau. 2024 fire At around 3:00 p.m. PDT on April 25, 2024, a major fire broke out at the far end of the pier. The pier was swiftly evacuated and no injuries were reported. Portions of the pier continued to smolder into the following day. While acknowledging that the fire had not yet been declared under control, the city's fire chief estimated at midday on April 26 that 90% of the pier was undamaged. The fire's point of origin was determined to be the former Ruby's Diner, a 1950s-style diner, located at the end of the pier. Opened in 1996 and vacated in 2021, the structure was being remodeled prior to the fire, which effectively destroyed it. Rebuilding the pier is expected to begin in mid 2027 at an estimated cost of $17 million. Activities Now in its sixth incarnation (built in 1987), the pier is a popular fishing spot. Surfing is also very popular on both the North and South sides of the pier. Parking Pre-pay parking is available along Mission Ave, N. Pacific St, N. Myers, and as well as on N. Cleveland St. Metered parking is also available on Pier View Way. Parking regulations are very strict in Oceanside, especially near the pier and the harbor.

Oceanside Pier

Oceanside Pier (en français : estacade d'Oceanside) est une jetée en bois s'élançant sur l'océan Pacifique à Oceanside, ville des États-Unis établie dans le nord du comté de San Diego en Californie du Sud. D'une longueur de 596 mètres, c'est la plus longue jetée en bois de la côte ouest des États-Unis. Histoire Oceanside Pier a été construit en 1888 mais a été détruite par les tempêtes pendant l'hiver 1890 et reconstruite en 1893 par Melchoir Pieper. La jetée a encore été détruite à quatre reprises par de fortes tempêtes, et à chaque fois reconstruite. La jetée actuelle a été bâtie et ouverte officiellement au public en septembre 1987, au coût de 5 millions de dollars. Au pied de la jetée se trouve l'amphithéâtre « Junior Seau Pier », qui accueille de nombreux événements tout au long de l'année. Près de la jetée s'élève le centre communautaire « Junior Seau Beach », également connu sous le nom « Beach Recreation Centre », qui comprend notamment un gymnase, une salle de réunion et un théâtre. L'amphithéâtre et le centre communautaire ont été rebaptisés à titre posthume en 2012 en l'honneur du héros du football local, Junior Seau.

Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant

The Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant, also called the Oceanside Treatment Plant, is a wastewater treatment plant operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission in San Francisco, California, United States. The award-winning facility is noted for its mostly underground construction inside a hollowed-out hill. It is between Ocean Beach and Lake Merced in the far-southwest corner of the city, near the San Francisco Zoo and the California National Guard. Overview Oceanside is a secondary treatment plant handling about 20% of the city's wastewater from one-third of the city's residents. Its maximum capacity is 65 million US gallons (250,000 m3) per day, with an average daily dry weather flow of 17 million US gallons (64,000 m3). It discharges treated water about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) offshore into the Pacific Ocean. Construction on the US$200 million, 12-acre (49,000 m2) facility began in January 1990 and was completed in June 1994. 70% of the structure is underground, covered with 6 ft (1.8 m) of earth and landscaping. Renaming proposal In 2008, a voter group called the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco proposed the facility be renamed the George W. Bush Sewage Plant in faux honor of the forty-third U.S. president, George W. Bush. By summer 2008, the effort had received a sustained burst of coverage from local and prominent national and international print and broadcast outlets. The proposal received 11,999 signatures, while only 7,168 were required for the measure. It appeared as Proposition R on the November 4, 2008 ballot, to become effective on 20 January 2009. Organizer Brian McConnell stated the reasons for the ballot proposal and renaming. Fifty years from now in a civics class, students will learn about the Lincoln Memorial, that other presidents are on Mount Rushmore – and George W. Bush got a sewage plant. It will prompt people to ask why, and they can discuss the Iraq war, and everything that led to it. People want to forget the bad moments of history, and this is our way of making sure that doesn't happen. In response to a question on the White House reaction to the proposal, Press Secretary Dana Perino noted that it did not "[dignify] a response." The official argument against Proposition R in the voter handbook had suggested that, given the total amount of the federal debt at the end of the Bush administration, "Maybe it would be more appropriate to name the local bankruptcy court or a consumer credit counseling center after Bush?" The proposal failed by a wide margin with 70 percent voting no at the polls. References External links Official Webpage Septic Tank Treatment
Odd Fellows Cemetery (Los Angeles)

Odd Fellows Cemetery is a cemetery in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It is notable for specializing in cremation of obese individuals, especially those over 400 pounds (180 kg). Fetus burial In 1985, 16,433 aborted fetuses were buried in unmarked graves at the cemetery on donated land. The fetuses were found in a shipping container in Woodland Hills, California in February 1982, and a three-year dispute over their burial ensued. The dispute reached the Supreme Court, who ruled the remains must be buried in a nonreligious ceremony. The burial included a eulogy by President Ronald Reagan, which was read at the 7 October 1985 service by Michael D. Antonovich. Notable interments William W. Fraser (died 1915) received the Medal of Honor for gallantry during the Siege of Vicksburg on 22 May 1863. Dr Harry Lehrer (died 1972) owned the Bumiller Building in Los Angeles. Billy Gilbert (died 1971) was a comedian and actor. Chris-Pin Martin (died 1953) was an American actor. Dora E. Schoonmaker (died 1934) Methodist missionary to Japan and educator.

Ohlone Park

Ohlone Park is a public linear park in the city of Berkeley, California, United States. Directly underground is the subway used by the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Red Line and Orange Line. It is part of the Ohlone Greenway. Description The park is divided into two pieces: the larger piece is a continuous strip of land approximately four blocks long, oriented east-west on the north side of Hearst Avenue, bounded by Sacramento (on the west) and Martin Luther King, Jr. (on the east). Three north-south streets dead end onto either side the larger part: California, McGee, and Grant. The smaller piece is approximately one block long, also oriented east-west along the north side of Hearst, bounded by Bonita (on the west) and Milvia (on the east). The park is just northwest of the main campus of the University of California at Berkeley. It is mostly grass with a scattering of trees and includes pedestrian and bicycle paths, a dog park, a basketball court, and a small ball field. There are four play areas for children, two for school-age children at McGee and at Milvia, and two for toddlers at Bonita and at McGee. The dog park, established in 1979 when the park was dedicated, is reported as one of the world's first off-leash dog parks. An official plaque by the City of Berkeley is dedicated to the dog park, calling it the world's first. There is a mural depicting the history of the Ohlone people on the large concrete vent at Milvia, painted by Native American artist Jean Lamarr in the late 1990s. History The park was created ad hoc by Berkeley citizens in connection with the People's Park controversy of the late 1960s. After Berkeley agreed to fund the cost to underground the BART lines through the city limits, the land, which was originally occupied by residences, was acquired then razed by BART during the cut-and-cover construction of its subway through Berkeley. After the trench for the subway was filled in, BART planned to construct apartment complexes on the strip. However, after the May 1969 protests and "Bloody Thursday" event over the People's Park site south of the main campus of UC-Berkeley, Berkeley citizens began planting sod and trees on the vacant strip and dubbed it "People's Park Annex". Although the Annex was the starting point for a protest march on May 31, 1969 and camps there were raided a week later, it was largely ignored by activists after the summer of 1969. After much haggling and public discussion, BART agreed to turn the Hearst strip over to the City of Berkeley, leasing the land for one dollar per year. The preservation of the park land and its formal name, "Ohlone Park" after the name of the local indigenous people, is credited to the efforts of a local couple, Alex and Martha Nicoloff. The park was dedicated on June 7, 1979. The non-profit Ohlone Dog Park Association (ODPA) was formed in 1983 to maintain the off-leash area, which is dedicated for Martha Scott Benedict, the leader of the ODPA founders.
