Virginia Smith Converter Station

Virginia Smith Converter Station is a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) back-to-back converter station near Sidney, Nebraska. Completed in 1988, it is significant for being the first interchange between eastern and western United States electrical grids. The station can transfer a maximum power of 200 megawatts and the voltage used is 55.5 kV. The facility was named for former Congresswoman Virginia Smith, a Nebraska Republican who represented Nebraska's 3rd congressional district from 1975 to 1991. Virginia Smith Converter Station was built by Siemens. A plaque commemorating the achievement is located in the atrium of the Western Area Power Administration headquarters building in Lakewood, Colorado. Timing differences in continental-sized nations make national power grids based solely on conventional alternating current impossible. However, power can be transferred over longer distances and between separate AC grids by conversion to direct current during transmission, and conversion to alternating current in phase with the local line frequency at the delivery point. By the early 21st century, high-power semiconductors began to make the more difficult DC-to-AC conversion technically and economically possible at the high power levels needed in power grids.

Virginia Smith Dam

Virginia Smith Dam (also known as Calamus Dam; National ID # NE02287) is a dam in Garfield County, Nebraska, about five miles northwest of Burwell. The earthen dam was constructed in 1985 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation with a height of 96 feet (29 m) and 5,808 feet (1,770 m) long at its crest. It impounds the Calamus River for irrigation storage and flood control, as part of the North Loup Division of the extensive, multi-state Pick–Sloan Missouri Basin Program. The dam is owned by the Bureau and is operated by the local Twin Loup Irrigation District. The reservoir it creates, Calamus Reservoir, has a water surface of 5,142 acres (2,081 ha), 6,404 acres (2,592 ha) of land, about 31 miles (50 km) of shoreline, and a maximum capacity of 27,400 acre-feet (33,800,000 m3). Recreation includes fishing (walleye, wiper, white bass, northern pike, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and crappie, etc.), hunting, boating, camping and hiking. The reservoir is also the site of the state Calamus Reservoir State Recreation Area and Wildlife Management Area. Although the dam itself is located in Garfield County, most of the reservoir lies in Loup County, to its west. The lake and surrounding public lands are a part of the Calamus State Recreation Area, managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

Walnut Hill Pumping Station

The Walnut Hill Pumping Station, located in the Walnut Hill neighborhood, is part of the Metropolitan Utilities District water system serving the City of Omaha, Nebraska. It occupies four square blocks between 38th and 40th Streets, from Hamilton to Nicholas Streets. History Three large reservoirs are filled daily by the Florence Water Works and distributed to the central part of the city by gravity. Three booster pumps the water to higher parts of the area, including Dundee. Walnut Hill is part of the original Omaha Water Works built in 1882. It was designed by Homer Virgil Knouse. They were originally fed from an intake at Burt Street and the Missouri River. The original landscaping at Walnut Hill, including sidewalks, streets, trees, and flowers cost $10,000. The Burt Street station continued to feed Walnut Hill, along with the newer Minne Lusa Pumping Station, until 1900. The original pump building burnt down in 1916 and was replaced by the current building. See also Florence Water Works References External links Historic photo Historic postcard

Westside Community Schools

Westside Community Schools, also known locally as District 66, is the third largest school district in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The district has one high school, one middle school, ten elementary schools, and one alternative high school. The district is in the center-west part of Omaha, between the Omaha Public Schools district and the Millard Public Schools district. Westside also has over 2,000 "opt-in" students, with most coming from OPS. History In 1946, residents of four rural school districts located in what was then farming areas to the west of Omaha began holding discussions about combining resources, which led to a proposal to merge the four districts. In 1947, three of the districts—Districts 31, 46 and 65—agreed to merge to create District 66. A junior-senior high school for the district was founded in 1952 where Westside High School is located today. Recent events The high school, Westside High School, has purchased about 2,000 MacBook computers in the "1:1 Initiative". Each high school student is issued one at the beginning of the year. They are used by students throughout the school year, and then returned at the end of this time. The intent of the initiative was to offer each student the same technological opportunities. Westside Middle School followed in the footsteps of the high school and bought about 1,000 computers for the 7th and 8th graders, with the same rules and constraints as the high school students. Elementary school students also have access to MacBook computers, as well as iPads. In 2012, the board of education announced that Dr. Blane McCann had been selected as superintendent. In 2021 the school issued an apology after their "quote of the day" program included a saying by Adolf Hitler. Schools See also Education in Omaha, Nebraska Westside School District v.

Willa Cather House

The Willa Cather House, also known as the Willa Cather Childhood Home, is a historic house museum at 241 North Cedar Street in Red Cloud, Nebraska. Built in 1878, it is the house where author Willa Cather (1873–1947) grew up. Cather's descriptions of frontier life in Nebraska were an important part of the literary canon of the early 20th century. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The house is one of eight structures that make up the Willa Cather State Historic Site, which is owned by the Willa Cather Foundation. Description and history The Willa Cather House is located just west of downtown Red Cloud, at the southwest corner of North Cedar Street and West 3rd Avenue. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The front facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the leftmost bay. A single-story shed-roof porch extends across the front, supported by square wooden posts with a decorative woodwork valance between them. The interior is organized with a parlor in front, a dining room and master bedroom behind, and a kitchen and a second bedroom at the rear. A narrow stair from the kitchen to the attic is a reconstruction. The rear bedroom was described by Willa Cather as "grandmother's room" in "Old Mrs. Harris", and the stairs lead to the loft where Cather and her siblings slept. The interior has been furnished and decorated using Cather family artifacts and period items. The house was built in 1878. Cather's parents moved the family to this house in the spring of 1885, and Cather was resident here until she turned seventeen and left for college. Her parents remained in the house (which they rented) for some years afterward, moving elsewhere in Red Cloud in 1904. Cather was a regular visitor to the town in her lifetime. The house was purchased in 1960 by the Willa Cather Memorial and Educational Foundation, which oversaw its restoration and return to the period of Cather's occupancy. Cather described the years in which she came of age here as influential on her writing, even though most of her writing was done while she lived elsewhere.

Bailey Yard

Bailey Yard är världens största rangerbangård och ägs av Union Pacific Railroad. Den ligger omedelbart väster om staden North Platte, i delstaten Nebraska nära mitten av USA på järnvägssträckan Overland Route, (Oakland, Kalifornien –) Cheyenne, Wyoming – Omaha, Nebraska (– Chicago). Denna järnvägssträcka är den ursprungliga sträckningen för den transamerikanska järnvägen, och bangårdens äldsta föregångare byggdes på 1860-talet när staden North Platte grundades av järnvägen. Namnet Bailey Yard härstammar från den tidigare ordföranden i järnvägsbolaget Ed. H. Bailey. Under andra världskriget låg en stor kantin här som serverade måltider till amerikanska värnpliktiga på transport genom landet. Efter kriget har bangården successivt byggts ut i flera etapper. Det förekommer sedan 1970-talet ingen persontrafik förbi denna bangård, men sträckan är fortfarande viktig för tung godstrafik. I North Platte har Union Pacific över 2 600 anställda. I nära anslutning till bangården har Union Pacific lok- och vagnverkstäder för underhåll och reparation. Källor
Zoo Bar (Lincoln, Nebraska)

The Zoo Bar is a blues music venue and nightclub located in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska, on 136 North 14th Street. Styled around the Chicago blues clubs, it is a long, narrow venue in a building built in 1921. Around 1971, Jim Ludwig, Bill Kennedy, and Don Chamberlin purchased the bar. Larry Boehmer, a Master of Fine Arts student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln at the time, promoted the bar to his fellow artists. He booked the first band in 1973 and was sole owner by 1977. Boehmer met Chicago musician and promoter Bob Riedy and formed a connection that brought many revered Chicago artists to the Lincoln club. Because of this connection, the Zoo Bar was the first white club that Magic Slim ever played. In 1975 he had never ventured outside the clubs in Chicago's African-American neighborhoods. In 1977, Boehmer was the sole owner and the Zoo was established as an important stop for bands on the touring circuit. The first band Boehmer booked to play in the club was The Cotton Blues Band in the summer of 1973. The first national act to play at the bar was Luther Allison in September 1974. Musical acts have included: Bernard Allison, Luther Allison, Dave Alvin, Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs, Tab Benoit, Tommy Castro, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Deke Dickerson, Bo Diddley, Chris Duarte, Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials, Tinsley Ellis, Rick Estrin, Anson Funderburgh, Buddy Guy, the Hacienda Brothers, John Hammond, The Belairs, James Harman, Mark Hummel, Candye Kane, Jay McShann, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Charlie Musselwhite, Rod Piazza, Ana Popović, Otis Rush, Doug Sahm, Curtis Salgado, Gina Sicilia, Magic Slim, Watermelon Slim, Son Seals, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Kim Wilson, and Link Wray. Eddie Clearwater, Mighty Joe Young, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Carey Bell Numerous live albums have been recorded in the club. Magic Slim and his band were regular performers at the bar, playing week-long stints. In the 1990s, Magic Slim moved his family from Chicago to Lincoln. In 1993 the Zoo Bar won the Blues Foundation's Keeping the Blues Alive Award for Club of the Year. James Harman wrote a song on behalf of the club called "Everybody's Rockin' (At The Zoo Bar)", which can be found on Harman's 1995 Black And White CD. In 2000 Larry Boehmer retired and passed the bar on to his sons, Jeff and Tim Boehmer, and Pete Watters; Jeff and Pete are partners in the club now. On September 4, 2012, Larry Boehmer died after struggling with lung cancer. Many not only remember Larry as a visual artist and blues player, but as a community builder. In July 2013, the bar celebrated its 40th anniversary. References External links The Zoo Bar Website Zoo Bar on MySpace
Zorinsky Lake Park

Zorinsky Lake Park is a park located at 156th and F streets in West Omaha, Nebraska. Named after Senator Edward Zorinsky of Omaha, the park has a 255-acre (103 ha) lake offering boating and fishing. The park is surrounded by 770 acres (310 ha) of public land, including 190 acres (77 ha) dedicated to wildlife management. The park is home to the Bauermeister prairie, which houses 120 species of plants, birds, and wildlife. About In response to damaging floods in 1964 and 1965, several dams were constructed on Papillion (Papio) Creek and its tributaries for flood control. In 1984, the reservoir was completed, and then the dam structure was closed in 1989. Zorinsky Lake Park opened in 1993 after the US Army Corps of Engineers leased the land to the City of Omaha. The Park was named after the late U.S. Senator Edward Zorinsky. The park includes two playgrounds, several playing fields and multiple picnic areas. Tree-lined trails running through Zorinsky Lake encompass the perimeter of the lake. The small lake is approximately 3.15 miles (5.07 km) and the big lake is 4.44 miles (7.15 km) around. It is 7.4 miles (11.9 km) around the both lakes. The path is marked every tenth of the mile with green markers to give the location around the lake. The park hours are from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 7 days a week. The lake has a surface area of 255 acres (103 ha) and is a day-use facility offering two modern playgrounds, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a football field, hiking and bicycling trails, and a universally accessible fishing dock. According to the Nebraska Game and Park Commission, Zorinsky Lake was stocked with 79 largemouth bass on April 16, 2009 and 38,000 walleye on June 10, 2009. The maximum speed limit on the lake is 5 mph (8.0 km/h) and there is no-wake boating permitted. The boat ramp is located on the east side of the lake and can be accessed from 156th and f Street. In November 2010, a local Boy Scout found a zebra mussel attached to a beer can at the edge of the lake. In an attempt to eradicate the invasive mollusk, the lake was partially drained in the winter of 2010–11, lowering its level by 17.5 feet (5.3 m): it was thought that removing the water and exposing the mussels to sub-freezing air temperatures would kill them off.
