Pickerington Local School District

Pickerington Local School District, formerly Violet Township Schools (1905–1939), is a public school district in Ohio. It serves most of the city of Pickerington, Ohio, as well as part of the city of Columbus, Reynoldsburg, Canal Winchester and unincorporated parts of Fairfield and Franklin Counties. In the 1980s and 90s it was the fastest growing school district in Ohio over a five-year period. It is highly rated by NicheNiche. In 2004 the district was rated excellent by the state of Ohio. It is the taxing authority for the Pickerington Public Library as well as for the school district. Schools Elementary (K-4) Middle (5–6) Junior High (7–8) High School (9–12) Other Schools Career Center Ohio University Lancaster classes In the spring of 2023, Ohio University Lancaster will be offering classes at Pickerington North High School. Initially the four topics available are communication, English, philosophy and psychology. They are designed for both Ohio University and high school students. The high school students can obtain credit under the university's Credit Plus program. Grants The district has worked with local partners to obtain a grant from the federally funded Safe Routes to School grant program. In 2012 they received a $460,000 grant from The Ohio Department of Transportation for the program. November 8, 2022 bond issue In the November general election Pickerington Local Schools (PLSD) passed a $89.930 million bond issue aimed at reducing the overcrowding in the school district. It was the third attempt for a bond issue with the first one in November 2020 and May 2021. This proposed bond is about $5 million lower than similar ballot issues that were turned down in November 2020 and May 2021; it took out all of the extracurricular projects. The funds will allow the district to build a third junior high school that will accommodate 1,300 students and renovate Ridgeview Junior High School to convert it into a separate K-4 elementary school and 5th-6th grade middle school. This will create an eighth elementary school for 450 students and a fourth middle school for 450 students. The funds will also help the school purchase and renovate a property on Yarmouth Road to convert in to a preschool building. Upon renovation, the building would house 15 preschool classes that serve four elementary schools. In the works now, bond proceeds, along with some previously allocated General Funds, will be used to: Construct McGill Junior High School, located at the McGill property. Construction will also include bleachers, concession stands, two locker rooms, a press box, parking and a roadway to accommodate the new junior high's athletic teams. Renovate Ridgeview Junior High School. Central High School — add classrooms, expand the cafeteria, renovate the courtyard, add turf and a baseball field with dugouts. North High School — add classrooms, renovate the courtyard, add turf and a softball field with dugouts. Add flexible furniture throughout other schools. Relocate PLSD's Technology Department into Heritage Elementary. Renovate the existing building on Yarmouth Road to be used for preschool classrooms. References
Buckeye Furnace

Buckeye Furnace is a historic iron furnace in rural Jackson County, Ohio, United States. The 270-acre (110 ha) furnace produced charcoal iron and operated from 1852 to 1894. Like most blast furnaces of the time, it consists of a lower level for the furnace itself and an upper level for charcoal storage. The nearby community of Buckeye, Ohio, served as a company town for furnace workers. The furnace was part of the Hanging Rock Iron Region, an area of southern Ohio and northeast Kentucky which became known for iron production in the 19th century. As the region contained iron ore, limestone deposits, and wood for making charcoal, it was ideal for iron production. During the Civil War, the region made Ohio a top iron-producing state for the Union. The Ohio Historical Society purchased the furnace in 1935. In the 1960s, it began reconstructing the site's original buildings based on interviews with surviving furnace workers. The furnace was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It is currently a state historic site and open to the public for tours. References External links Media related to Buckeye Furnace at Wikimedia Commons Buckeye Furnace Historic Site

Top Thrill Dragster

A Top Thrill Dragster egy hidraulikus kilövőrendszerrel működő acél hullámvasút az ohiói Cedar Point vidámparkban Sanduskyban. Építője az Intamin AG, 2003. május 4-én nyitották meg a közönség számára. Megnyitásakor a világ legmagasabb és leggyorsabb hullámvasútja volt. 2005-től már csak a második legmagasabb és leggyorsabb hullámvasút a 139 méter magas és 206 km/h végsebességű Kingda Ka mögött. 190 km/h-s csúcssebességét 4 másodperc alatt éri el. 2010 novemberétől pedig a harmadik helyre esett sebesség tekintetében, az Abu-Dzabiban megnyílt Ferrari World vidámpark Formula Rossa nevű hullámvasútja 240 km/h csúcssebességével átvette a vezető helyet. Mivel az Intamin tervezte mindkettőt, kivitelezésük szinte egyforma, csak témájukban térnek el. A Kingda Ka témája egy mitikus tigrisen alapszik, a Dragster pedig a Top Fuel gyorsulási versenyek témájára épült.

Dresden Plant

The Dresden Plant is a 580 megawatt (MW), natural gas power plant located south of Dresden, Ohio in Muskingum County, Ohio. The plant began operations in 2012 and is currently owned by American Electric Power (AEP). History The Dresden Plant was first conceived in 2000 when Dresden Energy, LLC, a subsidiary of Dominion Energy, proposed the construction of a combined cycle power plant utilizing natural gas as its energy source. Construction began in 2001, but numerous delays and rising natural gas prices made the plant uneconomical at that time. In 2007, AEP would purchase the partially built Dresden Plant from a subsidiary of Dominion for $85 million. The Dresden Plant would remain in an idle state with a skeleton crew until 2011 when AEP recommenced construction at the site. Commercial operations began on February 1, 2012. The total cost for the construction of the plant was $366 million. Equipment The Dresden Plant features three units. There are two, General Electric, 7FA gas turbines which are fed into heat recovery steam generators designed by Vogt-NEM and a single, General Electric, D11 steam turbine generator. Both gas turbines are equipped with LO-NOx burners and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. See also List of power stations in Ohio References

Willard Park, Cleveland

Willard Park is a public park in downtown Cleveland, in the U.S. state of Ohio. The park sits at the northwest corner of East 9th Street and Lakeside Avenue, adjacent to Cleveland City Hall, and is within the boundaries of the Cleveland Mall historic district. It is the location of the public sculpture Free Stamp, and is the home of the original Cleveland Fire Fighters Memorial. Willard Park is named after the artist Archibald Willard. A copy of Archibald's painting The Spirit of '76 hangs in the Rotunda of the neighboring Cleveland City Hall. Free Stamp The Free Stamp is an outdoor sculpture located in Willard Park. Created by Claes Oldenburg and his wife Coosje van Bruggen, it has been called the "world's largest rubber stamp". The dimensions of the sculpture are 28 ft 10 in (8.79 m) by 26 ft (7.9 m) by 49 ft (15 m). The sculpture depicts a rubber stamp with the word "FREE" in its stamping area. The work was commissioned by The Standard Oil Company (Ohio) in 1982 for display at its soon-to-be-constructed headquarters building on Public Square, which became the BP America Tower. The piece was originally designed to stand upright, with the lettering of the stamp hidden from view on its "stamp pad". According to one of the executives working with Oldenburg, the message on the stamp was intended as a reference to the Civil War-era Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, located across the street. In an interview with WKYC-TV at the sculpture's 1991 dedication, Oldenburg said the stamp's message, "Free," referred to the emancipation of American slaves during and after the Civil War. Controlling interest in Standard Oil had previously been acquired by BP as part of the financing arrangements for construction of the Trans Alaska pipeline and oil rights to Prudhoe Bay reserves. BP executive Robert Horton took over the management of the retitled company, BP America, before the sculpture was installed. He believed that the stamp was "inappropriate" for the location, and that Oldenburg actually intended to mock BP about Sohio's loss of corporate freedom and the lack of freedom in office work. The company gave the artists permission to move the sculpture to another part of the city, but they refused. As a result, the stamp was placed in storage in a facility in Whiting, Indiana. Over the next several years, BP America, the artists, and the city consulted to find a new site for the sculpture. Several sites were proposed, including the Cleveland Museum of Art. The artists, who wanted the sculpture to remain near Public Square, finally chose Willard Park. In 1991, BP donated the sculpture to the city of Cleveland. The stamp was modified to sit on its side, and it was dedicated in its new location on November 15, 1991. At the dedication, Oldenburg told a WKYC-TV producer that it looked as if a giant hand had picked up the sculpture from its intended location at the BP Tower and angrily hurled it several blocks, where it ended up on its side.

Hale Farm and Village

Hale Farm and Village is a historic property of the Western Reserve Historical Society in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, United States. It is within the boundaries of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Hale Farm was the original homestead of Jonathan Hale, a Connecticut farmer who migrated to the Western Reserve in 1810. In 1973 Hale Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Jonathan Hale Homestead. The Hale House was built in 1825. Wheatfield The Western Reserve Historical Society opened Hale Farm in 1958 after receiving the property from Clara Belle Ritchie, descendant of Jonathan Hale. The eastern half of Hale Farm and Village is a living history museum that has a variety of historical buildings, most relocated from elsewhere. This recreated village is called Wheatfield. The majority of Wheatfield's structures are inhabited by people who present information on their location but acknowledge the modern world. This technique is known as third-person interpretation. First-person interpretation means that the inhabitants of a structure work as actors who play out the livelihood of a certain year and setting. The timeframe reenacted by the first-person interpreters at Wheatfield was 1862 in 2007. Each year, the actors will move forward one year, until they reach 1865, the end of the American Civil War, at which point they will revert to 1861, which was the beginning of the war. They also offer programs such as A Fugitive's Path to Freedom. Hale Farm and Village also has demonstrations of various nineteenth-century trades such as candle, broom, and brick making, glass blowing, and a blacksmith shop.

Piatt Park

Piatt Park (est. 1817) is the oldest park in Cincinnati, Ohio. The urban park stretches two blocks between Elm Street and Vine Street on Garfield Place/8th Street. The park is owned and maintained by the Cincinnati Park Board. History In 1817 John H. Piatt, a steamboat builder, and his brother, Benjamin M. Piatt, a Federal Circuit Judge and father of Civil War general Abram S. Piatt, gave 1 acre (0.40 ha) to the city on the condition it be used "for a market space". Its close proximity to the Sixth Street Market probably prevented the carrying out of the original wishes of the donors, and on June 19, 1868, the land along Eighth Street was formally dedicated to park uses. Bronze statues of US Presidents from Ohio stand on either end of the park, with a sculpture of James A. Garfield facing Vine and one of William Henry Harrison facing West toward the Covenant First Presbyterian Church across Elm. The Garfield statue, by Charles Henry Niehaus, was commissioned in 1883 and unveiled in 1887. Due to the presence of the statue of Garfield, the city park was known for a time as Garfield Park, officially receiving its designation as Piatt Park by the Board of Park Commissioners in 1940. The James A. Garfield statue was originally at the center of the street crossing of Garfield Place and Race Street. In 1915 it was moved into the park close to the same intersection. It was again moved during the renovation of Piatt Park in 1988 and now stands at the Vine Street entrance to the park. In 1994 the statue was vandalized with a painted anarchy symbol which seeped into the stone pedestal and is still somewhat visible. The bronze equestrian statue of a uniformed General Harrison on horseback by Louis T. Rebisso of the Cincinnati School of Design and his student Clement Barnhorn was dedicated in 1896. The North side of the pedestal states, "Ohio's First President" and the South side has his name "William Henry Harrison". The statue is odd in that there is no saddle on the horse, so the stirrups seem airborne. It is notable for being the only equestrian monument in Cincinnati. The monument originally faced East toward Vine Street but was moved in 1988 to its present location. Flanking Race Street in Piatt Park are two circular reflecting pools with granite slabs that mirror the surrounding urban landscape. Beneath a curtain of water that flows over the granite surfaces are carved symbols for water, air and land. Cincinnati artist Stuart Fink’s fountain was dedicated in 1989 in memory of local delicatessen owner Isadore “Izzy” Kadetz, who died in 1983.

West Union High School (Ohio)

West Union High School is a public high school located just outside West Union, Ohio. It is one of three high schools in the Adams County/Ohio Valley School District, the other two being North Adams High School and Peebles High School. All three schools are nearly identical in design. The district also has a vocational school (Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center). Background The current West Union High School building was completed in August 1997, along with three other public high schools in Adams County, North Adams, Peebles, and Manchester High School. All four schools used the same layout and appear almost identical from the air. Controversy The four regular public high schools in Adams County were built at the same time and all four featured a large granite tablet outside the school carved with the Ten Commandments. They were relocated after a lengthy four-year legal battle over the placement of the tablets on public property. Athletics The school's mascot is the Dragon.
