Celebration Church & Outreach Ministry The ministry was originally founded in 2001 by Pastor Geronimo Aguilar as Richmond Outreach Center. It was first located in a small warehouse near Pure Pleasure before moving to the current location. The church was renamed to Celebration Church & Outreach Ministry in 2015 after the former pastor was indicted on sexual assault charges against two girls in 2013. After this, church attendance declined significantly and there were many changes in pastors. In April 2021, Pastors Jay and Ashley Patrick announced that Celebration Church's board of directors had gifted Liberation the property of Celebration Church debt-free. It included a 135,00 sq ft sanctuary, commercial workout facility, and a full service cafe. An additional property was also given for women who are suffering human trafficking and domestic violence. Before Liberation Church was gifted Celebration's property, Pastor Jay Patrick was already giving sermons at the location on Saturday evenings.

Richmond Times-Dispatch

Le Richmond Times-Dispatch est un quotidien américain basé à Richmond, capitale de la Virginie. Circulation En 2015, le Richmond Times-Dispatch est le deuxième quotidien le plus vendu de l'État après The Virginian-Pilot (en) ; troisième si l'on prend en compte USA Today, quotidien national. Histoire Le Richmond Dispatch est fondé en 1850 par James A. Cowardin. The Daily Times (est quant à lui fondé en 1886 par Lewis Ginter et devient le Richmond Times quatre ans plus tard. En 1896, les deux titres fusionnent et deviennent le Richmond Times-Dispatch, journal du matin propriété de Joseph Bryan (jusqu'alors propriétaire du Times). Le propriétaire du Dispatch, John Williams, conserve quant à lui The Richmond News Leader, journal de l'après-midi, issu de la fusion de son journal Richmond News et de l'Evening Leader de Bryan. En 1908, Joseph Bryan rachète The News Leader à Williams. En 1940, les deux titres rivaux forment le groupe Richmond Newspapers. En 1992, le quotidien fusionne avec le Richmond News Leader. Le journal issu de cette fusionne reste nommé Richmond Times-Dispatch. En 2012, Media General (anciennement Richmond Newspapers) vend le Richmond Times-Dispatch et 60 autres publications à une filiale du groupe Berkshire Hathaway. Prises de position En 1948, Virginius Dabney (en) — rédacteur en chef du Richmond Times-Dispatch de 1936 à 1969 — reçoit le prix Pulitzer pour ses éditoriaux opposés à la ségrégation raciale aux États-Unis. Cependant, poussé par les propriétaires du journal, il se montre moins critique de la résistance de la Virginie face à la déségrégation, imposée par l'arrêt Brown v. Board of Education. Le Richmond Times-Dispatch, comme la plupart des journaux du Sud des États-Unis, est alors favorable à la ségrégation. Après avoir appuyé tous les candidats républicains à l'élection présidentielle depuis 1980, le Richmond Times-Dispatch apporte en 2016 son soutien au libertarien Gary Johnson.

Trout Pond

Trout Pond — formerly called Old Pond — located near Wardensville in Hardy County, West Virginia, USA, is the state's only natural lake. The small "lake" is situated in the Trout Pond Recreation Area (TPRA) of the George Washington National Forest. Formerly, the pond had fluctuated in surface area between 2 and 3 acres (0.81 and 1.21 ha), but recently it has appeared to be disappearing due to underground structural changes. History Trout Pond was created by a sinkhole that filled with water from a series of mountain streams running off Long Mountain (3,130 feet or 950 meters). Much of the region surrounding Trout Pond lies on layers of limestone that have been slowly eroded away by rainfall, causing conical holes to open up within the ground. Many of these sinkholes grow quite large with significant depths like Trout Pond, but because of its unique location, it had, until recently, been able to maintain a permanent status as a pond. In July 2002, Forest Service officials suspected that a shift in the limestone cavern underneath the sinkhole had caused the water level to drop. Within a month, it had drained almost dry. It has regenerated several times since then, during long spells of wet weather, but as soon as the rains stop it empties again. Geology Trout Pond and its sinkhole are karst features. They are underlain by strata of Tonoloway Limestone and the Helderberg Group. TPRA The facilities of the Trout Pond Recreation Area were constructed in the late 1970s. This National Forest campground has a designated swimming area, easy lakeside trails, and 50 campsites. The normal operating season is early May through the last Monday in October. Trout Pond has long been stocked with trout, hence its current name. This was discontinued for a time, however, due to erosion of the banks caused by fishermen.

Staunton High School

Staunton High School is a public high school in Staunton, Virginia, United States. It is a part of Staunton City Schools, a public school district that also includes three elementary schools, a middle school, and an alternative education program. History Staunton High School was originally opened in the early 1900s and renamed Robert E. Lee High School in 1914 during the monthly school board meeting held on April 30, 1914 at the urging of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. In 1983, the school moved to what had been John Lewis Junior High School, on North Coalter Street. The original building subsequently housed a summer ESL school and a parochial school operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Richmond, and was later renovated into senior apartments. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. In July 2014 The News Leader received a letter to the editor that suggested renaming Robert E. Lee High School; The majority of the newspaper's editorial board and key employees agreed and suggested possible names. In August 2017, in the wake of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the editorial board stated that it may be "tougher" to keep the school named after Lee. In October 2018, after months of debate, as well as "focus groups and community listening sessions" conducted by the Virginia Center For Inclusive Communities, the Staunton School Board voted 4–2 in favor of renaming the school. The next month, following a public survey with over 4,000 submissions, it was decided the school would return to its original name, Staunton High School. The change took effect on July 1, 2019.
