Harshaw building G or C removal for Cleveland Metropark Towpath 11-20-2014 | Organic Slant
The 55-acre Harshaw Chemical Company FUSRAP Site is located at 1000 Harvard Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. From 1944 to 1959, the former Harshaw Chemical Company was contracted by the Manhattan Engineer District and the Atomic Energy Commission to produce uranium that was then sent to Oak Ridge, Tenn., for isotopic separation and enrichment.
The Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) Site and the upcoming deconstruction of Building G-1 allows further investigation of the groundwater at the site.
Stage 1 of the Towpath Trail will cross Harvard Rd. at street level, run through a piece of ArcelorMittal’s property and cross the Cuyahoga River via a single-span bridge. On the west side of the river, an elevated structure underneath the Harvard Denison Bridge will take trail users over train tracks and active industry and head north to Steelyard Commons.
The pollution on the Harshaw Chemical site has caused many logistical challenges to building Stage 1 of the Towpath Trail Extension Project.
Building G-1 contained the major processing plants, the Refinery and the Brown Oxide Plant, which produced uranium trioxide and uranium dioxide respectively. Also located in Building G-1 were the uranium tetrafluoride and the uranium hexafluoride plant.
FUSRAP was initiated in 1974 to identify, investigate, and clean up or control sites throughout the United States that were part of the nation's early atomic energy program. The Corps of Engineers, as lead federal agency for FUSRAP, follows the phased process required in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. The Corps of Engineers is in the feasibility study phase of the CERCLA process at the Harshaw Chemical Company FUSRAP Site.
Additional information about the site is available at: and in the administrative record file for the Harshaw Chemical Company FUSRAP Site, which is available for review in the Cuyahoga County Library, Brooklyn Branch, 4480 Ridge Road, Brooklyn, Ohio 44144, (electronic version only) and the Cleveland Public Library, 325 Superior Avenue, N.E., Cleveland, Ohio 44114 (electronic and paper-copy version).

Hiram Young - Black Entrepreneur and U.S. western expansion
Hiram Young (c. 1812-1882) was one of the leading manufacturers of wagons in Independence, MO for westward pioneers in the mid-19th century, notably the Forty-niners, and a successful African-American entrepreneur.
Young was born a slave in Tennessee in the early 19th century, and married while still a slave. He moved to Missouri, and at some point he purchased his wife Matilda's freedom; according to some reports he bought Matilda's freedom before his own, a common practice at the time because the children of a slave and a free person inherited the mother's status.
This slideshow shares ways in which Hiram Young is remembered in the Kansas City area including two recent public art installations - one in a park in Independence, Mo. and the other a bridge in Kansas City, Mo. which follows the route of the Santa Fe Trail.
The images from the Truman Library are a mural painted by Thomas Hart Benton titled Independence and the Opening of the West which was finished in 1960.
Benton always insisted the figures represented types of people and not actual individuals. Regardless, the mural vividly depicts hustle and bustle of Independence during the time period when Young was one of the wagon makers and entrepreneurs.

Let’s Get Moving at the Library! Physical Activity Programs for Fun & Health 10 23 2018
What can you do in your library to increase physical activity in
your community? My research shows that 36 public libraries across Indiana already get their communities moving with everything from Tai Chi in the Park (Adams Public Library System) to Yoga Storytime (Putnam County Public Library) being offered regularly throughout the state. And there are other ways to get people moving beyond having programs like these. The Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library checks out pickleball sets and at least eight Indiana libraries regularly do StoryWalk programs at local parks. Attend this webinar to learn how, no matter your size or budget, you can do something to support physical activity. Using examples from Indiana libraries, and from around the world, this webinar will provide you with proven strategies you can use to develop new programs, services, and spaces at your library.
Presenter: Dr. Noah Lenstra, MLIS is an assistant professor of Library and Information Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, and the founder and director of Let’s Move in Libraries, an international initiative to get people of all ages and abilities moving in public libraries.
This webinar is eligible for 1 LEU.
This webinar is eligible for Library Education Units for Indiana Librarians. The following policy applies: Any time a staff member views an online event (or a library purchases a site license for an online event) by any of the Training Providers Approved by ISL for LEUs, the library’s designee in an administrative or Human Resources role shall create and award LEU certificates in-house.
The McKinley Monument May 3rd 2014
The McKinley Monument, a landmark in the City of Canton, is the final resting place for the 25th President of the United States, William McKinley. Residents of Canton pass by the Monument or run up and down the 108 steps everyday. Traveling on Interstate 77, the Monument towers above the trees. But some may wonder: Why is such a magnificent building in Canton? The answer is quite simple. William McKinley was and is Canton's favorite son. While the President was born in Niles, Ohio, he called Canton home. After his death, it was fitting that the President be laid to rest in the city where his career began, the place where he found his true love and ran for the highest office in the land.
On September 16, 1901 the funeral train left Buffalo, New York for Washington, D.C. Following services at the United States Capitol, the President's body was placed back on the train for his final trip to Canton. On September 19 President McKinley's body was interred at the Werts Receiving Vault in Canton's West Lawn Cemetery.
After the services, several of the President's closest advisors, including William R. Day and Ohio Senator Marcus Hanna, met to discuss the location of a proper memorial to serve as a final resting place. The site chosen was often visited by McKinley. At one time, he even had suggested that a monument to soldiers and sailors from Stark County be placed there.
On September 26, 1901 the McKinley National Memorial Association was formed and President Theodore Roosevelt named the original Board of Trustees. The first order of business was to purchase the site, owned at the time by the West Lawn Cemetery. By October 10, the Association issued a public appeal for $600,000 in contributions for the construction project. Ohio Governor George K. Nash supported the effort by proclaiming McKinley's birthday in 1902 a special day of observance by the state's schools. Large numbers of school children contributed to the memorial fund, and the Association was able to purchase the proposed site.
Construction of the memorial began on June 6, 1905 when Mr. Magonigle removed the first shovel of soil from the site. ByNovember 16 the cornerstone was laid in an official ceremony attended by Mrs. McKinley and other family members.
The interior dome measures 50 feet in diameter and is 77 feet from the floor to the highest point. At the top of the dome is a red, white and blue skylight. The skylight has 45 stars in its design representing the 45 states in the Union at the time of President McKinley's death. The skylight was part of the original design, but for some reason was never installed. There was a clear glass skylight in its place. Using Magonigle's plans, and the Canton glass specialists White Associates, the 12-foot diameter skylight was installed during a restoration project in 1976.
By September 1907 the Monument and the 26 acres surrounding it were finished. Nine states had contributed material for the memorial. Ohio supplied the concrete, all of the brick, and much of the labor. Massachusetts provided the exterior granite and Tennessee the marble walls and pedestal and part of the marble floor. New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin, Illinois and Rhode Island also contributed material for the project.
After the dedication the McKinley National Memorial Association continued to administer the site. Eventually, it became difficult for the Association to maintain the structure and the grounds. In early 1941 the federal government was approached about taking over the site. With war underway in Europe, it was clear that the United States might become involved and the government did not want to take on additional financial responsibilities. In 1943, the property was transferred to the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, today known as the Ohio Historical Society. In 1951 on the 50th anniversary of McKinley's death the memorial was rededicated by the state.
The memorial returned to local control in 1973 when the property was transferred to the Stark County Historical Society, owners and operators of the Wm. McKinley Presidential Library & Museum. On September 29, 1992, after years of restoration work and enhancement of the grounds the McKinley National Memorial was rededicated yet again. This rededication recognized the partnership undertaken by the Federal Government, local foundations and private citizens to honor the memory of President William McKinley.

Kurt Vonnegut Lecture
02-04-2004
Identifier
Known as one of America's literary giants, Kurt Vonnegut visited the campus in 2004 to meet with Case's College Scholars and to give a public lecture.
Students at Case Western Reserve University will hang with one of America's literary giants when he visits Cleveland for a public lecture, sponsored by the Case College Scholars Program.
Clevelanders can hear Kurt Vonnegut, the author of such books as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, Welcome to the Monkey House and other best-selling novels, Wednesday, February 4, at 4 p.m. in Severance Hall, 11001 Euclid Avenue.
While Piano Player (1952)-his first book-launched Vonnegut's career as a novelist, it would be Slaughterhouse-Five that propelled him to the top of the bestseller's list in 1969. Like many other Vonnegut novels, Slaugherhouse Five is deeply rooted in the author's personal experiences. This best-seller draws upon his nightmarish imprisonment by the Germans, who kept him with other POWs in an underground meat locker during the Allied Forces' bombing that killed 135,000 people in Dresden, Germany.
Felt-tip doodling on his manuscripts evolved into book illustrations for Breakfast of Champions (1973) and other works. He also has become known as an artist and has exhibited work alongside Norman Mailer and Tennessee Williams, both painters and writers. His graphic designs would be the feature of a one-man exhibit at Margo Fiden Gallery in 1983 in New York City.
Case's College Scholars are an active group of students who go beyond getting good grades. With their hands in various campus organizations, they exhibit potential to be among the next generation of leaders in service to their country and communities. Following Vonnegut's talk, they will rap over dinner with the writer and artist when he visits the Scholars House on the Case campus.
Exploring a Lost Ohio Cemetery recently uncovered
We found a once forgotten abandoned cemetery. No longer overgrown but what is its story.
While doing some urbex location scouting I stumbled upon an old cemetery in Greene County, OH. At the corner of W. Hyde Road and W. Enon Road. In the corner of a cornfield. Many headstones are from the mid-1800s. Several are partially covered by dirt, broken, laying down, and moved from their original placement. You can see where it used to have many more trees and this leads me to believe that it was cleaned up in the last few years. If you know more details about this cemetery. Comment below.

Peter Wolf Toth Trail of the Whispering Giants
Peter Toth created 74 Whispering Giants all are in all 50 states 1 in Canada, and even one in Hungary. Interesting fact is that they all resemble natives of the region that they are located in. The basic tools he used to create these were a hammer and chisel...and on occasion he used a mallet and an axe. He rarely ever used power tools to create these beautiful pieces of art. I hope everyone will be able to find them and let me know more about them with either photos or through a video.

Grover Cleveland
Stephen Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States; as such, he is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms and to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents. He was the winner of the popular vote for president three times—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was one of the two Democrats elected to the presidency in the era of Republican political domination dating from 1861 to 1933.

Bus Driver Uppercuts Female Passenger (Video)
A Cleveland transit bus driver has been suspended after a video surfaced that shows him punching a female passenger in the face. The Regional Transit Authority in Cleveland says the confrontation happened three weeks ago but didn't know about it until seeing the video.
The agency said Friday that the bus driver is a 22-year veteran of the Regional Transit Authority and was suspended immediately. His name hasn't been released. A video posted on YouTube shows the 25-year-old woman and the driver arguing at the front bus before he got out of his seat and punched her. The bus agency has apologized to the woman. She did not file charges.* Ana Kasparian and Steve Oh break down the violent incident, why it shouldn't have happened, and why some people are defending the driver.
