FROM ADA ICON - Note: The Icon introduces a new, twice a month column by an Ada High School student. This is our new columnist's initial column.
My name is Amelia Alexander. I am 15 years old. I was born and raised here in Ada, where I attend school. I adore reading, writing, and learning. I write poetry for my own pleasure in my spare time.
When I’m not writing, I’m running, playing volleyball or tennis, or spending time with friends and family. I’m a member of book club, Ada Mental Health Alliance, and language club, all of which I have joined through school.
Bluffton University is offering a graduate-level course on creating quality learning experiences for K-12 remote classrooms, Jan.11-Feb. 26, 2021.
“This course is timely, as many teachers are working with students remotely and those teachers who are not instructing remotely could be at any time,” said Dr. Amy Mullins, director of graduate programs in education.
“Through this course, teachers will develop a plan to organize for teaching remotely and build a repertoire of strategies for online learning.”
What was the Woodcock power plant, where was it, and what became of it?
Answer: the power plant was located on the property now housing John’s Body shop at the intersection of Lake Street and County Line Road.
The Central Ohio Light and Power Co., opened the plant in 1937. It serviced 37 communities including Findlay, North Baltimore and Wooster.
The photo accompanying this story shows the plant and indicates some of the plant's structure. The Bluffton plant received up to 11 loads of coal daily. You can see coal cars loaded on a side awaiting to be used for power.
