Possible Piketon data center emissions worry residents, city

ATHENS, Ohio — The scope of the data center project in Piketon has some residents concerned about potential downwind emissions affecting Athens County. Councilmember Beth Clodfelter (At-Large) read an email from Aaron Leatherwood, outlining his concerns about pollution from the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus . This project will transform the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant into the largest data center in the world according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Power for the facility will be provided by a 9.2 gigawatt natural gas-fired power plant. “The developer is attempting to rush the project and is hoping to go from application to power production in under two years,” Leatherwood wrote. “The project is not receiving the scrutiny that it needs to receive, particularly in regards to downwind health.” Of particular concern to Leatherwood is the decision by the developers to utilize conventional gas-turbines rather than the cleaner and more efficient combined-cycle gas turbines. “Their efforts to mitigate the scale of this project are limited and constrained by the technologies they are choosing, and it will be far harder to change once this plant is built,” Leatherwood continued. While Clodfelter did not read the rest of Leatherwood’s email out loud, Leatherwood made “a

These mysterious rock carvings in Ohio could be a thousand years old

Ohio's history stretches back centuries, and some of it is carved into the sandstone of southern Ohio. But exactly how old those carvings are remains a mystery to this day. The Leo Petroglyphs are a series of ancient rock carvings in southern Ohio that were likely created by people of the Fort Ancient culture, according to the Ohio History Connection . Their exact age, however, is unknown. Here's what to know about the centuries-old carvings and what historians know about their origins. Language: This food is the word Ohioans struggle to pronounce most The exact age of Ohio's Leo Petroglyphs remains a mystery The exact age of the petroglyphs isn't known. Based on the weathering of the sandstone, the Ohio History Connection says that the carvings are probably no more than 1,000 years old and were likely created by people of the Fort Ancient culture. The site contains 37 petroglyphs, or figures carved into a sandstone outcrop, depicting humans, birds, human and animal footprints, a fish, a snake and other figures. A shelter house covers the sandstone slab containing the carvings, protecting the rock art from the elements. Where are the Leo Petroglyphs in Ohio? Leo Petroglyphs & Nature Preserve

Voters pass multiple tax measures in Hocking County

In unofficial results from the Hocking County Board of Elections, a number of local tax levies were passed by county voters in the Nov. 3 election — though with two of the measures, the vote was close enough that the outcome could conceivably still change once outstanding provisional votes are counted. Levies that passed by solid margins include: • Scenic Hills Senior Center renewal levy — 5,293 for, 3,954 against • Murray City current expenses renewal levy 1 — 57 for, 25 against • Murray City current expenses renewal levy 2 — 56 for, 26 against • Murray City fire renewal levy — 61 for, 22 against • Murray City street renewal levy — 57 for, 25 against • Murray City police renewal levy — 52 for, 30 against • Good Hope Township fire renewal levy — 382 for, 156 against • Laurel Township road renewal levy — 268 for, 160 against • Saltcreek Township road renewal levy — 199 for, 134 against Others, however, were close enough that outstanding provisionals could potentially flip the outcome. These include the Falls Township fire renewal and increase levy, which won by a three-vote margin of 848 for, 845 against; and the Laurelville
