Mengenal Athens, OH, yang Permai
ATHENS, OH 45701--Kotaku, Rumahku
(dari Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens,_Ohio)
Athens is a small city and the county seat of Athens County in southeastern Ohio, USA, on the Hocking River. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 21,342.
History
The first permanent European settlers arrived in Athens in 1797. In 1800, the townsite was first surveyed and platted, but was not incorporated as a village until 1811. In the meantime, Ohio became a state in 1803, and Ohio University was chartered in 1804. Previously part of Washington County, Ohio, Athens County was formed in 1805.
Athens did not receive city status until 1912 (in Ohio, 5,000 permanent residents are required to receive city status). Athens still has only slightly over 6,100 permanent residents within city limits -- the other 15,000 population are students.
Originally, large tracts of land -- Athens and Alexander Townships -- were set aside under the ownership of Ohio University. At first, lands were mostly leased out, but the failure of many lessors to pay their rents resulted in most of the land being sold. The sale of these lands funded the growth of Ohio University. Today it is one of the larger institutions of higher learning in Ohio, with an enrollment of over 20,000.
The earliest industry in the area was salt production, followed by iron production and coal extraction. Today, the largest employer in the county is Ohio University.
In 1843, the Hocking Canal opened, enabling shipping from the Ohio River up the Hocking River, which passes through Athens, to Nelsonville, Ohio, and points beyond. However, the canal was closed during cold winters when it froze over. The first railroad reached Athens in 1857. In the late 1800s, an interurban line opened between Athens and Nelsonville and operated for some years.
The Athens Lunatic Asylum, later the Ohio State Hospital, opened in 1874. This was located on high ground to the south of town and to the south of the Hocking River, and in the late 1800s was the town's largest employer.
Starting in 1969, the Hocking River was partly relocated and partly channelized for a stretch of several miles around the town, moving the river hundreds of feet to the south so that the floodplain, formerly south of the river, was now north of the river and since has been extensively built on by Ohio University. Much of these floodplains was originally agricultural land for the state hospital, but also included park-like areas open to the public. There was an outstanding virgin grove of sycamores near the present Richland Avenue bridge that was destroyed by a tornado in the late 1800s.
The old state hospital was eventually decommissioned and the property given to Ohio University. It is now known as The Ridges. Much of the building space has been renovated for offices and research space, and most of the grounds has been set aside as open space, including a land lab.
The only battle ever to take place in Athens occurred in 1904 when both the U.S. Army and the Ohio National Guard were conducting training exercises at the same time at the city. When some guardsmen became drunk and caused a disturbance, they were arrested by Army MPs. The ensuing quarrel escalated into a battle on Washington Street, during which one guardsman was killed and several combatants were wounded.
Geography
Athens is located at 39°19'45" North, 82°5'46" West (39.329427, -82.096237)1.
Athens is located in the unglaciated Allegheny Plateau. The county extends west from the Ohio River.
Athens is located mostly on and around a south-jutting ridge bordered by a loop in the Hocking River. The underlying geology is mostly sandstone and shale, including "redbed" shale that presents a severe slip hazard when structures are built over it on hillsides.
The city receives all its water supply from wells in unconsolidated river aquifers, and is reputed to be the largest city in the United States to do so.
Strouds Run State Park is located just outside the city, bordering the city line. This park features 2,606 acres (11 km²) of wooded hills, including many bluffs and rock shelters, centered around a man-made lake. Camping is available.
The City of Athens has recently established a preserve project, currently including some 210 acres (0.8 km²), to save land from development adjacent to the state park. This preserve includes an 85 acre (340,000 m²) old-growth forest known as "Hawk Woods", or, more formally, the Riddle State Nature Preserve.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 21.6 km² (8.3 mi²). 21.6 km² (8.3 mi²) of it is land and none of the area is covered with water.
Demography
Athens is a college town, with a university-based population slightly over 21,000, of which most are university students. The total permanent population is just over 6,100.
As of the census2 of 2000, there are 21,342 people, 6,271 households, and 1,906 families residing in the city. The population density is 988.0/km² (2,560.4/mi²). There are 6,715 housing units at an average density of 310.9/km² (805.6/mi²). The racial makeup of the city is 89.16% White, 3.82% Black or African American, 0.15% Native American, 4.47% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 0.60% from other races, and 1.74% from two or more races. 1.41% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There are 6,271 households out of which 12.9% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 22.9% are married couples living together, 5.6% have a female householder with no husband present, and 69.6% are non-families. 34.5% of all households are made up of individuals and 6.6% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 2.25 and the average family size is 2.72.
In the city the population is spread out with 6.7% under the age of 18, 66.7% from 18 to 24, 13.7% from 25 to 44, 8.0% from 45 to 64, and 4.9% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 22 years. For every 100 females there are 88.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 86.9 males.
The median income for a household in the city is $17,122, and the median income for a family is $53,391. Males have a median income of $35,849 versus $28,866 for females. The per capita income for the city is $11,061. 51.9% of the population and 14.8% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 19.1% of those under the age of 18 and 7.2% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.
Economy
Ohio University is now the largest employer in Athens County. McBee, a producer of business forms and related materials, is also a significant employer, but will close down in 2005. Coal was once a huge source of employment in the county, but is now a very minor source, as the best and most available coal has been extracted. In 2002, a Wal-Mart opened in Athens amid substantial opposition.
Athens is known for its local food economy, featuring a significant amount of organic produce, sold largely through a farmer's market.
Media
Athens is served by three principal news publications:
The Athens Messenger, a daily paper published by Brown Publishing, which also publishes a weekly entertainment paper named the Athens Insider
The Athens News, a free semi-weekly tabloid published by Bruce Mitchell
The Post, a student newspaper of Ohio University
In addition, Ohio University's telecommunications center provides public radio and television.
The FM radio system covers all of southeastern Ohio.

Benefit dinner offers food, facts, chance to contribute
Published Tuesday, January 18, 2005.
Two
Permias, the Indonesian Student Association and SEASA, the Southeast Asian Studies Association, organized the Aceh Tsunami Relief Benefit Dinner, which was presented in Baker Ballroom in
Adrian Budiman coordinated the event, which sponsored a variety of speakers so those who attended the dinner could learn about the effects of the tsunami through pictures, letters and personal accounts of life in Aceh, located 65 miles from the epicenter. The speakers urged the audience to take a proactive approach in aiding the victims by donating to relief efforts.
The dinner was organized in buffet style with some of the 30-50 volunteers serving traditional Indonesian food. The presentation portion of the night opened with Budiman thanking everyone for coming. The area of Aceh was struck by a force equivalent to 20,000 nuclear bombs, he said. "Every dollar collected will assist in the long healing process," Budiman said. "This tsunami has brought out the worst of nature but the best in humanity." Karen Kray, who spoke for SEASA, said that the fund-raising dinner was good not only because it helped bring much-needed funds to victims in Aceh, but it also brings attention to other areas also devastated by the tsunami. Speaker Teuku Zulfikar said victims need physical and psychological treatment more than money.
OU President Roderick McDavis also spoke of the importance of helping disaster victims.
"It seems we have to have a crisis for the best part of us to come out ... we are all tied together in our bond of humanity," McDavis said. "If we get up and believe we can make a difference, then I believe we can change the world. I believe that we can bring hope to the hopeless." After McDavis spoke, Indonesian children of
Zulfikar went to school in Aceh and explained the aftermath of the tsunami while showing pictures of the area through a PowerPoint presentation.
Zulfikar left the area just days before the tsunami hit. He said some of his professors were among the more than 100,000 killed. The disaster also displaced about 700,000 and orphaned about 70,000. "The people have to start at zero," Zulfikar said.

Student group has close ties to tsunami victims, aids in recovery
Published Thursday, January 6, 2005.
Every day this week, members of the Indonesian Student Association of Ohio University stood in the rain at College Gate to collect donations and answer questions about last week's tsunami, where the death toll is estimated to be 156,000. This is one of several upcoming relief efforts in
According to ISA adviser Don Flournoy, one member was in Aceh when the tsunami hit, though there is no indication the student is in danger. Nurani Dunia, an Indonesian humanitarian organization co-founded in 1999 by OU professor Elizabeth Collins, has distribution capabilities in Aceh, and will be the pipeline for
According to ISA member Adrian Budiman, 100 percent of the money collected for Nurani Dunia will go directly to disaster relief. "All funds we collect, every single penny, (will go) without a middle person," Budiman said. "People here would like to see a tangible outlet where they know their money is going to do the most good, and that's what we're trying to provide for the local community." The College Gate campaigns were successful in the first two days, according to ISA treasurer Ratri Istania. Local faculty members contributed to a check for $3,000 that was sent to Aceh, and before the campaign began on yesterday, students donated an estimated $500. According to Collins, one American dollar can feed five Indonesian families. Student contributions from Monday and Tuesday alone could provide one meal to nearly 3,000 families.
Beyond tonight's dinner and the College Gate campaigns, two more fundraising opportunities occur later this month. At 6 p.m. on Jan. 16, the ISA is hosting a dinner for the Athens Tsunami Disaster Relief Project in the Baker Ballroom, featuring a silent auction with Indonesian handicrafts.

McDavis offers support
Published Thursday, January 6, 2005.
Ohio University President Roderick McDavis said yesterday that he wanted to express his condolences to the thousands of OU students and alumni affected by the tsunami that hit
McDavis said he has not heard of any students or alumni being injured, and he is hopeful that will not change. "This is a tragedy beyond belief," McDavis said. "All of our students, alumni and their families are in our thoughts and prayers."
The Southeast Asian Studies Association is collecting donations at College Gate this week, according to a press release distributed at the meeting. Donations will be given to the Nurani Dunia Foundation, an Indonesian humanitarian organization. A non-denominational service will take place at 12:10 p.m. today in the

McDavis said the International Student and Faculty Services department offers support to any students or faculty who may have been affected by the tragedy. Counseling and Psychological Services representatives will also be available to speak to individuals.
He said he plans to send a personal e-mail to all of the alumni affected and has already contacted OU students to offer support.
At his press conference yesterday, McDavis also discussed: As the Hocking River continues to rise, the university is prepared to take necessary precautions, such as closing the university, to ensure the safety of students and faculty. McDavis said no decisions have been made, but he continues to monitor the situation.
