    Name Pittsburgh Resident Action Comment Patrick Beckhorn

    Name Pittsburgh Action Comment Resident Patrick Beckhorn Yes Remove Columbus was a delusional racist slave owner who caused genocide, so why exalt him by erecting and protecting a large public monument to him? One would only do that if they were ignorant of history. Well, they might do it if they were ignorant of history, but they would also do it if they were a racist piece of shit... Rohit Kartan Yes Remove Emilia Farmerie-Rishel No Remove Ty Hinkle Yes Remove Karsen Shoger Yes Remove The Columbus statue glorifies the history of colonialism, which caused extreme amounts of harm to native peoples in America as well as the environment in America. It is time to let go of these relics that glorify a destructive history, filled with violence and death, as many other cities across America are doing. Keeping the Columbus statue broadcasts a clear message exalting the history of lack of care for humanity of colonists and imperialists. If we want to stand by the ideals of equity and social justice, removing this symbol of inequity and harm from our city. Daniel Galvin Yes Remove The Christopher Columbus statue in Shenley Park should be immediately removed with all expediency - which is why the process of replacement or alternation, and accompanying delays, is unacceptable as well. The fact that it has remained there this long is an embarrassment to Pittsburgh, and an insult to the native people whose land this was for thousands of years. For native people - including friends of mine whose viewpoints I greatly value - this is tantamount to a statue of Hitler in a Jewish neighborhood, or a monument commemorating the cross-Atlantic slave trade being erected in a black neighborhood.

    GeoFacts No. 31 OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES • DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OHIO KARST Karst is a little-known but unique and important landform that can be found throughout the state of Ohio. Regions that contain TOLEDO sinkholes and other solutional features, such as caves, springs, " 1 LAKE ERIE CLEVELAND disappearing streams, and enlarged fractures, are known as " karst terrains. Sinkholes form as bedrock dissolves and surface BELLEVUE materials erode or collapse into the resulting voids. Sinkholes 2" are the main hazard associated with karst landforms in Ohio, and there are thousands of them in the state. Karst features form in carbonate rocks—limestone and dolos- tone—that are soluble in soil acid and carbonic acid (an acid that forms as rain and CO2 mix). Karst may also develop in evaporites including halite (salt) and gypsum. When water drains into it, a BELLEFONTAINE " 3 DELAWARE sinkhole likely will grow over time, since the water carries away 4 " or dissolves material. A stream that is captured by and drains 5 COLUMBUS into a sinkhole is known as a disappearing stream or sinking SPRINGFIELD " stream.

March 2007 As you know, this Fellowship is in the process of constructing a Covenant of Vol. LIV No . 7 Right Relations, otherwise known as a Behavioral Covenant. Alysoun Taylor and Greg Reese are doing an excellent job of facilitating this undertaking and have requested input and participation from any and all members of MVUUF. Some of you may not be so clear on why this is being called a covenant, why we are doing this and why now. A covenant is a bit different from a contract. A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties specifying their mutual obligations. A contract is negotiated, expires, and may be re-negotiated and re-entered…or Martha Hodges abandoned. A covenant, on the other hand, is an exchange of promises that transcends legality and suggests permanence. Details of the covenant can be – and should be – regularly re-examined and amended as needed. It is a living document. But, at the heart of the covenant, unlike the contract, is a commitment to stay in relationship. This is why marriage vows are a covenant and not a contract. As a covenant, they are “not to be entered into lightly.” And as a covenant, marriage vows call on a third “party” as witness and silent participant. This third element is not the minister or the state, but the Sacred, however that is understood by the couple.

    THE ROAD TO NOWHERE: SKETCHES IN SEARCH OF A NOVEL by MATTHEW L. FORSYTHE (Under the Direction of Reginald McKnight) ABSTRACT The Road to Nowhere is a novel about David Kingman, a math teacher from the fictional town of Midfield, Ohio. The plot itself is straightforward: one Friday in October, Dave skips school. He is determined to climb Shuckstack, a mountain in the Smokies that he once hiked with his Grandpa, but his plan devolves, transformed into picaresque encounters with characters that distract, harass, and befriend him along the way. Modeled after a trail guide, the novel‘s structure reflects this fragmentation. The sketches are narrative prose, but they also incorporate maps, photographs, and even mathematics assignments. Many occur on the roads and trails that link Midfield to Shuckstack, while others explore the events from Dave‘s past that forged his peculiar character. The novel is preceded by a critical introduction, ―On Amusement Parks, Maps, and the Perils of Realism: Fragmented Thoughts on a Sketchy Creation,‖ which examines the origin and development of the manuscript. The essay touches on places and people in the author‘s life that have influenced the novel‘s content; it also discusses the project‘s structure and works of literature that provided inspiration. The title of the novel is a reference to an abandoned construction project within Great Smoky Mountains National Park, an incomplete road that suggests a metaphor for Dave‘s quest and his life as a whole. The subtitle is a nod to the fragmented presentation and the ongoing nature of the work.
