In 1975 he went to work for the U.S. Bureau of Mines at the Bruceton Research Lab in South Park Township as a research engineer. For the first 10 years he worked in the Methane Control Group, on research into ways of producing natural gas from coalbeds. In the mid-1980’s he was transferred to ground control research where he worked until his retirement in 2011. He has been senior author of over 13 research papers and co-author on more than 15 papers. He has had extensive underground experience, conducting research in over 45 underground coal mines and 13 stone mines. In 2001 David began volunteering with the Montour Trail Council.

Title: Speaking of South Park Author: Christina Slade Response to this paper by: Susan Drake (c)2000 Christina Slade South Park is, at first blush, an unlikely vehicle for the teaching of argumentation and of reasoning skills. Yet the cool of the program, and its ability to tap into the concerns of youth, make it an obvious site. This paper analyses the argumentation of one of the programs which deals with genetic engineering. Entitled 'An Elephant makes love to a Pig', the episode begins with the elephant being presented to the school bus driver as 'the new disabled kid'; and opens a debate on the virtues of genetic engineering with the teacher saying: 'We could have avoided terrible mistakes, like German people'. The show both offends and ridicules received moral values. However a fine grained analysis of the transcript of 'An Elephant makes love to a Pig' shows how superficially absurd situations conceal sophisticated argumentation strategies.

PC Is Back in South Park: Framing Social Issues Through Satire
Colloquy Vol. 12, Fall 2016, pp. 101-114 PC Is Back in South Park: Framing Social Issues through Satire Alex Dejean Abstract This study takes an extensive look at the television program South Park episode “Stunning and Brave.” There is limited research that explores the use of satire to create social discourse on concepts related to political correctness. I use framing theory as a primary variable to understand the messages “Stunning and Brave” attempts to convey. Framing theory originated from the theory of agenda setting. Agenda setting explains how media depictions affect how people think about the world. Framing is an aspect of agenda setting that details the organization and structure of a narrative or story. Framing is such an important variable to agenda setting that research on framing has become its own field of study. Existing literature of framing theory, comedy, and television has shown how audiences perceive issues once they have been exposed to media messages. The purpose of this research will review relevant literature explored in this area to examine satirical criticism on the social issue of political correctness. It seems almost unnecessary to point out the effect media has on us every day. Media is a broad term for the collective entities and structures through which messages are created and transmitted to an audience. As noted by Semmel (1983), “Almost everyone agrees that the mass media shape the world around us” (p. 718). The media tells us what life is or what we need for a better life. We have been bombarded with messages about what is better.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS at WORK Our Fellow
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK Our Fellow Township Residents: The primary responsibility of the members of the Board of Supervisors is the financial oversight of South Park Township. Although economic conditions have been challenging at times, we have been successful in maintaining the Township tax rate at 3.062 mills for 2017 without reducing services. South Park Township raised property taxes in 1998, and has continually lowered the millage to the current rate of 3.062.A balanced budget in the amount of $7,240,100 was adopted in December. Township officials realize that tax dollars are limited and every attempt is made to efficiently allocate funding over many areas to meet the diverse needs of our residents.Annual operating expenses include an Administrative staff, Public Works Department, Police Department, Recreation Department and Library. The following is a recap of 2016 activities and plans for 2017: - The annual road repaving program was completed with an expenditure of $425,000. The expenditure for the 2017 Road Repaving Program has been increased to $600,000. Streets under the ownership and control of South Park Township are repaved based upon a long range, 20-year maintenance plan. Residents are reminded that South Park Township cannot control the condition/maintenance of streets owned by Allegheny County or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. - The 2016 Township-Wide Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project was undertaken and completed at a cost of $325,000. The 2017 program is budgeted at approximately the same amount. South Park Township is required by DEP to maintain and upgrade the Township’s sanitary sewer system in areas that are deficient.

ALLEGHENY COUNTY PARKS ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AND ACTION PLAN SOUTH PARK Prepared for the Allegheny County Parks Foundation March, 2017 FOREWORD With nine parks encompassing over 12,000 acres, Allegheny County boasts one of the Board of Directors largest regional park systems in the country.

The Theology of South Park As Much As They Hate Each Other, the One Thing That Osama Bin Laden and George W
The Theology of South Park As much as they hate each other, the one thing that Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush have in common is a theological understanding of a world being divided between the forces of good and evil with each believing he is clearly on the side of good. President Bush sees himself as most strongly influenced by Jesus Christ, a compassionate conservative who responds to what he sees as a completely unprovoked attack with a mixture of care packages and bombs. Bin Laden, who considers himself one of the true followers of Mohammed, believes that he is clearly on a mission to cleanse the infidels who have disrespected sacred monuments, supported oppressive governments, and kept his people in extreme poverty. Neither they nor their followers can see any shades of gray. You're either for us or against us; for freedom or tyranny; with the infidels or the pious. And both lay a strong claim of having God's blessings. This, of course, is not a new rhetorical strategy; throughout time, many countries have tried to legitimize their interests by calling forth God as a sponsor. Voltaire calls this practice into question throughout Candide as does Mark Twain in his short story, "The War Prayer." The absurdity of believing too fully in a system that draws clear lines between good and evil was also evident to Eugene Ionesco when, during the second world war, he witnessed the consequences of a blind faith in fascism, a system that fully aligned itself with God's blessing and thus did not allow for uncertainty, shades of gray, or a sense of humor.

Boondocks Vs. South Park
Satire, Race, and Modern Cartoons: Boondocks vs. South Park Stanford University Communication Department June 4, 2011 Melanie J Murphy Satire is primarily seen in literary form where irony, sarcasm and ridicule are used in order to expose, or denounce vice or folly with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. In addition to satire as a literary genre, we have seen an increase in the use of satire in American television as well. Popular cartoons such as the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and the Boondocks are known to have created controversy through episodes that feature satire on political, social, and racial issues. While all four of these cartoons have satirical content, the Boondocks and South Park dedicate the majority of their satire each episode toward one main issue. It would be interesting to see if (1) there are racial differences between how whites and blacks view both shows and (2) if the satire featured in these two shows actually exposes society’s foolishness, possibly leading to improvement. It is our hypothesis that through social identification theory, groups will be made through the similarity of race (Tajfel, 1982). This will allow for those who identify with either race, to feel more positively toward the show of their own race. Comedy Central’s South Park is a satirical, animated show, made for mature audiences created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Although the show is thought by some to be incredibly offensive, the creators explain that there is an underlying moral lesson. The show follows four characters that live in the fictional predominantly white town of South Park, Colorado.

Using South Park to Teach Public Choice
The Journal of Private Enterprise 30(3), 2015, 103–108 EDUCATIONAL NOTE Did You Say That Voting Is Ridiculous? Using South Park to Teach Public Choice Adam J. Hoffer University of Wisconsin, La Crosse George R. Crowley Troy University ______________________________________________________ Abstract We describe an approach to teaching public choice perspectives on voting using an episode from Comedy Central’s animated television show, South Park. The episode depicts the events surrounding a vote for a new school mascot and demonstrates the near-zero value of an individual vote, the value individuals place on the act of voting itself, the problems that arise when voters must choose among undesirable candidates, and the role of political campaigning. The episode mirrors the public’s perception of major-party candidates in most elections. ______________________________________________________ JEL Codes: A22, D72 Keywords: South Park, voting, elections, teaching public choice I. Introduction Recent economics education literature has advocated moving away from the pure lecture style of classroom instruction. Scholars have suggested the incorporation of movie clips (Mateer and Li 2008; Mateer and Stephenson 2011), video clips (Diamond 2009), comic strips (Lawson 2006), podcasts (Hall 2012), and academic entrepreneurship from student presentations (Hoffer 2013). Hall (2005), Holian (2011), and Ghent, Grant, and Lesica (2011) recommend the use of television clips, describing economics in The Simpsons, The Drew Carey Show, and Seinfeld, respectively. We describe a similar methodology using the television show South Park, with a particular focus on the use of a 2004 episode to illustrate key concepts in public choice. Compared with programs discussed in the The authors thank the editor and anonymous reviewers for helpful comments.
