  • Chocolay Township History Then And
    n ... I ' J r ' l r ' r ) J l I : J J; J' ' J. On the cover: this photograph was taken on top of the "Rock Cut" on March 6, 2008 at 11 :00 a.m. by Tom Shaw. In response to why this place, Tom answered: "Exercise, fresh air, beauty, quiet time with Him, to step back and look at the big picture and because I can. The best short answer is that I love it. The view brings me back to simpler times." CHOCOLAY TOWNSHIP . .. Just the combination of those two words CHOCOLAY TOWNSHIP brings some vision to your mind. It may be the one on the cover of this booklet or any of the various scenes throughout the other pages. All of them are special to someone, but whatever picture comes to your mind and the fact that you are reading this booklet reinforces that this is a special place for you. As you read this historical writing, I just want to join you in thanking the dozens of people who made it possible. First the township board located a woman, Elizabeth Delene who had the gift for writing and arranging the many contributions that came her way. Elizabeth, thank you for making the time to put these facts in a very readable form! Next on the list of volunteers is Cathy Phelps from the township office. She went above and beyond the call of duty to solicit information and assist Elizabeth in putting together this manuscript. A local committee of Lula Sarka, Elry Reetz, Marilyn Heitman, and Ben Mukkala were ever ready to assist joined together to read the facts, and add comments and reach out for additional information to make this a factual, fascinating piece.

  • Trout Fishing in America
    TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA By RICHARD BRAUTIGAN THE COVER FOR TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA The cover for Trout Fishing in America is a photograph taken late in the afternoon, a photograph of the Benjamin Franklin statue in San Francisco's Washington Square. Born 1706--Died 1790, Benjamin Franklin stands on a pedestal that looks like a house containing stone furniture. He holds some papers in one hand and his hat in the other. Then the statue speaks, saying in marble: PRESENTED BY H. D. COGSWELL TO OUR BOYS AND GIRLS WHO WILL SOON TAKE OUR PLACES AND PASS ON. Around the base of the statue are four words facing the directions of this world, to the east WELCOME, to the west WELCOME, to the north WELCOME, to the south WELCOME. Just behind the statue are three poplar trees, almost leafless except for the top branches. The statue stands in front of the middle tree. All around the grass is wet from the rains of early February. In the background is a tall cypress tree, almost dark like a room. Adlai Stevenson spoke under the tree in 1956, before a crowd of 40, 000 people. There is a tall church across the street from the statue with crosses, steeples, bells and a vast door that looks like a huge mousehole, perhaps from a Tom and Jerry cartoon, and written above the door is "Per L'Universo." Around five o'clock in the afternoon of my cover for Trout Fishing in America, people gather in the park across the street from the church and they are hungry.

  • Making, Preserving, and Redeveloping Public Housing in the United States
    Making, Preserving, and Redeveloping Public Housing in the United States DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Patrick R. Potyondy Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Lilia Fernández Clayton Howard David Staley Copyrighted by Patrick R. Potyondy 2016 Abstract Although a negative reputation still weighs down America’s public housing as a whole, its New Deal incarnation proved to be generally successful. The history of Columbus, Ohio’s first development Poindexter Village illustrates this. Initially, the project’s construction displaced an established neighborhood; it continued the racial segregation already in place. In response, the black residents formed a strong community, in spite of the challenges facing them. All this solidified into a stout base around which contemporary public history activists rallied in an attempt to save the place from destruction. In the end, they could not save the entirety. Nonetheless, they sparked interest in its history from the Near East Side neighborhood and community stakeholders from across the entire city. They show, in short, how much the public remains invested in its history and the history of public housing. Poindexter Village is only one such example of this; it was public housing that worked. From its opening in 1940, it became a bulwark of the black Near East Side, a social anchor institution for the otherwise neglected African-American community. Soon after moving in, they made a strong community based upon shared values, mutuality, and safety.

This Edition of The Pen is dedicated in honor of: Dr. Carl P. Eby Thank you, and “cheers”. Table of Contents: Spring 2013 Written Works Rusalka By: Alyse Bingham “We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown.” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T. S. Eliot, lines 129-31 Rusalka: an elemental creature; a water nymph; a sprite that dwells in a body of water, widely infamous for their song. Caspian Sea, Russia 1836 Duscha rose from the depths of the sea, led by her bond- sister, Lena. Their heads broke the dark surface of the water mere inches away from the bow of a ship, the Otkazatʹsya 1. Lena drew herself up and took hold of the line, the emerald scales on her body glowing a pale silver in the moonlight. She began to ascend, making room for Duscha. When she did not follow right away, Lena looked down, her face obscured by her raven hair. “Are you not coming?” “Are you quite sure this is the ship that took him?” “There is only one ship here. Besides, all humans are filthy savages. Either way, they deserve a much less honorable death than we will give them.” A man’s shout and the sound of leather striking flesh split the still air, followed by a shocked hush.
