otto agitated for the creation of a national park here, but the creation of a national park requires an act of congress, and so it's much more difficult to do. the national monument can be established by a presidential proclamation, and so although john otto wanted a national park it was much easier to establish a national monument and that's what happened when president taft proclaimed the area in 1911 the other distinction is resource based and generally the national monument is set aside in recognition of one spectacular feature. in this case, the erosional qualities of the monument. the national park is like multiple national monuments all thrown together. so, for example, yellowstone which was the first national park has its wild life values and has a mountain range running through it and it has a high elevation lake and it has the thermal features and so on and that's generally what sets parks apart from monuments and there are -- it's a fuzzy boundary between them and there are areas that are national parks and that probably should be more monuments and vice versa. otto's earl

that's her virginia park home which is in the virginia park neighborhood. the neighborhood where the 1967 rebellion occurred. it's in the same community. not far from the baptist church. i just want us to understand that the way history is presented in the popular media just as dr. mcguire said about rosa parks, the same thing goes on about these historic sites, including her home. you've seen an article about her home was taken from detroit and is now going through europe, that is not really her home. that's all i wanted to say. i'm going to introduce our next presenter which will be kalonji walton and i'll let him introduce his topic. >> thank you, everyone, that is joining us and my topic is briefly the dean congressman john conyers from the congressional black caucus to hr-40 which is known as the reparations investigate commission, for lack of a better way to put it. there's a lot of mix up that it was a bill for reparations. it was a bill to study the potential of reparations, the nuances of reparations, who would qualify, and those types of things. s

park and opening it, we need to consider parking space. i've been attending a variety of events and going to different locations in the park. that garage is one of the worst places in my opinion. it's extremely dark. the door is not accessible. the one going in the park. i think that we need to kind of go back the original plan of opening the park and what parking space looks like initially -- i use my bike. we need to go back to what the parking was before having accessible parking places and availability to all of the public. >> co-chair pelzman: thank you. >> i want to remind me who will be needing interpreters that our interpreters will be -- our service will be ending at 4:30. i want to give a heads up to everybody about that. do we have any other questions from the council? >> co-chair madrid: [indiscernib le] >> co-chair pelzman: we're going to go into the next presentation. >> co-chair madrid: i have a question for you.

and that rosa parks, that rosa parks will interest young people and old people, and everyone in between from now until the end of time. thank. >> i thank you doctor maguire. just real quick about some recent news about rosa parks, it's that the home she lived in for a short period time is now in spain, it was a journey for a little while. i want us to move away, just as doctor mcguire said, we need to move away from her sitting on the bus and move into the more radical politics. move away from that home that she lived in for a very short period of time. it was really her brother's home. i moved to the house that she was living in when she was involved in all of this radical politics. i am part of the state committee that is going to make that a historic site. so that's her virginia park home, which is in the virginia partner boyhood. a neighborhood where the 1967 rebellion occurred. it's a community, where black madonna is, not far from a baptist church where they had their meetings. i'm not gonna preempt the other speakers, so i'm gonna stop talking about this. but i just wanted to und

what i always like to say about the national park service is, when you say national park service, you imagine the entire service is always on board with everything that a park is doing. the national park service is like a navy where every park is its own ship and today do things kind of their own way -- and they do things their own way. they wear the same uniforms, but they are not all on board with doing the same type of interpretation. to brings are easier along then other parks. it has to do with who is in charge of the park, the superintendent, the chief of interpretation. there was always a feeling i encountered with park service among some people that the only thing we should talk about on the civil war battlefields is about the soldiers, the battle, the fighting that occurred there. let's leave it to academics in classrooms to talk about why they were fighting, what the fighting meant. gradually that begin to change. we siding gettysburg. -- we saw it in the gettysburg. it was ridiculous to do the programs we did and visitors would walk away not understanding what any of it mea

offshore wind parks council apply enough electricity. how could germany meet all its energy needs with renewables? and with the right solution is a mix of renewal sources. gas will play a key role and hydro power a limited wind. solar power has massive potential, and that can be part of the mix. but the driving force will be onshore and offshore wind energy. off germany already gets more than half of its electricity from renewable sources. it wants to hit almost 100 percent renewables by 2038. scientists have calculated what the energy mix, what looked like them. at 300 terawatt powers onshore, wind parks, what to deliver more energy than offshore ones. but why is wind farms like this will deliver the most at electricity? the systems that are being built today are much more powerful. with the $30000.00 wind turbines, we already have in germany will be able to produce 3 times as much electricity. so after show wind parks won't be enough. what's needed is an energy mix. and that will change germany's landscape brain bigger and more modern

company parks across europe. and solar systems are important, but they won't cover our energy needs on their own. you have to set priorities 1st, you have to figure out which roofs are technically suitable. and then you have to figure out which ones of those are financially viable. solar energy is expected to see significant growth in germany. by the time the last coal fired power station is switched off and 2030 years, there would have to be 5 times as many rooftop solar systems around parks as there are now to cover energy needs. solar energy would then account for a quarter of the country's power. i would post the number of orders for new solar parks is growing fast. what's behind the boom? in the last decade, solar modules have decreased in price to around a 10th of what they were originally. we can now produce electricity in germany for $4.00 to $0.06 per kilowatt hour. you can't do that in a coal fired plant or nuclear power station, even after the initial investment has been paid off. back to germany becau

whole foods has its own dedicated parking lot, called lot c, with 117 parking spaces.interior loading space is about 3,500 square feet within that dock, a large space that allows for efficient unloading of trucks. as would be expected, whole foods uses best practices and exceeding management. moving on, i'd like to briefly discuss some of the reasons why whole foods would be a great addition to the neighborhood. first, the project would generalate $9.6 million in union labor. -- generate $9.6 million in union labor. next, it will create 250 new cases. 75% of whole foods employees are full time, and 62% identify as nonwhite. it will hold local recruitment events in a community workshop. >> supervisor peskin: mr. president, i don't want to interrupt, but are these ceqa issues? >> president yee: what he's doing is he's doing his presentation, if it's not relevant, we'll know about it. >> supervisor peskin: got it. sorry. sorry. >> great. well, i will move on, then, to the coalition of supporters, some of whom you heard from earlier. pardon them for being excited to voice

i am a seasonal park ranger here at the canal. i think that we are going to cast off here shortly, but we're going to go ahead and start. a brief history on the canal. it definitely doesn't go all the way up to the ohio river. we wanted to connect the eastern shore which with what was considered the west, ohio, pennsylvania, that area. we wanted to connected to the bay, so we did was we stern building the canal. we started earlier with a george washington dream to use the river, back then it was seen as a reasonable thing to do so we went ahead and had a canal system built on that side by using left to get around the great falls and river. although it wasn't very reliable usage. it didn't have long time use. it was kind of broken. that were very well. we went to head and took his, dream built a canal right next to the river so we could use that water source but have something that is more controlled and reliable, compared to the potomac river, because you took a boat over the falls, he probably wouldn't last very long. so we took

we found it when we took over the park, the national park service. it's made out of cast iron. it's about ten to 15 pounds, and it's pretty heavy. key this is what our lock keepers would carry around all day. i will stop talking because it's hard to yell over the rushing water. this part right here, is the slowest part, because the water is actually almost equaling out. it is not rushing in, like you saw when we first open those locked doors. it takes a bit longer for that water to finally equal out. and once everything has equaled out, we also have to open up those gates, and make sure that everything is on the boat, and that's when we start moving. you would have lock keepers that would do that, especially with the wicket doors. they would open up the wickets and open up the doors. our lock keepers are always in charge of that. they would live, in lock houses. sort of like the one that is right here to my right and the only difference about. this lock house, this is a special one because it was the only hotel that was here on the canal. so the middle section of the great fall
