Cheryl Koloshinsky said there are areas of her property, across the street from the site of a sinkhole that swallowed a woman last December in Unity, where she can see what appears to be the effect of mine subsidence. “There are areas of the ground that have sunken down a noticeable amount, four or five inches,” she said.

One year after a deadly sinkhole swallowed a woman searching for her cat near Marguerite Road, fear remains palpable for residents in a small Unity neighborhood. They worry abandoned coal mines beneath their homes could collapse at any time.
