BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

In their brothers’ steps Woods, Smith honor former Vikings

Aubrhee Woods, left, and Justin Smith are following in the football footsteps of their brothers, Javonte Woods and Ryan Sawyer. KELLY MCBRIDE/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Two players who will take the football field in Princeton’s first home game of the season Friday share a bittersweet legacy.

Justin Smith, a defensive back, is a transfer from Taft High School. The senior follows in the footsteps of his brother, Ryan Sawyer, who was killed in a car accident in 2009. Aubrhee Woods will wear his brother’s number, and his cleats, when he takes the field against La Salle High School Sept. 7, wearing No. 24.

Both players have created their own spot on the team, but both bear the legacy of their Viking brothers. “I also wear his cleats, in honor of him,”Aubrhee said of Javonte. “This is his stuff I’m wearing, so I have to play better than I’m expected to. “It motivates me.” Justin said memories of his brother motivate him, as well.

He wears his brother’s wristband to remind him of Ryan, but prefers to stay low key otherwise. “When I go home, there are pictures to remind me,” Justin said. Aubrhee remembered both Ryan and Jovante as “good, bright, funny kids.” See BROTHERS, Page A2

Evendale center ‘friendly’ to cycles Queen City Bike makes designation By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com

A new designation could bring more bicyclists to Evendale. Michele Gottschlich, a founder of the Connecting Active Communities Coalition, said the Evendale Recreation Center is now designated as a silver certified bike-friendly destination in the Cincinnati area for 2012-2013 by non-profit organization Queen City Bike, despite the village’s lack of bike lanes and continuous sidewalks. The designation comes as the village is wrapping up phase three of its master bike plan, and will have to present the plan by the end of 2012.

Gottschlich said discussions with its engineering partner, URS Engineering, regarding recommendations were still ongoing. Evendale Councilman and CACC member Stiney Vonderhaar said that after surveying residents about their priorities regarding what would be done with a bike path in Evendale, trails along the Mill Creek was the No. 1 suggestion. Gottschlich said she is hoping to work with Reading and Sharonville on connecting bike trails between the communities as part of the master bike plan for the village, with trails on the Mill Creek in those communities. Funding for those projects would require applying for grants, which attorney Charles Skidmore said he thought apSee CYCLES, Page A2

Evelyn Perkins COMMUNITY PRESS COLUMNIST

According to Webster, to persevere is “to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counter influences, opposition or dis-

couragement.” That is a succinct depiction of Dr. Ana V. Thorne’s journey. Financial distress caused her to drop out of Bennett College more than 45 years ago. Getting a college degree simmered in her soul, and in May she received her PhD in cultural studies from Claremont Graduate University. Her success took many twists and turns during 65 years that would have defeated someone with less grit, but she had a deep well of mettle from which to draw. Paternal grandparents Sam and Ada Turner bravely moved to Glendale from Tennessee in 1925 when there was no guarantee of success. Their son, Thomas, played for the Negro League and endured the vicissitudes of the times. When he married Alicia Prado of Mexico, she spoke very little English and had to assimilate herself to an African-American family and community. Thomas brought her back to Glendale, where Ana was born. Thus began a life of cultural and ethnic balancing. Ana never forget her roots and early life les-

Graduation day for newly gowned Ana V. Thorne, PhD, in academic regalia of cap, hood and Kente Cloth stole befitting her status. EVELYN PERKINS/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS sons. Visits home always included walking through the Valley Homes, taking her son and grandchildren to see St. Monica, Bethany and Eckstein schools, St. Martin DePorres, Kennedy Heights, Woodward High School and to family reunions held in Glendale. She moved back here to get material for her thesis “Framing a Blaxicana Identity…”, a window into her life as a child of two cultures. Astute and pragmatic, Ana searched for her center. Her life is a congress of people, places and experiences that had a deep and penetrating influence. But, how to put them all together? Life presented many

road blocks. Divorced, rearing a son and struggling with her late mother’s health issues, Ana overcame illness, job and home losses, no car and broken car. Ana’s mantra – “I have suffered worse with fewer resources, so I can survive now,” saw her through. She not only survived, she reached the pinnacle of her quest, but does not remember that being her goal; she only wanted to get her bachelor’s degree. Often the burning desire diminished to a flicker, but it never died. Did Sam and Ada envision that one day their progeny would reach the stars? Ana recalls, “Living in

different cities was a strong part of my journey toward gaining new maturity. During the four decades I lived in Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, New York, St. Croix and then Los Angeles in my 30s, I began to raise myself. LA was where I got more in touch with my Mexican roots. After a while, I was able to go back to school.” Her life experiences and mature perspective blew her professors out of the water. “My move to Los Angeles began with one teenage son, one suitcase and a box of books. Now I am returning with nine boxes of books and six rooms of furniture.” She is also returning to teach undergraduate 20th Century British and European Literature and two masters programs – "Graduate Writing Review to New Students” and "Identity Construction in African American Films of the Early 1900s.

Water polo team reloads

Princeton has cohesive unit

By Nick Dududukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com

SHARONVILLE — Chad Packer has coached water polo for18 seasons, and he believes his current Princeton Vikings’ roster is the most cohesive unit he’s ever had for this early in the season. “Really, they are really very team-oriented. We only have 18 guys and that does a lot of good when you’re practicing...everyone is seen as a valuable member of what we’re trying to do,” Packer said. The Vikings’ efforts should be led by a trio of senior captains

who all started off together as freshmen four seasons ago. Those players are Dylan Dykes, Erik Spaul and David Spraul. Juniors D.J. Svensson, Jake Mazzone and Dustin Dykes should also play a key role. Malcom Matthews should be another player who plays a vital role at goalie. He’ll be charged with the task of replacing last year’s goalie, who was named allstate. “Water polo is kind of one of those games where so goes your goalie, so goes the team...and Malcom has stepped up.” Princeton (6-1) played in the Milford Invitational Aug. 25. The squad went 3-0 at the event to extend its winning streak to six games.

In the second game of the invitational, the Vikings rallied late to defeat St. Xavier, 9-8. Dykes scored four goals in the contest, while David Spraul added three more. During the third match against Milford, David Spraul added six more goals while Erik Spraul netted four goals as the Vikings won, 12-4. After the Milford Invitational, Packer said the team re-examined their goals. “I sat these guys down...and said you can do something special that hasn’t been done here since 2005, and that’s making a legit run at qualifying for the state tournament,” Packer said. “It’s measurable and achievable. Its’ a goal we can legitimately realize if

our guys dedicate themselves over the next eight weeks.” For the girls, head coach Jaclyn Jones begins her fourth season at the helm of the Lady Vikings. The squad will feature a mix of returning players, as well as girls new to water polo, according to Jones. Senior attackers Natalie West and Rachel Lemen should carry the load offensively for the squad. They also possess the intangibles to lead in the pool. The two are also captains, along with junior Olivia Sumner, who will be a key defender. Sumner will help protect junior goalie Danni Rust, who See POLO, Page A7

Where there’s Will (Marty) there’s a way Quarterback talks about Cowboys’ season outlook By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING — Based on one game of his junior season, Wyoming High School quarterback Will Marty is on track to pass for 60 touchdowns and literally destroy all Cincinnati Hills League passing records. Of course, keeping that pace is another issue and the Cowboys have many worthy opponents looking to gun them down. However, Marty’s opening numbers in Wyoming’s heartbreaking overtime loss to Fenwick has all eyes on the “Pendery Passer.” Marty recently talked to the Tri-County Press about his 307 yards passing and six touchdowns, plus his season outlook. Q: Does throwing for six touchdowns give you great confidence? A: We’re going to take away the good things from the games. There’s definitely things we’ve got to work on. Q: Will your early non-conference games help as you start the CHL slate? A: Fenwick was a great team. I’m sure they’re going to have a great year. Turpin’s had great records the past couple years. To be the best, you’ve got to play the best. Q: You’re not known as a

runner but you had 84 yards against Fenwick. You almost scored. What happened? A: That was a broken down passing play. I guess we had the defense on their heels a little bit. I’ll take what I can get. It was fun. I got stopped on the oneyard line. I wish I could’ve put that in. Q: You’ve got a good running back in Terrell Dailey. How will he help you this season? A: Terrell’s got some of the quickest feet I’ve ever seen. He’s so shifty. He’s great to have on our offense. It mixes up the

play calls and it’s a lot of fun watching him run the ball. Q: Do you have a favorite receiver? A: All of my receivers do their own little thing very well. (Ben) Kurtz has got great hands; Bilal (Dawson) has that breakaway speed; Dom (Vamosi) can catch the ball in the open field and take it forever; and Dawson (Rogers) is all-around solid. It’s just fun to throw to all of them. Q: How do you see the CHL with the Cowboys and Madeira losing in week one? A: Madeira’s just like us. Their game didn’t turned out the way they planned. I’m sure they’re working hard in practice. I’m sure they’ll be watching us and the CHL’s wide open this year. Q: How are you related to the kicker? A: That’s my cousin Tucker. It’s fun to see how far he’s come. I think he’s the hardest worker on this football team. I think everyone will agree with that. Q: Your brother, Sam Marty, is a freshman on the golf team. Can you hang with him? A: I’ll go out there on the golf course every now and then and try to beat him, but he usually ends up on top. Q: You also pitch on the See MARTY, Page A7

Legends of Cincinnati Golf honors trio of stars

Three of Greater Cincinnati’s top amateur golfers earned enshrinement as Legends of Cincinnati Golf Aug. 20 at Hyde Park Golf and Country Club. Founded in 1982, the Legends celebrated its 30th year with its 28th class of honorees including Bernice Gallagher of Anderson Township, Wyoming High School graduate Lou Moore of Mt. Adams and Bob Schultz of Crestview Hills. Channel 9 sports anchor Denny Janson served as emcee for the program. The day included a golf tournament at Hyde Park; Jim Volpenhein of Northern Kentucky won the overall men’s division while Janie Klare of Anderson Township won the women’s division. Bernice Gallagher

joined her husband, Denny (a 2000 Legends honoree) to become only the second set of spouses to be enshrined. “I’m very grateful for this recognition,” she said. “I feel it is important for all of us to continue to honor the game that has given us so much.” Lou Moore no longer plays competitively but put together a career in which he won the Cincinnati Met (1980) and was runner-up twice, among other achievements. “I’ve enjoyed a lot of honors and victories in my life, but none of them can equal this,” he said. “Suffice it to say my life is richer for what golf has given to me.” Bob Schultz continues to shoot his age – including

Meet a president for the people

In the media heat of the campaign, maintaining perspective on the whole picture is sometimes difficult. Out of the heat, let's look at the president's accomplishments to date. On the domestic front, one of the president's first acts was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which clarifies the laws against pay discrimination based on race, gender, religion, age, disability and national origin. He signed into law the Affordable Care Act expanding health coverage to millions and offering new protections to everyone, especially women and children. The president's auto bailout saved the American auto industry and millions of jobs dependent on it. General Motors and Chrysler have recovered and

reimbursed the government. GM is once again the No. 1 auto manufacturer. In response to the banking crisis he inherited, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act creating much needed financial sector regulations and a new consumer watchdog. His foreign and defense policies have been highly successful. His administration negotiated tough sanctions on Iran and strengthened relations with America's allies in Europe and China's periphery. His approach to Libya produced a rare instance of effective burden sharing. And, support and protection of Israel remains a cornerstone. President Obama inherited three wars. He engineered a military withdrawal from Iraq

Noow is not time to raise taxes The chairman of the Federal Reserve tells Congress that reducing unemployment in the United States is “frustratingly slow.” We already knew that. The national unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for more than three years. Unfortunately, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke also says the economic recovery – as weak as it has been – appears to be losing steam. Now is not the time to raise taxes on anybody. That’s exactly what President Obama is prescribing for our ailing economy. Tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 are set to expire at the end of this year. If Congress fails to act, tax rates would revert to their pre-cut levels. The net effect would be a $4.3 trillion tax increase over the next decade. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that such a tax increase would shock the economy and push the United States back into a “shallow recession.” These looming tax increases, along with the pending budget cuts called for under the Budget Control Act, constitute the “fiscal cliff” that has economists wringing their hands. The right thing to do would be to extend all the tax cuts and let the economy stabilize. The president wants to pick winners and losers. He wants some people’s taxes to increase and others’ to go down. Recently, the accounting firm Ernst & Young ran the numbers on his plan. It found that the long-term effect of

increasing taxes would be to siphon $200 billion out of the economy – and cost 710,000 jobs. It also found Jean Schmidt that, in the COMMUNITY PRESS long run, capGUEST COLUMNIST ital stock and investment would decline and “real aftertax wages would fall by 1.8 percent, reflecting a decline in workers’ living standards relative to what would have occurred otherwise.” Far from forcing the rich to “pay their fair share,” the president’s plan would actually increase taxes on job creators and small businesses. Many of them operate as “pass-through entities” whose taxes are counted as the owners’ personal income. According to the Ernst & Young report, “these businesses employ 54 percent of the private sector work force and pay 44 percent of federal business income taxes.” Additionally, “more than 20 million workers are employed by (pass-through) businesses with more than 100 employees.” The fact is that increasing taxes on small businesses isn’t going to increase employment or grow the economy. We need to push the economy forward, not shock it back into a shallow recession. Jean Schmidt is the U.S. Representative in Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District. Her local office number is 513-791-0381.

phased so as not to surrender hard-won gains. He has devised a reasonable timetable for ending the decade-long Richard war in AfghanSchwab COMMUNITY PRESS istan in a manner that safeGUEST COLUMNIST guards our long-term interests. And, in the war on terror, President Obama has proceeded with focus and guts. The bold mission that killed Osama bin Laden, drone attacks in Pakistan and Yemen have decimated al Qaeda's leadership. While the terrorist network continues to pose a threat, its leaders are on the defensive and in decline as a result of Presi-

dent Obama's policies. On the economy, an accurate assessment requires context. Economists note that financial collapses differ from cyclical downturns. Growth and household incomes are slower to recover, while unemployment, deficits and public debt are higher. And, these effects persist for years. The president averted an all-out melt down of the American and global financial system, and the onset of a second great depression. A majority of American economists and the non partisan Congressional Budget Office concur the President's intervention and policies helped to stem job losses at a crucial moment in the downturn. Just in the month President Obama was sworn into office,

the American economy lost 839,000 jobs. Under President Obama's leadership, in the last 29 consecutive months, the private sector has created 4.5 million jobs. I have only highlighted a few of President Obama's first term accomplishments. They are extensive (I worked from a list of 100) and portend to a powerful and productive second term. This is a make or break election for the middle class. In a second term, President Obama will continue to build an economy that works for everyone. In a second term, you know you can trust him to put the interests of the many above the few. Richard O. Schwab is founder of Glendale Organizing For America Community Team.

“Yes, I am. Not only for me, but for all my family and friends. “Unfortunately, it seems to me precautionary measures are difficult to implement for so many reasons. We can’t go outside in suits like beekeepers use, and we can’t control what neighbors and nature do with regard to standing water which encourages mosquito proliferation.

Idling harmful to wallet, health Just two seconds and a turn of the wrist is all it takes to turn off your car engine and be idle free. Idling is harmful to your car, wallet, health, and our air. Many people idle their car to warm up the engine, however, as vehicles are made of many moving parts, to effectively warm up your vehicle simply drive off slowly. This will warm your transmission, tires, suspension, steering and wheel bearings more effectively. Some believe idling uses less fuel than restarting the engine. However, 30 seconds of idling uses more fuel than turning the engine off and then restarting it. If you are stopped for more than 30 seconds, except in traffic, turn off your engine. With gas prices soaring, everyone is trying to get the best mileage. An idling car is the most inefficient car – it gets 0 miles per gallon.

Each gallon of gas used produces 19 pounds of carbon dioxide, a contributor to greenhouse gas Megan emissions. The Hummel air pollution released COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST COLUMNIST through idling is found inside vehicles as well as outside. Volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide can cause respiratory infections and cancer. Exposure to these pollutants can be found in a line-up of idling vehicles, such as at a school pick up location or drivethrough. Children’s health is particularly at risk as they breathe faster and inhale more air per pound of body weight compared to adults.

So turn your engine off, breathe better and save money. The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency works with government agencies, businesses, communities and citizens to achieve and maintain healthy air quality for Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties in Southwest Ohio. The Agency is a division of the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services (HCDOES) which also encompasses the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District.

Farm’s program cultivates grasp of food, work for kids By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com

After receiving a grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, Gorman Heritage Farm, 10052 Reading Road in Evendale, turned volunteer duties into a summer farm mini-camp for kids. Volunteer coordinator Mare Warner said she has seen significant interest from the program’s 13- to 17-year-olds in understanding the connection to the food they eat and where it comes from. Instead of using volunteers for gardening and animal care tasks, teens now fulfill them. Beginning June 9, more than a dozen teens began work on the

farm cleaning animals’ stalls, taking them for a walk, weeding the garden and picking vegetables. Volunteers would then do a science or nature activity, such as a hike, Warner said. She added that the intent of the program was to make it more educational, rather than strictly volunteering. In an age range that is too old for summer camp but almost too young for a job, the program provided not only an educational experience on the farm, but also a sense of work, said Vicki Foster, marketing and events manager for the farm. “It’s more than camp or coming in for a visit,” she said. “... It keeps (kids) active and gives them a real understanding of

farming. It teaches them the importance of working. Maybe not developing specific jobs skills, but ethic.” The summer-long program wrapped up Aug. 10, but Warner said she hopes to receive another grant next year to open it again. This year’s grant covered the cost of volunteers, making the program free to them. “There’s a lot of interest (in kids) wanting to have exposure to animals and learning about farms. They don’t have that experience anymore” she said. “They’re missing a link from where food comes from and kids wanted to experience that.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Evendale.

Serving snacks that won’t fill kids up The kids are back in school and when they get home, they’re usually hungry. But you don’t want to feed them so much that they have no appetite for dinner. Here are Rita some reciHeikenfeld pes to make RITA’S KITCHEN ahead of time for healthy snacking. Check out tips for packing safe lunches, as well on my blog Cooking with Rita at Cincinnati.com. I have to chuckle when I give advice on how to pack safe lunches since all during our school years, we packed lunches without ice packs or thermoses and, yes, used paper bags to tote them. Mom used to pack us fried kibbi sandwiches, and they smelled so good that all the kids wanted to know what they were. I was embarrassed to say what they really were so I would tell them they were Lebanese ham-

burgers. Today a sandwich like that would be considered very cool! We never got sick either, but as I always say, now that we’re more aware of food spoilage, better safe than sorry.

Pineapple popsicles 3 cups fresh pineapple chunks or 1 14.5 oz. can chunks packed in juice, not syrup, drained 1 ⁄3 cup 2 percent milk A few tablespoons sugar or honey if it needs sweetened (start with 3 tablespoons and go from there)

Process all ingredients in batches in a food processor or blender until as smooth as you like. Pour into molds or cups with wooden sticks inserted, if necessary. Freeze several hours. Makes 8.

Frozen grape skewers

We used to pick grapes from a local vineyard. After making grape juice and jelly, I always had enough left over to make

these, which were a favorite of my boys. Use a flat head toothpick and skewer 3-4 grapes on each one. Freeze hard uncovered and then put into freezer containers. Let the kids eat these right out of the freezer.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

Fresh pineapple helps keeps bones strong. Pineapple also improves digestion and even helps relieve cold symptoms with its high vitamin C content. Pineapple juice is soothing to a sore throat. Grapes, especially if they’re red, contain powerful anti-oxidants.

It’s all the rage now. Chunky granola is in. Here’s how to make it. ⁄3 cup maple syrup ⁄3 cup packed brown sugar (I used dark) 1 tablespoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon almond extract ¼ cup soybean or canola oil 1

You can add chia or flax seeds to up the Omega 3 content of Rita’s chunky granola. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 2 cups sliced almonds or your favorite combination of nuts About 2 cups dried fruit (optional)

You leave church on Saturday feeling great and still have a day left on the weekend.

You can go to Sunday morning soccer games with the kids.

You never have a hangover at 5:30pm on Saturday.

If you don’t like it, there’s still time to go to another church on Sunday morning.

Your kids can go to “Sunday School” on Saturday.

You can still go out to dinner and a movie after. (and did we mention you get to sleep in?)

God really loves you. We know He loves you on Saturdays, too.

If you’re not sure what you think of God ... or have been away from church for a while ...or just interested in exploring what Jesus is about, then come and check things out. In an auditorium that seats 2,400 people, you can ﬁnd a few empty chairs to surround yourself, kick back in the low lighting, drink a free coffee and relax. Who knows what you might discover? Yeah, we have Sunday morning times too at 9, 10:30 & 11:59am, but maybe Saturday at 5:30pm ﬁts you better.

Israeli choir wows Cincinnati The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati and the local Jewish community are proud to have hosted the Israeli Ankor Choir for the 2012 World Choir Games. The choir’s visit was the result of months of planning. During a trip back to Israel, Community Shaliach (emissary from Israel) Yair Cohen personally auditioned several choirs to select the one that would best represent the Jewish State. The Ankor Choir – made up of 25 female students at the Jerusalem Academy High School of Music and Dance – was his clear choice. This choir is best known for its partnership with Yad VaShem, Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Museum. They participate in the annual Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance) ceremony and perform for each foreign head of state who visits Israel, including President Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II. Jewish Federation of Cincinnati staff spent the next months working with other community organi-

Israel's Ankor Choir performs at a World Choir Games Friendship Concert at the Mayerson JCC July 9. THANKS TO RENE MICHEO zations to plan the choir’s tour. They understood the importance of showcasing the choir to the widest range possible of Jewish and non-Jewish audiences and also of giving the young women in the choir a good picture of Jewish life in Cincinnati. Cohen said, “These young women not only had a life-changing experience thanks to our community, but also learned much about the strong connection of Cincinnati to Israel and what that means. They are going back home to Israel with a

better understanding of American Jewry, which is just as important as winning gold medals.” The staff also recruited community members to volunteer as hosts, escorting the choir to their various destinations in the city and, basically, serving as concierges. The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati is proud of these volunteers – and of Cincinnatians in general – for the warm welcome they offered our visitors. Ankor Choir Director Dafna Ben-Yohanan agreed.

“I’ve never seen so much friendliness and warmth. Every venue we went to, everybody was smiling, happy and welcoming. I thought maybe the mayor of Cincinnati gave out happy pills before we came.” The Ankor Choir competed in two categories at the World Choir Games: Youth Choirs of Equal Voices, where they won a gold medal, and Musica Sacra, where they won silver. They also sang at Rockdale Temple for JCC campers and seniors, at Wise Temple, at Heritage

Baptist Church in Lebanon and at Cedar Village. Cedar Village Rabbi Gerry Walter said, “The young ladies sang their hearts out and spent wonderful time visiting with our elders as well. It was one of the finest things that ever occurred at Cedar Village.” The choir also visited some of the landmarks of Jewish Cincinnati–Hebrew Union College and the American Jewish Archives, the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education and UC Hillel. Most notably, they sang to a packed house as part of a Friendship Concert in the JCC’s Amberley Room, along with choirs from the United States and Poland. The Cincinnati Enquirer’s Janelle Gelfand named the Friendship Concert at the JCC one of her favorite moments of the World Choir Games, “The connection with Israel’s Ankor Choir was palpable. When they sang ‘Jerusalem of Gold’ and ‘Hatikvah,’ Israel’s national anthem, some in the capacity crowd of 700 were moved to tears.”

Civil War series concludes Heritage Village Museum will host the last of its Free Civil War Program series with “Defending the Union: Lew Wallace.” At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, historian Ray E. Boomhower of the Indiana Historical Society will present a lecture on Lew Wallace, citizen soldier. Wallace rose to the position of commander of the Eleventh Volunteer Regiment, where he was successful against Confederate forces. He was promoted to major general, but after a poor performance at the Battle of Shiloh Wallace fell from prominence. Boomhower will map out Wallace’s career of highs and lows in the Union Army. The evening program is free to the public and no reservations are required. Heritage Village Museum is within Sharon Woods Park. A Hamilton County Park pass may be required. For any questions please call (513) 563-9484.
