Loveland resident Connor Thomas earns Gold Star Recognition at The Citadel Freshman Cadet Connor Thomas ended his first year at The Citadel with Gold Star Recognition. This honor goes to a cadet with a 3.70 GPA in a given semester and automatically places the cadet on the Dean's List. Cadet Thomas earned Dean's List honors first semester and was truly motivated to get those stars on his uniform after second semester. Gold Star Recognition remains, provided a cadet maintains the standards. Cadet Thomas is prepping in the school of political science, with an eye on Government & International Affairs and since he was credited with twentytwo AP credits Connor will likely add a

second major in U.S. History. Cadet Thomas is an Army ROTC National Scholarship winner and will begin his military service with the Army after several more years of advanced drill and study. The Citadel Military College of South Carolina is most popularly referred to as the Citadel and is an imposing institution that only the most motivated and brightest students navigate through graduation. Majestic white buildings, reminiscent of castles, surround an open square with a red and white checked floor; this is where the cadets line up before dress parades and other special events. The battalions are wide-

ly considered the most beautiful in service academies and schools of military science. The South Carolina Corps of Cadets numbers 2,350 and is the second largest military university in the US. Citadel Cadets and alumni have served in every United States military action from the Mexican War to the current Global War on Terrorism. 2018 is the 175th consecutive annual year for the celebration of the storied military college of the south. Thomas, the CEO of The My GI Foundation www.mygivets.com will be doing an internship with the Cincinnati Chapter of the NABVETS. Laura Walls

The Wurst Bar in Mount Lookout has closed. Its space on Linwood Avenue may be vacant for a few months, but then a new gastropub will replace it. New owner Trevor Snowden is still deliberating on the name. The plan is a casual neighborhood bar with good food and lots of craft beer and cocktails. He also is renting the vacant space next door, formerly a bookstore, but will start with just the Wurst Bar space. Bronson Trebbi, who owns Walt’s Hitching Post in Fort Wright, owns both buildings and had owned Wurst Bar. Snowden is a veteran of the Thunderdome Group, owners of Bakersfield, The Eagle, Krueger’s and Maplewood. He’s been with them since they opened Bakersfield on Vine Street in Over-theRhine, and opened many of their restaurants out of town. “I learned so much about the business from those guys. When I knew I wanted to do something on my own, I knew I had the experience to do it,” Snowden said. He said he’s pleased that his father, Brian Snowden, wanted to go into business with him as a partner. “We’re going to really step up the food, grind our own meat for burgers, do lots of good sides and salads. But we hope people will feel free to just come in for a drink, too,” he said. He hopes to open in July.
