OHIOANA BOOK CLUB

Ohioana Book Club meets at the Ohioana Library Association in the State Library of Ohio. Jim Kimnach serves as facilitator and liaison through the Lifelong Learning Institute at COTC, and is pleased to announce the following selections for reading and discussion: August 16, 10 a.m. The Invisible Soldiers: How America Outsourced our Security by Ann HagedornThirty years ago, before there were private

military and security companies (PMSCs), there were mercenaries. Now, the PMSCs are a bona-fide industry; an indispensable part of American foreign and military policy. PMSCs assist U.S. forces in combat operations and replace

them after the military withdraws from combat zones; they guard embassies; play key roles in U.S. counter-terrorism strategies; and Homeland Security depends on them. Their services include maritime security, police training, drone operations, cyber security, and

intelligence analysis (as Edward Snowden has famously revealed). When did this happen? The turning point came when the U.S. found itself in a prolonged war with Iraq, but without adequate forces, The Bush Administration turned to the PMSCs to fill the gap. Private contractors eventually exceeded troops.

Ann Hagedorn profiles members of Congress who recognize the dangers of dependence on PMSCs, but have been unable to limit them. She reveals the key figure in the evolution of the industry. She introduces us to a US Army general who studies new developments, and worries about PMSCs potentially fighting American troops. The Invisible Soldiers will inspire a national dialogue. Coming this Fall: November 15, 10 a.m.The People’s House by David Pepper

Discover why the Wall Street Journal crowned “The People’s House” the “sleeper for political thriller of the year,” or why a former Governor said she almost missed her connecting flight because she could not put it down.

Political reporter Jack Sharpe is at the tail end of a disappointing career; jaded about politics and stung by hard knocks. After an odd election result in the Ohio congressional district, Sharpe stumbles across voting irregularities that spur him to dig deeper. The story takes him far beyond his corner of Ohio as he discovers an international plot - one that strikes at the heart of American democracy. His reporting leads to a showdown with a philandering Congressman and Presidential contender, and a deadly Russian mogul. In order to save himself, Sharpe must rekindle his old fire to navigate a journey through danger, betrayal, and atonement. And yes, it was all written before eerily similar events occurred in a recent election.

Presented by Joe Tebben

Date & Time: Friday, June 1610 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Location: LCAP, Heritage Hall1058 E Main St, Newark, OH

Directions: (From Columbus) Take OH-161 E to OH-16 E in Newark; continuing to Dayton Rd. Turn right at the light, and right again at Matesich Distributing. LCAP is on the right in the former Millers Essenplaz.

About the Course:His death certificate bluntly records the cause of death as “strangulation from

being hanged by mob.” Seventeen-year-old Carl Etherington was lynched near the southeast corner of the Licking County Courthouse Square on July 8, 1910. He was one of twenty agents hired and deputized to enforce the Rose County local option law, a county-wide ban on the sale of liquor approved by a narrow majority of Licking County voters. Nearly 5,000 Newark residents witnessed this atrocity. Eighteen months later, in a December 15, 1911, editorial entitled “Newark’s Atonement,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer commended the city of Newark for the expiation it had made for the brutal murder of Carl Etherington. Following this outbreak of “temporary insanity,” The Plain Dealer noted, the city had brought to justice sixteen of the seventeen men indicted for this lynching. This atonement, the newspaper concluded, “should be called to the attention of the nation.” And so, 107 years later, we revisit the events that occurred on Newark’s darkest day.

This presentation examines Newark’s “temporary insanity” and the temperance movement that incited it; the circumstances of Carl Etherington’s “brutal murder” and its devastating effect on his family; and the adequacy of the “expiation” paid by the seventeen men who were held responsible for his death. In addition, we will explore the impact this “atonement” had on the lives of these seventeen men; on the careers of the elected officials who could have prevented this tragedy; and on the reputation of the Newark community.

Instructor Bio:Joseph R. Tebben is a retired professor of classics. He has degrees from Duquesne University, the University of Pittsburgh, and The Ohio State University. He is a long-time resident of Newark, Ohio, and is a trustee of the Licking County Historical Society. He is the author of The Old Home: Louis Sullivan’s Newark Bank which was published in 2014.

Newark’s Darkest Day-The Lynching of Carl Etherington

Presented by Michael Flamm

Date& Time: Monday, June 1910 a.m. – 12 p.m.


About the Course:In July 1964, peaceful protests and violent actions erupted in New York, as law and order emerged in national politics, and the freedom struggle reached a crossroads. In Harlem, the symbolic and historic heart of black America, the racial unrest signaled the arrival of the first “long, hot summer” of the 1960’s. It also sent shock waves across the country and cast a shadow over the Presidential race

between Republican Barry Goldwater and Democrat Lyndon Johnson. The following year, the War on Crime was set in motion, with fateful implications for the prison and policing debates of today.

Instructor Bio:Michael Flamm is professor of modern U.S. history at Ohio Wesleyan University, where he has received several teaching awards. As a Fulbright Scholar and Senior Specialist, he has also taught at San Andrés University in Buenos Aires. In addition, Professor Flamm has served as a faculty consultant to the National Endowment for the Humanities, the College Board, and the National Academy of Sciences.

Date & Time: Wednesday, August 2 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.


About the Course:On occasion, we may see or hear a brief comment in the news about the abuse, neglect or exploitation of an elderly person. Then the issue disappears; it is not a comfortable topic.

In this presentation, you will meet “the other first responders,” who spend their work days (and often their nights!); helping our most vulnerable neighbors, friends and relatives. This is a well-hidden issue. The discussion by the presenters will bring to light some of the abuse, neglect and exploitation members of our community are experiencing.

Case scenarios will be shared. Experiences and situations encountered by Adult Protective Services (APS) investigators will alert you to risk factors. The knowledge gained in this session could bring awareness to a vulnerable member of your neighborhood. It may surprise you to know that abuse, neglect and exploitation occur in all economic levels, religions, races and ethnicities; after all, abuse does not discriminate! Scams and financial exploitation and the ever increasing manipulation of phone and email contacts are also on the rise.

About the presenter:Jim R. Wollard was born in Newark, Ohio in 1941. While attending public school, Jim and his father (a city policeman and later the county dog warden), hunted with coonhounds throughout Licking County. During their hours afield, his father’s tales of Ohio’s frontier days fascinated Jim and fostered a life-long passion for American history. The first person in his family to attend college, Jim earned a BA in history from Muskingum University and a Master of Arts and Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. After graduation, Jim worked in the private sector for a decade before his appointment as Director of Facilities Planning and Operations on the shared campus of Central Ohio Technical College and Ohio State Newark; a position he held until his retirement in December 2012.

Jim’s life-long determination to write historical fiction bore fruit with the publication of his first Ohio frontier novel. Thunder in the Valley, which won the 1996 Western Writers of America (WWA) Medicine Pipe Award for Best First Novel and the WWA’s Spur Award for best original paperback novel.

In the intervening years Jim published four additional Ohio frontier novels; plus, a western murder mystery set in 1891 Alamosa, Colorado; and two young adult novels featuring the adventures of high school boys and their redbone coonhounds (based on hunting and dog breeding experiences with his father).

Jim’s novel, “Raiding With Morgan,” centered on the 1863 Civil War invasion of Indiana and Ohio by 2,300 Confederate cavalrymen commanded by General John Hunt Morgan, the infamous Morgan’s Raiders. The book was published in the Spring of 2014. Jim’s Civil War novel, “Riding for The Flag,” is the story of three Chillicothe brothers from a family divided by the conflict, and was released in 2015. Jim is currently writing a Civil War novel featuring Hiram Berdan’s Federal sharpshooters, the feared Killers in Green Coats.

Jim and his wife, Nancy (a retired Licking County schoolteacher), have two sons, and four grandchildren. They reside atop the historic Dugway Hill in Newark, Ohio with Chuck, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Presented by Jason Cervenec

Date & Time: Wednesday, August 161 p.m. – 3 p.m.

Location: The Ohio State University, 1090 Carmack Road, Columbus, OH

Directions: While the tour of the facility is free, visitors will be required to purchase a parking voucher from a kiosk in the parking lot. (It is recommended that individuals carpool and plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow time to purchase parking before walking to the facility.) Note: To avoid costly parking fines, it is critical to purchase a parking voucher.

1) Take 315 to the Lane Avenue exit (a major exit for The Ohio State University). If coming from the South side of the city, turn left and proceed West. From the North, turn right onto Lane Ave. 2) Once on Lane Ave., pass Kenny Road, and take the next road, Carmack Road, to the left.

3) Once on Carmack Road, continue straight, past Arthur Adams Road, and through the 4 way stop and into the parking lot. 4) Park and pay at the kiosks located at the north end of the lot near the footbridge. With a parking pass, park in spaces marked WA, WB, WC, or VISITOR. 5) Proceed over footbridge and follow the path straight to the compound of buildings, where the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center is the third building on the left.

Meet in the Auditorium (Room 240), on the second floor of Scott Hall. You will need to enter Scott Hall through Door #2 (each door is labeled) on the east side of the building and ascend the steps near the statue of Admiral Byrd.

About the Course:The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) at The Ohio State University is recognized internationally as a leader in polar, alpine, and climate research. The Center is named in honor of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, America’s most famous polar explorer. There are ten research groups at BPCRC, along with a Library, Archival Program, the Polar Rock Repository, and a team of support staff. Research at

the Center focuses on the role of cold regions in the Earth’s overall climate system, and encompasses geological sciences, geochemistry, glaciology, paleoclimatology, meteorology, remote sensing, ocean dynamics, and the history of polar exploration. This course will include an overview presentation, an explanation of the research groups; a brief history of the Center as an Ohio State institution; and a tour of the facility (including the clean rooms, ice core freezer, and polar rock repository).

Instructor Bio:Jason Cervenec is the Education and Outreach Director for the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center at The Ohio State University. The diverse outreach portfolio of the center reaches approximately 12,000 individuals annually and includes programs in cutting-edge science, science education, history, and the arts. Jason earned a B.S. in Biology and M.Ed. in Secondary Science Education from The Ohio State University and began his career as a high school science teacher where he taught for more than a decade. Notably, the most common request for information that Jason receives from the public is on climate change.

Coffee & Conversation

Presented by Neil L. Drobny Ph.D., ISSP, CSP

Date & Time: Friday, August 25 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.


About the Course:Discover why sustainability is an important and growing driver of strategy in nearly all industrial and commercial business sectors around the world. The instructor will describe historical roots and then fast forward to economic, cultural, and political factors propelling businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable business practices. He will draw upon examples from global and local companies that support his

courses at Ohio State and from several decades of consulting. He will also provide some thoughts about where sustainable principles and practices will take corporate leaders in the future.

Instructor Bio:Neil began an academic career about 12 years ago after several decades of environmental consulting. He initially taught courses in corporate environmental strategy part-time in the MBA program at Ohio State. Those courses were eventually refocused on sustainable business practices, and a second set of courses was developed for undergraduates. In 2002, Ohio State launched a new campus-wide academic major in sustainability that included Neil’s undergraduate courses in sustainable business practices as core courses. Additionally, Neil was appointed the inaugural director of the program which has become the fastest

Why Business has a Sustainability Agenda

growing major on campus. More recently he has undertaken development of the Sustainability Innovation Virtual Lab, which brings experiential learning in sustainability to Ohio State students. He received the 2013 Undergraduate Service Award from the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State.

Previously in his career, Neil served as executive director of two small recycling organizations. He founded and served as CEO of a regional environmental consulting firm, and he also worked at Battelle in Columbus.

Neil received his Bachelors and Masters degree from Dartmouth College and his PhD from The Ohio State University, all in Environmental Engineering. He is a Certified Sustainability Professional granted by the International Society of Sustainability Professionals.
