Once again, the war on Advent marches forward, as stores decorate for published monthly by Christmas, radio stations blare holiday music, and pundits fight over whether or not there is a St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church war on Christmas. 7121 Muirfield Drive Dublin, OH 43017 Few know that it was our Puritan founders who originally propagated the war on Christmas.

Advent is not Dublin Ohio the same as Christmas, no matter what the decorations, shopping, and music may tell us. Ad- vent is meant to be a time of waiting and watching. And what are we waiting and watching for? The Rev. Dr. Stephen Smith, We are looking for God’s action in the world. And because we know the end of the story, we Rector know that God’s action will be found in the most unlikely places: with a young couple forced Cell phone: 614-499-2872 to be refugees because of the power of the state, with lowly workers in a field, and a stall for [email protected] animals.

They bring a twinkle of light into the dark- [email protected] ness. I love all the lights at the zoo ,and I love to drive through neighborhoods to see the lights people put up around their house. I put lights around the inside of my house so I can spend time enjoying the glow and sparkle. Perhaps I like Christmas lights so much because it reminds me of the hope I hear in the lessons on Sunday morning. During Advent, we will hear of hope with the coming of Jesus. He comes as a baby swaddled in love. That image fills my heart with the light of hope. Hope for peace. Hope for resolution to problems. Hope for reconciliation. Hope for joy in our lives. The Episcopal To experience hope this Advent season, I am going to strive to be kind and look for kindness Church Welcomes around me. Kindness while I shop, and drive.

We appreciated the comments made and the beautiful framed certificate and picture presented to the museum by Representative Jim Zehringer. Also presented to the local historical society was a certificate from the Ohio Historical Society. We were proud to host a number of representatives of OHS, including George Kane, Director of Historic Sites. Coming from a great distance for this special event was patron Victor Wells who drove for 2 1/2 days to partake in the festivities and then turned around and drove right back to his home/work in Colorado. No one could show greater support! Thank you, Victor. We also appreciated that so many of you patrons attended. We were so proud to see the many blue and gold ribbons worn that day! Thank YOU!

Ideally, the session would cover not just what you did, but what you learned from the process that can be helpful to historical sites as they work on their own similar projects.” Abstract The Northwest Indian War Battles of the Wabash (1791) and Fort Recovery (1794) involved multiple tribes and the U.S. military.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

  • Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition
    Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition No school should not mean “no learning.” Keep your kids active physically and mentally this summer by providing them fun, interesting, and educational things to do. This summer enrichment guide has 3 major parts: summer theme suggestions (this year focusing on the out-of-doors and fun at home), websites to find activities and events over the summer months, and suggested destinations within a 2 ½-3 hour radius of St. Thomas More. We are already planning ways to have fun over the summer. Joe has chosen a Hiking theme (our outdoor focus) and Michael has chosen Cooking (fun at home). Hopefully this guide will help your family do the same! Julie Esposito ([email protected]) Summer Theme Ideas Joe informed me six years ago that he wanted to study fossils. Michael, not wanting to be outdone, promptly said that if Joe got to study fossils, he wanted to study bones. Thus was born our new tradition of summer themes. Each child choses a topic and we look for books, websites, activities, events, destinations, and adventures centered around the theme. Other themes we have explored included gardens, forts, insects, airplanes & aviation, astronomy & the night sky, archeology, games, international, and Indians. Here are some of the ways we accomplish this: Check-out and read library books on the chosen topic(s) Search the web for videos and kid-friendly websites Have family discussion on topics related to the theme and family game nights Attend programs/activities offered locally for kids that fit in with the theme Visit places in town or as day trips to the surrounding area that fit the theme Look for ways to incorporate the theme in our vacation travel plans Plan cooking/dining experiences around the theme COVID-19: Did you know that in all the countries tracking COVID-19 outbreaks, there has been only one major identified outbreak outdoors? 90% of outbreak incidents took place in homes, workplaces, restaurants, and indoor gatherings (i.e.

  • The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville
    A Thesis Entitled The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville: Why Did Anthony Wayne Win Both and Could He Have Lost? By Bryce Dixon Blair Jr. Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Liberal Studies ____________________ Advisor: Dr. Alfred Cave ____________________ Committee Member: Dr. Michael Jakobson ____________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo May 2005 Acknowledgements This thesis project would have forever remained an uncompleted enigma without crucial support and assistance from several people. My first and most heartfelt thanks go to my wife, Cherie. She worked even harder as almost a single parent during the long hours of reading, research, and writing that quite often kept me away from the family. She left me alone when I needed privacy and solitude and she prodded me to varying degrees when I needed greater focus and motivation. She has also been my invaluable technical advisor for the art of computer science. Though they are too young to appreciate this now, I thank my two young children, Bryce and Eryn, for accepting an absent Dad at times. They provided me with love and attention and much needed respites from academic pursuits. I thank my parents, Bryce and Eleanor, who have always placed a strong emphasis on intelligence and education by example but have done so without judgement. My mother lent me a copy of James Thom’s Panther In The Sky about a dozen years ago and this helped to rejuvenate my interest in this historical era. Special credit is due my thesis committee: Dr.

  • Early Mercer County Settlement Indian Settlement the Treaty of Fort Stanwix
    Early Mercer County Settlement Indian Settlement Mercer County was virgin forest inhabited by Indians. The Erie, or the Cat Nation (Eriehronon), controlled the area during the early and middle 1600's. In 1656, the Iroquois Confederation conquered the Erie Indians, controlled the area, and used it as a hunting reserve. By the time the white settlers came to the area, it was controlled by the Seneca Indians, also called Cornplanters. They lived by hunting and fishing. Rather than establishing permanent towns, they constructed semi-permanent hunting and seasonal farming camps. The Seneca waged war with other Indians to maintain their tribal structure and control of their lands. Although they annihilated tribes that refused to submit to their rule, they often allowed defeated tribes to remain in the conquered territory. Four tribal groups - the Iroquois, the Delawares (who called themselves the Leni-Lenape), the Shawnee, and the Wyandot - lived in the Mercer County area under the control of the Seneca. Many of the Leni-Lenape had fought with the British colonists with the Ottawa leader Pontiac in 1763, on the French side in the French and Indian War (1754–1763), and on the British side in the Revolutionary War. The Lenape established permanent towns. There were three large Indian settlements in the area. A large settlement of seventy lodges was located near Mercer, another at ―the big bend‖, and another at Pine Swamp in Jackson Township. These Indian settlements were all communities of less than 100 families each. East of Mercer at the source of Neshannock Creek there were at least a dozen settlements.
