St. Joseph Vineyards, 2016
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wineryne/42/thumbnail.jpgWith vineyards and a tasting room in three locations in Thompson and Madison, the establishment generates around 12 varieties of wine and cultivates about 25 grape growing acres. Staying small is a strategy that works for wine owners, Art and Doreen Pietrzyk. Everything at the vineyards, from the picking to the sorting of grapes, is done by hand and the output of this process is quality control. A former automation engineer, Art has been growing grapes since childhood. Best known for its Pinot Noir, this variety has received a number of California gold medals and is the only Ohio wine featured in John Winthrop Haeger’s “North American Pinot Noir.” A particularly challenging variety to grow successfully in this region, Art’s hands-on process in the vineyards to prevent over-cropping provides the right flavor and tannins needed to produce this award winning wine. The winery has been in operation since 1997 and in 2007, it opened its main Tuscan-inspired tasting room in Madison.</p

Before opening the winery, Tony Kosicek, a third generation grape grower, sold tons of grapes to Welch\u27s every year which were harvested on land purchased by his grandfather in 1929. Today, the winery offers 18 varieties of wine, a relaxing and modern tasting room, and an outdoor deck overlooking the 15 acres of Concord grapes and 8 acres of vinifera varieties.</p

Proper soil, the right microclimate, and frost protection provided the family with the best land in the area to produce high-end American, hybrid, and vinifera wine. The winery closed in 2002.</p

Gender in Islam: Negotiating Advocacy
No full textWhen Islam is discussed in contemporary discourse, lurking in the background of every discussion is the question of gender. In discussions of gender, the interplay of religion, and specifically Muslim women, is often kept in the margins. This presentation examines the implications of gender in Islam with a specific focus on domestic violence, veiling, and education. Understanding gender as both a lens through which to evaluate the world and as a means of structuring power, the research explores the context and history, the modern manifestation of these concerns, and current resistance and advocacy for change from within Islam. This is a critical inquiry of a variety of sources, including historical analyses, memoirs of Muslim women and girls, spoken testimony of religious leaders, and film. The presentation seeks to identify methods of alleviating the problems from the interaction of religion and gender within a Muslim, non-Western framework.</p
Moyer Vineyard, 1994
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/winerysw/4/thumbnail.jpgLocated about an hour from Cincinnati on the banks of the Ohio River, Ken and Mary Moyer purchased the land with a rustic building on site in 1972 intending to open a small winery. Built in 1926, the building had been a dance hall for bootleg beer during prohibition, a place for amateur boxing, and a truck stop before it was converted into a winery and a restaurant.
In 1999, the Moyers sold the winery to a group of friends dedicated to maintaining the same quality and tradition. Producing about 2,500 cases annually, the vineyard provides Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin, DeChaunac, Traminette, Cabernet Franc, and Concord grapes. The winery also sourced grapes from other areas.
Ken Smith and his wife Kimberly took over management in 2018, and in 2019 a fire unfortunately destroyed the winery.</p

Rationale and Example of a Grant Writing Course for Graduate Students in Sport Management
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/node/9940/8832-thumbnail.jpgTo prepare graduate students for their future careers and to help solve a variety of problems (e.g., societal, environmental, economic, practical, and theoretical), grant writing courses or seminars should be considered with respect to their required or elective curriculum. This work intends to provide an example of a previously taught course concerning the setting up and developing of a quality graduate-level grant writing class in Sport Management to provide necessary knowledge and experience for future scholars of the field. A multi-step approach and discussion of the grant writing process modeled after an actual grant writing course dedicated to Sport Management graduate students is presented to develop an appreciation for research, collaboration, and technical writing skills among prospective scholars. Finally, course evaluation components and a review of the course are included to make recommendations for future efforts.</p
