2005 Inductee, Peter and Josephine Ferrante; Winemakers and Owners of Ferrante Winery
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/winehalloffame/17/thumbnail.jpgPeter Ferrante (1923-2009) and Josephine Ferrante represent the success of the early history of the new Ohio wine industry. Leaders in local and national viticulture, the couple brought some of the first French hybrid grapes, a cross between American native grapes and European wine grapes, to the Grand River American Viticulture Area. This mix combines the best traits of both varieties; resisting disease, surviving northern Ohio’s cooler climate, and making better quality wines
Harpersfield Winery, 2016
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wineryne/44/thumbnail.jpgIn 1979, Wes Gerlosky acquired 50 acres of farmland in Harpersfield, planted vines, and seven years later bottled a Chardonnay. Determined to elevate the status of the winemaking industry in Ohio, Wes focused his passion on producing superb European-style wine such as his world-class Gewürztraminer. The Ribic family acquired the winery in 2005 and has carried on the Gerlosky tradition of producing fine European wines. The establishment offers a rustic tasting room, outdoor seating with direct views of the vineyard, and weekend music entertainment. As an estate winery, all the wines are made exclusively with grapes grown at the vineyard. Today, the winery is best known for its Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir.</p

Tours of the Crystal Cave are also available. Touted as the world’s largest geode, this cave located 40 feet under the winery was discovered by workers digging for a well in 1897. Historically known for its sweet wine, the most popular wine is Pink Catawba. Other native grapes such as Ives, Delaware, Concord, and Niagara are also grown on the island. Ohio’s oldest family owned winery, today the winery is still run by the third, fourth and fifth generations of Heinemans
Then and Now: A Study of Radicalism in "The Normal Heart" and "Clit Notes"
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/node/9877/8776-thumbnail.jpgThe goal of social justice theater is to inspire audiences to change the way they think, feel, or act pertaining to an oppressed group. Change is instilled through an assimilationist, radical, or matter of fact style of writing. Radical writing aims to shock and awe audiences, forcing them to acknowledge an issue and encourage them to create positive change. Holly Hughes and Larry Kramer utilize this writing style in their work to call attention to injustices against the LGBTQ community. Hughes’s Clit Notes and Kramer’s The Normal Heart were radical works when initially published and contain subject matter warranting them as radical in today’s society as well.</p
Gender Differences in Performance of Equivalently Loaded Push-Up and Bench-Press Exercises
No full text/sites/default/files/journals/4/articles/169/submission/thumbnail.jpgPush-up and the bench- press are common exercises to develop upper-body strength and muscle endurance. The purpose of this study was to compare muscle endurance performance of matched load push-up and bench-press between men and women, where women perform modified push-up and men standard push-up. Thirty-two young healthy men and women (16 men and 16 women) participated in the study. Participants completed three tests, push-ups to failure, one repetition maximum (1RM) bench-press, and a bench-press test to failure performed with a load equivalent to percent body mass during the push-up. On average men performed 17.5 more repetitions than women in the bench-press test (men 25.3 (5.7), women 5.9 (4.2), p < 0.001). No difference (p = 0.25) was found between women and men in the number of push-ups performed (men 32.8 (8.3), women 29.6 (7.1)). However, within subjects differences were observed between bench-press and push-up exercises, p < 0.001. 1RM benchpress load was greater in men, in absolute values, men lifted 77.7 kg more than women (p < 0.001), and relative to body mass, men lifted 2.4 times more mass than women (p < 0.001). These results suggest that bench-press and push-up muscle endurance exercises differ greatly in women but not in men, likely due to gender differences in upper-body strength. This is an important consideration for upperbody strength training prescriptions.</p

1948, Florence Allen and Mary Pierce Holiday Greetings Card
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/allen_gallery/27/thumbnail.jpgDuring 1948, the year this holiday card was sent out to friends and family, Florence Allen was serving as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, a position President Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated her for in 1934. This appointment would make her the first female in American history to serve as an Article III judge. In this same year she was honored by New York University Law School, her alma mater, as “one of the world’s most truly great women” at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Allen spoke at the event that evening and “asserted that lawyers have a positive obligation to explain to the peoples who control the national governments the crucial necessity for building up a system of law between the nations as a substitute for war.”</p
Hemingway’s Spain: Imagining the Spanish World
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/hemingway/17/thumbnail.jpgEssays that explore Hemingway’s love for Spain Ernest Hemingway famously called Spain “the country that I loved more than any other except my own,” and his forty-year love affair with it provided an inspiration and setting for major works from each decade of his career: The Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Dangerous Summer, andThe Garden of Eden; his only full-length play, The Fifth Column; the Civil War documentary The Spanish Earth; and some of his finest short fiction, including “Hills Like White Elephants” and “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.” In Hemingway’s Spain, Carl P. Eby and Mark Cirino collect thirteen penetrating and innovative essays by scholars of different nationalities, generations, and perspectives who explore Hemingway’s writing about Spain and his relationship to Spanish culture and ask us in a myriad of ways to rethink how Hemingway imagined Spain—whether through a modernist mythologization of the Spanish soil, his fascination with the bullfight, his interrogation of the relationship between travel and tourism, his involvement with Spanish politics, his dialog with Spanish writers, or his appreciation of the subtleties of Spanish values. In addition to fresh critical responses to some of Hemingway’s most famous novels and stories, a particular strength of Hemingway’s Spain is its consideration of neglected works, such as Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War stories and The Dangerous Summer. The collection is noteworthy for its attention to how Hemingway’s post–World War II fiction revisits and reimagines his earlier Spanish works, and it brings new light both to Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War politics and his reception in Spain during the Franco years. Hemingway’s lifelong engagement with Spain is central to understanding and appreciating his work, and Hemingway’s Spain is an indispensable exploration of Hemingway’s home away from home.</p
