Village People – photo exhibition

brian — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:11:45 +0000

The Underdog Cafe, 233 Xenia Avenue in Yellow Springs, is hosting “Village People,” an exhibition of photographic images by Dennie Eagleson. The exhibition will run until the end of April. Eagleson, a long-time Yellow Springs resident, is a fine art and documentary photographer. The images are close portraits of current and former Village members, made over the past two decades and include some of Eagleson’s more experimental work with plastic lens cameras, gel medium transfer, and Polaroid Transfer processes. The images are a celebration of the vitality of life in the Village, and a reminder of the expansive and voluptuous quality of summer light and tastes. The portraits demonstrate how, as members of a small village, we watch each other grow up. The public is invited to attend the artist’s reception at the Cafe on Saturday, March 13th, from 5:00-7:00pm.

Eagleson exhibits her photographic work regionally and nationally. Her body of work includes projects made about alternative families in Ohio, a micro-loan program for Nicaraguan women, a music school in Sarajevo, and extensive work made in Cuba. Eagleson is a former faculty member at Antioch College. She continued to teach courses in photography and community journalism through the Nonstop Liberal Arts Institute. She is currently offering a series of workshops in Digital Photography through the Nonstop Institute. For more information, please call Dennie at 937-475-5618.

Joey Hill ’89 Romances Antioch College

Horace Mann — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:47:40 +0000

Joey Hill ’89 says laughingly, “Sometimes people look at me blankly when I tell them about my books.” She is the author of four series of erotic romances, both paranormal and contemporary. Her two paranormal series are the Daughters of Arianne and the Vampire Queen series. Her contemporary series are Knights of the Board Room and Nature of Desire. “Most all of my work explores the nature of unconditional love,” she says. “My paranormal work also delves into the shades of gray within good and evil. Being Wiccan, a faith which believes in the sacred magic of sexuality, I also like the fact that the eroticism of my books can be used to heal my characters, as well as bond them even more closely together.”

Tim Lachman ‘64 Focuses on Teaching and Fighting for Single Payer Healthcare

Horace Mann — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:33:19 +0000

After a long career in private practice, Tim Lachman '64 missed the teaching that he was exposed to and switched over from private practice to a faculty position at Temple University, where he is an assistant professor in Neurology. "It's a very good decision," he said recently. "I'm much more content teaching medical students and residents. It's been a good transition . . . Mostly people go from the academic world into private practice, and this was a reverse move." He's also been involved in the movement for national single-payer healthcare for decades. "I was an odd person in my medical class because I had progressive views," he said, "but I didn't hook up with an organization until the late 80s, Physicians for National Health Program, so I joined and been a constant member and support their goals." He continues, "In Philadelphia we have a community organization that generates actions, educational and demonstrations, to support national single-payer healthcare. So it's kept me pretty busy!" He laughs, "We've been working in the dark for a long time. A lot of publicity has come about for the single payer healthcare in the past few months. It's a good feeling but disappointment that the people are ahead of the politicians."
