Welcome
to
hello,
baltimore
county,
I'm
your
host
ellen
kobler,
have
you
heard
of
chatauqua.
It's
an
adult
education
and
cultural
movement
in
the
united
states
that
started
in
the
late
19th
century
along
the
shores
of
chautauqua
lake
in
upstate,
New
York.
Well,
you
can
indulge
in
a
wonderful
Chautauqua
program
right
here
at
the
community
college
of
baltimore
county
in
catonsville
here
to
tell
us
about
this
year's
program
called
sporting
life,
our
patty
crosman,
chair
of
performing
arts
and
humanities
at
CCBC
and
Phoebe
Stein
executive
director
of
the
Maryland
Humanities
Council.
C
Well,
as
you
said,
Chautauqua
did
begin
on
the
shores
of
Lake
Chautauqua
in
New
York.
It
actually
began
as
a
training
program
for
Sunday
School
teachers
in
1874
later
on,
it
became
a
part
of
like
the
Lyceum
movement
which
brought
entertainers
and
lectures
to
small
towns
all
across
the
nation,
around
nineteen
twenty
it
did
die
out,
but
in
1970
state
humanities
councils
across
the
country
revived
it
and
in
1994
the
Maryland
Humanities
Council
began
to
offer
these
programs
very.
B
B
Youth
council
doing
Chautauqua,
we
have
had
themes
around
food,
we've
had
themes
around
work.
We've
had
games
around
the
American
Civil
War.
We
did
a
special
a
few
years
ago,
a
special
session
on
the
war
of
1812.
Our
performances
from
these
are
living
history,
performances,
so
they're,
they're,
historical
figures,
I
come
to
life
and.
A
B
A
C
The
big
thing,
I,
think
that
makes
it
unique
is
that
it
takes
place
over
three
evenings.
It's
a
multi
evening
event.
Also,
as
Phoebe
mentioned,
the
format
is
very
interesting
before
the
actor
scholar
appears.
We
have
a
musical
act
that
features
music
and
interesting
entertainment
from
the
time
of
that
historical
character,
I.
A
B
Sporting
life,
so
we're
going
to
be
back
at
CCBC,
we're
very
excited
about
this
partnership
and
we're
going
to
be
back
on
the
catonsville
campus.
We
were
undone
doc
last
year
due
to
construction,
but
we're
happy
to
be
back
in
kingsville,
July,
tenth,
eleventh
and
twelfth
seven
o'clock
and
word
we
should
mention
a
lot.
Is
it's
free
/.
B
A
B
Who
is
blonde
in
baltimore
but
spent
his
life
just
one
year
as
an
Oriole
and
then
I
believe
it's
a
Boston,
Red
Sox
and
then,
of
course,
his
career
with
the
Yankees,
so
we're
very
happy
to
be
having
babe
ruth,
also
wilma
rudolph,
an
amazing
african-american
Olympian,
who
won
three
gold
medals
in
the
Olympics
in
track
and
field
who
survived
and
thrived
after
infantile
paralysis
due
to
polio.
So
an
amazing
story,
yeah
and
then
our
third
jim
thorpe,
who
has
native
american
history,
was
called
by
some
the
greatest
athlete
in
the
world.
B
A
C
A
B
As
I
understood,
he
was
raised
in
a
Native
American
school,
so
he
was
educated
on
a
reservation.
I
believe
and
then
went
on
to
a
football
career.
So
but
he
was
also
an
Olympian
himself
I
in
track
and
field
as
I
understand
so
and
I'm
I'm
excited
to
learn
more.
It's
not
someone.
I
was
familiar
with,
so
we
learn
so
much
at
the
Maryland
Humanities,
and
also
by
bringing
these
wonderful
actor
scholars
and
very.
B
Yeah
I
think
I
think
that's
right.
Those
were
restored
to
him,
however,
later
in
life
that
as
I
understand
it
yeah.
The
idea
is
that
these
are
stories
of
sporting
figures,
but
they're
also
historical
figures
and
at
the
Maryland
Humanities
Council.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
history
is
relevant
to
everyone's.
You
know
everyday
life,
so
enjoyable,
but
also
historical,
well
sure,
I
mean
educational.
