Honorees Named Hispanic Ohioans in Columbus
Seven people receive recognition for distinguished Hispanic Ohioans in Columbus. Dr Raymundo de la Pena of Elyria and Evelyn Vansant of Lorain are among the honorees. De la Pena, a 74 year old retired physician, still works in EMH Regional Medical Center’s ER weekly. Vansant started and directs the Lorain Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program since 1991 and has served in government and civic groups. The piece also notes awards and local civic actions including a $46 million Elyria school funding plan, a donated Ely Square clock tower by Apple Corp, and a reaction to a Western Reserve Middle School incident involving a 10 year old in a sports jersey. It closes praising Bob Henry Baber for coordinating 38,000 pounds of books for low income residents via Second Harvest.
