  <body>&lt;p&gt;YAKIMA &amp;mdash; A local historian will describe his perspective on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, during a talk on the evening of the seventh anniversary of the tragedies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ken Zontek, a history instructor at Yakima Valley Community College, will give his take on Sept. 11, its relationship to his subsequent deployment to Afghanistan as an Army officer, and his post-deployment effort to improve the lives of Afghans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His presentation is called: "Big Apple to Apple Capital to Afghanistan: Emotion, Reason and Commitment."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's part of the nationwide September Project, a grassroots effort to encourage events about freedom and democracy in all libraries during the month of September. For more information about the September Project, visit theseptember&lt;br /&gt; project.wordpress.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zontek's talk will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Summitview Library, 5709 Summitview Ave.&lt;/p&gt;
