All,

Following up to myself.

With a working example of X-WR-TIMEZONE from Richard Riley and a night's
sleep under my belt, I revisted setting 'org-icalendar-timezone' to my
time zone ("America/Indiana/Indianapolis") and this time it worked. Not
quite sure what happened yesterday but I suspect that my calendar was
being cached at Google and therefore did not reflect my furious cycle of
change/push/refresh as I tried different settings.

This thread:

laments the lack of timely refreshing of subscribed calendars and seems
to suggest that the refresh cycle may be as long as 24 hours. I can't
confirm that yet but I'm still waiting. It seems to be at least several
hours long.
