It felt like the right thing to do and made us happy,” Josie and Lily agreed. “Ginghamsburg believes what happens at home is more important than what happens at church because we believe our responsibility is to support parents who are their children’s primary faith teachers,” Sharp said. “Parents receive weekly tools to teach faith at home. Each month, we have a new life app for parents to develop with their kids. A life app is part of God or reflects a piece of God’s character.” Other events serving

Community Easter Egg Hunt. Through this community outreach event, we are partnering with our community including firefighters, our police department and inviting everyone onto our big front yard. We have an amazing space for this type of event, and it’s great to share with our families and neighbors in our communities. Even though Easter can become about the eggs and the candy and the baskets, this event also offers a way we can share with our neighbors the true meaning of Easter.” Easter weekend, March 30 and 31, Ginghamsburg Church offers seven Easter celebrations at its Tipp City campus, 6759 S. County Road 25-A. Services will be March 30 at 3:30, 5 and 7 p.m.; and March 31 at 7, 8:30, 10 and 11:30 a.m. Families are invited to discover the fine line between “what is and what could be … [im]possible.” “Our Community Easter Egg Hunt is just one of the many ways Ginghamsburg is working to be a great neighbor in Miami County,” Sharp said. “We offer opportunities for families to volunteer together and serve our Miami County neighbors.

TIPP CITY — Ginghamsburg Church will host a free Community Easter Egg Hunt March 23 at its Tipp City campus, and everyone is invited. Ginghamsburg is hiding 50,000 plastic eggs filled with more than 100,000 pieces of candy for boys and girls age 12 and younger to find. The church is setting up a big tent on its front lawn to provide an Easter petting zoo with sheep, donkeys, chicks, ducks and bunnies. Complimentary refreshments include doughnut holes, hot chocolate and coffee. Families can take part in Easter games like the bunny sack race and egg drop. Face painting, crafts, games and prizes are all part of the Community Easter Egg Hunt. Parents should plan to arrive at 9:30 a.m. to register their child or children for the egg hunts, which are divided into four separate age groups. One golden ticket is hidden among the eggs in each age group, and the lucky children who find the tickets each win a fabulous Easter basket donated by Cairn’s Toy Store in Tipp City. The Easter bunny and his helpers walk the event to make sure every boy or girl has plenty of candy and a prize or two. Under the big tent, children can hear the Easter resurrection story told by Jesus’ mother Mary in front of the empty tomb. “We offer family-focused events throughout the year for the whole community,” said Ginghamsburg Director of Family and Children’s Ministry Erica Sharp. “It’s been more than 10 years since Ginghamsburg Church hosted a

Local band releases first album The Broken Lights to play release show on Friday DAYTON — The Broken Lights, a three-piece band of young men from Tipp City and Vandalia, is releasing its first album, eponymously titled “The Broken Lights,” with a show at Canal Street Tavern in Dayton Friday. Guests Good English and A New Creation also will perform. The all-ages show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door, or $7 if younger than 18. The Broken Lights’ mix of originals and classic rock and blues covers has drawn good reviews everywhere the band has played. Now, with this Friday’s release of their first album, the band has demonstrated the ability to bring its live energy into the recording studio. The CD consists of 10 original songs written by the band members, Tyler Cochran (guitar and vocals, age 20, of Vandalia), Andy Uzzel (bass, age 17, of Tipp City) and Zach Grove (drums, age 18, of Vandalia). The road to success hasn’t been a long and wind-

Cincinnati, playing the world famous Agora Theater in Cleveland and even opening at the Dixie DriveIn for Batman last summer. The band has its sights set on more than local success. “We want to keep expanding,” said Grove, a 2012 graduate of Vandalia Butler High School, now attending Sinclair Community College. “We want to perform all over Ohio and beyond.” “I love the road trips,” said Uzzel, a junior at Tipp City High School. “I’d play somewhere different every night if I could.” The release of the debut album is foremost on their minds now. “What I’m most excited about is how much the en-
ergy of our live performances comes through on the album,” said Cochran, a 2011 Vandalia-Butler grad, who also is attending Sinclair. “The studio didn’t change our music, it enhanced it.” The Broken Lights members are looking to pack Canal Street Tavern, 308 E. 1st St., for the show on Friday. “It’s definitely the biggest night of our lives,” Grove said, “so far.” Among its upcoming 2013 engagements, the Broken Lights will be opening at the Canal Music Fest in Tipp City June 8 and performing at the Ohio State Fair Aug. 3.

New bike tour needs logo PIQUA — Mainstreet Piqua is looking for a good design — logo design, that is. Piqua’s downtown organization will be hosting a brand new bike tour event this fall and has announced a logo design competition with the winning entry receiving $100. The Groovy Gourd Bike Tour logo will be used to promote and market the new event. The contest is open to both amateurs and professionals. The new bike tour event will be held in October, and will be a 10-, 25- and 50-mile bike tour starting in downtown Piqua. The winning logo from the design contest will be used on the bike tour T-shirts, as well as on the registration forms and other marketing materials. All the participants in the Groovy Gourd Bike Tour will receive a gourd or pumpkin at the conclusion of the ride. “We are looking for some amusing, cool or lighthearted designs to help promote our new event,” Mainstreet Piqua Director Lorna Swisher said. “The bike tour is intended to be a non-competitive fun event, and we are looking for a logo to go along with that objective.” A complete set of the guidelines for the logo contest and an official entry form is available from the Mainstreet Piqua office, 326 N. Main St., or can be downloaded from the Mainstreet Piqua website at www.mainstreetpiqua.com. Each logo design must have an official entry form attached. The contest deadline is April 15. The winner will be notified shortly thereafter. All questions about the logo design contest may be directed to Swisher at Mainstreet Piqua at (937) 773-9355.

Veterans documentary to be shown at Hoffman United Methodist Church WEST MILTON — The public is invited to a screening of “Veteran’s DAY 11-11-11” Monday at 7 p.m. at Hoffman United Methodist Church, 201 S. Main St. This powerful documentary honors the nation’s veterans and the families of fallen heroes. The same documentary was shown recently in Tipp City. The film includes a roundtable discussion of five veterans from different branches and eras of the military. Volunteer photojournalists followed others in their communities across the U.S. Producer John Coheen
is an instructor at Loyola University of Chicago’s School of Communication. As a veteran, he wanted to commemorate the sacrifices of military men and women. His desire was to give veterans and their families an opportunity to speak about their experiences during their time spent in service. Some of the 15 narratives included are of Civil War Medal of Honor recipient Frederick Anderson; Bennie Jefferies talking about his time as a tail gunner, Geoffrey Steiner, who plants trees in memory of fallen soldiers; and
military working dog Eli, who was retired after losing his handler, LCpl. Colton Rusk, to sniper fire in Afghanistan. Milton-Union High School band director Ron Duncan concludes this documentary with his view of why the playing of Taps is so important. Beginning his military career in the Marines, Duncan now serves in the Indiana Army National Guard and plays for military funerals in the area. For further information, call the church office at (937) 698-4401 or Susie at (937) 698-6798.

There’s an art to that and she possesses it.” Besides Ridenour and Nimety, Penny and the Loafers’ lineup includes original member Jim Cook on drums, and newcomers Jeff Davis (keyboards, vocals) and John Stockstill (bass, vocals). Penny and the Loafers can be booked to play corporate and private events by calling Ridenour at (937) 773-9277. The band is still using The Drive’s website at www.thedrivelive.com.

PIQUA — When guitarist Scott Ridenour took the stage with his former bandmate Penny Nimety, the fit was as comfortable as an old shoe. It had been five years since Nimety left the band once known as Penny and the Loafers, but her return to the microphone last year melted those years away. The group now played under a different name — The Drive — but the chemistry hadn’t changed. “Penny decided to come back when our lead singer Bob Comstock suffered several strokes in August of last year,” Ridenour said. “She stepped in for him and decided she wanted to sing again.” A Jan. 26 benefit for Comstock marked the unofficial reunion of Penny and the Loafers and drew
The Drive is known for its renditions of songs including The Temptations’ “My Girl,” “What I Like About You” by The Romantics and Journey’s “Only the Young,” which showcased Comstock’s soaring voice. Though Comstock’s absence is felt, Nimety’s return will broaden the band’s repertoire to include artists like Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks and Etta James. “We really do miss Bob. He had such a great voice and good range,” Ridenour said. “The changeover won’t be too drastic. We do a lot of the same songs we did as The Drive, but now we’re able to do more feband specializing in classic male artists and bluesrock and ’80s hits. based songs.” “We hope to incorporate In addition to praising some originals eventually, Nimety’s vocal prowess, but we primarily do covers Ridenour remarked that and we target festivals, her finesse as a frontcorporate events, parties woman brings a certain and weddings, along with pizazz to the band’s perstandard bar and club formances. gigs,” Ridenour said. “Penny certainly has a

GREENVILLE — Art at the Mill begins a new season with an exhibit running from March 29 through April 21 at historic Bear’s Mill in Greenville. Painter Elaine Balsley will display work focused around “The Flavor of Italy,” while clay artist Rick Paldino’s exhibit will feature pottery enhanced by hand-carved wood. Due to observance of Good Friday, the artists’ reception, which usually accompanies the opening, will not occur until April 5 when light appetizers and wine will be served from 6 to 9 p.m. According to Julie Clark, retail manager and gallery coordinator for Bear’s Mill, Balsley’s paintings will not only include intimate looks at chapels, homes and scenery encountered in Italy, but also serene still lifes and vibrant florals with an Italian flavor. Balsley says she is particularly inspired by the Impressionists, especially Monet, Degas and Cassatt, and strives to achieve the level of feeling those painters expressed. “Elaine enjoys creating art in all media and of any genre; that joy in creation is easily discernible in her impressive body of work,” Clark said. Paldino was introduced to clay while in high school, and instantly knew that he had found his calling. After graduating from Wright State University, the potter taught and worked in Nashville, Tenn., and Canton before moving to Troy, where he continues to create functional and decorative

Library seeks Piqua Players memorabilia PIQUA — The Piqua Public Library is seeking memorabilia from the Piqua Players for its collection. The Piqua Players community theater group began performing in Mote Park in Piqua in 1951. The group flourished and it went on to perform three plays a year for more than
50 years. In more recent times, as happens to many hardworking volunteer organizations, participation lagged, and so did program attendance. The group eventually became unable to fulfill its mission and disbanded in the early 2000s, leaving behind a wonderful history of local
theatrical performances. “There’s a legacy here. The Piqua Players created a foundation for an appreciation of the arts in Piqua, and it would be a shame to allow that legacy to disappear,” says Gary Meek, local history coordinator for the Piqua Public Library. “We would like to include Piqua Players items in the archives at the library. These archives are available for research by historians, but they also serve as a snapshot of Piqua’s development over the years. The Piqua Players were certainly an important part of that development.” Donation of any memorabilia from the group is appreciated, including scrapbooks, programs, fliers, photos and more.

New brewpub plans St. Pat’s Day open house DAYTON — Fifth Street Brewpub (FSB), the first co-operatively owned brewpub in Ohio and the second in the nation, will kick off St. Patrick’s Day one day early with an open house Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. The Fifth Street Brewpub St. Patrick’s Day open house will include a variety of exciting activities for member-owners and nonmembers to take part in, and it also offers the opportunity for non-members to join the brewpub. There will be an assortment of hot and cold foods in addition to beer and a sampling of Fifth Street Brewpub’s own signature craft beer. Two specialty beers have been crafted
just for St. Patrick’s Day, including a hearty Dry Irish Stout and a refreshing Irish Pale Ale. Partygoers will be entertained by live music and college basketball, and will be able to purchase FSB-branded apparel. The event also will offer another look into the brewpub’s latest renovations before its big spring opening. Attendees may tour the historic buildings, located in the St. Anne’s Hill Historic District, just east of downtown Dayton, to get a first-hand look at the progress being made to the pub. Attendees also will be able to check out the space where the customized seven- barrel brewery system will be installed in
May. This system will allow FSB to produce all of its signature craft beers inhouse. Fifth Street Brewpub member-owners have logged more than 10,000 volunteer hours working on everything from demolition work to building databases and organizing and overseeing special events. “This really has turned into a community project,” said FSB co-founder and president Brian Young. “Our member-owners volunteer for so many things, which not only makes this plan viable, but one that has reduced costs and allowed this project to come to fruition faster than any other in the world as far as
co-op brewpubs go. We are very proud of our membership and how they have stepped up. Now we just need about 500 more members-owners.” As part of its membership drive, the brewpub is offering its “The Year of Beer” gift membership. Each $100 gift membership includes all of the benefits that go with being a member-owner in addition to one Fifth Street Brewpub-branded pint glass and four coasters. For more details visit www.brewpubgifts.com. A portion of all new membership proceeds made during this open house will be donated to St. Mary Development Corporation.

Hoy was assigned to the 6,594th Test Group of the Air Force during the 1960s. He flew C-130s to retrieve film canisters, about the size of a garbage can, in midair that had been ejected from some of the United States’ earliest spy satellites. These canisters were among the first objects sent into space that were designed to survive reentry. Upon entering the ionosphere, they could resemble a shooting or falling star. Thus, the unit’s motto was “To Catch a Falling Star.” Hoy entered the Air Force in 1958, and he was assigned to R&D Command and served as a project engineer at the rocket track at White Sands, N.M. In 1969, he was assigned to a commando group in Vietnam, flying the Sikorsky Jolly Green Giants. Later assignments had him flying Fairchild C-123s, De Havilland Beavers and Hughes helicopters. After
Vietnam, he was assigned to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. At the Flight Dynamics Lab, Hoy designed and built 24 XBQM-106 small drones to find and destroy enemy antiaircraft systems. He retired from the Air Force in 1978. In his career, he had flown 20 years and was qualified in 13 different military aircraft. Today, Hoy is actively involved with many Dayton aviation organizations including the U.S. Air Force Museum, Fox Lite Inc., Wright “B” Inc. and the Wright Image Group.
