See Air Force museum online SC Historical Society, Virtual tour now includes full aircraft collection DAYTON — Soaring gas prices are making vacations and day trips tough, even if the destination is close by. One of our area’s best museum’s isn’t far from the iN75 area, but even just getting to Dayton is becoming costly. Thanks to an online feature, local residents can now experience the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force without even backing out of their driveway. The museum’s virtual tour is now fully embedded with audio and video hotspots and touch-screen devices, offering online visitors the opportunity to experience the entire museum. Located at www.nmusafvirtualtour.co m, the final two areas to be embedded — the Cold War Gallery, with more than 300 hotspots, and the Missile & Space Gallery, with close to 60 — are now interactive with initial materials, allowing users to click on an artifact or exhibit and access factsheets, audio tour podcasts with printable transcripts, videos and an interactive touch-screen display. Online visitors can see an array of aircraft and exhibits in the Cold War Gallery, which features an SR-71A Blackbird, B-1B Lancer, F-117F Nighthawk, A-10A Thunderbolt II and the world’s only permanent public display of a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Other exhibits include Office of Special Investigations, Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Warrior Airmen. The Apollo 15 Command Module and Mercury and Gemini capsules are located at the entrance to the Missile & Space

In the gallery are eight different rockets and missiles, ranging from the Minuteman to the Peacekeeper, and exhibits including astronaut food, re-entry vehicles, the Stargazer and Excelsior gondolas and the 5-star general’s insignia belonging to Gen. Henry “Hap” Arnold, which flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2011. The virtual tour features more than 360 aerospace vehicles and missiles on display at the museum amid more than 17 acres of indoor exhibit space. Thousands of personal artifacts, photographs and documents further highlight the people and events that comprise the Air Force storyline, from the beginnings of military flight to today’s war on terrorism. Creating and embedding material in the virtual
tour took more than a year. Consisting of nearly 75,000 files, and more than 1,200 clickable hotspots, the tour will be an ongoing process to update and add new content. “We still have a lot of work to do on this project,” said Bryan Carnes, who developed the tour along with a contractor. “Although we have the initial content available for our online visitors to view, we will be adding more video, audio, interactive and educational materials associated with specific aircraft and artifacts in the museum.” “The museum is always expanding and changing,” said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) John L. Hudson, museum director. “With the addition of several important artifacts like the three recently declassified National Reconnaissance Office satellites, acquisition of NASA’s Crew
Compartment Trainer, renovation of the Southeast Asia War Gallery and plans to construct a fourth building, the virtual tour will continue to evolve as well.” The museum offers online visitors various ways to experience the tour, whether it is downloading podcasts from iTunes or accessing the tour through handheld devices such as the iPad, Smartphones or other mobile technologies. An application also is in development for download on Android and iPhone devices and is anticipated to be available by the summer. The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission and parking are free. For more information about the museum, visit www.nationalmuseum.af.mil.
Amos Library team up for reading project
SIDNEY — The Shelby County Historical Society and Amos Memorial Public Library have joined forces to promote a reading project that began in late February and will culminate in April with a talk by the author. “Last year, there was an effort to get people to read ‘Laura’s Children: The Hidden Story of a Chinese Orphanage’ by Becky Cerling Powers,” said Tilda Phlipot, director of the historical society. “Because of that effort, Laura Richards, the subject of the book, has been selected for the Sidney City Schools Hall of Honor.” Richards, a 1911 graduate of Sidney High School, was a shy farm girl who moved to a remote North China village in 1929 to take in castaway babies. She had no visible means of support, yet despite famines, bandit invasions and wars, she saved the lives of 200 destitute children. When Powers returns to Sidney to accept the Hall of Honor award on behalf of the late Richards, who is a distant cousin of Powers, she will be accompanied by Xiaomei Lucas, the daughter of one of the orphans Richards saved. “I think it’s the right time to get more people to read the book,” Phlipot said. “It’s a very inspiring read.” Lucas is a lead QA engineer for GE Oil & Gas in Houston, Texas. She translated “Laura’s Children” into Chinese under the title “Faith Journey: Laura Richards and the Orphans
of Canaan Home in China.” Lucas grew up in mainland China. During China’s Cultural Revolution, she spent her schoolgirl years in political exile with her family in the remote province of Gansu. The family was exiled because her mother had been raised in a Christian orphanage by an American. Lucas and Powers will give a talk at the Amos Memorial Public Library April 18 at 1 p.m. Area residents who have not already read Laura’s Children are invited to do so and to attend the discussion. The talk will be free and open to the public. On April 19, the Shelby County Historical Society will host an open house in honor of Lucas and Powers from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ross Historical Center. “It has been a goal of ours to conduct a countywide read event. Partnering with the historical society to promote a book about a Shelby County resident makes the event even more exciting,” said Mark Kister, director of adult services. Several other book discussions will be held at Amos Library branches during the month of April. Copies of the book are available to borrow at the library, 230 E. North St., and to purchase at the Ross Historical Center, 201 N. Main Ave. For information about the reading project, call the Shelby County Historical Society at (937) 498-1653 or the Amos Memorial Public Library at (937) 492-8354.

Career fair at Spend an evening at Johnston Farm UVCC tomorrow PIQUA — The Upper Valley Career Center Adult Division is sponsoring a Technical Career Fair with the theme of “Putting Education to Work” Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. The event is open to the public and will feature training programs available for adults through the Career Center. Co-sponsored by the Sidney/Shelby County Chamber of Commerce, the Adult Basic Literacy/Education Program and Upper Valley Career Center, the Technical Career Fair will take place at the Applied Technology Center on the school’s campus in Piqua. “The Technical Career Fair is an excellent opportunity for the community to learn about locally-offered technical training for adults, meet our instructors and see learning labs,” said Rose Hemm, workforce/transitions development coordinator. Visitors to the Technical Career Fair will have the opportunity to take a career interest survey and learn about the careers/training that correspond with their interest. Training areas to be featured include health care — practical nursing, State Testing Nursing Assistant and home health aide; industrial — machine trades, maintenance, HVAC-R, boiler operation, safety and welding; and office technology — computer software, medical office, accounting and word processing. Attendees will learn about the registration process, financial aid, career advancement, GED testing, the Adult Basic Literacy/Education Program and the new “no cost”
Bridge Programs. “The Bridge Programs are an excellent way for adult learners to prepare for return to the classroom or a career,” Hemm said. Bridge programming currently available at the career center includes manufacturing readiness, medical readiness and pharmacy technician readiness. Upper Valley Career Center’s Adult Division regularly offers community-focused courses such as remedial driver, eLearning, safety related training and leadership and management skills. “Post secondary education provides real benefits for the individual participant and local businesses,” said Mike Shellabarger, Upper Valley Career Center Adult Division director. “Ready access to skills and a certified workforce continues to provide a win-win for the entire community.” A second career fair will be conducted for high school seniors on Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the same location. High school seniors interested in attending the Friday event are encouraged to contact their school counselor. For more details, call (937) 778-8419.
PIQUA — To commemorate the American Civil War and the role played by the Johnston Farm, the Johnston Farm Friends Council will present Frank Bullock, from Lancaster, as William Tecumseh Sherman in “An Evening with General Sherman” April 12 at the Piqua Country Club. The Johnston Farm served as Camp Piqua in the late summer of 1862 as both the 94th and 110th O.V.I. were mustered into the service of the Union. Some of the men who came into service at Camp Piqua later became a part of Sherman’s forces. One of John Johnston’s sons and several grandsons served the Union Army in the War Between the States, though not with General Sherman. Visit the Civil War page at www.johnstonfarmohio.com to learn more. “An Evening with General Sherman” is a major fundraiser to support the Johnston Farm and Indian Agency. This is the third year the Johnston Farm Friends Council has provided a unique opportunity to become acquainted with key figures from America’s rich history. Bullock is a lifelong central Ohioan, ironically from the same hometown as Sherman. After gradu-
ating from Rio Grande University, he obtained his master’s degree from Xavier University. He has been a student of the Civil War for several decades and a volunteer at the Sherman House in Lancaster since 2000. In 2003, Bullock began bringing Sherman to life for audiences. He also is involved in the drive to save a 3-inch Parrott Rifle cannon that Sherman donated to the Ben Butter-
OM R P
field Post of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1882. A dessert reception at 7:30 p.m. will precede Bullock’s lively and informative first-person presentation. Should guests wish, they may make reservations for a period dinner at the Piqua Country Club, to be served at 6 p.m., preceding the dessert reception and presentation. The presentation and

human emotions than it does “hacking and chopping,” he said, and the humor in it has been popular among readers. “I wrote awkward moments for characters that were humorous to get through the less exciting parts. That’s what seems to be the most popular. People say it’s hilarious,” he said. Sherman, who works in machine trades and practices martial arts, got into writing kind of by accident. He’s always been a reader but never wrote until he decided to help his son, a freshman at the time, with a short story assignment. They came up with an outline and each picked out sections to write. “As time went on, I had hundreds of pages, and he had a paragraph. It didn’t really turn out like we wanted it to, but I really enjoyed it,” he said. He decided to keep writing, jotting down things on paper during lunch breaks at work and at home when he couldn’t sleep. After he accumulated a pile of pages, his wife bought him a laptop. Sherman is anticipating the series to be six books altogether. He hopes the second will be out later this year. “The Bloodline Chronicles” (www.the-bloodlinechronicles.com) is available online at www.FriesenPress.com/bo okstore, www.amazon.com, www.Barnesandnoble.com, The Bookstore Store in Greenville, and Around About Books and Jay and Mary’s Book Center, both in Troy.

stops in Dayton
DAYTON — Presented by Magic Arts & Entertainment and Global Entertainment Group, the “Lord of the Dance” tour will perform one show only at the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center Monday at 7:30 p.m. Bill Clinton was President when Chicago native Michael Flatley created and launched “Lord of the Dance” (www.lordofthedance.com). Fifteen years later, the world’s highest grossing Irish dance show still is selling out arenas and theaters around the world. Generations of audiences — more than 160 million people from 68 countries — have seen “Lord of the Dance.” Ticket sales add up to more than $800 million worldwide. The show is a classic tale of good versus evil, based on Irish folklore that brings a passionate love story to life. Flatley, along with dance director Marie Duffy-Pask, hand picked the cast of more than 40 dancers. Each cast member has achieved individual recognition as a national or worldwide dance champion. Described by the New York Post as “fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining,” and by the Los Angeles Times as “a showpiece extravaganza,” “Lord of the Dance” is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance. The story is based upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of
dancers’ bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm. The action is played out over 21 scenes on a grand scale of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting. “It is really about our fans who are always hungry for Irish dance,” Flatley said about the success of the show. “Our dancers connect with the audience and have captivated a new generation. Fans appreciate that our dancers deliver a stunning interpretation of Ireland’s most famous legends via an eclectic blend of dance styles rooted in traditional Irish dance.” Lee Marshall, president of Magic Arts & Entertainment, the tour promoter and veteran of blockbuster entertainment events, agrees. “The championship dancers in our cast manage the impossible every night. Their collective spirit and energy takes audiences to a time and place that is as imaginative as it is inviting,” Marshall said. Flatley conceptualized and staged the show in a mere 16 weeks, but also paid particular attention to the costumes, lighting and staging, which are cinematic in scope. “Irish dance lovers and music fans alike will experience the engaging, rhythmic adventures that have helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight,” Flatley said. Tickets start at $40 are available at www.ticketcenterstage.com, at (937) 2283630 or at the Ticket Center Stage Box Office in the Schuster Center.

‘Bright Beginnings’ opens Art at the Mill season GREENVILLE — An exhibit dubbed “Bright Beginnings” will open the new season of art shows at historic Bear’s Mill this weekend. Featuring blown glass created by Cedarville resident Jim DeLange and the “Rhythms of the Earth” paintings of Rusty Harden, the show opens on Friday with a reception offering light appetizers and wine from 6 to 9 p.m. “Both of these artists produce joyous, brilliantly colored works, which will provide an appropriate celebratory effect to kick off our new season,” said Julie Clark, retail manager and gallery coordinator for Bear’s Mill. DeLange, who grew up with an interest in stained
glass, worked as a freelance photographer for 20 years. The Iowa native developed a passion for blown glass after taking a class at the Springfield Art Museum in 2007, where he was drawn into the endless possibilities offered. “Each time I sit at the bench, I am mesmerized by the beauty and power of this magnificent medium,” he said. “Jim’s gracefully elegant pieces take many shapes and forms and encompass all the colors of the rainbow. His luminous work will beautifully enhance our rustic gallery,” Clark said. Color and texture energize Harden’s “Rhythms of the Earth” series, which the Miami Valley painter
describes as “a loose interpretation and abstraction of minerals.” She says she appreciates the translucent quality of water media, and even when working in oils, she chooses paints that are water soluble. “The works in this show demonstrate where life takes my art, and are inspired by the earth’s minerals, bubbles and other quirky twists of nature,” Harden said. This exhibit will continue through April 22. Art At the Mill is on view during regular mill store hours, which are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Bear’s Mill is operated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a nonprofit organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s

Crescent Players present ugly duckling tale in ‘Honk!’ NEW BREMEN — When it comes to being a new parent, it is easy to worry about raising a new child. Beyond the basics of feeding and clothing a new baby, there are other problems parents face. How will other kids play with my son? Will the twins be made fun of in school? Will Joey be a great running back? To add another layer of problems, how would you react if you discovered that you were the parent of an ugly duckling? This is where the story begins in the Crescent Players’ spring musical “Honk!” The Crescent Players will present “Honk!” at New Bremen’s James F. Dicke Auditorium, 901 E. Monroe St, Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Based on the classic
fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling,” the story is adapted for children but is especially suited for parents. Upon discovering her “different” son Ugly, mother duck Ida must help Ugly adjust to life on the farm, even amidst the disapproval and prejudice of the other animals. Ugly’s big test comes when he is kidnapped by the cat, who would like to turn Ugly into a gourmet meal. Along the way, Ugly discovers who his true friends are, which include an army of bumbling geese, a fashionable bullfrog and some domesticated house pets. Ugly’s journey is a good lesson in tolerance, helping viewers to realize that different can be good if you give it a chance. “Honk!” is directed by Rachel Ring and Drew Ro-
chotte, with rehearsal pianist Jane Stachler. The orchestra director is James Huckemeyer. Main characters are Garrett Koesters as Ugly, with Haley Hogenkamp and Peter Blanco as his parents. Supporting roles are played by Taite McKinney, Eric Beckman, Grace Stammen, Melanie Balster, Krista Burrows Marcus Nitschke, Michaela Key, Grant Beair, Caleb Francis, Claire Borgerding, Brianna Wiedeman, Savanna Webb, Marc Rochotte, Desiree Blair, Allison Dilbone, Alisha Monnin, Kody Seger, Erica Stammen, Kelsey Ahrens, Chris Baker, Megan Timmerman, Kristen Hemmelgarn, Janelle Riethman, Vern Bergman and Shelly PROVIDED PHOTO Key.

Ohio ties Cheri may be new at Physiotherapy Associates, but she’s not a rookie in the field. Originally from the New Orleans area, she was recruited to Ohio by Good Samaritan Hospital after Hurricane Katrina. She worked at Good Samaritan’s outpatient centers in the Dayton area for five years. Her ties to Ohio grew deeper when she fell in love with a Piqua local. When the position opened up in Troy, it was the perfect fit for someone whose dream was to own her own clinic. As clinic director, Cheri is in charge of the Troy office, but has the help and guidance of the whole Physiotherapy Associates company, which has 650 clinics nationwide.

She got her doctorate from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in St. Augustine, Fla. She is a licensed physical therapist and a certified manual therapist. “This is one job where all my talents are being used,” she said. “I’m helping others, educating others, teaching them about their bodies and I’m moving all the time, not stuck behind a desk.”
Success stories The success stories Cheri has accumulated have proved she chose the right path. A few patients stick out in her memory. She treated a man who had injured his knee and had surgery. “I got him back to playing table tennis, and he and his partner won the gold in the Senior Olympics,” she said. “He came back to show me his medal.” She helped a woman who was suffering from fibromyalgia and was in

She said a lot of patients who are only treated with pain medications feel less pain, but that doesn’t help with the problem. “This woman didn’t have the knowledge or power to help herself. The beauty of physical therapy is that we teach patients how they can help themselves,” she said. Physiotherapy Associates is open Monday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call (937) 3329800 or visit www.physiocorp.com.

Sam Worthington in “Wrath of the Titans”
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus, is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. When Zeus is captured, the Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned. Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson Genre, rating: Adaptation/adventure, PG-13

Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier, and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.

Home and Away with Dana Wolfe For the love of mushrooms You either love them or hate them! Mushrooms seem to be on top 10 list for healthy eating. Mushrooms are fungi and an excellent source of nutrients. Some 38,000 varieties of this little gem are consumed every day, and cooked in so many different ways. Mark and I love them, and probably eat them every week in some form. Yesterday I fixed scrambled eggs with diced onion, green pepper and button mushrooms, served with a side of salsa and rye toast. It was a hit, and we will have it again. One of our favorite ways to eat mushrooms (large portabello) is to rub olive

oil on them, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder, and throw them on the grill filled with fresh spinach and grated farmers cheese. That, paired with a salad and crusty bread, is a filling alternative to steak on the grill. Try it! Mushrooms have been traced back to Egyptian pharaohs who used them for trading purposes for jewels. (In that case, give me the diamond ring … thank you!) There are a few tips when purchasing the shroom. Never wash them with water, just lightly brush off the dirt with a damp towel. Putting them in plastic containers in the refrigerator will keep them too wet. I wrap mine in a paper towel, and they keep for several day that way. I also keep some on hand in the freezer by sauteing them in light butter and freezing in a plastic container. Pull them out on the day that you need them, let them thaw and you have a delicious topping for steak or chicken. The most expensive mushroom by far is the truffle, which is grown underground and can be found only by pigs and trained dogs. They have excellent flavor and are considered a delicacy in France and Italy. Morel mushrooms are the ones most hunted in our area. I have to say, they too are delicious, but sometimes I am very cautious when given them. They can make you sick if you don’t pick the right ones. Basically, I like to buy my mushrooms in that
