Major acts to play Covington Summer Bash The Return, Red Hot Rhythm Review, Motown Sounds of Touch and more on lineup BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor COVINGTON — The Covington Development Council has put together a festival for all ages to enjoy with live music, a parade, food, carnival rides and fireworks. Covington Summer Bash will bring the downtown streets alive July 6 and 7. Covington celebrated its 175th anniversary in a similar fashion, and there has been a high demand for another summer event to bring the community together. “The Bash is a byproduct of the 175th Anniversary Celebration in 2010. There was such a public outcry to have some kind of festival again,” said Chris Haines, chairman of the festival committee. Live bands with big reputations will be the highlight of the festival. The headlining band is The Return, a Beatles tribute group who played in Covington for the anniversary celebration. They will take the stage July 7 at 8 p.m. “I couldn’t go anywhere in town without people saying they wanted to see them again,” Haines said. He also noted the band’s presentation will be different than when they were here in 2010. They only performed music from the early years of the Beatles then, and during the Summer Bash, they will start their set with early music and finish the last half with songs from the later years. The Return has played everywhere from Liverpool to the studios at Abbey Road. The band headlined Hard Rock Cafe’s 30th Anniversary Tour, and appeared on ABC’s “Good
Morning America.” Five other musical acts are on the schedule for the weekend. On July 6, the Motown Sounds of Touch will play from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The group honors music from the era of the Four Tops and the Temptations. Following their set will be Red Hot Rhythm Review from 9:30 p.m. to midnight. Both bands have played on the downtown square in Troy. “It’s very authentic, very good music,” Haines said. On July 7, the American Kings will kick things off on the stage from 2 to 4 p.m. The ’50s and ’60s rock band dresses the part. Popular local band The Drive will play from 5 to 7 p.m. The Return will take the stage from 8 to 9:45 p.m., followed by another popular local band, Renegade, which will play after the fireworks from 10:45 p.m. to midnight. The stage will be set up at the corner of Wright and High streets downtown. The number of bleachers available will be limited, so concert-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. The rest of the festival will be set up on a surrounding three-block area, with rides and games in the back lot of Covington Middle School. In addition to the entertainment, the Summer Bash committee wanted to be sure there was something for kids at the festival. Haines, who grew up in Covington, always enjoyed the Fourth of July festivals and firemen’s conventions that used to take place in the village, but those things fell by the wayside throughout the years. “Covington has been
able to bring in big acts because of the generous support they received from the community. All the funding for the festival was raised locally through businesses and organizations in and around Covington. And local groups with booths at the festival do not have to pay a vendor fee. “This Summer Bash would not be possible without a really good group of individuals who’ve helped a lot. It’s definitely not a one person thing,” Haines PROVIDED PHOTO said.

We can chacha to that song.’” Bob and Rosie, who live just north of Troy, have been dancing together since they took a ballroom class at the Hayner Center 20 years ago. They never stopped dancing, and they have been teaching for six years. In addition to the Hayner Center, they also teach classes at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 456 Woodman Drive, Dayton. This is the third year the couple has offered a special summer session of classes. They teach eightweek sessions of ballroom and Latin classes from September through June, with this fall’s first session beginning Sept. 5. Those
students learn how to waltz, fox trot, swing, rumba and cha-cha. Altogether, the McCrady’s offer 19 different dances. They also are available for wedding choreography and private lessons. No previous dance experience is necessary to take the July classes, and ages 15 and older are welcome. Rosie encourages people to come with a partner, but singles always are welcome.

“People say that their drives through the countryside are boring, that there’s nothing to see,” the artist said. “My work reminds you to pay attention to what is usually overlooked.” Sculptor Thomas Bartel, a high school art teacher in Richmond, Ind., takes his central inspiration from his family, but trees that “rise to the heavens representing the splendor and wonder of the world” also inspire his work. He says wood is one of the most fertile materials on Earth, embodying every characteristic known to mankind. “The strength and grandeur of a tree, its quietness and grace — these also represent the qualities of the human race and embody all God’s creation,” he said. “The texture of the wood is my outlet for expression.” The exhibit is on view during regular Mill store hours, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, through July 22.

SIDNEY — A Sidney woman has self-published a children’s book to show kids life lessons while also teaching them how to keep the environment clean. Kelly Renee’s first book, “Litter Bug,” is available now on Amazon.com as an e-book for Kindle. She hopes to have a paperback edition available soon. The book follows Thomas, a young boy who doesn’t fit in with other kids. He befriends a candy wrapper that was stuck to his shoe. The wrapper teaches Thomas about life as a piece of trash, how trash eats, falls in love and ultimately how it dies. Through their adventures together, which include setting up a “trash memorial” to not only clean up town, but also get trash to be with their own kind, Thomas discovers how to be himself and makes a few human friends along the way. Renee wanted to show children about life, but knew she had to do it in a way that kids could understand, which is why she decided to write through a piece of trash. “It also is a valuable lesson to the boy about littering,” she said. The book is aimed at children, but Renee has friends of all ages who have read and enjoyed her work. One friend read it to her kindergarten class, and Renee’s nephews, ages 5 and 7, liked the book. “Lots of my friends read it, and the first thing they
GREENVILLE — Lynn Retson’s graphite drawings and wood sculptures by Thomas Bartel will be featured in the upcoming Art at the Mill exhibit at Bear’s Mill opening Friday with an artists’ reception from 6 to 9 p.m. According to Julie Clark, retail manager and gallery coordinator, the artists bring sophisticated styles to their seemingly straightforward work. “Their work is pleasing and accessible, but you soon discover there’s much more than immediately meets the eye,” Clark said. “Tom’s wood sculptures are abstract, yet realistic; Lynn’s drawings depict ordinary landscapes, but inspire a second — and third — look.” Lynn Retson resides in Porter, Ind. Her frequent drives through rural landscape intrigued and inspired her to capture the poetic beauty she sees from her car window. Many viewers are amazed to discover that these highly detailed graphite and black pastel drawings are not black and white photographs.

SCB to play for farmer’s market The Sidney Civic Band will perform a special concert to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Great Downtown Sidney Farmer’s Market this Saturday. The show will take place from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on the Shelby County Courthouse Square. While not on the band’s regular performance schedule, several members are volunteering their time to help mark the milestone of the downtown summer shopping season. Downtown Sidney Business Association Director Maureen Smelewski said the impromptu concert will be welcome by both vendors and shoppers alike. Beginning three decades ago, long before the local food movement became trendy, the Great Downtown Sidney Farmer’s Market has brought together farmer and shopper, providing a venue for sellers of locally produced and raised goods to connect with their customers on a more personal level. Today, vendors offer fresh produce, baked goods, crafts and more from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday through Oct. 13. as chief arranger for the United States Army Field Band and Soldier’s Chorus in Washington, D.C. He has been one of the music arrangers for the Ohio State University Marching Band for the past 16 years and began arranging for them during his first two years of service as the band’s graduate assistant director. McCoy’s arrangements have been performed in all 50 states and around the world. Audience members will remember him from the band’s Sept. 11 10th Anniversary Commemorative Concert, where the band performed Taps that was commissioned specifically for that concert. He will direct two of his works, “Fanfare for the Capitol Steps” and “Beautiful Ohio,” before leading “America the Beautiful” and “God Bless America” at Friday’s concert. “The band is so grateful that Sgt. Major McCoy
would lend his time and significant talent to the concert,” said Philip Chilcote, the band’s musical director. “The audience from our Sept. 11 concert was genuinely moved by the beautifully arranged music that he created and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house after Taps was played. We are very excited to have him return to Sidney and everyone is in for a real treat.” As a complement to the concerts, owners of vintage hot rod cars are invited to bring their classic automobiles and park them around the square before and during the concert. To be added to the band’s email list, email Sherrie Casad-Lodge at sclodge@woh.rr.com. Any questions regarding the band can be sent to Phil Chilcote at chilcote@woh.rr.com or visit www.facebook.com/sidneycivicband.

Get to know Ohio’s most active lake Find fun, luxury living and unique gifts around Indian Lake If you’re looking for a place to boat, fish, swim, camp, hike, picnic or shop this summer, you need only travel up to Indian Lake. This community in Logan County, north of Jackson Center and about an hour from Troy, has been called the most active lake in the state of Ohio. I took a drive up to Indian Lake last week to meet with a few businesses and learn more about the area. The first thing I saw when the water came into view were two jet skis whizzing around the lake, and I thought, “Man, I wish that’s what I was doing on a hot Wednesday afternoon!” But my afternoon didn’t disappoint. I spent time learning about upcoming events at the local chamber of commerce, checking out a model home at the brand new Longview Cove development and browsing the unique merchandise at McDonald’s Pottery and Gifts. Visitor’s guide It was lucky that my first stop was the Indian Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, because I picked up a visitor’s guide full of information and history about the area, as well as a map, which became useful later on. Indian Lake was formed when much of the state was covered by a glacier, which receded about 10,000 years ago and left behind a large swamp and many smaller lakes. The water has served many purposes throughout the years, including being
a water supply for the Miami and Erie Canal and being the home of Sandy Beach Amusement Park, which offered boat tours around the lake. Today, Indian Lake is a resort community with hundreds of family-owned businesses, 4,000 camp sites and events almost every weekend in the summer. The local chamber of commerce is responsible for many of those events, with the goal to bring tourists and vacationers to town to help fill up local businesses. The chamber has more than 400 members in the area’s five communities, which are Lakeview, Russells Point, Belle Center, Huntsville and Lewistown. Executive Director Pam Miller said the chamber’s members are mostly small mom and pop businesses that include restaurants, shops and everything in between. Getting away About 50 percent of the community’s residents are seasonal vacationers, who have no problem leaving their troubles at home. “It’s so laid back and relaxing here. It seems like everybody that comes here leaves where they came from behind,” she said. Many of the visitors come from the Miami and Shelby County areas, Miller said. She has been
with the chamber for eight years, previously working and living in Piqua. The lake is one of the cleanest in the state of Ohio. It has not had any problems with algae, and the water is so clean and clear that weeds were growing at the bottom. Through local donations, the Indian Lake Watershed Project purchased a

Indian Lake summer of 2002. Longview Cove sits near O’Connor Point, which was home to O’Connor’s Landing, a popular restaurant and lodge that was destroyed by fire in 1985. The new homes that are being built are constructed by Shreves Construction, of Sidney, and HBS Development, which has worked on other areas at Indian Lake. Waterfront living I met with Nicki New, office manager for Shreves Construction, at one of the model homes in the development. The
25 acres near the waterway leading to the North Fork of the Great Miami River, bordering state park land and a wetland preserve. Indian Lake’s main body of water can be quickly accessed by the waterway. The homes start in the $400,000 range, and are rated five-star energy efficient, built green and require low maintenance. Each single-family custom home has its private beach and a dock with two boat slips. An optional deck covering the boat slips is available. The gated community also features a club house with a fitness room, heated pool and private boat ramp. An association maintains the lawns, landscaping and New snow removal. Love the water All of those amenities are sure to draw homebuyers, but the main reason people are interested in living at Longview Cove is the lake itself. “I think most people love being on the water,” New said. “Indian Lake is convenient due to its location. It pulls families from Columbus, Lima and the Dayton area. It’s a quick getaway. Within an hour you can be sitting back relaxing by the lake or enjoying the fun atmosphere that Indian Lake has to offer. It’s where the hustle and bustle of everyday life fades away, and you have the opportunity to surround yourselves with family and friends enjoying laughs, sharing of stories or creating new ones.

home was beautiful with an open kitchen and living area, large master suite and guest bedroom on the main floor, with walk-out areas onto a large deck overlooking the water.
