Ording’s celebrates 50 years in Troy Brother-sister duo now runs store their grandfather started BY LINDY WAGNER iN75 Editor TROY — Businesses have to grow and evolve over time in order to survive, and Ording’s Party Time in Troy is a prime example. The company is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month, while looking back at how a simple fruit market turned into a deli and fullservice catering business. Brother-sister team Pete Ording and Jackie Ording Michael now run the company their grandfather, Herman Ording, started 50 years ago. Herman started a fruit market out of the building at 810 S. Market St., where the business still is located today. In addition to fruit, he sold vegetables, plants and Christmas trees. Herman’s son Joe, Pete and Jackie’s father, started working at the market as he grew up. He decided to add pizza to give pizzahungry customers more choices in town, since there were only three other pizzerias at the time. The pizza, made with a special recipe created in house, remains one of Ording’s most popular items today. As the pizza business grew, Herman built a wall to separate the carry-out pizzeria from the fruit market. A small deli section soon followed, and eventually groceries. Pete and Jackie remember their dad telling the story of how the business grew. “A man kept coming in and wanted a hot ham and cheese sandwich, but dad said he didn’t make ham and cheese sandwiches,”
“We feel connected to the community because we know these people.” — Jackie Ording Michael Jackie said. “The guy said, ‘You’ve got ham, you’ve got cheese and you’ve got buns. Just throw it in the oven.’” The hot ham and cheese sandwich was added to the menu, and the steak deluxe followed as Joe continued to experiment with ingredients he had in the store. The steak deluxe, complete with cheese, mushrooms, mushroom gravy, green peppers, banana peppers and onions, has been a top seller ever since. In the mid ’60s, Ording’s added another item to its menu that has become a staple. “We’ve got wonderful fried chicken with a special breading,” Jackie said. Potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw and baked beans, all homemade right at Ording’s, also are favorites with customers. The regulars who have been eating them up for decades will know the recipes haven’t changed. As time went on, Joe started picking up small catering jobs in the ’70s, doing party trays and finger sandwiches. As word spread, Ording’s started catering company picnics and weddings.

Jackie Ording Michael makes wraps at Ording’s Party Time while her brother Pete Ording watches.The sibling team now runs the business, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month. Ording’s started as a family business and has remained that way throughout 50 years. As soon as Pete and Jackie were old enough, Joe started bring them into the store to help out. “He started training and molding us when we were 10 years old,” Jackie said, remembering summers when she would work for a week and then Pete would work for a week, and so on. When Pete went to college and Jackie went to medical assisting school, they had no intention of taking over the business, but once they finished school, they both decided it was what they wanted to do. With them back on board, Ording’s expanded
its catering business, adding a box truck and a smoker for hog roasts to its fleet. Hog roasts are so popular in our community, Ording’s does an average of one each week during the summer. Since his children are now running the operation, Joe has gradually retired, but will never truly be out of the business. He spends the summers on Lake Erie chartering a fishing boat, but stays in Troy during the winter and helps out at the store occasionally, though Jackie admits he winds up doing more chit chatting with customers than working. “It’s in his blood,” Jackie said. “He likes talking to people and meeting new people.”
The fourth generation of Ordings has already started learning the business. Pete’s son Nick, a high school senior, started helping out when he was 12, and now works part time at the store. Other Ording’s employees are as good as family. Brit Durand has been with Ording’s for 47 years, and though retired now, still works part time. Barbara Broughton has been with Ording’s for more than 25 years. Both Broughton and Durand helped train Pete and Jackie. “We’ve been fortunate a lot of the help we’ve had out here have been long term,” Jackie said. Pete has a simple message to the customers who’ve been stopping in at
Ording’s for 50 years. “We couldn’t be here without you,” he said. Because the employees at Ording’s have been there so long, and the customers keep coming back generation after generation, there’s a friendly rapport between everyone who walks in the door. “We feel connected to the community because we know these people. If they don’t come in we wonder what happened,” Jackie said. To celebrate its milestone, Ording’s is hosting a 50th anniversary event this Friday and Saturday with food specials from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. both days. On Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., music will be provided by PHonics and Lucky the Hobo Clown will entertain with balloons. Door prizes will be given away to those who are present. Also this Friday and Saturday, Ording’s is offering 50 percent off on up to three menu items. The percentage will be taken off the three highest priced items in an order. Also, today and Thursday customers can get $2 off any large pizza. Ording’s currently is selling raffle tickets to benefit El Sombrero’s Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Prizes include a hog roast by Ording’s, a $350 value; an Ohio State party package, a $100 value; and an “I Miss Summer” Picnic Pak, a $75 value. Winners do not have to be present. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. For more information or to place an order, call Ording’s at (937) 335-8368.

Dayton Opera’s ‘Lucia Di Lammermore’ promises magnificence DAYTON — Dayton Opera will present Gaetano Donizetti’s chilling tragedy “Lucia di Lammermoor,” performed in Italian with English subtitles, Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Mead Theatre of the Schuster Center. The opera kicks off the passionate 2012-2013 Occupy Opera season. In this opera based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott, madness — or at the very least confusion — is running rampant. For starters, although all the characters are Scottish, their first names are Italian and, like television’s “Mad Men,” men rule the day, and women are pawns as marriages are arranged to create power-
ful family alliances. Obviously there’s no eHarmony, not even Match.com. Here’s the drill: Enrico Ashton of Lammermoor has plans for his sister, Lucia, to marry Arturo Bucklaw. But she only has eyes for Edgardo, a hunter who rescued her from a mad bull, even though a ghostly maiden has warned her that loving Edgardo will only end in tragedy. To trick her into marrying Arturo, Lucia’s brother hands her a forged letter from Edgardo maintaining that he loves another woman. Near suicidal, Lucia nonetheless consents to marrying Arturo. At the wedding ceremony Edgardo suddenly bursts
in, sees Lucia’s signature on the marriage contract, tears his ring from her finger, curses her and runs out. In a word, he’s mad. So, what’s a girl to do? You guessed it. Now completely bonkers, Lucia stabs and kills her husband on their wedding bed and returns to the wedding party blood-spattered and not realizing what she’s done. Then in one of the most famous and hair-raising mad scenes in the history of theater, Lucia, in a dream-like state, recalls her first meeting with Edgardo as if he’s the one that she’s married. Having reached her limit she collapses to the floor dead and, to make things
worse, when Edgardo learns she’s dead, he kills himself. All kidding aside, the suspense, tension and sheer terror in this opera is palpable, but above all the music is absolutely magnificent. “It takes truly talented singing artists to recreate the masterful music of Donizetti’s demanding score, and that’s what we have in our Dayton Opera cast,” said Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston. “We are excited to have company debuts in three of the leading roles of this production, soprano Angela Mortellaro as Lucia, tenor Joshua Kohl as Edgardo, and baritone Lee Poulos as Enrico. Returning to
Dayton Opera in the role of Raimondo is bass Matthew Burns.” Dayton Opera favorites Kathleen Clawson, stage director, and Joseph Mechavich, conductor, who collaborated on last season’s “La Bohème,” return to lend their talented direction. Enjoy pre-performance entertainment and foodby-the-bite and beverages on sale in the Wintergarden beginning one hour prior to the performance. For ticket holders, a 20minute opera preview also is offered one hour prior to both performances. Tickets range from $36 to $92 and are available at Ticket Center Stage by phone at (937) 228-3630 or online at www.dayton-
opera.org. Friday Nite $15 Tweet Seats, which allows muted mobile devices during the performance and is sponsored by DP&L, also are available. Senior, teacher and student discounts are available at the box office. Attendees are invited to attend the cast party following Friday’s performance at the Dayton Racquet Club. Leadership Sponsors for “Lucia di Lammermoor” are Miriam Rosenthal Memorial Trust Fund, Caryl D. Philips and Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. Entrepreneurship Circle Sponsors are Vectren and Dayton Marriott. Orchestral Music Sponsor is the Jesse Philips Opera Fund of the Dayton Foundation.

West Milton Players to present ‘Coming Back to Jersey’ BY AMY MAXWELL For iN75 WEST MILTON — The West Milton Players are gearing up for their upcoming production of “Coming Back to Jersey,” thanks to a few committed players and support from the school and city. The production of “Coming Back to Jersey” will mark the West Milton Players 35th season. The cast is Ron Ecklebarger as Howard Karchmer, Jeanette McDaniel as Norma Karchmer, Valerie Beverly as Dorothy Arnfield, Jasmine Beverly as Louise Karchmer, Ken Ecklebarger as Freddy Zuckerman and Jamie McQuinn as Sidney Hersch. The performances are at the new high school auditorium, 7610 Milton-Potsdam Road. Dates and times are this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., this Sunday at 3 p.m., Nov. 2 and 3
at 8 p.m. and Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $8 each and will be sold at the door only. The West Milton Players began in 1977 when a few members of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of West Milton decided they wanted to get together to perform productions of plays and musicals. It grew to attract members from the local area, some with theater backgrounds and some who just enjoyed performing. Recently, though, interest has waned. “We had a huge, huge following for a very long time. We got to a point where about eight or nine years ago, we lost a lot of the membership, nobody really wanted to be in charge, nobody wanted to do the productions,” said Jeanette McDaniel, West Milton Players board member who plays Norma in the upcoming production. The Players were McDaniel’s
first entrance into the theater. “I don’t have an educational background in theater, but I’ve sang all my life,” McDaniel said. “It started out with going to the West Milton Players productions with my in-laws and as I sat in the audience I thought to myself I could do that, it looked like fun.” McDaniel said there has been a drop in interest of community theater in general. Add to that board members busy with their families and own lives, and it looked like the West Milton Players might drop from existence. “I thought to myself, I want to keep it going if I can for a little bit longer. So I said I would take over,” McDaniel said. Other board members who wanted to keep the Players alive are Tonya Cross and Eileen Pflum, as well as upcoming production director Dave Nickel.
“It would be a shame to see an arts program like the West Milton Players not be around anymore,” Cross said. “Being from a small town, it is a way to bring something more to the area.” The village of West Milton and Milton-Union schools have stepped up to offer their support for the Players as well. “Matt Kline, the new city manager, has donated a space for us to store our costumes, props and stage flats. We have had to rent a space for years for our equipment,” McDaniel said. “I am so thrilled that he was so accommodating to want to help us succeed and continue.” Milton-Union Superintendent Dr. Ginny Rammel also has been an encouragement for the Players. “She is very anxious to have us use the new high school for our productions. She is very
community oriented and wants to see us continue performing also,” McDaniel said. “She has been very gracious and encouraging to keep community theater alive. She even suggested they put our performance information in the newsletter that goes out to the entire district.” Director Dave Nickel performed in the same production four years ago at the Dayton Playhouse. Nickel originates from Pennsylvania but has been living in the area for about nine years and now hails from Tipp City. Nickel brings plenty of performance experience to his second experience as director. His directing debut was the production of “Marrying Terry” in Brookville, although his first performance was with the Tipp City Players. For more information, contact McDaniel at (937) 335-2554.

lage Dec. 1-2 that offers horse drawn carriage rides, private home tours that will certainly put you in the Christmas spirit, carolers, craftspeople, music, entertainment and even live reindeer. The last time I visited Zoar, I bought a cookbook, of course, that I use quite a bit. I will share a few of the recipes with you. The Zoar Tavern, which is under the new name Canal Tavern of Zoar, celebrates the facts that the Ohio and Erie Canalway Towpath Trail passes directly in front of the restaurant. Items on their menu include pan-seared salmon filet, vegetable spaetzle and rosemary chicken. Zoar is located on Ohio 212, just 3 miles southeast of exit 93 off Interstate 77, approximately 10 miles south of Canton. Start planning now to put a little Christmas joy in your day by visiting one of my favorite places. For more information, call (800) 874-4336. Happy cooking! Email me at dwolfe@tdnpublishing.com.

When my sister lived in Canton, Ohio, we would always visit a small quaint town nearby called Zoar, about 90 miles south of Cleveland. Recently, it has been named in the 2012 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places due to the fact of a failing levee that controls flooding on the nearby Tuscarawas River. Zoar was founded in 1817 by German separatists seeking religious freedom. There were originally 5,000 acres, and the land was purchased for $3 an acre. They arrived in late October and had to quickly start building shelters for their families before the winter months came. Today, there are approximately 75 to 85 families living in the original homes built back in the 1817s of which most have been preserved and restored to their original beauty. When you visit this small Ohio town, you are truly set back in time. Almost all of the buildings in Zoar are privately owned, which include quaint shops, restaurants and bed and breakfasts. They offer everything from quilt shops, canned goods, candle shops, antiques, bulk spices and baked goods. Around this time of year I start getting emails asking where is a nice place to visit during the holidays. This is one of my top 10! They have a Christmas in Zoar Vil-
