Three churches, six days of fun, and a bunch of chicken Three historic churches, three summer festivals, an d all three serving their famous fried chicken is the heart and soul of All Saints Parish summer Fun in northern Dearborn County. It’s a big deal that begins in mid-July and doesn’t cool off until mid-August. The festivities begin in Dover at St. John’s on Saturday, July 15, and Sunday, July 16. It kicks off at 5 p.m. Saturday and lasts until midnight, featuring a beer garden, music, lunch stand, games, kiddie land, and quilt display. Come back for more, especially the chicken dinner, on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and stay after five because the music, beer, and games keep flowing. Sunday also will feature a country store.
St. John is located at 25743 Ind. 1 in Greater Guilford. You can’t rest long because the St Martin’s shindig closes out July on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30, in historic Yorkville. Saturday’s fun runs from 5 p.m. until midnight and includes food stand, beer garden, games, quilts, kiddie land and music. Sunday is an 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. affair, featuring a 5k run that starts at 9:30 a.m. The chicken dine is served from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. And all the great stuff on Saturday returns Sunday. The church is located at 8044 Yorkridge Road. Two weeks later, and you’re ready for the St. Paul Picnic on Saturday, Aug. 12, and Sunday, Aug. 13. Saturday’s fun begins
at 5 p.m. and wraps up midnight. There’s plenty of time to grab a pork tenderloin dinner, or maybe five or six dinners, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Stop by the beer garden, kiddie land, listen to great tunes, and grab a snack at the food stand. Sunday’s fun begins at 11 a.m. with a fired chicken dinner that lasts until 6 p.m. All the fun from Saturday makes a repeat appearance Sunday except the pork gives way to chicken. You go to go both days. Just sayin’. The church is located at 9788 North Dearborn Road. All chicken dinners are $12 for adults, and $6 for children 10 and under. Dine in with the comfort of air-conditioning or carry out.

VISIT THE MILAN '54 MUSEUM The Milan 54- Hoosiers Museum is home to the “Hoosiers Collection” the largest collection of “Hoosiers” movie props and uniforms known in existence. See the uniforms worn by your favorite Hickory Huskers like “Jimmy Chitwood,”“Buddy” and “Strap.” View Myra Fleener’s (Barbara Hershey) ¾ length “Betty Rose” vintage coat that she wore when she confronted Coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) about his past. The collection consists of more than 100 items, including many opposing team uniforms such as Cedar Knobs, Birdseye, Oolitic, South Bend Central, Decatur and Terhune. It includes jerseys, shorts, Chuck Taylor shoes, warm ups, pull-overs, cheerleader outfits and much more. These priceless artifacts are certified and a significant part of Indiana’s Basketball Heritage. The “Hoosier Collection” is something not to miss! The Milan 54- Museum is at 201 W. Carr St., Milan, and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Before Indiana adopted the high school class basketball tournament system, teams from all sizes of schools competed against each for the coveted title of Indiana State Basketball Champions. In 1954, the reign of the large Indiana high schools ended when the team from Milan High School in Milan, with an enrollment of 161, defeated the Muncie Central team which had 1,662 students. A shot taken in the last moments brought the score to Milan 32-Muncie 30. Basketball enthusiasts from throughout the United States cheered for the Milan Indiana Boys Basketball team and sent messages of congratulations. Thousands of fans gathered in Milan to watch as a huge parade brought the team back to town. In 1986, the small town’s accomplishment inspired the making of the movie Hoosiers and the fan base for the Milan Indians grew even more. People today come from all over the US and many countries to see the Milan ’54 Hoosiers Museum. For more information, visit www.milan54.org Meanwhile, the museum has released Dreams to Legends, a 24-minute official documentary of the 1954 Milan High School Boys State Championship Team. This fast-moving film includes footage from the state championship game, clips of interviews from 11 players
and of the following day’s celebration as an estimated 40,000 people descended upon Milan, a town of 1,000. “We are thrilled to have been able to preserve such an important part of Indiana’s sports history” said Marianne Wiggers, president of Milan 54, Inc. “People of all ages will be amazed and sports enthusiasts will love seeing this must- have piece of Indiana Basketball lore. This video allows the viewer to get the full picture of the Milan Miracle. The video is now playing daily in the museum’s theater room.” The video was created and produced by Sentimental Productions of Cincinnati, Ohio. Funding came through a special grant from the Efroymson Family Fund of Indianapolis. A trailer of the video may be viewed at www.milan54.org. The full version of Dreams to Legends now is available, and may be purchased through the museum’s website, or by visiting the museum at 201 West Carr St., Milan Indiana 47031, or by calling the museum at 812654-2772.

Queen City Shows TRI-STATE ANTIQUE MARKET The Tri-State Antique Market will begin its 2017 season at the Lawrenceburg Fairgrounds on Sunday, May 7. The Market earns its title as “Indiana’s largest antiques and vintage-only market” with nearly 250 vendors selling everything from early American primitives to mid-century modern at each of six monthly shows. A generous and eclectic mix of furnishings, jewelry, decorative arts, primitives, textiles, collectible housewares, military relics, architectural and industrial remnants, garden decor, and pop culture memorabilia ensures something for everyone’s taste and budget. The Market has been an important regional resource for over 30 years and attracts nearly 20,000 visitors each season. Longtime patrons include advanced collectors, antiques retailers, DIY home decorators, arts enthusiasts, and all those who appreciate the history and character of time-tested cultural artifacts. Lawrenceburg is conveniently located in the southeast corner of Indiana near the borders with Ohio and Kentucky, making it an easy drive from points in all three states. The city’s fairgrounds are just off U.S. 50, approximately one mile west of exit #16 off I-275. The modern, five acre facility features paved walkways, shaded groves, large open-air pavilions, and contemporary facilities. All areas are wheelchair accessible. Tri-State Antique Market sessions are always held on the first Sunday of the month, May through October. Over half of the vendor displays are indoors or under cover, so the event takes place regardless of weather. Public admission hours are from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM EDT with earlybird shoppers admitted during dealer set-up beginning at 6:00 AM. A $3.00 adult (over age 18) entry fee is charged at all times. Attended pets are welcomed. Complete Tri-State Antique Market information, including driving directions, area accommodations, and a photo gallery of past Market finds is available at queencityshows. com. Co-managers Aaron Metzger (513-353-4135) or Bruce Metzger (513-738-7256) may also be contacted by phone for additional details.

Adventure How To:
Capturing Fireworks Wondering about photographing fireworks on 4th of July, New Year or some other event / occasion? In this quick article, I will provide some basic tips on how to best capture fireworks, what type of equipment to use and what camera settings to use during the process. Although the process is relatively simple, there are some things that might be worth considering, as outlined below.
1) Find the Best Location The first thing you need to determine is where you are going to stand. I would not recommend standing too close to fireworks, because you will be constantly looking up and eventually you will get tired from trying to photograph the fireworks. In addition, if it is too close, you might need a wide-angle lens to fit the action into the frame, which might present another problem – you might end up including unwanted objects like buildings and trees into the frame. Therefore, the best thing to do is to stand further away in an open area (with short or no trees), ideally at a spot that gives you a maximum of 45 degrees view angle relative to the ground, as shown in the diagram below. The further you stand, the lower the angle and the more focal length (zoom) you will need. Obviously, each situation is different, so just try to find a good spot with clear views of the sky in an open, unobstructed area that can give you a nice angle to photograph the fireworks.
2) What Camera to Take The good news is that you don’t need an expensive and fancy camera to photograph fireworks – any camera that allows shooting in manual mode will work perfectly fine. Many of the point and shoot cameras do, so double check your manual and see how you can switch to manual mode. Another good thing about shooting fireworks, is that you will be shooting at lowest sensitivity levels (ISO), which means that there will be very minimal amounts of grain, if any. So you don’t have to worry about your camera capabilities, besides being able to switch to manual mode and preferably being able to hard set your camera to a low ISO value like 100. If you have a DSLR, you are all set, because you can do all of this very quickly. Some point and shoot cameras even have a “Fireworks Mode”, which works great and does not require you to change any settings on
the camera.
3) What Lens to Use If you have a point and shoot camera, make sure that its lens can do at least 5x optical zoom, not digital. Optical zoom means that the camera lens will physically move to get more reach, while digital zoom means that the camera will simply cut out the image corners to make it seem like you are closer. If you have a DSLR, you might wonder what lens to take with you. I have been shooting fireworks for several years now and I find that telephoto zoom lenses above 100mm work best for fireworks. If you have a full-frame camera, my personal favorite is the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR or the Nikon 70-300mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, unless you are planning to be close to a relatively well-lit location like downtown and want to capture a wider image, in which case a shorter focal length zoom like 24-70mm would be more appropriate. The above exposure was 25 seconds, because I waited for the fireworks for about 20 seconds before they fired, so the first 20 seconds were just to expose the downtown area. Why a telephoto zoom lens? Because you want the fireworks to fill the frame instead of looking rather small with all kinds of badly-lit foreground elements. In most cases, you will primarily be zooming in to capture the action.
4) Other equipment
• Tripod – an absolute must. Get one if you do not already have one, since you won’t get any good pictures by just hand-holding your camera. Remember, you will be using low ISO levels and long shutter speeds above 1 second, which means that hand-holding is not an option – too much camera shake will spoil your images. • Remote shutter release – very helpful to have one, especially if it allows shooting in “Bulb” mode (DSLR only), but not required.
5) Camera settings First, set your camera on the tripod and connect the remote shutter release (if available). Then, change the following camera settings:

“Capturing Fireworks” From Page 36 1. ISO – start out by setting your camera ISO to its base ISO level (100 on most cameras including Canon and 200 on most modern Nikon DSLRs) and turn off “Auto ISO“, if you have it turned on. 2. Image Format – if your camera has the capability, shoot in RAW format instead of JPEG. 3. White Balance – if you shoot in RAW, set your White Balance to “Auto” (you can change it later). If you shoot in JPEG, set your White Balance to “Daylight” – it works well in most cases. 4. Noise Reduction – set “Long Exposure Noise Reduction” to “Off” (if available). Keeping it “On” will significantly slow down your exposures, which is unnecessary. 5. Camera Mode – switch your camera mode to “Manual Mode”. 6. Shutter Speed and Aperture – set your shutter speed to 3 seconds and aperture between f/8 and f/10.
6) Lens Focusing and Vibration Reduction/Image Stabilization This part is tricky, because you need to make sure that your focus is correctly acquired, whether you are shooting a point and shoot or DSLR camera. Options with point and shoot cameras are rather limited, so you will have on camera’s autofocus system. Start focusing when there is a bright explosion the camera can use for focusing on and then press the shutter button. After the photo is taken, review it on the LCD and make sure that the fireworks are in focus. If you are shooting a DSLR camera, start out by setting your lens focus to infinity and then take a picture. Many modern lenses allow focusing “beyond infinity”,which might screw up the focus on your images. What I typically do to make sure that my focus is 100% accurate, is focus on a bright explosion using the camera’s autofocus system (by half-pressing the shutter button or pressing the “AF-ON” button), then once the focus is good, I change the lens focus to manual (“M”). Since I do not move, my focus from that point on will be
accurate and won’t change, unless I zoom in/out (in which case I would have to move from Manual focus to Autofocus and try again). If for some reason you cannot acquire focus on fireworks, try focusing on a brightly-lit subject that is far away and see if the images are in focus. If you are shooting with a camera body or lens that has Image Stabilization (or Vibration Reduction in the Nikon world), you need to turn it off – it is of no use when shooting on a tripod.
7) Framing your shots Don’t worry much about framing your shots in the very beginning – just observe the sky and try to fit the initial explosions. You will be constantly zooming in/out and re-framing, so there is really no set rule for this. Your objective is to try to fit the explosions into your frame, from the beginning to the end of the explosion. If the fireworks appear smaller, it is OK – you can crop your images later.
8) Shooting the fireworks When the fireworks show begins, take a picture during a bright explosion and see if the image is underexposed or overexposed. If the image is too bright, keep your shutter speed the same and try increasing the aperture to a higher number like f/16. If the image is too dark, try increasing your shutter speed to a longer period like 4-6 seconds. Keep in mind that the longer your shutter speed, the more action your camera will capture, which is not necessarily what you want – too long of an exposure might make fireworks look too blurry. I generally try to keep the shutter speed below 4-5 seconds when there is plenty of action. Once the exposure looks good, take a series of shots and try lowering shutter speeds to 1-2 seconds and increasing them to 5-6 seconds to get different types of shots. If you have a remote shutter release and your camera supports “Bulb” in Manual Mode, then try it out by opening up the shutter at the beginning of the explosion and then release it when it ends. You don’t want the exposure to be too long, because the sky will brighten up and the smoke will also be very visible (you want the sky to look pitch black).
