COVINGTON —TheCovington DevelopmentCouncil has put together afestival for all ages to enjoywith live music, a parade,food, carnival rides andfireworks. Covington Sum-mer Bash will bring thedowntown streets aliveJuly 6 and 7.Covington celebrated its

175th anniversary in asimilar fashion, and therehas been a high demandfor another summer eventto bring the community to-gether.“The Bash is a byprod-

uct of the 175th Anniver-sary Celebration in 2010.There was such a publicoutcry to have some kind offestival again,” said ChrisHaines, chairman of thefestival committee.Live bands with big rep-

utations will be the high-light of the festival. Theheadlining band is The Re-turn, a Beatles tributegroup who played in Cov-ington for the anniversarycelebration. They will takethe stage July 7 at 8 p.m.“I couldn’t go anywhere

in town without people say-ing they wanted to seethem again,” Haines said.He also noted the band’s

presentation will be differ-ent than when they werehere in 2010. They only per-formed music from theearly years of the Beatlesthen, and during the Sum-mer Bash, they will starttheir set with early musicand finish the last half withsongs from the later years.The Return has played

everywhere from Liverpoolto the studios at AbbeyRoad. The band headlinedHard Rock Cafe’s 30th An-niversary Tour, and ap-peared on ABC’s “Good

Morning America.”Five other musical acts

are on the schedule for theweekend. On July 6, theMotown Sounds of Touchwill play from 7 to 8:30p.m. The group honorsmusic from the era of theFour Tops and the Tempta-tions. Following their setwill be Red Hot RhythmReview from 9:30 p.m. tomidnight. Both bands haveplayed on the downtownsquare in Troy.“It’s very authentic, very

good music,” Haines said.On July 7, the American

Kings will kick things offon the stage from 2 to 4p.m. The ’50s and ’60s rockband dresses the part. Pop-ular local band The Drivewill play from 5 to 7 p.m.The Return will take thestage from 8 to 9:45 p.m.,followed by another popu-lar local band, Renegade,which will play after thefireworks from 10:45 p.m.to midnight.The stage will be set up

at the corner of Wright andHigh streets downtown.The number of bleachersavailable will be limited, soconcert-goers are encour-aged to bring lawn chairs.The rest of the festival willbe set up on a surroundingthree-block area, with ridesand games in the back lotof Covington MiddleSchool.In addition to the enter-

tainment, the SummerBash committee wanted tobe sure there was some-thing for kids at the festi-val. Haines, who grew upin Covington, always en-joyed the Fourth of Julyfestivals and firemen’s con-ventions that used to takeplace in the village, butthose things fell by thewayside throughout theyears.“Covington has been

void of festivals in townwhere kids can have rides,games and a place to hangout,” he said.Triple Treat Shows, out

of Cincinnati, will provideamusement rides and car-nival games for kids toenjoy. Local civic groupsalso will run games duringthe event.No one will go hungry at

the Covington SummerBash. A mix of carnivalfood and food from local or-ganizations will be offeredthroughout the festivalgrounds, including cottoncandy, funnel cakes, corndogs, pork loins, fries andmuch more.A parade will entertain

the crowds July 7 at 10:30a.m. up High Street toBroadway to Debra Street.Families and organizationsare invited to participatewith floats, antique trac-tors or anything they wantto showcase. Registrationforms can be downloadedat www.covingtonsummer-bash.com, and will be ac-cepted through July 4.Fireworks will light up

the sky over the festival at10 p.m. July 7. They will belaunched from behind Cov-

ington High School at theeast edge of the village.The Covington Outreach

Association will hold itsfifth annual 5K run/walkin conjunction with theSummer Bash July 7 at 8a.m. This event is themajor fundraiser for the or-ganization, which providesassistance to local resi-dents and children. Its pro-grams include theCommunity Food Pantry,emergency assistance onutilities and rent, back toschool and Christmas pro-grams for children, andsenior citizens events.“We are proud to be a

part of Covington’s Sum-mer Bash,” said CindyMiller, COA executive di-rector. “The COA 5KRun/Walk is a fun event forboth participants and vol-unteers. Whether individu-als are running, walking inthe race, or helping passout bottled water, it is re-warding for everyone whotakes part. They know thatincome received from therace helps Covington Out-reach Association fighthunger and provide emer-gency assistance needs intheir community.”

Miller hopes to have asmany participants in therace as they did duringCovington’s 175th, whichwas more than 275 peoplefrom age 5 to 90. Thatyear’s race raised morethan $2,000.The race starts at St.

Teresa of the Infant JesusCatholic Church, 6925 W.U.S. Route 36. Awards willbe issued to the top threeoverall male and femalefinishers and the top threerunners and top threewalkers in each age group.Early registration dead-lines have passed, but raceday registration will be ac-cepted starting at 7 a.m.The entry fee is $15.“This is money that

turns around and goesright back into Covington,”Haines said.Admission to the con-

certs and the entire Sum-mer Bash is free.“We set the budget high

because we want to giveaway to the communitysomething people mightnormally have to pay for,”Haines said.The Covington Develop-

ment Council and the Sum-mer Bash committee were

able to bring in big acts be-cause of the generous sup-port they received from thecommunity. All the fundingfor the festival was raisedlocally through businessesand organizations in andaround Covington. Andlocal groups with booths atthe festival do not have topay a vendor fee.“This Summer Bash

would not be possible with-out a really good group ofindividuals who’ve helpeda lot. It’s definitely not aone person thing,” Hainessaid.The businesses of down-

town Covington will beopen during the festival.Gold sponsors for the eventare New Tech Plastics Inc.,General Films Inc., TheCovington Savings andLoan Association, BuckeyeInsurance Group, 1570WPTW True Oldies/MuzzyBroadcasting, FinfrockConstruction Company Inc.and the Covington Eagles3998.The Covington Develop-

ment Council is chargedwith the mission of promot-ing economic and culturaldevelopment in the villageof Covington, but Hainessaid there’s more to it.“It’s not just that, but

it’s promoting communityand friendship within theresidents of Covington,” hesaid. “We hope the SummerBash will draw back someresidents that moved on forcareer or life or whatever.We hope to see old friendsand former classmateswalking around shakinghands and hugging be-cause they might not haveseen each other in quitesome time.”For more information,

children about life, butknew she had to do it in away that kids could under-stand, which is why shedecided to write through apiece of trash.“It also is a valuable

lesson to the boy about lit-tering,” she said.The book is aimed at

children, but Renee hasfriends of all ages whohave read and enjoyed herwork. One friend read it toher kindergarten class,and Renee’s nephews, ages5 and 7, liked the book.“Lots of my friends read

GREENVILLE — LynnRetson’s graphite drawingsand wood sculptures byThomas Bartel will be fea-tured in the upcoming Artat the Mill exhibit atBear’s Mill opening Fridaywith an artists’ receptionfrom 6 to 9 p.m.According to Julie

Clark, retail manager andgallery coordinator, theartists bring sophisticatedstyles to their seeminglystraightforward work.“Their work is pleasing

and accessible, but yousoon discover there’s muchmore than immediatelymeets the eye,” Clark said.“Tom’s wood sculptures areabstract, yet realistic;Lynn’s drawings depict or-dinary landscapes, but in-spire a second — and third— look.”Lynn Retson resides in

Porter, Ind. Her frequentdrives through rural land-scape intrigued and in-spired her to capture thepoetic beauty she sees fromher car window.Many view-ers are amazed to discoverthat these highly detailedgraphite and black pasteldrawings are not black andwhite photographs.

“People say that theirdrives through the coun-tryside are boring, thatthere’s nothing to see,” theartist said. “My work re-minds you to pay attentionto what is usually over-looked.”Sculptor Thomas Bar-

tel, a high school artteacher in Richmond, Ind.,takes his central inspira-tion from his family, buttrees that “rise to theheavens representing thesplendor and wonder of theworld” also inspire hiswork. He says wood is oneof the most fertile materi-als on Earth, embodyingevery characteristic knownto mankind.“The strength and

grandeur of a tree, itsquietness and grace —these also represent thequalities of the humanrace and embody all God’screation,” he said. “Thetexture of the wood is myoutlet for expression.”The exhibit is on view

during regular Mill storehours, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.daily, through July 22.For more, call (937) 548-

If you’re looking for aplace to boat, fish, swim,camp, hike, picnic or shopthis summer, you need onlytravel up to Indian Lake.This community in LoganCounty, north of JacksonCenter and about an hourfrom Troy, has been calledthe most active lake in thestate of Ohio.I took a drive up to In-

dian Lake last week tomeet with a few businessesand learn more about thearea. The first thing I sawwhen the water came intoview were two jet skiswhizzing around the lake,and I thought, “Man, Iwish that’s what I wasdoing on a hot Wednesdayafternoon!”But my afternoon didn’t

disappoint. I spent timelearning about upcomingevents at the local cham-ber of commerce, checkingout a model home at thebrand new Longview Covedevelopment and browsingthe unique merchandise atMcDonald’s Pottery andGifts.

Visitor’s guideIt was lucky that my

first stop was the IndianLake Area Chamber ofCommerce, because Ipicked up a visitor’s guidefull of information and his-tory about the area, as wellas a map, which becameuseful later on. IndianLake was formed whenmuch of the state was cov-ered by a glacier, which re-ceded about 10,000 yearsago and left behind a largeswamp and many smallerlakes.The water has served

many purposes throughoutthe years, including being

a water supply for theMiami and Erie Canal andbeing the home of SandyBeach Amusement Park,which offered boat toursaround the lake. Today, In-dian Lake is a resort com-munity with hundreds offamily-owned businesses,4,000 camp sites andevents almost every week-end in the summer.The local chamber of

commerce isresponsible formany of thoseevents, withthe goal tobring touristsand vacation-ers to town tohelp fill uplocal busi-nesses. Thechamber hasmore than 400members inthe area’s fivecommunities,which areLakeview, Rus-sells Point,Belle Center,Huntsville andLewistown.Executive Director Pam

Miller said the chamber’smembers are mostly smallmom and pop businessesthat include restaurants,shops and everything inbetween.

Getting awayAbout 50 percent of the

community’s residents areseasonal vacationers, whohave no problem leavingtheir troubles at home.“It’s so laid back and re-

laxing here. It seems likeeverybody that comes hereleaves where they camefrom behind,” she said.Many of the visitors

come from the Miami andShelby County areas,Miller said. She has been

with the chamber for eightyears, previously workingand living in Piqua.The lake is one of the

cleanest in the state ofOhio. It has not had anyproblems with algae, andthe water is so clean andclear that weeds weregrowing at the bottom.Through local donations,the Indian Lake Water-shed Project purchased a

weed harvester last year.Party lake

It’s also one of the mostfun lakes. A representativefrom the Ohio Departmentof Natural Resources oncetold Miller Indian Lake isthe most active lake inOhio.“Everyone says this is

the party lake because wehave things going on allthe time,” Miller said.The calendar of events

goes from Februarystraight through to Decem-ber, with most of the funhappening in the summermonths. Next up on theschedule is the LakeviewCar and Craft Show thisSaturday in downtown

Lakeview from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. Theevent includes alarge car show andcraft show, danceteams, Indian Lake’sGot Talent auditions,

a kiddie tractor pull,chicken dinners, games,drawings and more.Also on Saturday is the

Movie at the Beach on OldField Beach. The film,“Alvin and the Chipmunks:Chipwrecked,” will start atdusk. People are encour-aged to come by car or boatand bring their lawnchairs, blankets andsnacks.

FireworksIndian Lake celebrates

Independence Day with itsBeach Spectacular andFireworks event July 7 atOld Field Beach StatePark. The day starts at 10a.m. with a car show andcontinues with pageants

for kids and teens, a corn-hole tournament, talentshow finals, food and more.It all concludes with a fire-works display shot up overthe water by Zambelli Co.Miller expects 30,000 peo-ple or more for the event.July 14 is the chamber’s

annual Putt Around theLake Golf Outing event, inwhich teams of four visitnine of 18 local establish-ments to play miniaturegolf. The team entry fee is

all these events and oth-ers is available at thechamber of commercewebsite, www.indian-lakechamber.org. You alsocan pick up a visitor’sguide at businessesaround the lake or contactthe chamber at (937) 843-5392 to have one mailedto you.

Longview CoveAfter my visit with the

chamber, I headed up toLongview Cove to checkout the new housing de-velopment. On my drive, Ipassed through the Bick-ham Covered Bridge onTownship Road 38. Myvisitor’s guide tells me thebridge was built in theearly 1900s, and was com-pletely restored in the

summer of 2002.Longview Cove sits

near O’Connor Point,which was home to O’Con-nor’s Landing, a popularrestaurant and lodge thatwas destroyed by fire in1985. The new homes thatare being built are con-structed by Shreves Con-struction, of Sidney, andHBS Development, whichhas worked on otherareas at Indian Lake.

Waterfront livingI met with Nicki New,

office manager forShreves Construction, atone of the model homes inthe development. The

home was beautiful withan open kitchen and liv-ing area, large mastersuite and guest bedroomon the main floor, withwalk-out areas onto alarge deck overlooking thewater. Another livingspace and more bedroomsare located downstairswhere the homeowner canwalk right out to thewater.Longview opened in

March, and 17 lots arecurrently available in thefirst phase of construc-tion. Approximately 54homes are planned for thedevelopment, and all ofthem will be waterfront.“We have all types of

people looking to build inthe development —empty-nesters and fami-lies. Some families will bepermanent residents andfor others, this will betheir secondary, vacationhome,” New said.Longview Cove sits on

25 acres near the water-way leading to the NorthFork of the Great MiamiRiver, bordering statepark land and a wetlandpreserve. Indian Lake’smain body of water can bequickly accessed by thewaterway.The homes start in the

$400,000 range, and arerated five-star energy effi-cient, built green and re-quire low maintenance.Each single-family cus-tom home has its privatebeach and a dock withtwo boat slips. An op-tional deck covering theboat slips is available. The

gated communityalso features a clubhouse with a fitnessroom, heated pooland private boatramp. An associationmaintains the lawns,landscaping andsnow removal.Love the waterAll of those

amenities are sure todraw homebuyers, but themain reason people areinterested in living atLongview Cove is the lakeitself.“I think most people

love being on the water,”New said. “Indian Lake isconvenient due to its loca-tion. It pulls families fromColumbus, Lima and theDayton area. It’s a quickgetaway.Within an houryou can be sitting back re-laxing by the lake or en-joying the fun atmospherethat Indian Lake has tooffer. It’s where the hustleand bustle of everyday lifefades away, and you havethe opportunity to sur-round yourselves withfamily and friends enjoy-ing laughs, sharing of sto-ries or creating new ones.For many families, IndianLake is a place where

American Girl dolls area little girl’s dream doll.Debuted in 1986, thesedolls inspired each stage ofa girl’s development. Dur-ing this time, the historicalperiod dolls were namedKayla, Josefina, Cecile,Addy, Rebecca, Kit, Mollyand Julie. They came tolife in books that wereread all over the country.In 1992, American Girl

came out with its firstmagazine designed to af-firm self-esteem and to cel-ebrate certainachievements in a younggirl’s life. Ever populartoday, the dolls have

clothes and so many acces-sories you can’t countthem.With a “girl trip” toChicago to hand pick yourfavorite doll and outfitsthat make her especiallyyours, playtime is set.While I do love the

American Girl dolls, I haveto say I’m a hardcore Bar-bie gal.In 1965, I got my first

Barbie. She was the mostbeautiful thing I had everseen, until I cut every bitof her hair off. Why? I don’tknow. It’s a good thing theycame out with Barbie wigsduring that time becauseshe needed it! It is still onher today.Yes, I still have my Bar-

bie and all her beautifulclothes that my mom tookmany hours making. Youcouldn’t buy clothes when Igot her, but she was thesharpest dressed chic atthe playground.Things were different

back then. A Barbie poolwas a Tupperware bowl ofwater. A Barbie car wasthe lid of a shoe box, andher bed was made out of atissue box cut down lowwith colored tissues as ablanket. How about that? Idid have a great imagina-tion.My Barbie went every-

where with me — camping,movies, piano lessons —you name it, we were in-separable. Then came Ken,

Midge (remember her?)and her boyfriend Allan.Then the family kept grow-ing. Skipper? Where didshe come from?That’s about the time

my Barbie and her beauti-ful wig went into her “for-ever” case. But she and herfriends are still with me,and from time-to-time I getthem out and just take apeek. Last year, I got themout to show Hannah (mygranddaughter), who hasprobably 100 Barbie dolls.“What’s that?” she

asked.“Barbie,” I said.“No I don’t think that’s

a Barbie, Nana,” she saidand went on her way, notimpressed.Oh well, times change,

but Barbie is still a classact to me!Update: Skipper had a

baby sister Kelley? Are youkidding me?Here are some recipes

from 1965:Butter Noodles
