BY LINDY JURACKiN75 Editor

PIQUA —Whetheryou’re looking for inspira-tional reading material,gifts for your pastor or ma-terials for your Sundayschool class, Grace Chris-tian Bookstore is here tohelp.

Grace Christian Book-store has been serving thecommunity since 1955,when it was known asJerry’s Gospel Gift Shop.In 1986, Bob and JanetPlummer, of Tipp City,bought the store andchanged the name. It relo-cated from its former spot,where Sleep City now sits,to its current location at1210 E. Ash St., next doorto Home Depot and JoAnnFabrics, in December 1992.

“We are unique. There’sno other store like us,” BobPlummer said.

The store carries a widevariety of books, includingfiction and non-fiction. Inthe non-fiction section,books focus on differentlife issues, such as mar-riage or family. Books ded-icated strictly to men orwomen also are available,as are children’s books andvideos. Bibles are avail-able for adults, teenagersand children.

Grace Christian Book-

store specializes in Sundayschool and Vacation BibleSchool materials, andChristian education spe-cialist Ruth Nole is onstaff to help teachers andleaders select products.The store carries sevendifferent Sunday schoollines.

Customers will find alarge selection of greetingcards in the store, sold in-dividually or by the box.Boxed cards always are 20percent off. The store alsohas a nice selection ofgifts, including baptismalgifts, pictures, plaques andgifts for Pastor Apprecia-tion Month in October.Just inside the door is agallery of photos and art.

Church supplies of alltypes, CDs, DVDs, novel-ties for Sunday schoolgiveaways, print musicand tracts on differentsubjects also can be found

at Grace Christian Book-store. The store also car-ries pulpit robes and choirrobes.

If you can’t find exactlywhat you’re looking for in-side the store, chances aregood the trained and expe-rienced staff can get it foryou. Nole remembers onecustomer who was lookingfor a card with a specificpicture on it, but couldn’tfind it anywhere. Nolecalled the greeting cardpublisher, described thecard and was able to haveit ordered, which typicallytakes only two or threedays to arrive.

“We really try to do apersonal touch,” Nole said.“The bottom line is cus-tomer service. We are al-ways willing to go theextra mile and that givesus an edge.”

Grace Christian Book-store is the only store ofits kind in Miami County.It does business not onlywith churches in thecounty, but also in sur-rounding counties includ-ing Shelby, Darke,Champaign and northernMontgomery. The store of-fers automatic rebates onpurchases churches makeand also discounts onquantity purchases. Thestaff will make deliveriesto churches for no addi-tional fee.

Plummer, the owner,encourages all people andchurches to shop at Chris-tian bookstores, which arestruggling in this economy.

“Christian bookstoresare closing all the time.It’s an epidemic in ourcountry right now,” hesaid. “We’re hanging inthere, and we realize wehave an important need inthe community. We would

covet the prayers of thecommunity.”

That need is aboutmore than selling books.

“We cross all denomina-tional lines, and our focusis to encourage people toknow there is a God andthat he loves them.Werepresent Jesus to thecommunity, and our storeis his light,” Plummersaid.

Right now at GraceChristian Bookstore 2013calendars are 20 percentoff and selected Bibles areon sale. Holiday sales arecoming up, including dealson boxed Christmas cardsPlummer expects to havein just a few weeks.

TROY — The Miami Valley Veter-ans Museum, 107 W. Main St., onsecond floor of the Mason Lodgebuilding, is growing with a collectionof unique artifacts. Many of these ar-tifacts are photographs that havenever been seen outside of the fami-lies of the veterans who took them.In many cases, these veterans didnot know they were photographinghistory. Ora Hickman was one ofthese veterans.

Hickman was born in Covingtonin January 1915, according to hisarmy records. His records also showhe was an electric truck operator incivilian life.

After the attack on Pearl Harboron Dec. 7, 1941, Hickman was in-ducted in the army on Nov. 19, 1942.He went on active duty on Dec. 2,

1942, and was sent to Fort Knox, Ky.,to be trained as a tank mechanic for12 weeks. On Oct. 14, 1944, he left togo to the European Theater. He ar-rived there on Oct. 29, 1944.

While serving his country there,Hickman Ora took hundreds of pho-tographs. In some of these photo-graphs, he did not realize he wasphotographing Nazi secret weapons.The weapons in the photos are nowknown to be Me 262 jet fighters. In acouple of these pictures, Hickmanand his fellow soldiers were stand-ing beside a “buzz bomb,” as theywere called.

Three pictures showed the hor-rors of the concentration camps. Mu-seum organizers aren’t sure whichcamp is shown, as Hickman wentthrough the Rhine Land. Not all

photographs are of the horrors ofwar. There are some great photo-graphs of some of the beautifulscenery Hickman saw.

Linda Schuman the museum his-torian has assembled about 200 ofthese historic photographs. The mu-seum is grateful to Hickman’s son,Ted Hickman, and his family for thishistoric donation. These photographscurrently are on display at the mu-seum. The collection is great forthose who researching Europe dur-ing World War II and for students ofhistory.

Summer hours for the museumare Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursdayand Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.Special tours can be arranged bycalling the museum at (937) 451-1455 during open hours.

PIQUA — Any businessthat gets 70 percent of itscustomers from referrals isworth its salt. Throw indecades of experience, anA+ Better Business Bu-reau rating and a varietyof quality products andthere’s simply no reasonnot to go to Craft Interiorsfor you next home remodelor new build project.

Craft Interiors has beenopen in Piqua since 1995,currently at 1700 S. MainSt. The company, foundedby the late Bonnie Craft,originally opened in NorthHampton in the Spring-field area, and that loca-tion still is open today.Craft Interiors works withresidential and commercialcustomers, offering floor-ing, cabinets and counter-tops.23 years of experienceGeneral manager and

design specialist MindyHartzell has been with thecompany for 23 years. Shelearned many of her skillson the job, but also tookcabinetry classes, whichshe later taught.

“I listen. I let the cus-tomer show me thingsthey’d like to see, and Ihelp people put it all to-gether,” she said.

Craft Interiors offersthree main areas of service— flooring, countertopsand cabinets. No show-room is big enough to dis-play everything it offers,but in its showroom aredisplays of each of thethree areas and severalsamples of what’s avail-able. The staff helps cus-tomers design their spaces,and Craft Interiors ownin-house installers special-ize in either flooring, cabi-

netry or countertops.Several types of flooring

are available at Craft Inte-riors, including vinyl, ce-ramic tile, engineeredhardwood, laminate andcarpet. Countertop optionsrange from laminate togranite to solide surface,such as Corian, Formicaand Gibraltar.

Granite has grown inpopularity over the lastthree to five years,Hartzell said, but laminatewill always be No. 1 be-cause it is so afforable.

Craft Interiors can giveyou the look for less with alaminate option that lookslike granite.

New standardCabinets are available

from KraftMaid andHomeCrest. KraftMaid re-cently introduced a newstandard cabinet thatcomes with soft-closedrawers and doors and fullextension drawers, mean-ing the drawer comes allthe way out so you can ac-cess the very back. Onmost other brands, you

would have to pay for up-grades to get those fea-tures. Quality Cabinets, abuilder grade from Kraft-Maid, also is available.

HomeCrest offers semi-custom cabinets so cus-tomers who need onespecialty cabinet can get it,while having the rest bestandard, which keeps theprice down. Hartzell canhelp you design customcabinets.

“If I can draw it, theycan make it,” she said.

Several types of hard-

ware also are available atCraft Interiors, andHartzell can help you findjust the right ones tomatch your cabinets. Forexample, on a more coun-try-style cabinet, it’d bebest to pick straight andsimple hardware, she said.

Residential orcommercial

That type of advice iswhy people head to CraftInteriors. Hartzell has de-signed kitchens for resi-dential clients, includingone married couple, both

chefs, whose kitchen wasfeatured in a magazine.She’s also worked withcommercial properties,such as Sterling House, asenior living community,and Upper Valley CareerCenter in Piqua.

“I’ve got a large range,”she said.

Loyal customersBecause Hartzell can

offer the knowledge andexperience other storescan’t, she sees a lot of re-peat customers. One manshe did cabinets for 15years ago just called her toredo them.

“That feels good thatthey trust me as a personand as a designer,” she said.

If you’re not one whocan easily visualize whatyour kitchen will look like,even with Hartzell’s help,Craft Interiors has a newtool. KraftMaid recentlydebuted its Envision YourSpace kiosk, a televisionscreen that show a samplekitchen where you canchange all the features tosee what countertop looksgood with what flooring,and which paint color goeswell with which cabinet.

“It’s not their realkitchen, but it helps youvisualize it. Even the cus-tomers who can visualizethink it’s helpful and im-pressive,” Hartzell said.

Any budgetOne of the changes

Hartzell has noticed in theindustry is the customerswant more. The customersshe had when she was firststarting out are now bring-ing their kids to her to de-sign their own houses, andthey always want more,she said, noting she can doa kitchen for $3,400 or

DAYTON — NASA’sfirst Shuttle Crew Com-partment Trainer (CCT-1)is tentatively scheduled toarrive on NASA’s SuperGuppy aircraft at the Na-tional Museum of the U.S.Air Force today at 4 p.m.

The public may view theaircraft landing from themuseum grounds. Visitorsmust enter through themain museum entrance offof Springfield Street. Traf-fic along Springfield Streetnear the museum’s en-trance and along Wood-man-Harshman Road maybe congested due to the air-craft arrival. The flight ofthe Super Guppy to themuseum also may betracked online by visitingflightaware.com/live/flight/NASA941.

In order for the aircraftto land with the more than23,000-pound trainer onthe runway behind the mu-seum, certain weather con-ditions and windrestrictions must be met. Ifthe aircraft is unable toland today, it could be de-layed until Thursday. Afinal weather call will bemade today at 1:30 p.m.Check the museum’s web-site, www.nationalmu-

seum.af.mil, for the latestnews and updates.

For more than 30 years,CCT-1 was housed in John-son Space Center’s SpaceVehicle Mockup Facilityand was used to traincrews from STS-1 throughSTS-132 as a high-fidelityrepresentation of the SpaceShuttle Orbiter crew sta-

tion for on-orbit crew train-ing and engineering evalu-ations. Here, astronautslearned how to operatemany of the orbiter sub-systems in more than 20different classes.

The crew module of thetrainer consists of a flightdeck and a mid-deck, andcontains components, such

as panels, seats and lights,visible to or used by theflight crew. Non-functionalswitches, connections,guards and protective de-vices all have the samephysical characteristics,operating force, torque andmovement as a real spaceshuttle.

NASA’s Super Guppy

aircraft has a cargo com-partment that is 25 feettall, 25 feet wide and 111feet long. It can carry amaximum payload of morethan 26 tons. The aircrafthas a unique hinged nosethat can open more than200 degrees, allowing largepieces of cargo such as theCCT-1 to be loaded and un-loaded from the front.

After arrival, museumand NASA technicians willoffload the trainer, re-assemble the interior andplace it on interim displayin the Cold War Gallery.Later, CCT-1 will be movedto a new Space Gallery inthe museum’s plannedfourth building.

Plans also call for themuseum to build a mock-up of the payload bay andwhen the CCT-1 exhibit iscompleted, it will allow thepublic to have a look intothe cockpit and mid-deckareas of a shuttle and learnhow astronauts trained fortheir missions.

The National Museumof the United States AirForce is located on Spring-field Street, six milesnortheast of downtownDayton. Admission andparking are free.

Home and Away with Dana WolfeThe three kitchen spices and herbs I can’t live without

Wednesday, August 22, 2012 PAGE 11

What do Americans con-sume more than 250 mil-lion pounds of annually?

Garlic! And I can’t livewithout it either. In thecourse of a week, I proba-bly use it every day in oneway or another. I have agarlic, sea salt and peppermix that is a staple in mykitchen. Another way welike it is roasted on seven-grain bread. There is justsomething about thatsweet butter flavor thatcomes out when you roastgarlic.

Garlic dates back morethan 6,000 years to Cen-tral Asia and has been a“must have” in theMediterranean region fordecades. One of my fa-vorite recipes to use garlic

in is a rump roast, take aknife and poke holes allthroughout the roast. Plugthe holes with fresh garlicpods. I then wrap the roastwith turkey bacon, saltand pepper, cover with foiland slow roast at 300 de-grees for about 2 1/2 hours.This will knock your socksoff.

I always keep a largejar of chopped garlic in myrefrigerator. It is just asgood as chopping it your-self.

Rosemary is my new fa-vorite herb. I planted onein my herb pot this spring,and even during all thishot, dry weather, it hasn’tlet me down. The more Icut, the bigger it gets. Imay even try to bring it inthe house this winter andsee what happens. I’ll letyou know.

Believe it it not, it re-ally is an evergreen shrubrelated to the basil, marjo-ram and oregano families.The herb is similar to pineneedles. I chop mine upvery fine (remember freshis always stronger) andadd it to butter that Ismooth over the top ofchicken breasts beforegrilling. I also use rose-mary on fish with lemon,garlic and butter. Again,delish!

Last but not least isbasil. With all the ripetomatoes , I can’t help butmake basil, tomato andmozzarella cheese salad,with a sprinkle of oliveoil. I will make this saladfour or five times duringthe summer months. It isa quick and attractivesalad that requires littleprep.

I never really usedmuch of basil until last

winter when I attemptedto put a teaspoon of it inhomemade vegetable soupand the lid came off …oops! What I thought wasway to much turned out tobe one of the best pots ofsoup I have ever made.Mark seconds that!

When we go on trips,one thing that I alwayslook for is different spicesand herbs from differentregions. You can neverhave to many. Don’t letthem sit in your pantry.Get them out and experi-ment with them. You willbe surprised at how deli-cious that will make yourmeals on all different lev-els.
