TIPP CITY — If youGoogle GinghamsburgChurch you may discoversomething you’ve probablyknown for years. Right inyour own back yard just 13miles north of Dayton sitsthe fourth-largest UnitedMethodist church in theUnited States, right inTipp City. Ginghamsburghas been named as one ofthe most influentialchurches in America, butwhat does that mean forresidents right here inTipp City,West Milton,Troy, Sidney, Piqua and allover Miami County?

If you’re like many, youacknowledge the 127-acremega campus as you driveby on Interstate 75, or per-haps you squint as a ray oflight reflects off thethrongs of cars in the park-ing lot as you pass by on aSunday morning. For some,Ginghamsburg has simplybecome a fixture on SouthCounty Road 25-A, but thisfall, GinghamsburgChurch is making some bigchanges that may havemany ready to take a sec-ond look.Pastor looks to futureWearing flip flops, jeans

and sporting a trendy hair-cut, 28-year-old teachingpastor Nick Cunninghamsaid he didn’t sign up to bepart of the status quo.

“As a church, Ging-hamsburg has experienceda lot of success. God hasdone some truly incrediblethings in and through thisplace, but God’s not doneyet. I didn’t sign up to be apart of Ginghamsburg tosimply celebrate the past; Iwant to be a part of the fu-ture. Several movementshave come out of thischurch and from the looks

of things, this fall has thepotential to be the begin-ning of another one,” Cun-ningham said.

Cunningham suggestshis generation is on theprecipice of a movement to-ward organic authenticity.

“No matter who you are… we all crave and long forhealthy connection.We arecreated for relationshipswith each other. There’s anew depth to life that weexperience when we’re con-nected to people in a realway and not just surfacelevel or casual friendships.We want to connect withpeople who actually care,people we can strugglewith, people we can cele-brate with. That’s a funda-mental need of everyhuman being.We all longand crave to connect withpeople in a real way … todo life with other people.For me, that’s one of theappealing things aboutGinghamsburg’s new ap-proach,” he said.

New worship timesPart of Ginghamsburg’s

new approach is new wor-ship hours at its Tipp Cityand Fort McKinley cam-puses. Starting Sept. 9, the

church will create a littlebreathing room in betweeneach of its power-packedmessages by moving the 9a.m. celebration back to8:30 a.m. and the 10:15a.m. celebration back to 10a.m., with the 11:30 a.m.celebration staying put.Cunningham said the timechanges will do more thanalleviate congestion.

“There are several rea-sons why we are changingSunday worship times to8:30, 10 and 11:30 a.m. Thenew hours allow for roomin our worship celebrationsto try some new things, tobe creative, to get more in-volved in worship, moretime for prayer and notfeel like everything has tobe so rushed in the morn-ings. It’s going to help re-lieve some of thecongestion in our hallwaysand even in the parking

lot. That can be a night-mare, especially for ayoung family trying to getfrom their car through theparking lot, checking theirkids in children’s ministryand then getting to wor-ship on time when every-thing is so crowded.Wewant to acknowledge thatif anyone has had that ex-perience in the past, it’snot OK, and we want to dosomething about it. Wewould love for you to giveit another shot,” Cunning-ham said.

Michael Slaughter hasbeen lead pastor at Ging-hamsburg Church since1979, and as Ginghams-burg prepares to celebrateits 150th anniversary in2013, Slaughter explainedwhy change is crucial tothe future.

“In their book ‘Unchrist-ian: What a New Genera-

tion Really Thinks aboutChristianity,’ authorsDavid Kinnaman andGabe Lyons note that‘young outsiders have lostmuch of their respect forthe Christian faith.’ Their

research reveals that thethree most widely heldperceptions of the Chris-tian church are that it is 1)antihomosexual, 2) judg-mental and 3) hypocritical.We have got to rebuildcredibility with upcominggenerations,” he said.

Focus on familyAs part of its focus on

future generations, Ging-hamsburg is implementingthe Orange Curriculumthis fall (see whatisor-ange.org), which embodiesa strategy emphasizing thefamily’s role in partneringwith the church to grow upgreat kids.

Slaughter and the Ging-hamsburg team also willdeliver a brand new mes-sage series starting Sept. 8and 9, called “Four LetterWords,” which recognizesthat sometimes the sim-plest messages are theones busy families needthe most when life getscomplicated.

Ginghamsburg also isre-imagining some of itsspace. It is changing the

PIQUA — Take a tripback in time this weekendat the annual Piqua Her-itage Festival at the PiquaHistorical Area and John-son Farm at Ohio 66 andHardin Road. New to thefestival this year is a per-formance by professionalbull riders and a climbingwall and corn pit for kids.

Festival hours are Sat-urday and Sunday 10 a.m.to 8 p.m. and Monday 10a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is$3 for adults and free foranyone 18 and younger.Most of the activities in-side the festival are free,with a few exceptions.

As guests enter the Her-itage Festival they will seepeople dressed up in periodclothing, a pre-1870s en-campment, demonstra-tions, arts and craftsvendors, antiques, live en-tertainment, kids activitiesand much more.

30 yearsThe Heritage Festival is

celebrating its 30th year in2012. It started back in1981, and had only one

year canceled because ofdrought, said ChuckMcGlaughlin, executivechairman of the all-volun-teer festival committee.McGlaughlin expects about90,000 people to visit thegrounds this weekend.

“Where else can youtake your family for $6 formom and dad and free forthe kids? There’s a lot ofgood things to see outthere,” he said.

McGlaughlin hopes forgood weather this week-end, as last year’s festivalcrowds were hurt by recordhigh and low temperaturesand record rainfall.

What’s new?In addition to the high

school rodeo, in which stu-dents compete for scholar-ships, M&M Rodeo, whichputs on the show, is addingprofessional bull riders tothe lineup this year.

McGlaughlin said therodeo always draws a bigcrowd. It takes place allthree days of the HeritageFestival from noon to 4p.m., with the high schoolcompetition first, followedby the professional bullriders each day.

Two new activities arebeing added to the festivalfor children to enjoy. A BoyScout Troop from Troy issponsoring a climbing wall,which hasn’t been featuredat the festival in a fewyears. Also new is a cornpit, which is similar to aball pit you might find inan arcade, but full ofshelled corn instead.

“Kids can get in thereand just play around,”McGlaughlin said.

More kids’ activitiesBack again this year is

the mining sluice, wherekids can sift through sandand dirt to find polishedrocks, marbles and othertreasures will be backagain this year. Also avail-able for kids are ponyrides, a pig scramble, abarrel train that weavesthrough the festival, and apetting zoo full of sheep,goats, pigs, calves andother farm animals. Extracharges apply on some ofthe activities.

A group of Girl Scoutsand volunteers fashion akids’ are with hands-on,take-home crafts like can-dle-dipping and tin punch-ing. Children’s games suchas spelling bees, pie eatingand more will take place in

the schoolhouse, as well asstories told by an Abe Lin-coln impersonator. A kiddietractor pull will take placeMonday.

EntertainmentThe entertainment

lineup is jam-packed witha little bit of everything.From Celtic, bluegrass andold time music to pop androck, the schedule hassomething for everyone.Four stages and areas willbe set up around thegrounds with a variety ofacts scheduled to perform.(See sidebar for schedule.)

As in past years, theTippecanoe Ancient Fifeand Drum Corp will drillon the grounds Saturdayand Sunday at noon, 3:30and 5:30 p.m.

The Heritage Festivalalso boasts an antique

tractor display and an ex-tensive car show, which in-cludes anything from oldIndy cars to model As tonew mustangs.

The Johnston farm-house and Indian Museumon the grounds will beopen for visitors. Canalboat rides will be giventhroughout the day for $3for adults and $2 for kidsup to age 12.

The pre-1870s encamp-ment will have dwellerswearing old-fashionedclothing and using tentsand equipment from thattime period. Visitors canwatch demonstrations inbutter making, quilting,broom making, pottery,iron work and black-smithing. Demonstratingcrafters also will cooksauerkraut, pies, bread

and more over open fires.Civil War displayLast year’s Civil War

display marking the 150thanniversary of the start ofthe war was such a big hitthat it’ll be back again thisyear, and bigger,McGlaughlin said. The110th Ohio Volunteer In-fantry, which originallyformed in Piqua right onJohnston Farm, is puttingon a Civil War display withweapons, uniforms, articlesand other artifacts.

“A lot of their weaponsaren’t reproductions,”McGlaughlin said. “They’rethe real deal.”

A hot air balloon lift offwill be another excitingpart of the festival. Atleast three balloons arescheduled to lift off Sundayevening after the car show,weather permitting.

An antique tent willhave items for sale duringthe weekend, and a gen-eral store will host checkertournaments and sellpenny candy and glass bot-tles of root beer.

Good eatsIf penny candy isn’t

enough to fill your belly,don’t worry. Eighteen foodvendors and booths will beopen and cooking a varietyof foods including Cajuncuisine, chicken and noo-dles, apple dumplings, icecream, chicken dinners,pulled pork, funnel cakes,french fries, tenderloins,turkey legs, fried bologna,corn on the cob and more.

The unique thing aboutfood at this festival is it isall made and sold by localnon-profit groups, who useit as their majorfundraiser of the year,McGlaughlin said. Groupsinvolved include St. Paul’sChurch, Springcreek and

TROY — The MiamiCounty Sanitary Engineer-ing Department is hostingthree separate drop-offevents in September forresidents to safely recycletheir electronics, dispose ofhousehold hazardous wasteand to drop-off unwantedor expired medications.

All three events willtake place at MiamiCounty Sanitary Engineer-ing, 2200 N. County Road25-A. All of the drop-offsare for residential house-holds and are not intendedfor commercial or indus-trial business.

The first event is theresidential electronics recy-cling drop-off Sept. 8 from8 a.m. to noon. The serviceis offered free again thisyear, working in conjunc-tion with Goodwill EasterSeals of Miami Valley.

Residents may bring inany electronic devices, suchas computers, monitors,keyboards, DVD players,VCRs, laptops, camerasand televisions that meas-ure less than 30 inches.Items not accepted includeextensive phone systemsand large copy machines.

Through Goodwill’s Re-connect program with Dell,the electronics will be bro-ken down and recycled,said Cindy Bach, solidwaste coordinator. Theservice also creates jobs forGoodwill clients who stackand ship the materials.

Residents are encour-aged to register for the elec-tronics drop-off by calling(937) 440-3488 or visitingwww.miamicountysed.com.

The residential house-hold hazardous waste drop-off will be Sept. 15 from 8a.m. to noon. Bach ex-plained how the processworks.

Miami County residentsmay bring any hazardouswaste to the facility officeto be properly disposed of,including herbicides, pesti-cides, pool chemicals, mer-cury and other unknownchemicals. The materialsare weighed and residentsare charged $1 per pound.

The solid waste districtuses the money to pay Veo-lia ES Technical Solutionsto dispose of the waste.Pharmaceuticals andsmoke detectors will not beaccepted during the Sept.15 event.

People are highly en-couraged to register in ad-vance by phone or Internetto avoid a long wait time.

Bach wanted to remindresidents to only buy whatthey need, especially whenpurchasing fertilizers, paintor other chemicals. The dis-posal methods for haz-ardous wastes, which areregulated by the law, arevery expensive, she said.

Again this year is alight bulb exchange, offeredon a first-come, first-servedbasis. During the haz-ardous waste drop-off, resi-dents who bring in threeincandescent light bulbswill receive a set of threecompact fluorescent lightbulbs, donated by PioneerElectric Cooperative.

The Miami County San-itary Engineering Depart-ment’s drop-off programsbegan in 2006 and 2007,

and the numbers clearlyshow the need for suchevents in the community.In 2011, the hazardouswaste drop-off brought inmore than 2 1/2 tons of ma-terials, and the electronicsprograms brought in al-most 10 tons of materials.

Since 2006, the officehas collected more than64,500 pounds of haz-ardous waste. Since 2007,more than 88,000 poundsof electronics have been re-cycled.

The Miami CountySheriff ’s Office, in conjunc-tion with the Drug En-forcement Agency, isleading the drug take backevent Sept. 29 from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. at the SanitaryEngineering Office. Resi-dents are encouraged tobring in their unwanted orexpired medications in pillform only.

Individuals are asked toremove their personal in-formation from the bottleor mark it out before drop-ping it off.

Bach said it’s importantfor medications to be dis-posed of properly. Medica-tions dumped down thedrain have a chance of get-ting into ground water, andpills tossed in the trashmay still be misused.

GREENVILLE — Dur-ing September, the galleryat historic Bear’s Mill willfeature watercolors byMuncie, Ind., residentBrian Gordy and BenDeeter’s creative but func-tional pottery. The exhibitopens Friday with a recep-tion offering light appetiz-ers and wine from 6 to 9

p.m. Gordy’s work captur-ing the sculptural beautyand charm of turtles andother wildlife fits perfectlyin Bear Mill’s natural set-ting. Gordy, a naturalist aswell as a watercolorist, haslong been intrigued, appro-priately enough, by watercreatures. His work clearlydemonstrates that fascina-tion. The award-winningpainter, who has taughtart in public schools, at theuniversity level, and pri-vately for more than 25years and owns and oper-ates a framing studio andart gallery in downtownMuncie, said one neverknows where the musemight be hiding. PotterBen Deeter said when hefirst touched clay while inhigh school, he came ob-sessed with the endlesspossibilities provided. TheBowling Green Universitygraduate uses color ratherthan texture to bring inter-est to his work, and is in-corporating patterns fromnature into the pieces. ThePleasant Hill resident saidhe integrates historical aswell as contemporary con-cepts into his work to pro-duce functional pieces thathe intends to be as pleas-ing to look at as they are touse. 6450 Arcanum-Bear'sMill Road � Fridaythrough Sept. 23, 11 a.m.to 5 p.m. daily � Free ad-mission �

There is a big buzzgoing around the food cir-cles that the new and up-and-coming food trucks arehere to stay. Granted, theyreally aren’t new, just newin the food choices they areserving. Everything fromfried chicken to gourmetdeluxe sandwiches to sushiand even buttery lobsterrolls.

Not so long ago foodtrucks could be seen in allof our local factories, bigbusinesses, in parking lotsand along side the road. Ibelieve they called them“roach coaches” because oftheir plain color of gray

and white decor. Not any-more! Food trucks aredecked out in brightly col-ored personalized trucks,almost a work of art.

The onset of the foodtruck phenomenon beganaround 2008 with a com-plete change to what theyhad to offer. Many chefstook on this challenge tomake lunchtime a more so-cializing time with greatfood. Did this rage startwith the chuck wagonsduring the 1800s? Thinkabout it. They pulled up tothe local steer herder ortraveler and offered upbeans and dried beef jerky.Well, that’s what they didon the Ponderosa.

During the ’50s andWorld War II, mobile can-teens became very popularserving our servicemen,bringing them snacks,desserts and coffee thatthey couldn’t get in theever so popular “chowhall.”

In the ’60s came thebeloved ice cream truck.Our ice cream truck dur-ing that time made milk-shakes and served softserve ice cream. Thingssure have changed sincethen. Please turn thatmusic down! You can hearthem coming 4 milesaway.

The United Kingdomnow have “snack vans” onmost college campuses.With this trend gettingbigger and bigger, we aresure to start seeing coffeetrucks, snack trucks anddessert trucks almosteverywhere. In Californiaand Florida, food trucksare making visits to areahigh schools with vegetar-ian and fresh farmers mar-ket salads. It seems to be abig hit with students andteachers. I think this trendis here to stay.

Overall, they offer lots

of advantages to the con-sumer. First, the consumeris able to add variety to hisor her ordinary lunch anddinner options. Second, thefood is often inexpensive incomparison to food selec-tions in restaurants, delisand diners. Third, due tothe impressive variety ofcultural and flavorful op-tions offered by foodtrucks, we are able to trynew and different itemsthat we would normallyavoid in ordering a largedinner out.

I hear there are a few inthe Dayton and surround-ing areas. I’m going tohunt them down and giveit a try. I’ll report back toyou with my results. If youhave eaten from a newfood truck, let me knowhow you liked it.

I say if you can eat ahot dog from a vendor inNew York, you can eatprime rib from a foodtruck.

Happy cooking! Contactme at dwolfe@tdnpublish-ing.com.
