It all started quite by accident. My daughter-in-law, Tina Brizius, had been doing some business research and called me to tell me, “Janny, I’ve learned that one of the best ways to grow a young business is by putting out a company newsletter. I think you need to do that for Magic Waters Theatre”. Well, we were still living in Columbus, and I was trying to run this new business by “long-distance”, and it was not easy! I really did not need something else to do! But I thought Tina’s idea had merit, so I set about to write the newsletter. I had barely started when I realized that this “newsletter” needed to be way more than just for Magic Waters. It was coming out as a newsletter for the entire community, and so my little house organ immediately became “Happenings in the Hills”! I knew I could write, but had not a clue as to how to proceed beyond that, so it was with the help of several of my husband, Boonie’s, professional creative artists/printer friends that I was able to make it happen. From the very first issue, I have had tremendous approval from folks in our Southern Ohio area. Many of them wanted to be a part of it, also–thus the advertisers! As we actually moved down here, the production part of the magazine fell to my daughter, Carol Mathews, who understood what I was trying to tell folks so well that she often would tell me,”Mom, You really meant to say _______.”, and she was always right, too. Her production skills were great, as well, and it was because of her that the magazine grew in popularity. Somewhere along the line, the printing part of the magazine fell to Printex in Chillicothe, and after Carol moved out of the state, so did the production part. Printex furnished me with some great production people through the years, but none as perfect for the job as Jim Eichenlaub, who these days makes it happen! A few editions ago, he said to me,”Janny, I think you meant to say _______.”,– and I think it was in the most recent edition that as I was reading the final proof, I said to myself, “Well I completely agree with that, but I know I never wrote it! “I called Jim, and he kind of snickered and said,”I hoped you wouldn’t mind!” Yep, we’re a good team! I hope you are going to enjoy this Summer’s edition as we begin Year 26! I keep trying to improve it, and I think Dave Shoemaker’s new column will be something you’ll look forward to for a good laugh! (See the first,”The Ride” in this FALL FESTIVAL OF LEAVES issue. Also I hope you are enjoying Mike OCTOBER 15, 15 & 16 Seely’s special cover photography. BAINBRIDGE • OHIO Hopefully there will be lots more of it, too! I do want to thank those of you who Entertainment Midway always look forward to the next edition. It Arts & Crafts • Food always humbles me, but gives me pleasure, Parade • Fun too, when someone stops me on the street & The Leaves to ask, ”When’s the next issue of the Happenings coming out?" Wow! Thanks! Happenings in the Hills www.magicwaterstheatre.com 1 HAS YOUR FAMILY SEEN “TECUMSEH!”? by Janny We are fortunate to have in our area the premier outdoor drama, “Tecumseh!”. Tecumseh is to many youngsters a “once -in-a -lifetime” experience. Young and old alike however all appreciate this fine production–aaaand–It’s a true story! The amphitheatre itself is outstanding, with a breathtaking set – though the set actually sometimes expands to include the audience, as an Indian pony and rider may just find their way right past your seat! Recorded music by the London Philharmonic Orchestra sets the mood for this marvelous evening of entertainment. It’s suggested that you not bring really young children to the show, as it is fairly long and also very loud especially in the battle scenes. I’m thinking young people age 6 and above will really enjoy the show. One year we brought our entire senior camp from CAMP at near-by Tar Hollow to experience the show, and some 20 years later these former campers are still telling me what that evening meant to them! NEED PRINTING HELP? So many times we find that we need something important printed, but we don’t know where to even begin that process. From personal experience this writer can tell you HELP IS AVAILABLE! And it’s good help, too! Printex has print shops in both Chillicothe and Waverly. At both locations you’ll find people who can help you. From a simple business card or an invitation right on up through a corporate brochure, they can do it all!...and in a timely manner, too! 1955 – 2016 185 E. Main St., Chillicothe 101 Victory Dr., Waverly 773-0088 947-8800 Call Us First! 2 Happenings in the Hills www.magicwaterstheatre.com LAZY H CABINS IN THE HEART OF ALL THE FUN! Whether you have a weekend or a couple of weeks for a vacation, You’ll find that at the Lazy H Cabins there is lots of activity available. The cabins themselves are located adjacent to Paint Creek Lake, and by staying there you’ll also have within a very short drive access to Rocky Fork Lake, Pike Lake, Long’s Retreat, Tecumseh!, and many other fun activities. Of course, if you really just want to loaf your days away, there’s not any place much better than in a rocking chair on the porch of Lazy H! You’ll find these fun cabins on Old 50 about 4 miles west of Bainbridge off of US Route 50. (See ad elsewhere in the Happenings.) MIKE SEELY’S PHOTOGRAPHY Mike Seely has again provided me with a great cover photo for this the Summer edition. Though this is a more traditional-type photo, his passion these days is drone photography, and his love of his media comes through in the outstanding breathtakingly beautiful photos he is getting with his drone. You can see examples of his work at www.seelyportraits.com, and if you like what you see, please give him a call at (937) 981-3013 to make arrangements for Mike to do a drone photo of your farm/business or to ask him to photograph your next big event. Of course portrait photos are always available by appointment. Again–(937) 981-3013. Mike’s studio is located on Jefferson Street in Greenfield. BOONIE’S BACK & BETTER THAN EVER! After a couple of years of failing health that caused Boonie the Magician to curtail many of his activities, He is now back to work and as good as ever! From corporate events down to birthday parties, he can do them all, and your folks will be amazed at his magic and just plain amused by Boonie, himself! Call (937)-304-0818 to check his availability for your next special event! Happenings in the Hills www.magicwaterstheatre.com 3 INTRODUCING DAVE SHOEMAKER! Well, probably many of you reading this already know Dave, but he is a new friend to me, by way of face book, I think. He is a very clever writer, and after my reading of one of his articles on line, I knew he really needed to be sharing his stuff with my Happenings folks! I contacted him and asked if he’d be willing, and he told me he’d get back to me if he found anything in his writings that he thought might be appropriate for my readers. But I got back to him first when I read “The Ride” on line. The main subject in the story was a friend of his he called “Army”. I messaged him and said, ”Are we talking about Bob “Army” Armstrong? (Turns out Army is his brother-in-law!) My connection with Army is via Magic Waters Theatre when he played the lead role in “Natalie Needs a Nightie” I doubt Army knew what the role entailed when he auditioned for the part. (See photo with Army wearing my red negligé’!) Obviously, he is a very self assured man, considering he paraded all around the stage in the nightie, risking the teasing of all of his students at Pickaway/Ross Career Training Center. (The audience loved him as did all of the cast, including the producer–ME!) So when I found someone else poking fun at him, I had to share (Sorry Army!) Folks, I hope you enjoy “The Ride!” THE RIDE Sometimes incredible, amazing things happen when you least expect them. I love summer, I love the beach, and I always spend time there during June, July or August. Hell, sometimes an October or April visit is in order. And maybe because summer is approaching, an unforgettable incident that happened a few years ago recently popped into my head. It happened in the Outer Banks. I was with some family members, including my nephews Josh and Canon and my brother-in-law Army. We were down at The Point, where if you have a 4-wheel drive there you can drive right out on the beach. Let me say this straight out – if you happen to know Army this story will be infinitely funnier, because he's at the center of the action and well, he's Army. You see, we were all out on the ocean body-surfing that unforgettable day. We were catching some pretty good waves, just enjoying the beautiful weather, the sand and the surf. None of us could have possibly imagined what we were about to witness, an event so epic in its awesomeness it's etched in my mind forever. All of us except Army had taken some waves into the shore and were wading/swimming back out towards the breakers when it happened. A wave was 4 Happenings in the Hills www.magicwaterstheatre.com hurtling towards us, much bigger than any we'd seen that day. This thing was a mini-tsunami. We were only about a third of the way out so it was too late for any of us to catch it. We looked for Army but he was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he was on the other side of the monster, we had no idea. Then, about 5-feet in front of the wave, just under the surface and slicing through the sea, we saw him. Army had caught the Mother of All Waves, and was experiencing what would henceforth and forevermore be known simply as...The Ride. I swear he looked like a torpedo, arms straight out with hands clasped above his head, face down and ankles close together in the back. He shot by us like a meteor as the humongous wave pushed him forward. 'Twas truly a glorious sight. We watched, almost in a trance, as he bulleted by. It was then the wave caught us all by surprise, tossing and flipping us over into the angry, churning sea. We came up sputtering and coughing, desperately trying to catch another glimpse of Army and the Body Surf to End All Body Surfs. The wave crashed to the shore, and as it receded there lay Army, facedown in the sand. I swear he was a good 30-feet from where the sand met the surf. For a few seconds we thought he was dead, but then he slowly rolled over and sat up, stunned. As he looked around, seemingly confused and disoriented, it began . . . A slow, rhythmic clapping from people all around us on the beach. Some actually rose from their towels to stand, to honor this man who, by performing this feat in front of them, had surely changed their lives forever. I think I may have even seen a man go to his knees and give the universal "I am not worthy" raising and lowering of his hands. And in the sky, an old pelican tipped his wings in a show of admiration and respect. As Army stood, he simply turned to the adoring beachgoers and gave them a thumbs-up, followed by a knowing nod of the head. It was all that was needed in that moment. The perfect form, the catching of a once-in-a-lifetime wave at the precise moment, the sight of this man-dolphin slicing through the waves like a barracuda pursuing a grouper - these visions will be in the minds of witnesses forever. Yes, those fortunate enough to be in attendance that day will never forget, can never forget . . . The Ride. Dave Shoemaker, I find is well known in this area, having been both teacher and coach at McClain and also Paint Valley Schools. Dave will have another story in the Fall Happenings in the Hills. This one is called “Renegade Fall Festival of Leaves Float”. I hope you’ll look forward to it and to many other of his tales in future Happenings.” Happenings in the Hills www.magicwaterstheatre.com 5 THE SANCTUARY A DELIGHTFUL NEW PLACE FOR OVERNIGHT LODGING OR FOR AN EVENT CENTER! Happenings in the Hills is pleased to introduce you to this charming new lodging/entertainment center. A beautiful old chapel at 6711 Dry Run Road, near Kingston, Ohio, in Ross County has been remodled and turned into this charming facility. The owners, Rob and Tammy Adams, say ”The Sanctuary is designed to be your home away from home.” They continue, “ If you are having guests and can’t house them all, they will be comfy at the Sanctuary. It is a fabulous place for a fairy-tale wedding or for a rehearsal dinner, a bridal shower, office meetings, birthday parties, fundraisers, etc.” I asked Tammy to tell me a bit more about the place as I was not going to be able to get there before the Happenings went to press. She answered my questions this way: “Upstairs is a kitchen, bath, and a large open room with two large sectionals and two dining tables with 14 leather chairs. There are additional chairs and tables that can be added. There are three bedrooms downstairs, a bath with jacuzzi tub and large eat-in kitchen. Two California king beds and one futon-type double sleeper bed. Guests provide their own food through catering or cooking there themselves. Clean towels and linens are provided at the beginning of the stay. (There is no other maid service)” They have added a deck out front, off of the upper floor for guests to enjoy the countryside. See this wonderful place for yourself–search for The Sanctuary in Chillicothe, Ohio on Facebook to see dozens of photos. You can reach Tammy at (740) 649-9163 or at [email protected].

If you’ve never made it down our way for this festival, I know you are going to find it to be really special, in that in addition to all of the expected festival “stuff’ it’s also a “Homecoming” of sorts.

Charming mini-reunions can be seen taking place all over town. Interestingly enough, though, you’ll feel right at home, too!

With this map of the various scenic loops you will be able to find your way into the midst of all of the Fall foliage! You will find more information about the Fall Festival of Leaves at www.fallfestivalofleaves.com. One of the loops takes you past a unique Christmas boutique filled with handcrafted wares called “Christmas at the Cabin” which at the festival’s request now opens a bit early in order to be a part of the festival. It also takes you past THE HAUNTED HILLS AT MAGIC WATERS which offers a fun extension of your day’s fun at the festival in town.
