TROY — Businesseshave to grow and evolveover time in order to sur-vive, and Ording’s PartyTime in Troy is a prime ex-ample. The company is cel-ebrating its 50thanniversary this month,while looking back at howa simple fruit marketturned into a deli and full-service catering business.Brother-sister team

Pete Ording and Jackie Or-ding Michael now run thecompany their grandfather,Herman Ording, started 50years ago. Herman starteda fruit market out of thebuilding at 810 S. MarketSt., where the businessstill is located today. In ad-dition to fruit, he sold veg-etables, plants andChristmas trees.Herman’s son Joe, Pete

and Jackie’s father, startedworking at the market ashe grew up. He decided toadd pizza to give pizza-hungry customers morechoices in town, since therewere only three otherpizzerias at the time. Thepizza, made with a specialrecipe created in house, re-mains one of Ording’s mostpopular items today.As the pizza business

grew, Herman built a wallto separate the carry-outpizzeria from the fruitmarket. A small deli sec-tion soon followed, andeventually groceries.Pete and Jackie remem-

ber their dad telling thestory of how the businessgrew.“A man kept coming in

and wanted a hot ham andcheese sandwich, but dadsaid he didn’t make hamand cheese sandwiches,”

Jackie said. “The guy said,‘You’ve got ham, you’ve gotcheese and you’ve got buns.Just throw it in the oven.’”The hot ham and cheese

sandwich was added to themenu, and the steakdeluxe followed as Joe con-tinued to experiment withingredients he had in thestore. The steak deluxe,complete with cheese,mushrooms, mushroomgravy, green peppers, ba-nana peppers and onions,has been a top seller eversince.In the mid ’60s, Ord-

ing’s added another item toits menu that has becomea staple.“We’ve got wonderful

fried chicken with a specialbreading,” Jackie said.Potato salad, macaroni

salad, cole slaw and bakedbeans, all homemade rightat Ording’s, also are fa-vorites with customers.The regulars who havebeen eating them up fordecades will know therecipes haven’t changed.As time went on, Joe

started picking up smallcatering jobs in the ’70s,doing party trays and fin-ger sandwiches. As wordspread, Ording’s startedcatering company picnicsand weddings.

Ording’s started as afamily business and hasremained that waythroughout 50 years. Assoon as Pete and Jackiewere old enough, Joestarted bring them into thestore to help out.“He started training

and molding us when wewere 10 years old,” Jackiesaid, remembering sum-mers when she would workfor a week and then Petewould work for a week,and so on.When Pete went to col-

lege and Jackie went tomedical assisting school,they had no intention oftaking over the business,but once they finishedschool, they both decided itwas what they wanted todo.With them back onboard, Ording’s expanded

its catering business,adding a box truck and asmoker for hog roasts to itsfleet. Hog roasts are sopopular in our community,Ording’s does an averageof one each week duringthe summer.Since his children are

now running the operation,Joe has gradually retired,but will never truly be outof the business. He spendsthe summers on Lake Eriechartering a fishing boat,but stays in Troy duringthe winter and helps out atthe store occasionally,though Jackie admits hewinds up doing more chitchatting with customersthan working.“It’s in his blood,” Jackie

said. “He likes talking topeople and meeting newpeople.”

The fourth generationof Ordings has alreadystarted learning the busi-ness. Pete’s son Nick, ahigh school senior, startedhelping out when he was12, and now works parttime at the store.Other Ording’s employ-

ees are as good as family.Brit Durand has been withOrding’s for 47 years, andthough retired now, stillworks part time. BarbaraBroughton has been withOrding’s for more than 25years. Both Broughton andDurand helped train Peteand Jackie.“We’ve been fortunate a

lot of the help we’ve hadout here have been longterm,” Jackie said.Pete has a simple mes-

sage to the customerswho’ve been stopping in at

Ording’s for 50 years.“We couldn’t be here

without you,” he said.Because the employees

at Ording’s have beenthere so long, and the cus-tomers keep coming backgeneration after genera-tion, there’s a friendly rap-port between everyone whowalks in the door.“We feel connected to

the community because weknow these people. If theydon’t come in we wonderwhat happened,” Jackiesaid.To celebrate its mile-

stone, Ording’s is hosting a50th anniversary eventthis Friday and Saturdaywith food specials from 10a.m. to 11:30 p.m. bothdays. On Saturday fromnoon to 5 p.m., music willbe provided by PHonicsand Lucky the Hobo Clownwill entertain with bal-loons. Door prizes will begiven away to those whoare present.Also this Friday and

Saturday, Ording’s is offer-ing 50 percent off on up tothree menu items. The per-centage will be taken offthe three highest priceditems in an order. Also,today and Thursday cus-tomers can get $2 off anylarge pizza.Ording’s currently is

Dayton Opera’s ‘Lucia Di Lammermore’ promises magnificenceDAYTON — Dayton

Opera will present Gae-tano Donizetti’s chillingtragedy “Lucia di Lam-mermoor,” performed inItalian with English sub-titles, Friday at 8 p.m.and Sunday at 3 p.m. inthe Mead Theatre of theSchuster Center. Theopera kicks off the pas-sionate 2012-2013 OccupyOpera season.In this opera based on

a novel by Sir WalterScott, madness — or atthe very least confusion —is running rampant. Forstarters, although all thecharacters are Scottish,their first names are Ital-ian and, like television’s“Mad Men,” men rule theday, and women arepawns as marriages arearranged to create power-

ful family alliances. Obvi-ously there’s no eHar-mony, not evenMatch.com.Here’s the drill: Enrico

Ashton of Lammermoorhas plans for his sister,Lucia, to marry ArturoBucklaw. But she only haseyes for Edgardo, a hunterwho rescued her from amad bull, even though aghostly maiden haswarned her that lovingEdgardo will only end intragedy. To trick her intomarrying Arturo, Lucia’sbrother hands her aforged letter fromEdgardo maintaining thathe loves another woman.Near suicidal, Lucianonetheless consents tomarrying Arturo. At thewedding ceremonyEdgardo suddenly bursts

in, sees Lucia’s signatureon the marriage contract,tears his ring from herfinger, curses her andruns out. In a word, he’smad.So, what’s a girl to do?

You guessed it. Now com-pletely bonkers, Luciastabs and kills her hus-band on their weddingbed and returns to thewedding party blood-spat-tered and not realizingwhat she’s done. Then inone of the most famousand hair-raising madscenes in the history oftheater, Lucia, in adream-like state, recallsher first meeting withEdgardo as if he’s the onethat she’s married. Hav-ing reached her limit shecollapses to the floor deadand, to make things

worse, when Edgardolearns she’s dead, he killshimself.All kidding aside, the

suspense, tension andsheer terror in this operais palpable, but above allthe music is absolutelymagnificent.“It takes truly talented

singing artists to recreatethe masterful music ofDonizetti’s demandingscore, and that’s what wehave in our Dayton Operacast,” said Dayton OperaArtistic Director ThomasBankston. “We are excitedto have company debutsin three of the leadingroles of this production,soprano Angela Mortel-laro as Lucia, tenorJoshua Kohl as Edgardo,and baritone Lee Poulosas Enrico. Returning to

Dayton Opera in the roleof Raimondo is bassMatthew Burns.”Dayton Opera favorites

Kathleen Clawson, stagedirector, and JosephMechavich, conductor,who collaborated on lastseason’s “La Bohème,” re-turn to lend their talenteddirection.Enjoy pre-performance

entertainment and food-by-the-bite and beverageson sale in the Wintergar-den beginning one hourprior to the performance.For ticket holders, a 20-minute opera preview alsois offered one hour priorto both performances.Tickets range from $36

WEST MILTON—TheWestMilton Players are gearing upfor their upcoming production of“Coming Back to Jersey,” thanksto a few committed players andsupport from the school and city.The production of “Coming

Back to Jersey” will mark theWest Milton Players 35th sea-son. The cast is Ron Eckle-barger as Howard Karchmer,Jeanette McDaniel as NormaKarchmer, Valerie Beverly asDorothy Arnfield, Jasmine Bev-erly as Louise Karchmer, KenEcklebarger as Freddy Zucker-man and Jamie McQuinn asSidney Hersch.The performances are at the

new high school auditorium,7610 Milton-Potsdam Road.Dates and times are this Fridayand Saturday at 8 p.m., thisSunday at 3 p.m., Nov. 2 and 3

at 8 p.m. and Nov. 3 at 3 p.m.Tickets are $8 each and will besold at the door only.TheWest Milton Players

began in 1977 when a few mem-bers of the Good ShepherdLutheran Church of West Miltondecided they wanted to get to-gether to perform productions ofplays and musicals. It grew toattract members from the localarea, some with theater back-grounds and some who just en-joyed performing. Recently,though, interest has waned.“We had a huge, huge follow-

ing for a very long time.We gotto a point where about eight ornine years ago, we lost a lot ofthe membership, nobody reallywanted to be in charge, nobodywanted to do the productions,”said Jeanette McDaniel,WestMilton Players board memberwho plays Norma in the upcom-ing production.The Players were McDaniel’s

first entrance into the theater.“I don’t have an educational

background in theater, but I’vesang all my life,” McDaniel said.“It started out with going to theWest Milton Players productionswith my in-laws and as I sat inthe audience I thought to myselfI could do that, it looked likefun.”McDaniel said there has been

a drop in interest of communitytheater in general. Add to thatboard members busy with theirfamilies and own lives, and itlooked like theWest MiltonPlayers might drop from exis-tence.“I thought to myself, I want

to keep it going if I can for a lit-tle bit longer. So I said I wouldtake over,” McDaniel said.Other board members who

wanted to keep the Players aliveare Tonya Cross and EileenPflum, as well as upcoming pro-duction director Dave Nickel.

“It would be a shame to seean arts program like theWestMilton Players not be aroundanymore,” Cross said. “Beingfrom a small town, it is a way tobring something more to thearea.”The village of West Milton

and Milton-Union schools havestepped up to offer their supportfor the Players as well.“Matt Kline, the new city

manager, has donated a spacefor us to store our costumes,props and stage flats.We havehad to rent a space for years forour equipment,” McDaniel said.“I am so thrilled that he was soaccommodating to want to helpus succeed and continue.”Milton-Union Superintendent

Dr. Ginny Rammel also has beenan encouragement for the Play-ers.“She is very anxious to have

us use the new high school forour productions. She is very

community oriented and wantsto see us continue performingalso,” McDaniel said. “She hasbeen very gracious and encour-aging to keep community the-ater alive. She even suggestedthey put our performance infor-mation in the newsletter thatgoes out to the entire district.”Director Dave Nickel per-

formed in the same productionfour years ago at the DaytonPlayhouse.Nickel originates from Penn-

sylvania but has been living inthe area for about nine yearsand now hails from Tipp City.Nickel brings plenty of perform-ance experience to his second ex-perience as director. Hisdirecting debut was the produc-tion of “Marrying Terry” inBrookville, although his firstperformance was with the TippCity Players.For more information, contact

McDaniel at (937) 335-2554.

When my sister livedin Canton, Ohio, wewould always visit asmall quaint townnearby called Zoar,about 90 miles south ofCleveland. Recently, ithas been named in the2012 list of America’s 11Most Endangered His-toric Places due to thefact of a failing leveethat controls flooding onthe nearby TuscarawasRiver.Zoar was founded in

1817 by German sepa-ratists seeking religiousfreedom. There wereoriginally 5,000 acres,and the land was pur-chased for $3 an acre.They arrived in late Oc-tober and had to quicklystart building sheltersfor their families beforethe winter months came.Today, there are approxi-mately 75 to 85 familiesliving in the originalhomes built back in the1817s of which mosthave been preserved andrestored to their originalbeauty.When you visit this

small Ohio town, you aretruly set back in time.Almost all of the build-ings in Zoar are pri-vately owned, whichinclude quaint shops,restaurants and bed andbreakfasts. They offereverything from quiltshops, canned goods,candle shops, antiques,bulk spices and bakedgoods.Around this time of

year I start gettingemails asking where is anice place to visit duringthe holidays. This is oneof my top 10! They havea Christmas in Zoar Vil-

lage Dec. 1-2 that offershorse drawn carriagerides, private hometours that will certainlyput you in the Christ-mas spirit, carolers,craftspeople, music, en-tertainment and evenlive reindeer. The lasttime I visited Zoar, Ibought a cookbook, ofcourse, that I use quite abit. I will share a few ofthe recipes with you.The Zoar Tavern,

which is under the newname Canal Tavern ofZoar, celebrates the factsthat the Ohio and ErieCanalway Towpath Trailpasses directly in frontof the restaurant. Itemson their menu includepan-seared salmon filet,vegetable spaetzle androsemary chicken.Zoar is located on

Ohio 212, just 3 milessoutheast of exit 93 offInterstate 77, approxi-mately 10 miles south ofCanton. Start planningnow to put a littleChristmas joy in yourday by visiting one of myfavorite places. For moreinformation, call (800)874-4336.Happy cooking! Email
