The University of Dayton will honor the Flyer men’s and women’s basketball teams with a public celebration on Tuesday, March 31 at the University of Dayton Arena. The celebration is free and will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET. Doors open at 6 p.m. ET.
“There is a lot of excitement surrounding our basketball programs right now, and we want our fans and both teams to share in that. Plus, we would love nothing better than to turn this event into a pep rally that sends out women’s team off to the Final Four!,” Tim Wabler, UD’s Vice-President and Director of Athletics said.
“We have a big event coming (Winter Guard International – WGI) into the Arena later this week, and if we did not have this celebration on Tuesday, we would not be able to recognize our basketball teams until late April,” Wabler added.
Fans can park for free in A lot and enter through the south entrance that faces Interstate 75. Seating will be on the east side of the Arena.
The Flyer Pep Band and cheerleaders will set the atmosphere, both teams will be introduced, highlight videos will be shown and head coaches Archie Miller and Jim Jabir will address the crowd.
The Dayton men finished the year 27-9 and advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament. The UD women are 27-6, and will be making their first trip to the Sweet Sixteen this weekend. The Flyers play Louisville at the East Regional in Albany, N.Y. on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET. That game can be seen on ESPN and WatchESPN.
On January 30th, Dayton band Gem City celebrated the release of their long awaited first album REDUX at the Yellow Cab Building. Being released by local independent record label Only WonderUS, REDUX offers a collection of ballads and up-tempo songs that are beautifully woven together throughout. The James Brown-influenced opener “Gotta Get Up (Before You Get Down” sets the down early with a groovy soulfulness to it. Th vibrate, jazzy instrumental “Britney Called” gives way to what could be the John Legend-approved crooner “Jonesin’”. “Turn Up” and “Automatic” showcases each member letting loose, and being unrestrained.
Located on East 4th Street, Yellow Cab was brimming with spectators and a majority of the bands loyal fans; which Gem City affectionately call “customers”. While sitting with the lead singer of Gem City Willie Four and Dave Zupkovich from Only WonderUS Records recently, the two individuals talked vividly about the evening’s festivities. They mostly spoke on what the experience was like to see such an amazing turnout. Zupkovich mentions that with the minimal amount of press on the show, the crowd reached close to a couple hundred.
“It was beautiful, man. It was a lot of fun,” recalls Zupkovich. “That was the first time we ever threw any sort of event like that…especially with little how little promo there actually was.”
“I was getting confused. ‘Are these people still coming in the door?’ (Laughter),” Four said in jest.
“There were people coming when you guys were still playing. That was definitely a grassroots kind of show, which was really cool to see. People who were there told their friends. Also the band’s fan base-they come out.”
The band formed at the University of Dayton back in 2012 when Four and most of the members of the band were students at the school. While performing in the university’s jazz ensemble, most of the members all lived together in the lofts and homes surround the ArtStreet area. When a project came up at ArtStreet, Four and eight others of the ensemble performers thought it would be fun to form a band. The friends/bandmates called themselves the Customer Service and the Gem City Horns at the time and received rave reviews from those that caught the set. Attendees wanted to get their hands on more music from them. People from other music venues soon began sending requests for the band to come perform. What was supposed to be initially started as a project that was designed to be only temporary had become an opportunity. Customer Service had to choose; continue to pursue making more music or just have it be a onetime deal. That response that they got after their first show made it easy for the decision to be made.
Along with trimming down the title of the band’s name and the signing with Only WonderUS, Gem City traveled to Nashville to begin recording REDUX at the Sound Emporium. The large acoustic area allowed the band to record all together, of which the goal was to create retro/soulful sound. Working with a producer that they already worked with before, the studio’s history was also another deciding factor.
“We were looking through the archives-Johnny Cash was there in the 70s, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift did her first record at the studio,” Zupkovich mentions. “It was really an aspiring place to be.”
Production for REDUX lasted a little over a year. A majority of that time involved going back and forth between studios. Vocals were recorded at Eric Suttman’s Farm in Dayton and not at Sound Emporium. A lot of time was also spent on mixing and mastering. Even though the making of REDUX was a long and vigorous process, for Gem City it was all for the best.
“We made sure that we got it right,” Four says
In support of REDUX, Gem City have released a video directed by Marc Robert Graham. Filmed all throughout the city of Dayton, the main story focuses on a young couple who decide to head to a hotel room for a little fun. Along with stunning aerial footage of the city skyline, the video also has scenes of the band performing on top of a parking garage. Filming the core part posed to be a little bit of a hassle in part due some minor delays, Zupkovich and Four mentioned.
“We did not start the camera rolling till 1:30am,” Zupkovich said. “(Graham) got here at midnight, went to a parking garage, and ensemble. Everyone was kinda upset with me. I was upset. It was definitely one of those of things that was annoying that day, but turned out to be a pretty funny story. We didn’t stop shooting till 5am.“
“We woke up at 8am to record the second part of the video,” added Four.
“The product turned out great, though.”
Gem City have been slowly building their status as can’t miss within the city limits and beyond. Infusing elements of rock, funk and some old school Motown; Gem City brings to the table a rejuvenated feel to the jazz scene has been somewhat needing some fresh voices. Their electrifying live performances have captive audiences across the Miami Valley, and places like Detroit, New York. Gem City became quite crowd favorite at the Exit Zero Jazz Festival in Cape May in 2013 and 2014. They have also were named the winner of this year’s Battle of the Bands at The Underground in Cincinnati. Gem City have also been given a “Dayton Original” patent by the City of Dayton.
With the horizon looking as bright as it is, Four says that there’s no plans for Gem City to slow down anytime soon.
“We’ll keep going to we can’t no more.”

Professional Organizer and Owner of Designed to Organize, LLC, Kim Metter, shares some tips on how you can organize your small space.
Sustainability is a mainstream concept that many people are embracing with open arms. Reusing, recycling, buying less and living in smaller homes are becoming the norm. The question is: how does a family live in a smaller space with the pressure to buy more? These tips can help you live a fuller life with less.
Some overall tricks for making a space look larger: use the right paint colors. Choosing sharp colors can trick the eye and create more space than is actually there. In addition, using smaller furniture in smaller spaces ensures that you are maximizing the square footage and gives you more clearance around items. Also, using furniture that is lower to the ground will make the space seem larger. Finally, using room dividers can help to create the look of defined space without sacrificing the open feeling.
Whenever possible, create spaces that are used for several purposes. A kitchen can be used for cooking, crafts and homework. Proper organization of these items ensures that you can use this space multiple ways effectively. Command hooks are great for adding places to keep utensils, towels, coffee mugs, really anything that hangs. You can also use them to hang wire or plastic baskets, allowing for even more storage. Additionally, wall space is rarely utilized to its potential. Hanging things on walls can add more storage, i.e. baskets, bookcases, floating shelving, etc. There is always an emphasis placed on horizontal square footage, but if you think vertically, you are maximizing each space to its fullest.
For the kitchen, using a wire basket shower caddy can double as a produce rack. You can glue magnets onto plastic containers to add storage to the sides and front of your refrigerator. Adding baskets underneath kitchen cabinets can give you more storage without sacrificing counter space. Placing peg boards inside of cabinets or doors can add ample hanging storage for various sizes and shapes. Using stacking shelves in cabinets and pantries can help you double your storage space. No room for an eat-in kitchen? Mount a fold up table to the wall and bring down for meals, then fold back up when done. This application can be used for any space that needs a table.
For bedrooms, adding bed risers can add more storage space underneath. Then, by using rolling flat bins under the bed, you can dramatically increase your storage capability. Drawers are usually not used to their potential. If possible, place rarely used items on the bottom of the drawer and place a box lid or flatter plastic organizer to keep items neat on the top. i.e. blanket on the bottom and T-shirts on the top. This will ensure that you are using the maximum amount of drawer space. It is a good idea to write down the items that are in the drawer and place it on the inside of that drawer. This way, those items not easily seen won’t be forgotten when needed. Remember that there are tools that you already have in your home that can be used for organizing such as using shoe boxes or cardboard to create your own drawer organizers. There’s no need to spend money when you can skillfully reuse other items that you already have!
Closets are spaces that are rarely fully used. Using plastic organizers with drawers will help you maximize the bottom of your closet space. Space under shelving in closets and cabinets are unused real estate. Hang baskets from the top shelf to add more storage. Under the shelf racks can also be used. Baskets or plastic storage bins with holes are great for storing kids clothes or clothing made of thinner fabrics. Finally, hanging organizers used on the back of doors and cabinets will add even more storage space. If by chance you have a closet that is rarely used, transform it into a multiple use space such as an office, craft space or office.

Wright State student Jasmine Spradley lives with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, but shines in everything she puts her mind to. That led to her to recently being crowned Ms. Wheelchair Ohio. Unlike the majority of beauty pageants, Ms. Wheelchair Ohio seeks to find a woman who can represent and advocate for Ohioans with disabilities.
Spradley received her first wheelchair when she was in first grade. When you use a wheelchair for a long time and for most of your mobility needs, it becomes a part of you,” she said. “I don’t think that people without wheelchair needs can understand that concept. In a way, the wheelchair becomes our legs or arms or body.” Because of the challenges she has faced with having a disability, Spradley was seen as an influential advocate for others with similar challenges. “I was surprised when they announced my name as the new Ms. Wheelchair Ohio. I wasn’t expecting to win and hadn’t thought about what to do if I did. I was excited, too,” said Spradley. “Ms. Wheelchair Ohio seeks to find charismatic and articulate women who can be an advocate for people with disabilities.”
She will continue on to compete in Ms. Wheelchair America in Des Moines, Iowa, against approximately 30 other women. “I am excited that I get to travel for Ms. Wheelchair America and that I will meet many other influential women with disabilities whom I would never get the chance to meet had it not been for this competition,” she said. Spradley is a psychology major who hopes to be a mental health therapist for families, married couples or college students. Raised in Piqua, with her three brothers, she has lived life with the genetic condition, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which produces fragile bones and a short stature. She relies on a powered wheelchair for mobility needs and avoid injury to avoid weakening her bones. “My class is largely discussion based and she is one of the most vocal contributors to our topics,” said Andrew Hampton, a graduate teaching assistant in the College of Science and Mathematics. “She seems comfortable debating me and generally has interesting insights into character motivations and the application to social issues. She’s also demonstrated a willingness to volunteer help to other students.”
Spradley is a member of the Ohio STEM Ability Alliance, which aims to find success for students with disabilities to locate jobs relating to their preferred STEM major. She also has been a part of Abilities United and Wright State’s Adapted Recreation, two other programs that seek to improve life for students with disabilities. Spradley has been a member of two choir programs, the Psychology Club, Residential Life through the Community Council and Student Government and volunteers for on-campus events. “My motto since coming to Wright State has been ‘Get Involved!’ I cannot stress it enough. If there is an activity, club or sport that you have a passion for, Wright State most likely has it,” Spradley said. She plans on earning her master’s degree in counseling in two years. Spradley is accepting funds for the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant. For more information, email her at [email protected].

Today a brand new extension of the long established “Land of Illusion” haunted amusement attraction site in Middletown, Ohio was introduced- “Land of Illusion Studio and Backlot.” Located off of St. Rt. 4, the 110 acre grounds on Thomas Road are a comprehensive film lot. Local entrepreneurs, Mark Ott (General Manager ) and Brett Oakley (owner), saw the need for their facility to boost the regional film industry.
The grounds feature permanently themed sets that include city scape’s, wooded areas, a school, mine shaft, full service bars (with full alcohol permit), an amphitheater and more. Sure to attract many out of region productions, they offer fully equipped construction and scene shop work space, green screens,space for a production office, gift shop, restaurant and full service housing to accommodate a crew of 21. Set equipment such as generators and portable lighting are also available. Crew and personnel listings are extensive as well, offering on-site medics, carpenters, fabricators, make-up artists, production assistants, gated security and a payroll administrator. It is site to behold as the tour seems never ending. (Thankfully they have golf carts.)
Though the site has been functional for a few years, hosting productions of the “reality” genre, the first LA based production helped to roll out the official debut as a full service studio and backlot. On March 25th., principal photography began for comedy / horror film “The Funhouse Massacre.” LA Director Andy Palmer and crew are settling in nicely and adjusting to the ever changing Ohio elements. The budget has not been disclosed at this point but when asked, Palmer confirmed it is “over $1 million, under $4 million.” Working under a tight production deadline, principle
photography will end April 19 with a projected release date of Halloween season, 2015.
Actor Robert Englund, best known for his role as Freddie Kruger in “Nightmare On Elm Street” is part of the principal cast of “The Funhouse Massacre” and is due to arrive on set within the next few weeks. Also cast is character actor Clint Howard, known for his offbeat roles but probably best known as the brother of Ron Howard. He is due to arrive within the first half of production.
“The Funhouse Massacre” production is the perfect scenario for what the regional film industry is focusing on. Economic development and job creation are on the forefront of the minds of “Land Of Illusion” owners and managers. Employing a year round staff, the bulk of business is generated by paintball outings and during the Fall for Halloween attractions. With the studio and backlot, the staff increases for production services. The need for regional production services was brought to manager Mark Ott by Dayton based producer Karri O’Reilly. “The Funhouse Massacre” is stimulating the regional economy by employing a local management agency, crew members, equipment rental, leasing 40 hotel rooms in Middletown and Dayton, hiring of local catering services, rental cars, gasoline and local restaurant outings. Producers for the film continue to filter in from LA and are have commented on the ease of travel and navigation of the Greater Dayton region. The advantages of our “90 minute” market is an added bonus to the attractive Ohio tax incentive for films of a larger budget.

It’s important for a team to strive to be the best. The Cincinnati Reds are the best in all of American sports at having the most self-serve beer taps available. Great American Ball Park has added 20 self-serve beer stations just in time for Opening Day (April 6)! Atlanta’s DraftServ Technologies confirms this is the largest install in any one stadium, according to national sales manager Tobi Pequignot.
Beer lovers will be able to pour their own Bud Light, Budweiser or Goose Island draft and pay by the ounce using a Beer card, that can be bought in the ballpark’s stores in denominations of $20 and $100.
You’ll pay about 39 cents an ounce for Bud products, while the Goose Island varietals will run about 54 cents per ounce. They say it takes about 20 seconds to fill your beer.
You’ll find these four taps draft machines at 10 locations around the stadium — six on the Terrace level (from foul pole to foul pole), three on the View level (at home plate between first and third base) and one in Champions Club.

Tilton’s Marathon Gas station, a Centerville Icon for 36 years, will close on March 29th forever. Known for car repairs and a convenient fuel stop at 199 N. Main Street, it has been a Centerville fixture in the community. The gas station and car repair bays are located across the street from Benham’s Grove on State Route 48.
A sign thanking customers for their patronage was placed in the window a couple of weeks ago. Also pasted to the window is a personal letter from Ted Tilton, the owner, explaining that he has decided to retire. It also states that he had tried to sell the business recently, with no success. Ted again thanks his loyal customers and hints that he and his wife will continue to live in town.
We wish Ted and his family the best in his retirement. We will miss having our cars fixed at this iconic little shop.

High energy music filled the air Thursday night at Austin Landing. Inside a huge party tent, Chuy’s Tex Mex Restaurant was hosting a bash and giving Daytonians their first taste of this Texas based chain.
Chuy’s managers and promoters were in from Austin, Lexington and Cincinnati to host the celebration of the new store. Even the mascot “Chuy the Redfish” was on hand. Raffle tickets were sold and all monies raised went to benefit Dayton Children’s Hospital.
The crowd was spoiled with margaritas. Mexican beers and a few drink samples. Also featured was a full blown nacho bar. This nacho bar featured a house cheese sauce, meat, refried beans and of course the homemade tortilla chips.
Also on the bar was a homemade salsa, an incredible house made guacamole, and a uniquely delicious creamy jalapeno sauce. Of course we topped our nachos with everything, including sliced jalapenos. The crowd ate and drank and learned about the new Tex Mex player in town. We share with you the highlights.
HERE’S THE SKINNY:
— Chuy’s Tex Mex has over 60 restaurants nationwide, with its corporate headquarters in Austin, TX
— Tentative opening date is slated sometime in the 3rd week of April, 2015.
— The management told us nothing is frozen here except ice cream and the kids french fries.
— The full menu can be seen HERE, but the preview tent featured a sample of the Nachos they have been serving up for nearly 33 years.
— Restaurant hallmarks include hand rolled tortillas, homemade guacamole, homemade house sauces and fresh lime juice on most dishes. Also big in their philosophy is community involvement.
— Check out Chuy’s signature drink menu HERE
All in all, the bash was a big success. Chuy’s staff kept it simple, fun and inviting. We will be back soon for a full blown Food Adventure. The King, Chef House, The Big Ragu and Hungry Jax are already scouring the menu for early favorites. Want more FOOD ADVENTURES of the Dayton area? Then “Like” them on Facebook HERE !

POLTERGEISTS:
As many of you may know, The Amber Rose is supposedly a haunted venue. The ghost is believed to be the daughter of the former house owner. She is a playful ghost named Genevieve Ksiezopolski aka “Chickie.” Employees have many stories of glasses flying off of shelves, lights being turned on and even the appearance of a poltergeist. Take for example this case, where a cook claimed to see a full apparition of a lady in a long dress who walked into the room, then turned and walked away. When the frightened cook alerted the staff, they quickly pulled the security surveillance camera footage. What they saw at the same time the cook claimed to encounter the ghost was this: click to see video.
A local, three person “ghost hunter” crew will be investigating the Amber Rose facility in the weeks leading up to the dinner. They have appeared on on National Television! Their work has been featured in “America’s Most Haunted,” “My Ghost Story”, and Haunted Ohio VI. Independent Paranormal Investigators Kat Powell and Shelly Suittor met in 1999 as tour guides for the Ohio State Reformatory, Prospect Place, and Snow Hill Country Club. Teaming up with Alicia Soich in 2012, they’ve logged hundreds of hours of field research and private investigations across the state.
What will their findings be? Will they be contacted by “Chickie” or some other poltergeist?
This promises to be the biggest and baddest Food Adventure to date. Get your tickets HERE before they are all gone. We are expecting a sellout crowd of about 100 foodies, beer lovers and fans of the supernatural. We will stick around for some cash bar drinks after the event and discuss beers and hauntings !
Join The Big Ragu, Hungry Jax, The King and Chef House for an unforgettable night of food, fun, and spirits.. literally and figuratively.

Warped Wing Brewing Company (WWBC) is excited to announce the release of its first seasonal IPA in cans. Self Starter Session IPA (5.2% ABV) will be released Monday, March 30th in Dayton and Cincinnati. This marks the 4th can released since the brewery’s opening in 2014.
Once, there lived an engineer. Innovator. And indefatigable holder of 186 patents. Who, in 1911, filed U.S. Patent No. 1,150,523. An electric starting device for automobiles. To not a single person’s disparagement, it ended the era of the hand-crank. Fitting, then, that you’ll be holding this. Named as much for the inventor. As for what he invented.
Self Starter. This session India Pale Ale is pale orange in color with copper highlights. Its citrus/fruity aroma and flavors comes from the Amarillo hops that were added during the boil and the dry hopping at the end of fermentation. The malt character is slightly bready or nutty to start. This beer finishes with a patently dry close. Carry on.
Self Starter will be available in the market from April thru August in both draught and cans. The beer will be tapped at the brewery this Thursday and draught and cans will be released to taverns, restaurants, and select retail accounts the following Monday.
