Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
Each June, we celebrate the men in our community by highlighting stories that speak to the gentlemen—and the people who love them. This month, we’re spotlighting four remarkable men making their mark in unique and inspiring ways. From police chiefs to authors, these are stories of passion, purpose and chasing dreams at any age.
The couple featured on page 28 are a former race car team whose journeys on and off the track are equally compelling. Their story reminded me of the surprising way Formula One (F1) racing found its way into my life. In the summer of 2020, most sports were canceled due to the pandemic, and as a family of avid sports fans, we were at a loss. One of the few events still happening was auto racing. I used to think it was just cars turning left on an endless loop—but then my oldest son discovered F1.
To my surprise, I fell for it. I love the European locales, the global drivers and the intricate tracks filled with hairpin turns. Move over Bud Light—F1 has upscale sponsors like Rolex and Louis Vuitton, and the announcers’ worldly accents make the commentary even more engaging. Best of all, F1 gave me and my son something new to bond over. We started watching every race together, no matter how wild the time zone.
Now, with my son away at college, we still text during every race. He competes on his school’s varsity Esports Sim racing team, so in addition to my weekend F1 races, I also get to cheer for my son in his video game races twice a week. (A quick mom brag: they finished first in the nation this year!) Later this month, a new F1 movie hits theaters—bring your kids and it might just spark a beautiful new bond for you, too.
We hope this issue brings that same spark—a mix of discovery, connection and appreciation for the men around us and the passions they pursue. Cheers to fast cars, strong bonds and stories that go the distance.

BUTLER COUNTY WARBIRDS MUSEUM BRINGS AVIATION HISTORY TO LIFE
For 25 years, the Butler County Warbirds Museum has been doing its part to help the next generation take flight. Guests at the Warbirds headquarters, a 1938 hangar located at the Middletown Regional Airport, are able to learn about military aviation history, gain an appreciation for veteran pilots and even enjoy a ride in a refurbished vintage plane.
“Forgotten lessons of the past are doomed to be repeated, unless taught to the next generation,” says Tim Epperhart, founding member of the Butler County Warbirds Museum. “We need role models that are more than pop stars.”
The Warbirds Museum hosts about two to three thousand guests every year and is part of the 2024-christened Ohio Air & Space Trail and the Dayton Aviation Trail. The Warbirds organization itself was created by a group of friends who shared a love of military aviation history.
“It all started with our 1943 PT-19 plane and a very small collection of artifacts,” Epperhart explains.
Today, the museum boasts a collection of more than 2,600 artifacts, ranging in age from the American Civil War to items representing the United States military's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Epperhart is the only remaining founding member, he receives plenty of assistance from other volunteers, many of them military veterans and their spouses.
Admission to the Butler County Warbirds Museum is free, but guests can always opt for a paid trip into the skies aboard an impressive selection of fully restored vintage planes. In fact, more than 200 individuals do just that every year.
Guests come from many different backgrounds and life experiences.
“Last weekend, we had a family from Japan visit, and they seemed impressed with the collection of World War II Japanese artifacts that we have,” Epperhart says. “A 4-year-old and his grandfather are regular visitors. And, I’ve given a ride to a 100-year-old Normandy Invasion veteran.”
The museum is funded by those affordable plane rides, in addition to grants, individual donations and community fundraising initiatives. They give back with free community events: Cookies with Santa and Candy Bomber events, which recreate a famous 1948 Berlin Airlift candy drop.
The museum also co-chairs Hops in the Hangar, proceeds of which support the Betty Stagg-Turner Memorial Scholarship for Women in Aviation. In conjunction with the Middletown Community Foundation and Tailwheel Aviation LLP, the Warbirds Museum began raising money for the scholarship in 2022 in memory of Betty Stagg-Turner, who was a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program. It celebrates her groundbreaking work and encourages women pursuing an interest in aviation. Stagg-Turner lived in Mason and passed away in 2003.
“She flew aircraft, not as a military member, but for the military in World War II,” Epperhart explains. “Betty was a strong advocate of women doing things that they historically weren't supposed to. She flew airplanes, rode motorcycles and she was just a blast to be around,” he adds.
Phase One of the scholarship planning included the collection of $10,000 to make the scholarship a permanent

endowment with the Middletown Community Foundation. Phase Two will be adding a North American AT-6 Texan to its aircraft collection. Stagg-Turner flew that model aircraft during her pilot career.
“Revenue from (rides in) that plane will be solely used to fund the scholarship,” Epperhart reports.
Epperhart believes that measures like the scholarship, in coordination with community events to fund it, can go a long way in keeping history alive for younger generations, as well as spreading awareness.
“The scholarship is a permanent endowment,” Epperhart says. “It will last forever.”
The Butler County Warbirds Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., with the exception of major holidays.
AN EPIC CRAFT BEER + AIRCRAFT EVENT–AUGUST 23, 4-9 PM
Save the date for the Hops in the Hangar event, co-chaired by the Butler County Warbirds Museum at Middletown Regional Airport, 4-9 p.m. on August 23.
• Thirty local craft breweries and a lineup of food trucks will offer top-notch refreshments.
• Overhead, guests will enjoy an astounding air show, complete with aerobatic performances and dizzying maneuvers.
• On the ground, additional historic aircraft and artifacts will be on display for close encounters and an enriching educational experience.
• All attendees must be aged 21 and over.
Proceeds benefit selected nonprofits and the Betty Stagg-Turner Memorial Scholarship for Women in Aviation.

THE ADVENTURES o f GT
LIBERTY TOWNSHIP AUTHOR GLENN T. ADDISON
PUBLISHES FIRST BOOK AT AGE 94
ARTICLE BY TERA MICHELSON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LEN KALTMAN
Glenn T. Addison is retired, but he’s busy. His interests vary: faith, family, work, history and travel. At 94 years old, the retired Korean War Navy Veteran and General Electric engineer has added a new career to his résumé: author. His new book, “Adventures of the Amazing Tom Thumb,” is his first published work, released by Fulton Books.
Inspired by the family lore of his father’s name, Addison went down a rabbit hole and discovered a topic for his book.
“I got curious about my father’s unusual name, ‘General T.,’” Addison shares. “He often went by ‘GT.’ It was speculated that he had been named after General Tom Thumb, the famous dwarf who also often went by ‘GT.’ My initials are the same—‘GT,’” he adds.
“Adventures of the Amazing Tom Thumb” is filled with more than 135 photos.
“Many of the pictures were from over 160 years ago and in black and white,” Addison explains. “My photographer Chuck Luksic added color and enhancements to many of the photos.”
“Grandma Moses started painting at the age of 78. I am 94 with a first book + a second coming soon.”
This curiosity led Addison to research the beloved international entertainer Charles S. Stratton, otherwise known as Tom Thumb. The book is a compelling account of Stratton’s life and career, following him around the world with famous showman P.T. Barnum.
— Author Glenn T. Addison
Addison took about three years to write the book. He penned it in his home’s basement office, the same space from which he led multiple entrepreneurial ventures over the 32 years he has lived in Liberty Township, including supporting his wife Freda Addison in a successful, pink Cadillac driving national sales career with Mary Kay. As is the case with most writers, Addison is an avid reader, inspired by the work of two favorite authors, Louis L’Amour and Richard Paul Evans. His writing is the beginning of a whole new career—a second piece he has written has been picked up by Fulton and is soon to come to print. And he has an idea for a third book.
“This proportionate dwarf, who at the age of 5 was only 25-inches tall, was discovered by P.T. Barnum, who made him a partner, celebrity and a millionaire,” Addison says.
“Grandma Moses started painting at the age of 78,” he says. “I am at 94 with a first book and a second coming soon.”

As West Chester Township’s new Police Chief, Brian Rebholz, steps into a new title, he’s continuing a 32-year journey of service, leadership and community connection. From his early days as a K-9 officer to his time as a detective and SWAT team member, Rebholz has built a career around his commitment to teamwork, adaptability and a deep respect for
Meet West Chester Township’s New Police Chief Brian Rebholz
“As a leader, I’ve come to realize the importance of every individual + the value they bring to the department.” - Brian Rebholz
those he serves. Now, as Chief, he’s carrying those values forward with a clear focus on strengthening the department from within.
“As a leader, I’ve come to realize the importance of every individual and the value they bring to the department,” Rebholz shares.
His style of policing centers around kindness and integrity, as influenced by his father, a St. Bernard police officer for 29 years. That belief drives his top priorities: recruitment, employee development and embracing new technology. By investing in people and innovation, he’s shaping a police force that meets the community’s needs today while also building for the future.
Rebholz applies that same team-focused mindset to recruitment, seeking motivated individuals who share the department’s vision and values.
"We’re looking for the best of the best,” he emphasizes. "I have an incredible staff, from the
record section all the way up to command. With a team of great people, I find that the best solution sometimes comes from the least tenured person in the department."
Rebholz also prioritizes employee development.
“Studies show that highly trained officers are less likely to be involved in critical incidents,” he states. “Every move they make is questioned and documented. We want them to be safe, and we want them to be right. When our officers are well-trained, disciplined and committed, everyone benefits—the department, the township and most importantly, the public.”
In addition to skills training, the department places a strong focus on mental health, offering peer support groups and other resources to ensure officers have the necessary support to perform their duties successfully.
Rebholz served seven years in the U.S. Air Force + is a veteran of Desert Storm + Desert Shield.
“When our officers are well-trained, disciplined + committed, everyone benefits—the department, the township + most importantly, the public.”
- Brian Rebholz, West Chester Police Department Chief
Alongside building a well-rounded team, Rebholz recognizes the increasing role of technology in modern policing. When used thoughtfully and strategically, modern tools can offer vital assistance.
“If technology enhances our mission and increases our operational efficiencies and effectiveness, then it’s something we should consider,” he explains.
Technology and community partnership go hand in hand in his approach to public safety. Tools like Flock cameras that recognize license plates can provide crucial data. Citizens can also elect to register their home Ring cameras with police to help with investigations.
in investigations, he stresses that participation in that program is completely voluntary.
Chief Rebholz underscores the impact of his officers on the community, from crisis negotiations to everyday acts of kindness. Whether it’s buying a meal for someone in need, covering the cost of a hotel for the night or helping replace a worn-out tire—all out of their own pockets—his officers go above and beyond.
“We hear it all the time,” he says proudly, “our officers are fantastic.”

“These systems help the department respond effectively to incidents,” he explains.
While he urges residents to register their Ring cameras with the department for potential access
The community’s unwavering support, evident in the recent passing of joint police and fire levies, demonstrates a deep commitment to public safety.
“The community is such a force multiplier for us,” Rebholz says. “The more we engage with each other, the better off we’re going to be.”

MOTORSPORTS DUO SHARE ABOUT 26-YEAR FORMULA ATLANTIC RACING CAREER
WEEKEND RACE TEAM
PHOTOGRAPHY
Cookie + Barry Burke with a fireproof race suit worn by Barry during his racing career.
During the week, the Burke family was like any other busy West Chester neighbors—commuting to work, cooking dinner and mowing the yard. But when the weekends came, they would head to the nearest racetrack for a weekend of amateur car racing.
The need for speed started at the foot of the Duryea Hillclimb in Reading,
“I took the Lotus back to Pennsylvania and raced Duryea Hillclimb two or three times,” he explains. “I decided I didn’t want to just race it—I wanted to win it.”
He never did win the Duryea, but Barry did set a record for another race.
“I set a track record for the Pagoda that lasted 11 years,” he says with a smile.
Eventually they traded the Lotus
“RACING AND CARS WERE ALWAYS IN MY BLOOD.” – BARRY BURKE
Pennsylvania, where high school sweethearts Barry and Cookie both grew up. The road was named after Charles Duryea, the first American gasoline-powered car manufacturer—the Duryea Hillclimb was a practice track for his cars.
“Racing and cars were always in my blood,” Barry says. “It wasn’t until 1979 when I first got involved in autocross in Cincinnati, racing a Camaro Z28.”
Soon they bought a red Lotus 51, an open-wheel Formula Ford that both he and his daughter Jennifer drove in autocross races, with Crew Chief Cookie in the pit on the headset. Everything shifted into high gear once Barry got a taste for the competition.
for a Formula Atlantic class car, FA32, and began calling Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course their home track.
“Mid-Ohio is the closest track to us, but it’s also one of the nicest in the U.S,” says Cookie.
When the checkered flag dropped, it was all business.
“Mid-Ohio is a very challenging track,” says Barry. “In its 2½ miles, I would shift 26 times a lap. In the backstretch, I’d go from 160 miles per hour to 50 in about a 100-foot length, and then make a 90-degree turn,” he explains.
“Brakes were important,” Cookie states, eyes wide.
Barry and Cookie enjoyed the world of racing for more than the competition

MADE HAVE BEEN FOR A LIFETIME.”

and thrill of the challenge: racing became their social lives and a second family.
“We made friends from all over the U.S and all around the world,” says Cookie. “It’s a really good family. Even through today, we have really close friends from racing. The friendships we’ve made have been for a lifetime.”
In 2005, the Burkes retired from racing, but they went out on top.
“When it got to be more work than fun, it was time to retire,” Barry shares. “In 2005, we had 2 pole [positions], 2 firsts and 2 seconds. I said, ‘Okay, I’m done,’” he says.
Barry and Cookie are still a team; they celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary in April. Their racing era is preserved in a room in their home: photos, trophies and gear are on display to stir up happy memories for the racing couple.
“It all started with the Hillclimb,” Barry says.

EMMY-WINNING FILMMAKER JOE VELLA
TELLS STORIES ON A NATIONAL STAGE
Midwest Mindset
ARTICLE BY A.J. LAPE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOE VELLA + PROVIDED BY BAYONET MEDIA
Photo by Joe Vella
Joe Vella won four Emmys before he even left Ball State in 2010—something he humbly “tries not to think about.” His business is now based in Indianapolis.
Lakota West graduate Joe Vella is an Emmy-winning filmmaker whose campaigns span powerhouse brands like Disney, AT&T and Toyota. As co-owner and Visual Director of Bayonet Media, he’s crafted a career around cinematic storytelling that leaves a mark. From the mouthwatering pull of a cheese pizza to the smooth pour of good bourbon, his work has snagged multiple Emmys for cinematography, documentaries and commercials that resonate with audiences nationwide.
Despite the accolades, Vella says the foundation of his projects is still grounded in the same Midwest values he was taught in West Chester as a kid: work hard, treat people well and listen like it matters.
“People in the Midwest listen more than they talk,” he shares. “[Others] might have more pizzazz, but we Midwesterners process what people say first, think and then respond.”
That instinct—to listen first, work smarter—has shaped his entire approach. Whether collaborating with clients or capturing real moments on film, he focuses on understanding stories before telling them.
A high school teacher first told Vella about Ball State University, setting him on a path he hadn’t yet imagined. It wasn’t until he enrolled in a video class there that he discovered his true passion: telling stories through the lens of a camera.
Having played volleyball at West and later at Ball State, Vella brings a team-first mindset to every production.
“When working with clients,” he states, “my process starts with sitting down and reading through the brief before brainstorming ideas, often alongside a writer.”
Next comes storyboarding—a stage he especially enjoys.
“That’s where I really like it because you're literally thinking about every frame and what the camera is going to do,” Vella continues. “You sit with the storyboard artist, draw out every frame and time everything specifically so the ad isn’t too long or too short— you know exactly what you’re going to get.”
Vella doesn’t credit one big break for his success.
“Everyone thinks it’s all about making a splash, but it’s kind of a grind,” he explains.
CONTINUED >
One early win: Vella worked on sets like “Parenthood” and “Californication” shortly after graduation. Around the same time, he wrote a PBS grant and secured $10,000 to produce a documentary—an experience that helped get his and his partner’s name out there.
Soon after, the two landed a Walmart partnership, producing a steady stream of commercials across Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky for two years.
“I don’t think they realized we were like 21 at the time,” he says, laughing.
Building on that early momentum, Vella honed a specialty in the food and beverage tabletop market, his cinematic style capturing the visual experience of a product. He has produced compelling narratives for brands like Makers Mark, Jim Beam, Bakers, Papa Murphy’s Pizza and Hard Truth.
Beyond his Emmy-recognized pieces, Vella has directed and contributed to several standout films like “Food That Saves You”—a short narrative film exploring grief and healing through shared passions— and “How Not to Mess Up Christmas Cookies”—a digital series for the Food Network, blending culinary instruction with storytelling.
In addition to his commercial achievements, Vella earned an Emmy nod for cinematography in the documentary “Pressing On: The Letterpress Film,”—an inside look at the artisans preserving the fading craft of letterpress printing.
For aspiring filmmakers, Vella’s advice is simple: just start.
“You’ve got to get out and start doing it. Like, get an iPhone, shoot your video on there, edit on your phone because the only way you’re going to learn, is to do,” he coaches. “Don’t only watch the classics. Watch YouTube stars, TikTok stars, all of it. That’s the fun part—you get to watch all the TV shows and movies and call it research.”
Even as his stories reach audiences from L.A. to New York, Vella’s approach stays true to his roots: thoughtful, hardworking and always ready to let the story take the spotlight.
