Vol. 27, No. 4

Residents urge Board of Education, district administrators to look at cost of future plans

Taxes were the topic of choice for the better part of the evening as Oakwood school officials on Monday hosted a two-hour town hall meeting to discuss the district’s proposed master facilities plan which will shape Oakwood schools for the next generation. More than a dozen residents, school parents, students and alumni spoke at the forum, voicing both support for updating the city’s schools, portions of which date to as early as 1909, and concerns over what the proposed changes will cost taxpayers. The school district was initially considering a full range of proposals, including replacing the existing four school buildings – Smith and Harman elementary schools, Lange School and the combined Oakwood High School and Junior High building – with a single K-12 campus, to reconfiguring standing structures or arranging buildings by grade level, including a proposal to make Smith a kindergarten through third school, with fourth through sixth grades at Harman. Faced with stiff community opposition to the single campus proposal, district officials last week announced there would be no “full demolition” of any Oakwood school, but left open the possibility of partial demolition of existing structures to accommodate classroom expansion and modernization. “Our job is to listen,” Oakwood Schools Superintendent Dr. Kyle Ramey told the gathering. “We want to make sure we know what the community wants.” “One thing that strikes me going through the schools is how archaic they are,” one school parent told district officials. “They don’t fit what the teachers and students need. I would like to have a better learning environment. Things change, that’s life.”

While there were clear calls for building and classroom improvements at the meeting, a majority of those in attendance Monday were more mindful of the bottom line, asking what impact proposed changes at the schools will have their tax bills. Oakwood resident and realtor Jill Aldineh questioned the school board retaining outside architects and consultants at a cost of $260,000 to draw up proposals, saying the board “should have had feedback from the taxpayers before any architectural firm was hired.” She also objected to the retention of outside consultants when a no-fee assessment of the Oakwood school buildings was available from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, which the district has already incorporated into the planning process. “The process is to look at these beautiful old buildings and determine how are we going to sustain and maintain them,” Ramey said. “While we’re doing that we also want to look at what other options are there. It’s to enter into a conversation about how are we going to take care of these beautiful buildings, that’s what we’re doing. That’s what we’re spending the money on.” “We know there are not unlimited dollars to do whatever we want. We don’t take tax dollars for granted,” Oakwood City Schools Treasurer Kevin Philo responded. “We try to stretch every single dollar as far as we can. We understand it is not limitless. Oakwood taxes are 10 to 15 percent higher than Centerville or Kettering, but there are seven places in Montgomery County that have a higher tax rate than Oakwood.” The school board said nothing has been decided as yet, other than no buildings will be completely demolished, and a Feb. 28 meeting

has been scheduled in the Oakwood High School auditorium to present the community with the first round of formal options for the future – along with a specific budget, tax millage and the local tax impact for each proposal, according to Mike Ruetschle of Ruetschle Architects, one of the consultants retained by the district. Ruetschle said that the district is looking to state money, particularly Ohio’s Expedited Local Partnership Program, to fund up to 26 percent of improvements made to Oakwood schools. However, Ruetschle said districts applying for those state funds must bring buildings being renovated to state standards; most of Oakwood’s current classrooms fall below state recommended standards. He also said Lange School has too few students enrolled to be eligible for ELPP funding. With a 2002 bond levy which funded the last round of school additions and renovations – which first appeared on Oakwood tax bills in 2003 - not set to expire until 2031, and city voters approving a 1.8-mill, five-year permanent improvement renewal levy just last year, a number of residents pushed the board on controlling costs as they look to future plans. “Taxes here are outrageous,” said 17-year Oakwood resident Colleen Smith. “I would like to ask the board to look at prioritizing what really needs to be done. As their kids graduate the families move out of Oakwood because they can’t afford the taxes. They really do have to look at the taxes and prioritize what really has to be done and I think the community will support that. What is absolutely necessary to support the buildings. I won’t support more than what is necessary.” “The minimum is we have to see

Oakwood students show off talents at Young@Art Feb. 3

Young@Art, an annual showcase of student artistic and performing talent, is planned from 7-10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Oakwood High School. Entertainment at the family-oriented extravaganza includes visual art from Harman, Smith, Oakwood junior and senior high schools, as well as performances by the jazz band, orchestra, and a capella groups, theatre and play cuttings; creative writing readings from students of all ages, an Art Off demonstration, as well as solo and small group performances of musical talents from grades 1-12. The evening also will feature a silent auction fundraiser.

what has to be done, then we go to that dream state of ‘we’re going to do everything.’ We have to incorporate costs here, and we’re not doing a good job of being informed what those costs are,” said Barb Erbe. “I don’t see why we’re talking about these huge renovation of the schools when we as a community don’t want to pay for that dream school. Our taxes are already high enough, so why waste our time discussing that option?” “What are the particular needs that are being addressed by these

Is this is something that has to be done to compete with other schools in the area,” asked one Dellwood Avenue resident. “What are the needs that are being addressed by these plans?” Others questioned the need to update Oakwood schools to comply with state standards, particularly in regards to classroom size. “If people are looking at best practices they should be coming here to see what it looks like, not us going somewhere else,” said another resident. “What See Cost on page 6 u

Speech, Debate Team heads to District competition

The Oakwood High School Speech and Debate team heads to the District Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 3, at Centerville High School, hoping to qualify even more team members for the State Tournament. Team members competed at Mason High School on Saturday, Jan. 27, taking the third place trophy in team sweepstakes. Oakwood had a very impressive showing in program oral interpretation with junior Brenna Campbell finishing sixth, freshman Lane Bokros finishing fifth, senior Ben Wilson finishing third, and sophomore Sophie Soller finishing second. Sophmore Allie Wilson, not to be outdone by her brother, finished fifth in dramatic interpretation. Juniors Grace Hutton and Myra Hamilton

Oakwood spellers set sights on National Spelling Bee

Three Oakwood students could be on their way to Scripps National Spelling Bee after winning at the local level. Thirty-three Oakwood students in grades 4-8 participated in the district spelling bee on Thursday, Jan. 25, at Harman School. The students reached the district level after winning in their own buildings. The district competition went eight rounds before Harman fourth grader Lani O’Shaughnessy won the overall competition, spelling formaldehyde and tete a tete correctly. Fifth grad-

er Ceci Montes De Oca was the Smith Elementary winner and seventh grader Austin Choi won for the Junior High. All three building winners can now join other winners from the Miami Valley in the next round, held as an online test. Scripps officials will then choose a top percentage of spellers from that test and have those spellers compete in another round of online competition. Oakwood teachers Paula Hawkey, Kim Giancola and Sarah Schleehauf coordinated this year’s competition.

City firefighters dispatched to garage fires on Oakwood Ave.

Two garages in the 300 block of Oakwood Avenue were damaged in an early morning fire Tuesday. Two engines and nine Oakwood firefighters were dispatched to the scene at 4:20 a.m. Tuesday morning. The blaze, which damaged two detached garages on Oakwood Avenue, apparently started in a trash can near one of the structures.

Dayton Power and Light crews were called due to power lines in the area, and city crews applied salt to nearby roadways to prevent water runoff freezing in the area. Oakwood Public Safety Chief Alan Hill said firefighters remained on scene for approximately two hours. The fire remains under investigation.

found similar success, finishing third in duo interpretation. Junior Cameron Hendrix also contributed to the team’s finish, placing second in international extemporaneous speaking. Senior Bella Fiore finished first in original oratory, earning her fourth and final bid to the State tournament. In congressional debate, junior Claire Aguiar finished sixth and junior Colman Smith finished

fourth. Several other debaters were scrambled into different events and partnerships than they were in for the rest of the season, but they rose to the challenge, with both hybrid public forum debate teams placing. Senior Madelynn Einhorn and sophomore Gavin Enseleit finished sixth, while seniors Madeline Groff and Sara Pierce finished fifth. Earlier in the month, the team traveled to Wooster, where junior Lydia Beyer made it to the semifinals of humorous interpretation, junior Charlie Almoney made it to the semifinals of U.S. extemporaneous speaking, and seniors Einhorn and Pierce made it to the quarterfinals of public forum debate.

Oakwood taxpayers are out $260,000 for school study

First and foremost, we fully support our students, teachers and schools. What concerns us is the mismanagement of funds earmarked for maintaining the quality and excellence of our school system. Oakwood City Schools and historic preservation are the primary reasons that people choose to live here. $260,000 of taxpayer money was spent on studies regarding a proposal to tear down existing schools and replace with one K-12 campus without any public input. This is just one example of rampant spending and under who’s authority? Where are the checks and balances? That option is now off the table, but the money is still gone (wasted) and another tax levy is in the works. Why? At the very least, this is poor judgment and a failure of fiduciary responsibility to Oakwood taxpayers. Oakwood property and income taxes are among the highest in the nation - an average 43 percent higher than Bellbrook property taxes and 200 percent of the national average according to a study by the Urban Institute. Continued increases in property taxes could likely result in decreased property values. Another important factor

to consider, especially at this time, is the very good possibility of the interest rate rising which causes affordability of home ownership to go down and prices likely to go down. The new tax code for 2018 now limits total state, local and property tax maximum deductions to $10,000; another affordability factor. The unlimited and unnecessary spending by Dr. Ramey and the school board cannot go unchecked by the taxpayers any longer. With no estimated increase in enrollment numbers expected for at least 10 years, the current schools are more than sufficient. Thoughtless spending of our tax dollars will not improve an already exemplary school system. Our students perform at a high level across the board and have done so for over 100 years in the same buildings. Consider the example of Dayton Public School’s decision to spend $627 million dollars on new construction without any improvement in district performance. This clearly shows tearing down or altering at tremendous cost to taxpayers does nothing for learning! Dr. Ramey’s call for central air will, by his own estimate, cost

“many millions” of taxpayer dollars and is totally unnecessary five weeks out of the year, partial AC and window units keep students comfortable (These are the same students who walk home in sub-zero weather). Maintaining and improving our school buildings can be done at a reasonable cost to taxpayers with a fiscally responsible and business-minded school board open to cost control (competitive bidding on projects), reasonable requests and community involvement including volunteers and business owners. I am saying this as a concerned parent, property owner, citizen of Oakwood, and Oakwood Realtor. Please join me in calling for accountability and transparency from our superintendent, school board and city leaders. Please feel free to contact me and share your thoughts on this very important matter. Oakwood is a great community and our home. Jill Aldineh Thruston Blvd. (937) 698-2858 [email protected]

Summer in winter: Enjoy the warm tastes and colors of summer year-round

By Wolfgang Puck Tribune Content Agency It’s only natural for many home cooks to want to combat the chilly surroundings of winter by cooking foods that are robust and warming, including thick soups and slow-simmered braises and stews. Bell peppers are typically a summer crop if you grow them yourself. But you can find them year-

round in any supermarket. Precooked - the peppers by roasting under the broiler, the scallion greens by briefly boiling - to make the textures tender and their flavors sweeter and milder, these warm-weather vegetables are then rolled up inside pieces of flattened chicken breast, which are then browned on the stovetop and quickly finish cooking in the oven.

A truly magnificent marinara!

Roasted Chicken Breasts with Yellow and Red Bell Peppers 4 boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise in half 3 tablespoons vegetable oil Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1 yellow bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 2 bunches scallions 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 4 tablespoons dry sherry 1/2 cup heavy cream 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature Preheat the broiler. Coat the chicken breast pieces with a little oil. Place 2 pieces, spaced apart, in a large, heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm). Repeat with the remaining pieces. Lightly season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the yellow and red bell peppers under the broiler and cook, turning, until their skins are completely charred. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel off

the charred skins. Cut each pepper into 8 pieces and remove the stems, seeds and veins. Set aside. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. Cut off the green parts of 8 scallions. Immerse the 8 scallion greens in the boiling water for about 15 seconds, then remove them with tongs or a wire skimmer and transfer to the ice water. Drain and set aside. Place 1 scallion green and a piece each of the yellow and red bell peppers lengthwise on top of each flattened chicken piece. Starting at a narrow end, roll up to enclose the vegetables and securely tie each piece closed with 2 lengths of kitchen string. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When the oil is hot enough to swirl easily, carefully turn the skillet to coat its bottom. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the skillet

to the preheated oven and cook the chicken for 15 minutes longer. Remove from the oven, use tongs to transfer the chicken to a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Cut the remaining scallions in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil. When it is hot enough to swirl easily, add the scallions and saute, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and sherry, and cook until reduced in volume by about two-thirds, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream and simmer, stirring, until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to very low and, a little at a time, add the butter, whisking continuously. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of four heated serving plates or a heated platter. Snip off the strings from the chicken breasts, cut each piece crosswise into 4 to 6 slices, and arrange them attractively on top of the sauce.

‘Waes Hael’…

Garden Dine Love! Garden

The bulk of our time is spent indoors this season so consider houseplants to reduce stress, provide natural remedies and help purify the air. English Ivy: Low profile, place anywhere. Spider plant: Thrives in hanging planter, reproduces quickly. Aloe: For kitchen (and summer sun!) burns. Bamboo Palm - Can reach 12-by-5 feet! An easy indoor plant but needs frequent watering in a pot with good drainage.

Dine

Wassailing in the New Year is an old custom! The name originates from an Anglo-Saxon phrase ‘waes hael’ meaning ‘good health.’ It’s a drink of hot mulled fruit cider - in agricultural communities, farmers would pour the first cup on a tree believing that serving the crops would bring an abundant year.

Wassail

4 cups Apple Juice 4 cups Cranberry Juice 2 cups Orange Juice 2 cups water Juice of one lemon 1 tablespoon of demerara sugar or 1/3 c. honey 1 orange sliced 1 lemon sliced 3 cinnamon sticks 1 inch ginger sliced 6 cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground clove 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds

Pour apple, cranberry, orange and lemon juice and water in large stock pot on a low heat. Add honey or sugar. Once dissolved add lemon and orange slices, ginger, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, then add remaining spices. Keep on a low heat and enjoy. Add sherry or brandy for an adult version.

Around 40 percent of us make resolutions but only 8 percent keep them. So how can you make positive changes that last more than a few weeks or months? “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny,” Mahatma Gandhi once said. If you’ve ever tried to stop a behavior - eating sweets, smoking, whatever, you know how difficult it is to break a bad habit. The key, then, is not to stop the habit but to change it. Replacing unhealthy habits with healthier ones is easier and more effective! Start small: Did you hit a wall because, in your enthusiasm for self-improvement, your goals went from intrepid to delusional in a 30 day attempt to ‘reinvent’ yourself? Instead, set reasonable and specific

actions that you need to accomplish in order to achieve your goals. Rather than, “I’m going to exercise more” try, “After breakfast I will take a 20 minute walk.” If you’re not definite about what you want to achieve, it’s easy to lose motivation. Create, don’t eliminate: Instead of “I will lose 10 pounds”, try, “I will achieve a toned body within my healthy weight range.” When you decide to create something, there is a willingness to work towards it, an understanding it takes some time to achieve and a sense that there is going to be a permanent life change. Habit-forming: By being specific about the activity, scheduling a time where it is the priority and thinking through potential obstacles that prevent your commitment, a long-term routine is established… Of significance: Many of our life-long habits begin in childhood, then catch up in adulthood for better or worse! Consequently, it’s important to teach children good habits such as eating healthy foods, a substantial breakfast, stop eating when full, get plenty of sleep, limit screen time, exercise, etc. Your actions today will shape your child’s habits, values and destiny. Attitudes are contagious so make yours worth catching. Cheers to a year of living positively. Oakwood residents Emily and Sam Pelligra are co-founders of Garden Dine Love, a lifestyle company.

Then and Now: Local photographer interprets Wright Brothers images at Wright Library exhibit

The Wright Brothers, best known for inventing the airplane, were also accomplished photographers. At a time when taking photographs was not an easy process, they used photography to document years of experimentation that led to the invention of flight. Join local photographer Dan Cleary at Wright Memorial Public

Library at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 4, for “Then and Now: Wright Brothers Photography,” a discussion about his new series of photographs that integrate original Wright Brothers images with current images of the same locations. Included are photographs taken at Kitty Hawk, N. C., Huffman Prairie and other Dayton loca-

tions. Cleary, who was recently commissioned to produce a piece of art for the Wilmington-Stroop Library titled “Deeds, Kettering and Delco” will have a limited number of signed photographs for sale at the presentation. The event is free and open to the public. No advance registration is required.

u Cost from page 1 I haven’t heard is what will the students be able to do that they’re missing now?” Ruetschle cited cafeteria overcrowding in the high school and junior high as one example driving the need for building improvements, but a high school senior told the gathering that lunch hours at the high school are not staggered – a common practice at most school districts to reduce congestion and lunch lines – forcing everyone in the school to eat lunch at the same time. Ruetschle also characterized the gymnasium at Harman is “woe-

fully inadequate.” “I believe that everyone here has the schools’ and kids’ best interests in mind, and the community’s best interest at heart,” said a Volusia resident. “I’m intrigued by the menu of options that we’re thinking of as a community, but I feel like the information I have been provided is vague. I bought all of Oakwood... the charm, the beauty, the community, the leaky house, the falling off porch and the high taxes. I bought the whole shebang. And I bought the schools. I feel I need a better understanding of where our challenges are so I that I can have a better approach

to what our options are. What are the long-term educational plans?” “The reason we selected Oakwood is because of the uniqueness of the community,” Erbe told the school board, “so I hope these options maintain that community. You have to keep in mind what makes Oakwood unique.” A public meeting to present school proposals and budgets is planned for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28, in the OHS auditorium. A second community town hall meeting to discuss school proposals is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, at the OHS auditorium.

Brighton Beach Memoirs 8pm He has holes in his shoes and liver on the dinner table, but all teenage Eugene Jerome can think of is girls, baseball and writing - in that order.

Dancer epitomizes spirit of Dayton Ballet; Jewish Chorale performs at joint service; Playhouse production of Beehive offers an on-stage education

This article has been something I have wanted to do for years. Dayton Ballet, to me, is a part of Dayton. We knew the Schwarz sisters; their father was my Scoutmaster. The ballet was a regular feature of music at the Dayton Art Institute and was, often, one of my weekend activities. When we returned to Dayton, the ballet, and the Philharmonic, were an important part of our welcome to Dayton arts. Within a few years, we had a ballerina of our own when our daughter Beth began her training and her tenure with the company. We have personally known generations of the dancers and have watched them enter the dance world. As the company became professional, we met young artists from far and wide who were part of the Ballet and of Dayton. Their stories are exciting and appealing. Now, I am going to use one of our finest dancers and her journey to exemplify this vital part of our heritage. Halliet Slack joined the company 14 years ago. Originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, she was exposed to dance through the enthusiasm of her mother. Lessons revealed that Halliet had an unusual gift and like so many families, her talent was nurtured. By the age of 10, Halliet was already spending summers with such impressive companies as the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Always a scholarship student, she spent summers in Boston, Houston and Philadelphia. Then, she attended the North Carolina School of the Arts. This led to a contract with the prestigious Pennsylvania Ballet. There, Halliet met Dayton Ballet superstar Jeff Gribler, her first Dayton connection. The history of every dance career is checkered with upheavals in the companies. Dancers, buoyed by their art and talent, survive these interruptions. Auditions in New York led Halliet to the Richmond Ballet for five years Again, budgets in Richmond and her father’s ill-health entered the picture, prompting a change. Ballet networking and her friendship with former Dayton Ballet dancer Emily Gottschalk led to an audition with Dayton Ballet and Dermot Burke, then Artistic Director. Halliet was very impressed with Dermot’s forthrightness and the ambiance of the company. She immediately began to be a star. In Dayton Ballet, you can be a star in principal and solo roles as well as in the corps. Halliet is devoted to always looking her best, no matter what the role. As a dance devotee and a reviewer of ballet, I can say that Halliet is

an imposing figure on stage and an inspired dancer. I asked Halliet what she found at Dayton Ballet, what she brought to Dayton Ballet and how she feels about the Dayton community. Every one of her responses was positive and enthusiastic. She found a company of good dancers who were well-versed in many roles. Her experience with several companies and with many choreographers melded with the other dancers’ rich experiences. Dayton’s support of the arts, of the ballet, was also very ingratiating. Now, Halliet has made Dayton her home, married a wonderful young man whom we have met. Mike is a devoted physical education teacher in Dayton Public Schools. They find the parallel of dance and phys-ed very enriching. Halliet is embarking on a career in physical therapy. Her dance experience should enhance her second career. Reading my reviews of Halliet, I found them full of praise for her beauty as a dancer. I take notice of a few unusual roles. As Dr. Jekyll’s lover in Hyding Inside, she used her power to keep the irony of the drama with a darling touch of humor. I remember her in so many roles, even as a native American squaw! As a veteran of 14 Nutcrackers, she has danced nearly every role with verve and beauty. Halliet has retired from ballet. She sustained a serious injury, a torn plantar fascia, that has been painful and very limiting. It has forced her retirement at age 37. Her goal was to dance until 40. Halliet’s chronological age is only a number. Her grace and beauty have been and will be remembered as timeless and wonderful. To Halliet, we thank you for your brilliant dance career and wish you great success as a helpful therapist. hhh We read “buy local.” A good idea and best illustrated by an exciting musical adventure of “buying local.” Thanks to the ingenuity and passion of Cantor Jenna Greenberg of BethAbraham Synagogue, the Dayton Jewish Chorale has entered the music, and religious, scene. A chorus of 25 singers, with sopranos outnumbering the male voices by a large margin, have been giving concerts in many venues. I have observed their continued improvement and growth, adding instrumental soloists to enrich the music. From the beginning, they have been accompanied by Bernadette O’Connor, a stellar pianist. Cantor Andrea Raizen and Courtney Cummings add their professional voices. Their latest concert, sponsored by the Dayton Jewish Federation, was a joint service of the synagogues of Dayton held at the Art Institute’s magnificent Gothic Cloister. It included Pam Schwartz flute, lawyer Ken Krochmal, guitar and music

professor Dr. Sam Dorf on viol da gamba. How classy is that! This is a marvelous addition to Dayton’s music environment. Perhaps more such joint services will magnify the experience and joy. Congratulations to Jenna Greenberg, all the rabbis and cantors and to the devoted choristers and musicians. Please keep it up! hhh Beehive! The Dayton Playhouse! The 60’s musical! As a classical music nerd, I expected nothing. Experiencing the musical, 90 minutes of continuous song and choreography, I received everything. It was a history lesson, a fashion lesson, a music lesson. It brought six incredible ladies to the stage to render all the lessons non-stop. The cast: Tamar Fishbein, Shanna Comacho,

Kailey Yeakley, Madeline Hart, Elana Elmore and Alice Walton took Tina McPhearson’s direction, Annette Looper’s choreography and the musical score, played by six gifted musicians directed by Ron Kindell, to the skies. Each of the stars had solos, each provided choreographed back-up. Together, they generated an unforgettable evening. The history lesson took us through the election of President Kennedy, his murder. Through the inspiration of Martin Luther King and his murder. Bobby Kennedy was murdered as were nearly 1.5 million on both sides of the Vietnam War. So many gains were made in civil rights, in women’s rights. So many losses when drugs became a culture

and killed more than the war - and continue to kill. As the decade ripened, styles - hair, skirt lengths, fashions changed. There were continuous costume changes, director Tina estimated six per actor. Wigs - indescribable - morphing from major construction to the natural cacophony hair of Janis Joplin. Each character grew in stature and influence. Tamar had the role as chorus to the play. Others became the iconic singers of the time. To do the cast justice, I will repeat their names for proper recognition and emphasis: Tamar Fishbein, Shanna Comacho, Kailey Yeakley, Madeline Hart, Elana Elmore and Alice Walton. Congratulations to each of them and to Dayton Playhouse.

Dayton Philharmonic performs Stained Glass Concert at Calvary Missionary Baptist Church

On Sunday, Feb. 11, at 5 p.m., Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra musicians, under the leadership of Artistic Director and Conductor Neal Gittleman, will travel to Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, 2067 N. Gettysburg Ave. in Dayton to perform the second Stained Glass Series Concert. The concert is free and open to the public with no ticket required. The Stained Glass Concert will feature Mozart’s melodic Symphony No. 35, known as the “Haffner” Symphony. Mozart was commis-

sioned to write the piece in haste for the ennoblement of Salzburg magistrate Herr Siegmund Haffner in 1792. The four movements of Mozart’s beautiful symphony will be interspersed with two additional works. The first is the second movement from the ensemble work American Standard by modern American composer John Adams, written in 1973. The second is a work by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a composer and conductor with a diverse background: his mother was from England and his father

was a Creole from Sierra Leone. Coleridge-Taylor is most famous for his cantata Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast. For this year’s Stained Glass concerts, the DPO will perform Coleridge-Taylor’s lively Novelette. The third and final Stained Glass Concert of the season will be held at 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 8, at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, 5301 Free Pike in Trotwood, OH. For more information on the Feb. 11 concert, call the DPAA at 2243521, or visit www.daytonperformingarts.org/stainedglass.

Jills lose to Wildcats, Eagles; will end season vs. Middletown Madison, Monroe, Stivers The Jills lost to Franklin 59-67 Thursday night in Southwestern Buckeye League conference play. The Jills came out slow as Franklin netted their first four baskets to quickly take the lead. The Wildcat offense was led by Franklin junior Layne Ferrell, who was able to cover the paint and score uncontested. The Jills fought back with each possession and went into the half down 19-33. Coach Jeremy Finn made adjustments and the Jills came out attacking the basket as Kylie Neff and Margie Conrath each added 14 points on the night. The Jills chipped away at the Wildcat lead as they outscored Franklin in the third and fourth quarters 40-34 and were within 3 points with 1:10 minutes left in the game, but the Jills just couldn’t keep possession as they turned it over and had to put Ferrell, the SWBL’s free throw leader, on the line who went 14-of-14 for the night. Oakwood’s Lauren Hapgood ended the night leading the Jills with 26 points and 3 assists. Kylie Foos added 3 points and 3 steals. Neff pulled down 9 rebounds and Kyndall Ketterer added 5. The Jills dropped a tough contest to Bellbrook 30-61 on Saturday. The Eagles come into the game 8-2 in the conference, with both of their loses to Valley View. The Eagles pressed the Jills and were able to quickly put up 7

points and continued to dominate the first quarter, but the Jill countered as they were able to break the Eagle’s press. The Jills started to find the open player and took the second quarter from the Eagles as they went into the half down 21-27. Unfortunately the Jills luck did not continue that momentum as Ketterer was involved in a collision that sidelined both girls for the remainder of the game. The Jills shot only 26 percent from the field and struggled from the line, shooting just 50 percent. Hapgood posted 12 points, Mia Gorman had 6, Conrath 5, Neff 4, and Abby Duwel added 3 points. The SWBL conference has received some attention this year as several teams are ranked among the state’s top 10 teams. “The SWBL is an extremely solid conference from the top to the bottom,” Oakwood’s Coach Finn commented on the strength of the conference this year. “All 14 teams are capable of beating one another on any given day. The conference is full of competitive teams that look to score offensively. There is a lot of tradition in the conference with several teams - Bellbrook and Waynesville - that have had successful programs for a long time. I feel confident that our program will continue to increase our numbers and put a solid product on the floor. We have competed at a high level this season and I believe that will continue

With no seniors and only two juniors on the Jills’ roster this season, Oakwood Coach Jeremy Finn is looking to build on the young squad’s strengths in coming years.

into the future.” Finn also highlighted the strength of his young squad. “We are an excellent offensive team,” he added. “Our goal for the season was to average 50 points a game and we are at 48, with a few games left to go. I am very pleased with our pace and the adjustments we have made throughout the season. We are also one of the top 3-point shooting teams and freethrow shooting teams in the SWBL, which were also goals that we had set at the beginning of the season. So, our offense is the strength of this team and all of our kids have bought in to that style of play. I

would also add that we are a very young team with no seniors and only 2 juniors on the roster. As we continue to increase our numbers, our program will continue to grow and represent our Oakwood basketball program. We have a great system in place from the Junior Jills program for third through sixth grade onto the varsity team. I am very proud of where we are as a team and feel great about where we are headed.” “The D-II Lebanon sectional is loaded with talented teams from the SWBL, GCL, and also the Dayton City League,” Finn said, looking to the upcoming sectional tournament.

“Valley View and Bellbrook will most likely be the top two seeds, but I believe any of the other 12 teams are capable of coming out of that sectional successfully. It should be an entertaining two weeks of high school basketball. We still have 5 games left before tournament, so I feel very comfortable with where we are and where we are trying to go.” The Jills played their last home game on Tuesday, Jan. 30, against Greenon. The Jills will wrap up their regular season traveling to Northridge on Feb. 1, Monroe Feb. 3, Middletown Madison on Feb. 5, and Stivers on Feb. 8.

Acura of Dayton Vintage baseball team recruits players for ’18 season Can you run, catch, hit, and throw a baseball? Do you enjoy baseball and American history? The vintage Clodbuster Base Ball Club is recruiting adult volunteers as players (“ballists”) and interpreters for the 2018 season, and inviting anyone interested to attend one of two Open House events planned for 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 4, and Sunday, March 4, at Carillon Park, located off Patterson Boulevard, just south of Stewart Street.

Marilyn Tolnitch

born Marilyn Floridis in 1931, passed with courage and grace from this earth on January 20, 2018. She bravely fought pancreatic cancer with a strength of spirit that will not be forgotten. She will be greatly missed by her surviving children, Lisa Tolnitch, Amy Tolnitch, George Tolnitch, her granddaughter, Styrling Rohr, along with many family and friends. Predeceasing her is her husband of 49 years, Harold Tolnitch, with whom she is now reunited. Marilyn graduated from Oakwood High School, and attended both Depauw University and University of

and give anyone interested a chance to throw and hit using vintage-style base ball bats and balls, depending on the weather. Complimentary period refreshments also will be served. The Clodbusters start their season on March 18 with tryouts followed by practices, with the first match scheduled for April 23. The Clodbuster Base Ball Club was formed nearly 30 years ago to demonstrate the early years of the great American game of base ball (yes, two words until the 1880s). The team plays the game according

to the rules of 1860 and dress in “uniforms” appropriate to a farm community club in Ohio in the early 1860s. Matches are scheduled with other “vintage” clubs from around the area during the summer months, and the team often participates in festivals and tournaments. Players range in age from their early 20s to their late 50s, with some scorers, umpires, and historical interpreters still active into their 70s. Join the team on Feb. 4 or March 4 to learn more, or visit www.facebook.com/clodbusterbbc or email [email protected].

Michigan, specializing in voice. A talented soprano, she appeared in many shows and musical presentations. Until recent events interceded, she continued voice lessons. While in college, she also became involved in journalism, and eventually had her own column in the Dayton Daily News, entitled “Over The Teacups”. She gave up that career to focus on her children, a fact for which they are immensely grateful. Marilyn loved Dayton, and was a loyal patron of the Dayton Philharmonic, the Dayton Art Institute, and the Dayton Women’s Club,

among others. Due to her Greek father, one of her favorite things was to attend the annual Greek festival. Services to celebrate Marilyn’s life were held at Tobias Funeral Home, 5471 Far Hills Ave., on Friday, January 26, with funeral services at St. George’s Episcopal Church on Saturday, January 27. Following the burial a reception was held at the Dayton Women’s Club. Memorial Contributions in Marilyn’s name may be directed to St. George Episcopal Church, 5520 Far Hills Ave. Online condolences may be sent to www.tobiasfuneralhome.com.
