Pride Month ends with flag thefts reported in Oakwood
LGBT Pride Month came to an unfortunate close with reports of several rainbow flags stolen from Oakwood residences last weekend. Peach Orchard Avenue resident Chris Smith said he had a rainbow flag stolen from his residence on the night of Saturday, June 29, and said other flags were removed from homes on Monteray and Aberdeen Avenues between June 27 and 30. Smith, who said he has flown a rainbow flag at his home since November 2016, characterized the thefts as a hate crime. “Only rainbow flags were singled out and this cannot easily be dismissed as mischief,” Smith said. “We are not dismissing this as teenage pranks. We live in a different time and this is very concerning. We like to joke and kid

ourselves that we live Under the Dome. After this weekend, it is evident that there is a crack in the dome.” The Oakwood police department said it had received reports of two flag thefts. “We have two theft complaints of gay pride flags from two different locations in our city,” said Captain Mike Jones of the Oakwood Public Safety Department. Jones said the incidents are being treated as thefts, rather than hate crimes, at present. “We are investigating them as a theft at this point unless we find out details that would indicate otherwise,” he said. “This stands to become a bigger issue as this type of crime will not be tolerated,” Smith concluded.
Volunteers still needed to set up flags along Shafor Boulevard

First-ever Pet Parade strolls Oakwood Farmers’ Market
The Oakwood Farmers’ Market hosted its first Pet Parade on Saturday, June 29. The event was sponsored by Bigger Road Veterinary Clinic and brought out more than 15 dogs who paraded through the market lot, each dog trying to best the competitors for one of the three prizes. Celebrity judges Oakwood Mayor Bill Duncan, Georgiana Nye, and Dr. Nichole Olp from Bigger Road Veterinary Clinic judged the participants and awarded the prizes. Best Dressed went to a pug named Tucker who sported a fast food-themed costume. Best personality went to the boxer, Bastion, who seemed irresistibly lovable. And, Liberty-Grant and her owner, who both donned watermelon print accessories, won in the owner-pet lookalike category. Fans braved the weekend heat to watch the canines circle the lot in their Saturday best.

Escaping the Summer heat at Achensee
By Kathryn Marshall Locals and tourists alike ushered in the Solstice, the first weekend of summer and the feast of Corpus Christi by sitting along the banks of the River Inn, watching bright orbs of managed bonfires come to life on the face and peak of Rumer Spitze (8,051 feet) as the sun set over Innsbruck, Austria. Similar bonfires were organized on other mountains throughout the region of Tyrol, a term used to describe a federal state in western Austria. The tradition of the fires is one example - the tip of the mountain, per say - in describing the relationship between Tyroleans and the surrounding landscape. Another example, though perhaps less ‘official’, is the refuge the mountains provide during the summer months - something I experienced when escaping the European heat wave by heading to the largest lake in Tyrol. Achensee is only an hour public transit ride from Innsbruck, making it a popular destination for Innsbruck locals and German tourists looking for a refreshing lake with spectacular scenery without commuting to larger lakes such as Lake Constance or Lake Garda. Nestled between the Rofan Mountains and the Karwendel Mountains, the lake and surrounding landscape has been a recreation hub for summer and winter travelers since the late 19th century. My Achensee adventure began with a hike on one of 310 miles of trails in the area. The gradual hike upwards meant witnessing the hue of the lake below gradually transi-
tion through the full spectrum of the color ‘blue’, only occasionally broken by a white sailboat sail set against a triangulated mountain backdrop. After admiring a rainbow caught in the mist of a waterfall and walking through a pasture echoing with the metallic ding of cow bells, we joined hikers at Dafalzer Hütte in enjoying lunch and sipping radler - a beverage combining chilled beer with sweet lemonade - while watching paragliders soar over the lake. I thought the lake was impressive during the hike, but it was not until a coastline drive to scout out a swimming spot and escape temperatures reaching the mid-90s that I experienced the true breadth of Achensee. Each bend in the road revealed a new expanse of shimmering water that reaches depths of 436 feet. Visitors to the lake can stay in an assortment of hotels and resorts in one of five villages along the lake. There are also several campgrounds, such as the quiet campground of Schwarzenau, that provide lake access for campers and day visitors. After laying a towel down a few feet from a chalkboard sign advertising evening yoga classes and paddle board rentals, I untied hiking boots, sliced open a watermelon and headed for the water. Floating where visibility can reach depths of 32 feet, I watched kite surfers, catamarans, sailboats and fishing boats weave over the water like water striders. See Escaping on page 6 u

Old Case Files returns to Dayton’s Old Court House as ‘jurists’ reconvene 1927 murder trial Since the Old Court House was dedicated on April 12, 1850, numerous structures have disappeared from the Dayton skyline, but the legendary limestone building has stood firm. Hailed as one of the nation’s finest examples of Greek Revival architecture, eight U.S. Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, have campaigned at the Old Court House. Many residents have long wondered what’s inside the Old Court House - the iconic Dayton landmark in the heart of downtown. Dayton History’s Old Case Files provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the grandeur of this 169-yearold building while witnessing a riveting early 20th-century trial reenactment of the case of Ohio v. Roy Freeman.
New this year, spectators can register to be part of the jury upon arriving at the Old Court House. As always, Old Case Files concludes with a brief discussion of the real trial results. Gunshots echoed through the autumn air on September 18, 1927, as Dayton Police Officer William C. Horn lay dying. A 37-year-old father of five, Horn was called to the corner of Warren and Hollencamp Streets that day at approximately 2:30 a.m. Hollencamp Street no longer exists - today, the Packard Museum stands near Main and Patterson across the street from this same location. But on that fateful September evening, the automobile of 38-yearold Roy Freeman stood stalled. Officer Horn arrived at the scene

on his motorcycle to find Freeman’s car broken down, a gun in the back seat. When Horn approached Freeman, an African-American living in a time of heated race relations, a scuffle ensued. Ten hours later, police shot Freeman in the left leg as he fled across a field near the Dayton State Hospital. Freeman lived to be tried twice. Was Officer William C. Horn murdered by Roy Freeman? Was it self-defense? You decide! Old Case Files at the Old Court House takes place July 26, 27, 28, August 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11. Limited seating is available.

of mountain air and a plunge in a Tyrolean mountain lake.

A one-time Oregon District boarding house reborn One of these things is not like the other...at least that’s how Janet Neu views the homes in her neighborhood on Tecumseh Street in Dayton’s historic Oregon District. In fact two of the houses, including Neu’s two-story late Victorianera home, are not like the others, standing as architectural anomalies in the tides of time on a street steeped in local history. Most of the residences in Neu’s neighborhood are brick structures dating to the mid-nineteenth century. Her home, however, was built in 1902, while the house next door dates only to the 1970s.
“Tecumseh Street is considered the oldest residential street in the city of Dayton,” says Neu, who is something of a neighborhood historian in the Oregon District. “It was platted in 1839 because the canal was going through where Patterson Boulevard is today. If you walk down the street you notice the majority of houses are brick and they were built in the 1840s to 1860s. So my house really looks out of place.” When she and her husband, Denny Neu, a Dayton firefighter who purchased the home as a fixer-upper on the cusp of the Oregon

District’s revitalization, researched the architectural discrepancy, they found that the two “newer” houses sit on two, now separate lots once occupied by a large, two-story brick residence from the same time period as the rest of the homes in the neighborhood. The first home to be built on the site was raised in the 1840s by George Raymond, a local blacksmith and wagon builder. By 1890, a now-elderly Raymond relocated to Indianapolis to be closer to his children, but he had difficulty selling the home. “He was apparently in a hurry to sell. He tried to sell it at auction in 1891, but it didn’t sell,” Neu explains. Raymond died just two years later, in 1893, and his

son Charles eventually sold the property to George Johnston, who was in the bakery supply business in Dayton, in 1901. “But for some reason Johnston razed this beautiful house, and I don’t know why,” Neu explains. Johnston split the property into two residential lots, building his own home on one and selling the other lot to John Preston Kuhns, treasurer of the National Tag Company, who resided in the district until 1912. Kuhns built a frame house on his lot in 1903. For his part, Johnston, who was born in Pennsylvania but came to Dayton at a young age, also built a frame home, now Neu’s residence, in 1902. Johnston married Elizabeth Burkhardt, retired from business in See Reborn on page 9 u

u Reborn from page 8 1921 and moved out of the Oregon District in 1925 to a home on Far Hills Avenue. He passed away in 1944. An even newer home was eventually built next door, on the site of the former Kuhns’ residence, after it was demolished by the city sometime around 1972. “That’s why these two houses don’t match any of the other homes in the neighborhood. Ours looks a little out of place because just about everything else on the street is 50 or 60 years older.” The Oregon District, of course, is one of the Dayton’s comeback success stories. A decade after the Neu home was built, the 1913 Flood devastated downtown Dayton and poured over the Oregon District, prompting many of the affluent homeowners to pull up stakes and head to higher ground. While that may have been a boon to newborn suburbs like Oakwood, it was the beginning of decades of urban blight and deterioration in the district. Those are days that Janet Neu, still a teenager in the 1970s, well remembers. “People used to call it Filth and Wine, instead of Fifth and Wayne. It was actually considered the seediest, worst neighborhood in the city at one point,” she recalls. By the time of World War II,
many run-down houses in the Oregon District had fallen into disrepair and were crammed wallto-wall as cheap boarding houses. “I’ve got all of these holes on my walls,” Neu laughs. “People see them and comment on the worm holes, but the house had so many tenants living here that they hung up curtains to divide the space in the rooms. That’s where the holes came from.” In the decades since taking up residence in Oregon District, a stream of occasional visitors have knocked on the door asking to see the house and regaling the Neus with stories of one-time boarders in the home. “That’s happened probably ten times since I’ve lived here,” she says. “I had one guy come by and he started naming the people who lived in my front parlor. He said seven or eight people, maybe more, lived in that one small room.” At one time, by other accounts, some thirteen families resided in a brick building at the back of the property. “I had no idea,” she says of her home’s once crowded history. The revitalization of the Oregon District began with an influx of young homebuyers in the 1970s. Being a city firefighter and working the department’s 24-on, 48-off shifts, a still-single Denny Neu had both the time and carpentry experience needed to tackle a hands-on renovation when he purchased the

home for $9,000 in 1974. “So he was one of the early ‘pioneers’ in revitalizing the area. He was young and took a chance that the neighborhood was going to come back,” Janet reminisces. “It was a labor of love.” Her own involvement with the property, now one of the district’s gems, came more than a decade
later. “We started dating in 1982 and I got to know all of the neighbors, but I didn’t really start working on the house until we were married in 1987. And I’ve been here ever since.” She fondly recalls the atmosphere and camaraderie a shared sense of purpose inspired. “By the See Reborn on page 10 u

Everybody just bonded because we all had this commonality of working on these great old houses.” By that time, the Oregon District was clearly on the rebound. “There were a lot of finished houses by then because some people paid to have everything done rather than doing it themselves, which obviously takes longer,” she says, looking back on the neighborhood’s resurgence.

With the deed in hand, he quickly filled the “back building,” as the couple called it, with bits and pieces of architectural ephemera that might one day find a use in his own home. “He would salvage all this stuff for use in the house and that’s where we stored it,” Janet recalls. “He’d hear about houses being torn down and he’d go and get mantles and doorframes, anything he could find.” Today, decorative door cornices

waiter, lends to a sense of grandeur in the room. Rather than connecting to the kitchen or a butler’s pantry, the pass-through actually opens to a stairwell leading to the basement, leaving the diminutive doorway without any real purpose other than a decorative air. “I honestly think it was just for show, because, really, it connects to the basement steps,” Neu notes. A more practical doorway actually connects the dining room to the adjacent kitchen, which was long overdue for an update by the time Janet moved in. “The kitchen was entirely antiquated. I cooked on a circa 1925 stove, had a freestanding sink, little apartment-sized refrigerator and a Hoosier cupboard,” she says with a distinct lack of nostalgia. “We wanted a modern, functioning kitchen, so we brought the whole back of the house out six feet, added space and redid the kitchen. We also converted a firstfloor bathroom into a bedroom and installed a modern bath in the new space. The woodwork in here came out of other houses in the neighborhood. We would go upstairs in the back building, line all of this up against the back fence and Denny would say okay, we can use that one and that one. One summer I just worked like a dog stripping all of this and I no sooner
had it stripped when it was being nailed up.” The transom over the first-floor guest bedroom is decorated with one of two commissioned stained glass pieces created specifically for the home. The second story is home to three bedrooms, one of which has been converted into a home office, as well as a refinished bathroom adorned with a metal roof. “I used to lay in the tub and look at the ceiling and there was nothing there. So I decided I wanted to put a tin ceiling up. On the day the installer was due to arrive, Janet was rushing to get to work when Denny told her he wanted his name inscribed on the ceiling, underneath the metal roof. “I climbed up there and scribbled a paragraph saying my husband thinks his name should be up here, but he didn’t have anything to do with it, that this is the creation of Janet Neu, and now he’s gonna make me late for work, so here it is anyway...Denny Neu,” she recalls with a laugh, noting that this comedic release is still tucked away under the metal tiles preserved and waiting to be found in the next round of renovations. Though the front yard is limited, to say the least, the rear of the home is a veritable garden oasis, See Reborn on page 12 u

u Reborn from page 10 allowed public access to a wake while the rest of the home could be cordoned off with sliding wooden pocket doors – the interior of the residence is a charming blend of both antique and modern, the eclectic with the whimsical. The second “front door” on the first floor opens into what Neu calls the “middle room,” featuring an original wood mantle and colorful period tiles accenting the fireplace. “This was more like a big foyer. The smaller room would have been the fancy parlor,” Neu explains. A wood mantle decorating a non-functioning fireplace in the smaller front parlor was salvaged from other renovations in the area. The first-floor middle room boasts the only surviving piece of stained glass original to the home. Wood pocket doors also separate the middle room from the dining room, which prominently features the one-time cigar store cabinet. The faux painted dining room walls, done by Oakwood artist Amy Ringler-Korab, feature a crushed marble finish. The dining room features another, more unusual faux feature in the form of a pass-through. A small wooden door on a dining room wall, resembling a dumb

The space was featured on this summer’s Oregon District Garden Tour, and the home has been a regular stop on the seasonal Christmas Tour hosted in the district. While Janet is well versed in the
3, 2019 history of the district, she doesn’t feel constrained by the time frame of the home. She readily mixes hundred-year-old antiques with modern amenities, and throwbacks to yesteryear complement modern creature comforts. An Edison wire phonograph sits ready to entertain in the dining room while a handcrank telephone, the epitome of technology when the home was built, still hangs on a wall adjacent to the fully modern kitchen.

“I love antiques, but the upholstered furniture is traditional. I buy what I like and if it matches, it matches,” Neu says of her decorating style. “There are so many doors and windows and mantles that I can’t rearrange the furniture too much, so I decided to change up my art work. I really like whimsical art.” After more than 30 years in the neighborhood, Janet Neu says she is witnessing a changing of the guard as many of the original
homeowners behind the district’s revitalization are moving on to retirement communities or relocating to be closer to family. “Now we’re getting a lot of younger people moving in. I’ve lost a whole generation of people. I was 24 when I started hanging out down here and I’m 62 now. So we’re just passing the torch in a sense,” Neu reflects on the evolution of the Oregon District. “I’m kind of the archivist for the neighborhood, so I make a point of telling the
history, as much as I can, to these young people. They don’t know what went into making this neighborhood what it is today.” One thing that is not lost on the newcomers, though, is that same sense of community that first appealed to her all those years ago. “I don’t need this much house and yard, but I can’t leave the neighborhood. This is my lifeline. It’s such a social atmosphere. It’s just a wonderful community.”

Music Hall plays host to Cincinnati Opera’s production of Romeo and Juliet
A review should slip into a conclusion gently or even slyly. For a review of Cincinnati Opera’s Romeo and Juliet, nothing is applicable except praise. Shakespeare’s tragedy of starcrossed lovers is in the standard repertory of every art form. We have seen many versions of the Shakespeare play, many operas Gounod, Bellini, Prokofiev, Berlioz and Bernstein - to name a few. Ballets abound and orchestral music depicts the lovers. I can say with emphasis that we have never had such an experience as last night in Cincinnati’s Music Hall. I can defend this bold statement by recounting the details of the performance. Many outstanding moments became an enveloping experience. We were greeted by an empty stage with a projection of a fully-blown red rose. This became the theme of the opera,. Roses proliferated, changed colors, moved with enigmatic patterns. All the while, the artists of the
Cincinnati Symphony under the baton of Ramón Tebar sang the opera from the orchestra pit. Stage Director Matthew Ozawa’s creative stage movements also sang the opera. This began with a beautiful couple, in modern dress, crossing the stage without any acknowledgement of each other. A crowd of others, in magnificent Medieval dress, entered, each side crossing without any recognition of the other. Surrounded by cast members, the Juliet of Nicole Cabell and Romeo of Matthew White emerged in the proper century. Nicole is well known to Cincinnati Opera having starred triumphantly as Mimi, Rosalinda, Donna Elvira and The Countess. Matthew is in his debut, a very special debut, as he joined the cast only a month earlier. All that needs to be said is “a star is born!” Nicole joins many beautiful women as Juliet. Matthew is a tenor who looks like a Romeo. Handsome, with the lilt of youth, he had hearts throbbing in the audience. The customary chorus setting the tale of the feuding families and the tragic portion of each of the lovers, was omitted. The opening scene told it all very well. We then
meet Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, sung with perfect machismo bravado by Piotr Buszewski. He is the “heavy” from the other side. The ribald rivalry was interrupted by Hadleigh Adams as Mercutio, Romeo’s friend. The Queen Mab aria is an operatic delight delivered in perfect voice and action as Romeo and friends daringly invade the Capulets’ party. Dancers add to the festivities as Romeo’s magic moment approaches. At the ball, he sees Juliet. Shakespeare’s words sing without music. “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! For I ne’er saw true beauty til this night,” are lines from that moment in the Bard’s music. The loving glance on the opera stage was of equal effect. The character of Juliet’s nurse was remarkably delivered by Catherine Keen. Friar Laurent is the pivotal plot character. He is desperately trying to make peace between the warring families and sees the young lovers as the key. Veteran Cincinnati and Dayton Opera’s bass-baritone Kenneth Shaw created the priest with great depth and vitality. The wedding scene assumed focal importance. The voices and the orchestra combined to make it unforgettable.
It was the confrontation of Mercutio and Tybalt and the newly-wedded Romeo that became the agonizing crux of the drama. The action, beginning with Reilly Nelson in the pants role of Stephano, fended off a Montague easily twice her size. The comic absurdity melded readily into a blood fight between Mercutio and Tybalt. Romeo’s peace-making efforts dissolved with the fatal stabbings of Tybalt and Mercutio. Fate pronounced the doom of all. The chorus, delivering majestic phrases, mesmerized the audience. There was almost a standing ovation for the choristers as the applause thundered, filling the hall. Romeo, accepting his doom, is driven to see his bride. He enters her chamber, the bridal bed. It was transformed when a white drapery fell from the ceiling. The set became a character as well. The most dramatic and inspiring scenes in opera followed one after another. The lovers join, then must separate. Count Capulet brings Juliet’s selected groom, Paris, and insists on an immediate wedding. Friar Laurent secretly proposes a dangerous solution. His potion making Juliet appear dead for a day and then reunite with Romeo
requires her to have courage and trust, as well as love. With true opera magic, the scenes, the characters, the music, made the desperate gambit plausible. Juliet’s pseudo-burial cannot be equaled, it was so dramatically engaging. Dancers proceeded the mourners into the tomb. They lay down on pallets populating the world of the dead. Romeo arrives with no Friar Laurent to tell him of the effects of his potion. Romeo rhapsodizes on the beauty of Juliet in her mausoleum. She is wearing the same red modern dress as in the first scene of the opera. Juliet lives in the 14th century and as the symbol of tragic love, forever. The distraught Romeo takes poison to allow him to join his beloved in death. Juliet wakens and the lovers clasp each other in love and joy. The poison, forgotten for a moment, completes the tragedy. This remarkable opera, a milestone in operatic excellence, ends with the audience pouring out their love to the cast. Remarkable, unforgettable, needing only Shakespeare’s immortal words/music to make an end. For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
Young Oakwood actress plays ‘Lulu’ in national tour of Waitress at Victoria Theatre
Vivian King, 4, of Oakwood took the stage at the Victoria Theatre last week for the Dayton engagement of the Tonynominated musical Waitress. King alternated the role of “Lulu” - the daughter of the production’s main character, Jenna – with three-and-ahalf year old Teagen Krekus of Lebanon as Waitress played the Victoria June 25-30 as part of
the Victoria Theatre Association’s Broadway Series. Both girls were chosen through an audition process held at the PNC Arts Annex in May. More than 30 girls participated in the auditions, which were presided over by members of the Waitress company. The character of “Lulu” is cast locally in each tour market and two girls are chosen to share the
role. Each girl performed in four performances during the eightshow engagement. King, who loves singing, dancing, creating, gymnastics, horseback and martial arts, said she was wildly excited for her theatrical debut. Inspired by Adrienne Shelley’s beloved film, the musical tells the story of Jenna – a waitress
and expert pie maker, who Jenna dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. Her salvation comes in the form of her daughter, “Lulu.” A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.

By Billy Behman Currently playing at the Neon is The Biggest Little Farm, a documentary about a married couple, Chester and Molly, who leave Los Angeles to start a farm. The documentary bridges the gap between childhood fantasies and adult realism. It presents all the difficulties of having a farm and at the same time shows how, in the midst of these difficulties, the couple’s fairy-tale vision is still captured. The documentary starts off with ominous scenes of Chester and Molly dealing with the California wildfires. Over the course of the film there are vivid shots of animals dying and Chester and Molly struggling to grow the farm. The audience is constantly discouraged by the realities that Chester and Molly must face. Interwoven with these difficulties are scenes that reveal a utopia in which a beautiful farm thrives and all sorts of animals live together happily.
As well as telling a moving story, the documentary is visually stunning. The up-close shots of all the small bugs and creatures that exist on the farm are just as beautiful as the panoramic shots of the
whole farm, which looks like The Shire from Lord of the Rings. Chester and Molly consult a farming expert, Alan York, who shows up in sandals and linen preaching diversity among animals, plants and soil. With his help, they learn the countless ways in which they can assist and be a part of their farm. This was the part of the documentary I enjoyed the most as it was fascinatingly educational. Together with Chester and Molly the audience learns of all the unexpected ways we can help nature. You don’t have to be a passionate environmentalist or an animal lover to find this documentary interesting. I am neither, and found The Biggest Little Farm to be an excellent learning experience, as well as moving story about the harsh and beautiful realities of Chester and Molly’s farm. Billy Behman is writing movie reviews this summer as an intern for The Oakwood Register.

Weekly Astrological Forecast
By Magi Helena
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Postpone what you can; it would be wise to put some things on hold until next week when you can give them your complete attention. You are savvy about finances but remember that a salesperson may have their own agenda. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do the needed self-care to get through the week. It may be difficult to negotiate a better deal or to make money as an entrepreneur right now. Look forward to Independence Day when you can relax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can sweet talk your way through every change in plans. However, in the early part of the week you might not hear many sweet words from loved ones who could be too wrapped up in business to be very attentive. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your best ideas take flight when you are flying under the radar. Avoid making major purchases or decisions about investments in the week ahead. Some wishful thinking could be inspiring but make decisions based on facts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Crush it like a boss. If you must make a presentation or speak in public people will hang on to your every word. It may be wise to wait until after the Fourth of July holiday to put your creative ideas into action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the wind is at your back it is easier to move forward. You may meet little resistance to your ideas in the week ahead, but it may be wise not to rush into implementation. Give people time to absorb data.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It is all a matter of perspective. Be empathetic enough to see things from the other side and act accordingly. Whenever you are in the work environment this week it will be necessary to give people credit for their assistance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Making more money from your current job may be difficult at this time, and there may be little wiggle room for negotiations. You may choose to work harder than usual in the week ahead so that you are able to take time off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your business instincts are in fine form, but you may hesitate to push your own agenda this week. Your sympathies may be stirred to the point that you fear offending anyone with crass discussions of money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Often in life when you reach a peak another mountain appears. You may feel like it’s difficult to stay abreast of continuing education courses or required qualifications. Remain optimistic in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money mix-ups could provide some comic relief in the week to come but remain on your toes so that muddles and foul-ups don’t cause losses. Keep your cash in your pocket and count your change at the checkout. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Being creative or spending time developing concepts may be right up your alley. Unfortunately, the world demands that you focus on concrete contributions. Don’t be vague about details in the upcoming week. Tribune Content Agency

Oakwood’s Jandel returns to Buckeye State to compete at 2019 Prasco Charity Championship
Oakwood High alum Emma Jandel was among five professional golfers returning to the Buckeye State to play at last week’s Prasco Charity Championship at the TPC River’s Bend golf club. The championship, the 13th stop on the 2019 Symetra Tour’s Road to the LPGA, was played June 28-30 in Maineville, Ohio. Joining Jandel on the tee at River’s Bend were four other golfers with collegiate ties to Ohio - Jennifer Ha, a Calgary, Canada, native who graduated from Kent State University, and Ohio State University alums. Katja Pogacar from Ljubljana, Slovenia, Rachel Rohanna from Marianna, Penn., and 2019 Big Ten Conference Championship individual title winner Nikolette Schroeder from Avon Lake, Ohio. Jandel, who played the inaugural Symetra Tour Prasco Charity Championship event at Maineville in 2018, teed up as a tournament sponsor exemption for the event. Greeting the 144-player field was a total purse of $125,000. Golfers competed in a 54-hole stroke play format with a cut to the low 60 players and ties after 36 holes. Oakwood’s Jandel was a 2005 Ohio High School champion, and claimed Ohio Amateur Champion titles in 2006 and 2007, as well as the Ohio High School
Championship in 2005 and was twice named to the All-Big 10 Second Team in 2008 and 2010 while playing at Ohio State University, where she teed up for the NCAA championship in 2009. Defending champion Muni He of Chengdu, China, was not among this year’s competitors, as she qualified for the 2019 LPGA Tour season. “I am really excited to be playing in the Buckeye state,” said Rohanna, a two-time All-Big Ten First Team performer for the Buckeyes in 2010 and 2012. “Between the LPGA and Symetra Tour, there was only ever the Marathon Classic that was in Ohio. Having added another event last year and get the chance to play in front of some loyal Ohio State fans is pretty awesome.” The Symetra Tour is the official qualifying tour of the LPGA Tour and enters its 39th competitive season in 2019. With the support of its entitlement partner Symetra, the Tour’s mission is to prepare the world’s best young women professional golfers for a successful career on the LPGA Tour. Since Symetra’s inaugural sponsorship year in 2012, the Symetra Tour has grown from 16 tournaments and $1.7 million in prize money to $4.0 million in prize money awarded over the course of 24 events. With more than 600 alumnae moving on
to the LPGA, former Symetra Tour players have won a total of 437 LPGA titles. The 5-foot, 9-inch Jandel has been playing golf since she was 8 years old, making her professional debut in 2009. She has career winnings of $65,282. In 2018 she played 18 events, making three cuts. She was cut from this year’s Prasco tournament after shooting two 5-overpar, 77 rounds on the first two days of play. She also competed at the Valley Forge Invitational on May 31. A total of 34 countries were represented at last week’s Prasco Charity Championship, led by the United States with 77 players, followed by Canada and the Republic of Korea, having seven competitors apiece. The Symetra Tour annually awards LPGA Tour membership to the top players on the Volvik Race at the end of the season and will usher in the next graduating class after 24 events on the 2019 calendar. From 1999-2002, the official qualifying tour of the LPGA handed out three LPGA cards. Then from 2003-2007, that number increased to five before 10 were distributed starting in 2008. Since the inaugural year, a total of 147 Symetra Tour players have graduated to the LPGA.
