Film screening, conversation explores American identity at Wright Library event March 30
What does it mean to be American today? That’s a question at the heart of American Creed, a documentary showing from 1-3:30 p.m. Saturday, March 30, at Wright Memorial Public Library in Oakwood. The screening will be followed by a Community Conversation facilitated by Miami University history professor Steven Conn. Wright Library is one of 50 sites receiving grant funding from the American Library Association to host an American Creed screening and community discussion. In April, the library will offer training to those interested in hosting their own community discussions around the film’s topics. ThinkTV will air the documentary in June. “This is a chance for people in our community who may have different political views to come together to explore what we have in common as Americans,” said Librarian Elizabeth Schmidt, who is organizing the screening and trainings. In the documentary film, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Kennedy come together from different points of view to investigate the idea of a unifying American creed. Their spirited inquiry frames the stories of citizen-activists striving to realize their own visions of America’s promise across deepening divides. For example: baseball manager Joe Maddon brings residents of his
Pennsylvania hometown together after a controversial immigration ordinance threatens to tear them apart. In Seattle, civic entrepreneur Eric Liu brings community leaders together in spite of their political differences to solve problems. Mark Meckler, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots and Joan Blades, founder of MoveOn. org, meet and form an unexpected bond. American Creed Community Conversations are film screenings and scholar-facilitated discussions designed to engage Americans in reflection and dialogue about their own part in the American story, and in acting to shape that story for the better. Following the screening and discussion, Wright Library will train individuals to host their own community conversations with friends and neighbors. The library will also host some of those conversations. In June, the library will host a Sworn-Again America ceremony where citizens can reaffirm their own civic vows. Visit wrightlibrary.org/americancreed for more information. The event is open to the public; advance registration is requested at www.wrightlibrary.org/americancreed. Conversation host training will be offered from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 13, and April 27; 7-8 p.m. Thursday, April 18, and April 25.

OSF seeking nominations for Parker Love of Teaching and Lifelong Learning Award
Nominations are now being accepted for The Oakwood Schools Foundation’s ninth annual Parker Love of Teaching and Lifelong Learning Award. The award, presented each spring, honors a current Oakwood teacher who uniquely inspires the full potential of each student with whom he or she works. In 2010, The Parker Love of Teaching and Lifelong Learning Award was created by former longtime Oakwood teacher Beverly (Bev) Parker in memory of her
late husband, Robert (Bob) Parker. Based on the belief that teachers in Oakwood are exceptional and give much of themselves for the betterment of the children in our community, the Parker Award honors teachers who go above and beyond what is expected of them. The award consists of a $1,200 prize, which is divided between the recipient and an academic department, grade or program of the recipient’s choosing. Eligible teachers will have taught in the Oakwood School District for
at least five years. Nominations or letters of support may be submitted by parents, students, alumni, community members, faculty or administrators. Nominations do not carry over from previous years. Submission deadline is March 31. To download the 2019 nomination form, visit www.oakwoodschools. org/community/osf. For more information, contact Dante Connell, OSF Director, by email at
[email protected] or by phone at 297-5332.
We support the Oakwood School System
As the father of five children, I don’t win many arguments in my household. When I do win any, they are the big ones. There was a time in my life when my firstborn was faced with the prospect of attending kindergarten. At that time, we were living happily in Belmont. We felt we needed to make a change with the school system. Our options were parochial, Oakwood, or another school system like Bellbrook, Kettering, or Centerville. In those areas, we
knew we would live in a community providing a large four-bedroom house with a big yard, which was enticing to my wife. I wanted to live in the Oakwood community where we have an excellent school system, but we would be living in an old uninsulated NCR house with a postage stamp yard for the same amount of money. I won. We have never looked back on our decision. There was a point in our life
where we had a child in Lange, Smith, Oakwood Junior High and Senior High all at the same time! Now that two of our daughters are attending college, we enjoy hearing how well they were prepared for their first year of undergrad. We have and always will continue to support one of most valuable assets of this community, the Oakwood school system.
Ross wins regional DAR essay contest, scholarship Charlie Ross was awarded the Good Citizen Award and Scholarship from the Daniel Cooper Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on Saturday, March 16. His essay, “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility To Preserve It” won first place in the region and is now being considered at state level competition.
Ross is the founder of Teens Inventing Peaceful Solutions group at Oakwood High School. The group encourages student political engagement with a focus on peaceful exchange of thoughts and ideas about current events and political issues. He is a senior at Oakwood High School and will attend the University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 2019.

Skateboarding prof should’ve known better
If there’s not a sign saying “don’t” then it’s okay to do it, right? That was the excuse of a 30-something alleged University of Dayton professor when confronted March 8 for skate boarding on the new tennis courts at the Oakwood Community Center. He also claimed the bench he slid his
board across was already damaged by a skater before him. After we talked about common sense, ethics, tax funded projects, adulthood, and setting an example for children, he claimed to be sorry, embarrassed, and said he wouldn’t do it again. But the need for signage has been made. I propose something like:
“NO! Whatever you’re thinking about doing that you already know is wrong, do not do it.” People generally know what’s right and wrong, they just don’t listen to their inner voice. Maya Angelou said it best: “When you know better, do better.” It’s really that simple. Vickie Hamilton-Smith

’Round Town
’Round the End of the World
By Gary Mitchner Did you miss me? I bet that you didn’t know that ’Round Town” can mean “far afield.” Yes, I went to the end of the world, so to speak, on a Holland America Cruise around Cape Horn. First, though, I went looking for Jorge Luis Borges in the labyrinths of Buenos Aires. The highlight was our visit to the monumental Iguazu Falls between Brazil and Argentina. Then we toured Montevideo, Uruguay. “The Loving Spouse” bought a local artist’s print to prove we were there. Then the South Atlantic Ocean hit us, and we missed The Falkland Islands. But smooth sailing through the Straits of Magellan, Glacier Alley, and around the Horn. We stopped to see 500,000 penguins in Punta Tumbo and to ride horses with the gauchos on an estancia. Then the Pacific Ocean blew us away from Punta Montt so the harbormaster would not permit the ships tenders to come out to the Zaandam. But we arrived safely in San Antonio, Chile, where we were met by a private driver and
tour guide who took us to Isla Negra, the great Nobel Laureate poet Pablo Neruda’s last home. The tour included a spectacular
winery and wine tasting at Casa del Bosque where I tried grilled sweetbreads and beef carpaccio. The next day we toured the very modern city of Santiago, which had been devastated by an earthquake back in 1960. The cruise was a program “Festival at Sea” with Friendship Force International, and we were accompanied by fellow members Joan Lambert, Sue Cramer, Jan Vivanco, Jane Rahn, Susan Brenner, Gail Markus from Columbus, and Jane and Ron Randall from Toledo. When we returned, we were saddened to learn that George Washington Houk had died on March 9. George was recently a student in my poetry class and had written me a poem. Our sympathy goes out to Pam, his wife of 63 years. The week home slowed us down a bit though I saw a moving film at the Neon, Never Look Away (Werke Ohne Autour) and attended The Miami Valley Dance Company’s The Jungle Book with Kate Moreira and Amea Bretz. Bring on Spring Break!

To my wonderful Oakwood community, Thank you for all the incredible love and support for this hometown boutique. The shop has been a true blessing in my life and I have enjoyed getting to know all of my customers. I have decided to stay home with my three beautiful children. The shop has grown to a point where I feel my time is being divided away from my fa mily. It is truly a gift to be able to pursue my passions with local non-profit organizations and to first and foremost be the best wife and mother that God created me to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love.
See you around town! Rachel Jessup

Dr. Martin George ‘Marty’ LeBoeuf age 90, died Wednesday, March 13, as a result of complications from a severe stroke suffered in August 2016. Present at the time of his death was his wife Martha, son George and grandson George. Dr. LeBoeuf operated an orthodontic practice in Oakwood for over 30 years. In October 1958, he married the love of his life Martha Janet (Richards) LeBoeuf. Marty and Marty, as they were known, met while he attended Dental School at The Ohio State University. Martin, born in Florida, moved to Dayton in 1942 when his father joined Fairchild Aviation as a field representative to Wright-Patterson A.F.B. Marty graduated from Chaminade High School in 1946, and went on to attend University of Dayton, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1950. He entered active duty in 1950 with a direct commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force Medical Services Corps, and was stationed in Texas in support of the Korean Conflict. His service continued after active duty as a U.S. Air Force Reserve Officer until reaching
the rank of Major in 1960. He then transferred to the US Army Dental Corps and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and began service as an Army dentist. Upon graduation from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, he was promoted to the rank of Colonel, and took command of the USAR Dental Detachment 2288th in Sharonville, Ohio. Completing a successful tour of command, Col. LeBoeuf transferred to the U.S. Army Individual Augmentee status from which he eventually retired as Colonel. As a civilian Marty continued his professional education upon returning to Ohio by entering Dental School. He graduated from O.S.U. Dental School in 1957. After graduation he returned to Dayton, opening a general dentistry practice in the Hulman Building in downtown Dayton. In 1965, Marty returned to O.S.U. Dental School, completing his Masters in Orthodontics in 1968, at which time he joined Dr. Victor Lawrence in an orthodontic practice in Oakwood. Martin retained the Oakwood location until retiring in 1995.
Nicholas James Uphoff departed this life on Tuesday, March 13, at the age of 40, but not before contributing his vital organs, body tissue, skin grafts, and
more to benefit others. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Henry and Lucille (Walsh) Martin of Grand Island,
Along with his Oakwood location, he maintained offices in Fairborn, Bellbrook and Lebanon, Ohio. Besides his dental practice he established MGL Realty and

He had fun living his life, especially on a golf course. Most often he played at the Dayton Country Club. Marty was an accomplished amateur golfer supporting a single digit handicap most of his life. He scored a hole-in-one multiple times, including an ace on the 10th at DCC in 2007, at the ripe young age of 78. Marty was co-honoree of the initial DCC Spring Medal tournament in 2017.

He is survived by his wife Martha, his brother Charles (Sue), son George (children Kate, George,
Robert, Will and Lee), son John (wife Melanie and daughter Meg), son Bill (wife Leigh and children Ole LeBoeuf, Henrik LeBoeuf, step children Penn and Richard Cosler), and son Bob (wife Heather and children Jack, Charlotte and Phillip). He dearly loved the extended families on both sides, including the Whalens, LeBoeufs, Richards, Knechts, and Welles. Marty’s family would like to recognize Sasha, Tuesday and Becky, who provided conscientious and needed care during Marty’s last year at home.

Nearly 75 years after D-Day, two World War II warriors reconnect at Dayton airfield Two aging warriors reconnected last weekend at Wright Brothers Airport as Jim “Pee Wee” Martin, a World War II paratrooper portrayed in the acclaimed 2001 HBO series Band of Brothers, came face-toface with That’s All, Brother, the C-47 jump plane designated to lead the D-Day invasion of occupied France in June 1944. Martin, who earned his nickname because he was the smallest man in his company, could’ve sat out the war – he had a draft deferment – but he elected to join the Parachute Infantry in June 1942. Although the Germans had previously used paratroopers on Crete, parachute infantry was a new, untested concept for the American Army at the outset of the Second World War. “One of our generals thought we should have paratroopers and he went to Roosevelt and talked to the President about it. It was surprising because Roosevelt was Navy, but he okayed it,” Martin recalled. “We were told all through our training that most of us would probably be killed, but nobody quit.” Two years later, Martin and his regiment were dropped behind German lines just after midnight

being cut off and surrounded by the Nazis in harsh winter conditions during the Battle of the Bulge. Martin ended the war by being one of the first Americans to enter the Obersalzberg, or Eagle’s Nest, Adolf Hitler’s mountaintop retreat in Berchtesgaden.

planning to attend the 75th D-Day anniversary in France this summer. Martin was expected to join the restored C-47, along with other vintage World War II aircraft, as part of the anniversary commemoration in France. But he had to cancel the trip due to health concerns and when the Commemorative Air Force, a group dedicated to preserving and
flying World War II aircraft, heard he wouldn’t be making the trip back to France this summer they decided to fly That’s All, Brother from its base in Texas to Dayton to commemorate Martin’s service, as well as his role in preserving a flying piece of American history. “The trip is about 1,000 miles See D-Day on page 8 u

opportunity to honor his contributions in combat and thank him for sharing his story with others.” Delayed more than an hour by weather and winds, the aging warbird touched down Sunday afternoon at Dayton’s Wright Brothers airport in the midst of a March
snowstorm, reducing visibility for the flight crew. But the weather didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those on hand to witness its arrival. “We don’t get anything cool like that in here too often,” said one airport worker. With only a handful of D-Day

paratroopers still surviving, Martin used his connection with history to raise nearly $1 million toward preserving the plane, one of 800 such aircraft that Martin and his fellow paratroopers flew into battle at Normandy. “Over a year’s time I was responsible for raising almost a million dollars. Nobody ever expected that,” said Martin, wearing a khaki fatigue jacket bearing his unit designation – 101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, G Company. “I just had no idea. I’m not one who raises money, but I want people to know the important part that airplane played in the war, not only for jumping but for every kind of cargo, anything that was needed on the battlefield. That was one of the most important airplanes in the war.” Martin says he still feels a deep affinity for the plane, a military version of the early DC-3 airliner. “Oh, absolutely,” he said. “It’s a

It joined the hundreds of other C-47s, scattered across bases around the English countryside, and assembled in formation, a task made more difficult because the crews were flying without navigation lights and under radio silence to avoid enemy detection. Carrying more than 13,000 Allied airborne troops, the mass formation led by That’s All, Brother flew south across the English Channel. As they approached the French coast, the aircraft began to encounter heavy enemy flak.

part of my life.” In 2015 the iconic plane was discovered, abandoned and deteriorating, in a “boneyard” in Wisconsin. With the help of Martin’s fundraising efforts, the CAF spent a year and a half restoring the aircraft to its original World War II configuration, including the distinctive black-and-white striped D-Day markings on the wing intended to help avoid friendly fire by Allied ground troops. Today, the plane is heralded as the most authentic World War II C-47 still flying. Constructed at the Douglas Aircraft facility in Tulsa, Okla., in early 1944, That’s All, Brother was delivered to the 438th Troop Carrier Group in England in preparation for the planned invasion of Europe. That’s All, Brother was assigned to the 87th Troop Carrier Squadron, and it was selected to lead the airborne invasion by Lt. Col. John M. Donalson, commander of the 438th. Donalson, who planned to pilot the lead airplane himself, picked That’s All, Brother because he felt its name would be a clear message to Hitler. Measuring more than 63 feet long with a wingspan in excess of
serve through the remainder of the war in Europe, participating in Operation Dragoon, Operation Market Garden, Operation Varsity, and in the relief of the beleaguered defenders of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Martin fought alongside the plane on two of those campaigns, Operation Market Garden and Battle of the Bulge, and seeing the aircraft restored to its former glory was clearly an emotional experience for the combat veteran. The history and exploits of the 506th PIR are vividly portrayed in the film Band of Brothers, which Martin says is “as realistic as a film can get.” “There’s only a handful of the original guys left,” said his son, Roger Martin, who accompanied his father to the plane. That accounts for the celebritylike reception Martin gets whenever he makes a public appearance. He spent nearly an hour on his feet posing for photographs with wellwishers after his own arrival at the airport. He has returned to Normandy and the battlefields of Europe on numerous occasions, starting with See D-Day on page 9 u

Preview of WSU Arts Gala; DPO String Quartet Gems; Human Race’s Hand of God
It is almost here! One of the best signs of spring is the Wright State Arts Gala. It does not bring great weather, Mother Nature does that. It brings unbounded joy. Twenty years of Galas have exposed the community to the excitement of WSU’s creative arts community. On Gala night, the Creative Arts Center is filled to the brim with students in their finest bib and tucker. They are performing, demonstrating their skills, and smiling with the beauty of youth. Most important is the incredible record of accomplishment of the Gala. In the 20 years, it has raised over $2.7 million for student scholarships. At the Gala, student scholarship recipients wear special badges. They tell stories of how the scholarship aid frees them financially to further perfect their art and enhance their precious college experience. Those of us who are regular WSU supporters know this so well. Attending the myriad of arts activities at WSU brings us fine theater, music, dance. Best, we identify with these beautiful young people and become a special fan club. But, I fail in my praise of the Gala in not highlighting the food! The entire arts center is a rolling and rollicking feast. The Gala committee is full of “foodies.” Nearly every performance space features its own gustatory delights. The challenge is to see, experience and enjoy all the arts on display. This is a special challenge as no one wants to miss a single performance or even a morsel of the delicious treats. A plan is necessary, but in every one of our 20

Gala experiences we miss something. Some attendees are meticulous planners. Dr. Kim Goldenberg, former WSU president, and community leader, Paul Weaver, have devised well-constructed maps and time-lines to cover all events and dining venues. Their works of near-genius are, admitted, failures. There is too much fun, food and art excitement to do it all. I invite you to attend the Gala and give it a good “college try.” See everything, hear everything and try to eat everything! Now, the most serious omission is not attending at all. There are available tickets, especially as the arts center has expanded in its latest remodeling. Call 937-775-2233. Yes, tell them that Burt sent you! hhh The Dayton Philharmonic artists have expanded, for several years, beyond our wonderful symphony hall. Regular programs at the Dayton Art Institute’s Mimi and Stuart Rose Auditorium are featured. These concerts bring the orchestra musicians to a variety of programs that expand their scope. One regular feature is Concertmaster’s Choice. Jessica Hung makes her own special selections and presents them for the enjoyment of the community. This Sunday’s concert at the DAI was by the Philharmonic Principal’s Quartet. They are true artists and when they perform as a quartet it is always an incredible experience. Their names are familiar to you. Violinists Jessica Hung and Kirstin Greenlaw join Sheridan Currie at viola and Christina Coletta’s cello. Before the concert, Jessica gave a lovely remembrance of recently lost principal cellist, Andra Padrichelli. All grieve the loss of this bright and shining talent. The Philharmonic is a loving family and
Andra’s passing, and the caring good-byes, are an inspirations to us all. The concert began with what I learned was one of Andra’s favorite works. Classical composer and cellist Luigi Boccherini devoted himself to string chamber music. He composed more than 100 string quintets with two celli. No wonder Andra liked him. He also composed another one hundred string quartets. The music, pure classical genre, began with a sparkling Allegretto, The second movement, a minuet, was spritely and vivacious even in a minor key. It is the adagio third movement that sings a magnificent aria with much of the voice coming from the cello. The finale, Allegro assai, has strident chords admixed with exciting beauty. Hearing the final notes, I was struck with the question – when can we hear this magnificent music again? I am casting my official ballot for a repeat. The next work, String Quartet No. 8 in C minor by Dmitri Shostakovich, was a musical and emotional roller coaster ride. Every experience with this incredible but very troubled Russian composer is a history lesson and a psychiatric session. Shostakovich was deep-
ly troubled by his failing health. What was later diagnosed as ALS, a fatal crippling of the muscles, was beginning to deepen his personal remorse. Much of the ruefulness was brought on by the intense political pressure of life in Stalinist Russia. So deep was his depression that he considered the piece to be his epitaph, as he planned suicide after its completion. My notes reveal that we heard this quartet at one of the Vanguard Concerts in 2011, at this very venue. It was not a quartet but an orchestral version by the Chamber Orchestra of Kremlin, a regular Vanguard feature. The maestro requested no applause at the end of the work but an absorption of the emotional power cast upon the audience. This performance by our principal artists had the same effect. I am not musician enough to describe the work. I can only state that each of the five movements was a call for longing and unrelenting feeling. Each of the instruments was given phrases, even single notes, that struck deep responses. Bravi to our artists. They rose to the mountaintop and left us full of grateful remembrances. The concert closed with a magnificent rendition of Beethoven’s
“Harp” quartet. Ludwig had some fun with his musicians and his future audiences. Many pizzicato sections, some long, some only s few notes, were full of joy. We left the crowded auditorium full of love and admiration for our Philharmonic artists. The next chamber event is the Concertmaster’s Choice at the DAI on June 2. Jessica will be joined by a guest pianist and cellist. There is a Vanguard Legacy Concert at UD’s Sears Recital hall on March 24th at 3:00 p.m. It will feature the Poulenc Trio playing bassoon, oboe and piano. An unusual “don’t miss!” hhh The Human Race is pure theater. They expand our experience in every direction. On March 11 they presented a stage reading of a most unusual play, Hand of God by Robert Atkins. Scott Hunt directed Colin Hodgkin, Gina Handy, John Michael Lander, Jeremy Farley and Lauren Kampman in an amazing display of acting and creativity. I cannot begin to describe the play. Even I learned a few new “R” rated phrases. I hope it returns fully-fleshed on the Loft stage. “Fully-fleshed” is a most important description of the play!
Oakwood Wind Ensemble will compete at State The Oakwood High School Wind Ensemble has qualified for the Ohio Music Education Association State Contest after receiving Superior ratings for both stage performances and sight-read-
ing at the OMEA District Contest held at West Carrollton High School on March 16. The group performed three pieces for a panel of judges and were given a rating for their efforts.
The students also had to “sight read” a piece they had never seen before for an additional rating. The student musicians will now advance to the State Contest in April.

Pregnant women may receive critical treatment sooner with easy test to diagnose preeclampsia
About one in 20 women develop preeclampsia during pregnancy, which can be life-threatening to both moms and babies. However, it is difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mimic those of a normal pregnancy, such as swelling and headaches. Managing the condition early is critical to keeping mother and child safe, and now a new innovation may help start treatment sooner by quickly identifying preeclampsia with a simple urine test. In a new study, researchers at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center developed a fast and easy test to accurately diagnose the condition in just three minutes. “Giving birth is the only cure for preeclampsia, but it can develop as early as the second trimester,” said Dr. Kara Rood, lead author of the study and maternal-fetal medicine physician at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. “The quicker we identify women with the condition, the better chance they have of carrying their babies to full term and having a healthy delivery.”
Dr. Kara Rood speaks with a pregnant woman during a prenatal visit at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. She led a study to develop a fast and easy test to diagnose preeclampsia, a condition that can be fatal to both mother and baby if not diagnosed and treated quickly.
The test uses a special red dye that reacts to unique proteins in the urine of pregnant women with preeclampsia. It can be given easily during a prenatal visit, providing an immediate diagnosis. “Without the certainty of this test, providers tend to be overcautious because this is definitely a condition that we can’t allow to go untreated,” said Rood.
“This test helps us to quickly provide care to women with preeclampsia, while avoiding unnecessary admissions or even early deliveries.” Researchers expect the new test to be FDA approved in the next few years. Rood hopes it will eventually be available for women to use at home to monitor complications during pregnancy.
Cincinnati Shriners Hospital signs with Dayton Children’s; move a trend to outpatient treatment
Shriners Hospitals for ChildrenCincinnati has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Dayton Children’s Hospital to explore relocation to the Dayton pediatric hospital. Once binding legal documents are complete, Cincinnati Shriners would lease and occupy separate space on the Dayton campus, remaining a distinct “hospital within a hospital.” It is estimated that a final move could occur within the next 16 months. The pediatric specialty hospital, which provides care for burns as well as cleft lip and palate and plastic and reconstructive surgery, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018. “These changes are necessary to ensure that our hospital can continue to provide the finest pediatric specialty care for the next 50 years,” Cincinnati Shriners Hospital
Support The Oakwood Register advertisers!
Administrator Mark Shugarman said. Over the past decades, there has been a decline in the severity and number of pediatric burns in the U.S., especially those requiring a lengthy hospital stay, Shugarman said. The move will enable Cincinnati Shriners Hospital to deliver its specialty services more efficiently, purchasing certain services from the Dayton hospital. “Trends in healthcare have shifted toward more outpatient care,” said Shugarman. “Today, approximately 85 percent of pediatric medical procedures are performed in an outpatient setting, including burn care. The new location will allow Shriners Hospitals for Children to maintain its southwest Ohio presence with a surgical facility designed to meet and exceed medical standards for its
exceptional care.” Cincinnati Shriners Hospital first opened in 1968 as the Shriners Burns Institute, a part of Cincinnati General Hospital, now the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. It is one of four Shriners Hospitals specializing in pediatric burn treatment and has become the gold standard for childhood burn care as well as research on breakthroughs like engineered skin to replace grafting. In 1992, the hospital moved into its current location at 3229 Burnet Avenue in Cincinnati, expanding to include services including cleft lip and palate, specialty wound treatment and plastic and reconstructive surgery. A timeline for the move to Dayton has not yet been determined, but patients could be seen at the new location by summer of 2020.

Weekly Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your burgeoning energy is best used to prepare for every contingency this week. A new start is right around the corner, but you might find it difficult to shrug off problems at home or with your career for a few days. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be feeling your oats as this week unfolds. You can use your extra energy to impress your partner or to take constructive actions. Use good judgment to handle the most difficult tasks with ease. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate. You might spend too much time dealing with avoidable interruptions. Your high energy levels in the week ahead could attract admirers who may mistake warmth and simple kindness for romantic ardor. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may play second fiddle to someone with insatiable ambitions as this week unfolds. Conversations and negotiations are subject to misinterpretation so get things in writing or hold off until next week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you keep your promises your promise will be fulfilled. In the upcoming week you may have a chance to prove that you are loyal and true blue. Your best bet is to focus on joint finances and long-term fiscal security. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Work behind the scenes and stay out of the spotlight. Concentrate your energies on making those in the family circle happy as this week unfolds. Put effort into building a firm foundation that can stand the test of time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week ahead, you may have an opportunity to prove that you are loyal to your employer, co-workers or company. Don’t be distracted by an attractive acquaintance or give in to a restless desire for adventure. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may be energized and have great business sense when working on group projects. However, you might spend too much money on coffee and snacks and fritter away your pennies. Focus on thrift this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Too much flirting can cause some hurting in the week ahead. Focus on your work and don’t be distracted by the potential for romantic dalliances. You might be blind to the pitfalls of an investment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Things might not be what they seem. Don’t be tempted by a dangling carrot. Someone could play to your greed or ambitions and trick you into doing something you shouldn’t do in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Remain focused. Pursue career and business objectives with dogged determination in the week to come and you can overcome every obstacle. Don’t be distracted by sudden shifts of opinion or upsets. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A solid reputation may become even more concrete in the upcoming week. You might find that your home is the stage for numerous social interactions or that your career goals are affected by a peer review.
