Oakwood voters will face single ballot on joint levy, bond issue

Oakwood voters will face a single yes-or-no decision as they vote on two school levies appearing as a combined ballot issue when they head to the polls on Tuesday, May 7. Oakwood Schools is seeking voter approval of two levies – a 4.99-mill continuing current operating levy and a 2.71-mill levy to fund an $18 million, 37-year bond issue to cover the first of four planned phases of school building infrastructure upgrades and improvements. If approved by voters the bond issue will cost city property owners 27 cents annually for each $100 of tax valuation to pay annual debt charges on the bond issue. The current operating levy, which is a continuing tax, would cost property owners an additional 49 cents yearly for each $100 of tax valuation. Voters will not have an opportunity to vote on the two issues independently as the district has “bundled” the two tax increases into a single ballot issue, meaning voters have to approve or disapprove of both levies together. District officials say the two levies are combined into a single vote because the two are “needed and necessary and interdependent.” “The combined ask is comprehensive and transparent,” said Oakwood Schools Interim Treasurer Dan Schall. “There is no surprise later after asking for operating and then needing building or vice versa.” A district spokesperson said both of the tax levies are “critical and equally important so we did not want to prioritize either against the other.” “There are a number of reasons why the district is asking for both operating funds and a bond issue in one request,” the district said in a statement. “Both parts impact the other and the need for each. We are

sensitive to the idea of levy fatigue and prefer to ask for what we need in one simple and straightforward ask. We are spending so much in maintenance to keep everything together if the bond failed we would need more in operating to cover the costs.” The bond issue would fund approximately $19 million in infrastructure projects at Oakwood High School, Junior High and Smith and Harman schools through 2023 as Phase 1 of the district’s four-part Master Facilities Plan, unveiled in 2018. That plan calls for an additional $25 million in expenditures to be made at the four schools in 2025-28 under Phase 2. Phases 3 and 4, slated for 2030-33 and 203538, respectively, call for exploring the concept of building an Early Learning Center on green space behind Wright Library and major renovations or additions to the junior high and high school campus. There are no cost projections associated with the final two phases of the plan, pending decisions at a later date. Early voting is available from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Friday, May 3; 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 4; 1-5 p.m. Sunday, May 5; and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, May 6, at the Montgomery County Board of Elections, 451 West Third Street in Dayton. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by Monday, May 6, or dropped off at the Board of Elections office by 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 7. Polls will open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7.

THE OAKWOOD REGISTER May 1, 2019

Oakwood Schools have exceeded expectations I would say I’m an opinionated person. However, I have never written a letter to the editor before, but I do feel strongly about this issue. I will vote yes for the Oakwood levy. I always have since I moved here in 1987. The schools have never disappointed me but instead frequently surpassed my expectations and I have high expectations (just ask my husband). I have three children that have gone completely through the system (K through 12). The education they received at Oakwood prepared them in every way for their college

and work experiences. They were accepted into selective colleges that draw most of their students from private schools. Actually all three of them had the experience of having a professor say “Give your paper to Justin, Sterling, or Lyndsay to review before you turn it in if you want to get a good grade”. Each of them knows how to write a paper (thank you to the wonderful English department). They were prepared. The math skills they honed (thank you Mr. Loomis, especially) enabled them to keep up with anybody and even excel.

They all acquired good jobs in the competitive environments of New York and Chicago. The results and scores the school achieves don’t lie. Before my career as a Realtor, I was a high school English teacher and guidance counselor. I never felt the need to question their educational process at any time and I love the commissions I make from all the homeowners and buyers who want to live here because of these schools. It might hurt a little but the long term results are well worth it.

Has School Board justified need for new taxes?

I write this letter as a resident of Oakwood for 60 years. When the City of Oakwood experienced financial concerns, the City reviewed its budget. The City reduced its spending and the number of employees. They postponed the purchase of expensive equipment. It is my opinion that the School Board has not made similar efforts to examine their spending. I

believe the School Board has been spoiled over the years as residents have repeatedly voted to increase taxes for the benefit of the schools. I do not have confidence in the School Board and its request for increased funds for repairs of the school buildings and for the additional operating levy. I do not believe they have fully explained the need for additional funds.

There is no explanation of whether existing funds were spent wisely. There is no satisfactory explanation of the $400,000 deficit in the cafeteria fund. I urge voters to carefully consider whether the School Board has justified the need for additional funds. Bill Frapwell

Choosing kids over career led to Oakwood Schools My family and I heard about this community long before we moved here. We heard about the beautiful luscious trees that lined the timeless neighborhood streets. I went online and saw middle school students with the latest technology, district scores that impressed the former teacher in me, and bios of staff that seemed exemplar. I read about the warmth of the people, support of the schools, and ample kids running around. We did multiple video walk throughs with our relator, Chris Endres. Because prior to buying here, we had never set foot in Dayton. We purchased our house site unseen. We took the biggest leap of faith with our savings. When

friends asked us why we accepted orders to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base we told them it was the schools. We were banking on them. We had lived in some of the most beautiful cities and countries in the world. But over time and through very difficult experiences, we had learned what really mattered. Yes, the white sand beaches and perfect weather of Coronado are infamous. Yes, the warm coastlines of Florida are dreamy in December - no snow and ice make winters there ideal. But this time we chose for our three kids - not for my husband’s career. The first week we got here I had my kids enrolled in all the camps. We moved into our home

and unpacked our belongings while my daughter learned her Red Hotz songs. It was a crazy move and my husband was only here for the first week, missing the movers by a day. Shortly after my movers were gone I began to see the intangibles. It started off with the friendliest of neighbors welcoming us to the block- brownies, chocolates, and cookies being left at our door. Block party invites and social gatherings coming from the moms down the street. It felt good to be included. Just a month after arriving we started school in Smith and Little Acorn Academy. Although the community had been nice, I was See Kids on page 4 u

Home value to tax ratio not a reflection on Oakwood Schools This is in response to a Letter to the Editor in The Oakwood Register on April 17, 2019, headlined “Dialogue needed on school district funding.” The unnamed author laments that when his/her home was purchased in 2014 the ratio of “mortgage payment” to “property tax” was 58 percent to 37 percent. Now, just five years later, the ratio has changed to 51 percent to 41 percent. The writer’s concern and call to alarm is based on the fact that less and less of his/her monthly payment is going toward the mortgage and more toward property taxes. One of the advantages of a home mortgage is that the debt and the payment is fixed over the payment period, which is typically 30 years. Yet the home value may triple during that same period of time. This growth in home value, to a large extent in Oakwood, is based on the excellent schools our community supports and the city services our residents receive. Oakwood is a great place to live and raise children. Property taxes (or annual purchase of government services and security) are based on the costs and/ or values received and of course grow over time with the cost of living. It would be unreasonable and unnatural for this portion of our escrow payment to remain fixed while the costs and values of ser-

vices received continued to escalate. The portion of our escrow assigned to cover our property insurance must also increase to cover the increased value of our property. Still our mortgage payment remains fixed to the agreed amount during the mortgage period. Over time a mortgage payment, that may have been 20 percent of income at the origination date, becomes increasingly a smaller and smaller percentage of our income, assuming the usual career progression of income. The fact that the ratio of mortgage payment to property tax changes over time is a good thing and in no way reflects poorly on our Oakwood schools or the City of Oakwood.

OSBA official voices support for Oakwood levy, bond issue On May 7, voters in the Oakwood City School District will be asked to support a ballot request with two parts that is vital to the district’s future and the success of its students. Both components are critical and equally important.

A 2.71-mill bond issue will raise $18 million to fund Phase 1 of the district’s Master Facilities Plan. Phase 1 covers foundational and infrastructure repairs to Oakwood High School and Oakwood Junior High, as well as to Smith and Harman Elementary Schools. These buildings are well-maintained but on average are 90 years old. A 4.99-mill operating levy would raise $1.6 million annually for day-to-day operations, including personnel, support services, and safety and security. Oakwood spends 74 cents of every dollar on instruction in the classroom, which is well above the state average. However, the state funds only about 30 percent of the district’s budget. And, like many school districts across Ohio, Oakwood must balance rising operational costs and infrastructure needs with the fact that, under Ohio law, tax collections do not automatically increase when housing values rise. Remember that investing in your local schools ensures a strong community for generations to come. Rick Lewis Chief Executive Officer Ohio School Boards Association

Paying it forward to those in need, in Dayton

Last week in The Oakwood Register, one of our Oakwood neighbors urged us to pay forward relative to the proposed tax levy. My response is an emphatic “Yes!” But to whom? Oakwood Schools are excellent. But so too are Oakwood parents. Whether or not this levy is passed, Oakwood students will succeed because of this. Oakwood graduates will nearly all go to college, including some of the best in the country. Their likelihood of economic success is very high. But, just a few miles away from us in Dayton, only 28 percent of

young black men are graduating from high school. Only 16.4 percent of Dayton young people are graduating from college. For those who want to pay it forward, it is worth considering that there are other young people needing both your money and time. The East Dayton Miracle Makers program is having real impact on young people in the Twin Towers neighborhood. Ruskin Elementary has moved from among the worst in Dayton to one of the best. It needs tutors and money. The Homework Club at the Dakota Center in West Dayton offers K-8 students tutoring help and meals.

They need tutors and donations for food. The Victory Project in north Dayton is providing young men a pathway to graduation and then trade school and college, while providing entrepreneurial paid experiences and meals. They need mentors and donations. There are so many other ways to pay it forward to children who can be impacted, be it through tutoring or coaching or money. So, when you commit to paying forward to our kids, please consider paying forward to children in our community who have much greater obstacles to success than our Oakwood children. Kevin Hallinan

u Kids from page 2 openly skeptical about the schools. Our experiences in the past taught me parents were the only advocate for children with differences. I had learned teachers (although qualified) played favorites and if we weren’t in “their” group, there was nothing we could do. I watched first hand how administrators worked without accountability. I had our principal tell me they couldn’t do anything to help our kids. He blamed systems and finances. So naturally when I had my first meeting with the teachers here, I expected to hear the same. I was already prepared. But in Oakwood it was different. After the first meeting for our 504 child I saw them implement resources immediately. I became a little less skeptical and more hopeful. A few months in and I got the feeling the teachers really cared. I

saw them stay after, send me emails all throughout their weekend, and communicate with me over any concern. I met parents who were pleased, active, and involved. Each time I came to the front desk and spoke to our acting principal she never made my concerns seem trivial. Mrs. Hummer always seemed as invested as I was in their education. Then came the spring and I saw more changes. I saw teachers follow through on their promises. They responded to each email respectfully and proactively. I started to see the difference in my children too. They spoke of loving their class time. They spoke of engaging projects and assignments that showed them we could be life long learners regardless of their past experiences. They started to take risks, try out for things they had never shown interest in- and flourish. I write this letter to thank all of

you. Thank you to putting our kids first. Thank you for being invested in our schools. Thank you for being a community most dream of and few experience. Thank you for being worth the move, worth the stress, and worth the sacrifice in extra bedrooms and spacious yards. Thank you to our district superintendent who openly discusses things with parents and humbly leads our teachers and kids. As we finish out our first school year, I now realize Oakwood is far more than beautiful old homes and decorated street lamps, it is about community that thrives. I may not live by the Pacific Ocean anymore, or go to the beach anytime I desire, but we would do it all again to get the schools we have dreamt of with our Oakwood community. I am learning we are about being the best because we are all on the same team - one Oakwood. Crecia Orsello

Levy supporter urges ‘yes’ vote Oakwood has two school levies on the ballot. I am writing in support of both of them. The Oakwood Schools were great for our four children. This is why (in no particular order): 1. Our kids could walk to school, which meant consistent exercise and less emphasis on driving for friends and activities. 2. Classroom size is relatively small so each child can receive adequate attention. 3. Over ninety percent of students go to college. Our children were expected to do the same. Our children were challenged not just by teachers but by their peers as well. 4. Students had more options in terms of sports and extra-curricular activities. Student participation in those activities is high compared to other schools. 5. Colleges know Oakwood prepares students well for higher education which gives them a better

opportunity to be accepted at more competitive schools. I like living in Oakwood because I love a walking community. In the winter our sidewalks get shoveled. The garbage trucks come up to our garage. The bus lines are useful. Our small lot only takes 20 minutes to mow. We intend to live here for quite a while however we do know many people who live in Oakwood who send their children to Oakwood schools for high quality education and then move out after their children have left home. If you look at the cost of living here as still cheaper than sending your children to private schools, then the extra money for education is worth it! If you do not have children in the school system, you still can appreciate the extra value for your property due to our excellent schools. Please vote for the levies. Thank you. Jan Runkle

Students clean up waterways I am an 8-year-old girl and my sister and I run a group called Plastic Problem Extinction Crew (PPEC for short.) My DI team and I went to Houk Stream to pick up trash. There was trash everywhere. That trash could have washed downstream to the ocean and harmed animals. Some other things about the plastic problem are: • 100,000 marine creatures and 1 million sea birds die each year because of plastic. • A garbage truck full of plastic

enters the ocean each minute. • It’s not only big pieces of plastic, but also microplastics. • Every time you eat seafood, you eat plastic, too. • Every bit of plastic ever created is still here. PPEC tries to make it so the Plastic Problem is not a thing. We would like to have a picnic in Shafor Park. We will present speeches we wrote, too. We are planning to do this at 12 p.m. on May 31.

Perennial Music and Art By Gary Mitchner I began my “Earth Day” with poems about the changing seasons and ended it with recycling my food waste into the compost, recycling my cans and bottles, and taking the plastic dry-cleaning bags to DLM. Then “The Loving Spouse” and I began to purge old clothing from the cedar closet in a Marie Kondolike moment and took them to the Goodwill. My class at UDOLLI listened to and followed the score of Richard Strauss’s Salome in preparation for the Dayton Opera’s production coming up on May 17 and 19. From there I went to the end-of-the-session memoir writing class, taking jalapeno poppers (see my recipe in the OCC cookbook) for the celebration party where we get to view the booklet prepared by Kay Berg with photos by Nozipo Glenn of all of our endeavors. Mike Schwab met me to go hear the Escher Quartet play Bartok, Haydn, and Smetana. Saw poets Don Bogen from the University of Cincinnati and David Schloss from

Miami University. “The Loving Spouse” then drove back to Cincinnati to join a docentled tour of the Art Museum’s great exhibit “Paris 1900” organized by Heather Hime and the DALI (Dayton Art Lovers’ Initiative) group. Go see it if you enjoy Paris and art nouveau. On Thursday I returned to UDOLLI for the last classes in the poetry of Billy Collins with Jim Brooks and the last three stories of J.D. Salinger’s Nine Stories with Tom Clark. Raise high, literati, poetry and fiction! In the evening I turned to flowers for Earth Day with another Bill(y) Collins, Carol Collins’s brother, the horticulturist who showed us at the OCC how to create planters this spring. Saw lots of folks there: Rose Morgan from Central Perc, who won one of the door prizes, Sue Konek, Laurie and Bill Franz, Beth and Alan Schaeffer, and Kammie Webb (did I spell it correctly?). Friday was even more busy: first, lunch with the SCC retirees at Brixx

(talked mostly with Pat Whitney, Jim Putoff, and Steve Jonas); then more about plants from the Smith Garden Plant sale with Carol Collins, Deborah Edwards, and the nice young man from Fairmont who carried my plants to my porch. Patti Piatt and Charles Bretz arrived for a long weekend with an evening spent at The Contemporary Dayton art auction. A wonderful affair with many of Dayton’s artists and patrons including Linda Lombard, Jeff and Ellen Ireland, Madeleine Iseli, Betsy Whitney, Lois Sutherland, Lidiya Winkler, Dianne Dieterle, Brad Judge, Rich Whitney and so many others. Charles Bretz is a birdwatcher so we celebrated John James Audubon’s birthday at the Dayton Art Institute and The Pine Club, looking for birds in art and chicken at the Pine Club (not to be found, only porterhouse). Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation and perhaps the last fire in the fireplace before we finally experience warm weather. Hope against hope?

Auction continues to inspire Artists

The 25th Annual Art Auction was held at the Sinclair’s Ponitz Center Friday night. Although Dayton Visual Arts Center changed its name to The Contemporary Dayton this year, the many volunteers, artists, exhibitors, collectors and art lovers were all there, as usual, making the event go off without a hitch. Betsy Whitney, Lidiya Winkler and Lois Sutherland were among the many supporters of this annual fundraiser benefitting local and regional artists.

New club takes ‘Wing’ rating area eateries

A group of Oakwood high school culinary enthusiasts have been gathering for several months, meeting at local eateries in an ongoing effort to identify the Miami Valley’s best wings - as in chicken wings. But with the coming of spring, the group – originally calling itself the Dayton Wing Tasting Club - is looking to next rate the area’s best hamburger. “For the last few months, a few of my friends and I have been organizing a club where we go out to different restaurants, taste their chicken wings, rate them, and put it out on Twitter,” explained the club’s Michael O’Hara. “It started as a bit of a joke because we were craving chicken wings at soccer practice one evening. But then we just started meeting every week and the club was born.” O’Hara said the club is open to anyone, and all are welcome to

attend. Each outing usually consists of about eight diners, but the club has attracted as many as 20 people to a single event, said O’Hara. “We use Twitter @WingTasting to communicate the scheduling of meetings and what we think of restaurants. We have been to prob-

ably a dozen different restaurants and tried their wings. We’ve had plenty of fun. We’ve decided to transition to burgers and start trying to find good hamburgers in the Dayton area.” In case you’re wondering the group voted Nick’s in Xenia as the best spot for wings.

All items will be marked down. This is a great way update your Oakwood wardrobe. All proceeds benefit the Oakwood Athletic Boosters and support Oakwood Junior and Senior High sports programs. Cash, credit cards and checks are accepted. The sale will end once all items are sold.

Jazztet set to celebrate Cinco de Mayo at St. Paul’s Church

The Jimmy Leach Jazztet will celebrate Cinco de Mayo at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oakwood at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, with a program of 20th century jazz standards and Latin American favorites, including the bolero “Besame Mucho” (“Kiss me a lot”) in Spanish. This song, written in 1940 by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velazquez, became a global phenomenon and was recognized in 1999 as the most sung and recorded Mexican song in the world. Translated into dozens of languages, the song became an emblem of Latin identity and of lovers separated by World War II. The Jimmy Leach Jazztet combines the talents of Dayton’s top jazz musicians. At the helm, Jimmy Leach leads the group as a singer and trumpeter. Leach’s credits include performances with Johnny Mathis and Shirley Jones as well as

shows at Disney World, Opryland, and around the world playing and singing on Holland American Line cruise ships. Leach’s sidemen include the most sought after jazz players in Southern Ohio with Jim Smith on guitar, Christian Berg on bass, Phillip Burkhead on piano, and Jim Leslie on drums. All of the performers are teachers on the music faculty at the University of Dayton. Although Cinco de Mayo celebrates a victory by the Mexican Army in 1862 during the FrancoMexican war, it has evolved in the United States into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage. The performance is the third concert in the 2018-19 series sponsored by St. Paul’s Church, located at 33 West Dixon Avenue in Oakwood. There is no charge for the concert, but donations will be accepted.

Amateur gardener introduced Gem City to world’s most popular petal at Rose Show

In the mid-20th century, the Dayton Rose Show was a big event for area gardeners and floral enthusiasts. Held at the Dayton Art Institute, the annual show turned into a friendly competition for local rose growers. That was certainly the case for Dr. Clyde “C.C.” Payne, who raised roses as a hobby, and his friend from Grace United Methodist Church, Carlton W. Smith. Smith was a prolific gardener in Oakwood whose name lives on in the form of Smith Gardens, which he donated to the city. At the peak of his gardening prowess, Smith had several hundred rose bushes, maintained by two full-time gardeners, on his large Oakwood estate. By contrast, Payne contented himself with a more modest eight to 10 rose bushes which he maintained himself. The story got interesting when Payne read about a new hybrid tea rose at the end of World War II named, appropriately enough for the times, the Peace Rose. Payne made his discovery in a Jackson & Perkins mail-order catalog, but reasoned that no one else in Dayton was aware of the new hybrid beauty. The Peace Rose had a turbulent history. Just as Europe was about to be engulfed in six years of war, a French horticulturalist by the name of Francis Meilland successfully

hybridized a seedling designated as #3-35-40 in the summer of 1939 while working at his family nursery in southern France. Legend has it that cuttings from the plant were shipped to Conard-Pyle, a leading American horticultural company in Pennsylvania that introduced the rose to America, aboard one of the last airplanes to leave Paris before the Germans captured the city. During the war the rose was introduced in Britain and elsewhere under different names, due to a lack of communication between horticulturalists and competing political alliances. In Germany it became known as “Gloria Dei,” in Italy “Gioia,” and in France the Meilland family named their new hybrid “Mme. A. Meilland” in tribute to Francis Meilland’s deceased mother. The Peace Rose was given its enduring name in 1945 – some histories say it was named on the day that Berlin fell to the Allies, others report it was named at the fall of Japan later that same year, in either case the sentiment was the same. But in an online post from 2009, Jackson & Perkins reported that British Field Marshal Alan Brooke, who orchestrated the strategy that defeated the Germans, was offered a chance to be the rose’s namesake by Meilland. Brooke declined the honor because he thought the name ‘Peace’ would

be more enduring. And he was right, with the Peace Rose eventually becoming the most famous

and widely grown rose in the world. It was even selected as the floral emblem of the newly created

United Nations at the conclusion of the Second World War. The grower describes the Peace Rose as “modest yet elegant having a subtle, but sweet, fragrance, with blooms ranging from creamy white to a delicate orange.” Typically, however, Peace Roses are light yellow in color. After ordering the hybrid, Payne introduced the rose locally when he took a single, not fully opened bud from his new addition to the Dayton Art Institute and entered it in the Dayton Rose Show, where it was displayed along with 788 other entries that year. “He knew the judges would not see it until the afternoon and it would be open at that time,” recalled Payne’s son, Dr. Ted Payne. “It was the hit of the show as no one in Dayton had ever seen a Peace rose. It won Best of Show as well as Best of Class. He was very proud of this accomplishment and that he had beaten his friend and fellow competitor Carlton Smith.” The Peace Rose went on to become such a popular standard that some horticulturalists divide “rose history” into two eras – “Before Peace” and “After Peace.” Smith donated a one-acre plot near the corner of Oakwood Avenue and Walnut Lane, now known as Smith Gardens, to the city of Oakwood in 1975. In 1996, Ohio Magazine declared it one of the finest public gardens in the state. Today Smith Gardens hosts the city’s annual summer blanket concert series and is open to the public during daylight hours yearround, seven days a week.

Leland Manor headlines DPVA 2019 Designers’ Show House and Gardens event

When the Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association (DPVA) opens the doors to the 2019 Designers’ Show House and Gardens at the historic Leland Manor adjacent to Wegerzyn Gardens Metroparks on May 2, it will represent a milestone in both local history and Dayton arts volunteerism. The DPVA, which was formed to support the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra in 1952, is set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its biennial Designers’ Show House and Gardens, which started in 1979 debuting with the Cox

Home built by the son of former Ohio Governor James M. Cox. This year’s show house will be open to the public through May 19. The fundraiser also serves as a stage from which to celebrate Dayton’s fascinating history and the talents of some of the area’s best interior design professionals. Twenty area interior design firms have come together for this year’s home makeover giving this Tudor Revival mansion a contemporary feel while honoring its architectural traditions. Leland Manor was planned and constructed between 1926 and 1932 by famous Dayton inventor and manufacturer George H. Leland and his wife, Hazel. Leland Manor is designed in the Tudor Revival style, one of several revivalist themes that were popular in America during the early 20th century. Tudor Revival homes were

primarily built from about 1910 to 1940, and they were particularly popular among suburban builders. Tudor Revival is loosely based on a variety of early English building traditions ranging from simple folk houses to late medieval palaces. Decorative detailing may draw from Renaissance or even 20th century Craftsman traditions. Characteristics of the style include brick and stone cladding, decorative half timbering that mimics the medieval structural techniques, steeply pitched roofs, clay tile or slate shingles and banks or groups of multi-paned windows. Leland Manor features most of these characteristics including clay tile roof shingles, an abundance of exterior and interior half-timbering and Elizabethan-style windows. Also, of note are the beautiful Delft hearth tiles, unique plaster See Manor on page 11 u

A unique feature of the exterior is the conical tower which incorporates the main entrance with its flat arch door surround and heavy wooden door with wrought iron strap hinges. The door leads to a rounded entrance hall with a beautifully tiled floor. George Leland was born to a farm family in central Indiana in 1897 and arrived in the Gem City in early 1918 to design aircraft components during World War I for the Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, later DELCO. He had a natural academic ability, passing the state teacher’s exam in Indiana just a year after graduating from high school. He was selftaught in advanced mathematics and physics, as well as electrical and mechanical engineering. Over the course of his career he filed for more than 150 patents, eventually leaving DELCO to launch his own company, Leland Electric, which would eventually become G.E. Aviation. His early work focused on designing and manufacturing electric motors, but during World War II Leland’s company developed precision bombing technology for the Air Corps, and later the bomb release system used in See Manor on page 12 u

Between 1926 and 1932, Leland built his Tudor Revival manor on four acres at 1375 East Siebenthaler Avenue, complete with a tennis court and manicured gardens to welcome both family and friends. The house overlooks the Stillwater River and, in the last several decades, Wegerzyn Garden Center. In 1966, the Lelands donated the home to the Dayton Museum of Natural History. From 1971 until its sale to current owners Barbette and David Spitler, the home served as the headquarters of the Dayton- Montgomery County Park District, now Five Rivers MetroParks.

Opera Guild’s Ball, Gem City Ballet’s Spring Repertory, Theatre Guild stages Nice Girl

Opera is great theater and music, Opera also gives a joyous Ball to attend.. Dayton Opera Guild is one of Dayton Opera’s major supports for many decades. They do everything, and I stress everything, for opera in Dayton. The members attend every opera in their finery. They also house our artists, transport singers, and introduce the young to opera with puppet shows and mini operas. And, they pay for a large portion of the opera’s budget. How do they do that – let me count the ways. They really know how to give a party. It is always a party with a purpose. I can’t

count how many Opera Balls we have attended. We can count the results. Since 2000, the Guild has contributed more than $2 million to make opera live in Dayton. Guild President Nancy Farkas gleams when she recounts all that the Guild does. To put the “do” in “does” she appointed expert partygivers Lois Sutherland and Susan Daly to chair the event. They set the ball at Dayton Country Club and, in spite of spring rain, it was all sunshine. The evening was a smashing success. Libations, fine food and a really “big” band with big band music. It had its most poignant moment when Artistic Director Tom Bankston gave another meaningful remembrance and tribute to great opera leader, Jackie Lockwood. Jackie, with the support of her loving husband Bill, were the cornerstone of Dayton Opera for

decades. Missed, mourned and never forgotten describes how opera lovers feel about Jackie and Bill. There were silent and live auctions and a special guest, diva Renee Fleming. Renee had a conflict but was well represented by a lifesize and beautiful cardboard poster. As the evening progressed, one of the auction items was “take Renee home.” And, to our delight, Alice and I were the winners. Tom Bankston also provided an operatic treat. This year’s High School Vocal Competition winner, Amy Helms, sang two arias accompanied by Jeff Powell. Amy has a voice that belies her youth. She amazed the ball attendees just as she had amazed the judges in the competition. Another year, another great Opera Ball, another keystone contribution to life in Dayton. The Guild and Dayton Opera move from triumph to triumph.

hhh The weekend began with the Spring Repertory concert of the Gem City Ballet. The artistic magic and devotion of Barbara Pontecorvo, supported by her lawyer, realtor, actor husband, David Shough, do it all. They are the creators of a ballet school that has revived the spirit of the Schwarz sisters who put Dayton on the national dance map. This very young company performs works of great complexity and challenge, with stunning results. Five ballets, varied and delightful, filled the program. Dancer Mira Sidhu, about to graduate from high school and begin a dance career at the Cincinnati Conservatory and a medical career in college, choreographed “From Before” for six wonderful dancers. The classics returned with “Pas de Trois des Odalisques “ from Petipa’s Le Corsaire. Annie Burns, Mira Sidhu and Candy Darnell made it an exciting triumph. Barbara’s 1999 “Vivement” had Zoe Sweere and Kadyn Tackett leading a corps of eight dancers. Former dancer, now choreographer Adam Hundt, presented a fun and frolicking ballet, “Idle Chatter.” Four couples gave their dance interpretation of conversational complexities. The final work, a major accomplishment, was Barbara’s re-choreography of The Firebird, Stravinsky’s masterpiece. The complex admixture of demons, princesses, a Tsarina and a brave Tsar made the myth become a victory of good over evil. Mira Sidhu was the Firebird and did the difficult role with elan and verve. The

company was augmented by dancers from DancingUnlimited.. These are young persons with physical disabilities. Barbara provides lessons, free of charge, for them. She also pairs them with company dancers for inspiration. And, they dance, in wheel chairs, walkers and with joy and devotion. Barbara does this with her expansive spirit. I am going to list these very special people as they deserve a printed review – a good one. Remember these names. They are wonderful examples of striving and attaining. Abigail Cartwight, Jenna Minges, Joy Minor, Julia Smith, Molly Taylor, Naomi C. Black, Nora Black, Noah Edington, Charlotte Monnin, Margaret Monnin and Cassandra Smith receive my shout of BRAVI. And deserve it! And to Barbara Pontecorvo, my BRAVISSIMA and love. hhh Dayton Theatre Guild loves challenging plays. By mounting Melissa Ross’ Nice Girl, they accepted the challenge and presented a thought-provoking life experience, Directed by Debra Kent the cast of Carly Laurette RisenhooverPeterson, Cassandra Engber, Heather Atkinson and Scott Knisley created characters that lived, not happily, but very much alive. Each actor had to portray this unhappiness and bitterness. This done even when these actors are wonderful and happy people in real life. I give each of them resounding applause for carving life and emotional sturm into performances that were riveting and important.

Jills mount Counterattack against Bishop Watterson

Oakwood tennis players look to Sectional, District matches

Photo by Leon Chuck, Pressbox Photo

Lax Jills tri-captain Anna Millard (14) chases down a loose ball to start a counterattack as fellow junior Clara Minardi (13) follows on her flank. Millard and senior tri-captain Taylor Shineman (not shown) both scored two goals each as Oakwood lost 4-20 to Bishop Watterson. The Jills trailed 2-14 at the half.

Oakwood High School varsity boys’ tennis team is off to a solid start after facing early losses against strong tennis powerhouses Beavercreek, Centerville, Springboro, Miami Valley School, Bellbrook, Wyoming and Seven Hills Academy in Cincinnati. Playing talented players quickly prepared OHS for team wins against Brookville, Fairmont, Eaton, Monroe, Preble Shawnee and Franklin. Coach Kim Gilbert sees great athleticism, sportsmanship and improvement in her team. Returning varsity players, co-captain Sam Lahmon (12), Ryan Clark (12), Michael O’Hara (12), co-captain Logan Connally (12), Nathan Boyce (11), Sam Rhodes (10) have led the Jacks with experience and good rapport on and off the courts.

Newcomers Jake Schairbaum (9), Owen Dewing (10) and Ryan Jacobs (10) have added fresh talent. The boys play with heart as shown in their improving 6-7 record. The Jacks are ready for upcoming matches against Milton-Union, Valley View, Chaminade Julienne, Mason, Alter, Miamisburg and Tippecanoe before several players make a post-season run for the state tournament. Oakwood players will compete in Sectionals on May 9 with hopes to make it to Districts. Lahmon, who plays first singles, is looking to make his fourth trip to Districts at the Lindner Center playing doubles with Schairbaum as players can switch positions for post-season play. Boyce hopes to make his second appearance playing singles this year.
