The annual Oakwood Easter Egg Hunt last weekend was a success after a night of heavy rain. Youngsters in rain boots roamed the green behind Wright Library gathering thousands of eggs during the event, which was sponsored by Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 107 with assistance from Boy Scout Troop 101 and the residents of Brookdale Place.

THE OAKWOOD REGISTER April 24, 2019

District should disclose payroll, benefit costs

A somewhat informative “2019 Oakwood City Schools Financial Update” was included in the April 17, 2019 issue of The Oakwood Register, which included a Message from Oakwood Schools Chief Financial Officer Julie Belden, CPA, MBA. Besides the financial information provided in a macro view of pie charts and graphs, there is another method which the great variety of Oakwood residents could use in order to get a better and more personal feel for the costs of the Oakwood Schools. I request that the Schools’ Chief Financial Officer provide, through the The Oakwood Register, the total annual costs for every person on the payroll of the Oakwood schools system for the year 2018

or the most recent fiscal year for which these figures are available. Besides wages and salaries, this should include bonuses, holiday pay, all types of insurance, pension fund contributions, etc. Everything. This is not a request for a breakdown of each cost that makes up the total for each person, but this is a request for the total cost figure for each person. No names are requested. The costs reported in response to this request could be simplified. For a hypothetical example: if there are 50 teachers for whom the total annual cost for each teacher is $119,000, there is no need to list 50 “teachers” separately. It could simply be stated that there are 50 teachers for whom the total

costs per teacher is $119,000. This request is for the total annual cost amount for every person on the payroll, the highest paid, the lowest paid, and everyone in between. This would include full-time and part-time employees, and I ask that they be identified as such. This should include the Chief Financial Officer. Job titles could be deleted as the Chief Financial Officer sees fit; but the total costs for every person on the payroll is still requested. A pie chart in the above-cited publication shows that the vast majority of costs is for money paid to, or for the later benefit of, people on the schools’ payroll. See Costs on page 30 u

Oakwood Schools are a comparative ‘bargain’

Two summers ago, with a twoyear old daughter and another on the way, my wife and I had to decide where we wanted to raise our young family. We lived at the time in the Oregon District, so the choice was to stay in Dayton and send our daughters to a parochial school, or move to one of the large sprawling suburban communities

in the area. Eventually, we chose neither. Once we drove through Oakwood and saw kids walking and riding bikes to their neighborhood schools, and then researched the high level of achievement of the Oakwood School District, we knew we wanted to make Oakwood our home. During my time in Oakwood, I

have gotten a unique perspective on how our school system works as I am both the parent of a Smith Elementary student and the coach of the OHS Cross Country team. As the parent of a preschooler, I see how tirelessly the staff works to set a foundation for these little ones to build upon. I look forward to coming home every night and

Schools central to community Twenty-one years ago, with a baby on the way, we moved to Oakwood, a decision made based on several factors: older housing stock, walkable neighborhoods, and excellent schools. It is the best decision we have ever made. As much as we have made the most of the walkable streets and enhanced and enjoyed our older home, it is the schools that have been central to the value of this life decision. That baby, and his younger brother who came along nearly two years later, are two very different students with varied skills and interests. Yet, they were both challenged and accommodated by the Oakwood Schools in meaningful ways. Whether it was the rigor of a fundamental science, like

physics, or the application of realworld scenarios, such as investing on Wall Street, Oakwood’s curriculum positioned our sons for their future pathways. This learning was further enhanced by the extra experiences they were both afforded through band, athletics, Academic Decathlon, and community service such as Eco Club. It was through these activities that they made lifelong friends, realized the value of teamwork, and learned leadership skills. These opportunities knitted our boys into an inclusive community experience, which we found invaluable. In fact, that is how we see the Oakwood Schools – as central to See Schools on page 30 u

having my daughter excitedly tell me all the things she learned at school that day. In my position as the High School Cross Country Coach, I have gotten the opportunity to see the type of young adults developed by Oakwood Schools. Of course I am impressed by their multiple academic and athletic achievements. But I am even

more impressed by the work ethic shown by these students every day. It is that work ethic that will have them graduate OHS well prepared for future success. Like most of us, I don’t look forward to paying property taxes. But the fact is, Oakwood Schools are a bargain! Area parochial See Bargain on page 30 u

‘Pay it forward’ by supporting new school levy

Greetings Neighbors! We have an opportunity to vote for a levy on May 7th to support Oakwood schools. Full disclosure: like many readers, we cringe a little at the thought of our taxes going up. Yet after learning more about the levy, we have decided to enthusiastically support it. How did we reach this conclusion? Like many of you, we decided to live in Oakwood primarily because of the quality of education offered. Previous residents of Oakwood have approved past tax increases and levies to allow our schools to reach the level of excellence we enjoy today. Our children have been the beneficiaries of outstanding teaching, superb

resources, and safe learning environments. It is now our turn to pay it forward to ensure the continued success of the Oakwood educational experience for future families. The levy is comprised of two parts: the first part addresses infrastructure needs, and the second part covers the operational needs of the district, which rise every year just like other businesses. Many of us live in homes that are nearly the same age as the schools, yet we don’t think twice about renovating bathrooms or updating electrical systems. Similar improvements must be made for school buildings that are nearly 100 years old. It’s not just about the kids’ comfort, it’s also about their safety. In regards

to the operational part of the levy, Oakwood directs almost 75 percent of its funds into classroom instruction, which is far above the state average. These dollars will affect a wide range of factors including class size, creative curricula, and outstanding resources. Class size not only affects students’ learning and academic success but also better fosters their social and emotional growth. As parents we are thankful to be able to reach out to staff with concerns and be met with a prompt response including collaborative, student-led problem solving. It’s natural to question the need for another levy – we certainly See Levy on page 30 u

Friends,

fun and loving it!

Oakwood School levy: When is enough, enough? I would like to share a little different perspective about the upcoming levy. Initially, I would like to state that my children have attended Oakwood schools in the past and we were very pleased with the experience. I do not believe the issue at hand is about the quality of education that our students receive. Graduation rates, test scores and State Report Cards all exceed other schools in the area and the state. It is common knowledge that to live in Oakwood is not cheap due to already high property taxes, the highest in the area. My concern

centers on when enough is enough? There are lots of viable options in neighboring communities for those who choose not to pay the higher taxes. Folks that I speak with don’t want the already high taxes to keep going up and up. Quite a few are talking about moving out of Oakwood if the levy is passed. Many have lived here for decades. All neighborhoods go through evolution. People move out and new people move in. The problem we will have is who will move in to replace those that leave? I doubt that young families with multiple

children will be able to pay the increasing taxes. How about single parents living on one income? To carry this a little further, how about all the older folks on fixed incomes and all the elderly citizens facing ever-increasing medical bills? What happens to our community and home values when people flee the high taxes and there are no families interested, or financially able, to move into the empty homes? What about the numerous apartments in our community? Will they still be competitive to renters if the See Enough on page 30 u

‘Repaired’ sidewalks: An Homage to Mondrian

The other day I was out working on my yard. More precisely, I was repairing the lawn repairs that the Vectren people had made last summer, after digging up my yard so they could install a new gas pipeline. They had left the soil very uneven, and the grass they had planted hadn’t survived the winter. As a result, I got to spend part of a fine spring day leveling

the soil and replanting the grass. As I looked down the sidewalk, I noticed, once again, another consequence of their work. Our sidewalks now have squares of alternating colors, mostly dark gray with intermittent squares of very light gray. Vectren could, one imagines, have tinted their new cement to match the rest of the concrete in Oakwood, but they didn’t, the way

they didn’t repair people’s lawns in a way that wouldn’t require subsequent re-repair. A friend who came to visit asked what had happened to our sidewalks. Was it, he surmised, an expensive and labor-intensive act of vandalism? I assured him that it wasn’t. I was thinking fast at this point, See Homage on page 30 u

Engagement

Oakwood United expanding high school options

Oakwood United Soccer Club is announcing a large step in the club’s continuing commitment to provide players and families from Oakwood and surrounding communities with a ‘player-centered’ approach to soccer development. Beginning in the 2019-20 season, Oakwood United will partner with NWC Alliance, Southwest Soccer Club and the Dayton Players Academy (DPA) to form a collaborative high school select team soccer program. The partner-

ship will operate under the DPA name and utilize the coaching staffs and facilities of each member organization. Collectively, it seeks to provide appropriate soccer development opportunities for all Dayton area players wishing to continue soccer development as they transition to high school and continue through their senior years. DPA aspires to create a soccer program that is meaningful in the Dayton area. Oakwood United said it is excited to partner with

DPA and other regional clubs in a collaborative program. Each group seeks to provide a coherent development pathway, where players are able to develop in local community clubs through U14, transitioning to a high school platform (U15-U19) to enable players to take appropriate next-steps in development. The goal is to provide options for as many soccer players in Dayton as possible. For information and tryout dates, visit www.oakwoodunited.com and www.dpacobras.com.

’Round Town DAli, SPeCtRuM, LEO

By Gary Mitchner What a strange title, right? But strangely, the two acronyms and the word represent events that I attended this week. First, though, after reading Thomas Hardy and Billy Collins, there was a moving “Celebration of Life” for Don Drozd at Routsong’s. His exceptional family spoke eloquently about their father, about their brother. Don was very altruistic so there were many people there to honor him. I could not stay for the reception since I had to be with DALI - that’s Dayton Art Lovers’ Initiative - at the K-12 TEJAS gallery for a talk by Richard Mantia and a tour given by Jerri Stanard with lunch. Then it was off to SCC for dinner and the SPECTRUM awards given to creative writing students. Former Oakwoodite Kate Geiselman was there since she will be the new

English Department chair. Sarah Kiewitz, Jamey Dunham, Chuck Freeland, Caroline Reynolds, Vicki Stalbird - all my former colleagues - were also in attendance, as well as many others, especially parents and friends of the winners. Unfortunately, the Gary Mitchner Prize for a Formal Poem was given to someone not able to attend. That was one day of constant activity. After I read a poem (“Spring Cruelty”) for Nancy Drozd in my memoir writing class, I settled into household duties. LEO stands for “Let’s Eat Out,” a social activity of the Friendship Force of Dayton. Jessica Keuper organized the dinner at Thai 9 for 30 members. I met a new member, Barbara Lister, as well as Tony from Rotterdam and Milt from Oxford. In addition, Jacqueline Bunke, Peg Crutchfield, Colleen and Jim Dillon, Marilyn Frank, Teresa

Fredrick, Preston Stegman, Janine and Scott Kinnison, Bobi McDermott, Susie and Ivan Nunez, Bambi Saxe, Vicki and Ron Thompson, Louise Van Vliet, and Julie and Zach Vann were all there. We were pleased to learn that the manager TJ was originally from Holland and that his parents were members of FFI in The Netherlands. Though I forgot to put a Poem in My Pocket, I sadly learned that my first creative professor, poet Stanley Plumly, had died in Maryland; he was a professor at the University of Maryland. “The Loving Spouse” and I basically met in his class. The Easter weekend involved a lot of eggs and candy with a trip to the Aronoff in Cincinnati to see the musical Miss Saigon; I’m not a great fan of musicals unless they are the classics or by Stephen Sondheim. “The Loving Spouse,” Rose Vernon, and Patti Piatt enjoyed it though. Did we have breakfast at IHOP? No, that was just the Easter Bunny’s favorite restaurant, according to the grandkids.

Friends of Smith Gardens host annual Perennial Sale

The Friends of Smith Gardens Perennial Sale will be held on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27, at the Oakwood Community Center, 105 Patterson Road.

A complete listing of plants

is available for pick up at the Oakwood Community Center or by calling the OCC at 298-0775. This fundraising event is open to the public with proceeds going to the care and maintenance of Smith Gardens. Volunteers are needed to help with the sale.

Think outside the pizza box By Wolfgang Puck Tribune Content Agency Although you can find artichokes in markets most of the year, right now is their absolute peak of season. So I thought I’d share a recipe that features artichokes in one of my favorite preparations, as the featured topping for a very simple pizza that complements the vegetable with some flavorful homemade

chili-garlic oil, fresh herbs, caramelized onions and a light sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan. That’s it. There’s no slathering of sharp tomato sauce or blanket of melted cheese to conceal the deliciousness of the artichoke itself. We who love artichokes are often tempted to call it the perfect vegetable. Consider just a few of the facts. Artichokes are beautiful to

behold. Wide at their stem ends and gradually tapering, they range in size from barely bigger than golf balls to, more commonly, the dimensions of a softball. The exteriors are covered in fibrous leaves with sharp,

pointy tips. Buried inside, however, is the artichoke’s heart: Firm, nutty and rich-tasting, a treasure that’s delicious whether the artichoke is steamed whole or pared down to the heart alone, which can be stuffed

Herbed Artichoke Pizza

Makes four 8-inch pizzas Pizza dough (recipe follows) 4 teaspoons chili-garlic oil (recipe follows) 2 teaspoons minced thyme and oregano leaves Sauteed artichokes (recipe follows) Caramelized onions (recipe follows) 4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan 8 large fresh basil leaves, cut into julienne strips

Place a pizza stone on the oven’s middle rack. Preheat to 500 F (260 C). On a lightly floured work surface, stretch out each dough ball into an 8-inch (20cm) circle, shaping the edge slightly thicker. Brush with chili-garlic oil. Sprinkle with thyme and oregano. Top with artichokes and onions. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Using a pizza paddle, transfer the pizzas to the pizza stone. Bake until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Scatter with basil and cut each into four slices.

Pizza Dough scrambled eggs with chorizo hash, queso, crunchy corn tortilla chips, Rojo salsa and fried jalapeños.

Chili-Garlic Oil

Makes 2 cups 1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

In a small saucepan, combine the garlic and oil. Place over high heat and, when the garlic sizzles, reduce the heat to low and cook, checking frequently, until the garlic turns light golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the pepper flakes and infuse for 2 hours. Strain into an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for up to two weeks.

Spring Rejuvenation

Garden

Work deadlines, dating drama, health issues, spouse coordination challenges, the responsibility of raising children/taking care of elderly parents, things to do and places to be… life can sometimes overwhelm even the most resilient! Take some personal time and enjoy a full sensory experience that is the garden. Center yourself, literally and figuratively, in a garden to enjoy the splendor of spring in all its glory. Listen to birds singing, squirrels scurrying, perhaps the tinkling of a wind chime. Draw in the fragrance of new blooms. Feel the elements – sun on a warm day, gentle breezes, the texture of mother earth – wet, dry, soft and fluffy or crumbly and hard. Expand the palate with edible flowers, plants and, of course, the rewards of harvest. If you prefer a public garden, experience the magnificent Oakwood oasis, Smith Gardens. Let the re-birth of seasons energize your spirit!

u Pizza from page 6 springtime weekend. Although it’s easy, you’ll need the afternoon for some advance preparation. Allow three or four hours to prepare the following recipe for my own go-to pizza dough. You’ll also want to allow at least a couple of hours for the seasonings to steep in my recipe for chili-garlic oil, and at least an hour to cook and cool the caramelized onions. The sauteed artichokes featured as the topping need less than 15 minutes to cook. But allow another 30 to 45 minutes to prep them first, a process I’d like to share in detail here. First, squeeze two lemon halves into a bowl of cold water, and have one more lemon at the ready, cut in half; this will prevent the artichoke hearts from discoloring. Cut off the stems with a paring knife. Starting at the base and rubbing cut surfaces with a lemon half, carefully peel off the tough outer green skin and leaves, working upward to the indentation about a third of the way from the base. Cut crosswise at the indentation to expose the fibrous choke; scoop it out with a teaspoon. Cut each bottom into eight wedges and put in the lemon water. They’re now ready to cook. Once the artichokes have been

Love

Exceptional schools, eminent library, engaged parents, and Midwestern values - Oakwood cultivates prodigious minds and community members who make a difference. Recently, a group of four conscientious Oakwood high school students, identified a serious social issue and are problem solving. Ryann Mescher, Dana Clark, Zoe Waller and Claire Parker are tackling the complex and awkward subject of mensuration - specifically the lack of feminine products available to women in low income households. This social problem is known in health care as ‘period poverty’ and is defined as the lack of access to sanitary products, menstrual sauteed, you’ll be ready to start putting together some of the easi-

hygiene education, toilets, hand washing facilities, and/or waste management. With a significant portion of Montgomery County living below the poverty line, this worldwide issue affect us locally - of significance, these products aren’t covered by WIC or other welfare or social programs leaving impoverished women the grim choice between meeting their food and shelter requirements or menstruation health essentials. Mescher, Clark, Waller and Parker have started a nonprofit centralized collection and funding agency, Femme Aid Collaborative. Through strategic relationships and community organization, they strive to provide a steady supply of feminine hygiene products for community members in need. Their efforts will hopefully, one day, eradicate period poverty in the US. You can help by donating products via their drop barrels, running a mini-product drive at your place of work or worship, hosting a drop-off location, connecting them with a charity that needs their services, hosting your own product drive or simply making a donation. We hope you’ll support this worthy cause and champion others - passion pervades our Oakwood community, together, let’s make a difference!

City: Contractor will pay for tennis court repairs

After only six months in service, the new Shafor Park Tennis Courts are due for a facelift. Multiple cracks have appeared in the newly installed courts, including at least seven fissures running the full length of the new courts and one continuous crack which runs the full width behind four of the five tennis courts. The nearly $800,000 project to install new tennis courts and a parking lot at Shafor Park was a joint venture between the City of Oakwood and Oakwood Schools, who will use the facility as home courts for the district tennis teams. The courts were originally supposed to be opened in time for the high school’s fall 2018 tennis season, but construction delays forced the district to play at Old River tennis courts owned by the University of Dayton for the entire fall season last year. The new courts officially opened to the public on Oct. 26, 2018. Once completed, however, problems quickly surfaced – literally – with drainage issues, numerous cracks appearing and portions of the surface coating chipping away. City and school district officials met with the project general contractor, Bilbrey Construction, Inc., on April 17 to discuss needed repairs to the new courts, which City Manager Norb Klopsch said will be covered at

no cost under a warranty agreement. “The repair work, including application of a completely new acrylic surface, will take place between late May and early July,” Klopsch said. “The contractor will make all of the repairs under warranty. All of this work will be completed under warranty, at no cost to the city or the schools.” The new tennis courts and parking lot, including construction and professional services such as engineering and architect services, cost the city and school district a combined $793,810. The city paid $595,358, with Oakwood Schools paying $198,452. The city portion of the bill included $23,000 in utility relocation costs and approximate-

ly $19,000 in landscaping costs, according to Klopsch. Oakwood Schools paid 50 percent of its share of the project cost in December and will pay the remaining 50 percent in July, he said. “Oakwood Schools values our continued partnership with the City of Oakwood on projects benefiting our students and our residents,” Oakwood Schools Superintendent Dr. Kyle Ramey said. “The tennis courts are a great asset to our community and our student athletes. We are confident the repairs, which will be covered by the warranty and at no additional cost to the District or the City, will alleviate current problems and prepare the courts for years of use.”

Wright Library exhibit

Oakwood Historical Society’s Carol Holm curates an exhibition at Wright Memorial Library of never-before displayed antique dolls clothes once owned by former Oakwood resident Emma May Downer, who was born in February 1860. Holm’s past exhibits at the library have included collections assembled from Japanese-American

internees during World War II, vintage radios, White House Christmas tree ornaments, salutes to veterans and world currencies. “Carol’s displays provide wonderful historical connections for visitors to our beautiful North Reading Room. She offers fresh exhibits that draws interest as well as educate,” said Wright Library Director Kristi Hale.

Library hosts release open mic night for art and literary zine

Wright Library invites the community to celebrate the release of its 80th anniversary Art and Literary zines on April 26, 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the library. Attendees will be able to pick up a copy and enjoy an open mic during the release event. The library selected both writings and artwork for a print edition, called glide and online edition, titled glide on. Over 70 contributors ages 14 through adult submitted 120 pieces, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, photography, painting, and digital art. The collection is published in

honor of the 80th anniversary of Wright Library. Wright Library turned 80 in February 2019. The two issues contain unique content, though in some cases, contributors may have different work represented in each edition. Librarians Diane Bengson and Elizabeth Schmidt organized the effort. “We were eager to include as many pieces as possible in the print edition as our budget allowed,” Bengson said. “We are pleased that we were able to include many additional excellent pieces in the online version.”

To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself.

6/21 Fri Cabaret 8pm In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the CABARET. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, CABARET explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken by English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Two Ladies.” Thru 6/30 6/22 Sat 3 & 8pm 6/23 Sun 3pm 6/28 Fri 8pm 6/29 Sat 3 & 8pm 6/30 Sun 3pm

430 Wayne Ave. Dayton 278-5993 www.daytontheatreguild.org 4/19 Fri Nice Girl 8pm In suburban Massachusetts in the mid-1980’s, thirty-something-year-old Josephine Rosen has a dead-end job as a secretary and still lives at home with her hypochondriac mother. She started college but never finished, and has settled into a life that doesn’t offer much hope for the future. But when a new friendship at work and a chance flirtation with an old classmate give her hope for the possibility of change, she dusts off the Jane Fonda tapes and begins to take tentative steps towards a new life. This is a play about the tragedy and joy of figuring out who you are and letting go of who you were supposed to be.

With no other identification other than “Sylvia” on her nametag, she’s a street-smart mutt with a mind of her own and no shortage of opinions. Sylvia quickly becomes a major bone of contention between Greg and his wife, Kate. To him, she’s a welcome escape from an unhappy job and a loss of purpose. To Kate, Sylvia’s a slobbering, hairy rival for her husband’s affection. This ingenious take on a twisted love triangle leads to plenty of laughs and revelations on love and marriage…and a dog. Thru 5/12 4/27 Sat 8pm 4/28 Sun 2 & 8pm 4/30 Tue 7pm 5/1 Wed 7pm 5/2 Thu 8pm 5/3 Fri 8pm 5/4 Sat 8pm 5/5 Sun 2pm 5/7 Tue 7pm 5/8 Wed 7pm 5/9 Thu 8pm 5/10 Fri 8pm 5/11 Sat 8pm 5/12 Sun 2pm 5/6 Fri Fallen Angels 7pm From one of England’s wittiest writers comes a farcical 1920s romantic romp turned titillating treat. Best friends Julia and Jane are both in stable—but sometimes boring—marriages. Their lives are turned upside down when a past lover of both ladies plans a visit. Should they be good wives, or give over to remembered passion? Nerves, alcohol and jealousy make for a hysterical reunion reminiscent of the hijinks of “Lucy and Ethel.” 6/14 Fri Lizzie 8pm “Lizzie Borden took an ax…” And we know what happened next. Or, do we? It’s a powerhouse rock-show retelling of the sensational—and bloody—double murder that shocked New England in the summer of 1892, as told through the fierce performances of four stellar actresses. What starts as the abuse and despair of a troubled woman results in a shocking act of revenge when she takes a hatchet to her oppressive father and stepmother. Charged with the killing of her parents, Lizzie becomes a media sensation even as the trial takes its toll on the relationships with those dearest to her.

Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying run-in with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness. Thru 6/30 /6/26 Wed 8pm 6/27 Thu 8pm 6/28 Fri 8pm 6/29 Sat 2 & 8pm 6/30 Sun 2 & 7:30pm

Now, she struggles to tell her story to her parents, the authorities, and anyone who will listen. This bold and chilling play investigates the media storm that follows any tragedy and the way stories get twisted and turned. It shines a light on our obsession with needing to place blame and the way we all fight to discover the truth and find justice. Thru 4/28. 4/26 Fri 8pm 4/27 Sat 2 & 8pm 4/28 Sun 2pm

Wright State Arts Gala 2019, Kettering Children’s Choir perform at Schuster Center

Twenty years, check that, 20 Gala years. The Wright State Arts Gala passed two decades of creating the outstanding scholarship event in Dayton. I was at the original meeting of a WSU committee when Dean Mary Ellen Mazey proposed a showcase of the WSU arts students. Unlike the fabled Andy Hardy film’s solution for everything, “Let’s give a show and save the school,” this was to turn the Creative Arts Center into a display of all of the arts. More important, it was to be a display of all of the arts’ students. I ventured an opinion at that meeting. “This would become the biggest celebratory night in Dayton” was my forecast. The combination of the devotion to all of the arts, music, theater, film, graphic and fine arts professors, when flavored, with the zest of youth, would be irrepressible. Leadership from faculty and staff took the spark and ignited a bonfire. Jennifer Buckwalter, Linda Caron, Victoria Oleen, were several of the prime operators. Faculty greats Stuart McDowell, Joe Deer, Kim Warrick, Herb Dregalla and many others prepared student performances and displays. An Arts Gala Committee attracts volunteer civic leaders. All of the departments of the arts joined in the effort and a showcase was created that became a win, win, win result. The Creative Arts Center has been rebuilt into a magnificent venue that becomes chock-full of bright, shiny students hosting nearly 800 guests. The attraction – fabulous entertainment of every genre, unlimited food and drink venues, camaraderie and elegance abounding. As important as the festivities is the mission of the Gala – student scholarships. Nearly $3 million have been raised for student scholarships. It is inspiring to see the students, all beautiful in their finest, wearing the special tag “Gala Scholarship Recipient.” This year, Alice and I decided to do “creative wandering.” Any attempt to do, see, eat everything available was abandoned. We always begin with lavish hors d’oeuvres that take us to the first event – the Wind Symphony concert. In the refurbished Schuster Hall, the students provide symphonic fireworks. The culmination is always the appearance of the Gala Committee chairperson conducting the orchestra. This year, Michael Berning received the coveted baton and the result was salubrious.

Next we were “tipped off” to see the Shakespeare theater students doing a scene from A Midsummer Nights Dream. Here the rollicking tradesmen apprentices entertain the Duke and his retinue. Always a fun interlude, this one became a guaranteed “best ever.” As a special surprise, Master Actor Bruce Cromer stepped into the cast at the final minute due to the illness of a student actor. Bruce was able to control the ferocious, and also cowardly, lion. We fell to the lure of the opera department. A special version of The Merry Widow gave the students an opportunity to sing those wonderful songs. This is a time-honored operetta and the most circuitous and improbable love story. Naturally, all ended well as we were surrounded by wonderful singing and only a few steps from the culinary delight of the evening. The feature was an unlimited offering of “lamb lollipops.” These lamb chops were perfectly done and delectable. We each took two and spent the rest of the evening regretting not devouring more. Our next performance venue was in the Herbst Theatre, deep in the depths of the Arts Center. The many levels of stairs needed to reach and return have always been worth it. We have experienced many fabulous plays there. This was billed as “Let it Be” A Beatles Experience. A large group of singers recreated the Beatles songs and in one interlude, recreated the Beatles. This time, the storied group was a quartet of females and a drummer. Fabulous is not adequate to describe the experience. I can admit, with pride and appreciation, that there was a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Suddenly, it was time for the last performance, on the main stage, of the hit musical A Little Night Music. WSU›s student production was perfection. This vignette was a reminder of how much talent flows from the students, as nurtured by their devoted faculty. How fortunate they are to receive such mentoring. How fortunate we are to have them at our doorstep. The evening ended with heartfelt farewells. We wish our student performers success in New York and their WSU supported “showcase.” This is an important step in the budding careers of our graduates The finale is always to collect our famous and scrumptious chocolate pianos and resolve to return for the Gala next year. And, we will! In my last article, I referred to my error in attending the Arts Gala clad in what I thought was correct attire – black eye optional. I blackened my eye in the customary method – stupidly. Must I say more?

hhh Now for something completely different! The Kettering Children’s Choir presented a major concert at the Schuster. We know of the choir and its many successes. They have been featured with the Miami Valley Symphony in several concerts and are inspiring. I have a personal history with them, not as a performer but as a rejectee. In my distant youth, almost 80 years ago, I accompanied several of my buddies to one of the downtown churches to audition for the then Rotary Boys Choir. All who know me are aware that I was rejected for good reason. There is

a shortage of music for “tin-eared” monotones. We attended this major concert, A Celebration of Flight” enthusiastically as we had “a horse in the race.” Two of our favorite adopted nephews are chorus members, Zach and Vince Piontek. This darling and lively pair have returned to Dayton by way of life in Italy, Turkey and Peru. The program was divided among the chorus, ages 8-11, and various concert and a cappella choirs of high school ages. They were accompanied by Maestro Patrick Reynolds’ Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, with interludes

by the Beavercreek Brass. Guests included Stephen Wright, nephew of Orville and Wilbur and Mark Armstrong, son of moonlanding pioneer Neil Armstrong. Also, guest singers Felita LaRock, Alaina Saliba and Ian Jones, all Choir alumni, added to the music. This concert was a tribute to the mentors who direct the choruses. They include such musical icons as Natalie DeHorn, Jennifer and Mark Jauss, Bruce Swank, James Tipps, and Sarah Smith. The entire program was expertly emceed by Lloyd Bryant, decorated US Air Force flyer and music recorder par excellence.

of Oakwood, born November 7, 1931, in Mullens, West Virginia, passed away peacefully April 15 surrounded by his loving family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Grace Deal and his sister Jackie Dunn. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Mary Ann Spicer Deal, three children, Kevin (Amy), Kelley, Kim Deal and three grandchildren Rebecca, Grace, Robert Edward II Deal, two brothers James (Dorothy) and Richard (Crystal) Deal, many nieces and nephews, good friend Kyle Rector, and doting caregivers Joanna Little and Kayla Topolski. Ed was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was one of the most caring and intelligent pillars of his community. Ed led by example and was the definition of integrity. Ed was born and raised in the mountains of West Virginia. Like his mother he was a voracious reader. Ed skipped two grades and graduated high school at sixteen. He worked odd jobs like “making gravel” from rocks for driveways. This involved swinging a sledgehammer to “make little ones out of big ones.” He was

also a coal miner. Ed volunteered for the Korean War. He wanted to be a tail gunner but did too well on his aptitude test. He was assigned to radar school after which he shipped off to Japan to repair fighter jets. After the war he made his way back to West Virginia where he met the woman who would “light up his world,” whom he called, “Babe.” They were married on September 7, 1956. Ed used the GI Bill to attend Marshall University. He initially wanted to become a journalist but again did too well in his aptitude tests and wound up graduating with a BS in Physics. After graduation he taught high school math and eventually found his way to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where he spent thirty years as a civil servant ultimately retiring as the Director for the Mission Avionics Division of the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratory. Ed was considered at one time to be the foremost authority on laser physics in the world. His accomplishments included the development of the U2 high reconnaissance camera used to take photos of Soviet missiles during the Cuban

missile crisis. He also helped develop laser guided munitions and cruise missile target identification. His patents include the Corner Cube Reflector extraction method for retrieving downed pilots and the Zero Field MASER. The latter of which was of such significance that Ed was required to personally “educate” the inventor of the hydrogen bomb, Dr. Edward Teller on his MASER work. Ed was responsible for some of the most significant advances in military weapons in the world. He was also recognized for his efforts in advancing women in the work place and was awarded the nation’s Outstanding Civilian Career Service Award. He was inducted into the Mullens High School Hall of Fame. Ed was a painter, a Pee Wee football coach, and a lover of music. In the 1990s he appeared in MTV music videos and was a touring crew member for the Nirvana/Breeders’ In Utero tour. But most importantly Ed was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a loving caregiver to his wife, Ann, who has lived with Alzheimer’s for many years. He is missed. Services will be held at a later date.

WRIGHT at HOME contest winners

Congratulations to our Wright at Home winners! The name of Orville’s Saint Bernard was Scipio. He bought the dog as a puppy in 1917 for $75 which would be approximately $1,400 today. He loved Scipio dearly as evidenced by the photos of the

dog found in his wallet when he died decades after his beloved canine. Winners of the contest will receive two tickets to Dayton History’s Wright at Home event on Sunday, April 28 where they will enjoy a tour of Hawthorn

Hill and a walking tour throughout the adjacent historic neighborhood. Winners: Elaine Zamonski Kammi Webb Kathy McGuire

The Oakwood High School boys’ varsity lacrosse team went 1-1 last week, taking on two tough area competitors. The Jacks beat Chaminade Julienne 16-3 April 17 at CJ. The Jacks outmanned the Eagles, playing the fourth quarter with many JV players in their first

varsity action. OHS faced off against Bellbrook on April 20 in a SWBL rivalry game. The junior varsity started the night on a winning note, holding off the Eagles 6-4. Varsity came out flat against the visitors, going down 4-1 after the first quar-

ter. The penalty filled contest was even the rest of the way with Bellbrook holding on to a 9-6 victory. The team is on the road this week with a Wednesday contest at Franklin and a Friday evening contest at Wyoming.

u Schools from page 2 our community. The schools not only provided excellent instruction, but they also helped model and reinforce the values we want for our kids: being part of and contributing to something bigger than yourself, a community that appreciates and supports everyone and is also founded on principles of excellence, rigor and service. Do renovated buildings provide

that framework? Not exactly. But investing in our historic structures helps to root our children in the rich traditions that underpin that community that we so value. The buildings reinforce a sense of place that is vital to a sense of community. To us, the sense of community in Oakwood is priceless. We experience it every day on our evening walks as friends wave or stop to chat. And, as parents of

Oakwood alumni, we know the role the schools have played in knitting us all together. For us, the collective benefit is just as important as the excellent educations our young citizens realize. A strong society thrives on principles of both personal interest and public good. The Oakwood Schools deliver in both respects. Madeline Iseli and Robb Drumheller

u Bargain from page 2 schools have enrollments similar to Oakwood, but at a price tag often approaching $10,000 a year per student. Suburban school districts like Kettering, Beavercreek, and Centerville, provide a quali-

ty education, but with graduating classes that often exceed the total student population at OHS. Here in Oakwood, our kids get the best of both worlds; all the academic opportunities found in larger school districts, but in a small

school setting that encourages participation and gives opportunities for our students to step up and become leaders. Please join me in voting “Yes” for Oakwood Schools on May 7. Dan Flaute

u Levy from page 3 did. We were under the impression that because our property values have increased, the schools must be getting more money. Unfortunately, due to state law (House Bill 920), this is just not true. In order to get more fund-

ing, Oakwood needs to approve new levies. We also were under the impression that the school district receives a portion of the Oakwood City Income Tax. However, city taxes only support city services, not the schools. Will quality education continue

in Oakwood if this levy fails? It’s certainly possible. But we are not willing to leave our children’s educational experience to chance. It’s our turn to support Oakwood schools and we urge you to do the same. Nilesh and Jamie Mhaskar

u Enough from page 3 already high taxes are raised into the exorbitant range? It goes without saying that teachers and individuals with students in the system would likely support this plan. But the question is, how about the rest of the citizens who are already paying very high taxes and now will be forced to bear this large, ever-increasing multiple-year tax increase? The schools are obviously a huge part of our community and the community lives and dies by the schools. Are the elected officials making decisions based on what is the best for all citizens in the long run? If I remember correctly, back around 2004, Oakwood turned down a multi-unit apartment building and instead built a gazebo. If the corner had the proposed apartments instead of flowers and a gazebo, what amount of revenue would those residents have been contributing to our schools over the

past 15 years? How about our business district? How many attempts and innovative ideas have been presented to increase business, only to be voted down by council? So, no increases in parking, no cutting-edge business or restaurants that could be contributing to our tax base. Our elected officials should be doing everything possible to make Oakwood a thriving business district, and thereby increase the tax revenue to our schools. Are the individuals on the school board basing their plan on what is dreamed of, wished or hoped for, or what is really needed? What is best for the current school participants and stakeholders or best for our whole community? Is raising taxes really the only path available? Is forcing people to move out of the area and making it harder for new people to even consider moving here the best decision? Private sector schools in the area conduct capital fundraisers that run for years to

pay for new buildings. Incentive payments for teachers and administrators to get annual physicals? (And we just learned that the Ohio Purchasing Council is already paying to encourage district employees to get physicals). A six-figure deficit in cafeteria spending that has been going on for several years despite state auditors prompting it to be resolved. I submit that a lot of work needs to be done to clean up the current wasteful financial mess, all district employees man up and get physicals all by themselves, some consideration be given to cutting unnecessary, wasteful budget items, alumni and others be approached for a building fund and a lot more thought and solutions should be considered before arrogantly turning to taxpayers as if entitled, and assuming we will yet again happily open our wallets and foot such a huge bill. Name withheld upon request.

u Homage from page 3 trying to preserve the fair name of our city. I ended up telling him that the sidewalk had been done this way on purpose—that our new sidewalks, with their alternating squares of dark and light gray, were in fact an homage to the twentieth-century Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. He is famous for canvases filled with squares of varying sizes, all painted in primary colors.

The National Museum in Belgrade, Serbia, may have his famous 2-by2 foot Composition with Red Blue and Yellow. We in Oakwood have a miles-long Composition with Two Shades of Gray. I don’t think I convinced my friend, but in telling the story, I succeeded in convincing myself. Now as I walk through Oakwood, instead of getting mad about our sidewalks, I can feel a rush of aes-

thetic appreciation. And on one of my “art walks,” inspiration struck: if we can do this with our sidewalks, just think of what would be possible with the blank canvas that is our streets! Maybe by deferring maintenance, we could transform them into the asphalt equivalent of a Jackson Pollack painting, full of potholes and cracks? Just imagine! Phyllis Teane
