Oakwood jazz musician’s tribute to Lunar Landing survives in digital age

As the nation prepares to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing on July 20, Oakwood is recalling its own lyrical connection to the story. It comes in the form of “Let’s Sing a Song About Armstrong,” a musical tribute to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, penned by former Oakwood musician Marion McKay, a one-time big band leader from the 1920s and ’30s. McKay’s tribute, written shortly after Armstrong’s historic first steps on the lunar surface in 1969, was pressed as a 45-rpm record and published as sheet music, both of which are preserved in the collections at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Armstrong’s hometown of Wapakoneta, Ohio, and at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at nearby WrightPatterson Air Force Base. Born in Wilmington in 1898,

McKay traveled the country with his jazz orchestra before settling down in Oakwood in the 1960s, says Kathy McGuire, McKay’s granddaughter. The self-described family historian preserves McKay’s musical legacy, along with an archive of sheet music, publicity photos, and recordings in her Oakwood home. She says McKay prided himself on being “an Ohio boy” – a claim he proudly shared with contemporaries Orville and Wilbur Wright and, a generation later, astronaut Neil Armstrong. After completing high school in Wilmington, McKay went to Ohio State University to study agriculture, spending part of World War I in uniform on the OSU campus. But music was his true passion and in the musical heyday that was the Roaring Twenties, McKay formed his own orchestra, playing the upscale Biltmore Hotel in Dayton

as one of his regular venues when not on the road performing. McKay appears to have had a knack for promoting the orchestra that carried his name. He talked Firestone Tires into sponsoring the band on a cross-country trek to perform in California, then once in the Golden State promptly booked his band to appear in a feature film – the 1929 comedy Synthetic Sin, an early “talkie” starring Colleen Moore - and performed at the Plantation Café, a lavish Culver City nightclub owned by silent film star Fatty Arbuckle that was decorated by the head of the MGM Studio art department. “He met a number of famous people,” McGuire says of her grandfather. “Unless you are a music historian, you probably wouldn’t recognize the significance of most of the people he rubbed elbows with. But every once in awhile I run into some-

Oakwood Schools Foundation names three new Board members

Three Oakwood residents will be lending their knowledge and expertise to the Oakwood Schools Foundation as Kevin Jones, Yusaku Kawai and Linda Woods take their posts as the newest elected members of the OSF Board of Trustees. Jones is an Oakwood native who graduated from Oakwood High School in 1982. He attended Ohio State University, earning a bachelor of science degree in business, majoring in insurance and risk management. In 1986, he began his career with his father at the Robert K. Jones Insurance Agency, and became a partner of the company in 1997. Jones has served as president of the Kettering

Moraine Oakwood Chamber of Commerce and has been a member of the Varsity D Club Board of Directors for the University of Dayton. When not working, he enjoys fishing, summer vacations in Northern Michigan and watching Dayton Flyers basketball and the Cincinnati Reds. Kawai, a 2000 OHS graduate, moved around a bit growing up but considers Oakwood his hometown. He says he is grateful for the quality education he received at Oakwood Junior High and Oakwood High School. Following high school graduation, he attended DePauw University, receiving a bachelor of art’s degree with a

Oakwood High School Speech, Debate students compete at National Tournament

Members of the Oakwood High School Speech and Debate team joined 7,000 of their peers from across the country and six foreign countries to participate in the National Speech and Debate Tournament held in Dallas, Texas, the week of June 17. This year was the 63rd appearance at Nationals for members of the OHS team. Graduating senior Cameron Hendrix competed at Nationals in International Extemporaneous Speaking, breaking into the top 60 competitors out of more than 250 entries. Earlier this year, Hendrix placed second in the state competition in this event. Also representing OHS at Nationals, graduating senior Audrey Owens who earned a spot to compete on the Western Ohio World Schools Debate Team. Throughout this season, Owens, an OHS team captain, competed in Lincoln

Douglas Debate. OHS social studies teacher and speech and debate coach Matt Deters and fellow coach Ashley Deters accompanied the students on the trip. “Working with Cameron and Audrey has been a privilege. These graduating seniors have been outstanding competitors and leaders throughout the season and will be sorely missed,” Matt Deters said. Tait Hamiel and Steve Stanley, who were instrumental in the success of helping these students qualify to Nationals, also serve as volunteer assistant coaches for OHS. “We want to extend a sincere thanks to all who support the OHS speech and debate program, especially our administration, our Board and the Oakwood Arts Bridge,” Matt Deters said. Twenty-six OHS students participated in the State Speech and Debate tournament held in March.

City launches redesigned, user-friendly website

The city of Oakwood launched a new and improved website on Friday, June 21. The new website can be accessed by visiting www. oakwoodohio.gov. The new user-friendly design greatly simplifies the process of navigating the city of Oakwood’s website. Officials say the new website has a “sharp new look and feel and creates a better user experience

for both desktop and mobile users.” “We are very pleased with how the new website will make it easier for Oakwood residents and others to access services, find information and engage with city officials,” said Oakwood Mayor Bill Duncan. The new website includes a mobile-friendly interface that adapts to all devices (phones, tablets, laptops, desktops). Additional

key features include type-ahead search, easy access to frequently asked questions, bill paying and issue reporting. “The new site provides a better city government experience for residents, businesses and visitors,” said Oakwood City Manager Norbert Klopsch. “We are very excited to launch the new website for the benefit of the community.”

’Round Town Rain, Rain . . .

By Gary Mitchner You know the rest especially since it has become this summer’s mantra. No water aerobics this past week, delays during the swim meets, and a rainy Opera Guild Garden Party. The Events Team from the Peace Museum planned our “Cool Soups for a Hot Cause” fundraiser for September, on Friday the 13th, so we definitely need you to mark your calendars since we may have bad luck if you are superstitious. We met at Joan Franks’ house and, in

addition to the planning, we had lots of healthy laughter. Then the next day we sat on the porch, waiting out the thunder and lightning before the swim meet could take place. Becky and Colleen Yerman-Gallagher were there with their kids, Sylvia and Jack. Much of this week was devoted to PGA (Performance Gymnastics Academy), UD Rec-Kids (especially the cardboard box boat races in the UD Rec pool), and the Gardner pool at the Oakwood

Community Center. On Thursday I met the Wilson men - father Jeremy and twin sons, Luke and Reece (seniors at Oakwood High School) while volunteering at Miami Valley Hospital. Then on Friday my book club ABC (Art Book Club) met at Brenda Stone’s to discuss Chasing Portraits by Elizabeth Rynecki and Mary Gabriel’s Ninth Street Women. I then met Suzanne Crippens at the Woodbourne Library to discuss marketing for the Opera Guild. Finally, Sunday came and it was my 73rd birthday; my family celebrated with a backyard brunch and cake since everyone was busy helping with tornado victims, recovering from surgery, and a birthday “high tea” with Mike and Rosy.

All-female Bluegrass band to perform, instrument “petting zoo” featured at Wright Library June 29 Dive into bluegrass music with Lafferty Pike at Wright Memorial Public Library at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 29. The all-female bluegrass band will present a fun half-hour performance of energetic Bluegrass songs featuring fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass. Between songs, the band members will talk briefly about each instrument’s cul-

tural background, what makes it unique, and how it’s played. After the show, children in the audience will get a chance to try out student-sized instruments. The sisters who make up the band got their start in 2013 when a neighbor gave them a banjo. The gift harkened back to their roots, when their grandmother dreamed of going to Nashville as a singer but

moved instead to Dayton for work during World War II. The band’s name honors a “winding country road blazed seven generations ago by their pioneering Lafferty grandfather” in Harrison County, Ky. Lafferty Pike describes their Bluegrass as “hard-driving but with a lighter hand on the reins.” The show is free and open to the public.

July Fourth Fireworks aren’t so pet friendly The Fourth of July is one of the most stressful and potentially dangerous times of the year for pets. While you and your family, friends, and neighbors are celebrating the holiday with fireworks, pets are finding the festive activities anything but celebratory. Many pet parents assume that if their pet is not afraid of thunder

or other loud noises, they will not be bothered by fireworks. This is not necessarily true. Even pets who normally are not bothered by thunder and other loud noises are often frightened and panicked by the cumulative effects of the fireworks, the excited voices outside, and being left alone inside the house. If pets are left outside and

unattended, the noise often drives them to run away. To make the Fourth safer for your pet, do not take your pet to fireworks displays, don’t leave a pet alone in the car during fireworks, keep pets home in a comfortable and quiet area with the shades drawn, never leave pets outside unattended, and make sure your pet is wearing an ID tag.

u Jazz from page 1 especially Cincinnati.” In later years McKay recounted meeting the famed aviator Will Rogers while performing in Iowa, and an encounter with the Mexican rebel leader Pancho Villa, who McGuire says attended one of her grandfather’s performances. “He talked about that a lot,” she recalls. “He met him, at least that’s what he said. He was an entertainer, so the story might have gotten a little gilded around the edges.” A posed publicity photograph that survives from the era

shows McKay and his orchestra in California attired in dapper, matching suits. “He didn’t have a booking agent, so he did all of the marketing himself,” McGuire remembers. Known as a banjo player in addition to being a bandleader, McKay based his orchestra out of the Dayton area when not on the road. The geography was fortuitous as Gennett Records, one of the largest record producers in the age of the Victrola, was headquartered in nearby Richmond, Indiana, and the record company

McKay and his orchestra appeared in a feature film while in California, and released 78-rpm records

soon added McKay and his orchestra to their list of artists – which included such well-known names as Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Martin, Gene Autry and Hoagy Carmichael. McKay’s rendition of the jazz hit “Doo Wacka Doo,” recorded for Gennett records in December 1924, can still be heard on YouTube, and McGuire recently uploaded McKay’s recording of “Let’s Sing a Song About Armstrong” to YouTube for the upcoming 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing. As musical styles changed in the years leading up to World War II, McKay returned to Dayton, taking a job at National Cash Register. But he never lost his love of music, and passed the gift on to the three children he and his wife Esther raised in Oakwood – daughter Marilyn, who sang and played piano, and sons Bob, an arranger and organist, and John, a bass player who toured Europe with a Dayton band after graduating from high school. “He wrote songs all his life,” McGuire says of McKay. “He’d be sitting in a restaurant, eating dinner and scribbling lyrics on a placemat. And there was always music when we went to grandma and grandpa’s home.” Even in his seventies, McKay felt inspired to set Armstrong’s accomplishment to music “because it was a really big historical event done by a ‘hometown boy,’” McGuire recalls. McKay’s son Bob helped arrange the song, and shares a

credit on the sheet music with his father. McGuire isn’t certain if Armstrong ever heard the tune, but she says her grandfather did receive a letter from the astronaut’s son thanking him for writing the song. Marion McKay passed away in 1992 at the age of 94. Neil Armstrong died in Cincinnati 20 years later at the age of 82. To hear McKay’s tribute to Armstrong online, visit https:// youtu.be/5XMRCKB-4WE

RTA Flyer hours extended to provide free bus transportation to July 3 Lights in Flight fireworks

For this year’s Lights in Flight Festival, the Greater Dayton RTA is extending the hours of The Flyer service to allow fireworks revelers to use the free bus route as a transportation option to and from the holiday festival in downtown Dayton on Wednesday, July 3. The Flyer will operate from 6 a.m. to midnight on Wednesday, July 3. Because of street closures, The Flyer will run on a special detour route beginning at 9 a.m. that morning. The Flyer is a great

option for people and families coming to downtown Dayton for the annual Lights in Flight festival to park away from the crowds and ride the bus to the action of the event. After the fireworks end, several RTA Flyer buses will be waiting for passengers northbound on Patterson Avenue, between Second and Third streets, limiting wait times. Because of street closures around the Downtown Dayton area for the City of Dayton’s Lights in Flight festival and fireworks, sev-

eral RTA routes will go on detours on July 3 beginning at 6 a.m. The July downtown Dayton detour for The Flyer is as follows: • The Northbound Flyer will turn from Main Street, right onto First Street, right onto Patterson, right onto Second and back to regular southbound routing on Main Street. Riders should note Thursday, July 4, all RTA buses will be on a Sunday service schedule due to the holiday. Regular bus times will resume Friday, July 5. To view Sunday service schedules for RTA routes, visit www. iriderta.org.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer slightly and flow freely when the skillet is tilted, add the cherry tomatoes. Leave the tomatoes undisturbed until they start to blister, 1 to 2 minutes. Then, stir them gently, season lightly with salt and pepper, and leave about 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat. In a blender, combine 1 cup of the vegetable stock with the tomatoes, the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and the roasted garlic. Blend until pureed.

It’s easy to customize your pasta dish with any number of vegetables available in the grocery store or farmers’ market.

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, and add the remaining vegetable stock, a small or large pinch of red pepper flakes to taste, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. While the sauce reduces, in separate batches in the saucepan of salted boiling water, boil each of the vegetables for 1 minute in the saucepan. As each vegetable is done, remove it with a wire skimmer, rinse under cold running water until cool, drain well, and transfer to a bowl. Add all the vegetables to the sauce, and stir well to heat them

through. Keep warm. As soon as the large pot of water comes to a boil, salt the water. Add the pasta, and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain the pasta and, while it’s still slightly dripping, stir it into the sauce until well coated. Remove the pan from the heat and, if you like, stir in the Parmesan. To serve, divide the pasta and vegetables among four large warmed serving plates or pasta bowls. Garnish each serving with the remaining shredded basil and, if desired, some Parmesan. Serve immediately.

By Wolfgang Puck Tribune Content Agency I love watching the seasons change through the produce I see in the farmers’ market. Those market stall offerings are among my primary inspirations as a chef. You sometimes see the following recipe for pasta with fresh vegetables referred to as “pasta primavera,” literally springtime pasta. But that’s really a catchall for any combination of pasta and fresh vegetables. You should be able to find all of the main ingredients in the market right now. And you can certainly substitute other great vegetables of the season. Also included is a little pureed See Pasta on page 9 u

Triple Win

Garden

Do you have a border or large area to fill? We’ve been looking for a shrub that’s lush and hardy with attractive flowers and found the Oakleaf Hydrangea on evening walks through beautiful Oakwood – only recently did we truly appreciate its dramatic blooms and rich green foliage. The Oakleaf Hydrangea is low maintenance and will thrive in almost any condition so perfect for otherwise busy home owners. Deciduous, it loses its leaves in fall and prefers partial sun but still does well if planted in full sun. There are many varieties and colors of Hydrangea, making it easy to complement the rest of your landscape – we love the crisp white Oakleaf double bloom. Search different varieties to see if there’s one that works best for you!

Dine

Getting in the recommended serving of vegetables is challenging for adults, let alone kids, but there is a summer soup, served cool, that is refreshing, nutritious and enjoyed by our entire extended family:

Triple Win Gazpacho

6 ripe tomatoes peeled and chopped, or 3 cans of diced tomatoes 2 cups tomato juice 1 sweet onion, finely chopped 2 English cucumbers, peeled, seeded, chopped 1 sweet red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

u Pasta from page 8 roasted garlic, which you can buy in small jars now in the condiments section of many well-stocked markets. Otherwise, you can easily make it at home. Just lightly coat a whole unpeeled garlic head with some olive oil, place in a small baking dish, and roast in a 375 F oven until very tender when carefully and gently squeezed while wearing an oven glove, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool at room temperature, and then cut the head crosswise in half with a serrated knife and squeeze out the pulp or scoop it out with a knife tip or tiny teaspoon. Store in a covered container and use within three to four days.

Garden Dine Love! 3 stalks celery, finely chopped 1-2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme 2 handfuls of chopped fresh basil 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Put all ingredients in large stock pot, stir well and place into the refrigerator. Chill 2-3 hours, allowing all the flavors to combine. Stir before plating this delicious masterpiece! Why triple win? There’s no cooking involved, cleanup is minimal and this healthy dish is a palate pleaser for all ages!

peers have them. Still, it may be important to put off the inevitable, if even for just a little while. In a recent exchange of views with Oakwood parents, one expressed frustration that sixthgrade girls, on a play date she had arranged for her daughter, spent most of the time on their cell phones. And, not every girl had a phone so one was left out while the others unintentionally ignored her… and each other. A group we support is Wait Until 8th. The Wait Until 8th pledge empowers parents to rally together to delay giving

Love

We’ve broached the subject before and there’s no one right answer for this important, recurring, topic… Smart phones – at what age should children get their first? Nowadays, kids face peer pressure (and parents face kid pressure!) to join the online world. But there are risks. Social and physical playtime may be impacted; imagination may be stunted; communication skills hindered; the possibility for online bullying, sexting, and other unhealthy behaviors are introduced. One school of thought is to wait as long as you can before providing young developing brains a smart phone. However, not all pediatricians agree and it can be hard to wait when some

children a smartphone until at least 8th grade. By banding together, this will decrease the pressure felt by kids and parents alike over the kids having a smartphone. In the meantime, they acknowledge the benefits of immediate communication so basic phones/watches are supported. Before enabling children with the latest technology, it’s worth considering that today’s smartphones are more powerful than the NASA computers which sent astronauts to the moon…

Human Race Theatre takes a stap at Lizzie, Undercroft Players offer Enchanted April

“Forty Whacks” has become a regular part of our lexicon. We may not know who Lizzie Borden actually was, but we know that it takes forty axe whacks to kill a mother and, for dad, forty one! The American saga has been seen in movies, plays and even a ballet. Now, it is a fully-fleshed rock opera. I am the first to admit that of the many genre of rock music, none really appeal to me. Some, in fact, cause me near repulsion. I describe them, in my admitted ignorance, as “music by haircut.” Friends whom I like very much are real devotees. I know several “Dead Heads” and “Phish Heads.” They are avid followers of the Grateful Dead and the Phish. They

travel, at great expense, for concert after concert, or rather experience after experience, to prove themselves worthy of the appellations. When the Human Race, our fine professional theatre company, put Lizzie on its schedule, I had no qualms. Kevin Moore is a theater genius with marvelous taste. I was, however, warned that it was loud, very loud. In preparation, I practiced turning my hearing-aids to lowest volume or even removing them. The results: Yes, it was loud and none of the songs had me humming on leaving the theater. The realization, from my first row seat at the Loft Theatre, was a fun and very exciting piece of real entertainment. Volume must be mentioned but not as a caveat. The set was another of Ray Zupp’s imaginative masterworks. Portals, doors, platforms and ghoulish paintings of the victims - mom and dad - greeted the audience. The paintings were all we ever saw of the hapless results of patricide. My

favorite patricidal opus is Aeschylus trilogy, The House of Atreus. Much more blood, many more than forty whacks but no loud rock music. The orchestra, elevated at the back of the stage, did contain an element of hope for me as a hard rock reviler. There was a cello whose sounds were prominent in the score – a respite in rock’s electronic invasion. The cast consisted four young women costumed in an amazing combination of slight hints of 19th century British formality and the tatters of the cavorting rock players. They projected energy and talent, telling their story as murderous Lizzie, her older sister, her next-door friend and the family cook/maid. They revealed their sexually abusive father, their scheming and money-grubbing step mother, lesbian relationships, and murderous thoughts and plans. In fact, the entire first act was involved in conceiving the murder, planning for the murder and diverting the truth of the murder, to render Lizzie not guilty. The second act was about evidence changing and hiding the artifacts of the crime, the conscious pangs of the neighbor and Lizzie’s

not guilty triumph. This was done in songs and actions that were convincing stagecraft. The director, WSU’s Jamie Cordes, has played many parts and he brought his lovable monster Sweeney Todd’s experience to guide Lizzie, et al. The cast - Natalie Bird as sister Emma, Leslie Goddard, complicit servant, Michaella Waickman, complicit neighbor, and remarkable Deanna Giulietti as the murderer you love to love. Amazing acting talents and great singers, I loved them all. I can now hold my head up proudly as a rock-opera survivor, an enthusiastic survivor. I could and would see it again. hhh Theater is full of wonderful surprises. The latest is another experience with Teresa Connair’s Undercroft Players. This company is remarkable because of its small size, its purity to theater arts and its ambitious devotion to produce and present theater. Almost hidden in the undercroft basement of First Lutheran Church, we attended Saturday evening’s performance. This was Matthew Barber’s Enchanted April - set in the

1920s in England and then in Italy, a true place of enchantment. We had seen the film, impressed by the beautiful scenes of Italy, but not the story. Alice and I were wary of how this would play on the small, very small, stage. The result, however, was a superb play with characters and story vividly crafted. The magic of live theater! The cast, many with Dayton Theatre Guild credentials, was marvelous. They had to create dowdy, bored and disappointed women escaping by taking a dream month in Italy and becoming truly enchanted. The play outstripped the film in every dimension. The audience reaction emphasized its success. Led by Ellen Ballerene and Jill Evans, the cast sparkled and presented their personae and enchantment. Rick Flynn, John Spitler, Lauren Boyd, Matthew W. Smith Joyce Genari and Patti King were all enchanting. Patti had to deliver her part in quickly-learned Italian. Matthew and Lauren responded, also in Italian. The play was a romp. We were so glad to have another example of Teresa Connair’s cleverness and devotion.

Napoleon Dynamite returns to the Big Screen as Victoria Theatre Kicks off Cool Film series By Billy Behman On Friday July 12, as a part of the summer season Cool Films Series, Napoleon Dynamite returns to the Big Screen at Dayton’s Victoria Theatre. A Q-and-A session with lead actor Jon Heder will follow immediately after the show. Also appearing at the July 12 event will be fellow cast members Efren Ramirez and Jon Gries. The film has an interesting history, so I advise sticking around for the discussion. Napoleon Dynamite was originally a class project that Heder made. When it was later turned into a film, Heder was paid only $1,000 for his role. The film cost $400,000 to make and took about three weeks to shoot. After a screening at Sundance it was bought for $4 million and made $46 million at the box office. When Napoleon Dynamite first came out in 2004 I was in the fourth grade and it was a hit with my friends. Watching the film again 10 years later I can confirm it’s still a hit, but for new reasons.

The film is set in the small town of Preston, Idaho. The setting almost always has a noticeable plainness to it. Napoleon lives with his brother in his grandmother’s house, and it looks like someone’s grandmother’s house. It has outdated couches and curtains and the food that Napoleon pulls out of the fridge always looks unappetizing. Almost nothing in the movie is physically beautiful. However, at the same time, it is not depressing. It is simply plain. Even the directing plays a role in creating this atmosphere as it cuts from one scene to another abruptly and starts each scene by showing the whole dull image right there as if it was a painting of “plainness” being presented to the audience. Living in the center of this world that the film creates is the main character, Napoleon, who is also noticeably plain. He and his friend Pedro are constantly asking themselves what they’re good at, implying that the answer is nothing. The movie takes a twist when Pedro decides to run for president of the school against a girl

named Summer. Summer is the only thing in the movie that breaks from the film’s modest setting as she is pretty and lives in an extraordinary home. Napoleon and Pedro, who see themselves as ordinary, must prove otherwise in order to overcome Summer who overshadows them with her outstanding appearance and lifestyle. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 12. Tickets for the show, which is rated PG, are $40, with VIP tickets costing $100. Tickets are available at the Box Office, at TicketCenterStage.com, or by calling 888-228-3630. Victoria’s Cool Films Series continues that same weekend with an Alfred Hitchcock Marathon beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday, July 14, featuring four of the director’s classic films – Suspicion (1941), Dial M For Murder (1954), Strangers On A Train (1951), and North By Northwest (1959).

Oakwood’s Kyle Lethander earns Eagle rank

Oakwood Boy Scout Kyle Lethander was recently awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at a ceremony at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Lethander, 17, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 193 and the son of Andrew and Sarah Lethander. Lethander began his trail to Eagle in the fall of 2008 with Cub Scout Pack 151 at Oakwood United Methodist Church as a Tiger Cub. As a Cub Scout, he participated in rocket shoots, Pinewood Derby races, Cub Klondike races, Raingutter Regattas, summer day camps, weekend campouts, and the Scouting for Food service projects. In February 2013, Lethander was awarded the Arrow of Light, the highest award of Cub Scouting, and crossed over to Boy Scouts, joining Troop 193. As a Boy Scout, Lethander earned 29 merit badges. He held a number of leadership positions in Troop 193, including

Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Lethander attended summer camps at Camp Chief Logan and Camp Friedlander. Other Scouting highlights for Lethander include participating in high adventure trips to the Florida Sea Base, Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, and Red River Gorge in Kentucky,

and backpacking trips on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia and at Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina. For his Eagle project, Lethander coordinated painting the summer kitchen at the Oakwood Historical Society. With support from Linda Pearson and Mark Risley of OHS, he led a team of Scouts, friends and adults to complete the project. With many fond childhood memories in the city of Oakwood, Kyle chose the project to give back to the community. Lethander is an Oakwood High School senior and has been involved in cross country, track, marching band, wind ensemble, Math Club, and National Honor Society, as well as volunteering at his church. Now he celebrates having reached the rank of Eagle Scout, an accomplishment achieved by only 4 percent of all boys involved in Scouting.

SICSA Pet Adoption Center of Kettering has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to support its Satellite Cat Adoption Program. The organization said the Petco Foundation investment will help to increase the number of cats available for adoption by addressing space and access limitations which currently exist in a shelter environment; specifically, by choosing settings which are neighborhood-focused and expand adoption access to all types of families looking to add a cat to their home. “SICSA is proud to be a community leader in animal welfare. However we couldn’t do what we do without the help of our adopters, volunteers, donors and our community supporters like the Petco Foundation who is focused

on investing wisely in its animal welfare partners. Thanks to the Petco Foundation’s generous support, SICSA will be able continue providing our services which have a lifesaving impact in our community. ” said Nora Vondrell, SICSA president and CEO. SICSA Pet Adoption Center is a nonprofit organization serving the Greater Miami Valley. Since 1974, SICSA Pet Adoption Center has focused on promoting the welfare and adoption of companion animals, and nurturing the loving, lifelong relationships between animals and people. In 2018 alone, SICSA provided nearly 50,000 days of housing, just over 99,900 bowls of food, 7553 medical exams & procedures, provided 590 hours of youth programing focused on humane education while facilitat-

ing 1,857 pet adoptions which was a 15% over previous years! SICSA will receive the grant at 1 p.m. on June 26, 2019 at the Petco location at 300 E. Stroop Road, in the Town & Country Shopping Center. SICSA was started as an alternative to the traditional animal welfare system with a mission of improving the lives of stray animals and promoting adoption. The organization runs an Animal Adoption Center in Kettering at 2600 Wilmington Pike, which is open seven days a week to the public for those interested in bringing a companion animal into their home. For more information about SICSA, visit their website at www. SICSA.org or call the Adoption Center at 294-6505.
