Parent: Teachers get ‘free babysitting’ during district training as part of student service hour requirements
Oakwood teachers are among the highest paid public educators in the state, but one school mom says local teachers are getting a perk any parent would envy – free babysitting. Mayumi Hall took her concerns to the Oakwood Board of Education on Monday, telling the school board that some district faculty are provided with no-cost babysitting as they attend district training sessions, courtesy of National Junior Honor Society students striving to meet their community service requirements. Hall said she felt it was inappropriate for teachers to receive “free babysitting” as an option for NJHS students to meet service commitments at Oakwood Junior High
School. “The teachers should not be the primary beneficiaries of the NJHS service hours,” Hall told the school board. She suggested teachers be required to pay a fee for what she characterized as babysitting services, with that money ultimately donated to a charity. The school board did not respond to Hall’s complaint at Monday night’s meeting, but OJHS Principal Tim Badenhop on Tuesday said he became aware of her concern last fall and investigated the matter. “Students in National Junior Honor Society are required...to participate in a variety of service opportunities throughout the year,” Badenhop said, noting that student service projects range from orga-
nizing a bake sale to raise funds for Brigid’s Path, to serving and packing meals at The House of Bread and Saint Vincent de Paul and volunteering at the Out of the Darkness and Care Walks. “Most students are able to fulfill their service requirements through these activities,” Badenhop added. “Due to additional family obligations and other commitments, a few students were in need of an opportunity that could occur during typical school hours while having supervision.” Badenhop indicated that NJHS students do watch the younger children of faculty and staff as they attend the district’s half-day See Service on page 8 u

’Round Town From Cherry Pie to Mother’s Day Brunch
By Gary Mitchner Frequently, when I write this column, I forget to mention people whom I have encountered during the week. Now I remember two such people: Kim and Greg Robinson whom I saw and talked with at Keeneland, and Michelle Abernathy (I hope I spelled her name correctly), an Oakwood artist, who came to my garage sale. I am sure that there are others; forgive me if I have missed your name. This week, however, I could not forget two of my favorite poets: Wallace Stevens and Richard Wilbur, whom I read on the Reading Radio. Then it was off to the Friendship Board meeting; Joan Lambert, a “snow bird,” returned from Port Charlotte and picked me up for dinner at Christopher’s before the board meeting. The next day was reserved for The 25th Annual Cherry Pie Concert (two of my granddaughters played so I could not miss it) where I heard two amazing cellists: Ethan Dalrymple and Eric Powers. Bravo! Jordan Millard also did a great job with all of the orchestras, especially the seniors: Ben Martin, Nicole Hess, Bridget Vaughn, Anna Biesecker-Mast, Madeline Groff, Sara Pierce, Valerie Gurevich, Elaine Griffin, Leo Deer, Paige Heyl, Carolyn Duvic, Alex Thorpe, Rachel Theilen, Lydia
(another granddaughter was there) but I had to miss it. Another big event this week was the Harman Grand Art Affair. So many people there to see the outstanding art that their children had produced for the art teachers. Too many Ethan Dalrymple and Eric Powers people to mention so let’s just say thanks to all those parents and friends (especially those older students who returned). Yet I must make special mention of my granddaughter Melisse’s favorite teacher: Mr. Tim Fleck, who has truly influenced her. At the Annual Brunch Meeting of the FriendHarman Art ship Force, Monica Harris, Welcome Dayton Coordinator, gave us a meaningful overview of all the immigrants in Dayton. Aaron Harris, her husband, who also attended was a significant help to her presentation.

Long-time local historian and the author of more than 30 books, Curt Dalton is drawing the curtain on his publishing career, ending his writing career with his final tome, entitled On This Date in Dayton’s History, a day-by-day guide to the often quirky underside of the city’s past. Dalton, who works as visual resources manager supervising the digitization of the more than 1.5 million photographs, film and glass plate negatives in the Dayton History collection, began writing about local history more than two decades ago. Curiously, the man who has made a second career out of unearthing Dayton’s past, said he hated history classes in high school. “My history teacher would be spinning in his grave,” Dalton, 59, said with a chuckle. “I’ve always had a problem with dates and names.” He said his interest in history was born only after he met his wife. I met, Carol, and began researching her family’s genealogy. “Her last name was Wessalosky, so I started doing research and discovered her family had been in the city since 1860,” he added. “I started seeing all of these wonderful stories and thought ‘I’ve got to go out there and read about Dayton.’” But he found little on local bookshelves to satisfy his curiosity. “Hardly anything had been written on Dayton history since 1930, and most were from 1896 when they had the centennial,” he recalled. That opened the door to Dalton’s career in local history, and he has been a history
Curt Dalton
buff ever since. Over the past 25 years he reckons he has written upwards of 30 books, ranging from cookbooks to children’s books. “There’s about 25 that I’m really proud of, that I think I did a good job on and it’s all my own research,” Dalton said looking back on his publishing career. He feels his day-by-day compendium of the Gem City is an appropriate capstone to his years of research. “I tell people it took 25 years to write,” Dalton adds with a smile, “because that’s how long I’ve been researching all these stories.” Despite his decades of borrowing into the lesser-known nooks and crannies of Dayton history, Dalton said his final book was the most difficult of any work he authored. “The toughest part about the book was there were four dozen dates where I had absolutely nothing at all, and that took me three years to complete those 40 or 50 stories,” he explained. For other dates – July 4, for instance – he
had an overabundance of stories, meaning he had to select the most interesting or colorful from among the bunch. And Dalton didn’t always select the most obvious, for various reasons. “They’re always significant, but some are a bit obscure,” he conceded. “If you’re looking for the date that Wright Brothers flew it’s not in there because it didn’t happen in Dayton, they were down at Kitty Hawk. There were some dates where I had dozens of stories, so I decided to pick whatever story I liked the best, and I hope the people agree with me. On June 27, for example, I could’ve chosen between the first male child born in Dayton or Consul the Cigar Smoking Monkey, and I chose the monkey. He was a movie star, he rode a bicycle and he visited NCR to pound on a cash register to show that even a monkey could operate it. It was a promotional stunt, but that’s the kind of choices I made.” Keeping the serious, along with sometimes lighthearted, glimpses into the city’s past alive has been a rewarding pastime for the man who hated high school history. Over the years he has authored a range of local histories, documenting the Gem City’s industrial, military and sometimes obscure, including Dayton Through Time; Dayton, part of the Postcard History Series published by Arcadia Publishing; How Ohio Helped Invent the World: From the Airplane to the Yo-Yo; Miami Valley’s Marvelous Motor Cars; A Taste of Frigidaire; Keeping

He interviewed the Dayton WAVE codebreakers before they gained notoriety, documented everything from local drive-in movie history to the legacy of the Dayton Canoe Club. One of the unusual bits of history he found now adorns the cover of his latest and last book – a photograph featuring Franklin Delano Roosevelt walking on his own and unaided – before he was crippled by polio – with James Cox in Dayton during their 1920 presidential campaign. Roosevelt was Cox’s running mate in his failed White House bid against Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. FDR was crippled by polio a year after the campaign and confined to a wheelchair, a fact he kept largely hidden from the American public
through his own presidential campaigns and the remainder of his political life. “I want to find the cigar-smoking monkey,” Dalton smiled discussing his body of
work, which catalogs many often overlooked areas of civic life. “I wrote an entire book on the history of the VA Center. There are wonderful stories there.” As Dalton saw a lot of seldom-circulating Dayton history books aging and disappearing from library shelves he started a non-profit website,
Daytonhistorybooksonline, in October 2004 to preserve Dayton history online. “I went and got some of those old, dusty books, knowing that was happening, and I created an entire website of all the old booklets and books and articles,” he recalled. “I started that for educating children, and now a lot of adults are using the website for genealogy. Part of the other problem is that a lot of the old books never had an index in the back, so this has the most popular books online and it is all searchable and printable for free.” Now he’s shifting his own focus solely online, rather than print. Dalton features a Dayton history story on his Facebook page every day, which has attracted more than 33,000 followers. “So I’m reaching more people in one day than with all of the books I’ve done in 25 years,” he noted. But you needn’t worry about Curt Dalton keeping busy now that he’s hung up his writer’s cap. Of the estimated 1.5 million photographic in the Dayton History archives, Dalton and his volunteers have 1.4 million images still waiting to be digitized. “I’ve been there 19 years,” he said, “it will take another lifetime.” On This Date in Dayton’s History is on sale at Carillon Park Museum Store for $24.95.

Smith, Harman 6th-grade Field Day
The QSL card sent from Oakwood confirming a shortwave radio contact.
u Radio from page 1 analysis at Materiel Command headquarters at Wright-Patterson. He retired from the Air Force Reserve in the 1970s. Helmers remembers her father always had what she calls “a world view” and global perspective. Marrying into the family that owned Roseville Pottery, the couple honeymooned in Cuba, and after he retired from the service they completed a multi-month, round-the-world cruise on a Dutch ocean liner. One of the ports of call included a stop in Hong Kong, where Gardner, who had his suits made overseas, was
able to meet his long-time tailor. “He was always forward-thinking,” Helmers says of her father. Long before the advent of cell phones, Gardner had a long-distance radio installed in his car, which also sported his call letters on the license plate. Although the neighbors may have grumbled a bit about their TV reception, she says her father’s love of shortwave radio paid definite benefits over the years. Like the time he was involved in setting up communications to aid disaster relief in Mexico, or running a radio “phone patch” over the holidays
that allowed neighbors with loved ones in the military to talk to service men and women overseas at Christmastime. “Nowadays everybody texts or has a cell phone, but that really meant a lot back then,” she recalls. “Those people might not get to talk to loved ones for months on end. It was just a really nice thing he did for people.” While the radio antenna on Acorn Drive is long gone, and his call sign long silent, Gardner’s legacy lives on in the annual get-together of enthusiasts who still share his passion.
u Service from page 1 professional development days. “While some parents may believe this to be babysitting, this description would provide a very incomplete picture,” he said. “Spouses of staff members or other parents volunteer to provide supervision to our NJHS students,
but the NJHS students otherwise develop, design, and lead activities that include outdoor and indoor sports, board games, art projects, and more.” While such “service hours” may appear to be free babysitting for faculty attending district training, Badenhop insisted “the emphasis
truly is on how our students can learn to build connections with the next generation of Oakwood students in a structured and intentional environment.” District officials did not indicate that there are any plans to alter the policy or require faculty to pay a fee for the service.
On Friday, May 11, sixth-graders from Harman and Smith Elementary schools came together at the playground at Smith Elementary School for an afternoon of healthy competition. The events included a long run around the block, a 50-yard run across the field, soccer kick and throwing competitions, as well as

Wright Flyer takes part in San Antonio tricentennial
Dayton’s aviation heritage was on display in Texas as the Wright B Flyer took part in the San Antonio tricentennial celebration. The “Valentine Flyer,” a fullscale Wright Model B replica, was on display on the historic parade field at the U.S. Army’s Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio as part of
the tricentennial celebration. It was the Wright B Flyer’s second excursion to San Antonio. In March 2010, a dozen Wright B Flyer volunteers took two aircraft to San Antonio to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first solo military flight by Army Lt. (later Maj. Gen.) Benjamin
Foulois. Foulois taught himself to fly at Fort Sam Houston by corresponding with the Wright brothers. The 2010 activities included taxiing one flyer on the parade field while another flew overhead. Wright B Flyer is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization based at Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport.

Dayton Playhouse undertakes ambitious effort bringing children’s classic to stage
Imagine that you were on the play selection committee of a community theater. They wanted to end the season with a musical. Very few local theaters do musicals due to the “sticker shock” with budget-breaking potential. Hmmm. Twenty-four actors, many double-cast. Thirty musical numbers – the scenes - underwater with fish and crabs, above water with ships and birds. Costume changes – several for each role. An orchestra and kinetically changing scenery completed the package. Time span - 18th century dress and costumes for every manner of undersea creature. Hmmm! Again. How about doing one of the old standard Cole Porter numbers with four songs total. If you are the Dayton Playhouse you never give up and start picking out fish costume colors. This is a playhouse that knows no fear nor any limitations. When I read that the season ender was Walt Disney’s The Little Mermaid, directed by Matthew W.
Smith, I was even more daunted. The monumental Disney Studio elected to make their version an animated cartoon. I also thought that this kid’s tale would have limited appeal on stage. I was wrong on every count. We attended, taking our daughter with us. The results were wonderful theater, charming musical numbers, enthralling characters and a resounding success. How? Don’t ask me. The fearless staff of Dayton Playhouse finds a way. The opening scenes were mermaids and all manner of creatures down below. Above was a “Jolly Roger” ship complete with uniformed crew and a lusty love for the sea. Everyone was beautiful whether they swam or walked. The marine creatures used heel roller skates marvelously, gracefully gliding across the stage. And, each creature took on a definite personality. There was Triton, King of the Deep. His costume was very different – skin and incredible muscles as we imagine a Mr. Universe to be. The muscles, very real, belonged to Stephen Lakes. Steven sang with a voice that did
not match his physiognomy. He sang in a gentle and musical tenor. The first mermaid was Ariel, one of Triton’s seven daughters (very different from Wagner’s Walküre). Played and sung by beautiful Abby
Stoffel, she exhibited a longing for what life was like above the water. To match her longing for the curious creatures from above, ship’s captain Prince Eric had heard the magic of Ariel’s siren song. He vowed to find the beauty whose voice had captivated him. Handsome Garrett Young was too perfect not to find his love, and Abby was too beautiful not to be found and romantically conquered. The songs, the sheer beauty of the characters and their incredible costumes, were all that was needed to make this a “rollicking good musical.” King Triton revealed
that his youngest daughter, Ariel, was a bit troublesome. She missed singing practice regularly and was acting sort of “humanish.” He assigned her care to a well-dressed crustacean. William “Kip” Moore, well-remembered as a gangster boyfriend among nuns in Sister Act, took the job enthusiastically. He was conducting the Triton daughter’s choir. There we met the six piscatorial beauties - Molly Kuntz, Jessi Stark, Alexandra Haines, Kristyna Zaharek, Nicole Pacer and Emily Shafner. We also met a standup comedy seagull played by darling and well-feathered Samantha Creech. A genuine future superstar - eleven year old fifth grader and veteran of 25 plays, Chavin Medina, brightened up scenes in his flounder costume. I noticed that veteran Dayton actor Brad Bishop was a ship’s crew member. He was easily recognizable. His next appearance, in a mega-fat suit and an incredible mustache, was as Chef Louis, the executive fish chef. Scene after scene, song after song, led us, how well we all knew, toward the fateful kiss of Ariel,
now with shapely legs, and the dream-boat prince. There could be no musical without a villain, in this case a “Merwitch.” Angelé Price, a regular Dayton theater star, can really “sell a song.” She also emerged from fabulous scenery as the hateful sister of Triton trying to gum up the works. The show ended with everyone happy, especially the sold-out house with lots of kids and their mothers on a Mother’s Day outing. The cast, still in costume and still on a real high, assembled in the courtyard in front of the theater to accept hugs and plaudits from the audience. Another fact drawn from this experience. The Playhouse staff makes successes in spite of odds. I think that they should take over the ailing Cincinnati Reds and work their magic. Brian Sharp could be manager and Matthew W. Smith the batting coach. He is famous for his hits! hhh Turandot is coming! In fact, it is practically here as you read this. Tom Bankston has assembled a real all-star cast and no one should miss the “ice princess” being conquered by her love. Friday night at 8:00 and Sunday at 3:00. Don’t even think about missing this incredible blockbuster!
Dayton Opera closes season in grand fashion with Puccini’s blockbuster Turandot
On Friday, May 18, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 20, at 3 p.m. in the Mead Theatre of the Schuster Center, Dayton Opera, under the leadership of Artistic Director Thomas Bankston, will present Puccini’s Turandot, the fourth and final opera of the 201718 The Great Ones Season. This opera will be sung in Italian with English surtitles. Plunge into the dazzling, faraway universe of Puccini’s last and most luxuriant work, Turandot. It’s a world of palatial splendor, set in China’s Forbidden City in legendary old Peking. Along the way, you’ll encounter some of Puccini’s most vivid and unforgettable characters - passionate, single-minded Calaf; haunting, self-sacrificing Liu, who has long secretly loved him; aged Timur, Calaf’s dethroned father; and chilling Princess Turandot, whose regal allure has enticed uncounted hapless suitors to a swift and grisly decapitation. Puccini’s swan song is his grandest and most exotic opera, splashed against the spectacle of Imperial China. But despite the scenic splendor, it’s Puccini’s glorious melodies that will leave you breathless, including the passionately yearning “Nessun dorma” (Nobody sleeps), perhaps best known as Luciano Pavarotti’s signature aria. Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston has assembled
some of the finest vocalists, all who have graced the Dayton stage in the past, to bring Puccini’s masterpiece to life in the worldclass Schuster Center. Dayton Opera welcomes back soprano Kara Shay Thomson in the title role of this sweeping production. Only a few short months have passed since her gripping performance as Magda Sorel this past October in Dayton Opera’s The Consul. Prior to this 2017-2018 season, Thomson performed the title role of Dayton Opera’s production of Tosca to rave reviews in November 2013. Also returning to Dayton Opera is soprano Chloé Olivia Moore, who will sing the captivating role of Liu, the slave girl whose love for Calaf brings to the forefront the kind of love triangle that often injects the passion and the tragedy into any good opera. Moore returns to Dayton after making her Dayton Opera debut as Leila in the April 2015 production of Pearl Fishers and most recently having performed the lead role of Nedda in the tragic I Pagliacci in 2016.
Moore is known for her unique timbre and depth with unusual flexibility and speed. Just this past March, bass Harold Wilson delighted audiences with both his seriousness and his levity in the role of Basilio in The Barber of Seville. Praised as singing with “an impressive focus, carrying power and quiet charisma” by the New York Times, Wilson takes the stage for the fourth time with Dayton Opera, this time in the role of Timur, an old blind exiled king and the father of Calaf. Wilson has built an impressive résumé over the last 16 years, with performances spanning the globe and including roles in such magnificent opera houses as Deutsche Opera Berlin and the Metropolitan
Opera in New York City. Three young opera stars familiar with the Dayton Opera stage return to comprise Puccini’s comedic trio Ping, Pang, and Pong. Former Dayton Opera Artist-in-Residence, baritone Kenneth Stavert, returns to the stage in the role of Ping. Tenor Robert Norman, who most recently performed the role of Nika Magadoff in The Consul this past October, takes on the role of Pang. And Dayton Opera 2017-2018 Artist-in-Residence tenor Michael Anderson takes the stage with Dayton Opera one last time this season in the role of Pong. Also joining the cast is baritone Bradley Mattingly in the role of Mandarin, and debuting in this production is UD facul-
ty member, tenor David Sievers, as the Emperor Altourn. Puccini’s luxurious score will be provided by the impeccable Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Conductor Neal Gittleman. The ever-versatile members of the Dayton Opera Chorus, under the direction of Chorus Master Jeffrey Powell, take to the stage again to add their choral expertise. Adding to the vocal power in this production are auxiliary singers from the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra Chorus and from the University of Dayton and several chorus members from Kettering Children’s Choir under the direction of Chorale Director Bruce Swank. Want to learn even more about Turandot? Come one hour prior to both performances to hear pre-performance talks presented by U.D. Music Professor Dr. Sam Dorf inside the Mead Theatre. Tickets for Turandot range from $28 to $94 and are available at www.daytonperformingarts. org or by calling Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630. Senior, student, and military discounts are available.

Jacks defeat Greenville to advance to sectional final, will face No. 2 seed CJ at Eaton
Oakwood used a dominating pitching performance from Kaes Drumheller and some timely “small ball” to turn back Greenville 4-0 in the second round of baseball sectional play last Thursday. The win in front of a large crowd at OHS sends the Jacks into the sectional final against Chaminade Julienne. Drumheller threw a 2-hit shutout and struck out eight against Greenville, which is a member of the Greater Western Ohio Conference. The Green Wave threatened in the top of the seventh, loading the bases, but Drumheller induced a ground ball to shortstop Brian Erbe, who fired to second baseman Jack Danis for a game-ending force play. “Kaes is definitely a top-tier high school pitcher, and we know every time he is out there our chances of winning are very good,” Oakwood coach Chuck Freeman said. “He has been solid all year and his entire career, really. He has been an integral part of our great success these past two seasons.” The Jacks (18-9) scored twice in the fourth inning and added two in the sixth. Alex Neff scored the game’s first run in the fourth on single by Connor Morris. Pinch-runner Joe Crowl made it 2-0 when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Zach Brennaman. Brennaman was credited with another RBI in the sixth inning on a perfectly executed suicide squeeze that plated Neff. Jake Kollars, who was 2 for 3 at the plate, scored the Jacks’ last run on a Seth Helter sacrifice fly.

Senior Jacob Kollars slides home from third base ahead of the tag on a sacrifice fly by junior Seth Helter in the bottom of the sixth inning as Oakwood defeated Greenville 4-0 in second round of playoffs. Kaes Drumheller went the distance to chalk up a 2-hit shut out.
The Jacks, who shut out Dunbar in the first round of the sectional, now face CJ for the third time in two weeks. Oakwood split the first two meetings against the Eagles, winning 10-8 at Oakwood and falling
5-0 last Monday in a game played at Woerner Field at UD. Oakwood is the Number 3 seed in the Dayton Division II sectional; CJ is the Number 2 seed. The sectional final was originally
scheduled for Thursday at Eaton High School, but CJ is due to celebrate its baccalaureate on Thursday night so the school is petitioning the Southwest District Board to change either the game time or location.
“CJ will be a strong test,” Freeman said. “They have great pitching, so runs will be at a premium. We will need to play an error-free game and capitalize on scoring opportunities when they arise.”
A limited number of tickets will be given away by The Oakwood Register on a first come, first served basis. Please stop by the office at 435 Patterson Rd., Dayton, OH 45419 from 9am-5pm.
