Kizirnis set to debut new album with record release party at Yellow Cab Tavern Feb. 1 The Yellow Cab Tavern will host Oakwood musician Nick Kizirnis on Saturday, Feb. 1, for the record release show of The Distance on ATOM Records. “This will be a one-off show to celebrate the release of the album. Everyone in the group is so busy with other bands and projects, so we’re excited we could pull this off,” said Kizirnis. Having played in such celebrated Dayton acts as The Mulchmen, Nicky Kay Orchestra, and with Tobin Sprout in Eyesinweasel, The Distance is Kizirnis’s first album in five years. Featured on the recording are Kate Wakefield and Patrick Himes. The three will be joined by Paige Beller, Brian Hoeflich and Brian Greaney on stage Feb. 1. Kyleen Downes and Amber Hargett are opening. “This album is the result of challenging myself as a songwriter, and then continuing that challenge into the recording studio,” said Kizirnis.

Lt. Yount retires after 30 years of service with Oakwood Public Safety Department Oakwood’s longest-serving public safety officer hangs up his badge this week, ending a more than 30-year career with the city. Lieutenant Jeff Yount, Sr., served his last day of active duty with the Oakwood Public Safety Department on Jan. 27, and will officially retire from the roster on April 2. A 1981 graduate of Stebbins High School, Yount was hired as a police officer by Mad River Township, now the city of Riverside, in 1985 and joined the Oakwood Public Safety Department in October 1989. Yount completed firefighter and EMT certifications with the city after being hired, and in 1990 he was assigned to the Public Safety Department’s detective section, where he served for 14 years. During his time as a detective, Yount also was assigned to three joint task forces, including two with the Ohio Organized Crimes Commission.
On one of those assignments Yount’s six-member team was instrumental in obtaining a 2005 conviction of a Springboro police officer in a 1995 cold case homicide involving the police officer’s wife. “It was one of those things where, first of all, you’re honored to be on the task force working the case. Secondly, to be able to solve it after so many years was an accomplishment,” Yount, who received a commendation from the Warren County Sheriff’s office as a result of the investigation, recalled. After more than a decade with the detective section, Yount returned to “regular” duty as a public safety officer in Oakwood in 2004, earning a promotion to lieutenant in 2007. Over the years, law enforcement has become something of a Yount family legacy. Yount’s uncle served for 18 years as a police officer in Kettering, and his son, Jeff Yount, Jr.,
served as a police officer for five years in New Orleans before joining the Oakwood Public Safety Department to work alongside his father in 2014. Today, the younger Yount also works multi-jurisdictional task force cases for the Tactical Crime Suppression Unit, filling much the same role as his father in previous assignments. “I thought public service was something that I would enjoy doing,” Yount recalls. “I was correct.” Looking back on his career, Yount notes that he has worked for five different Public Safety Department chiefs in Oakwood, as well as generations of officers – many of whom he regards as extended family. “There’s lots of fond memories. I guess my fondest memories would be the camaraderie with the officers I’ve worked with over the years,” he adds. And Yount’s witnessed a lot of

Library levy needed to offset losses in state support, funding On March 17, Oakwood residents will have an opportunity to vote for an operating levy supporting Four Starrated Wright Library. This levy will cost Oakwood property owners about $52 per year ($4.33 a month), per $100,000 in home value and is needed to offset state funding losses. Declining revenue from the state, rising costs, and pressing maintenance, which we can no longer defer, make passing this levy critical. Wright Library has tightened its belt to keep costs down, sought private donations, and postponed facility work while maintaining the highest quality service, materials, and technology for our community. For more details, see https://citizensforwrightlibrary.org. We have surveyed residents to establish the library’s priorities. You have told us the library is an important Oakwood asset, and you value Wright Library. Maintaining a strong collection in this community gathering place, improving ADA compliance, and providing tailored services like delivery to the homebound are critical priorities. This community input directly guided the Board’s strategic planning for this
levy proposal. I encourage you all to visit your library. Our family has depended on it since 1987 for best sellers like David McCullough’s The Wright Brothers, free access to Ancestry.com to satisfy my curiosity about our family history, tech tutoring to get the most out of our iPhones and connect to the library’s digital content, all the local history programs put on by Oakwood’s Historical Society, and hilarious kid’s audio books like Hank the Cowdog for family road trips. This is a great institution, and I am extremely proud to serve as Board President. Stop by to meet a staff second to none, who are backed up by dedicated trustees and supported by a wonderful foundation. Since 1939, this Tudor revival building has warmly sheltered a rich repository of knowledge accessible to Oakwood’s curious of all ages—a Four Star-rated library in the Gem City worth your consideration at the polls in March.

“Sam Manavis approached me about making a video for ‘Slipping Away.’ He had the idea of featuring several couples in a bar, wallowing in their sorrows and suffering through the breakdown of their relationships,” Kizirnis said, setting the scene. “It’s
these years of making music.” It also paired Kizirnis’s musical talents with Oakwood director Sam Manavis of Manavision, who filmed a video for the song “Slipping Away” at the bar Partners, just outside Oakwood.

Speech, Debate team looks to District tournament
Oakwood Speech and Debate wrapped up the regular season on Saturday, Jan. 25, with a second place team sweepstakes finish in the second annual Yellow Springs Fearless Forensic Festival. Oakwood High School had five team members placing first in Yellow Springs with Bryn Cortez, Natalie Bridgewaters, Sophie Soller, and Tess Patton and Julia Neal winning their respective categories. Soller, Gavin Enseleit and Clara Leach each earned their last state bids, qualifying for the State Tournament. The three will join OHS team members Sam Stack, Canaan Smith and Sydney Hardern who qualified previ-
ously for State. In Informative Speaking, Cortez won and Gabby Hutchinson earned second. In Dramatic Interpretation, Bridgewaters won, Allie Wilson placed second and Emerson Davis finished fifth. Soller won Program Oral Interpretation, while Shayla Frederick finished fourth. In Public Forum Debate, the team of Patton and Neal won, with Enseleit and Leach placing second, and Lily Meehan and Sebastian Roederer placing third. In Lincoln Douglas Debate, Bahar Berksoy finished second and Lily Oehlers just narrowly missed the stage, earning seventh place.
In a large Congress chamber, Ashton Tucker earned third, Porshe Ashley was fourth, Audrey Bergeron fifth and Jack Benbow walked away in seventh place. Other top finishers were Lauren Hamiel fifth place Original Oratory, Toni Moore and Keara Connolly fifth place Duo Interpretation, Matthew Wilson third place Humorous Interpretation, RJ Plunkett fifth place Humorous Interpretation, Alex Mayer fifth place International Extemporaneous Speaking and Ella Conard sixth place US Extemporaneous Speaking. The District Tournament will be held Feb. 1.
not a story, it’s more like a moment in time. As we talked through the different ideas we had we found that we were both really on the same page. It was great to work with Sam and see ideas like the karaoke scene come to life both during the shoot and then
especially in the final edit.” The video for “Slipping Away” can be viewed on YouTube at https:// youtu.be/h07Yc6VJ35Q. The album release party kicks off at the Yellow Cab Tavern, located at 700 East Fourth St. in Dayton, at 7:30 p.m.,
with the music starting at 8:30 pm. Presale tickets are available at www. soundvalleydayton.com/events/nickkizirnis-the-distance-record-releaseshow for $12 or with a CD copy of The Distance for $15. Tickets at the door will be $15.

over its 16 years. “It’s high time for a makeover,” comments Ty Sutton, president and CEO for Victoria Theatre Association which owns and operates the Schuster Center and the restaurant. “Very few upgrades have been made over the past 16 years. We’re excited to completely renovate and unveil a brand-new food and beverage option for performance patrons.“ VTA has retained The Idea Collective, a Dayton-based design
group, to assist with the new concept and renovation. The new concept will be unveiled in the fall of 2020. Any patrons with upcoming dinner reservations will be contacted by management. The restaurant will not be open for lunch during the week or for any pre-performance dining until after the renovation is completed. Previously planned events will continue with Elite Catering handling all catered events.

Orville Wright never graduated high school but was a lifelong learner and personally underwrote the campaign to establish Wright Memorial Library. He subsequently served on its board and, above the main entrance, you’ll find hieroglyphics Orville inscribed – there’s a prize for anyone who can decipher them. Today this Oakwood centerpiece boasts a coveted Four-Star rating and usage which ranks in the top 1percent nationally compared with similar sized libraries. Activities from technical classes to musical performances are offered for every age. There’s children’s story time for babies through elementary; Game On for tweens; teen writing club and happenings. Adults can enjoy movies, lectures, streaming services
and community walks. There’s even delivery service for homebound, elderly, and disabled residents empowering them to stay informed and engaged! Further outreach is provided by library bicycle, bringing materials for checkout to schools and neighborhood block parties. Oakwood elementary students list the Maker’s Box among their favorite experiences. Cammie explains, “They challenge you to think and create. Each one is different! My favorites are the 3D printing pen, the Beebot, and the Code-apillar sets. Once I even got a unicycle!” Kate shared that “the library has impacted my life because I was a library ambassador”. The summer reading program encourages positive competition to mitigate the ‘summer slump’. All who participate are rewarded with gifts (and knowledge!). Dedicated readers of each age group are invited to become Library Ambassadors for the upcoming school year. Sean added, “if you look at my library receipt you’ll see that I saved my family thousands of dollars!” We don’t doubt it – borrow books, videos, music, computer games, audiobooks and instruments for free. Also offered are passport and notary services. You can even get museum passes for the family at no charge! We love the historical Oakwood archives section – it was wonderful to learn who built our home and the families who’ve lived there over the past 100 years! The library atmosphere is, for the most part, conducive to learning and productivity. Group study conference rooms are underutilized but available for tutors to aid students, preserving the tranquility of common areas. In March, a library operations levy is requested and, yes, will nominally impact our already significant taxes. But at stake are current services provided under a 2009 operation revenue level which is simply not sustainable. It’s a tough ask but let’s unite as a community and vote for our Wright Memorial Public Library, an Oakwood capstone. Check out all the library offers at www.wrightlibrary.org. If you’re struggling to support this community resource, join the conversation at an upcoming meeting - Feb 11, 27 or 29.

Delicious dish is simple enough for family meal, yet elegant for special dinner party By Wolfgang Puck Tribune Content Agency
It seems to me that people who love to cook at home often have two separate styles of recipes that they rely on. First come the everyday dishes that they make week after week for their family and any close friends who might drop by - simple, straightforward, delicious food they can cook quickly and easily with minimal fuss. And then there are more elaborate, special-occasion dishes that they only make to impress their guests at special dinner parties. I think, however, that the very nature of special occasion entertaining
has changed over the years. More and more hosts and guests alike prefer that dinner parties feel like relaxed family-style meals - occasions at which you don’t have to dress up in uncomfortable clothes, worry whether you’re using the right fork, or be extra cautious not to drip your red wine on the fancy tablecloth. Good food that feels more like a family supper puts everyone at ease gathered around the table at happy ease. That’s why, right now, when you’re probably still thinking about how you’d like to change the way you cook and entertain this year, I’d like to share a favorite recipe of mine that is equally welcome and easy to
prepare whether you serve it to your loved ones on a weeknight or present it to weekend dinner party guests. It’s my pork medallions on apple compote with black pepper cider sauce. Pork is a really home-style choice of meat, and it’s usually so reasonably priced. Yet, when you choose a piece of boneless pork loin and ask the butcher in your supermarket to cut it into the medallion-shaped pieces called for in the recipe, you have a main ingredient that looks surprisingly elegant for a special party. The medallions also cook very quickly, which makes them a perfect choice for a family meal. (You could also prepare a similar version of the dish substituting
medallions of lamb, slices of boneless turkey breast, or even boneless and skinless chicken breast halves.) The apple compote beneath the pork is also an appealingly homey preparation. Yet, a few easy special touches - some apple cider jelly and splashes of white wine and cream transform the compote into something surprisingly elegant. The same goes for the sauce spooned over the pork,

cream and stir until the apples are evenly coated. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a hint of nutmeg. Keep warm. To prepare the medallions, first lightly dust them all over with the flour and season to taste with salt and pepper. Over medium-high heat, heat 1 or 2 heavy skillets with enough cooking surface to hold the medallions in a single layer without crowding. Add 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter to each skillet, and swirl to coat the cooking surface. Add the pork medallions and saute until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, mound the compote on 4 heated plates. Arrange two medallions on top of the compote on each plate. Spoon a little sauce over and around the medallions. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
which gains its own bright flavor from the cider jelly plus some coarsely crushed black peppercorns. Those three easily assembled elements add up to a dish that looks like something a fine restaurant might serve, yet tastes like the best in comfort food. In other words, it offers the best of both worlds, making it a recipe I hope you’ll want to prepare again and again, whatever the occasion.

I spent the MLK holiday reading the latest The New Yorker magazine with King illustrated on the cover, showing young people drawing his profile. Not the most active thing to do; I hope others were performing more meaningfully. I did go to Goodwill/Easter Seals to read Arthur Rimbaud for the blind on Reading Radio. After discussing “the books which changed your life” with Anne Pici; the film The Window (1949) with Jim Hughes; the play about Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland and their original actors with Paula Hemmerly; and many other literary topics, “the Loving Spouse” and I drove to Watermark Restaurant in Miamisburg for a reunion dinner with our fellow travelers to China almost 10 years ago; Wilma Duff, Warren Brown, Sharon Smith, Julie and Ray Thomes were there. I did see Don Schweller enjoying a dinner there also, but he did not see me. Thursday found me back at Miami Valley Hospital volunteering in the Heart and Vascular Cath Lab and seeing my cardiologist for an annual check-up of my heart - it’s still beating. Perhaps because Judy Wilson helps my “mind-
fulness” training during Tai Chi and meditation. Instead of meditating, I could have joined Friendship Force for a LEO (Let’s Eat Out) at China Cottage for the Chinese Lunar New Year, but I just hung up my red and yellow dragon on the dining room chandelier and mused upon the moon, my lunar sign. Uncharacteristically, I stayed in for most of the weekend - how unusual. Basically, I played “librarian,” moving around poetry books, thousands of them. I did drop by the Wright Library for the books the reference librarians were holding for me. On Sunday, I ventured out to DLM to replenish my Boston Stoker Highlander Grogg then drove to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church for the UD Brass Quintet and Organ concert. So that’s where everybody was on that afternoon. Jimmy Leach and Alan Kimbrough had planned a wonderful program. I am not a traditional fan of brass (though my introduction was to The Wallace Collection at the Ely Cathedral), but the combination of Strauss, Praetorious, Piazzolla, and Farrokh Bulsara (took me a minute to remember that was Freddie Mercury’s real name) plus others was very entertaining. I saw so many:
Debra Edwards, Charlie Campbell, Sue Falter, Chris Saunders, Julie Vann and her mother, Eileen Carr and her mother, Donna Reece, Peggy Jurgens, Anne Pici, Barbara O’Hara, Bill and Marina Shaw, Adele Good, Penny Wolfe, Connie Epley, Judy Cook, Margaret and Jim Brooks, and many others. When Jimmy Leach sang the poet Jacques Prevert’s “Autumn Leaves,” I remembered my Aunt Bie (Viola Mitchner) who played that song over and over from a 78 r.p.m. Scat singing and snapping fingers, all that jazz!

Wright Library garners record $59,394 in donations The Wright Memorial Public Library Foundation received a record $59,394 in donations in its 2019 Annual Fund campaign. “We are so grateful to the library’s community of donors,” said Library Director Kristi Hale. “The funds raised will support additional library collections, services and programs that it could not offer with tax dollars alone. In addition, some donors directed their gifts toward the library’s ‘2020 Vision’ plan for repairing and updating this beautiful building. All of these gifts
are an affirmation that the library is a valued community asset.” Donations to the foundation support the library’s mission by funding programs, materials, outreach, amenities and services that the library could not otherwise provide the community. Recently, the foundation funded a replacement for the book drop on Telford Avenue. Small-group technology classes and funding for the Far Hills Music Series are programs made possible by donations. Donations to the foundation are invested and expended
for the exclusive benefit of the library and operates as a component fund of the Dayton Foundation. Anyone wishing to donate to the library can do so by mail, at the library, or at wrightlibrary.org/ foundation. The foundation board is made up of local citizen volunteers Elaine Gounaris, Mark Harman, Kirk Johnsen, Steve Turek, Patty Caruso, Susan Elliott, Julie Teeters, and Elysse Wagner. Wright Library Trustee Darrell Crowe serves as the board’s liaison to the foundation.
