Vol. 27, No. 49

Oakwood Schools to place levy, bond issue on May 7 ballot

The Oakwood Board of Education on Monday took the first step toward placing a 4.99-mill operating levy on the May 7 ballot, and announced plans to ask voters to approve a 2.7mill bond issue intended to raise $18 million to fund the first phase of the recently approved Master Facilities Plan which aims to renovate the district’s existing school buildings. While the proposed levy would support day-to-day operations of the school district, the bond issue would be used to fund infrastructure improvements to district school buildings. The school board officially adopted a new Master Facilities Plan on Nov. 19, with the first phase of the project - $19 million in planned infrastructure renovations and repairs at Oakwood High School, Junior High, Smith and Harman elementary schools – running through 2023. The second phase of the four-part plan, to include additional renovations at the four schools, is projected to cost another $25 million between 2025 and 2028. If approved by voters the levy, which would cost Oakwood homeowners $490 a year for each $100,000 in property value, would raise an estimated $1.6 million in

annual revenue for the district. “This is placing on the ballot a request to the community,” Oakwood Schools Superintendent Dr. Kyle Ramey said. “The request has two distinct parts, one is a bond issue and the other is an operating levy. Both are critical and both are equally important.” Besides the levy request, the school board will ask voters to approve a 2.7-mill bond issue to generate an additional $18 million in revenue for the district. The bond issue would be dated June 1, 2019, and pay an estimated annual interest rate of 4.5 percent. School officials noted that the 4.99-mill operating levy proposal “is the district’s lowest request to the Oakwood community for operating dollars in more than 30 years.” “This levy would generate money to cover the district’s day-to-day expenses. We have been good stewards of taxpayer money and will continue to develop processes and procedures to be as effective and efficient as possible, stretching our resources as far as they will go,” district officials said in a statement. Oakwood voters overwhelmingly

The annual holiday party featured a tree lighting, hayrides on the boulevard and musical performances by the Oakwood High School Band, with Saint Nick arriving aboard a city fire truck.

approved a 1.8-mill, five-year permanent improvement school levy in May 2017. That levy costs city homeowners $55.13 a year for each $100,000 in property value. The new

proposal would be a continuing – or permanent - levy, meaning that the levy will not expire and the district will not need to seek renewal in future years, if approved by voters.

Monday’s vote was the first of two needed to place the levy and bond issue on the May 7 ballot. A final vote is expected when the school board meets on January 14.

City Council adopts $21.5 million city budget, okays payroll hikes, increases refuse fee

Oakwood City Council on Monday approved a $21.5 million appropriations budget for 2019, with total net expenditures for year set at $17.6 million. City Manager Norb Klopsch said the 2019 budget marks the first time Oakwood will have a balanced budget since the 2013 repeal of the Ohio estate tax – which at one time accounted for 20 percent of the city’s revenue. “That is very significant,” Klopsch

told city lawmakers. Klopsch noted that one key component to balancing the city budget was Council’s decision last year to implement a 10 percent reduction in the tax credit extended to city residents who pay income tax in other municipalities, telling Council that 55 percent of the income taxes paid by Oakwood residents go to other communities. The budget includes $15.6 million in operating fund expenditures, including $1.2 million in street main-

tenance and repair funds, $1.16 million in leisure services and $11 million in general fund appropriations, including more than $8.7 million in personnel costs. The budget also earmarks $95,000 for the police pension fund, $1.5 million in refuse expenditures and $3.8 million in the city’s so-called enterprise funds – water, sanitary sewer and stormwater funds which are self-supporting through fees assessed to homeowners. In separate, unrelated legislation,

Council also approved an amended personnel schedule and amended compensation rates for Oakwood Municipal Court that grants a 2.95 percent pay hike to city employees not covered by a collective bargaining unit. The city had previously agreed to a comparable 2.95 percent wage increase for employees represented by collective bargaining. Council capped the Deputy Clerk of Courts salary at $48,827.50 and established the hourly pay rate for

the court probation officer at $22.85. City Council also approved a rate hike for refuse collection in Oakwood, raising the residential rate by $3 a month from $27 to $30 for single family homes, $54 to $60 for duplexes, $81 to $90 for triplexes, and from $108 to $120 a month for four-unit apartment buildings. Klopsch said the new refuse rates, which take effect January 1, will generate an additional $135,000 in annual revenue for the city.

THE OAKWOOD REGISTER December 12, 2018

Rotary recognizes Frapwell, Perkins with Civic Leadership, Community Service Awards Oakwood Rotary Club recently presented its Civic Leadership and Community Service Awards. The Civic Leadership Award was presented to attorney William Frapwell, and the Community Service Award was presented to Kenneth Perkins. The Civic Leadership Award recognizes someone who has served the Oakwood community in a volunteer capacity and leadership role and recognizes those who give of their free time to make the Oakwood a better place to live. Bill Frapwell has been a resident of Oakwood for 60 years. In February 1993, he was appointed to the Oakwood Budget Review Committee, a 35-member citizen committee with representatives from each of Oakwood’s seven voting precincts who advise City Council and staff on finance and budget matters. In addition to serving more than 25 years on the committee, Frapwell has served as

vice chair for over 15 years and also served on the Oakwood Public Facilities Focus Group and the Oakwood Comprehensive Planning Committee. Oakwood City Manager Norb Klopsch credits Frapwell with “contributing in a very meaningful way as the city faced many challenging issues and projects.” As a member of the Public Facilities Focus Group, he assisted in the multi-year analysis and planning for the two largest city facility improvement projects ever undertaken, the Foell Public Works Center in 2000, and the City Administration and Public Safety Building in 2004. The Community Service Award, presented to Kenneth Perkins, goes to a city employee who has distinguished themselves by their contribution to Oakwood. Perkins began working for the city of Oakwood in 1990 as a general service worker operating a refuse

collection vehicle. Prior to joining the Oakwood Service Department, he served in the U.S. Army. In 1992, Perkins was promoted to assistant foreman, and in 1994 he was named foreman. Since 1994, he has served as foreman in charge of all services and operations in the city’s comprehensive refuse program. Perkins supervises 11 workers, the largest group of employees in the Oakwood Public Works Department. Over the past two years, he has also served as foreman overseeing the operations of the city’s vehicle and equipment maintenance shop. Perkins also serves as stand-by foreman one week each month, being available 24 hours a day, seven days per week to supervise employees addressing off-hour emergencies such as snow removal, water pipe breaks, sewer back-ups and fallen trees. In more than 28 years of public

service, Klopsch said Perkins “has distinguished himself as a man with a very strong work ethic and impeccable character. He is recognized on city staff and throughout the Oakwood community as an outstanding employee and leader.”

Along with a plaque, the Rotary Club makes a $350 donation to charitable organizations selected by the award recipients. Perkins selected the Wounded Warrior Project, and Frapwell selected the St. Vincent Bed and Breakfast Program.

Josef Rudolf Suter age 77, died on December 3, 2018. He was born in Greenville, Ohio, on January 14, 1941. He graduated from Wittenberg University with a B.S. in Education in 1963, a Master in Arts from Arizona State University in 1971, and earned a degree in Nurse Anesthesiology from Pace University. He taught at Oakwood High School from July 1965 until 1970, then returned for a year from 19711972. Years later he received the Sam Andrews Education Hall of Honor Award at the Dayton Country Club. He later

joined E.F. McDonald Travel Division where he was incentive travel director, traveling all over the world with various corporations, and later attended Pace University in New York to become a nurse anesthetist. He settled in New Orleans, where he worked in various hospitals, finally teaching anesthesiology in a community college there. He retired to the Church of Brethren Retirement Cottages in Greenville. There will be no service, but condolences may be sent to Zechar.com.

Holiday Parties

By Gary Mitchner Looking over the calendar, I notice the names of four doctors and dates for four parties. The Opera Guild Marionettes team, organized by Nora Stang, had its holiday luncheon at the Dayton Country Club, compliments of Toni Winger. “Il pagliaccio” Canio, the guild’s mascot, attended as well as Dana Kane, Dolores Anderson, Linda Fish, Carolyn Preissler Kiefaber, Amy Lombardo and several others. Balancing social commitments, volunteering, family obligations, doctors, and hedonism is difficult. I did attend a holiday party at the English Manor B&B in Miamisburg, played Christmas bingo (a new one for me), and received a pair of “Deer Santa” lounge pants (you guessed right, deer heads with Santa caps) from Brenda Stone, while Janine Kinnison, Rosalie BonacciRoberts, Phyllis Githens, Genia Rose-Zellmer, Genia Woods, Cinday Garland, and Sue Cox laughed on. But the most meaningful event was The Nobel Peace Prize Winner’s luncheon, sponsored by the Dayton International

The Opera Guild Marionettes.

The Lunch Bunch at the English Manor.

Peace Museum, for the 2018 winners Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad. Dr. Katherine Rowell was the emcee; Jane Keiffer, Executive Director of Artemis Center, spoke about Ms. Murad and Dr. Shelley Inglis, of the University of Dayton Human Rights Center, spoke about Mr. Mukwege. The museum’s new director, Oakwood’s own Kevin Kelly, introduced the keynote speaker, artist, mediation consultant, and NYU professor Brad Heckman. Over 150 peace-lov-

ers attended; I talked with Sarah Kiewitz, Chris Saunders, Judy Cook, Joan and Lonnie Franks, Brab Blauman, and many others. Then the traditional Nutcracker was on with the Miami Valley Dance Company at Bellbrook High School auditorium. Two granddaughters dance so, of course, I had to be there, but Leticia Ellis and kids, the Middleton family, the Bretz family, the Chaudhauri family, Rowan Bartlett, and lots of others enjoyed Claire’s dreams.

Jill on Money

Looking ahead to less-robust 2019

Thanksgiving week provided investors with a healthy reminder: When the bear reveals his teeth, the results can be nasty. A bear market is defined as a 20 percent decline from an asset’s 52-week high. In this case, the bear mauled some of the recent market darlings, including the technology sector’s stars: the FAANGs (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google parent, Alphabet), which together have erased about $1 trillion in market capitalization from their recent highs. While some of the selling was profit taking after years of amazing performance, there are signs that some of these companies, like

Facebook and Google, could face more regulatory scrutiny. That increased oversight could mean that companies have to spend a lot more money to operate and/or they may be prohibited from doing business as usual. The bottom line: Some of the FAANGs could be less profitable in the future, which is why investors are selling. Zoom out and there is something else going on. Since the end of September, there has been a growing concern that the U.S. economy is unlikely to maintain its current growth trajectory. Yes, 2018 will likely see the strongest Gross Domestic Product (GDP is estimated to come in at 3 to 3.2 percent for the calendar year) since 2005, when it was 3.5 percent. But 2019 is not expected to be as strong, according to Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton. She credits corporate tax cuts and government spending as the main

catalysts behind this year’s shining economy. But Swonk believes that “the corrosive impact” of tariffs is likely to push up consumer prices. “Almost 20 percent of importers will pass on tariffs to consumers,” which will force the Federal Reserve’s hand as it tries to keep a lid on inflation. There is a general consensus that the central bank will raise by a quarter of a percentage point the interest rate at the last policy meeting of the year in December. Swonk believes they may have to raise four times in 2019 (the Fed itself has penciled in three quarter-point increases). Rising interest rates, combined with the diminishing effect of fiscal stimulus will mean that growth will slow down in 2019, leading to a recession in 2020, according to her analysis. No conversation about the wall of worry that investors face would

While there has been increased regulatory scrutiny (the SEC levied its first civil penalties and the Justice Department is investigating whether last year’s run up was actually a result of market manipulation), crypto has not grown up yet and should be avoided for the vast majority of investors.

New tax law changing some deductions for filers

The 2018 tax filing season begins in mid-January 2019. The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act means some stark changes for tax filers and the deductions they can claim. One of the most notable changes is the increase in standard deductions for individuals and married households. Tax filing season is only a couple months away, and with the passage of Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act last year, filling out your tax forms might require a different strategy than what you’ve used in previous years. Here’s a breakdown of some of the more notable changes you need to consider for the 2018 tax filing season, including multiple deductions that are now kaput.

Increase in Standard Deduction

Probably the most useful change for individuals and families is the increase in the standard deduction. The amount has almost doubled to $12,200 for individuals and $24,400 for families. These increases are supposed to increase the average household income by $4,000.

No More Personal Exemptions

Although increasing the standard deduction might be a good thing,

you can no longer claim a personal exemption for yourself, your spouse or your dependents. This means you can no longer reduce your taxable income by $4,050 for each eligible member of your household.

State and Local Tax Caps

Known as SALT, the new tax law limits this tax deduction to $10,000, whereas previously it was unlimited. This a big drawback for my clients living in California and New York, and other places where people pay high property or state taxes.

Reduced Mortgage Interest Deduction

Homeowners will only be able to deduct up to $750,000 worth of interest from qualified residence loans, whereas before it was up to $1 million. This could pose another problem for residents living in states with high home prices that require larger mortgages, like New York and California. Furthermore, you will also be unable to deduct the interest from home equity loans. Even currently existing home equity loans will not be grandfathered in.

No More Job Expenses Claims

You could previously claim unreimbursed job-related purchases so long as they were more than 2 percent of your adjustable gross

income. Unfortunately for strapped employees, that deduction will be eliminated for 2018’s taxes.

and family. This even includes the IRS and others in the tax business. • Double check the email address. Thieves may have compromised a friend’s email address. They might also be spoofing the address with a slight change in text. For example, using [email protected] instead of name@example. com. Merely changing the “m” to an “r” and “n” can trick people. • Remember that the IRS doesn’t initiate spontaneous contact with taxpayers by email to ask for personal or financial information. This includes asking for information via text messages and social media channels. The IRS does not call taxpayers with aggressive threats of lawsuits or arrests. • Not click on hyperlinks in suspicious emails. When in doubt, users should not use hyperlinks and go directly to the source’s main web

No More Moving Expense Claims

31 Park Avenue

Transients could’ve deducted moving expenses from their taxes provided they met certain criteria, but the new tax law eliminates this, with the exception of military service members moving to new duty stations.

No More Natural Disaster Deductions

It’s been an intense several years for residents dealing with natural disasters; the California wildfires are just the most recent example. Prior to the new tax law, victims of circumstance could deduct at least half of the expenses they incurred. However, under the new tax law, you must live in a “presidentially designated disaster area” to be eligible for the deduction. The new tax law will also eliminate multiple deductions that might dent your tax refund, or increase your tax bill, including alimony deductions, tax preparation fees, parking and transit reimbursement, reduction of charitable donations if used to acquire college athletic tickets, and convenience fees for ATM use.

Don’t take the bait when it comes to online scams

Data thieves don’t take a break during the holidays. In fact, the IRS warns taxpayers that the agency is seeing a large increase in bogus email schemes that seek to steal money or tax data. The most common way for cybercriminals to steal money, bank account information, passwords, credit cards and Social Security numbers is to simply ask for them. Every day, people fall victim to phishing scams or phone scams that cost them their time and their cash. Here are a few steps you can take to protect against phishing and other email scams: • Be vigilant and skeptical. Never open a link or attachment from an unknown or suspicious source. Even if the email is from a known source, the recipient should approach with caution. Cybercrooks are good at acting like trusted businesses, friends

page. They should also remember that no legitimate business or organization will ask for sensitive financial information by email. • Use security software to protect against malware and viruses found in phishing emails. Some software can help identity suspicious websites that are used by cybercriminals. • Use strong passwords to protect online accounts. Experts recommend the use of a passphrase, instead of a password, use a minimum of 10 digits, including letters, numbers and special characters. • Use multi-factor authentication when offered. Two-factor authentication means that in addition to entering a username and password, the user must enter a security code. Even if a thief manages to steal usernames and passwords, it’s unlikely the crook would also have a victim’s phone.

Oakwood displays seasonal style, historic architecture with first-ever holiday home tour

Oakwood joins the ranks of historic Dayton neighborhoods in the Oregon District, Grafton Hill, St. Anne’s Hill and McPherson Town this year as it hosted its first-ever holiday home tour this season. Sponsored by the Oakwood Historical Society, the home tour – held last weekend to a sellout crowd – featured seasonal and festive décor in seven homes, including several century-old designs by well-known local architect Louis Lott, as well as one of the city’s oldest residences in the Schantz district. Valerie and Rodger Smith were among those who opened their doors on Volusia Avenue as part of the inaugural event, which wound a two-mile path through city neighborhoods. “It encouraged us to get a couple of projects done,” laughs Valerie. “It’s a little daunting, but we’re excited to share our house with the community.”

The couple moved into the two-story, 1,800-square-foot 1915 Swiss Chalet at 451 Volusia two years ago from their previous home in Dayton’s McPherson Town, also bristling with historic architecture. Curiously, their last home was featured on this year’s holiday home tour of the McPherson Town neighborhood, and they stopped back by their old digs to see how the new owners were getting along. “I love taking home tours,” she says. “So it was kind of cool seeing our old house.” Although the Smiths have spent the better part of the past two years renovating and updating their “new” Oakwood home, the century-old structure required relatively few major repairs. “This home was pretty well maintained when we moved in, but we’ve touched every room in one way or another,” says Valerie. “Being in the trades, when we See Tour on page 11 u

u Tour from page 10 saw this place I was able to give it a deeper eye and compared to other homes its age it had really good bones. It was in really good shape,” Rodger Smith, an electrician who works at WrightPatterson, says of the Chalet-style home. “In our previous home, for example, we had to fix the beams, replace the roof, do a bunch of stuff. But this one has been well maintained over the years. There’s been a lot to do, but a lot of it has been by choice rather than by necessity.” While the exterior of the home exudes Alpine appeal, with two second-story “demi balconies” overlooking the yard and surrounding neighborhood, Valerie says the interior of the home “is pretty Craftsman, but it’s been redone over the years.” A brick fireplace original to the home was covered in 1970s-era faux wood paneling, Rodger notes, a fixture they soon removed to expose floor-to-ceiling brickwork. “Just the fireplace itself was open, they had covered up the windows and everything,” he adds. Other updates included rewiring the home and new countertops in the kitchen. “And we completely remodeled the attic. It was just studs, it was unusable space,” says Valerie, an artist and graphic artist who has since converted the top floor of the home into work and studio space. An open floor plan on the first floor is surprisingly modern in feel, its hardwood floor readily accommodating a couple with a young child. “It’s been remod-

eled a lot over the years,” adds Valerie. “Some of the home’s original integrity is maintained, and some of it has been kind of washed over. The house is over 100 years old, and we try to honor all eras of the home, so we collect a lot of antiques. But we also have a simple, modern style as well. I love mid-century, and the lines here are clean and angular. That really lent itself to mid-century and our furniture reflects that. It’s a neat house.” A few blocks over, the new Oakwood Holiday Home Tour stopped by the 114 East Schantz Avenue home of Christie Collins and James Gibson. The home, which they believe dates to the 1880s, pre-dates Oakwood itself. Although originally built as a single-family home, at some point in its history the house was divided into a duplex and still has the distinction of bearing a “dual” address as both 112 and 114 East Schantz.

u Tour from page 11 “I think this was the first house built over here,” says Christie. “We think it was one of the original Schantz houses.” With a previous home on Orchard Drive getting a little too cramped for four children, the couple found their current quarters listed online a little more than a year ago. “We were just looking at houses for fun and saw this one,” she recalls. “We saw it was advertised as six bedrooms, the pictures looked amazing and the price was a lot less than we thought it should have been.” When they toured the home, however, they came up short counting bedrooms. It was only after the realtor showed them through a hall doorway that they had assumed was just a closet that they discovered another “wing” of additional bedrooms. Having undergone renovations in 2002, the home was essentially move-in ready for the family. A few elements of Victorian-era architecture threw them when they

first moved in, particularly the “picture railing” in the living room and dining room – an old style feature to allow artwork or photographs to be suspended with wires from molding at the ceiling. “We thought the ceiling was cracking,” Christie says with a laugh. Another antiquated feature is the cistern in the backyard used to collect rainwater in the days before city water mains. A small, second-floor room accessible from a staircase at the rear of the home was likely at one time a maid’s room. The home is rooted in family history, as well, as the centerpiece of a second-story home office is a recreation of George Washington’s desk – a family heirloom handed down from James’ physician father. Moving from Orchard to East Schantz gave the couple another glimpse into Oakwood living. “There is a different feel to the neighborhood,” says James. “It’s more urban, but it still doesn’t feel like you are in the city. It’s really

cool being close to the UD campus with all of the restaurants.” Christie concedes she “kind of threw” James into the idea of opening their home to the holiday tour. “I go over the top for decorating, but I think that’s because our kids are so little I like making it fun and memorable for them.” This year’s holiday home tour also called at the 718 Oakwood Avenue home of Katie and David Lunne. Like the Smiths, they too have a long history with historic homes, having owned two “vintage” properties over the course of nine years in Dayton’s Grafton Hill neighborhood before moving to Oakwood five years ago.

u Tour from page 14 “We weren’t particularly looking for another house but stumbled upon another rehab,” Katie recalls. Having established a series of online parameters to notify her when a home meeting their criteria showed up for sale, Katie received an alert when their home on Oakwood Avenue first went on the market. There were no photos with the listing – which she saw as a good thing. “She called me one day and said ‘there’s a house on Oakwood Avenue that has no pictures,’” remembers David. “It was just posted that day. She said it was probably in pretty bad shape and told me we had to see it that same day, that it would sell by the end of the day. We got here at 5 o’clock and there were already four offers on the house.” After winning the bidding war they set about taking stock of the Prairie Style home near Harman School. The home hadn’t been updated since the 1960s, and there was water damage to the property. “We laughed that the most recent update was the shag carpet in the basement from 1973,” Katie grins. The home, designed by Louis Lott, dates to 1919, and Katie, a historic preservationist by training, says that despite appearances the home defies pigeonholing, in terms of architectural style. While the exterior may hint at Prairie Style, the interior “has Craftsman and Four-Square elements,” she notes. “It’s kind of a mutt, architecturally. It’s a mix of things.” She attributes the lack of a clear-cut style to Lott’s reported practice of perusing design books with prospective clients. “We’ve been told that, earlier in his career, Louis Lott would meet with homebuilders and open up a book with a bunch of illustrations of different elements. They might like that fireplace, or this ceiling. So if that’s really true, that may be what happened in this house.” Inside, French doors separate a front sunroom from the living room, while a tri-fold French door serves to distinguish the dining room from the living room. In addition to the sunroom and living room, the first floor of the home also incorporates a foyer, kitchen, and a small breakfast room. The home originally featured a

built-in pipe organ, with the organ itself in the entryway of the home. The Lunne’s even have a vintage, colored postcard, which depicts Henry Ditzel at the keyboard. Ditzel is known to have instituted an 80-year tradition of Christmas concerts, starting in 1908, at the First Lutheran Church in downtown Dayton. The organ itself was removed before they bought the home, and they have since remodeled that space into a foyer closet and half-bath at the front of the home. “We took this on as a project,” says Kristie, adding that the couple remained in their Grafton Hill home for the first 13 months of rehabbing the structure. “We’ve done pretty much everything to the house,” notes David, “gutted the kitchen and bathrooms down to the studs, replastered throughout the home. The ceiling had a leak at some point and there was extensive water damage to the home.” Interestingly, the wood-paneled and ceilinged dining room never featured a chandelier, so the couple tape-measured the installation from the floor of a second-story room above. “We maintained all of the original features and renovated them,” says Kristie with an eye toward preserving the integrity of Lott’s design. That sense of preservation is important to the Lunnes, who featured one of their previous homes on an earlier historic holiday home tour during their nine-year tenure in Grafton Hill. “People are always curious to see older homes. Grafton was similar to Oakwood in a lot of ways, in its varying architectural styles. Nothing looked the same from house to house,” recalls Kristie. “We love old houses and we love both communities. You’ll find people who live in Oakwood, to a degree, and certainly those in the historic districts downtown choose to live in those neighborhoods not only for the community, but also for the historic value of the homes.” “There’s a definite appreciation of older homes in Oakwood,” she says. “I do think that there is room for Oakwood to do more as far as protecting historic architecture. But there is a very, very strong appreciation for older homes here. We love it.”

Renovations included the Lunnes installing a chandelier in the dining room, carefully measured from the floor of the room above.

The Lunne’s breakfast nook allows ample sunlight into the home.

An orchestral farewell, WSU’s one-woman cabaret, Friday Musicals at Dayton library

This is something completely different. I have never reviewed a funeral service. This one, the service for my beloved sister-in-law Dinny Bell, was enhanced by a stunning performance by the artists of the Cleveland Orchestra. How can this happen? The Cleveland Orchestra is like a member of our family. In 1951, I purchased a season ticket to the orchestra, before I even had a room in which to live for my dental studies. A few days later, on the first day of school, I met my future brotherin-law and immediate best friend, Ronnie Bell. I convinced him to join me at the Cleveland Orchestra’s Severance Hall on the campus of the Western Reserve School of Dentistry. The rest is history. Those four years were punctuated, nearly every week, by an orchestra concert. What we loved and learned was legion. It became the fabric of our lives. I am devoted to classical music and have become your arts reviewer. Ronnie is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland Orchestra. There is more. Ron, engaged to Dinny Levitt, created a modern “arranged marriage” for me and Dinny’s sister, Alice. Both Alice and I were unaware of this plot and falling in love was easy. Nearly 65 years have passed and

the package - love, marriage, children - all grew under the aegis of a most loving family serenaded by the Cleveland Orchestra. Dinny, full of love and life, succumbed to the dread Alzheimer’s disease last week. Mourned and missed, her rite of passage featured artists of the orchestra, all great friends. Reviewing their performance requires a litany of superlatives best described as a love gesture by great friends. The players were led by Franklin Cohen, now emeritus principal clarinet after 39 years with the orchestra. He is acknowledged as one of the greatest clarinet voices. He has founded, with his daughter, violinist Diana, the ChamberFest Cleveland, an outstanding summer chamber festival. He was joined by violist Mark Jackobs, violinists Isabel Troutwein and Emma Shook and cellist Tanya Ell. All are endowed chair members of the orchestra. Mark is noted as a musician and athlete. He is a marathoner and iron-man runner. The ladies are noted for artistry and beauty. They chose a heart-wrenching movement from the Mozart clarinet quintet. The consummate beauty is inspiring. The opening notes of the quintet, tutti, are an unforgettable sound-enveloping experience. The artists provided warmth and ardor to make this the perfect farewell for Dinny. It is pure Ave atque Vale. hhh We attended the one-woman cabaret of Wright State University theater student Rachel Glynn. It is her major honors project and reveals the

depth of her talent and the passion that has been instilled in her by excellent training and inspiration at WSU. She chose the title “Stages of Love.” Instead of a recital of songs, it became an emotional saga of a young woman, expressed in music with consummate meaning. Rachel is a true beauty. She is animated and outgoing. It is hard for anyone to imagine her having love difficulties. Rachel showed the power of theater, of music, of personality. Beginning with “Can’t help Lovin’ that Man of Mine,” the Kern/Hammerstein immortal song from Showboat, she lovingly created a life story of youth, love and devotion. What is next for Rachel? She will be a star, perhaps on Broadway, but

certainly in life. hhh Dayton Metro Library is a hub of learning and the arts. The Eichelberger Forum, a delightful performance space, is presenting Friday Musicals through December. I was able to attend the second, “Wind in the Wood,” an early music ensemble. I regret missing the performance of great friend and guitar virtuoso Jim McCutcheon. Early music, in this case very early music, requires instruments and artists that must create completely personal sounds from strings, reeds and tubes. The development of musical instruments added many tools to sound creation. The ensemble played viols and recorders of all shapes and sizes. Included were such oddities as crumhorns and kor-

holt. A most physically beautiful lute lived up to its looks with its engaging sound. The program, ambitious in the extreme, covered more than two centuries in England and Europe. Composers of history - Morley, Dowland, Byrd, were familiar. Others, unfamiliar, were equal in beauty. The players were led by Margaret Erin and included Amy Vaubel, Jenelle Allen, Michael Mattimore and lutenist extraordinaire, Lawrence Pitser. The recital was narrated by Amedee Royer, a paragon of dignity and grace. She joined Amy Vaubel as vocalist. The two-hour program maintained excitement and variety. The experience calls for a repeat, soon and often.

Grigio to release album in January The band Grigio, made up of Oakwood High School seniors Zach Brennaman, Henrik Leboeuf, junior Jake Clock and Bellbrook senior Kieran Harris, have packed the house at Jimmy’s Ladder 11 and South Park Tavern this month. Their album “Fine” is due out in January. Their upcoming performances are Dec. 28 and Jan. 19 at Jimmie’s Ladder 11 and Jan. 4 at Legends Cincinnati.

Harman students share the joy of holiday season

For the fifth year in a row, Harman School third graders are spreading kindness and gratitude in the Oakwood community. This year, the students entertained the crowd at the annual Oakwood Community Center Senior Luncheon on Wednesday, Dec. 5. The nearly 100 students, dressed in their festive apparel, read poems, presented a readers’ theatre pro-

duction and sang songs. Students also presented each senior with a construction paper handprint wreath and spent time talking with the residents. Since 2014, Harman third graders have been doing a holiday wreath project. It started with blue and gold spirit wreaths for each City of Oakwood employee. In 2015, students made burlap wreaths for

the Wright Library staff. In 2016, students showed their gratitude to representatives of local businesses with painted wreaths on concrete pavers. Last year, the third grade hosted the Kindness Ball, bringing

folks who had made an impact on the lives of students together for a special reception. While the projects and events are all standards based and curriculum focused, third grade teacher

Shawn Fry says there’s much more to these worthy projects. “The real takeaway here is the simple and abundant joy we can bring to some facet of our community,” Fry says.

A Carillon Christmas features historic hearth cooking, roasted chestnuts, gingerbread treats

Carillon Historical Park continues its historic holiday treats by preparing hearth-roasted chestnuts during its month-long holiday celebration, A Carillon Christmas. Transported to Carillon Historical Park from a family farm, the chestnuts are then roasted over an open hearth in the 1815 home of William Morris, a Revolutionary War veteran whose residence stood on a 20-acre farm on West Social Road near Centerville. The Morris House becomes one

half of the Morris & Hetzel Bakery during A Carillon Christmas. It stands alongside the 1817 summer kitchen of Peter Hetzel, a carpenter and co-founder of Moraine’s Zion

Memorial Church. In addition to roasted chestnuts, Morris & Hetzel Bakery also prepares homemade gingerbread cookies. The recipe was pulled from an 1845 cookbook titled The New England Economical Housekeeper. Building off the popular Tavern Dinner series, which features an authentic hearthcooked meal, the historically roasted chestnuts and gingerbread cookies help Carillon Historical Park bring the past to life during the holiday season.

Enjoy the holiday season with safety in mind

Festive meals, flickering lights and holiday decorations are all hallmarks of the holiday season. However, Christmas trees, candles, electrical decorations, and cooking all contribute to an increased number of home fires during December, making it one of the leading months for U.S. home fires. To help everyone enjoy a safe holiday season, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is encouraging everyone to be aware of potential fire risks, and to take steps to minimize them. “Fire can quickly turn this festive time of year into a tragic one,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA’s Outreach and Advocacy division. “Fortunately, when decorating your home and entertaining guests, following some simple safety precautions can go a long way toward enjoying a fire-safe holiday season.” Christmas tree fires are not common, but when they do occur, they›re much more likely to be deadly than most other fires. One of every 45 reported home Christmas tree fires results in a death, compared to an annual average of one death per 139 reported home fires. December also is the peak time of year for home candle fires. In 2016, the top three days for candle fires were Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve. More than half (56 percent) of the December home decoration fires were started by candles, compared to one-third (31 percent) the remainder of the year. While cooking fires are the leading cause of U.S. home fires and injuries year-round, Christmas Day ranked as the second-leading day for home cooking fires in 2016, behind Thanksgiving Day. On Christmas Day in 2016, there was a 73 percent increase in the number of home cooking fires as compared to an average day.

Holiday Entertaining

• Test your smoke alarms and tell guests about your home fire and escape plan. • Keep children and pets away from lit candles. • Keep matches and lighters up high in a locked cabinet. • Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop. • Ask smokers to smoke outside. Remind smokers to keep their smoking materials with them so young children do not touch them. • Provide large, deep ashtrays for smokers. Wet cigarette butts with water before discarding. Before heading out or to bed this holiday season blow out lit candles when you leave the room

and turn off all light strings and decorations.

Holiday Decorating

• Be careful with holiday decorations. Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant. • Keep lit candles away from decorations that can burn. • Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both. • Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for number of light strands to connect. • Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged. • Keep decorations away from windows and doors.

Weekly Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Whisper sweet nothings to receive sweet somethings. This is an excellent week to think up delightful ways to create harmony in romantic relationships. Avoid initiating crucial changes or making major business decisions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Although other people may want to hurry a project along it is in your best interest to remain calm, cool, and collected. Don’t make a business deal into a competition during the week ahead or you will be needlessly frustrated. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone’s words may move you or help you achieve inner peace. There may be a few moments this week when you feel you have connected on a spiritual level. Good communication helps you excel at the workplace. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your affectionate attitude might warm the heart of a partner. Remain sensitive to the rights and feelings of others, especially family members, as this week unfolds. Bonds of affection might easily grow stronger. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Earn success by being focused on achieving your career aspirations. It might seem that the enemies are battering down your defenses, but you hold the high ground. A little romance might be in the stars in the week to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One phase must end before another may begin. Reflect on ways to repair key relationships and you can find just the right words to banish an awkward situation. Use your good taste in the upcoming week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Just because you are a bit stressed or discouraged doesn’t mean you must take it out on others. Show off your compassion and sympathy in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actions speak louder than words, but words can compel someone to take the most beneficial actions. Make it a point to prove you mean what you say. A special someone might be appreciative of your loyalty this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know what happens when the blind lead the blind. Emotional issues can cloud your judgement in the week ahead, so it is a good idea to rely on the best available information before you take a crucial step. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be patient with those who cause agitation during the week ahead. This is not a good week to engage in petty squabbles when an understanding attitude will smooth the way. You can help someone by lending an ear. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tame your trigger finger. You could create an adversary out of an advocate if you are too quick on the draw. Your good taste is at a high point, so this is a good week to focus on surrounding yourself with lovely things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Enjoy immense imagination. Whether you are apart for a few hours or separated by a continent you and a loved one may remain on the same wavelength. Concentrate on creating lasting harmony as this week unfolds.
