Each TNT member receives personal coaching and group workouts, a mentor who is experienced with the program and who has already completed an endurance event), and a “hero” or local patient who has been diagnosed with a blood-related disease that provides a connection to the cause. Participants choose from walking or running a half marathon or full marathon, cycling a century, or completing a triathlon. The program is designed with the beginning in mind.
Public information meetings are being held beginning Oct. 17. To find out how you can become a Team in Training member, call 436-1143 or visit www.teamintraining.org/soh.

The City of Oakwood is conducting the annual leaf collection program from Monday, October 16 through Friday, December 22, 2006. As in previous years, the program will provide bi-weekly leaf pickups of all areas throughout the city. The city is divided into ten sections with each being collected on a 2-week interval. The leaf collection program follows the same schedule as the brush and branch collection program. Leaves are to be placed in the street gutter and the brush and branch material in the tree lawn (the area behind the curb, just off the street). The two materials must not be co-mingled. Also, please remember that the leaf collection season is limited to the 10-week period in the fall of each year. Leaves should only be placed in the street during the fall program. All other times of the year, leaves and incidental yard debris must be placed with the brush and branch piles behind the curb, or, if in small quantities, with the regular household trash.
The brush and branch map found in the October-November “Oakwood Scene” shows the scheduled dates for these pickups. The city will make every effort to stay on this schedule, but may vary a bit from time to time based on weather conditions and other factors.
To help the city provide the best possible service, please remember the following things:
During the 10-week collection season, all leaves should be raked directly into the street gutter. Please make an effort to do this just a day or two before the scheduled pickup and make sure to pile the leaves in a narrow row to least obstruct the traveled roadway.
Under no circumstance should you place brush, branches or other yard debris in the streetwith the leaves.
Do not bag the leaves - leave them loose.
Do not park vehicles in the street on the day your area is scheduled for leaf pickup.
Do not place pumpkins, corn stalks or bales of straw in with the leaves or your brush and branch materials.
The standard yard debris pickup and dumpster programs will continue through the leaf collection season. However, as in the past, the special pickup program will be suspended from October 16, 2006 until January 3 2007. Please wait until after January 3, 2007 to schedule pickups for the 2007 calendar year.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Theresa Caldwell or Ken Perkins at the Public Works Center (298-0777).

The City of Oakwood’s fall Johnny Appleseed Street Tree Planting Project is now underway. This award winning project will offer five trees to homeowners at a 50 percent discount. They include the Eastern Red Oak, Callery Pear, Frontier Elm, Japanese Lilac and Sugar Maple. One tree will be allocated for each approved property site.
Trees will be planted in the city right of way at the discounted rate and will be wrapped, staked, mulched and guaranteed by the nursery for one growing season.
Planting will take place in late November or early December. Homeowners may also purchase a tree at 100 percent of the cost if a second tree is needed or the homeowner wants to plant a tree on private property. All tree varieties were chosen because of their excellent landscape characteristics including fall color, height, rate of growth, shape of tree, texture and landscape value.
For questions about this project, please call Carol Collins or Brian Caldwell at the Oakwood Community Center, 298-0775.
Oakwood’s Fourth Annual Scarecrow Building Contest deadline for entries is fast approaching! This fun filled fall community event is open to scout troops, church and school organizations, businesses, individuals and families. The more scarecrows we have the more fun the event will be! Pick a theme…. (but nothing too, too scary, please) and start building from there! Make sure you come up with a great name for your scarecrow.
Just think of how neat it was last year to see Shafor Boulevard (Scarecrow Row) filled with scarecrows and cornstalks. This year we hope to see more scarecrows around the community. The more participants we have the more fun the event will be. This will surely add to the ambience of the community and neighborly cheer throughout the fall season.
Registration packets are now available at the Oakwood Community Center business office. Each packet contains the rules and regulations for the program as well as the building guidelines and an entry form to be completed and returned to the OCC for an assigned location. The building and placement of scarecrows will take place on Sunday, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Judging will take place promptly at 3:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place winners.
For questions concerning this event, please call the Oakwood Community Center at 298-0775.
