The City of Oakwood’s centennial celebration will take place almost two years away in 2008, but now is the time to get involved, say co-chairs Dick Good and Madeline Iseli. “We have been meeting over the summer with a small focus group of Oakwood residents we call the ‘Think Tank’ and now we are ready to share a concept plan with the public, as well as ask for input and volunteers,” explained Ms. Iseli.
Over 3,000 surveys were mailed out to Oakwood households in the most recent issue of the City’s newsletter. The brief, two-page surveys ask for input on such topics as event themes and likelihood of attendance. Residents are being invited to complete and return the surveys to Oakwood City Hall by Monday, Oct. 23. Completed surveys can also be dropped off at the Oakwood Community Center and in the utility bill drop box off Park Ave. Design Forum, a retail design consultancy headquartered in Dayton, has donated its services in the survey design and tabulation.
The survey results will then be shared with the public at the Oakwood Centennial Town Hall meeting on Thursday, Nov. 9, 2006 at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 30 Park Ave. Survey results and conceptual plans will be presented. Refreshments will be served. Town Hall attendees will be invited to comment on the plan and share ideas for the centennial celebration.
“One of the most important goals we have identified for this celebration is that it will involve as many Oakwood citizens as possible,” noted Mr. Good. “The first way to get involved is to fill out and mail in the survey and then to attend the Town Hall meeting on Nov 9. There will also be plenty of opportunities to volunteer as well as simply attend and have fun.”
“This is our chance as a community to pause and reflect on everything that makes Oakwood such a special place,” said Ms. Iseli. “We know our friends and neighbors have lots of thoughts on what makes Oakwood special. We hope they will share those thoughts with us.”
Residents of Oakwood now need not wait for the Antiques Roadshow to come to town to get real market based information about their antiques, artwork and family treasures. The Wright Library has subscribed to the Antiques Reference database and is making it available free of charge at the Wright Library and through the library’s web site, www.wrightlibrary.org, for all library cardholders.
Unlike other reference tools, the Antiques Reference database is focused on the American regional marketplace and does not include the top scale New York and London art and antiques markets. This means Wright Library patrons using the database have a better opportunity to find the types of material seen locally and regionally at auction and retail outlets. Each record includes information on when and where the item was sold as well as the price realized. Pricing information ranges from ten dollars into the millions.
The Antiques Reference database is also unique in having at least one color picture for every record – about 400,000 at the present time (and more are added every day). In addition, each record carries a text description and many have extensive reference notes attached to provide background and context information to the user.
Library patrons may use the Antiques Reference database by inquiring at the Reference Desk at the library or may use it online by accessing www.wrightlibrary.org. They should choose the “Reference Area” option and then the “Antiques Reference” link to the database.
Anyone with questions about the database can call the library at (937) 294-7171.

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 basedon 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 yearIf you have any additional questions, please contact Theresa Caldwell or Ken Perkins at the Public Works Center (298-0777).
