Oakwood Safety Officer and wildlife expert Tim Harrison will be signing his second book, Wildlife Warrior, at the Dayton Mall branch of Barnes and Noble bookstores on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 4 p.m.
Harrison has written a truly fine second effort and his many stories of encounters with snakes, wolves, tigers, mountain lions and monkeys of all stripes will convince more than one reader that wild animals belong in the wild and not in peoples homes.
Harrison tells many a cautionary tale and uncovers the real story behind the relatively recent death of a Dayton firefighter who let his guard down and was bitten by his own pet rhinoceros viper snake. Other stories are laced with humor but still carry a tinge of caution with them.
The public is invited to attend this book signing and hear first-hand some of Harrison’s “Suburban Safari” tales.

Oakwood’s Wright Memorial Public Library knows it’s hard for book lovers to keep track of titles they might enjoy - whether newly published or older classics. That’s why the library is making a service available that delivers news about books directly to patrons’ email boxes. Newsletters range from bestseller lists to new fiction and nonfiction to genre fiction (e.g., mystery, romance and science fiction) and more. Newsletters devoted to teens’ and children’s books are also available. Library patrons can sign up for as many newsletters as they would like at no charge. Most newsletters are sent monthly. To see the full list of e-newsletters available from Wright Library and to subscribe, visit www.wrightlibrary.org and click on “BookLetters sign-up.”
Each newsletter usually presents two to six titles with a brief description of each. Subscribers can link directly from the description of the book to the library’s catalog where they can request the title and be notified when it is available.
Book lovers too busy to sit down with a book might want to subscribe to Chapter A DayTM and receive an audio recording of a book chapter every day in their email box. Members of book groups may enjoy “Book Club Choices,” which provides monthly news about paperback choices sure to promote lively discussion.
The BookLetters newsletters are also available on the library’s Web site for viewing at any time. “Using Web and email technology to reach out to book lovers is a logical extension of library service,” said library director Ann Snively. “We need to make it easy for people to take advantage of the library’s resources. Emailing our patrons with news about books is one way for the library to meet the needs of busy people. I encourage everyone to visit Wright Library’s Web site and sign up for BookLetters today.”
Wright Memorial Public Library is located at 1776 Far Hills Avenue in Oakwood. Questions?

It is never too early to introduce your child to books. Wright Library is offering a fall session of Toddler Storytime, a seven-week program for two year olds and their caregivers. Children and adults will have fun listening to stories and participating in simple games led by children’s librarian Mrs. Rose. Each program lasts about thirty minutes and takes place in the Library’s Children’s Room.
Registration begins on Monday, Oct. 23. Patrons can register in person or by calling the Children’s Room at 294-7171. Please register for either the Tuesday or the Thursday time slot and note the new time. The session dates are: Tuesdays, Oct. 31-Dec. 12, at 10:15 a.m. or Thursdays, Nov. 2-Dec. 14 at 10:15 a.m.
The City of Oakwood is conducting the annual leaf collection program from Monday, October 16 through Friday, December 22, 2006. 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 street gutter with 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 willbe 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 deadline is Sunday, Nov. 5. This award winning project offers a choice of five trees to homeowners at a 50 percent discount. They include the Eastern Red Oak, Callery Pear, Frontier Elm, Japanese Lilac and Sugar Maple. 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. The cost to the homeowner at the discount rate for a 1 3/4/” – 2” diameter tree ranges from $72 to $79.
For questions about this project, please call Carol Collins or Brian Caldwell at the Oakwood Community Center, 298-0775.
