The Junior League of Dayton announces that physician and author Dr. Julie Silver will speak Thursday, Nov. 16 and Friday, Nov. 17 at 10 a.m. at the Schuster Performing Arts Center as part of the Junior League of Dayton’s Town Hall Lecture Series. Dr. Silver is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and an award-winning author of more than one dozen books focusing on recovery from serious illnesses and injuries.
In 2003, Silver was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38. Following her toxic, though life-saving treatments, she was exhausted and in poor physical health. After rehabilitating herself, she founded a new program called RESTORE that focuses on helping cancer survivors physically recover.
In 2005, her physician colleagues in Massachusetts selected her for a “Top Doctors” award, and in 2006, the American Cancer Society bestowed her with the prestigious Lane Adams Quality of Life award in recognition for her work with cancer survivors.
Single tickets for Dr. Silver’s lecture can be purchased at Ticket Center Stage by calling 937-228-3630 or 888-228-3630 for $30. Student and group discounts are available.
Residents living in and around Dayton can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke. Life Line Screening will be at the Dayton Heart Hospital on Thursday, Nov. 16. The screening site is located at 707 S. Edwin C. Moses Blvd. in Dayton. Appointments will begin at 9 a.m.
Screenings are fast, painless and low cost. Each screening requires ten minutes or less to complete. A complete vascular screening package including the Stroke/Carotid Artery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Ankle Brachial Index (hardening of the arteries) screenings is $109.
For more information regarding the screening or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287. Pre-registration is required.

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?

The City of Oakwood is conducting the annual leaf collection program 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).
All games are played on Sunday afternoons at Edwin D. Smith Elementary School. The league is limited to six teams. Schedule wil be base on final number of teams. Registration deadline is Sunday, Nov. 19 at 5 p.m.
The Oakwood Adult Co-Ed Volleyball League combines recreation and competition in an enjoyable, community setting with an emphasis on good conduct and friendly play. Games are played at Edwin D. Smith Elementary School, 1701 Shafor Blvd. Due to space limitations, the league will be limited, to eight teams. Spaces will be assigned on a first come first served basis after registration opens. There is no guarantee of placement in the league even for returning teams. Registration deadline is Sunday, Dec. 17, 5 p.m.
For more information call the OCC at 298-0775.
