I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today's episode is the weekly news roundup for Friday, May 27th, 2022. A lot happened recently, including stories about rental assistance for Montgomery County residents, a new mobile culinary STEAM lab for kids, and some local DPS students earning national recognition. Next week is also the start of Pride Months, and there are a lot of events happening in relation to that that you'll want to know about, so happy almost-Pride Month to you and please stay tuned for last week's news in just a moment.    And now for this week's news:   Well if you're listening to this and you're under the age of 18, you should be aware that the Dayton police are going to be conducting a juvenile curfew sweep tonight, which is to say that any juvenile that is out in public without a guardian from 11pm to 5am will be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor, as will the youth's guardians. This comes in response to the fact that juvenile arrests have been up greatly this year over last year, with there being 774 juvenile arrests so far this year already, which is three times what it was last year at the same time. This is the first curfew sweep police have done in years, and there are many critics of the practice as well who argue that enforcement can be discriminatory and unfairly impact black and brown communities and can lead to increased tensions between police and those communities.    In the wake of the tragic shooting earlier this week of 19 children and two adults at a Texas elementary school, a local man, Dion Green, whose father, Derrick Fudge, was killed in the Oregon District shooting back in 2019, is traveling there to provide support for the families. Green started the FUDGE Foundation to honor his father's memory. Through the help of donations, Green travels to places where mass shootings have occurred to help the families who are dealing with trauma in the aftermath of those shootings. Green is a survivor, victim, and father who explains that the victims of the shooting are a part of his family now and argues for gun-control laws and background checks and getting rid of assault rifles. You can learn more about the foundation at www.fudgefoundation.org.    Well if you're a Montgomery County resident who is in need of rental assistance, there's good news for you from the Montgomery County Commission, which recently approved $1 million in rental assistance to local residents. A county spokesperson explained that the money will go to people who are late on their rent and also receive HUD assistance. The money will be funneled through GDPM, or Greater Dayton Premier Management, which specializes in low-income housing, and will be working with renters who have the greatest amount of debt first. To contact GDPM, call 937-910-7500 or visit gdpm.org.    The City of Dayton may be giving about 58 acres of vacant land to the Five Rivers MetroParks soon. The land in question is what remains of the Foxton Court Apartments, which were damaged beyond repair by the 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes. In exchange, the property would be remediated by Five Rivers MetroParks, which is expected to cost $1.9 million. The land used to be a tree nursery, although the nursery hasn't been utilized since the early 2000s. The city explained that the land in question is in a flood zone as well and should not be redeveloped.    Later today the Dayton International Peace Museum will be holding a ceremony to celebrate its move into a new space at 10 N. Ludlow St. at the Courthouse Square. Some of the museum's board members and founders will speak at the event and attendees can participate in preview tours of the museum after the ceremony. Friday, June 3rd is the museum's official re-open date, however, and their first guest exhibit is “MLK In Color.” Visit daytonpeacemuseum.org for more information about the museum.    Well while I don't often do national news on here, there is one national news item that may be affecting you right now without you knowing it, and that is that Jif brand peanut butter has been linked to salmonella outbreaks and the FDA has issued a recall starting on May 20th. If you have Jif peanut butter with lot numbers between 1274425 and 2140425, you should definitely not eat it, and you can also go online to Jif's website at jif.com and enter in your lot code number for your peanut butter and if it's a match for one of the contaminated jars, they'll send you a coupon for a replacement product.    The House of Bread here in Dayton is seeking a couple of volunteers to help with food distribution from 10:30am to 1:30pm each day. Applicants must be fully vaccinated and be at least 16 years of age. You can email Judith Moore to sign up at moorehob@gmail.com, and that's Moore with an “e.”   The City of Dayton is setting aside $7.6 million of the $138 million that it received in federal funding through the American Rescue Plan Act to help minority-owned businesses in Dayton, most of which will be going towards non-profits that are geared towards helping build up Dayton's minority-owned business community. Of that, $3 million is going towards the creation of an organization that will help business owners, and $1.5 million will go towards the awarding of micro-grants that go up to $10,000. A little over $500,000 of the money is being awarded to five local organizations, including a vaccine clinic, two restaurants, a law firm, and a childcare center. Some groups, such as the Dayton NAACP, however, are critical of the disbursement of funds, arguing that having just 5.6% of those funds go towards minority-owned businesses isn't enough.    Well, some local Dayton Public Schools students recently traveled to Texas to participate in the Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference in Dallas. That group of students are the Ponitz CTC Broadcast News Production Team, who went on to place in the top 10 in the country for news production, so congratulations to them!   In an update to an interview I had with Equality Ohio back on episode 12 of this podcast, the Ohio Statehouse recently heard testimony in a committee hearing last week from two individuals who are part of what the Southern Poverty Law Center labels as hate groups. I would encourage you to go and listen to that episode to learn more about proposed Bill 454, which seeks to end gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ youth. House members also heard testimony recently on House Bill 598, which seeks to criminalize abortions should Roe v. Wade be overturned by the Supreme Court and would make it a felony for doctors to perform abortions and does not include exceptions for rape, incest, or even the mother's health. The Supreme Court's final ruling is expected to be announced late next month.    And finally, to end on a good news note, there's a new business in Dayton called “Just Cakin' It,” which is a mobile STEAM dessert lab. The mobile lab is the brainchild of Dayton Native, Courtney Barrett, and operates Monday through Thursday and serves kids ages 5 through 16. Barrett has been baking since 2017 and the business stems from her work as a substitute teacher and her work in the prison system, where she saw childhood trauma and lack of positive outlets lead to incarceration for many people. She hopes that her business can help young people see the value of education. She was helped in getting her business of the ground by participating in the UD Flyer Pitch Competition, which helped provide seed money for the business. She also participates in the Early Risers Academy through Launch Dayton, which I recently talked to KeAnna Daniels about on this podcast in episode 29. She's looking to partner with schools and other local organizations moving forward, and you can learn more by visiting www.justcakinit.com to find out about educational opportunities and classes.    And now here's what's happening next week and beyond:   Well if you're looking for something fun and free to do tonight, you can check out the movie night at the Dayton LGBTQ Center, which is screening the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which is about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury's life. Visit daytonlgbtcenter.org for more information.    If, however, you're more in the mood for theater tonight, you can attend a performance of “The Old Man and the Moon,” tonight at 8pm at the Dayton Theatre Guild. Ticket prices range from $14 to $21, and you can visit daytontheatreguild.org for tickets and information. There's another screening on Saturday as well at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm..   Another theater option tonight is a performance by The Nerve, which is presenting its show “Friend Art,” by Sofia Alvarez at the PNC Annex from 8-9:30pm. The Nerve is an ensemble-driven theatre company working to build a safe and encouraging artistic community in Dayton where local artists can discover their voices and explore their craft. Tickets are going for $22, and you can visit daytonlive.org for more ticket information.

Tickets go for $45 and can be purchased online at wileyscomedy.com.    Well this weekend on Saturday, May 28th, is National Burger Day, and my friend Alexis Larsen wrote recently in the Dayton Daily News about some of the places locally where you can get a great burger, so I encourage you to check that out! My favorite on the list is probably Slyder's though.    This Sunday, May 29th, at Carillon is the Dayton Heritage Festival, which goes from 12:00-8:30pm. It's free for Dayton History members and $12 per adult or $8 per child. The event celebrates Dayton's history and features special activities, costumed interpreters, and more.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and more information can be found at facebook.com/bozacks.    Also happening Sunday, although a bit pricier, Master Mixologist Mike Jones will be leading a workshop entitled Cocktail Basics Part II: The Cheat Code, where he will explore cocktail basics and explain how to design and craft your own drinks. Tickets are $150, and the event takes place from 4:30-6:30pm at the 1eleven Flavor House downtown.

This next workshop will highlight Jewish food and tickets are still available for $29 at stannescheeseco.com. The workshop goes from 11am to 1pm.    Also happening on Tuesday in the evening from 6-7pm is the BootyMix with the Ninth Beat event, which is taking place at the RiverScape MetroPark.

The show is based on the Tina Fae movie of the same name and will run through June 5th. Tickets are available at daytonlive.org.   And I'm not sure why Tuesday the 31st is so popular in Dayton, but you can also go to the Dublin Pub for their 4-course Bourbon and Cigars Dinner. The event goes from 6-9pm and is a bit pricey at $80 in advance or $90 at the door, but in return, you get a four-course meal featuring hand-rolled cigars from Foundation Cigar, bourbon from Old Forrester, and swag and door prizes. RSVP by emailing tonyg@dubpub.com.    Moving on from Tuesday finally, on Wednesday at Tender Mercy in Dayton from 5-7pm there's a Dayton Homecoming event happening. Dayton Homecoming is the brainchild of The Collaboratory and seeks to inspire former Daytonians to come back to Dayton and non-native Daytonians to consider moving here. You can visit facebook.com/groups/daytonhomecoming to learn more.    Well, June 1st kicks off Pride Month, and there are a number of event celebrating that in Dayton, including one happening Wednesday, June 1st at Branch and Bone brewery, and that is the Pride Beer and Cheese tasting, where proceeds will go towards a Dayton LGBTQ+ charity. The event costs $45 and in return participants will get four five-ounce pours and hand-selected craft cheese boards as well as a limited Pride glass. Visit branchandboneales.com for more information and tickets.    There's another Pride event Wednesday as well, which is the Drag Fest Pride Kickoff event happening at the Brightside Dayton. The event features some of the area's best drag performers, including Katrina Reelfish, Cherry Poppins, Johnny Justice, Kiara Chimera, Landon Cherry, and Mocha Lisa, Featuring Lola Vuitton and Scarlett Chimera. Doors open at 6:30pm and the event kicks off at 7:30pm. I didn't see the event listed on the Brightside's website, however, but there is a long EventBrite URL that you can find in the show notes on my website at discoverdaytonpodcast.com and tickets are $10. Here's the URL: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/drag-fest-pride-kickoff-tickets-338467253667?aff=ebdssbdestsearch   The Dayton Jewish Film Festival kicks off on Thursday, June 2nd, at the Dayton Art Institute with a screening of “That Orchestra With the Broken Instruments.” Before that though there will be a special program with Neal Gittleman, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra's conductor. After that, the remaining screenings will take place at The Neon and will go through June 26th. Visit jewishdayton.org for more information.    Also on Thursday June 2nd, Son Del Caribe will be performing at a free Levitt Pavilion concert starting at 7pm for the Levitt's summer concert series opening night. If you haven't attended a Levitt event before, it's a lot of fun and you can bring your own food and alcohol, although make sure to bring your own blanket or lawn chairs as well. The following day on Friday will feature another performance, this one by the Neo Funk group MojoFlo.

In addition to coffee, they also serve alcoholic drinks. Learn more at whollygrounds.com.    And if that wasn't enough, Thursday night is also another Pecha Kucha event, the first since I interviewed Pecha Kucha organizer Shayna McConville on episode 9 on this podcast. This time the event takes place at Grace Church and goes from 7:30-9:30pm. As always it is free to attend, and you can learn more about PK events by checking out episode 9 or visiting PechaKucha.com/cities/dayton.    And finally next Friday, June 3rd, is the kickoff to the Dayton Pride Festival and the Pride Affair on the Square will take place at Courthouse Square from 6-10pm, featuring live performances, food trucks, and a beer truck as well. The event is free and open to the community, and on Saturday there will be a Pride parade and festival, and more will be happening Sunday as well. Check out daytonlgbtcenter.org/pride for more information.      Well that's about it for this week's News Roundup episode. As a reminder, you can call me at 513-400-3538 and tell me who you'd like me to talk to, why, and leave me a question you'd like me to ask, which I may put into an episode as well. Also, I know I say this every episode, but we still don't have any reviews on Apple podcasts, so on my Facebook page I've created a template for you to use to do so as well as a link to an article on how to do it, so please go do that now! As a reminder please visit discoverdaytonpodcast.com for the show notes to this and other news roundup episodes. Thanks so much for listening, and stay funky, Dayton. 

Full show transcript available at discoverdaytonpodcast.com.    Today's Friday, May 20th, 2022, and it's time for your weekly News Roundup episode, where I read the news so you don't have to. A lot happened this past week, including stories about an uptick in Covid cases, an EPA report about our local waterways, and new inductees into the Dayton Walk of Fame. There's also a lot happening in the future, so you won't want to miss this episode. Things going on today actually start about 30 minutes from this episode's release, so tune in and listen now!  Transcript:   Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today's episode is the weekly news roundup for Friday, May 20th, 2022. A lot happened recently, including stories about an uptick in Covid cases, an EPA report about our local waterways, and new inductees into the Dayton Walk of Fame. You won't want to miss it as there's a lot happening today, including in about 30 minutes from this episode's release, so tune in now!   To start off this week's news I'd like to say Happy National Bike to Work Day! If you're listening to this before 7:00-9:00am you still have time to make it to the Five River MetroParks Bike to Work Day celebration, which is happening this morning. The first 500 riders to register and check in at the event receive a gift, and you can pre-register now online at MetroParks.org. The event takes place from 7:00-9:00am at the RiverScape Metro Park on Monument Ave. and features a free pancake breakfast, live music, a bike expo, and more, so hopefully I'll see you there!   Well in a reminder that Covid-19 is still unfortunately with us, Coronavirus cases in Ohio have been going up steadily for the past 6 weeks in a row, with weekly cases being over 15,000, as reported about a week and a half ago. That's up a lot from where they were at the beginning of April, when the state averaged a little over 3,500 cases per week. According to the Ohio Department of Health, over 7 million Ohioans have gotten at least one shot, but only 3.56 million have received two shots and a booster.    If you remember a while back me talking about Dayton Public Schools possibly reopening the World of Wonder school to serve students who are learning English as a second language, well that plan is now official after school board members voted unanimously to do so this past Tuesday. The school will be open to students in grades K-6 who live in Residence Park, but also open up to 12th grade for English language learners. Superintendent Lolli explained that the school will have separate English-native and English-learner classes, but that those will be combined during lunch, recess, and possibly classes like art and extracurriculars.    Also in DPS news, if you're interested in mentoring a Dayton Public School student, DPS is starting the Transform Career Mentoring Program, which will match about 100 high school students with local mentors. Mentors will be matched with 10th and 11th graders to help them with decisions on things like colleges and careers and mentors and mentees are expected to connect for a minimum of five minutes per week.    The locally-organized TEDxDayton event will be taking place on October 14th, which is a ways out, but more pressingly they are now accepting applications for speakers. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to spreading ideas, and TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. So, if you're interested in being a TEDx speaker, you can apply at tedxdayton.com. Applying is no guarantee to speak, and I would know because I've applied and not made it in the past, but a volunteer-run committee will review your application if you apply and then may invite you to audition. If selected, they'll work with you to prepare to tell your story, so maybe give it a shot!   The Ohio EPA recently released a report about our local waterways that said that they're about as healthy as they were two years ago, although that's not necessarily a great thing. The report is required by the Clean Water Act to be released every two years, and in it they explained that in terms of local waterways, the stretch of the Great Miami from Tawawa Creek in Sidney to where Mad River joins it in Dayton is classified as “not impaired,” but that from Dayton to where it enters the Ohio River it is impaired by polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, a toxic industrial chemical that does not go away easily. The Mad River and Little Miami are also considered impaired by PCBs, although the Stillwater is not. In good news, one section of the Little Miami is being delisted because it meets a different set of cleanliness goals, so it's not all bad news at least completely.    A local Dayton couple is suing rapper Travis Scott after they allege that his Astroworld musical festival last fall resulted in the death of their unborn child, as well as 10 people who also died. The couple, Shanazia Williamson and Jarawd Owens, filed suit against Scott, the festival organizers, and the security companies that were hired, and are seeking over $1 million in damages. They explain in their suit that Williamson was trampled and crushed during the event, which resulted in her unborn child's death. So far, over 700 other concert-goers have filed suit as well, and Rolling Stone reports that nearly 5,000 people suffered some type of injury. Scott denies responsibility and has performed this month for the first time since the tragedy, which also resulted in the death of a UD student, Franco Patino, of Illinois. His family is also filing suit against the rapper.     There were protestors at the Ohio Statehouse on Saturday protesting against the likely adoption of abortion bans by the Ohio state legislature. Those protests were joined by others, including in Xenia and one here in Dayton at the Courthouse Square, where hundreds gathered to protest against abortion bans. In the wake of the leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, many states such as Ohio are considering banning abortion, and in Ohio the bills that seek to do just that are Senate Bill 123 and House Bill 598. Ohio's version of the abortion ban, if it passes, which seems likely, will outlaw abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger or to prevent irreversible bodily impairment of the pregnant person, but no exceptions in the case of rape or incest.    Well it will be at least another year until marijuana is legalized in Ohio fully as state officials recently settled a case with the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, who had been pushing to have their signatures accepted on this year's ballot for voters to weigh in on. In exchange for delaying until 2023, the coalition will not have to re-collect signatures again for next year and the state will accept the over 140,000 signatures they've already collected.    The Carillon Historical Park here in Dayton has some new exhibits you might want to check out now. There is now a new industrial block of buildings on the grounds where you can see an expanded print shop, a new demonstration foundry, a soap shop, and a landscaped plaza where Carillon will hold programs for children. The Gem City Letterpress Company was the first hands-on experience the museum offered to visitors back in 1988, but it's now expanded and will be joined by the new Rubicon Foundry and Air City Soap Company. Paper printing was a big business in Dayton years ago, and Dayton History's Vice President, Alex Heckman, explained to the Dayton Daily News that due to Dayton's location next to the river, there were a lot of of paper mills here in the 1930s, in fact 25 out of Ohio's 36 paper mills were in Dayton, and because it was easier to do the printing next to where the paper mills were, there were 77 paper printing companies at one point as well. If you're interested in getting involved you can volunteer at Carillon as well, simply call volunteer coordinator Kay Locher at 937-293-2841 ext. 102. For more information about the museum, visit daytonhistory.org.    The Dayton Playhouse is bringing back its annual event, FutureFest, for the first time since the pandemic, the event where they produce six previously unproduced plays over the course of three days. FutureFest is a nationally-recognized all-volunteer event, and they received 378 play submissions this year. They have their six finalists who will be performing at the festival selected now, and at the festival those plays will be judged by professional adjudicators. One of the plays is particularly timely, and is called “Griswold,” which is about Estelle Griswold of the Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut, which enabled unmarried couples the right to obtain birth control. You can learn more at wordpress.thedaytonplayhouse.com.    Salem Avenue in Dayton is now undergoing what will likely be over a year-long reconstruction process on the strip between Riverview and North Avenues. A reconstruction is not a simple repaving and actually involves much more work, hence the length of the project. Traffic will be down to a single lane during the construction process, so city leaders urge people to find alternate routes. The rebuilding is overdue, however, as some sections of the underlying base pavement are reported by the city to be over 100 years old. Once reopened, the road will have five lines, with two on each side and a center lane in between, as well as a two-way 10-foot wide cycle track. This is just phase 2 of the entire project, and the final phase 4 is not expected to be done until the end of 2025.    The Dayton Walk of Fame recently inducted some new members, including one of my favorite local bands, Guided by Voices. The walk began in 1996 and recognizes individuals with outstanding achievements in the arts, education, invention, community or military service, philanthropy, and more. The inductees this year as follows: Phyllis G. Bolds - a black woman who graduated from Dunbar High School in 1950 and went on to become internationally-known for her work in aircraft dynamics.  Neal Gittleman - artistic director and conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra for almost thirty years.  Roger Glass - president and CEO of Marion's Piazza who is known for his philanthropy work, including helping to found Equitas Health.  A.B. Graham - who was considered the founding father of 4-H youth programming.  Sharon Rab - the founder and co-chair of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize.  Guided by Voices - known as the “forefathers of lo-fi rock,” who are headed by frontman Bob Pollard. They're still active of course and just this past March released Crystal Nuns Cathedral.  The inductees will be formally inducted and honored at a luncheon at Sinclair in October. Visit daytonregionwalkoffame.org for more information.    Well if you're into BBQ then you're gonna want to hear this next story, but a Dayton woman, Erica Roby, recently competed in World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest in Memphis, Tennessee, where she took fourth place in a competition that the USA Today calls the “most prestigious BBQ contest.” She came in fourth place for ribs out of 104 teams. Roby also competed in the Food Network's season 2 of BBQ Brawl, which she won. If you want to try her BBQ, she plans on cooking for the Yellow Springs Juneteenth Celebration this year as well as having some local popups in August. You can find her on Instagram at @bluesmokeblaire. Also in related news, I will be having an interview with AJ Bauer coming up soon, and he's the owner of Smokin BBQ in the Oregon District, so if you're a fan of BBQ don't miss that one!   Well apparently there's a thief in Dayton who is in possession of a key that can, quote, “unlock all Dayton-area mailboxes,” who has been stealing checks from people. So far the Montgomery County Sheriff's office has reported that at least 26 checks have been stolen from outdoor mailboxes since February. US Postal Service spokespeople say that there is an active investigation that is ongoing, and while they argue that mailing checks is still secure, the sheriff's office is telling people they should go inside the post office to mail checks for the time being.     And finally in our news stories for this week, I actually just got back from a week of birding in northern Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa, which I mention because while I was gone apparently the bird flu popped up in Dayton. The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus has been found in birds locally, which can infect chickens, duck, geese, pheasants, quail, and guinea fowl, and there is no cure. It can infect humans, so City Manager Shelley Dickstein warned recently in a commission meeting for people not to handle dead birds, so stay safe out there if you come across one.     And now for local events happening soon:   Well today, Sideshow, one of the Dayton Yellow Cab's annual shows, is coming back this month today and tomorrow after taking several years off due to Covid-19. This year performers will include Far From Eden, Tino, Nautical Theme, Snake Oil Revival, and more. Ticket information is available at yellowcabtavern.com.   If you're looking for something fun to do with friends tomorrow that has an opportunity to win prizes, then you're in luck, because there's a downtown Dayton scavenger hunt going on, which is being put on by the Downtown Dayton Partnership. The scavenger hunt takes place from 11:00am-5:00pm and starts in the Oregon District but will lead you all over downtown Dayton. Answers will be recorded on a clue sheet, although some hunt locations will require you to text photos of the things you find. The 1st place prize is $300 cash, so nothing to sneeze at. There is a $10 registration fee per team, although in return you receive $10 in Downtown Dollars, which you can use at any participating downtown business. All teams also get entered into a raffle prize drawing as well. There's no limit on the number of people per team. Visit downtowndayton.org to sign your team up and learn more.    Well if you're in town on Sunday, May 22nd, which happens to be my birthday, then you can go to the Branch and Bone brewery's Brunch with Chef Dane event, which is happening from 12:00pm noon until they run out. They'll be serving up dishes like donut breakfast sandwiches, country ham, polenta eggs, and more. Visit branchandboneales.com for more information.    Also on Sunday, Carillon Historical Park hosts its annual “party in the park” event, AKA Fleurs de Fete, from 1:00-4:00pm. The event features over 200 wine samplings and food from local eateries, in addition to live music. Pre-sale tickets are $70 and you must be 21 or older to purchase tickets. Visit daytonhistory.org for more event information.    Another thing happening Sunday is the FreenCommunity Art Workshop: Peace Pole event. For this event the Dana L. Wiley Gallery is teaming up with Front Street for a workshop that allows people to paint a wooden tile that will placed on the Peace Pole at the Dayton International Peace Museum. Materials are provided and the event is free and open to everyone and goes from 2:00-4:00pm. The event takes place at the Dana L. Wiley gallery at 1001 E. Second St, and you can sign up on the Dayton Peace Musem's Facebook page at facebook.com/daytoninternationalpeacemuseum.    Also on Sunday there's an event being put on by the Dayton Woman's Club, which is the Founders' Hall of Fame High Tea event. This event is $25 and features a guest speaker, T. Douglas Toles of Toles Media, who will be talking about Dayton's Founding Mothers.
