‘WORLD OF TROUBLE’

awaits homeowners when mortgage program ends Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Sister Barbara Busch doesn’t mince words when assessing the outlook for many local residents in the federal mortgage forbearance program set to expire at the end of this year. “Many people are going to be in a world of trouble, there’s no question about that,” said Busch, executive director of the HUD-certifi ed housing counseling service in South Cumminsville. Busch said she’s seen some disturbing trends among local residents fl ocking to her organization for help in the wake of COVID-19-induced business shutdowns and job losses. Many of her clients signed up for mortgage forbearance plans initiated by the federal government under the CARES Act at the start of the pandemic to give struggling homeowners some fi nancial breathing room. The program allows borrowers with mortgages backed by governmentsponsored entities like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to delay monthly payments for up to six months without penalty, after which they can request an additional 180 days, if needed.

Forbearance is not forgiveness But homeowners in forbearance will eventually have to make up those deferred payments or risk losing their homes. A moratorium on foreclosures on federally backed single-family properties expired at the end of August. And Busch fears hundreds of her clients, many of whom work in blue-collar industries hardest hit by the pandemic, simply won’t be able to repay missed payments and be forced to default on their loans. “In December, when the federal order is gone, we’re going to see a huge number of ﬁ lings for foreclosure,’’ Busch said, noting that a second round of stimulus payments or an extension of the federal forbearance program seem unlikely before the end of the year. Busch has encouraged her clients with the ability to pay to start planning

to exit forbearance and work out loan modifi cations with their lenders to make repaying the money less of a fi nancial hardship. But even some clients with jobs and other regular income are reluctant to resume making mortgage payments because they’re uncertain about their futures. “I’ve been told: ‘I’m in forbearance, but I don’t want to want to start the loan-modifi cation process because I’m afraid I’ll lose this (deferred payments) and be worse off ,’ ” Busch said. It’s impossible to know how many homeowners in Ohio or Cincinnati might be aff ected by the expiration of the federal forbearance program because mortgage servicers aren’t required to break their forbearance requests out by state or local area.

Millions still in forbearance But millions of Americans are still in COVID-19-related forbearance plans, according to mortgage technology and data analytics ﬁ rm, Black Knight. The company reported roughly 3.7 million homeowners remained in forbearance plans by mid-September, down from a peak of about 4.7M in late May. And those in forbearance represented about 7% of all mortgages, and $781 billion in unpaid principal.

Those numbers worry Jay Pascoe, executive director of the Ohio Mortgage Bankers Association. The organization sent a letter to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine over the summer outlining their concerns about forbearance. Pascoe said many homeowners were

successfully seeking forbearance who didn’t need it, unnecessarily putting their homes in jeopardy. “If a homeowner can make their mortgage payment, they should do so,” Pascoe told The Enquirer. “By seeking See MORTGAGE, Page 2A

Here’s what the new Western Hills Viaduct could look like Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The city’s plan for a new Western Hills Viaduct includes 150-foot towers and a protected path for cyclists and pedestrians. City Manager Paula Boggs Muething detailed the proposed design in a recent memo to Cincinnati City Council. The city and county are on board with the design, Muething wrote, and if all goes according to plan, construction could start as early as 2022. But for those wary of waiting for the new bridge to ﬁ nally, ﬁ nally come to

grants and local funds – but for the rest, the city and county “will continue to aggressively pursue” funding, Muething wrote. There is expected to be some money from the new sales tax passed in May to support Cincinnati Metro. Oﬃ cials have been talking about replacing the Western Hills Viaduct since 2009. If construction starts in 2022 and sticks to the proposed timeline, according to Muething’s memo, the new bridge would still not open until six years later in 2028.

Mortgage Continued from Page 1A

unnecessary forbearance on a mortgage an individual can clearly aﬀ ord to pay, it could possibly result in a ﬁ nancial hardship down the road when those missed payments must be repaid.”

Payback could hurt The way homeowners with deferred mortgage payments are required to pay back missed payments will be more onerous for some than for others. The CARES Act prohibits the federal government from a collecting lump sum repayment at the end of forbearance. But the government can still collect in other ﬁ nancially burdensome ways, such as asking borrowers to increase their current mortgage payments to repay the deferred amount over time. In addition, about 30% of loans nationwide are owned by private investors and not secured by federal backing. The owners of those loans are calling the shots and could request repayment all at once. Based on her negotiations with lenders, Busch said, she thinks most homeowners in forbearance will be asked to make additional monthly payments. That’s still going to be a challenge for many of her clients, she said. “If they can’t aﬀ ord their current mortgage, the chances that they can essentially make payments on two mortgages in December aren’t good.’’ A recent survey gives some idea of how many Ohio homeowners continue to struggle.

Many Ohioans doubt ability to pay

At the end of September, more than 300,000 homeowners statewide said they either had “no conﬁ dence” or only “slight conﬁ dence” in their ability to make October’s mortgage payment, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey. And only about a third of those respondents said they could continue to count on jobs and other income to pay their mortgage bills, according to the weekly survey being conducted since April to see how COVID-19 is impacting

people’s lives. The rest were depending on credit cards or loans, using money from savings or selling assets, borrowing from friends and family or utilizing stimulus money or unemployment beneﬁ ts. That can’t last, according to Frank Martell, president and CEO of housing data tracker, CoreLogic. “Americans continue to tap into savings to stay current on their home loans,” Martell said. “However, given the unsteadiness of the job market, many homeowners are beginning to feel the compounding pressures of unstable income and debt on personal savings buﬀ ers, creating heightened risk of falling behind on their mortgages.” CoreLogic’s latest research on mortgage delinquencies indicate many homeowners are already on the precipice of foreclosure. CoreLogic’s Loan Performance Insights for July 2020 reported that serious delinquencies – those 90 days or more past due – reached 4.1%, its highest rate since April 2014. In Ohio, the share of seriously delinquent mortgages more than doubled to 3.6% from 1.6% in July of 2019. And the Cincinnati metro area saw serious delinquencies climb to 3.2% from 1.4% over the same period, according to the report, which includes bor-

rowers in a forbearance program who have missed mortgage payments.

Don’t expect repeat of Great Recession Even if many of those delinquent loans end up in foreclosure, the Cincinnati area likely won’t be subject to the same kind of carnage that crushed home prices and led people to simply abandoned their homes during the last recession, according to Donna Deaton, a veteran realtor with ReMax Victory in Liberty Township. “We’re going to see some foreclosures. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s not going to be as ugly as it was in the past,” Deaton said, noting that homeowners are in much better shape now. Growth in housing demand, and a lack of inventory and new construction has forced buyers to bid up prices on available homes for sale, The Enquirer previously reported. That means that homeowner equity is also up, and people are unlikely to give up their homes and the equity they’ve built up in them if they can avoid it, Deaton explained. Still, she acknowledged the longer the COVID-19 crisis plays out and the economy continues to sputter, the greater the risk of a foreclosure crisis becomes.

Green Twp. ﬁ reﬁ ghter Mike Weissmann dies after battling kidney disease Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Green Township fi refi ghter who was battling chronic kidney failure died Oct. 28. Mike Weismann’s death was unexpected because he was on the road to recovery after receiving a donor transplant, according to a Facebook post by Green Township Fire & EMS. On Oct. 27, he was putting up Halloween decorations with his family, offi cials say. “Although his health had not yet risen to a level where he could come back to work, the donated kidney gave him a new lease on life; one where he could once again get out and take walks, and return to his hobbies which lifted his spirits,” the post stated. Ten months ago, the Enquirer

reported Weismann was suff ering from kidney failure and was undergoing dialysis until he could fi nd a donor. The Northside native and father of two had already been on the kidney transplant waitlist for six months. After asking for the community’s help and searching for a donor within the fi re department, he found a match. The June 22 transplant was successful. Weismann started working as a part-time fi refi ghter and paramedic for Green Township in 2000. He was promoted in 2006 to a fulltime position and has spent the majority of his career at Station 55 in Monfort Heights.

A 34-year-old man already facing drug possession charges has been indicted in connection with a vehicle crash in May that killed a pedestrian. A Hamilton County grand jury on Oct. 26 indicted Ronald Staff ord, of Westwood, on aggravated vehicular homicide and driving while intoxicated charges. The crash happened the afternoon of May 9 on Elberon Avenue in East Price Hill. Police said Staff ord was driving a 2012 GMC Terrain north on Elberon when he struck 58-year-old Rickey York, who was crossing Elberon Avenue. York was pronounced dead at the scene. Staff ord then drove the SUV off the right side of the street and struck a utility pole, according to police. Stafford, who police said was not wearing his seatbelt, suff ered minor injuries. York was a longtime employee at Santorini Family Restaurant in Cheviot, where he worked as a dishwasher, according to a GoFundMe page set up for him. He was on his way to work when the he was struck by the SUV. Two months before the crash, in March, Staff ord was accused of choking a relative and charged with domestic violence. In August, that charge was dismissed, but Staff ord was then indicted on charges he possessed drugs including cocaine and fentanyl. The drug case remains pending.

Instructions

I was hoping to ﬁ nd some turkey wings at the grocery to make my do-ahead freezer turkey gravy (a ﬂ avorful gravy which can be used alone or added to turkey drippings). There weren’t any in the poultry case, but I did see some nice boneless pork chops on sale, so those went into my cart. My original thought was a simple dinner of fried pork chops, and sliced fried garden potatoes. Somehow by the time supper rolled around, the fried pork chop idea lost its appeal. So I cut the chops up into bite-sized pieces for sweet and sour pork, the kind in Chinese restaurants. I had a couple bell peppers in the refrigerator, plus a can of pineapple chunks in the pantry, and I always have rice on hand. I was good to go. Here’s the recipe and it’s pretty simple. Originally made with chicken, pork chops or pork tenderloin make good substitutions.

Whisk together salt, flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Whisk in egg, oil and water until batter is smooth.

Deep-fried pork just out of the oven.

The one thing I’ll caution you about is that the small pieces of meat cook real quick, regardless if you use pork, or chicken, so don’t overcook or they’ll tend to be dry. The batter coating puﬀ s up as the pork fries and is golden brown and crispy. Readers weigh in: Zuppa Toscana soup: Stephen S. had this to say: “Fantastic and delicious. New favorite.” Mississippi pot roast: Dave L.’s comments: “Finally got around to making the easy version. Family absolutely loved it and they are not big fans of pot roast!”

Dip pieces in batter. Drop carefully into hot oil (350-375 degrees or until a little cube of bread fries golden in a few seconds). Fry about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and meat is cooked through. Set aside on warm platter while cooking peppers and pineapple. Remove most of the hot oil from pan (careful here), then cook peppers and pineapple a bit until peppers are crisp tender. Pour sweet and sour sauce into pan with peppers and pineapple. When sauce gets hot, add cooked pork and toss everything gently to coat. Serve with rice.

New Ohio law makes pandemic drinks-to-go permanent

Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – Carryout cocktails will continue in Ohio after the threat of the novel coronavirus is gone. Gov. Mike DeWine signed a pair of alcohol-related bills on Oct. 13. One made permanent a rule allowing bars and restaurants to sell drinks with to-go meal orders. Carry-out drinks were approved in early April as a way to support the struggling bar and restaurant industry after dining rooms were closed in March. The new law allows customers to order up to three drinks to go with a food order. Drinks must be sealed before sale and cannot be consumed on the premises. Bars and restaurants were forced to close their dining rooms in March, have been limited in how many people they can serve since May and were barred from sales after 10 p.m. since July. A recent Ohio Restaurant Association survey of restaurant owners and operators found 4 out of 5 won’t break even this year. Half don’t expect their business to survive into 2021 if conditions don’t change. The law also allows liquor permit holders to expand the area where they sell alcoholic beverages and outdoor spaces where patrons can drink through Dec. 21, 2022. The second alcohol bill was sponsored by Rep. Catherine Ingram, a Democrat from the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Auburn, as a way to help alcoholic ice cream makers like Maineville's Buzzed Bull Creamery broaden their reach. The new law allows ice cream makers to ship their boozy concoctions to customers and stores licensed to sell beer and liquor. A bevy of alcohol provisions were added to the bill, including doubling the number of outdoor refreshment areas for municipalities with less than 50,000 residents. Bars and restaurants can expand alcohol sales in spaces adjacent to the property, but only until DeWine ends his state of emergency or Dec. 1, whichever comes fi rst. A microdistillery can now sell four 750ml bottles of liquor per customer per day instead of two bottles. Both laws took eff ect immediately. The bills received some pushback from addiction support groups and others concerned about the expansion of Ohio's alcohol laws without evaluating all the eff ects.

SPORTS Ohio prep football ﬁ nals sites TBD; soccer at Mapfre Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has ﬁ nalized details for several upcoming state tournaments with boys and girls soccer remaining in Columbus, but girls volleyball shifting sites. Also, the OHSAA will be using neutral sites for the state semiﬁ nal and championship games with those locations to be determined this week.

Soccer state championship at Mapfre Stadium In partnership with the Columbus Crew SC, the OHSAA girls and boys soccer state championship games will once again be hosted at MAPFRE Stadium in

Columbus. The girls fi nals will be Friday, Nov. 13, followed by the boys’ fi nals on Saturday, Nov. 14. The OHSAA applauded the Crew SC for working with the OHSAA to make it possible for the fi nals to remain at MAPFRE Stadium, where they have been since 1999. “We would like to thank the Crew SC for being such a great partner during these uncertain times,” said Kathleen Coughlin, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and soccer administrator. “Due to the attendance restrictions this year, we didn’t know if it would be possible to have our fi nals in such an outstanding venue, but the Crew SC made it happen and we couldn’t be happier to once again crown our soccer state champions at MAPFRE Stadium.” The stadium will be cleared and cleaned after each game.

Volleyball tournament to be hosted by Vandalia-Butler High School The upcoming volleyball state tournament will take a hiatus from the Nutter Center at Wright State University and be hosted by Vandalia Butler High School. In addition, the event will move to a Friday-Saturday-Sunday format (Nov. 13-15). School will not be in session at Butler High School that Friday. “We are very thankful that Butler High School stepped forward to host our volleyball state tournament,” said Emily Gates, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and the volleyball administrator. “We look forward to our return to Wright State University in the future, but with the small number of fans who can attend this year, we needed to ﬁ nd a

smaller venue that was still an exceptional site. We found that at Butler High School and are very excited to work together on this great state tournament.” The facility will be cleared and cleaned after each match, so the state tournament schedule will be adjusted to the following: Friday, Nov. 13: Division II semifi nals at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Division I semifi nals at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov.14: Division IV semifi nals at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Division III semifi nals at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15: Division II fi nal at 9 a.m.; Division I fi nal at 12:30 p.m.; Division IV fi nal at 4 p.m.; Division III fi nal at 7:30 p.m. See FINALS, Page 2B

The 2019 Coaches Classic featured nearly 50 schools and hundreds of wrestlers from Ohio and Northern Kentucky at Harrison High School.

COMMUNITY NEWS Great Parks harvests seeds to preserve native plant species with help from MadTree Brewing Great Parks of Hamilton County harvested hundreds of thousands of seeds with the help of volunteers from MadTree Brewing at the Shaker Trace Nursery in Miami Whitewater Forest on Friday, Oct. 9. Shaker Trace Nursery, located at 8667 New Haven Road in Harrison, is home to more than 200 species of plants used for habitat restoration projects. The nursery specializes in seed that is not only native but also speciﬁ c to the local ecotype. “Harvesting native seeds is an important part of our focus at Great Parks to preserve and restore natural greenspace such as prairies and meadows,” said Tim Osborne, nursery technician for Great Parks. “The work we do here, from planting to processing, would not be possible without the dedication of volunteers.” Each year, Great Parks harvests an average of 300 pounds of native seed and germinates and grows up to 10,000 new plants for the nursery beds each year. Native plants at the nursery include milkweed, swamp thistle, purple giant hyssop, whorled rosinweed and others. Plants at the nursery have a high capacity to host native insects and other wildlife. Great Parks grows these plants at the nursery and enlists the help of volunteers to harvest seeds and store them in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment until needed. MadTree Brewing has joined Great Parks for the 1% for the Planet initiative, a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through annual membership and everyday actions. 1% for the Planet brings “dollars and doers” together to accelerate smart environmental giving. MadTree has pledged volunteer hours and sponsorship dollars to help Great Parks achieve its sustainability initiatives.

Beech Acres CEO Jim Mason to retire after 42 years of service Jim Mason, who led Beech Acres Parenting Center through an incredible evolution of purpose and programs focused on strengthening families so children can achieve their unique potential, will retire from his role as president and CEO in June 2021 after 42 years of service to the agency. “I am very grateful for what we’ve accomplished together as staff , Mason board, donors, and community partners,” Mason said. “And I am very enthusiastic about life’s next chapter with my wife, Debby, our three terrifi c kids, their spouses, and eight fabulous grandkids. I look forward to lots of fun with family and friends, while embracing new opportunities for meaning and contribution. I leave a fi nancially strong organization with a

mission-driven, innovative staff and board as the solid foundation for a new CEO to co-create new levels of impact I can’t even imagine,” Mason said. Long ago anticipating modern society’s complex and rapid changes, Mason led the former General Protestant Orphan Home through its evolution from a 19th century orphanage to the 21st century parenting center it is today. Each of several transformations under his stewardship had the eff ect of deepening and expanding its mission, while shifting the approach from fi xing children’s defi cits to building on their strengths. It was his vision that led the creation of Beech Acres’ proprietary Natural Strength Parenting model, upon which all of its individual programs are based. Natural Strength Parenting is the embodiment of Mason’s unique philosophy and provides parents and teachers with the tools to intentionally build on their child’s innate strengths by mindfully

doing so. Mason has overseen the expansion of Beech Acres’ reach into the community to achieve greater impact on the lives of parents and children, which has led to solid investments in schools, health care and child welfare. The highly committed and talented team of Beech Acres staﬀ now makes a positive impact on more than 13,000 children, parents, teachers and health care providers in Southwest Ohio each year. He also partnered with other community leaders to create numerous local, state and national coalitions designed to improve service quality for vulnerable children and their families. His leadership in the community and state of Ohio has been recognized by several groups, including the Ohio Children’s Alliance, NAMI Southwest Ohio, PreventionFIRST, and Vistage International’s CEO Lifetime Achievement Award.

SCHOOL NEWS C.O. Harrison Elementary named one of nation’s top schools C.O. Harrison Elementary School has been named a national Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, a designation earned by just 6 percent of the nation’s public, private and parochial schools since the Blue Ribbon program began 38 years ago. The 900-pupil school in Delhi Township was nominated for the award by the Ohio Department of Education for its exemplary academic performance. The school received an overall grade of A on the 2018 and 2019 Ohio School Report Cards, an honor earned by just 6 percent of Ohio schools. It is the second Oak Hills Local School District school to recently win the award, after J.F. Dulles Elementary was named a Blue Ribbon School in 2018. Last spring COH was also named the StEP (Student Enterprise Program) School of the Year by the University of Cincinnati Economics Center for the high quality of its fi nancial education program and for its charitable giving. Brian Conners is the school’s principal and Amy Marquette is the assistant principal. “C.O. Harrison is known for an instructional program of the highest caliber, but also for happy and engaged students and a staff that loves learning and loves children,” said OHLSD Superintendent Jeff Brandt. “It is a school deserving of national recognition.” Krista Ramsey, Oak Hills Local Schools

MSJ, UC teams help Nobel Peace Prize winner Mount St. Joseph University and University of Cincinnati have been raising donations for the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the UN World Food Program. The World Food Program (WFP) was just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its heroic eff orts to feed the hungry in war zones. WFP is leading hunger relief in Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, D.R. Congo, the Central Sahel, Latin America and many other areas suff ering from hunger. The WFP is a truly international food for peace eff ort. The WFP relies entirely on voluntary donations from governments and the public. Both the Mount and UC, through

their FreeRice teams, raise donations for WFP. FreeRice is an online educational game where every correct answer leads to a donation of rice to WFP, paid for by advertisers. The Mount and UC have been holding FreeRice matches against each other and other schools including the Autumn kickoﬀ won by MSJ. UC was second followed by University of Illinois, Auburn, Cal Poly and Ithaca College. The Mount team was started by senior Grace Hauserman and is coordinated by Campus Ministry director Michelle Arnold. MSJ students, staﬀ and alumni are encouraged to join the team by contacting Campus Ministry. The UC squad is led by cross country runner Maggie Breitenstein. Students, faculty and alumni are encouraged to join the team by contacting breitemt@mail.uc.edu WFP director David Beasley says “The Nobel Peace Prize is not WFP’s alone. We work closely with government, organizations and private sector partners whose passion for helping the hungry and vulnerable equals ours. We could not possibly help anyone without them.” That help is needed more than ever this year because the coronavirus has made the hunger crisis even worse in nations impacted by war and climate change.

The ninth annual DePaul Cristo Rey Golf Classic was held Sept. 28 at the Western Hills Country Club. The winning foursome (from left): Peter Kelly, Chris Dibattista, Alan Lenahan and Nick Reilly. PROVIDED

Both the Mount and UC will continue their part in supporting the WFP and saving lives from hunger and malnutrition. William Lambers

Sold-out DePaul Cristo Rey Golf Classic is a success A love of golf and a passion for supporting students brought over 100 golfers to the Western Hills Country Club to play in the ninth annual DePaul Cristo Rey Golf Classic on Sept. 28.

Thanks to Golf Chair Dick Haglage, generous sponsors and eager golfers, the event was a sellout and raised over $60,000 to support the DPCR Tuition Assistance Fund. This event is an important source of support because every student attending DePaul Cristo Rey receives ﬁ nancial aid. Fast Park & Relax was the Presenting Sponsor; the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati and Terra Firma Associates were the Gold Sponsors. Margee Garbsch, DePaul Cristo Rey High School
