911 call-taker ﬁ red after not sending help for man having apparent stroke Kevin Grasha and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Apartment building at 1500 Groesbeck Road in College Hill, where an elderly man who appeared to have suffered a stroke died in January after a 911 call-taker didn't send help. The call-taker was suspended for what officials called "a serious neglect of duty." ENQUIRER/KEVIN GRASHA

‘Ma’am, he’s gonna die here’: 911 calls released after man’s death Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nearly seven minutes into the 911 call, Gregory Grothaus appeared to realize the call-taker wasn’t going to send paramedics for his elderly neighbor who’d apparently had a stroke but was resisting help. “Ma’am, he’s gonna die here,” Grothaus fi nally said. The call-taker, who remains suspended over her handling of the Jan. 12 call, repeated something she said several times: If the man didn’t want help, there was nothing that could be done. “Well, sir, unfortunately there’s nothing the fi re department or police offi cers can do,” she said in the call, which was released Monday, March 9 by the city.

“They can’t force themselves on him.” The next day, on Jan. 13, 69-year-old Patrick Ward was found dead in his apartment at 1500 Groesbeck Road in College Hill. “I tried and tried and tried,” Grothaus told The Enquirer, recalling his efforts to get help for Ward. “Everybody could’ve done something, but nobody did anything. And it’s pitiful.” Grothaus lives in the same building but on a diff erent fl oor. He said he’d known Ward for a few months. Ward lived alone and was on oxygen. Grothaus called 911 twice on Jan. 12. In the fi rst, he asked for a welfare check. Ward’s health was deteriorating See 911 CALL, Page 2A

The Cincinnati 911 center call-taker who didn’t send help for a 69-year-old man after a neighbor told her the man would die has been ﬁ red, two city sources told The Enquirer. Sherri Willis was suspended over her handling of the Jan. 12 call, during which a neighbor of Patrick Ward told her Ward had suﬀ ered a stroke, that it was “an emergency,” and twice said Ward was “gonna die.”

City Manager Patrick Duhaney told city council members in a March 2 email that Willis’ response to an apparent medical emergency could “best be described as a serious neglect of duty.” During the nearly eight-minute call, the neighbor said that Ward – a Navy veteran who had multiple health issues – might not accept help. Willis went back and forth with the neighbor, telling him that ﬁ rst-responders could not “force themselves on him.” She also told the neighbor to explain to Ward “why he needs help.” Near the end of the call, Willis suggested the neighbor contact a doctor and “let them know what’s going on.” City Manager Patrick Duhaney told city council members in a March 2 email that Willis’ response to an apparent medical emergency could “best be described as a serious neglect of duty.”

Duhaney said Willis’ training would have stated that a person experiencing what appears to be a stroke “must receive an immediate response that is not subject to delay.” Willis had been on the job less than two years. She had been suspended with pay, pending the outcome of a disciplinary process. Duhaney said there were three 911 calls regarding Ward in the days before Jan. 12. Ward’s neighbors told The Enquirer that a police oﬃ cer came to the College Hill apartment building on Jan. 12, talked with Ward and then left, apparently because Ward refused help. Ward was refusing help, neighbor Mark Todd told The Enquirer, because his biggest fear was being sent to a nursing home. “The fact they wouldn’t come help him, really, really, really bugs the (expletive) out of me,” Todd said.

Why Sundermann bears weight of West Side on her shoulders New Cincinnati City Councilwoman is investigating if the West Side is getting its fair share of funding Jason Williams and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati’s heavily populated West Side ﬁ nally has a representative on Cincinnati City Council, and Betsy Sundermann has a message for Westwood and the Price Hill neighborhoods: “I’m listening to you,” the Republican recently said on The Enquirer’s That’s So Cincinnati podcast. Sundermann was appointed to council recently to replace Amy Murray, who left for a job in the Trump administration. She’s the ﬁ rst West Side resident to hold a seat on council since 2009, when then-West Price Hill resident Greg Har-

ris was on council. East Price Hill’s Sundermann has already started to take an in-depth look to see how City Hall treats the West Side. She has asked the administration to provide data on citywide economic development projects to see if the West Side is getting its fair share of funding. “Every time I talk to community councils, they always say, ‘No one’s listening to us at City Hall. They only listen to the East Side and Downtown,’ “Sundermann said. “Now I can go and say, ‘I’m listening to you! Tell me all of your problems.’” Sundermann also talked about helping to restore civility on a council that’s been plagued by inﬁ ghting and scandal. “I don’t have any preconceived notions about anyone,” Sundermann said. “I’m not going into this hating anyone. Everyone’s telling me what I should think about people, but I’m going to make my own decisions.”

Betsy Sundermann is the ﬁ rst West Side resident to hold a seat on the Cincinnati City Council since 2009. PROVIDED

“Every time I talk to community councils, they always say, ‘No one’s listening to us at City Hall. They only listen to the East Side and Downtown.’ Now I can go and say, ‘I’m listening to you! Tell me all of your problems.’” Betsy Sundermann

She added: “I’m going to try my best to get along with people. That doesn’t mean that I’m going to vote for what they want me to vote for. But I’m going to be respectful and I will calmly negotiate things with people are who willing to do that with me.”

911 Call Continued from Page 1A

fast, he said. He also said Ward had previously “refused 911 help.” In that earlier call, which also was released March 9, Grothaus told the call-taker that Ward wasn’t answering his door. Grothaus had heard “mumbling” inside Ward’s apartment and called the Veterans Administration (Ward served in the Navy during the Vietnam War). But no one there was available to help, apparently because it was a Sunday, Grothaus said. “The VA suggested I call you all,” he said. The call-taker said she would send offi cers: “We’ll get them out there.” An offi cer came to the building, talked briefl y to Ward – who refused to leave but who was sitting in his own feces because of the apparent stroke, according to neighbor Mark Todd – and left. Todd said the offi cer told him “there was nothing he could do if Pat didn’t want to go.” During the second Jan. 12 call, a different call-taker, a woman who had been on the job for less than two years, handled the situation with less urgency. City Manager Patrick Duhaney has said her response “can best be described as a serious neglect of duty.” During the call, Grothaus said Ward had a stroke. He said it was “an emergency.” Despite that, when the call-taker heard from Grothaus that Ward might refuse help, she repeatedly said, “We can’t force ourselves on him.” She repeated that phrase half a dozen times during the nearly eight-minute call. She convinced Grothaus and a friend to go to Ward’s apartment, which Grothaus said had feces and urine on the fl oor. At one point, Ward can be heard saying, “I don’t want to talk to ‘em.” When Grothaus asked the call-taker what he should do if Ward was refusing to talk, she responded: “OK, sir… If he does not want assistance, you can’t force him to.” “He’s had a stroke!” Grothaus responded. The following exchange then took place: Call-taker: “You need to have a talk with him…and explain to him why he needs help.” Grothaus: “Even if he’s had a stroke in the past two days?” Call-taker: “They won’t assist him if he’s been saying, no. They can’t force themselves on him.” Grothaus: “Why? Who can’t? Somebody’s got to –” Call-taker: “OK, sir. What you would need to do, like I said, is talk to him and explain to him why he needs help… The fi re department can’t come in and do some assistance when…he’s saying no.” Eventually Grothaus said Ward is “gonna die here.” Call-taker: “OK. So that’s why I’m saying you need to sit there and talk to him and explain to him why he needs help… He has to agree to have help.” Grothaus: “He won’t do that.” The dispatcher eventually asked Grothaus if he could call a doctor “and let them know what’s going on.” The call ended shortly after. The next day, another man called 911, and asked for someone to come get Ward’s body, “since you wouldn’t help yesterday.” Chris Mayhew contributed to this report.

Software innovator Craig Young wins Cincinnati Jeﬀ erson Award Peggy Kreimer Hodgson Rotary Club of Cincinnati

Craig Young, a software developer who is changing the face of volunteerism in Cincinnati and beyond, received the Greater Cincinnati Jeff erson Award for community service. Young, of Anderson Township, will go on to represent Greater Cincinnati as a fi nalist for what is known as the Nobel Prize for community service – part of the prestigious national Jeff erson Awards which will be presented in Washington D.C. June. The local award was presented at the Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s annual Jeff erson Award luncheon Feb. 27 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza hotel in downtown Cincinnati. Young was among three local fi nalists recognized at the event. Angie Ferguson of Monfort Heights was recognized for developing and running the Drug Free Clubs of America program, which rewards and supports students who remain drug free. The program has 11,100 student members in 64 chapters in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. Dan Meyer of Hyde Park, was lauded as a champion of “second chance hiring” for people facing signifi cant hiring challenges, including having felonies or misdemeanors on their record or a history of drug or alcohol abuse. Meyer founded Nehemiah Manufacturing Co., which not only provides stable packaging and manufacturing jobs, but off ers housing, transportation and legal supports for workers and their families. Of the company’s 180 employees, 130 are second chance employees. Meyer also launched the Beacon of Hope business alliance to encourage other businesses to adopt the Nehemiah model. “Each of the fi nalists was outstanding,” said local Jeff erson Awards committee chair Bill Shula of Bethel. “It was diffi cult to choose one from so many nominees and fi nalists who are making such a huge impact on our community.” Young was described as a millennial in a baby boomers body. He had been a successful software innovator and business owner when he decided to sell his business and devote his time to family and philanthropy. He soon found himself back in the business as a volunteer, addressing the alarming decline in volunteerism both nationally and even more drastically in Cincinnati. Young created Ugive.org, which became a hugely popular on-line tool to inspire youth to make a diff erence in their communities. In 2017, Young created “Inspiring Service,” an organization focused on revitalizing the region’s volunteer ecosystem, said Doug Bolton, Inspiring Service CEO, who nominated Young

Jefferson Award ﬁ nalist Dan Meyer, left, winner Craig Young, and ﬁ nalist Angie Ferguson. PROVIDED

for the award. Inspiring Service launched CincinnatiCares.org which includes a unique user-friendly guide to connect people with Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofi ts and their volunteer opportunities. It attracts close to 50,000 users annually and connects more than 150 volunteers to volunteer opportunities each month, said Bolton. The platform is available nationally and is being used in Nevada as nvvolunteerconnect.org. When Cincinnati’s mayor called on Greater Cincinnatians to increase their community service by one hour in 2018, Young contacted the mayor and asked why not push the eff ort beyond a year? Young and Inspiring Service developed GiveOneForCincy.org which the city uses to promote and record hours of community service by Greater Cincinnatians. “I’m inspired by seeing what we can do to help the local community help itself,” said Craig. “The role of the volunteer is more important than ever. We want to make it easy for people to do good.” The Jeff erson Awards program was created in 1972 by Cincinnati native, then-U.S. Senator, Robert Taft and former fi rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The program was designed to be the Nobel Prize for community service. Today, the Jeff erson Awards is a program of the national non-profi t Multiplying Good, which promotes community service and presents the national Jeff erson Awards honoring outstanding service in more than a dozen categories, from service by public offi cials and professional sports fi gures to service by

Redeﬁ ning ‘extraordinary’ Students participate in the Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati’s annual 4-Way Speech Contest Robert Miller

Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati

Sycamore High School student Grace Zhang gave the winning speech at the Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati’s annual 4-Way Speech Contest held in Loveland. PROVIDED

What does it mean to be extraordinary? Isn’t there a little bit of “extraordinary” in all of us? Just ask Sycamore High School student, Grace Zhang, who gave the winning speech at the Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati’s annual 4Way Speech Contest held in Loveland. Zhang went on to say “we are not all measured by one standard and we must look for exceptional characteristics in every person.” Second place winner Linda Krier from Ursuline Academy discussed teen mental health and the need for interventions to reduce teen suicides. Madeline Northup, third place winner from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, talked about religious harmony with references to the Jewish synagogue shootings last October in Pittsburgh. Fourth place winner AJ White from Princeton High School discussed music as an art from and the importance of music education in our high schools. The students received loud applause and a standing ovation from the audi-

ence. Guest judges were Councilmen Lee Czerwonka from Blue Ash and Ted Phelps from Loveland as well as Jim Mayer, President of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce. Czerwonka commented “all four contestants performed their speeches with tremendous poise and originality.” Phelps stated “it is heartening to see teens presenting sustained and sophisticated speeches exhibiting sound reasoning and persuasive presentation.” Each student was required to present an original speech applying Rotary’s famous 4-Way Test, a non-partisan and non-sectarian ethical guide that Rotarians use in their personal and professional relationships. All students spoke without notes or props and were evaluated on their application of the 4-Way Test, originality, organization, and presentation skills. All four contestants received cash prizes and the opportunity to win the Club’s annual $5,000 academic scholarship. The ﬁ rst place winner will now compete at Rotary’s district contest to be held on March 29 at Wright State University in Dayton.

High-school dropouts get assist from Easterseals Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded Easterseals Serving Greater Cincinnati a $1.2 million contract to help high-school dropouts earn their diploma or GED while learning a trade. Easterseals will oversee the YouthBuild program in Hamilton County for three years. YouthBuild gives at-risk youth ages 16 to 24 who left high school before graduating a way to correct that and to learn skills in the construction trades and other in-demand careers. “Many young people who leave high school before graduating quickly realize it wasn’t a good decision for their fu-

ture,” Pam Green, president and CEO of Easterseals Serving Greater Cincinnati, said. “When they come to that realization, Easterseals is here to make sure they can get back on track to meaningful careers and more self-suﬃ cient lives.” Reaching at-risk youth who did not graduate from high school before they turn 25 is critical to their future earnings potential, Easterseals said.

Dropouts and poverty The organization said the U.S. Census show that the poverty rate in Hamilton County for adults 25 and over who did not complete high school is 32.4 per-

cent - double that of adults who completed high school or the equivalent. In the city of Cincinnati, the poverty rate for adults 25 and over who did not complete high school is 44.4 percent, Easterseals said, again double that of adults who completed high school or the equivalent.

ﬁ rst hired in broadcast sales, she was told, point blank, that she was “the token female.” “I then rose to the ranks of one of the few female sales managers, in the very male dominated broadcast industry, and when I ﬁ rst made the transition to the running industry, there were very few of us serving as race directors,” she said. “When life gives you a huge challenge or detour on your journey, just keep moving forward and trust that things will work out as they should. Deborah Gentry Davis of Madeira, vice president of human resources at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati. Davis oversees an annual budget of $2.1 million at Hard Rock, where her responsibilities

include recruiting, compensation, labor relations, team member development, communication and payroll. Davis’ career has been a series of fi rsts. She was the fi rst African American and fi rst woman named vice president of human resources at Structural Dynamics Resource Corporation; the fi rst African American and fi rst African American woman to be named vice president of human resources at JACK Casino in Cincinnati; and currently the only African American female executive at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati. “I reach out to women I work with and for those open to it, try to support them in their aspirations. I also proactively extend

lunch invitations to women outside of my work for this very purpose,” Davis said. Davis said she has persevered through challenges with faith and focus. "My faith has been constant. I pray and mediate daily. I maintained a positive outlook and upbeat demeanor,” she said. “I have always tried to face adversity head on. Having focus and being committed to working through to a solution or goal have served me well.” Brandi N.H.

to get important things accomplished with the support of others,” she said. “The faith that others have in me has not only made me a leader in my career, but has pushed me into uncomfortable spaces that have allowed me to be transformational.” Jennifer Loeb Goodin of Wyoming, executive director of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati. During her 21-year tenure with the organization, Goodin has helped build a world-class “home away from home” for families seeking life-saving medical care for their critically ill children at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Starting with a 20-bedroom house serving 400 families a year, Goodin has overseen three expansions – the last of which will soon result in a 177bedroom house set to serve over 4,000 families annually. The budget has increased tenfold under her leadership, with the most recent fundraising campaign raising $52 million to more than double the size of the house and cover the next four years of operating costs at a facility that will be the largest of the 375 Ronald McDonald Houses around the world. Goodin has mentored more than 60 female employees over the years and is known for her community involvement and care for employees and guests “I believe strongly in

getting out of the way. I like to give others ownership and see what they can do, then celebrate the success,” she said. Roni Luckenbill of Maineville, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. A Girl Scout in her youth, Luckenbill would go on to a 42-year career with the organization. For the past eight years, she has overseen the sixth largest Girl Scout Council in the nation, overseeing more than 150 staff members, more than 11,000 volunteers and nearly 40,000 girls in 32 counties in western Ohio and southeastern Indiana. On the national level, Luckenbill chairs the Cookie Steering Committee, the group that reviews national vendor contracts, business processes and marketing plans – an $850 million enterprise. She’s a member of the Girl Scout Executive Staff Hall of Fame, and serves as president and board member for P.R.A.Y., a national group dedicated to engaging youth and Girl Scouts in faith-based activities. “Girl Scouts encouraged me to be self-suffi cient, but also showed me the power of being a part of a team of strong women. Learning early on about the importance of belonging to and creating communities that are welcome to all was critical to my leadership development,” Luckenbill said. “I truly believe that being able to create communities that are inclusive allows space for more eff ective collaboration, which ultimately leads to a better tomorrow.” Jeanne Rehling-Golliher of Over-the-Rhine, president and CEO of the

Cincinnati Development Fund. Known by some as the “fairy godmother of economic development,” Rehling-Golliher has attracted hundreds of millions of dollars to support transformational projects in Cincinnati’s most struggling neighborhoods. Even before the revitalization of Over-the-Rhine was on the community’s radar, she initiated a partnership with Downtown Cincinnati Inc., the Cincinnati Business Committee, the Federal Home Loan Bank and area banks to launch the Urban Living Loan Fund, which stimulated new housing development downtown and in Over-the-Rhine. Within three years, 164 housing units and 17 commercial units had been ﬁ nanced in once dormant neighborhoods. A former banker and real estate lender, Rehling-Golliher assumed leadership of CDF in 1998. Since then, assets have grown from $200,000 to more than $59 million. Her team oversees nine loan funds and a service portfolio of loans in excess of $239 million. “My father taught me that your integrity is the only thing in life over which you have absolute control. He instilled in his children the understanding that your word is like a glass; once broken it will never hold water again,” Rehling-Golliher said. “I have seen throughout my career that building relationships of mutual trust and respect will get you through almost any challenge.” Verna L. Williams of Pleasant Ridge, dean and Nippert Professor of Law at the University of Cin-

cinnati College of Law. Williams is the fi rst African American to lead the University of Cincinnati College of Law and one of just a handful of African American women to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. A Harvard Law School graduate, she served as vice president and director of educational opportunities at the National Women’s Law Center. It was during her tenure there that she successfully argued a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that established educational institutions have a duty under federal law to respond to and address complaints of student-tostudent sexual harassment. Williams joined the UC College of Law in 2001 and became known as an authority on family law, gender discrimination, constitutional law and social justice. The fi rst African American to serve as dean of the University of Cincinnati College of Law, she helped create The Help Center, Ohio’s only law school housed “law fi rm” that provides aff ordable legal representation and career experience for law school students. “The law is tool of immense, albeit unfulfi lled potential. In practice, I challenged barriers to education confronting too many girls and women,” Williams said. “As a professor, I researched and wrote about those barriers to urge change to law and policy. As a dean, I seek to inspire students to recognize the great power they’re about to have to make change, as well as further this institution’s trajectory of community

engagement.” Mary Zalla of Covington, global president of consumer brands and managing director of Landor in Cincinnati. Zalla was the fi rst female CEO of Landor, the international brandstrategy consultant and design fi rm, but chose to step down to spend more time at home with her children. Soon after settling into her new position at Landor in Cincinnati, she adopted her fourth child. During Zalla’s 21 years with the company, she has worked with major clients such as the Procter & Gamble Co., SC Johnson, Georgia-Pacifi c and Kraft Heinz. She speaks at national and international conferences and writes for prominent publications.

“I have been incredibly fortunate and the beneﬁ ciary of learning from so many talented people,” Zalla said. “And because I’ve almost always worked in very collaborative environments, with people with varying talents and skillsets, I learned fairly early on that yes, you could learn from looking up into the organization, but you could also learn a lot by looking out into the organization.” She also credits her family with teaching her life lessons. “All of my children keep me busy, my 5-year old keeps me young and my three teenagers keep me humble - like it’s their job,” Zalla said. “I am incredibly blessed to be their mother.”

Mixed Greens with Ranch dressing (in jar). RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

A reader asked me how I get inspired to write about food every week. Well, here’s the answer. I ﬁ nd inspiration in the simplest of things. Like recently, when I taught interactive classes with children attending the Kids Kuisine event at Anderson Pavilion on the waterfront in Cincinnati. Headed by Cincinnati Magazine, this fun event beneﬁ ts The Children’s Theater of Cincinnati. This year, one of the tasty recipes the little ones helped make was a layered salad with seasonal ingredients.

We started out with a base of mixed greens, and the kids chose toppings. I had tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, carrots, cucumbers, squash, croutons, chick peas and sunﬂ ower seeds. I thought they’d choose a few, but I was wrong. Every topping was approved and sprinkled on (when you let kids help, even picky eaters become more adventurous). Of course, the dressing was a no brainer. I had them shake up Ranch dressing in a canning jar. Who doesn’t like Ranch? Anyway, when I got home I kept thinking about that salad. It looked so good and I didn’t get a bite. So that’s what I made for supper, and I augmented it with hard boiled eggs.

Or freeze in muffin tins and then pop them out and store in freezer bags.

I had a few wild edibles foraged from a walk in our woods so I added those, too. Take a peek at the salad. I photographed it on the edge of my spring fed woodland pool where watercress grows. Can you see the watercress growing in the water? Along with the watercress, the other wild edibles I added were chickweed and garlic mustard. And what looks like chives garnishing the top are wild onions. OK I need to say you don’t have to “go wild” to make a satisfying supper salad. Produce from the grocery will do just ﬁ ne. But do nudge it up a notch and dress the salad with this yummy homemade ranch dressing.

STOCK CLOSEOUT

Tip: When foraging for wild edibles, a positive identiﬁ cation is necessary. ❚ Mother Nature gifts us with many wild edibles. Know what you’re picking (there are nonedible look-a-likes). ❚ Don’t pick from roadsides or places that may have been sprayed or visited by animals. ❚ If you’re not absolutely sure, don’t pick it. ❚ Clean gently and thoroughly before eating.

Sports LeBron: High school basketball needs shot clock Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Indian Hill’s Maddie Antenucci (13) made First Team in Division II. TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Girls All-District basketball all-star teams announced Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer

Recent instances of Ohio high school basketball teams holding the ball for extended periods have escalated the debate over whether a shot clock is needed, and NBA superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers off ered his opinion via Twitter. James responded to a tweet about Ohio high school basketball needing a shot clock, tweeting: “PLEASE!!!!!!! Like that’s not playing basketball man! Shot Clock ASAP.” Recently, Western Hills High School held the ball for more than seven minutes in a Div. I sectional tournament game against Harrison. James starred for Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School before turning pro. His team was stunned by Roger Bacon High School in the Division II state boys’ basketball fi nal in March of 2002. Last August, James was a guest analyst for an ESPN broadcast of a Major League Baseball game when he said former Moeller High School standout and Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Ken Griff ey Jr. had the greatest swing in MLB history.

USA TODAY NETWORK

SAFE Coalition, to pets belonging to people in the Greater Cincinnati area who are experiencing fi nancial hardships including homelessness. The SAFE (Saving Animals From Eviction) Coalition, spearheaded by IHNGC, helps pet owners in unstable housing situations to remove the barriers of keeping their pets before they become homeless. “This is a cause very close to my heart. As a dog trainer, I know how important a pet can be for someone’s mental well-being. I also know that boredom can be a signifi cant contributing factor of pet behavior issues which not only affects their quality of life, but also aff ects a family’s ability to fi nd and keep low income housing or shelter – while also See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 5B

keeping their pet,” said Desatnik. “One day I was looking at my dog’s unused toys and realized his and other pets’ unused toys could be enrichment for those families who may not be able to aff ord them.” IHNGC has assisted homeless parents and children through emergency shelter and housing services for nearly 30 years with an emphasis on keeping the whole family together during the crisis of homelessness; including single parents, two-parent families, children of all ages, and grandparents. In 2014, IHNGC, with support from PetSmart Charities, built an on-site kennel in its Day Center facility to extend this defi nition of family to include four-legged members. In 2016, IHNGC expanded this service to accept pets for any person experiencing homelessness, not just those served at IHNGC, and works with other social service agencies to see that those individuals access aff ordable, pet-friendly housing. The Pet Support Program now serves 250 to 300 animals annually, and is open to ANY homeless household served by social service providers in the Cincinnati region. These are pets at high risk to enter animal shelters if the program was not available. IHNGC provides on-site kenneling and/or foster homes, pet rental deposits, supportive services, medical care (if needed), food, supplies and referrals for veterinary care for cats, dogs, and other small animals. In addition to directly saving pet lives and preventing additional trauma/loss for homeless families, IHNGC and its partners help ensure pets are spayed/ neutered, vaccinated, and have access to medical care. They help pet owners re-enter aff ordable, pet-friendly housing to prevent future pet surrender and provide case management that includes veterinary referrals, lease/landlord advocacy and pet supplies.

SCHOOL NEWS Finneytown Local School District students celebrate Black History Month “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.” – Dr. Mae Jemison, ﬁ rst African-American female astronaut “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” – Booker T. Washington These are quotes by African-Americans in our storied past who reached a level of success that brought them fame. However, every day and throughout the country, there are African-Americans doing great things. Students in Finneytown Local School District recognized a number of AfricanAmerican role models who forged a path that allowed others to follow and do great things that brought them success. Whitaker students researched and highlighted famous African-Americans who serve as role models for our society. For example, 4th graders learned about African-American scientists and shared facts in groups about them. Finneytown Middle School and High School leaders led a parade throughout the building with signs paying tribute to famous African-American role models in addition to students learning about African-American writers and role models. Brent students read books and wrote about famous African-Americans. Knowing our history and understanding where we come from is an important piece to the present and the future.

Through these experiences, I am obtaining skills that I will need to be successful in the real world.” Drew Jackson, Winton Woods City Schools

recipients of the award honoring the memory and legacy of Kenny Kiﬀ meyer. A 1974 Mt. Healthy graduate, he was also a football player and football coach in Mt. Healthy and the surrounding areas for 40 years. Kenny passed away in 2018 from ALS at the age of 62. This award acknowledges Kenny’s traits as a leader and a coach and seeks to celebrate those traits in others. His passion for the game, loyalty, and dedication in shaping the lives of young men just as many of the current Mt. Healthy Athletic’s coaches do for the young men and women in the district. The presentation of the award was from Kenny’s wife, Sherry Kiﬀ meyer as well as several family members. Tyler Barrett has coached varsity football at Mt. Healthy for six years: offensive line coach for three years, defensive line coach for three years, and served as the Freshmen Head Coach for two years. During the holidays, Coach Barrett takes the football players to Kroger to collect money and canned goods for our district’s Sharing Tree Program. He coordinates the football team’s Draw Down Fundraiser, which allows the team to take a summer trip and helps to

defray the cost of game day meals. Barrett coached seven years prior to coming to Mt. Healthy (13 years total). In addition to coaching football, he coached varsity baseball at Mt. Healthy for four years and junior high girls basketball for two years. Marquaz Nelson, a 2009 Mt. Healthy graduate, has been a member of the Owls coaching staff for seven years. He has a wide variety of coaching responsibilities with Mt. Healthy: Varsity Defensive Backs Coach, Freshman Head Coach, Special Teams Coordinator, JV Defensive Coordinator and Varsity Running Backs Coach. Nelson has also coached in the Southwest Ohio East vs. West All-Star Game. Prior to coaching at Mt. Healthy, he served as a student coach at Tiffi n University. In the last year, Coach Nelson has taken on the responsibility of being the equipment manager. He is also involved with the annual Sharing Tree Program. He also takes our student-athletes on college visits. This award will be given annually to a football coach in the Mt Healthy School District for the next fi ve years. Missy Knight, Mt.

Saint Ursula students participate in Mayerson JCC’s Film Festival Two Saint Ursula students were excited to be part of the Mayerson Jewish Community Center’s “Jewish and Israeli Film Festival” this February. This festival featured the best of the thriving independent fi lm industry, showcasing established and emerging fi lmmakers and provocative, humorous, inspiring, and enlightening fi lms across Cincinnati. The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, in partnership with the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, worked with area high school students, including Saint Ursula’s Yasmeen Porter ‘22 of Woodlawn and Alysa Christian ‘21 of Forest Park to help them develop skills including creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. They wrote monologues based on the stories of Holocaust survivors who settled in Cincinnati. They performed these monologues at the Holocaust and Humanity Center before the screening of “Witness Theater” as part of the fi lm festival.
