Cincinnati: A city of renters who can’t pay the rent Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

They begin lining up in the cold outside the Hamilton County Courthouse around 8:30 a.m., men, women and children bundled in winter coats, all shuffl ing slowly toward the same heavy glass doors. Once inside, they empty their pockets into plastic containers at the metal detectors and walk across the lobby to Room 121, where they pause to fi nd their names on a computer printout taped to a wall. At the top of the page, in bold capital letters, is the reason everyone is here. “EVICTIONS.” It’s a Tuesday in late January and eviction court is getting crowded. Some people pace the back of the room alone. Some sit on wooden benches with a husband or wife, or with kids whose feet don’t reach the fl oor. All are about to confront the same cruel irony: Cincinnati is a city of renters. Cincinnati is a hard place to be a renter. The court docket lists 48 people who are days away from losing their homes, most for failing to pay the rent. One is a single mother from Westwood named Page Berry. Berry is 27 and works nights at the airport, fi ve days a week, loading and unloading freight from cargo planes. She makes $17 an hour, more than she’s ever made in her life, but some months it isn’t enough. Two weeks before Christmas, Berry returned home from work in the morning to fi nd an eviction notice taped to the door of the basement apartment she shares with her three daughters, ages 7, 8 and 9. At fi rst, Berry thought it was a mistake. She’d been late before with the $649 rent, but the building manager had always given her a few extra days in exchange for a $75 late fee. She peeled the notice from the door and read it again in the early morning gloom, just to be sure. “You are being asked to leave the premises.” See RENTERS, Page 2A

Why Sundermann bears weight of West Side on shoulders 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

Sundermann

seat on council since 2009, when then-West Price Hill resident Greg Harris 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.” Find out more about Sundermann by listening to her in-depth chat for free on That’s So Cincinnati.

done to build a life in their apartment was in jeopardy. A sudden move could cost her daughters their school and Berry her job. That was the trouble with aﬀ ordable housing in Cincinnati. Berry had found it wasn’t always affordable for a single mom who made about $30,000 a year, after taxes, and it often wasn’t in a good location for parents trying to raise kids in a safe place near a decent

with renters accounting for 62% of all households. Like Berry, almost half are considered burdened renters because they spend at least 30% of their income on housing. What that means for the city is this: Every month, about 88,000 Cincinnatians – almost 1 of 3 city residents – are in danger of losing the roofs over their heads. And every year, about 4,500 are forced out by eviction. Berry’s journey to Room 121 began in December. She knew the month would be a challenge because her biweekly paycheck wouldn’t arrive until after the rent was due. That happened sometimes, but this time other expenses popped up that put her in a deeper hole. She’d spent $100 on winter clothes for the girls, who had outgrown the previous winter’s coats and sweaters, and $80 on two used tires for her used 2012 Toyota Camry, which barely survived an encounter with a

guardrail after skidding on the ice a month earlier. Something had to slide until her paycheck arrived. Berry couldn’t risk losing her car to repossession, because that would mean losing her only way to work every night, so she decided the rent was a better bet than her car payment. Days later, she got the eviction notice, along with a demand for the $75 late fee, an $85 attorney’s fee and a $155 eviction ﬁ ling fee. None of it made sense to Berry. If she didn’t have the full $649 for the rent, how was she going to come up with $964? Standing in the hall that December morning, staring at the eviction notice, panic washed over her. Without the apartment, she and the girls could fall back into the chaos of transient housing, relying, as they had in the past, on relatives with spare rooms or on hotels that collected rent by the week.

Despite its shortcomings, Berry and her daughters had found a measure of stability in their apartment. They’d made it into something more than just a place they were staying. Berry decorated the door with decals of fl owers and butterfl ies alongside the words “Jesus” and “home.” Her girls – Angelina, Ajaunae and Amariyonna – taped artwork to their bedroom walls and ate dinner on placemats adorned with “Frozen” characters. And every weekday morning, the girls lined up together on the gray linoleum fl oor in the living room, backpacks slung over their shoulders, pink coats zipped to their chins, ready for the 15minute drive to a school they loved. “What are we going to do today?” Berry would ask when they arrived. “Be great!” they’d say in unison. “And do great things!” The eviction notice meant everything they’d

Berry receives no housing subsidy from the government and no child support from the father of her children. Other than the $100 in food stamps she gets each month, she and her girls are on their own. Their lives are governed by the calculus of poverty. A car repair or the utility bill? Clothes or groceries? Berry makes concessions to her budget almost every day, and her decision last year to rent a small basement apartment in Westwood was one more. The apartment building’s security door didn’t lock and the light in the hallway didn’t work. The girls’ bedroom was too cramped, the kitchen sink leaked and the ceiling over the shower was in the early stages of collapse. But the apartment was clean, and the rent was the best Berry could ﬁ nd near her daughters’ school. She didn’t love the place, but she understood the diﬀ erence between what she wanted and what she needed. “This is not where I want to be,” she told herself before signing the lease in January 2019. “This is where I got to be.” Cincinnati has one of the largest per capita populations of renters in America among big cities,

school. Berry wasn’t sure where they’d end up, but she knew it would be disruptive. She might even need to ﬁ nd someone to adopt the girls’ 4-monthold kitten, a black and white bundle of energy named Bobo, because so many apartments charged a fee for cats. Maybe, she thought, the girls would be OK with a

guinea pig. She didn’t like her options. So Berry decided to do something most renters don’t when facing eviction. She’d ﬁ ght to stay. She just wasn’t sure how.

Trying to catch up, with a little help The clerk in Room 121 begins calling names on the docket soon after Magistrate Charles Thiemann takes his seat. Berry’s name is high on the list. One after another, tenants make their way to the lectern and stand before Thiemann, who recites some variation of the same questions for each. “Do you agree you’re behind on your rent?” Thiemann asks a middle-aged man. “I do,” the man says. “You plan on leaving?” “I do,” he says. “I was just hoping for a few more days.” Eviction cases tend to be straightforward aff airs when the rent is late. Landlords can fi le an eviction notice the day payment is missed and aren’t obligated to let someone stay even if they can pay in full after the due date. About 5 of every 100 renters in Cincinnati are evicted each year, roughly twice the national rate, and unpaid rent is the most common reason. Most cases in eviction court take a minute or two. Some less. Berry hopes her case will be diff erent. A few weeks before the court hearing, she caught a break when a Legal Aid attorney, Nick DiNardo, agreed to help her, free of charge. DiNardo, who’s been working with poor tenants for years, knows the odds are against renters facing eviction. As many as three of four poor people who qualify for a government housing subsidy don’t have one. And once they fall behind on rent, many don’t have the resources to catch up. But DiNardo thinks Berry’s case shows more promise than most. She has a steady job that gives her at least a chance to pay what she owes. Not everyone in the courtroom can say that. He’s already discussed the possibility of a deal with the landlord’s lawyer, Ty Foster, and is so optimistic he told Berry she could skip the court hearing this morning. That was welcome news to Berry, who needs to take her girls to school and get a few hours sleep after working through the night. Later, she’ll pick up the girls from school, make them dinner, take them to her stepmother’s place for the night and drive back to the airport for work. It’s an exhausting schedule, but it’s one of the reasons DiNardo thinks he can make a deal to keep Berry and the girls in the apartment. A few days earlier, he told Foster that Berry’s work ethic makes her a good tenant who deserves another chance. Foster was receptive. His New Yorkbased client, like most landlords who hire him, usually is willing to work with tenants if there is a reasonable expectation the rent will be paid. After all, no one collects rent from a vacant apartment. Foster checked and found no complaints about Berry. She appeared to be a model tenant in every way other than one of the most important ways: paying the rent on time. He told DiNardo he’d try to work something out with him on Berry’s case. But as the day of the court hearing approached, Foster said his client needed something more tangible than good intentions. He needed $964 from Berry. DiNardo said Berry could likely get the money with help from a new city rental assistance program run through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. He just needed more time. The last details of a settlement come

together as DiNardo and Foster wait for the clerk to call Berry’s case in Room 121. Foster agrees to drop the eviction, but Berry must pay soon or they will all be back here again in a month. There will be no more grace periods. The two lawyers ﬁ ll out the paperwork and hand it to the clerk. Thiemann signs it and immediately goes back to his docket. There are dozens of names still to call.

A backup plan: Sleeping in the car Despite Berry’s reprieve in court, the clock is ticking to get the help she needs to avoid going back. The money from St. Vincent de Paul must come through or she’ll be facing eviction again. About a week after the magistrate dismissed her case, Berry drives to Legal Aid’s downtown offi ce to talk about her prospects. She needs to sleep after working all night at the airport, but she needs Legal Aid’s help more. Berry sits at a conference table with DiNardo and Deanna White, the Legal Aid advocate who connected her with the lawyer. They tell her their outreach to St. Vincent de Paul has gone well and she qualifi es for aid. “It’s not over,” DiNardo cautions. But he’s upbeat about Berry’s chances. The rental assistance program is new, an experiment, of sorts, for a city that hasn’t off ered much help in the past to its renters. Cincinnati taxpayers invested $227,000 in the program and St. Vincent de Paul runs it and checks tenants for eligibility. The money has helped about 160 families since last summer, with most getting less than $700. Demand is high. The program is expected to run out of money sometime in March. After looking over her fi nances, St. Vincent de Paul decided Berry needed $764 to get caught up and pay on time next month. Free counseling is part of the deal, too. The idea is to help tenants manage money better, so they’ll be less likely to get into another jam. Berry tells DiNardo and White she’s fi ne with that. But she also knows all the counseling in the world isn’t going to increase her take-home pay or spare her the kind of surprises that got her evicted in December. Berry has been on her own for years. Her mom told her in her late teens that if she was going to have babies and live like an adult, she was going to have to take care of herself. She lived in public housing in English Woods for a while, but she walked away in 2016 when a shootout on the street shattered the windows of her parked car and left a bullet hole in a car seat her daughters shared, right where one of their heads would’ve been. Berry has always worked – fast food, grocery stores, the airport – and takes pride in providing for her daughters. But housing is a constant worry. She’d been evicted before, years ago, and never forgot what it was like to be without a home. She felt unmoored, lost. Ever since, Berry has kept a mental checklist of where she and the girls might go if it happened again. Her sister’s place? A hotel? It’s why she usually makes the car payment a top priority. If they have to, they can always sleep in the Camry. Berry is grateful for Legal Aid’s help, but she knows there’s only so much DiNardo and White can do. The rental assistance, if she gets it, will be gone in a month and she and the girls will be on their own again. When the meeting is over, Berry thanks DiNardo and White for all they’ve done for her. Then she heads home to get some sleep.

Fish sandwich of the week: You’ve gotta get into tinned ﬁ sh

Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s not exactly a sandwich, but it’s fi sh on bread, a delicious sort of openfaced sandwich. It’s the tinned fi sh and shellfi sh menu at Mom ‘n ‘em off eeshop in Camp Washington. After work on a Friday, stop in for a glass or a bottle from their wine list and choose from a menu of tinned fi sh, served on deliciously rustic grilled Allez bread with lemon and capers. You’ll be doing a good thing. You’re eating food that’s high in protein, in Omega-3 oils that you can’t get anywhere else, and in calcium. The small fi sh and shellfi sh are also low on the food chain, making them a sustainable choice in an overfi shed ocean. And they are intensely tasty. While we in the U.S. stuck to canned tuna, many places, particularly Spain and Portugal, made artisanal cured and canned seafood that isn’t second-best to fresh fi sh, but its own category.

“What did you learn today?” Berry asks. The girls take turns showing her the friendship bracelets and dream catchers they made in the after-school art program. Berry looks over the delicate braids, nods her approval and taps the gas. When they arrive home, the girls pile out of the Toyota and hop-skip over the cracked pavement and puddles leading to the apartment building. Once inside, Angelina scoops up Bobo and rocks him in her arms. Ajaunae settles at the kitchen table to work on her dream catcher. And Amariyonna munches pieces of cantaloupe on the couch. Berry gets to work at the stove, browning ground beef and boiling spaghetti. In minutes, the apartment smells like meat and onions and tomato sauce.

rental assistance came through and she’s caught up again on her bills. Berry can relax a little and think about something other than an immediate crisis. Lately, Berry has been thinking that in a few years she’ll be the mother of three teen-age girls, and that sharing a bunk bed in their tiny bedroom can only work for so long. Every day, Berry walks by the doorframe where the girls mark their heights with a blue Sharpie, and, every day, she’s reminded how fast they’re growing up. She’s already started looking online at listings for three-bedroom apartments. The rents are more than she’s paying now, sometimes hundreds of dollars more. Berry has a plan, though. She wants to go to cosmetology school so she can make better money styling hair and doing makeup. She’d have to keep her job at the airport working nights, but she’s mapped out a schedule she thinks will be manageable.

As she watches the girls scoop tomato and meat sauce onto their plates, Berry’s mind already is on the busy night ahead: homework for the girls, the drive to her stepmother’s, a long night moving freight on a cold airport tarmac. Going to school would make the routine even harder. She’d lose a few more hours of sleep and might not be able to spend as much fun time with the girls on weekends. But Berry has decided she can’t keep doing what she’s doing. She has spent almost two months ﬁ ghting to hold on to the place she and the girls need to be. It’s time, she tells herself, to ﬁ gure out how to get where they want to be.

Next-generation libraries to meet locals’ needs After gathering community feedback, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County released master plan From Staff Reports Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

What does a next-generation library look like? To fi nd out, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County went straight to the people who matter most: the local community. What do locals want from a nextgeneration library? Throughout 2019, more than 3,000 community members gave their input at more than 90 meetings on the library’s facility improvement project, Building the Next Generation Library. Focus groups were also held, and represented low-income residents, refugees, young professionals, teenagers, people with disabilities, parents with young children, entrepreneurs and more. The library also made sure to solicit feedback from the people who don’t regularly use its services, in hopes of understanding why not. More than half of focus group participants said that they use the library two to three times per year or less. The slow-and-steady approach to gathering feedback allowed the library to be deliberate about the system-wide improvements process. Rather than blowing through its budget by updating a building here and a bathroom there, the library wanted to make sure that it took a holistic, strategic approach to determine what the community truly wants and needs. The Facility Master Plan: Bringing the community’s vision to life After gathering and analyzing all of the input, the library highlighted four common feedback themes: Respondents said that they were interested in facility upgrades, better accessibility, fl exible spaces for work and play, and a more comfortable and welcoming environment. In response to that feedback, the library came up with a Facility Master Plan. Over the next 10 years, each and every one of the library’s 41 facilities will undergo improvements specifi cally tailored to meeting fi ve guiding principles informed by the community’s vision: empower customers, maximize use, refl ect and celebrate the community, use

resources responsibly and create inclusive welcoming spaces. Under the Facility Master Plan, some facilities will receive a strategic investment of funds to make minor but impactful improvements, such as adding laptop kiosks, study pods, outdoor furniture, maker equipment and more. Others will receive capital maintenance funds to do needed repair work on things like heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems; rooﬁ ng; and carpeting. A few facilities will need to do more-extensive design projects to allow for a major renovation or an addition. One of the key priorities that the Facility Master Plan lays out is a goal for all facilities to eventually become fully accessible for people with limited mobility, a boon to many senior citizens. Breaking ground: 5 key projects starting right away The ﬁ rst changes that taxpayers are likely to notice will take place at the Price Hill Branch Library, which has been operating out of the Price Hill Recreation Center ever since parts of the branch ceiling collapsed in 2018. The library will renovate the existing building keeping original architectural elements where possible, build an accessible entrance, and build an addition with new features like study rooms and meeting rooms. The project should be completed by late 2020 or early 2021. The Walnut Hills Branch Library is next on the list. The library purchased the vacant lot next to the property, laying the groundwork for a major expansion and renovation of the existing building. The facility will also become accessible to those with limited mobility. The library hopes to break ground on this project by the end of 2020. The third project focuses on the

downtown Main Library, the largest in the system. Based on community feedback, the library will reconﬁ gure the Vine Street entrance to create a more welcoming and inviting space. The renovation will lower the plaza to street level and add multiple pathways to the door. The Main Library’s north and south buildings will also undergo capital maintenance work on the atrium skylight and elevators, as well as makeover a portion of the interior space. This project will launch later in 2020. Fourth, this spring the library will start capital maintenance projects at the College Hill, Elmwood Place, and Madeira Branch Libraries. These heavily used branches will receive new furniture, fresh paint and carpets. Last on the list of immediately upcoming projects — but still just the beginning of the 10-year plan — the Reading Branch is getting technology upgrades beginning with a new laptop kiosk, where cardholders can check out laptops to use for up to four hours at a time. Looking further ahead The Library Board of Trustees approved further development of a lease agreement for the Deer Park Branch Library to relocate within the same shopping center in a larger space – approximately 25,000 square feet. An expanded Deer Park Branch will serve as an opportunity to develop a “Big Next Gen

Library” model early in the Facility Master Plan implementation process. The lease is expected to be executed in April. The Board also approved further development of a lease agreement for the Madisonville Branch Library to be a part of the development planned for the block between Madison and Prentice on Whetsel. The Library would occupy a portion of the fi rst-fl oor retail space in a multi-use project. Based on several months of exploring opportunities, Library staff has concluded there are no viable opportunities to provide parking for the current branch or to obtain an affordable parcel to build a new branch. The Library will maintain ownership of the current property for the foreseeable future, and relocation of the branch is expected in late 2022. Until then, the branch will continue to operate out of the existing building. With these changes, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County will be well on its way to creating next-generation libraries that support all generations, strengthening the local community and empowering residents to use and take full advantage of the library’s rich resources.

Sycamore High student redeﬁ nes ‘extraordinary’ to win Rotary speech contest 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 4-Way 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 audience. 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 that “all four contestants performed their speeches with tremendous poise and originality.” Phelps said, “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 nonpartisan and non-sectarian ethical guide that Rotari-

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 future,” 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. The organization said the U.S. Census show that the

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.

FINAL 2019

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.

Elder grad Ramsey transferring from Indiana to Northwestern Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Elder High School product Peyton Ramsey has found a new home. Ramsey is transferring from Indiana to Northwestern University. The 22year-old quarterback announced the move Monday, March 9 on Twitter. “I would like to thank everyone at Indiana University for allowing me to live

out my dream of playing college football,” Ramsey said in a tweet. “Sometimes the road to realizing your dreams can take you in a diﬀ erent direction than you expected.” Ramsey entered the transfer portal in January after leading the Hoosiers to an 8-5 record with 2,454 passing yards and 13 touchdowns. Ramsey lost the Indiana starting quarterback battle to Michael Penix Jr.

prior to the 2019 season, but became the team’s starting signal-caller when Penix Jr. went down with an injury. The tandem of Penix Jr. and Ramsey was ranked 12th in the country by Pro Football Focus. At Elder, Ramsey was twice named the Greater Catholic League-South Player of the Year and led the Panthers to three consecutive postseason appearances.

COMMUNITY NEWS Western Hills Animal Hospital collecting pet toys Through April 18, the Western Hills Animal Hospital, 5500 Glenway Ave., invites you to donate gently used hard and dog cat toys and new soft or hard dog toys for families. It is all part of the Gifts for Best Friends Collection, a Greater Cincinnati campaign to enrich the lives of pets and their families who are experiencing fi nancial hardships, including homelessness. Gifts for Best Friends is being organized by Certifi ed Dog Trainer Lisa Desatnik, CPDT-KA, CPBC, for the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati’s Pet Support Program. All donations will be distributed through the IHNGC, and members of its 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 aff ects their quality of life, but also aff ects a family’s ability to fi nd and keep low income housing or shelter – while also 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. 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 fourlegged 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 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 reenter aﬀ ordable, pet-friendly housing to prevent future pet surrender and provide veterinary referrals, lease/landlord advocacy and pet supplies. Lisa Desatnik

The Sons of the American Revolution attend 100th Birthday of a member and WWII veteran On Tuesday, March 3, A contingent from the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution visited the Otterbein Lebanon Senior Center located about 35 miles north of Cincinnati. Their purpose was to bring pomp and circumstance to the 100th birthday of their Compatriot James Halls, who is a WWII Veteran. James was a First Lieu-

tenant in the Army’s 8th Division and received the Purple Heart for the wounds he suff ered during the War. He has a daughter Jane who is a DAR member and arranged for the veremony. When we asked him how he lived to be 100, James said “Well fi rst I had to get through the war without getting killed, then continued to follow a life of clean living!” Jim has a good sense of humor and a sharp wit, even for a man of his many years. We were honored to have met him and acknowledge a celebration of a senior who was to be appropriately thanked for his service. Of the 16 million Americans who served in uniform during World War II, less than 350,000 are now left and they are passing at about 350 each day. With Cincinnati Chapter SAR President Turner Lee Wilkerson as Emcee, a Color Guard with Gregg Ballman leading and escorting the National Colors with Gary Duffi eld, the 50 Star carried by Bob Bowers, the Betsey Ross carried by Jerry Knight, they were accompanied by Ed Boniwell, Dan Schmitz, Jack Bredenfoerder, Bob Hill and Matthew Hardman; all led by event C.G.

SCHOOL NEWS Two Price Hill kids visit Yale University Two Price Hill kids, both scholar-athletes at the Cincinnati Squash Academy (CSA), joined three other scholar-athletes for the 2020 Squash Education Alliance (SEA) Team Nationals at Yale University in New Haven, CT. Jumba Najoli, an eight-grader at St. William School, and Bienvenue Niyonkuru, a seventh-grader at Academy of World Languages, are talented students and sharp players of the disciplined game of Squash. The 2020 SEA Team Nationals took place Friday, March 6 and ended on Sunday, March 8. CSA Executive Director Leah Zipperstein and Squash Director Vir Seth took a team of ﬁ ve scholar-athletes, including Jumba and Bienvenue. The CSA team interacted and played against other Squash programs from all over the country at Brody Squash Center inside the Payne Whitney Gymnasium at Yale University. The CSA team is in the Middle School Boys A division playing against seven other teams from Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Jumba has been attending the CSA program located in the historic Emmanuel Center in Over-the-Rhine since inception in 2014. In 2017 he played in the National Urban Squash Education Association (NUSEA) U-13 National Finals at Williams College in Amherst, MA. Bienvenue joined in 2017 and has quickly taken to the sport, rising fast to become the current national 13-and-under champion after winning the title in 2019. The CSA is an urban program whose mission is to create a trajectory of success for Cincinnati youth. This is done in partnership with the national Squash Education Alliance (SEA).
