City ‘screw up’ costs taxpayers $260K in Westwood Sharon Coolidge and Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Everyone knew the little convenience store at the corner of Harrison and McHenry avenues was bad news.

Inside, there were drug deals, fi re hazards and leaking pipes. Outside, robberies and shootings made the parking lot one of the most dangerous in Cincinnati.

So when the city shut the place down in late 2016 and invested $260,000 to turn it into a fresh food

market, Westwood residents celebrated. Soon, city offi cials promised, the site would help revitalize their neighborhood.

But that vision never materialized. Today, the market is closed and in disrepair. The parking lot is a blight. The drug dealers are back.

Taxpayers, meanwhile, are out at least their original $260,000 investment, and possibly much more.

The failure of the Jubilee Market is now a cautionary tale for city offi cials and residents who put See MARKET, Page 2A

For Richard S. Moser III, wearing his religion’s “holy headgear” in his driver’s license photo shouldn’t have been a problem.

Moser, who lives in Green Townshipi, called the local Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles offi ce and was told he would be fi ne. But when he showed up at the deputy registrar in Green Township last year, he was given funny looks and turned away by a manager.

He struck out at a second Cincinnati-area BMV offi ce, where he learned there was a note in his fi le to deny a photo ID featuring his headgear.

Moser, 33, believes he’s being unfairly treated because of his religion: The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The headgear he wants to wear is a red plastic colander.

He considers himself a “Pastafarian.”

“My holy headgear is just as silly as others’,” Moser told The Enquirer. “And I believe we’re all aff orded to wear our holy headgear with the First Amendment.”

The BMV prohibits hats, scarves and other head coverings in license and ID photos. But exceptions are made for headgear related to a religious purpose but only if “usually and customarily worn whenever the person appears in public.”

The BMV says the policy ensures law enforcement can properly identify people and minimizes the possibility of fraud and identity theft.

‘Pirates are the most holy people’ Moser made several phone calls to BMV offi cials to no avail. He then sought help from the American Humanist Association, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofi t that advocates religious freedom and has defended Pastafarians in other states.

their hopes and dollars into a plan that promised far more than it could deliver.

The fallout has been ugly. The project has raised questions about how well the city evaluates projects before sinking money into them. It’s pitted Mayor John Cranley against the local Methodist minister whose charity vowed to make the market a success.

And it’s left Westwood residents scrambling for a new solution to their old problem with the decaying property at 2444 Harrison Ave. “Everybody was really ecstatic and excited about having fresh produce in Westwood,” said Henry Frondorf, president of the Westwood Civic Association, which had embraced the project.

“It was probably too good to be true.”

He said the project’s collapse is a double whammy for the neighborhood because, after buying the old store, the city gave the property to the charity behind the Jubilee Market. That means the city no longer controls the site and can’t try something new there until it gets it back, possibly by buying it again.

“The city screwed up,” Frondorf said.

A news conference, and then ... nothing Not so long ago, though, city offi cials raved about the project. After announcing it at a news conference in March

The pitch that sold the city on Jubilee Market came from Methodist minister Thomas Hargis, who is involved with Jubilee Project Cincinnati. ENQUIRER FILE

2017, former City Manager Harry Black said the market would “invigorate” Westwood. Councilman David Mann praised the project’s “power of collaboration.”

The pitch that sold the city on Jubilee Market came from the Rev. Thomas Hargis, a Methodist pastor involved with Jubilee Project Cincinnati, a nonprofi t that teaches construction skills to the poor and develops blighted properties. Hargis’ wanted to convert the crime-ridden eyesore on Harrison Avenue into a market that sold aff ordable clothing and fresh produce. Even better, he’d grow the produce in nearby vacant lots that he’d transform into community gardens.

City offi cials backed up their enthusiastic talk with cash, spending $260,000 in taxpayer money to buy the old convenience store – twice what the store’s owner, Raid Mahmod, had paid for the property just two years earlier.

By the time of the city’s purchase, Mahmod’s store, U.S. Market, had lost its liquor license, padlocked its doors, seen several employees implicated in drug deals and been declared a public nuisance by a Hamilton County judge.

The judge also ordered Mahmod not to open another business in Cincinnati for at least fi ve years, court records show.

City offi cials wouldn’t say why they needed to spend $250,000 for the building and another $10,000 in closing costs to obtain such a distressed property, but city spokesman Casey Weldon said some in the neighborhood feared a disreputable buyer might swoop in if the city didn’t act quickly.

Once it secured the property, the city turned it over to Hargis and Jubilee, giving the charity full ownership. It also gave the charity several vacant lots on which to plant community gardens.

The city then secured a $3,000 block grant from the federal government to help bankroll the project.

City offi cials announced the market project at the news conference in March 2017. If all went well, they said, the new market would be up and running in a matter of months.

All did not go well.

Jubilee Market kept irregular hours and few people shopped there. Frondorf said the market sold fresh produce on only one day, when Hargis brought in vegetables he’d grown in a garden.

The gardens on the vacant lots either failed or were never planted. The soil was rocky and it’s unclear whether the lots had easy access to water.

Hargis declined comment, but Jubilee’s board chairman, Bob Hyland, said the project ran into trouble right away.

He said the market had few customers and tried various store hours, opening on Saturdays at fi rst, then trying Fridays and Thursdays. Nothing worked.

Hyland said Jubilee also tried leasing the store to another charity in hopes of breathing life into the business, but that failed, too. The new management walked out a few months later, giving six days’ notice.

As the market struggled, the Jubilee Project racked up more than $124,000 in fi nes and fees for a wide range of problems. The vacant lots were cited for nuisance violations. Water bills went unpaid. The debt kept piling up.

The market has been closed since mid-2018 and the building, which had undergone some modest repairs, looks much as it did before.

City offi cials who once supported the

A:

project are now locked in a dispute with Jubilee over what happens next. Westwood residents and Cranley want Jubilee to return the property to the city, even though the charity legally owns it.

Cranley declined to comment on the market project, but he outlined his position in a July letter to Hargis’ boss at the United Methodist Church, the Rev. Todd Anderson.

“The current situation regarding this property is very troublesome,” Cranley wrote. “This project certainly did not meet the expectations of our taxpayers who served as the fi nancers of this initiative.”

Anderson told Cranley the church has no stake in the market and any problems with it should be taken up with the Jubilee Project board. He said Hargis was acting independently of the church when he made his deal.

City offi cials signed a settlement agreement with Jubilee in April, in which the city promised to forgive the $124,000 in unpaid debt if Jubilee sold the property to a buyer approved by the city. If that happens, city taxpayers would be out a total of $384,000 from unpaid fi nes, fees and their original investment. But it’s also possible the city might need to put in more money to buy the property back, if another acceptable buyer can’t be found.

‘Give it back to the city’ Putting more money into the project would be a tough pill to swallow for the city and its taxpayers. Thomas Sauter, vice president of the Westwood Civic Association, said city offi cials know they made mistakes in vetting Jubilee and are embarrassed by how quickly the project fell apart.

“The city readily acknowledges that it too quickly certifi ed the success of Jubilee’s various projects and released the title to your organization,” Sauter wrote to Hyland in a June letter about the building’s future.

Jubilee, which has resisted the city’s request to give back the building, listed the property for sale at $250,000 in May. It has since lowered its asking price to $175,000.

Hyland said Jubilee will work with the city to fi nd a new buyer who will improve the neighborhood. He said the group has turned down several off ers “because those particular parties would not fulfi ll the mission.”

At an October meeting, city offi cials, including Cranley, discussed with Hargis the possibility of the city buying the building, said Sauter, who attended the meeting. “The city told them to come back with their best off er,” Sauter said.

But Sauter and other Westwood residents still hope Jubilee will give it up for nothing. They’ve argued that while Jubilee has a legal right to sell the building, it has a moral obligation to give it back.

Frondorf said the city gave Jubilee the building in hopes the group could deliver on its promise to build a thriving market there. Since the market didn’t work, the city should get a chance to try something else, he said.

“It shouldn’t just sit there looking terrible,” Frondorf said. “The right thing to do, the ethical thing to do, is to give it back to the city.”

Q: Q: Dr Godbey: How can I tell if I have a hearing loss?

A: If you answer “yes” to some of the following questions, you may have a hearing loss: Do you often ask people to repeat what they say? Do you have trouble hearing in groups? Do you think others mumble? Do you turn up the volume on the TV or car radio? Do you have trouble hearing the alarm clock? If you think you or someone you know might have a hearing loss, call us, we can help. A quick but through audiologic evaluation can put your mind at ease or help diagnose a hearing loss that can be treated with hearing aids. Nothing is more frustrating than continually asking people to repeat themselves, answering questions inappropriately, or being disconnected from the world around you.

Veteran Cincy cop in running for Columbus chief job Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

One of Cincinnati’s assistant police chiefs, Paul Neudigate, is in the running to become the new leader of the Columbus Division of Police.

Columbus recently announced that their search for a new chief has been narrowed to fi ve candidates.

Neudigate is among them along with offi cers in leadership roles from Baltimore, Seattle and the National Railroad Corporation in Washington, D.C. Columbus’ current Interim Chief of Police Thomas Quinlan is also vying Neudigate for the job.

Neudigate has more than 25 years of law enforcement experience. He holds degrees from the University of Louisville and the University of Cincinnati.

He spearheaded the PIVOT program in Cincinnati, which focuses on identifying and changing environments that foster criminal activity. He also advocated strongly for Cincinnati to adopt Shotspotter, a gunshot detection system now active in Avondale and the Price Hill neighborhoods.

Neudigate was promoted to assistant chief in 2016.

The search for a new chief began after former Chief Kim Jacobs retired in February. There were 36 applicants, Columbus offi cials said. City offi cials said the chief could be named by the end of the year.

Pastafarian Continued from Page 1A

In an Oct. 8 letter to the BMV, fi rst reported by The Columbus Dispatch, the association said the state was violating the First and Fourteenth Amendments. It likened Moser’s request to the BMV allowing a Muslim woman to wear a hijab in her photo.

“The government may not grant some benefi t or privilege to adherents of one faith and withhold that same benefi t from others merely because those other faiths are novel, unpopular, or esoteric,” Monica Miller, the association’s legal director and senior counsel, wrote.

In response, a BMV attorney wrote that the association provided no proof that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a “recognized religion” as opposed to a secular argument or parody religion.

And if it were a religion, there’s no evidence Pastafarians regularly don colanders during job interviews, at work or during other tasks in public.

“To this day, the church’s website still shows many Pastafarians wearing pirate hats and scarves – or no colanders/head coverings at all – in the course of daily life,” Winston Ford, associate legal counsel for the Ohio Department of Public Safety, wrote in an Oct. 11 letter.

Moser admits he rarely wears the colander in public. But, until recently, he frequently wore a tricorn hat and other pirate garb.

“Pirates are the most holy people so people dress as pirates,” Moser said.

Satirical and serious The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has a deity (the Flying Spaghetti Monster aka His Noodly Appendage.) It has a creation myth (in which the spaghetti monster creates a beer volcano). It has a sacred text (Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster).

It’s satire and parody, but it’s also something much more serious to many believers: a response against what they see as erosion of the separation between church and state.

The church dates back to 2005, when founder Bobby Henderson wrote a satirical letter to the Kansas state school board in opposition to teaching “intelligent design” alongside evolution. The gospel was written soon after.

Moser read the gospel last year while recovering from breaking his hip. He liked it. He decided to adopt the religion, partly as a protest to a new “reli-

“My holy headgear is just as silly as others’.”

Richard S. Moser III

member of the The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

gious liberty task force” initiated by then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Moser founded the Cincinnati Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and fi led state paperwork to register it as a nonprofi t. He became licensed by the secretary of state to solemnize marriages as a church “ministeroni.”

Getting a photo ID while sporting a colander has become an aspirational milestone for Pastafarians. In a statement, Henderson explained that wearing the colander is a tradition, especially “while making offi cial identifi cation documents.”

Is it a religion?

New Zealand has recognized the church as a religion for the purpose of marriage ceremonies, and several individuals have successfully worn colanders in government ID photos.

But case law on the matter is sparse. A federal court in Nebraska determined in 2016 the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was not a religion.

Judge John Gerard, in ruling against a prisoner’s request to practice Pastafarianism, called the church a “satirical rejoinder to a certain strain of religious argument” and its gospel a work of satire.

“The only position it takes is that others’ religious beliefs should not be presented as ‘science,’” Gerard wrote. “Despite touching upon religion, that is a secular argument.”

The BMV cited the case in its letter, but also said it was not passing judgment on whether Pastafarianism is a religion. The agency also kept the door open to allowing the colander in the future: “If you have information and, more importantly, case law specifi cally addressing the theological signifi cance of the colander and how the Ohio BMV’s policy substantially burdens a Pastafarian’s religious beliefs, we will be happy to review them.”

Moser said neither he nor the American Humanist Association plans to move forward with a lawsuit. But he still disagrees with the state rule: “People can choose to be religious for one minute of the day or choose to be religious all day long and be a devout religious person.”

Mom watches drug dealer plead guilty in son’s overdose death Terry DeMio and Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On Nov. 19, two years, three months and four days after the death of her son, Katie Renfrow watched in a federal courtroom as a convicted felon admitted selling Samuel Gillman the drugs that killed him.

Tyrone Browner, 36, pleaded guilty to a drug charge that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

Gillman died of an Browner overdose after using fentanyl-laced heroin in 2017.

Browner’s conviction was the result of a new initiative to prosecute those who sold the drugs to those who then overdosed and died.

The quiet Downtown courtroom was at odds with the hot, summer day Renfrow had been perched on a fl oat in a friend’s swimming pool, phone texts buzzing about Gillman missing work.

“When I picked up the phone, I knew,” Renfrow recalled. A woman’s voice: “She was screaming at me: ‘Hand your phone to somebody else, hand your phone to somebody else!’ “ Renfrow fi nally handed off the phone.

Seconds later she heard a friend beside her say: “Yes, he’s gone, sweetie.”

She knows – she already knew well before the plea hearing – that the grief does not end when you lose a loved one.

Now, she suspects, it will change again.

In the courtroom Nov. 19 with Renfrow were her husband, Will, her daughter, Kayla, and one of Gillman’s high school friends. It was the fi rst time they heard Browner admit his role in Gillman’s death.

Katie Renfrow shows a quilt made from her son's T-shirts in her Westwood home and talks about the grief she's endured since her son, Samuel Gillman, died from an overdose. JEFF DEAN/THE ENQUIRER

Samuel Gillman died at 24 from a heroin-fentanyl overdose. His mother cherishes this photo. PROVIDED

“It won’t bring back Samuel,” Renfrow said. “But (Browner) deserves to be behind bars.”

“Every single dealer,” she added, “needs to get arrested and get 20 years.”

Every mother, she knows, does not get the satisfaction she has gotten, of having someone arrested in their child’s overdose death.

They don’t because the emphasis on fi nding who sold the deadly drugs is a relatively new strategy. Even though laws that would hold dealers accountable for overdose deaths started emerging in the 1980s, they were rarely used.

Twenty states now have these socalled “drug-induced homicide” laws, which target the drug-seller whose drugs ended up killing someone, a study from

Nov. 19 that he has a ninth-grade education. He has at least one previous drug conviction. At 19, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for felonious assault – a man was beaten and shot in the incident.

He was released from prison in November 2016. Within months, he was selling heroin.

Renfrow said she cannot right the wrongs of her 24-year-old son’s death to fentanyl and heroin.

But she can keep him in her life, sprinkling his ashes, bearing a tattoo of his thumbprint on her arm, displaying a simple memorial for him on a low shelf in her living room.

She also hopes that the conviction of Browner is, fi nally, the “beginning of justice” for her son.

the Drug Policy Alliance shows.

Ohio doesn’t have this specifi c law, but here police can charge these sellers with involuntary manslaughter. Or dealers can be prosecuted federally, like Browner was. (He pleaded guilty to a federal drug-selling charge.)

Matt Sutton, a spokesman for the nonprofi t Drug Policy Alliance, said the organization doesn’t like these drug-induced homicide laws, in part because many who are charged are low-level dealers trying to maintain their own drug use.

Gillman’s case is one of more than 760 overdose deaths that the task force has investigated since its inception.

Browner has spent much of his adult life in prison. He said in court Tuesday,

It was many years later that I attempted to make them for gifts from the kitchen cooking class. I wound up with two versions, which I’m sharing today. They make unusual gifts from the kitchen. Put them out on a dessert buff et (label so people know what they are) and watch them disappear.

Both are very sweet. The fi rst one takes a bit more work and is the classic bourbon ball. The second recipe is easier, technique wise. And for our Kentucky and other readers who make bourbon balls, I’d be interested to know if these are similar to yours.

No more cash security deposits for Cincinnati renters?

Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld traveled to Washington D.C. Thursday, Nov. 21 where he presented at national policy conference a new way to help renters – requiring landlords to accept traditional cash security deposits in the form of insurance.

Cincinnati City Council is set to consider the measure beginning in December and if passed, Cincinnati would be the fi rst city in the nation where renters wouldn’t need an upfront cash security deposit.

“At a time when so many Americans and so many people right here in our own community have so little savings,

this legislation can put meaningful money back in renters’ pockets immediately and make housing more accessible,” Sittenfeld said.

Basically, a person, inSittenfeld stead of a cash deposit, would buy security deposit insurance where the renter would pay a certain amount every month, just like insurance for a car or house.

The measure comes on the heels on comprehensive legislation put forward

by Councilman Greg Landsman aimed at preventing evictions.

That legislation creates a rental registry, creates a tenant information page and caps late fees. It also creates a rental

Man charged with murder wants out of guilty plea Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Cincinnati man wants out of the manslaughter guilty plea deal he accepted in May in the fatal stabbing outside a MainStrasse Village bar.

The plea deal was never fi nalized with a court sentencing.

A grand jury indicted Chazrico Gibson on a murder charge Aug. 2, according to court records.

The 37-year-old pulled a knife as a fi ght erupted outside a MainStrasse bar on July 1, 2018, said Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Offi ce prosecutors. Aaron Howard, 38, was killed.

Gibson, a Westwood resident, initially pleaded guilty May 10 in court to manslaughter and second-degree assault charges in a plea deal with prosecutors.

Prosecutor Aaron Levinson said he would recommend Gibson serve 20 years in prison at the time the plea deal was accepted.

Gibson The 37-year-old asked to withdraw his guilty plea in an Oct. 7 court fi ling.

Gibson blamed the change on his attorney at the time, according to court documents. Gibson said his attorney told him the night before he pleaded guilty that he could possibly obtain an Alford plea later, according to court documents.

An Alford plea is an admission there is enough evidence to convict without admitting guilt, according to court records.

He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 4.

inspection program in Clifton Heights, University Heights and Fairview, East Price Hill and Avondale that targets landlords with long outstanding orders to repair property.

Sittenfeld said landlords aren’t hurt under the legislation, because they still get paid. If there’s property destruction that would be covered by the security deposit the insurance policy kicks in.

The legislation: ❚ Gives renters the option to choose low-cost rental security insurance as an alternative to the traditional security deposit. ❚ Ensures that the selected insurance provider must be an approved carrier licensed by and in good standing with the Ohio Department of Insurance.

❚ Ensures that the insurance must permit the payment of premiums on a monthly basis. ❚ Ensures that coverage off ered by the insurance provider must be eff ective upon the payment of the fi rst premium and remain eff ective for the entire lease term, so as to give the property owner full and equivalent protection as with a traditional security deposit.

Mayor John Cranley said, “This legislation will make housing more aff ordable, off er protection to landlords, and put money back into the pockets of hardworking people here in Cincinnati.

Reducing the amount of upfront cash required by renters would lift a huge burden, be a direct benefi t to tenants, and spur our local economy.”

Police arrest man accused of fabricating report about missing teen Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A 19-year-old man who Cincinnati police say falsely reported that a 13year-old autistic girl was missing has been charged with a misdemeanor count of making false alarms.

Cordell Wigle was released on his own recognizance after an appearance in Hamilton County Municipal Court today, with orders to return for trial on Dec. 4.

Wigle set off a police search — and publicity by the news media – after police say he falsely reported a relative of his was gone and last seen about 2 p.m. Nov. 11 in the area of the Purple People Bridge by Sawyer Point Park.

Police say they called off the search about 4:30 p.m. because investigators determined Wigle had fabricated the report.

Also on Dec. 4, Hamilton County court records show, Wigle is set to be arraigned in municipal court on an unrelated theft charge brought by Delhi Township police.

Wigle He’s accused of cashing a $979 check from Tim’s Pools and Spas in Mason at KeyBank at 4980 Delhi Road on April 22.

In addition, Wigle was indicted on three counts of forgery in May and is set to stand trial in common pleas court on Jan. 21.

An indictment says he cashed three forged business checks made out to himself on April 22 — the same date from which the theft charge arose – in Hamilton County.

Wigle has given addresses in North Fairmount and West Price Hill to court offi cials this year.

Oak Hills names Justin Roden head football coach Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Oak Hills High School has a new football coach in place. Athletic Director Ben Hageman announced Justin Roden as head Highlander Monday, Nov. 18.

Roden has 20 years of coaching experience and most recently was head coach at Noblesville, outside of Indianapolis. Prior to that he led Southeastern Indiana powerhouse East Central to a 2015 state runner-up fi nish and a 4A State title in 2017. He was Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference Coach of the Year fi ve times.

“We’re thrilled,” Hageman said. “Justin’s passion, high energy, his experience really matched what we were looking for.”

Locally, Roden was Oak Hills defensive coordinator in 2006-2008. He also had coaching stints at Mount Healthy, Colerain and Mount St. Joseph As a player, he graduated from Colerain in 1995 and was tutored by the staff of Kerry Coombs, including current Lakota West coach Tom Bolden and Lakota East coach Rick Haynes. From there he played at Mount St. Joseph before starting his coaching career.

“Once a West-sider, always a Westsider as they say,” Roden said from Noblesville Monday, Nov. 18.

He lives in Hidden Valley, Indiana, and has been commuting two hours each way to coach football.

“Oak Hills is closer to my home than East Central was,” Roden said.

The move also appeals to Roden for family reasons as his mother is battling Stage 4 cancer. His father has also been long associated with youth football in

the area.

“Oak Hills is a good fi t,” Roden said. “I know a lot of coaches in the conference.

Tom Bolden is married to a Roden (second cousin). It’s a good opportunity with some of the best people. It’s a hell of a challenge. Good coaches have gone to Oak Hills and failed. I can only go up.”

Roden replaces Kyle Prosser who recently departed the football job by mutual agreement. Oak Hills was 7-33 during his time, going winless in 2017 and 2019 .

The new coach plans an aggressive 5-2 Colerain-style defense and looks to run spread off ense with run-pass op-

tions.

“There’s some unfi nished business at Oak Hills,” Roden said. “We’re not going to beat people with talent. We’re going to have to outwork them and be well-prepared. We need to get the better kids in our district. Once there, we need to fi nd a way to play a better brand of football.”

Crossroad Health Center opens clinic in Western Hills

The German Heritage Museum. PROVIDED

Crossroad Health Center, serving more than 12,000 patients in Greater Cincinnati and Harrison, announced the opening of new location on Nov. 4 to serve a growing West Side patient base.

The new Crossroad-West offi ce, located at 2170 Anderson Ferry Road (previously a Buybacks Entertainment store), replaces the site at 2859 Boudinot Avenue, which closed Nov. 1.

Adults and children can receive primary health care services, which include sick visits and checkups, immunizations, prenatal care, behavioral health counseling, and medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol addiction. Through expanded women’s health care services, Crossroad strives to empower women to develop a reproductive life plan so that each pregnancy is welcome.

Crossroad provides a “one-stop” community health center for families and individuals

Crossroad, a federally qualifi ed health center (FQHC), provides aff ordable, accessible, patient-centered health care to children and adults. The Crossroad West offi ce has four experienced primary care physicians who care for patients ranging from newborns to seniors through a wide range of health care services. Because Crossroad providers take the time to uncover the complex health issues that many patients have, they can better address patient issues and coordinate their care – whether it means scheduling appointments with specialists or connecting patients with social services.

“We are excited to expand our health care services in Western Hills,” says Jamie Berrens, Crossroad CEO. “Our new West offi ce is twice as large, so we’ll be able to provide a full range of primary care and preventive services to even more families in Western Cincinnati.”

Community health centers provide signifi cant Medicaid cost savings

While Crossroad serves patients of all economic levels, their sliding fee scale ensures that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Crossroad accepts Medicaid, Medicare and most commercial insurance plans. Approximately 75% of Crossroad patients are insured by Medicaid. According to the Ohio Association of Community Health Centers (OACHC), community health centers like Crossroad provide signifi cant Medicaid cost savings: ❚ The total cost of care for FQHC patients was 24% lower due to fewer hospital ER visits, and reduced spending on inpatient and specialty care. ❚ In 2018, Ohio’s Community Health Centers provided care to 13.2% of Ohio Medicaid benefi ciaries – but Medicaid payments to health centers made up only 0.8% of total Medicaid spending.

Crossroad-West is well-positioned to care for West Side families Crossroad’s new West offi ce is well

situated to care for adults and families on the West Side: Crossroad-West: ❚ Accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay ❚ Is twice as large as its previous site, featuring 21 exam rooms ❚ Is served by providers off ering family, pediatric, prenatal and women’s health care, and by behavioral health consultants who counsel adults, teens and children ❚ Is served by six bus routes, making access easy ❚ Is fully accessible to patients with disabilities ❚ Is accepting new adult and pediatric patients ❚ Off ers ample free parking Crossroad West is holding an open house Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. to introduce the new facility.

About Crossroad Health Center: Founded in 1992, Crossroad provides affordable, accessible health care in a faith-based setting that has 86 employees and operates fi ve centers across Greater Cincinnati and Harrison.

Locations include Over-the-Rhine, Western Hills and Harrison, as well as two school-based health centers that care for students and their families at Rothenberg Preparatory Academy and Taft Elementary School.

Cincinnati SAR and the Ohio Society SAR honor patriots at Yorktown, Virginia We recently gathered at the historical Grace Episcopal Church in Yorktown, VA. The church was built in 1697 and witnessed many historical events.

Many compatriots of the SAR and la-

dies of the DAR were here for the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the grave of Gen. Thomas Nelson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, commander ofVirginia troops at the siege of Yorktown, and a governor of Virginia.

We presented wreath on behalf of the Ohio Society SAR by Turner Lee Wilkerson, the Germany Society SAR by John H. Bredenfoerder, Hocking Valley Chapter SAR by Wm. Robert Hill, the Highlanders Chapter SAR by Gary Duffi eld and the Cincinnati Chapter SAR by Michael Gunn.

Later we took part in the huge Yorktown Days Parade that involved not only the SAR, DAR, and CAR, but units of every branch of service, many JROTC units, high school and military bands, politicians, civic organizations, and the Old Guard Army Fifes & Drums.

The crowd really gave us heartfelt applause as we marched by in our Revolutionary War Uniforms. After all, this is

our day in the American Revolution when we celebrate the 238th Anniversary of British General Lord Cornwallis’s surrender on Oct. 19, 1781.

We wouldn’t gain our independence for two more years, but essentially, the Revolutionary War was won at Yorktown. It is sacred ground, like Gettysburg, Normandy or Iwo Jima. It was won with the help of the French, whose Navy prevented Cornwallis from getting relief or escape from the Chesapeake Bay. Later in the day after the festivities concluded at the huge monument at the National Park grounds on Main Street, we held a solemn ceremony monument at the DAR Plaque next to the monument where the names of more than 100 patriots who died in the battle in 1781 are buried. Five are chosen to have their names read and all their heroic actions remembered on this special day.

Those participating from Ohio were: Turner Lee Wilkerson, 1st V.P. of the Ohio Society from Cincinnati and his wife Sheri; John H. Bredenfoerder, Germany Society V.P. and his wife Laurie; Gary Duffi eld President of the Highlander’s Chapter SAR with his wife Mary Ann; Gregg Ballman, Cincinnati SAR Board member and his wife Kathe; Michael Gunn, Past Cincinnati SAR Chapter President and his wife Carole; Dr. Ed Boniwell, Ohio Society Chaplain; William Robert Hill, Color Guard Commander of the Hocking Valley Chapter SAR and Mark Anthony Holland the newest member of the Cincinnati SAR Chapter.

We all of us traveled to Yorktowne Virginia to re-dedicate the memorial with these words: “We, the members of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution dedicate this marked Memorial to the glory of God and in the recognition of the memory of these honorable Patriots of the American Revolution. Today, we honor all those on this plaque and all who have served these United States of America, risking their being to secure and safeguard our liberties and freedom.”

Michael Gunn, Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution

Police: Man shot at twice, hit in head on second try Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two people turned themselves in to police Nov. 18 after investigators said they worked together to chase down and shoot a man last month, a man who was shot at by one of the suspects before.

Arreonna Garrett, 21, also known as “Muff ,” and Markel Hardy, 18, are both charged with felonious assault, arrest records state.

Police said Garrett got into a dispute with a man named Eric Wilcox outside the Rally’s on Glenway Avenue in West Price Hill on Oct. 18.

Wilcox told police that Garrett pulled out a gun and began chasing him before fi ring one round, missing.

Eight days later, Garrett and Hardy confronted Wilcox on Nottingham Road in the Villages of Roll Hill, according to court documents.

Wilcox told offi cers that this time Hardy had the gun. “Ms. Garrett told Mr. Hardy to shoot Mr. Wilcox,” police reported.

Court documents state Hardy shot at Wilcox, but missed, so Wilcox ran. Garrett and Hardy chased after him, police said, and more shots were fi red.

“Mr. Wilcox was struck by a round behind his right ear,” police said. “The round exited Mr. Wilcox’s face above his mouth.” Wilcox survived.

Garrett is being held on a $300,000 bond. Hardy’s bond was set at $250,000. Both are being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.

SCHOOL NEWS Oakdale Elementary celebrates local veterans Veterans Day took on special meaning for Oakdale Elementary students this year as they invited their fathers, mothers and grandparents who are veterans to a special concert recognizing military service.

The third-grade classes read tributes and messages of thanks to veterans, and sang patriotic songs. “I am proud to be an American because Americans are brave,” read third-grader Emma O’Shaughnessy. “I truly believe America is a brave, truthful, free and loving place.”

Parents and grandparents who are veterans spoke about their military experiences. Many students joined their relatives in the audience to enjoy the concert together.

U.S. Marine Corps veteran Tim Thompson, who served for fi ve years including two tours in Iraq, said the event – and the site – had special signifi cance for him. “We did plays right in this gym and would sing each military song and the branches would come out with their own fl ag. That was the fi rst time I ever saw a Marine,” he said. His daughter, Natalya, a fourth-grader at Oakdale, invited him to the concert. “She’s really engaged today – she loves the Marines,” he said. “And I knew that she knew how special this would be for me.”

A civics lesson from Congressman Steve Chabot The conversation ranged from how long it takes for a bill to become law, to why so many buildings in Washington D.C. are white, when Congressman Steve Chabot stopped by Springmyer Elementary School to talk to fi fth-grade classes.

“I’m your congressman. I vote for you all in Washington, D.C.,” the 23-year veteran offi cial told students, passing around his offi cial voting card. His visit was intended to spark students’ interest in government.

The Springmyer students asked how often members of Congress vote, whether the legislative branch of government has more power than the judicial or executive branches, and if Chabot had ever made a mistake.

“I voted against lighting up City Hall – it was an 8 to 1 vote – but they did light it up, and it was beautiful,” he told them.

Chabot used the book, “House Mouse, Senate Mouse,” to explain how a bill becomes law – reciting it from memory – and presented the school with a fl ag fl own over the U.S. Capitol.

Randolph Ross, of New York City, is a retired principal for high schools in Queens, Great Neck and Plainview, N.Y. Crosswords helped him get one of his jobs. He says his final interview with the Great Neck Board of Education was devoted mainly to crossword constructing rather than how to run a school. Having had one of his puzzles published in The Times shortly before ‘‘was good timing and made for a happy interview.’’ This is Randy’s 50th Sunday crossword for the paper and his 113th Times puzzle overall. — W.S.
