Subject: Prayer Vigils for Mary Hinesmon and Terry Joiner
Our hearts are heavy with the violence and loss of life in Minnesota, Louisiana, Dallas and in our own Dayton community. We will gather this Saturday, July 16th for two homicide vigils: Mary Hinesmon, 78, and Terry Joiner, 51. Both of these occurred within a mile of each other on Hoover Avenue. The first vigil will be held at the Summit Square Apartments, 5600 block of Hoover Avenue for Terry Joiner – 12:00 noon; the second in the 4900 block of Hoover Avenue for Mary Hinesmon – 12:30 pm.
DIRECTIONS: 12:00, Summit Square Apartments, 5600 block of Hoover Avenue
Take OH 49 (from the Connector 35/49) to Hoover Avenue. From the NW, turn LEFT on Hoover; from the SE, turn RIGHT. Summit Square Apartments is on the right. There is parking space available on the street or, possibly, in the parking lot. There will be a picnic on the apartment grounds from 12:00 – 2:00, but we should be able to hold the vigil on the sidewalk in front of the complex.
We will gather on the sidewalk outside the apartments. 12:30, 4900 block of Hoover Avenue
Continue on Hoover if parked on the street; turn right if in the parking lot. The 4900 block is 0.75 miles from the apartments. We will gather in the empty lot on the left across the street
from the 4900 block -- after Longvale Street.
The Prayer of St. Francis seems especially appropriate at this time.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair hope;
where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console; to be understand as to understand
to be loved as to love.
For it is giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
May our hearts be open to dialogue and to honest listening to one another as our country strives for the unity and peace we all desire as brothers and sisters of our Creator God.
PS. There will be another vigil on July 23 for Joshua Cohen who died of gunshot wounds on Saturday, July 9th.

White House Commends
Two Dayton Immigrant-Friendly Projects
A new report from the White House Task Force on New Americans, "Bright Spots in Welcoming and Integration," mentions Dayton for its work in two projects: our Ambassador Program and the Welcome Belmont initiative.
A blog post this week from Cecilia Muñoz, Assistant to the President and Director of the Domestic Policy Council, summarizes how over 50 communities have joined the White House's Building Welcoming Communities Campaign to embrace and integrate immigrants. The report highlights Dayton for the two efforts spinning out of the Welcome Dayton program. LEARN MORE

Subject: FW: Ombudsman Office Weekly Update 7-15-2016
Sometimes the work of staff of this office can serve to reconnect citizens with staff in agencies in order to solve problems or move resolutions forward. This is illustrated in our column this week (attached) where we enabled a mother of a young rape victim to have a civil and productive conversation with the detective investigating the case. The mother thought no action was being taken and knew her phone calls were not returned, and we learned in fact that the detective was working diligently on the case and did not want to return unkind telephone calls. We were able to reconnect these two so by the time of the grand jury the communication barriers were taken down.
in a similar case we closed this week, a woman had come to us originally for assistance with her voucher for subsidized housing. The woman had a recent eviction on her record, which we investigated and learned it was through no fault of her own. But yet now she had the consequences of that eviction barring her from housing. The woman did not believe she could convince the former property manager to give her a letter stating the reason she had to leave the housing. We were able to assist her to get a letter from the former property manager, and that letter enabled the woman to go forward and find housing.
Real-life situations are behind the numbers I provide for you each week. This week cases were opened on Child Support, Food Stamps, the US Post Office and Social Security for people in Dayton, Harrison Township, and Huber Heights. Information and referrals were provided to thirty households in Brookville, Centerville, Dayton, Germantown, Harrison Township, Kettering, Miamisburg, Riverside and Trotwood about City of Dayton Inspection services, Dayton Municipal Court, Child Support, Food Stamps, Medicaid, HUD, Social Security, the Post Office, legal assistance, the Attorney General's office, the BMV the Department of Insurance, and the Public Utilities Commission.
Out Long-term Care Ombudsmen continue to provide information about how to select a nursing home and residents' rights; to investigate complaints brought to the office by residents and their loved ones, and further our work to protect seniors from abuse, neglect and exploitation.

WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY
Revenue shortfall leads to deficits for WSU athletics
By Laura A. Bischoff, Brian Kollars - Columbus bureau
Wright State spends less per athlete than any Ohio public university offering Division I sports, but paltry revenue totals have caused its athletic department to operate at a deficit for nine straight years. The Dayton Daily News examined the athletic budget in the wake of the financial struggles that are causing the university to cut nearly $20 million from its two-year operating budget. Some faculty members have called on the administration to scale back its commitment to the athletic programs, which have received subsidies from the university totaling $104.6 million since 2002.
