Dayton Unit NAACP Official Statement
On behalf of the Dayton Unit NAACP, I send my heartfelt condolences to the family of Detective Jorge DelRio. I pray that the Almighty God brings him through this horrific, senseless act of violence.
I also pray for the employees of the Dayton Police Department as you reflect on all of the fond memories you have of your wounded brother.
Last evening, as the details were unfolding regarding Detective DelRio having been shot while on duty, I held a moment of silence for him during the West Patrol roll call and then presented another officer, Officer Rolfes, with a Hero award for courageous action during the mass shooting in Dayton, August 4, 2019.
We will continue to be Dayton Strong!

Subject: CCC Meeting County Commissioner, RAPCA, Good Samaritan Hospital Rally this Week
There are a couple of CCC Events this week.
Please look over the list and see if you are able to join us for any or all of them.
********************************************************************
Nov. 7th, Thursday, RAPCA (Regional Air Pollution Control Agency),
3:00 - 4:00 pm
Reibold Building 117 S. Main St. First Floor
Are you affected by the demolition of Good Samaritan Hospital? Are you experiencing health issues? We in the CCC have been pressuring RAPCA, EPA and Pubic Health to address the air quality issues, to obtain air monitors and analyze fallen debris for data collection. We are very concerned for the health and safety of the residents that are living right next to the demolition site of Good Samaritan Hospital, as well as the students at Fairview Elementary School one block away. We have also been pressuring RAPCA for a public hearing along with EPA, Public Health & Safety and the City of Dayton.
Please come early if you would like to fill out a form and file a complaint.
***********************************************************************
Nov. 8th, Friday, WE NEED A HOSPITAL Rally at Good Samaritan Hospital,
11:30am -12:30pm
Corner of Philadelphia Dr. and Salem Ave.
We in the CCC have been protesting for 22 months since the announcement of the closing of the hospital. We believe our presence at the GSH site and at Premier, alternating weekly, reminds people that we continue to struggle forward. All is not lost as we still have a viable Health and Human Service Federal Complaint against Premier Health Partners and remain hopeful that a hospital will rise again on this site.
On Friday, it may be cold out there. There are some of us who don long underwear, but we will not gather if it is below freezing. Be conscious of your own health needs. We stand in solidarity.

Subject: Community-Agency-Networking Meeting (Nov. 7) & Putting-People-First Conference (Nov. 15)
As Public Health was planning training related to Social Determinants of Health and the CHIP, we discovered that there were other related learning opportunities already planned in the community. For those interested, I wanted to pass on registration information for two of those opportunities occurring in November
On November 7, Buckeye Health Plan is offering a session at Central State University (see below).

Regenerating from the Ground Up by Susan Jennings
The 21st century is ripe with conflict and dissolution. Climate catastrophe, water woes, food insecurity, economic instability, species collapses and massive migrations challenge humanity to set a radically-different course. Thankfully, farmers, environmentalists, researchers, and activists have been partnering on regeneration projects that provide a hopeful glimpse of a healthy future for all who share the planet. Come to learn what's happening locally and globally, and how you can participate.
Susan Jennings: Susan Jennings became Executive Director of The Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions (AMICS) in 2014. Since that time, she has partnered with the AMICS board to implement a new strategic plan oriented toward the support of resilient communities. She also led AMICS in the 2017 purchase of Agraria, a 128-acre farm on the outskirts of Yellow Springs which is being developed into a Center for Regenerative Practice. Susan serves on The Village of Yellow Springs' Economic Sustainability Commission, the Board of the Greater Dayton Conservation Fund, and on the national Council for Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching on behalf of Central State University. She also facilitates a Community Climate Resilience class for the University of Dayton's lifelong learning institute.

Build connections with other members...
As a community-powered project we want to operate like the left-side illustration, not the centralized power node on the right. Our tiny yet mighty Membership Committee (Hi Erica, Rachel DB, and Maya!) asked us to put out the call for GCM Cooperative Members who want to level-up on your Membership knowledge, and connections with other cooperative members.
Whether you have just an hour, or are looking for a consistent volunteer opportunity... our Membership Committee would love to connect with you.

New Member Orientation
A quick-paced hour of interactive (still safe for introverts) orientation to what membership in Gem City Market means, clearing up common misconceptions, and orienting you to where we are in the project right now... bring your curiosity and your questions for this pilot series of New Member Orientations.
| Choose day & time for the pilot session(s) |
Mini-Updates
Wholesale Distributor Chosen: Gem City Market has chosen Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) as our main distributor. AWG offers a great selection of national brands and their own house lines for a variety of budgets. AWG is also a cooperative which means we own part of the company, like member-owners own part of GCM. Want to know more? Attend a New Member Orientation.
Additional Project Management: We've learned a whole lot about the grocery industry since setting out on this journey in 2015, including the value of hiring professional support. We've contracted with Columinate, a proven consulting cooperative with vast start-up grocery expertise, to help us make sure we deliver the store you want within budget and in the best possible time. More details in a future newsletter.
Graphic Design Enthusiasts: GCM is in a transition period from a primarily community organizing focus to a retail grocery store focus. Our contracted marketing agency - Firebrand is helping us move through to our next phase of existence. We'll need implementation assistance and are connecting with community oriented production graphic designers. Semi-professionals welcome. Curious? Just reply back to this email.

Subject: Great News! Abundant Season Updates for Hurricane Dorian USAID Approval & Turkey Baskets and Christmas Party Fundraisers
YOU ARE AN ABUNDANT SEASON & AMERICAN FITNESS SUPER HERO!
Thank you! Just wanted to give you great updates. We are on the approved list for USAID in Washington DC to provide supplies for Hurricane Dorian. What this means is anything that we ship, they will request directly and they will pay for shipping. In addition, we are still sending what our churches in the Bahamas are requesting at our expense. This is amazing news. Please let people know that we are only collecting what was requested of us to collect and ship: feminine products, wipes, soap, deodorant, toiletries, and toilet paper. We are not collecting money unless people want to donate to the events below and/or so that we can purchase items and for shipments to the churches in the Bahamas. We're all set at the highest level. Again, thank you and please share with others!
November 16th - We are providing 78 Turkey boxes during our 2020 Vision Conference. We are at maximum capacity. We've over doubled what we gave last year. Last year we gave out 35 turkey boxes with everything they need. We started with just 6 boxes almost 10 years ago.
Dec 14th - Christmas Giveaway. We will provide a huge Christmas Dinner and gifts for everyone. We have a 188 people signed up for this event. We are way over capacity - We've almost tripled this year based on the need. We average between 50-80 people.
Please note that our focus is for people in need, tornado victims and survivors of the Dayton mass shootings. We need volunteers if you know of people who would like to help with any of the events above.
COLLECTING DONATIONS! Again, thank you are a blessing in all that you do. You have made a difference in Dayton and how we are able to help our communities. Thank you! Spread the word, we can always use volunteers to help serve on both dates. (If you like to donate a turkey, canned goods, etc, or even cook for the Christmas Party or purchase gifts - please feel free to do so. Donations are tax deductible). Let me know what you decide.
P.S. Please find copied is the flyer for the conference - it's a way to prepare and reflect 40 days prior to the new year and give out turkey baskets (Breakfast and lunch will be served). This our 11th annual conference. Also, I've attached a flyer for our fundraiser selling faith-based wrist bands to help defray cost for what we do and training. I've also created a go fund me account for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Event. We will need support to help the community.

From: David K. Greer on behalf of Ombudsman Diane Welborn
Subject: FW: Ombudsman Office Weekly Update 11-1-2019
Dear Members of the Board of Directors of the Ombudsman Office, Elected Officials and Colleagues:
Your Ombudsman Office was especially busy this week opening 25 cases on the Dayton Public Schools, City of Dayton Inspection Services, Food Stamp Eligibility, Medicaid Eligibility, the Social Security Administration, the US Post Office, Miami Valley Community Action Partnership, Greater Dayton Premier Management, and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles for households in Centerville, Clay Township,. Dayton, Englewood, Huber Heights, Kettering and Miamisburg.
This week we had the opportunity to assist a man who is having challenges with his Social Security payee. He was referred to our office by a woman for whom he does yard work and odd jobs. The man receives Social Security, and the agency sends his monthly benefit to a payee agency who is to assist in ensuring his bills are paid. The agency had not paid his rent in a timely manner, so the man was facing an eviction action. We intervened with the payee agency, who apologized for the error and immediately corrected the matter with the landlord. The payee agency informed the Ombudsman that the man's Percentage of Income Plan needed to be renewed, and he would have to complete the paperwork for that himself. Because of his illiteracy, the Ombudsman made arrangement for a person from MVCAP to assist him with his renewal.
We had the opportunity to assist an additional forty households through brief assistance or referrals to the City of Dayton Waster collection, Adult Protective Services, Children's Services, the Montgomery County Courts, the Internal Revenue Service, Medicare, the Department of Labor, consumer matters, emergency assistance requests, homeless services, landlord tenant problems, social services, the Attorney General's office, the Ohio Department of Insurance and the Ohio Public Utilities Commission. These households are from Dayton, Huber Heights, Kettering, Miamisburg, Riverside, Trotwood, Vandalia and Washington Township.
Our Long Term Care Ombudsman Program staff opened 14 new cases this week, ranging from meals being served cold; property stolen; alleged sexual abuse by nursing home staff; medications not being administered for two days; to call lights not answered for multiple hours. Staff, volunteers and interns visited 34 nursing homes this week; attended three discharge hearings; and participated in ten regulatory inspections by the Ohio Department of Health.
Please note copied is our weekly column..

"Woman gets help acquiring her medical records"
A woman contacted the Ombudsman for help obtaining copies of her medical records. The woman had been granted Social Security Disability based on a number of medical reports obtained from physicians and submitted to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The woman had been directed by the physicians to contact the SSA for copies of the reports. When the woman contacted the Social Security Administration, she was told to contact the physicians. The woman felt caught in a catch 22 situation and contacted the Ombudsman for assistance. The Ombudsman contacted the SSA concerning the woman's request. Staff at the agency reported a high volume of citizen requests and agreed to send the woman a CD of her electronic records. The CDs are provided rather than paper copies when the citizen's folder with the agency is completely electronic, as in the case of this woman.
The woman later called to report that she had received a CD from the SSA. The CD contained a great deal of information, but not the particular medical reports she was seeking. The Ombudsman is familiar with the agency CDs and believed the CD to be complete. The Ombudsman instructed the woman on how to check the CD for further information. The woman called later to report that a friend had been able to open the medical reports on his computer, and that now the woman had all the information she had been seeking and was satisfied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ombudsman Column, a production of the Joint Office of Citizen Complaints, summarizes selected problems that citizens have with government services, schools and nursing homes in the Dayton area. Contact the Ombudsman by writing to the Beerman Building, 11 West Monument Avenue, Suite 606, Dayton, Ohio 45402 or telephone 937-223-4613 or by electronic mail at ombudsman@dayton-ombudsman.org.
