Cleveland Plain Dealer p.8 Title: Cincy frees wheelchair access bus activists CINCINNATI (AP) -- A judge granted early release yesterday to three wheelchair-bound activists who were arrested last week for participating in protests to demand access for handicapped people to public transportation. Hamilton county Municipal Judge J. Howard Sundermann, Jr. granted a defense lawyers request for early release of Michael Auberger of Denver, George Cooper of Dallas and Bob Kafka of Austin, Texas, who had served six days for criminal trespassing. Sundermann had sentenced the three to jail terms of 10 days each for their part in last week’s demonstration at the headquarters of Queen City Metro, Cincinnati's public transit agency. Their lawyer, Joni Wiikens, had argued against a jail term, saying the men could have suffered health problems if they were jailed for an extended period. Before he granted the early release, Sundermann asked the men if they planned to go to another city and repeat the demonstration. Auberger and Kafka said they planned to return home. Cooper did not reply. “I think we made our point. The issue won’t go away,” Kafka told reporters after the hearing. Auberger, Cooper and Kafka are members of Americans’ Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation (ADAPT), a national organization that sponsored last week’s protests outside a downtown Cincinnati hotel where the American Public Transit Association was conducting a regional meeting of bus system executives. The activists were protesting Queen City Metro’s policy of requiring the handicapped ride on separate vans for the disabled rather than on regular buses. ADAPT members urged the system to fit the buses with wheelchair lifts, but Metro officials said they did not have money to do so because of the Reagan administration’s cuts in federal transit funding. The vans must be reserved 24 hours in advance. Handicapped people complain that the vans often are booked days in advance, leaving them isolated and unable to get to work or other destinations.

The Cincinnati Post 6/26/68 Local report Courts Title: Wheelchair protestors ignore court CINCINNATI - The arrests of four wheelchair-bound protestors were ordered after they failed to appear for their trial today in Hamilton County Municipal Court. The four men were charged with disorderly conduct during protests against Queen City Metro and transit officials here for a conference. Defense attorney Joni Wilkins said she wrote a letter to each of four men - George Florum, of Colorado Springs: Colo.; Rick James of Salt Lake City; Kenneth Hart, of Denver, Colo.; and Arthur Campbell, of Louisville, Ky. -- advising them of the court date. Only Campbell acknowledged the letter, she said. Judge J. Howard Sunderman ordered warrants for the arrests of the four on a charge of failure to appear in court and forfeiture of the $1500 unsecured bonds of each defendant. Ms. Wilkins said it is unlikely any of the four would return to Ohio where they could be arrested on the warrants.

Cincinnati Enquirer 5/28/86 Disabled protesters released on promise to leave city by David Wells, The Cincinnati Enquirer Leaders of last week's disabled rights protests of Cincinnati left jail four days early Tuesday after Municipal Judge J. Howard Sundermann agreed to reduce their sentences. Last Friday, Sundermann sentenced Robert Kafka of Austin, Texas, George Cooper of Dallas and Michael Auberger of Denver to spend 10 days in jail for disorderly conduct. The judge gave each man credit for two days already served, but said they would have to remain incarcerated until this Friday. He modified those sentences Tuesday, saying the medical condition of at least one man seemed to be deteriorating and all three promised to leave Cincinnati if released. The men are members of American Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation (ADAPT). They came to Cincinnati last week to demonstrate against the American Public Transit Association, which was holding a convention at the Westin Hotel. The group also demonstrated against Queen City Metro in an effort to get the company to include wheelchair lifts on all new buses. The rest of 17 protesters arrested last Wednesday with Auberger, Kafka and Cooper were released by Friday, but Sundermann said the three leaders deserved more severe sentences than the others because they disobeyed an earlier court order. The three first were arrested for disorderly conduct May 18 during a demonstration against Queen City Metro at Government Square. They were released on bond and told to stay out of Cincinnati until their trials. Sundermann modified that order last Wednesday morning, saying the men could rejoin the ongoing protests as long as they did not break any laws. Within three hours, Kafka, Auberger and Cooper were rearrested, accused of blocking the Fourth Street entrance to Metro headquarters by chaining their wheelchairs together. “They apologized for that this morning," Sundermann said. “They said they just got caught up in the spirit of the protest.” Sundermann agreed to reduce the sentences on a motion from defense attorney Joni Wilkens, who noted that Auberger had been taken to University Hospital Sunday because of a recurrent medical problem related to his disability. Assistant City Prosecutor Charles Rubenstein did not object to the reduction of the sentences. All three men are confined to wheelchairs, and Wilkens said she was afraid continued time in jail might impair their health. After leaving jail Tuesday, Kafka said the three “felt we had made our point and raised awareness (of) the problems of the disabled."

The Cincinnati Post May 27, 1986 Wheelchair protesters freed early Post staff report A motion for early release of three wheelchair-bound activists was granted today by Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge J. Howard Sundermann Jr. On Friday, Sundermann sentenced Michael Auberger of Denver, George Cooper of Dallas and Bob Kafka of Austin, Texas, to 10 days in jail for their part in a protest last week at the main office of Queen City Metro. Attorney Joni Wilkens had argued against a jail term for health reasons. Today Sundermann ordered the three released after serving six days of their sentences for trespassing. Before granting the motion for early release, Sundermann asked them if they planned to go to another city and “do the same thing?” Auberger and Kafka said no, that they planned to return to their homes. Cooper did not reply.w “I think we made our point. The issue (of access to public transportation) won’t go away,” Kafka said following the hearing. Auberger, Cooper and Kafka are members of Americans Disabled for Public Transportation, which demonstrated against the lack of access by the handicapped to Queen City Metro buses.
