nearly 300,000 of the lowest-wage workers are earn-
ing a little more than they did last year. On January
1, the minimum wage increased 15 cents to $8.10 per
hour, the result of a voter-approved measure that provides annual living wage adjustments. Amy Hanauer,
executive director with Policy Matters Ohio, says
while the boost will help Ohio workers, 19 other states
have higher minimum wages.

Fracking spurred earthquakes and some not surprised
Some environmentalists and energy-industry
observers say they are not surprised by a new study that
connects earthquakes to hydraulic fracturing in Ohio.
Dozens of quakes occurred in March 2014 in Mahoning
County, including a magnitude-3 quake felt in neighboring areas. The study from Miami University concluded
that the tremors were spurred by fracking activity. “In the
future,” said Ted Auch, Great Lakes program coordinator
for Fractracker, the shale gas drilling isn’t as concerning
as the disposal of fracking waste into injection wells.

“COVERING THE NEWS TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW”
The Real Meaning of The
Rev. Dr. King Holiday
By LERONE BENNETT
Three hundred and
ninety one years after 20 blacks
landed at Jamestown, 149 years
after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and 60 years
after the Supreme Court banned
segregation, the United States of
America North and South, black
brown and white -- will stop for
24 hours to honor the memory
and the life of a black American
for the 29th year.
Because he lived and
dreamed and died, many factories,
offices, schools and all federal
and many state agencies will be
closed.
All over America, men,
women and little children will link
hands and hopes in an unprecedented national holiday for Martin
Luther King, Jr., the grandson of a
former slave, who rose to spiritual
heights attained by few mortals
and thereby fulfilled the Biblical
adage which says "he who is last
shall be first."
The first astonishing
recognition of black initiative
and leadership would have been
inconceivable a few years ago,
and it marks a great divide in the
relationship between black and
white Americans.
For on King's Day, January 19, Americans of all races,
backgrounds and political persuasions, segregationists as well as
integrationists, will be forced to
take official notice, not only of
Martin Luther King, Jr., but also
of the maids, the sharecroppers,
the students and the Rosa Parks,
who made him what he was.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
was born on January 15, 1926 and
he died on April 4, 1968.
This is the tradition and
the hope that the Martin Luther
King, Jr. holiday brings to America. And that tradition speaks in
and through the King holiday,
telling us that a people who could
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968
produce a King has no need for
fears or apologies or doubts. As
the first black American honored,
Martin Luther King, Jr. joins the
most exclusive of all American
clubs. Ironically, and significantly,
the only other American honored
by a national holiday is George
Washington.
There is irony -- and
truth -- in this. For King and his
nonviolence army gave America
a new freedom. They banished the
Jim Crow signs, browned American
politics, and transformed the student
movement, the women's movement
and the church.
And all Americans are
indebted to King and the nonviolent
liberators who broke into American
history like beneficent burglars,
bringing with them the gifts of vision, passion and truth. It can be
argued, in fact, that King freed more
white people than black people.
This, then, is a national
holiday with national implications.
And we are called, in and through
the holiday, to the national task
of continuing the struggle for the
fulfillment of King's dream.
The crucial point here and
elsewhere is that this is not a holiday for rest and frivolity and play.
This is a day for study, struggle and
preparation for the victory to come.
It is a day set aside for measuring
ourselves and America against the
terrible yardstick of King's hope.
And if we ever loved him,
we will use this time to mobilize
against the evils he identified in his
last article -- the evils of racism,
militarism, unemployment and violence.
It is on this deep level,
and in the context of personal responsibilities, that the King holiday
assumes its true meaning. For it is
not enough to celebrate King, it is
necessary also to vindicate him by
letting his light shine in our own
lives.
It was King's genius to
suggest that every man, woman and
child is responsible for his/her own
freedom.
"A man who will not die
for something," he said, "is not fit
to live."
And the only question
before us in this holiday season is
what are we doing and what are we
prepared to do to ensure that King
did not dream and die in vain.
Beyond all that, we are
challenged in this month to remember one of his greatest legacies:
hope. For he never ceased to believe
that the dream and the dreamers
would prevail. And if he could speak
to us this month from his grave, he
would tell us that nothing can stop
us here if we keep the faith of our
fathers and mothers, walk together
and dream together.
It is with this understanding, and this hope, that we dedicate
this holiday to the memory of an
American giant who will be remembered.
To appropriate the words
of poet Robert E. Hayden, "not with
statues, rhetoric, not with legends
and poems, but with the lives grown
out of his life, the lives fleshing
his dream of the beautiful, needful
thing."

Anderson’s family sues as her death ruled a homicide
Tanisha Anderson’s
family called police for help
when Anderson, 37, who suffered from bipolar disorder and
schizophrenia, was causing a
disturbance on November 13,
2014. They never thought that
Anderson would die in police
custody.
To keep a spotlight
on Anderson’s death, rallies
and vigils were held by Black
on Black Crime, Inc., Imperial Women, Immigrant Support
Network, and the Oppressed
Peoples Nation.
Jasmine Johnson, Anderson’s sister, spoke about
her sister’s death at the hands
of the police while being taken
into custody during the ‘Public
Safety Committee ‘Listening
Tour’”held on December 18,
2014 at the Harvard Community
Services Center.
The Cuyahoga County
Medical Examiner on January 2,
ruled Anderson’s death a homicide due to physical restraint in
a prone position in association
with ischemic heart disease and
bipolar disorder with agitation.
Rice’s family files lawsuit against city, policemen
The investigation into the
death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice is
being handed over to the Cuyahoga
County Sheriff’s Office.
According to Mayor Frank
Jackson, Chief Clifford Pinkney of
the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, will conduct the investigation.
Jackson released the following statement: “This decision
to turn the investigation over was
made to ensure that transparency
and an extra layer of separation
and impartiality were established. I
believe that the best way to ensure
accountability in a use of force investigation is to have it completed
by an outside agency.”
Rice was shot and killed
by officer Timothy Loehmann on
November 22, 2014 at the Cudell Recreation Center after a man
called 911 to report a child playing
with a gun.
During the call, the man
said he could not tell if the gun was
real or not, but said, “It’s probably
fake.” The dispatcher never relayed
the information that the gun might
me a toy.
Loehmann shot and killed
Rice within seconds of arriving on
the playground. Frank Garmback,
the driver of the police cruiser,
pulled up onto the grass near the
Rice
gazebo where Rice was standing and
Loehmann shot the boy.
In newly released videos,
immediately following the shooting,
Rice’s 14 year old sister was tackled,
hand cuffed and place in a police
crusier as she attemted to assist her
brother. Garmback wrestled Rice’s
sister to the ground and Loehmann
handcuffed and detain her in the patrol car, several feet away from her
brother’s body.
Samaria Rice, Tamir’s
mother, said she arrived at the same
time as the ambulance. She was
given the choice of riding in the ambulance or in the police car with her
daughter.
From the video, it is apparent
that Rice received no life-saving assitance from the officers at the scene.
Rice didn’t receive medical care until a nearby FBI agent reported to the
scene four minutes after the shooting,
while Loehmann and Garmback stood
around. Paramedics arrived eight minutes after the shooting.
Rice died at the hospital a
few hours later.
Questions are now surfacing
as to how Loehmann was hired by the
Cleveland Police Department while
his personnel file from Independence
Police, where he worked before being hired by Cleveland Police, said he
was in the process of being fired for his
lack of “maturity” and an incident involving an emotional meltdown during
firearm training. The report stated that
Loehmann “could not follow simple
directions, could not communicate
clear thoughts nor recollections, and
his handgun performance was dismal.” He resigned in December
2012 from Independence. He did
not pass a test for a position with
the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s
Department in 2013. According
to the Cleveland Police Department, Loehmann’s personnel file
was never reviewed prior to being
hired.
Cleveland had recently
settled a $100,000 lawsuit against
officer Garmback brought by a
woman who said that Garmback,
“placed her in a chokehold, tackled her to the ground, twisted
her wrist and began hitting her
body.”
The family of Rice filed
a wrongful death lawsuit against
Cleveland, Loehmann and Garmback in federal court on December 5, 2014.
Kelley is city’s first homicide
Delvon Kelley, 38, was shot
and killed by Michael Brown, 58, his
girlfriend’s father, outside of her home
on Westview Avenue. Brown had
confronted Kelley about abusing his
daughter.
Kelley was the first homicide
of 2015. Cleveland ended 2014 with
106 homicides for the year.
According to witnesses,
a fight between Kelley and Brown
erupted with Kelley wielding a
machete, and Brown shooting him
in the leg. Kelley died at MetroHealth Medical Center shortly
thereafter.
Anderson
A Department of Justice
report on the Cleveland Police Department released on December
4, 2014 disclosed troubling issues
beyond use of excessive force included the following: in addition
to fatal shootings, the excessive
force involved victims who were
struck in the head, sometimes with
the butts of police-issued firearms;
some of the incidents involved
the mentally ill or emotionally
disturbed in cases where officers
were called merely to check on
their welfare; and poor training
contributed to cases in which policed employed dangerous tactics
that placed the general public at
risk.
The family of Tanisha
Anderson filed a federal civil
rights lawsuit against the city of
Cleveland and police officers,
Scott Aldridge and Bryan Myers,
who were the officers involved in
the incident which lead to Anderson’s death.
The family accuses the
city and the officers of excessive
force, wrongful death, assault and
battery and violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
They are seeking a jury
trial and an unnamed amount of
monetary damages.
Gasoline prices continue to drop
Northeast Ohio gas
prices dropped nearly sixteen
cents this week, according to
AAA East Central’s Fuel Gauge
report.
The national average
price of gas has fallen for a record 102 days to $2.20 per gallon, which is the lowest average
since May 9, 2009.
Drivers closed out 2014
on a high note with households
saving an average of approximately $115 on gasoline in comparison to 2013 due to relatively
low prices at the pump. The average price for retail gasoline hit
multi-year lows during the last
few months of 2014 and is expected to continue to fall as we
begin 2015.
Barring any significant
fluctuations in the price of crude
oil, the average price at the pump
is likely to remain below $3.00
per gallon in 2015, although
prices may see seasonal increases this spring as refineries undergo maintenance, or this summer
as demand increases during the
busy summer driving season.
The price of crude is
continuing its downward slide
due to excess supply and weak
demand, and is on the precipice
of falling below $50 per barrel today for the first time since
April 2009. Global oil prices are
expected to remain relatively low
for the first half of 2015, which
could put additional pressure on
high-cost production countries
like the United States. Although
it is too early to tell what, if any,
impact low crude prices will have
on domestic production, it is
worth noting that companies will
increasingly face the choice of either continuing expansion plans
or cutting capital expenditures in
a market that offers significantly
lower profit margins.
The global price of
crude has lost more than half of
its value since mid-2014. At the
close of formal trading on Friday,
West Texas Intermediate fell by
58 cents per barrel and settled
at $52.69. This marks the lowest
settlement since April 30, 2009.

VANTAGE POINT
Author celebrates life and legacy of 'Garrett Augustus Morgan'
Biographer and author Mary N. Oluonye has
embarked on a new marketing
campaign for her book, “Garrett Augustus Morgan” (published by AuthorHouse). This
insightful biography discusses
the life of the eponymous
African-American inventor,
hero and community leader,
painting a portrait of him as an
ordinary man who dared to do
the extraordinary.
Oluonye’s
book
describes various aspects of
Morgan’s life, highlighting
important events that influenced his choices, aspirations
and achievements. It follows
him through his early life and
growing up years, his various
business ventures, inventions
and his later years.
The biography also
includes a list of Morgan’s
patents, awards and citations,
and other reference materials
about him.
Oluonye shares that
she was compelled to write a
biography about Morgan after noticing that there was not
enough material about him at
her community’s public library.
“I work in the Youth
Services Department at a public library in Cleveland and I
noticed that we did not have
enough material on hand when
elementary school students
visited the library in search
of books on Garrett Morgan,”
she said, “Many children are
vaguely familiar with Morgan’s life and his connection
to the traffic light but beyond
that, they don’t know much
more.”

Oluonye was born
in Cleveland. Throughout her
early childhood, she traveled
between America and Nigeria.
She is a graduate of Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda,
Md., and the University of
Windsor in Ontario, Canada.
After university, she returned to
Nigeria where she worked for a
major university, got married
and later moved to America.
She currently lives in Ohio.
Morgan was born
on March 4, 1877 in Paris,
Kentucky. He died on July 27,
1963. He was known for his inventions and as a community
leader.
His most notable inventions included a type of
protective respiratory hood (or
gas mask), a traffic signal, and
a hair-straightening chemical.
He is renowned for
a heroic rescue in 1916 in
which he and three others used
the safety hood device he had
developed to save workers
trapped within a water intake
tunnel, 50 feet beneath Lake
Erie. Morgan is also credited
as the first African American
in Cleveland, Ohio, to own an
automobile.
At the age of 14, Morgan moved to Cincinnati, Ohio

Morgan
in search of employment. Most
of his teenage years were spent
working as a handyman for a
wealthy Cincinnati landowner.
Morgan had to quit school at
a young age in order to work.
However, Morgan was able to
hire his own tutor and continued his studies while living in
Cincinnati.
In 1895, he moved to
Cleveland, where he worked
repairing sewing machines for
a clothing manufacturer. His
first invention, developed during this period, was a belt fastener for sewing machines. He
married his first wife, Madge
Nelson, in 1896, but that marriage ended in divorce. Word
of his skill at fixing things and
experimenting spread quickly
throughout Cleveland, opening
up various opportunities for
him.
In 1907, Morgan
opened his own sewing machine and shoe repair shop. It
was the first of several businesses he would own.
In 1908, Morgan
helped found the Cleveland
Association of Colored Men.
That same year, he married
his second wife, Mary Anne
Hassek, and together they had
three sons. In 1909, he and his
wife expanded their business
ventures by opening a shop
called Morgan's Cut Rate Ladies Clothing Store.The company had 32 employees, and
made coats, suits, dresses, and
other clothing.
A few years later, he
developed his safety hood invention. He filed for a patent
on it in 1912, and launched
the National Safety Device
Company in 1914. At around
the same time, in 1913, he
launched the G. A. Morgan
Hair Refining Company,
which sold hair care products,
including a hair straightening
cream, a hair dye, and a hair
straightening comb invented
by Morgan.
Morgan died on July
27, 1963, at the age of 86, and
is buried at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio.
Know the facts, protect yourself and loved ones from the flu
According to data
from the Ohio Department of
Health, nearly half (48 percent)
of the 1,919 hospitalizations
due to influenza to date in Ohio
are residents age 65 or older.
The Ohio Department of Aging
is joining with the Department
of Health to strongly urge all
older Ohioans – as well as those
who care for and serve them
– to do everything you can to
reduce your risk of getting and
spreading the flu or to reduce
the severity of symptoms if you
do get it.
According to the
National Council on Aging,
our immune systems typically
weaken as we get older, making
it harder for our bodies to fight
disease. As a result, adults age
65 and older are at increased
risk of flu and its complications.
Not only can the flu
include mild to severe illness,
it can also make other chronic
health conditions worse. Eightyfive percent of older adults have
at least one chronic condition
such as diabetes, heart disease
or COPD, and 68 percent have
two or more.
A flu shot is the best
thing you can do to protect
yourself and the older adults in
your life from the flu. The vaccine can prevent most strains
and can lessen the severity and
length of symptoms if you do
get the flu.
The annual flu shot
is a Medicare Part B benefit,
which means that the vaccine
is covered with no copay for
adults age 65 or older. There
also is a higher-dose vaccine
specifically designed for older
adults – ask your health care
provider if the higher-dose vaccine is right for you.
Other things you can
do to prevent getting or spreading the flu:
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water;
use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not
available. Avoid touching your
eyes, nose or mouth with your
hands.
Cover your nose
and mouth with a tissue when
sneezing, coughing or blowing
your nose; throw away the tissue and wash your hands immediately. If you don’t have
a tissue, cough or sneeze into
your elbow or upper sleeve.
Avoid contact with
people who are sick. If you are
sick, stay home, rest and limit
your contact with others until
you are fever-free for at least 24
hours without the use of medicine.
Call ahead to places
like doctor’s offices, nursing
homes and senior centers to see

State behind in prevention
if they have special appointment
or visitation policies during flu
season or for people who have
flu-like symptoms.
If you work with or
provide care to older adults and
have flu-like symptoms or have
been exposed to someone with
the flu, contact your employer to
see if you should report to work.
Ask about your employer’s policies and procedures about the flu
and other infectious diseases.
Symptoms of seasonal
flu include fever, cough, sore
throat, body aches, headache,
chills and fatigue. Some might
also experience diarrhea and
vomiting.
Warning signs include
difficulty breathing or shortness
of breath, pain or pressure in
the chest or abdomen, sudden
dizziness, confusion, severe or
persistent vomiting and flu-like
symptoms that improve, but
then return with fever.
If you have a chronic
medical condition, such as diabetes, heart disease or COPD
and/or are age 65 or older, and
experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Tom Patton reelected to Senate Leadership as Majority Floor Leader
The Ohio General
Assembly on Monday held
their Opening Ceremonies
for the 131st General Assembly, officially marking the beginning of the new legislative
session.
During the ceremonies, the members of the Ohio
Senate unanimously reelected State Senator Tom Patton
(R–Strongsville) to serve
as Senate Majority Floor
Leader. Patton has served
as Majority Floor Leader,
the chamber’s number-three
leadership post, since September of 2011.
“It is a privilege for
me to continue representing my community and our
state as the Senate Majority
Floor Leader,” Patton said.
“I am humbled and honored
by the faith of my Senate colleagues, and look forward
to continuing to address the
needs of my constituents and
our entire state.”
As Majority Floor
Leader, Senator Patton is in
charge of leading the Ma-

If you think it’s an emergency, go to the emergency room
By MICHAEL GERARDI
Pop quiz: if you’re
having chest pains, should
you go to an urgent care
center or the emergency
room?
The answer should
be obvious. Yet according to
a new poll, patients suffering from real medical emergencies like this one are not
heading to the ER.
Seven in 10 emergency physicians treat patients who end up in the ER
only after first going to urgent care centers and learning that their medical problems were too serious to be
treated there.
As urgent care centers explode in popularity,
it’s critical that Americans
understand the difference
between urgent care and
emergency care. Choosing
an urgent care center over
an ER during a medical
emergency could cost a patient his life.
There are currently
some 9,000 urgent care cen-
ters nationwide. These facilities fill an important gap
in the health care system for
patients who need time-sensitive care but can’t wait to
see a primary care physician
or don’t have one.
Urgent care centers
are often open on weekends
and evenings, in addition
to normal business hours.
Most don’t require appointments. They’re generally
able to provide routine treatment for simple health problems, such as ear infections,
strep throat, or sprains, on
a first-come, first-served
basis. And they often have
on-site X-ray machines to
diagnose simple fractures.
Emergency departments, on the other hand,
are always open and ready
for whatever comes through
the door. The sickest patients in an ER generally go
to the head of the line.
Some emergency
conditions are more obvious
than others. Most people
would not hesitate to go to
the ER for a gunshot wound,

But
something
like slurred speech also
requires a trip to the emergency room. It’s a symptom
of stroke, which can kill 2
million brain cells a minute.
Delaying treatment by even
minutes can be the difference between a full recovery and death.
Patients may not
think that their condition
screams “emergency.” But
even fairly benign symptoms can be warning signs
of a life-threatening condition.
Consider abdominal pain. Perhaps it’s just
an intestinal virus. But it
could be a ruptured bowel,
which requires emergency,
life-saving surgery. It’s an
emergency physician’s job
-- not a patient’s -- to know
the difference. And these
emergencies can only be
managed at one place -- the
emergency department.
Part of the problem
is that patients are misinformed about the role of urgent care centers. Consumers are often swayed by their
relatively low prices and
marketing. Indeed, more
than half of ER physicians
say that urgent care centers
in their communities advertise themselves as an alternative to emergency rooms.
Take Nason Medical Center, which offers urgent care services in South
Carolina. It was recently
ordered by the state’s Department of Health and Environmental Control to stop
using the word “emergency”
to advertise itself because it
confuses patients.
Such intervention
by government officials
is valid, considering that
misinformation can put
patients at risk. BroMenn

Another example of
Shortly after the
death of Prophet Muhammad, the Ahmadiyya’s rejection of
an man named Musailama, a the Qur’an and Sunnah is their
claimant to prophethood, was contention that Jesus died, and
fought against togher with his that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
followers for their apostacy. was an incarnation of Jesus.
In fact, according to
the 1985 Encyclopedia Britannica, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
claimed to be not only Jesus
but Prophet Muhamad,
the Mahdi, and the Hindu god
Krishna.
It suffices to refer
back to the essence of Islam
which is the Uniqueness of
God: any concept of man
becoming god, worse yet a
Hindu good who is one out of
many, is false according to the
Qur’an.
On this, Islam is
uncomprising, hence this error of the Ahmadiyyas is the
foremost indication of their
exit from Islam.
Finally, the Ahmadiyyas also rejected jihad, a
tactic which was designated to
eliminate Muslim resistance
to British colonialist rule.
The International
Community of Submitters:
The Submitters are
followers of the late Rashad
Khalifa, a man who claimed
to be a Messenger of Allah.
This claim in itself
is sufficient to remove the
Submitters from Islam as the
Qur’an states (translation):
“O people! Muhammad has no sons among ye
men, but verily, he is the Messenger of Allah and the last
in the line of Prophets. And
Allah is aware of everything.”
(33:40)
The true Prophet of
Islam, Muhammad, observed:
“The tribe of Israel
was guided by prophets. When
a prophet passed away, another succeeded him. But no
prophet will come after me;
only caliphs will succeed me.”

A Look At My World
Everything new gets old too soon
By JAMES L. SNYDER
I am not one to stay
up New Year’s Eve to watch
some celebrity drop the ball
at Times Square at midnight.
All year long I have to put up
with people dropping the ball
so I’m not going to make a
special effort to watch somebody drop another ball.
As for the Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage
and myself we stayed home
New Year’s Eve and enjoyed
our own society. It’s always
good to have nothing to do
and knowing that nobody
will stop by and nobody’s going to call us on the phone.
A night with the cell phones
quiet is like a night in the
forest. Everybody is out celebrating the end of the old
year.
I think everybody
has the right to celebrate in
his or her own way.
One thing struck
both of us as we were reclining and drinking some apple
cider tea. Believe me, it’s a
rare occasion when the same
thought invades both of our
thinking space at the same
time. She seems to always
know what I’m thinking and
I never seem to be thinking.
She looked at me
and said, “Do you know what
I’ve been thinking?”
Being a husband
for as many moons as I have
been, I know a trick question
when I hear it. Since this is
the last night of the old year,
how do I know she’s not using it to get in one more trick
question?
But, it’s the last evening of the old year and so
I threw caution to the wind
(which actually hit the wall)
and walked into her question.
“No, what have you
been thinking?”
“I’ve just been
thinking about how fast time
flies.” And then she seemed
to stare into space.
She had a good point
there. I’m not sure which airline time travels on but it sure
does go fast.
While I was musing,
which isn’t really that amusing, she then let her thoughts
flow.
“Everything new
seems to get old too soon.
Just as soon as you get something new, in no time it becomes old.”
I suspect she was
thinking of me when she used
the word “old.” I didn’t say it,
but I wanted to say, “Old is
better than dead.” Sometimes
it’s best to keep your mouth
shut especially when I’m
with my wife.
I don’t say this too
often, but she had a great
point there. It’s like when
you buy a brand-new automobile at the auto dealer.
It’s new when you sign the
contract, it’s new when you
step into the car and smell the
freshness, but as soon as you
drive it off the lot it’s an old
car.
We then started to
talk about all the happenings
during the past year. Many
things happen, some bad,
some good. Then, for whatever reason, my wife brought
out our old family photo album. Whatever possessed her
to do that I’ll never know nor
will I ask.
We began looking at
some of the old pictures, but
those old pictures were new
when they were taken.
When we came
to our wedding pictures, I
was a little shocked. I didn’t
know anybody could look

numerology, an obsession
which has misguided many
different people throughout
history.
Khalifa alleged that
the Qur’an contained a mathematical code which revolved
around the number 19.
He went to the extent
of removing two verses from
the Qur’an because according
to him “the word ‘God’ ..is not
a multiple of 19, unless we
remove it [it],” and the “sum
of all verse numbers where
the word ‘God’ occurs is...
19x6217 ...If the false verse
9:129 is included, this phenomenon disappears.”
By rejecting a single
verse of the Qur’an, the Submitters bring themselves under the judgement of another
verse.
Do you believe in
part of the Book and disbelieve in another part? And
what is the reward of those
who do so save ignominy in
the life of the world, and on
the Day of Resurrection they
will be consigned to the most
grievous doom ... (2:85)
It is interesting to
note that Khalifa was a numerologist who did his blighted
profession justice: he predicted the end of the world.
However, Allah says in the
Qur’an:
They ask you about
the (last) hour, when will be
its taking place? Say: The
knowledge of it is only with
my Lord; none but He shall
manifest it at its time; it will
be momentous in the heavens
and the earth; it will not come
on you but of a sudden.
They ask you as if
you were solicitous about it.
Say: Its knowledge is only
with Allah, but most people
do not know. (7:187)
The Submitters also
reject the Sunnah of Prophet
Muhammad (saws)- not part
of it, but the whole of it. For
the Submitters, the Sunnah is
not a source of Islam.
The problem this
presents are overwhelming,
for by doing so the Submitters
have effectively destroyed
their ability to perform:
Salaat (obligatory
prayers), the second pillar of
Islam, Zakat (obligatory tax),
the third pillar of Islam, Sawm
(fasting), the forth pillar of
Islam, and Hajj (pilgrimage),
the fiftjh pillar of Islam.
With four out of the
five pillars of Islam removed,
the Submitters have little
to back their claim to being
“Muslim.”
The true Messenger
of Islam (saws) warned Muslims of falling into this trap.
Narrated AbuRafi:
The Prophet (peace be upon
him) said: “Let me not find
one of you reclining on his
couch when he hears something regarding me which I
have commanded or forbidden [i.e. from the Sunnah
-ed.] and saying: ‘We do not
know. What we found in Allah’s Book [i.e. the Qur’an]
we have followed.”Book 40,

down two sets of stairs. Although the lights weren’t
working, she continued despite the darkness and successfully descended the two
flights. But after stepping off
the last step – and thinking
there might be another – she
stumbled forward through
a glass panel adjacent to the
door, suffering injuries.
Mann filed suit
against the building’s owner
– Northgate Investors, L.L.C.
– alleging that it had “negligently failed to maintain
adequate lighting ... during
nocturnal hours, thereby creating a danger to residents
and guests.”
Northgate argued
that there was no evidence it
had breached a duty of care
to Mann. The company asserted that it owed Lauren
only the duty it would owe
an invitee, a duty of ordinary care in maintaining its
property. Northgate further
argued that darkness is an
open and obvious danger and
an owner owes no duty to
warn an invitee of open and
obvious dangers, since those
dangers are so obvious and
business owners may reasonably expect their invitees to
discover the hazard and take
appropriate actions to protect
themselves against it.
Mann argued that
Ohio’s Landlord-Tenant Act
(“the Act”), imposes a duty
on landlords to make necessary repairs and to keep the
premises in a fit and habitable
condition, to keep common
areas of the premises safe,
and to maintain electrical
systems and lighting fixtures.
But the trial court
granted summary judgment
to Northgate, concluding that
the Act “was intended to establish the duties between
landlords and tenants,” and
that since Mann wasn’t a tenant, Northgate “only owed
her a duty of ordinary care.”
The court further
held that the darkness on the
stairs was open and obvious
and that the duty of ordinary
care “is negated when the
hazard posed to the invitee
is one that is open and obvious.”
Mann filed an appeal. The court of appeals reversed the trial court’s ruling,
holding that tenants’ guests
are entitled to the protections included in the Act, that
a landlord’s violation of the
Act constitutes negligence
per se, and that the open-andobvious doctrine does not apply when the landlord is negligent per se.
After that, Mann’s
case came before us – the
Ohio Supreme Court. The issue in this case was whether a
landlord owes the duties provided in the Landlord-Tenant
Act to a tenant’s guest properly on the premises in the
common area.
As its name suggests, the Landlord-Tenant
Act – passed in 1974 – “governs the rights and duties
of landlords and tenants.”
Among other duties, a landlord must “make all repairs
and do whatever is reasonably necessary to put and
keep the premises in a fit
and habitable condition.”
Another section of the Act –
which became the focus of
this case – requires landlords
to “keep all common areas
of the premises in a safe and
sanitary condition.”
Prior to 1974, landlords had a “common law
immunity,” but in recognition of the “changed rental
conditions and the definite
trend to provide tenants with
greater rights,” the Ohio legislature passed the Act in “an
attempt to balance the competing interests of landlords
and tenants.”
In the years since,
our court has reviewed several cases involving the Landlord-Tenant Act. In a 1981
case, we ruled that a landlord
could be liable for injuries
resulting from the landlord’s
failure to meet the obligations imposed by the Act.
That 1981 court reasoned
that a violation of a law that
sets forth specific duties – as
the Act did – constitutes negligence per se.
The court made
clear that a finding of negligence per se does not necessarily result in liability:
“proximate cause for the injuries sustained must be
established,” and a tenant
would also have to show that
the landlord knew of the defect.
In 1994, our court
held that a “landlord owes the
same duties to persons lawfully upon the leased premises as the landlord owes to the
tenant.” In that case, a guest
of a tenant died from a fire in
her friend’s apartment that
started on the first floor. The
lawsuit alleged that the landlord had failed to install a
smoke detector on the apartment’s first floor, contrary to
a city ordinance.
Longstanding common law (that is, the body
of law developed through
judicial decisions) had established that courts shouldn’t
distinguish between the duties that a landlord owes a
tenant and the duties a landlord owes to other people
lawfully upon the premises.
Thus, our court in that 1994
case concluded that, as common-law protections extended to a tenant’s guests, the
protections provided in the
Landlord-Tenant Act would
extend to guests.
Since a landlord
owes a tenant’s guest the
same duty that the landlord
owes the tenant, it only follows that the duty a landlord
owes a tenant under the provisions of the Act regarding
common areas would also be
owed to the tenants’ guests.
But not every court addressing the issue has come to that
conclusion.
That’s why this
case came to us – because
of those conflicting lower
court decisions. Those conflicts arose, in part, because
that 1994 case related to a
guest who was injured in
her friend’s apartment, not a
common area.
We thus clarified in
this case that our 1994 decision should in no way be
interpreted so as to prevent
a tenant’s guests from benefiting from the protections
of the Act simply because
they were in a common area
of the premises.
Therefore – by a
seven-to-zero vote – we reaffirmed that a landlord owes a
tenant’s guest the same duty
that the landlord owes a tenant. Hence, a landlord owes
a tenant’s guest the duty to
“keep all common areas of
the premises in a safe and
sanitary condition.” We also
concluded that a violation of
that duty constitutes negligence per se and eliminates
the open-and-obvious doctrine.
Accordingly, we affirmed the court of appeals’
judgment and sent Lauren’s
case back to the trial court
for further proceedings.
Weekly Wealth For Your Health
Planning a home remodel that actually pays off
By JASON ALDERMAN
In 2014, completing
successful home improvements
comes down to two critical questions:
Will you get most of
your money back when you sell
your property? (The days of 100
percent-plus returns on renovations are over, at least for now.)
How will project costs
affect your overall financial
plan?
Here are questions to
fuel your planning:
How long you plan
to live in the home after the
renovation. The Great Recession
proved many homeowners didn’t
recoup elaborate – or sometimes
modest – improvement costs
when selling their homes. Even
in a recovering market, it’s good
to be wary. For now, renovate for
the long haul and your personal
enjoyment, not overnight sale.
Neighborhood style
and standards. We’ve all seen
it – the oversized addition that
dwarfs the rest of the houses on
the block, the $50,000 kitchen
upgrade in a small home where
a spruce-up for $10,000 or less
would do. It’s important to know
how your tastes align with what
is salable in your market (see
Cost vs. Value, below).
Opportunistic buying
and installation times for various projects. Take replacement
windows, for example. Collect
bids in mid-summer and recheck
them in late fall -- you’ll likely
find significant savings on both
windows and installation.
Available renovation
tax credits on federal, state and
local levels. Are there credits
or tax incentives on structural
equipment or appliances that
can offset the cost of whatever
you’re planning?
Potential effect on
property taxes. Could an elaborate renovation actually turn off
future buyers thanks to higher
maintenance costs and property
taxes?
Intelligence on recent
purchase prices and home features. Smart homeowners keep
an eye on recent home sale prices in the neighborhood and the
features – or lack of them – that
made the transaction.
Now here’s where you
can find some answers.
Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value
Report (http://www.remodeling.
hw.net/cost-vs-value/2014/) has
become a leading consumer resource for pricing improvements
and cost recovery nationwide,
regionally and in major metro
areas. The online format allows
users to compare project cost
and recovery at sale all the way
back to 2002.
While the nation’s
housing market is generally in
recovery, some of the publication’s 2014 top-producing projects were surprisingly small. The
top three 2014 home improvements in terms of cost return
were:
Entry door replacement (96.6 percent cost recovery), Wooden deck addition
(87.4 percent), and Attic bedroom addition/renovation (84.3
percent).
Remodeling reported
that the value of remodeling
projects began to slide nationally with home values in 2006 and

only began to recover in 2013.
As home resale values rise, so
will cost recovery on incrementally bigger projects. As the
publication notes, it’s a cautious
environment.
For more detailed information, seek knowledge on a
more local level:
Get to know your
neighbors. If your neighbors
have done home improvements
inside and out, politely ask if
they’ll share their story.
Befriend a broker.
Real estate brokers and agents
are happiest when they’re closing deals, but they like to build
long-term relationships, too.
The best brokers are happy to
share neighborhood renovation
value intelligence in exchange
for a house tour. They can’t sell
a house filled with overpriced
improvements.
Before major projects,
consider a home inspector. A
home inspector’s job is to determine if the structural and mechanical aspects of a property
are up to code. If a home hasn’t
had a structural or mechanical
upgrade for many years, professional inspection may detect
trouble spots and intermediate
upgrades that could be far more
valuable than cosmetic work.
Talk to a tax professional. Federal and state tax
credits and deductions may be
available as part of any project you do. The IRS has a current summary (http://www.irs.
gov/uac/Newsroom/EnergyEfficient-Home-ImprovementsCan-Lower-Your-Taxes)
of
2014 energy credits and related
resources.
Check your credit reports and scores. If you need to
borrow to complete a project,
it’s a good idea to check your
credit reports and current credit
score to determine whether
you’ll qualify for a loan. You
have the right to get all three of
your credit reports – from Experian, TransUnion and Equifax
– once a year for free. You can
do so by ordering directly from
AnnualCreditReport.com.
Talk to a financial
planner. Any home improvement project is potentially major when compared to what you
earn or have in savings. A certified financial planner can help
you evaluate potential projects
against the competing financial
goals in your life like saving for
retirement and your children’s
college tuition.
Figure out what you
can do yourself. Whether it’s
painting, landscaping, carpentry
or electrical work, helping with
a few DIY finishing touches on
a home improvement project
can save money. Just make sure
you have the time and skill to
pitch in.
Bottom line: Approach a home renovation as
you would any other major
financial decision – do your
homework and see how it fits
into your overall financial plan.

Clean energy freeze hinders weatherization benefits
Besides keeping
Ohioans warm on chilly
days, a new report from Policy Matters Ohio finds home
weatherization saves energy,
reduces pollution, and creates jobs.
An
estimated
300,000 Ohio households
spend over 30 percent of
their yearly income on home
energy bills, which report
author Amanda Woodrum,
an energy researcher at
Policy Matters Ohio, says
leaves them struggling to
pay for other necessities.
She says their research also
found stepping up home
weatherization programs
can help end this cycle of
“energy poverty.”
“Ohio’s weatherization program consis-
tently lowers utility bills
by more than 20 percent,”
Woodrum said. “This reduces the need for these households to seek bill payment
assistance.”
But those benefits
could be lost, according to
Woodrum, with the freeze
and possible elimination of
Ohio’s Clean Energy Standards.
The 100th anniversary on Monday, September 1, marks the extinction
of the passenger pigeon.
The commemoration is being used to urge protection
of other species that may

the law that protects them.
The Endangered
Species Act was passed in
1973, but Jake Li, director
of endangered species conservation for Defenders of
Wildlife, said there needs
to be a new commitment to
keep it strong, since some
in Congress are trying to
dismantle key pieces of the
act and eliminate or delay
protections.
“These are species
that have actually warranted listing for a decade.
There are proposals to delay that for another five,
10 years - and oftentimes
it’s to avoid the perceived
protecting endangered species,” Li said.

Steelers season ends with loss to Ravens
By ANDREW CARTER
After a two year absence, the Pittsburgh Steelers return
to the playoffs was a short trip as they lost in the 1st round to the
Baltimore Ravens, 30-17. Shaun Suisham FGs could not keep pace
with Ravens’ TDs. The Steelers scored their only TD of the game
in the 4th Quarter on a 6 YD TD Pass from Ben Roethlisberger to
Rookie WR Martavis Bryant. Roethlisberger threw for 324 yards
and a TD, but had two costly interceptions and was sacked five
times. With RB Le’Veon Bell sidelined with an injury, the Steelers
running game went nowhere. Rookie RB Josh Harris and recent
acquisition, former Cleveland Brown RB Ben Tate, gained just 44
yards between them.

Trophy after Ohio State’s 42-35 win over Alabama in the College
Football Playoff semifinal game. (ESDN Photo by Minority Publishers Assn.)
Ohio State gave their
fans some sugar when they came
on down to New Orleans and defeated highly favored Alabama,
42-35, in the Sugar Bowl. The
score was not indicative of the
dominance the Buckeyes displayed, especially in the 2nd
half. They excelled on both sides
of the ball in making a national
statement of their gridiron prowess in a national semifinal game.
They now move on to Dallas
(actually Arlington) for the National Championship Game,
where they’ll meet Oregon, who
scalped Florida State in the other
semifinal.
Ohio State was moving the ball from the onset, but
kept getting bogged down at
the Alabama five and settling
for Sean Nuernberger FGs. The
Crimson Tide scored two TDs on
short fields after OSU turnovers,
sandwiched around one long
drive to take a 21-6 lead early in
the 2nd quarter.
Third-string QB Car-
dale Jones, from Glenville, got
the Buckeyes rolling, leading
them on two TD drives before
intermission to make the score
21-20. The first score came on a
3 YD TD Run by Ezekiel Elliot
and the second came on a wide
receiver pass off of a double
handoff by Evan Spencer to
Michael Thomas, who made a
great leaping catch and got one
foot down in the End Zone for a
13 YD TD Pass. The handwriting already was on the wall as
halftime stats showed Ohio State
outgaining Alabama, 348 to 139
yards.
In the 2nd half, Jones
threw a long bomb to Devin
Smith, from Massillon for a 47
YD TD Pass. Then the Buckeye
defense came through with the
first of three interceptions of Alabama QB Blake Sims as Steve
Miller returned an INT 41 yards
for a TD. After 28 straight OSU
points, Alabama scored a TD to
move within one TD at the end
of the 3rd quarter.
After a battle of punts
and another OSU INT by Vonn
Bell in the final stanza, Ohio
State had the ball in the shadow
of their own goal posts. They
moved out to the 15 when Elliot
got the ball and raced through
the left tackle spot for an 85 YD
TD Run. Thomas then caught a
2-point conversion pass. Alabama had been giving up an
average of 88 yards rushing per
game and had not allowed an opposition runner to gain 100 yards
in a game this season. That final
run gave Elliot a staggering 230
yards on the day – a Sugar Bowl
record.
Alabama added a
late TD and tried an unsuccessful onside kick. On 1st Down,
OSU threw an ill-advised long
incompletion, stopping the clock
and then had Jones run around
on 3rd Down and take an 11 yard
loss to waste time. The Crimson
Tide had one last shot but their
desperation Hail Mary Pass was
intercepted by Tyvis Powell.
There are two glaring
stats tell the story of the game:
OSU’s offense put up 537 yards
on Alabama’s vaunted defense
Lou Amundsen and Alex Kirk
and a future 2nd round draft pick
to NY. In return the Cavs received Iman Shumpert and J.R.
Smith from the Knicks and a 1st
round pick from OKC. Lance
Thomas will go from OKC to the
Knicks.
Waiters has been an
enigmatic player. Last season,
there were rumblings that he
and Kyrie Irving were having
problems learning to share the
ball. This year, with the signings of James and Kevin Love,
there were two other people with
whom a ball-sharing plan had to
be brokered. Now, that problem,
whether real or imagined, has
been alleviated. The thought is
that Shumpert and Smith will be
more willing to go along with a
ball-sharing game plan. Plus, the
Cavs will get some perimeter defense.
When James was out,
Waiters had more looks and had
taken up some of the scoring
slack. So when the Cavs played
in Philadelphia - the worst team
in the league by all standards
- it was expected that Waiters
would provide some offensive
numbers. Unfortunately, Irving
was also out that day, recovering
from an ailment. Inopportunely
for the Cavs, the trade was announced literally just before
game time. So Waiters and the
two bench players left the court
for the lockerroom, Coach David
Blatt was left with Kevin Love,
Tristan Thompson, and a handful of warm bodies to fill out a
lineup.
It’s probably a testament to the dreadfulness of the
76ers that the shorthanded Cavs
actually stayed close until the final seconds before losing, 95-92.
Rookie Joe Harris got
the start and scored 16 points.
Thompson scored 18. Love did
yeoman’s work, scoring 28 and
pulling down 19 rebounds. The
76ers won their first Home game
of the season as Tony Wroten led
them with 20 points.
Getting back to the
trade, the Cavs seem to have
improved their lot with the deal
as Smith is a former NBA Sixth
Man of the Year and Shumpert is
a recognized perimeter defender.
Shumpert, averaging 9.3 PPG
this season, is currently recovering from a shoulder injury, but is
expected back soon.
Smith is averaging
about 11 PPG, but has been
shooting only 40% from the field
this year. He has a career 13.3
PPG average and shoots close to
43%, so the hope is that a change
of scenery might bring him back
to form.
and the Buckeyes “D” held the
Crimson Tide to a season low 2
of 13 on 3rd Down conversions.
Alabama had been converting
3rd Downs at a whopping 54%
rate – second in the country. This
was the reference point when
OSU Coach Urban Meyer said,
“This is one of the great team
wins we’ve been a part of.”
Afterward, LB Joshua
Perry, who had five tackles,
pointed out how the linebackers
held Alabama’s rushers in check,
saying, “We’re like a family
here. We trust each other and we
know what to do to help each
other out. Like the linebackers
here, we spend time together
and do things in a group and talk
about the next game. We get to
know each other’s movements
and it helps in our preparation.”
Elliot, who received
the Sugar Bowl MVP Trophy,
told Minority Publishers Assn.,
“This was more than just me.
This was for all of us. If the line
didn’t make those blocks, if the
tight ends don’t spring me, we
wouldn’t have gotten this. It’s
great to get all the accolades,
but the team deserves all of the
credit.”
Before the game, Alabama fans were trash talking
about OSU starting a 3rd string
QB. So, after the game, one
wag said, “Gee, if Ohio State
would’ve started a No. 1 QB,
they may have had to invoke
the mercy rule.” Jones, referring
to this pre-game lack of respect
despite having already led the
Buckeyes to a 59-0 thrashing of
Wisconsin in the Big Ten Title
Game, said, “It was all about Alabama and ‘We’re (OSU) the underdogs.’ They said we couldn’t
win, but now who’s left standing?”
After the festivities,
Cardale posted a tweet with just
the words “3rd string” and a
picture of himself stiff-arming
an Alabama defender out of the
way.
held the lead until the 4th quarter. The most surprising aspect
was that undrafted Rookie QB
Conner Shaw was making his
regular season NFL debut for
the Browns. The Browns “D”
also was holding more than their
own against Baltimore, holding
Joe Flacco to a 50 % completion percentage and around 150
yards, until he got second wind
in the 4th quarter, in which he
completed 8 of 9 passes for 161
yards. The Ravens scored 17
points, took the lead at the 7:33
mark, and came away with a 2010 win.
The win, couple with
San Diego’s loss, earned the Ravens a Wild Card berth. The AFC
North ended up with three teams
– titlist Pittsburgh, who defeated
the Bengals in the season’s last
game, Cincinnati, and Baltimore
in the playoffs. Pittsburgh will
host the Ravens this Saturday in
a Wild Card Game.
The season started to
go sour when the Browns saw
hometown Hero Hoyer become
inconsistent and seem to lose a
sense of touch on the ball. They
then saw media darling Johnny
Manziel fall flat on his face when
given the opportunity to start,
and get injured too boot. In the
season finale, Conner Shaw, elevated from the Practice Squad,
actually showed some promise,
throwing for 177 yards against
a tough Baltimore “D,” but the
Browns apparently consider his
skill set not too formidable.
The Browns QB quandary is so bad that when GM Ray
Farmer was asked in his “end of
year synopsis” press conference
if he would hesitate to take a QB
in the 1st Round for the second
straight year, answered, “Nope, I
would not. I would not hesitate
to take whoever I thought could
help this football team and move
us forward.”
Terrance West, who’d
been in Coach Mike Pettine’s
doghouse because of “poor practices,” ran for 94 yards against
Baltimore, to end the season
leading the Browns with 673
yards rushing. Sometimes bad
practice players are good game
players. Isaiah Crowell had six
yards to finish the year with 603
yards.
Josh Gordon, who
had a 10-game NFL suspension
for substance abuse to begin
the year, got suspended for the
final game for missing Saturday’s walk-through practice, so
ended the season with 303 yards.
It may be a stretch to expect
him back next season. Andrew
Hawkins ended up as leading receiver with 824 yards.
There were bright
spots to give hope for next year.
Paul Kruger, Donte Whitner,
Joe Haden stood out on defense. Center Alex Mack, whose
year-ending injury changed the
Browns blocking schemes, will
be back, so the running game
and pass protection for whoever
is QB should improve. Also, the
Browns coaching staff showed
enough success to merit a second year, which doesn’t happen
much around these parts. And,
if they devote attention to clock
management, they could win a
game or two from that alone.

Cavs making news with trades
By KARL BRYANT
The Cavs are in the
midst of on-court doldrums
while LeBron James is taking a
two-week hiatus to recover from
some aches and pains. They’ve
lost sparkplug Anderson Varejao

eight games, but at press time,
stand at 19-16, so are well within
range for making the playoffs
while still figuring things out.
So, the Cavs front office figured
it was time to play Lets Make a

In a three-team deal on

Browns have discouraging end to season
By KARL BRYANT
The Browns Season,
which began with such high
hopes due to their improved play
early on, ended with five discouraging losses. The Browns
were 6-3 after having beaten
division rivals Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati each by 21 points.
But, Houston’s defense exposed
the Browns weaknesses and they
handed them a harsh loss to begin the downward trend.
The following week,
Brian Hoyer, who had such a
fine first half of the year, recovered from three INTS to lead
Cleveland to a near-miraculous
last-second win against Atlanta
to improve to 7-4, but that was
their last “W.” The Browns,
amid a QB calamity, lost their
last five times out to finish with
a losing record for the seventh
straight year.
In their final game
against division rival Baltimore, the Browns shockingly
Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
Roy Jones Jr. was the best ever at 168 pounds
Who was the best
168 pound boxer since the
inception of the weight class
in 1984. Many will favor
Joe Calzaghe because of his
numerous title defenses. It
would be hard not to say
Leonard or Hearns as their
classic battle at 168 pounds.
ended in a controversial
draw. Really neither boxer
spent a lot of time in this
weight class to make a major
impact. Well for my money I
feel the most formidable super middleweight titleholder
was Roy Jones Jr. In the two
years he held the crown he
made six successful defenses,
all by knockout.
Jones won the title
by defeating unbeaten James
Toney. This much anticipated
Super Bout took place on November 18, 1994. Toney had
Jones
won the title in 1993 with an
impressive stoppage of Iran
Barkley. Entering the Las Vegas ring to face Jones, Toney
sported a 44-0-2 record. The
fight wasn’t even close. Jones
scored a flash knockdown
over Toney in the third round.
Jones then proceeded to walk
off with the title by scores of
119-108, 118-109 and 117111.
In March of 1995,
Jones blitzed the capable Antoine Byrd in a single round.
Then in June he dominated
the popular Vinny Pazienza.
The bout was halted in six
rounds. Then Jones took
out veteran contender Tony
Thornton in three rounds.
In 1996, Jones belted out the game and hard
punching Merqui Sosa in
two rounds. Rough and tough
Eric Lucas was next and his
grit and determination took
him into the 12th and final
round when the bout was finally stopped.
In 2001, Lucas
would win the WBC version of the title. In his sixth
and final defense he took out
unbeaten Bryant Brannon
in the second round. One
month later Jones would
defeat Mike McCallum for
light heavyweight honors.
Yes Joe Calzaghe won a 12
round decision over Jones in
2008 but that was 12 years
after Jones had reigned supreme in the 168 pound division.
Taking the Toney
fight and all six of his defenses into account the
combined record of Jones’
opposition was an astounding 208-21-7. That should
clearly show how dominant
Jones was at this weight.
Could Jones have beaten
Leonard or Hearns ?
Good question but
it is plain that nobody other
then maybe Calzaghe dominated like Jones did at 168
pounds.

Grand prize-winning recipes by young chefs
( N A P S I ) — Yo u
could have a secret weapon for
keeping your family healthy
right in your own home: your
kitchen table.
That’s because research shows that children who
help cook dinner with their
family are more likely to have
a healthier diet with more fruits
and vegetables. To help families spend more time around the
kitchen table and improve their
lives, the UNCLE BEN’S®
Brand launched the Ben’s Beginners™ Cooking Contest. It
strives to inspire healthful lifelong eating habits by getting
children interested in cooking
at an early age.
Through the contest,
the UNCLE BEN’S® Brand
has been able to award nine
school cafeteria makeovers in
just two years. Its two grandprize winners have been able to
impact their schools for years
to come with their entries.
Check out the updates from
their schools and their prizewinning recipes below.
Sydney
Fialkow
from Atlanta, Ga., won the first
Ben’s Beginners™ Cooking
Contest Grand Prize in 2012
for Epstein School.
She and her mother,
Stacy, cooked up her winning
rice and chicken recipe and
rallied their community to support her entry by voting online.
Epstein School was able to use
the prize funds as a springboard
to launch its capital campaign
and update many areas of the
school. It began by purchasing
new seating for the cafeteria
and a yogurt machine. Check
out Sydney’s winning recipe:
Sydney’s Rice and Chicken
1 cup chopped onions
4-6 boneless skinless
chicken breast fillets (about 1½
lb.)
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. coarse-ground
black pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup UNCLE
BEN’S® ORIGINAL CONVERTED® Brand Rice
½ cup chopped red
bell pepper
½ cup chopped green
bell pepper
1 cup frozen green
peas
1 tsp. chopped fresh
cilantro
1 tsp. dried oregano
As needed, yellow
food coloring (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°
F. Spray glass baking dish
evenly with cooking spray.
Place onions in baking
dish; top with chicken fillets. Season the chicken evenly with salt,
black pepper and garlic powder.
Pour chicken broth into
baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove baking dish
from oven. Transfer chicken
breast fillets to container and reserve.
In baking dish, add rice,
bell peppers, peas, cilantro and
oregano. If desired, add 2 shakes
of yellow food coloring. Stir rice
mixture.
Arrange reserved chicken breast fillets over rice.
Cover and bake for 25
minutes.
Remove from oven,
gently stir rice mixture, cover
with foil and bake an additional
10 minutes or until chicken is
fully cooked, rice is tender and all
liquid is absorbed.
In 2013, the second year
of the contest, Claire Noles of
Boaz, Ala., won the Grand Prize
for her school, Corley Elementary. Since winning, Corley purchased new tables for the cafeteria, a sound system and projection
screen with the prize funds.
The school is currently
still finalizing its new-and-improved cafeteria to unveil later
this school year.
The updated cafeteria
equipment and lunchroom facility
will help the school prepare food
on-site; lunch was previously
prepared at another location and
driven in each day.
“All in all, this prize
money will greatly impact the students in our community by giving
them an opportunity to eat freshly
prepared and healthier meals,”
said Rachel Noles, Claire’s mother. “This has been the gift that just
keeps on giving!”
Check out Claire’s delicious and easy recipe:
Claire’s

Jazz
By NANCY ANN LEE
King Oliver
Cornetistand
bandleader (Joe) King Oliver was
born in 1885 in New Orleans
His career began in
hometown brass bands, dancebands, and other small groups in
Crescent City cabarets and bars.
Claimed to be the spiritual father of syncopated ("hot")
jazz, he moved to Chicago in
1918 and formed King Oliver's
Creole Jazz Band (June 1922)
with cornetists Louis Armstrong,
clarinetist Johnny Dodds, trombonist Honore Dutrex, pianist Lil
Hardin, drummer Baby Dodds,
and bassist-banjo player Bill
Johnson.
Oliver began recording
in 1923 what are now considered
historic masterpieces.
After Armstrong departed in 1924, Oliver completely
reorganized his band to include
saxophones.
He went to New York,
had a successful but brief club
engagement before his group
disbanded.
He toured widely in the
Midwest and upper South from
1920-1936, but made no further
recordings after 1931. Considered
to be an important New Orleansstyle musician, his recordings
have been reissued.
His tune "Dipper Mouth
Blues," later known as"Sugar
Foot Stomp," became a classic.
Although he was an
excellent bandleader, Oliver's
playing style was superseded by
Louis Armstrong's and by 1937
he was forgotten and in failing
health.
He died in Savannah
in 1938.

Da 'Round Da Way Rewind Review
'AVP: Alien vs. Predator' is a memorable movie
By C.M.APPLING
One of the sci-fi/
horror genre’s most famous
and successful film franchises
is the Alien series. After the
original Alien (1979) debuted,
it catapulted white actress
Sigourney Weaver into the role
of lead, action heroine Ellen
Ripley, that was followed by
three sequels: Aliens (1986);
Alien 3 (1992) and Alien: Resurrection (1997). When word
got out that they were casting a
female lead to replace Weaver
in a new film that would combine the two, monster
franchises of both the Alien
and Predator motion-pictures,
history was made when beautiful, competent, African-American actress Sanaa Lathan was
hand-picked for the role.
The daughter of
black, Hollywood director/
producer Stan Lathan, Sanaa
starred in the
romantic comedies The Best
Man (1999) and Brown Sugar
(2002) as well as the romantic drama Love & Basketball (2000) before appearing
in AVP: Alien vs. Predator
(2004). Taken from the late
1980’s, Dark Horse Comics,
crossover comic book series
of the same name, AVP documents the history Earth has
with the two warring, extraterrestrial species of the acidblooded, ‘xenomorph’ Aliens
and the green-blooded, humanoid Predators.
In orbit above Earth,
a satellite owned by billionaire Charles Bishop Weyland
(Lance Henriksen) signals a
station in Nebraska that it has
identified an unusual ‘heat
bloom’ on Boga toya Island in
Antarctica.
Not wasting any
time, Weyland has his black,
British, corporation representative Maxwell Stafford
(Colin Salmon) retrieve black
ice-climber/ expedition guide
Alexa ‘Lex’ Woods (Lathan)
from a glacier in Nepal. Italian archaeologist, Professor
Sebastian DeRosa (Raoul
Bova) is also recruited by the
enigmatic Stafford during a
dig in Mexico. Lex is taken by
a helicopter to an ice-breaker
ship where she meets Weyland and a group of experts
he has assembled. Weyland
informs them that his satellite
detected an ancient pyramid
below 2,000 feet of ice, that is
a combination of Aztec (Hispanic), Cambodian (Asian)
and Egyptian (Middle Eastern)
architecture. [The casting of
Lathan in the lead reflects this
racial mixing as, with her tan
skin color, she could pass for
any of the three races]. Sebastian conforms that it is the first
pyramid built by Earth’s first
civilization. Lex tries to warn
Weyland’s team of rushing into
this expedition by ignoring important time restraints. However, she changes her mind
about leading but makes sure
to tell them to follow her direct
orders to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, a Predator spaceship fires a thermal laser that
instantly digs a tunnel/hole
down to the pyramid.
When
Weyland’s
team arrives, the pyramid is
beneath an abandoned whaling station.Lex discovers that
Weyland is terminally ill but
grants him his desire to continue the mission.After Lex, Sebastian, Weyland, Stafford and
some others go down the tunnel to the pyramid, the Predator ship drops three, smaller
pods, each containing a Predator warrior. By walking inside
the pyramid, the team activates
the automatic system to bring
the shackled, Alien Queen out
of cryogenic hibernation to begin laying eggs. Above on the
base camp, the three Predators
quickly kill the human surveyors. Inside, the team finds a
‘Sacrificial Chamber’. Lex,
Sebastian, Weyland and Stafford separate to explore a room
beneath that holds a sarcophagus containing ancient Predator energy-guns. When the
guns are removed, it activates
the pyramid to reconfigure
every10 minutes as a shifting
maze. It also sends the Predators into ‘battle mode.’
The team left in the
Sacrificial Chamber are ‘impregnated’ by the ‘face-huggers’ from the eggs and later
give ‘birth’ to Aliens through
their chests. After that, there is
a 3-way war between humans,
Aliens and Predators, as Weyland and Stafford are killed by
Predators.
Then, two Predators
are killed by the Aliens. Lex
and Sebastian are able to piece
together the historical relation-
ship between the warring factions and that of humans. The
Predators helped build Earth’s
first civilization and were worshipped by humans as gods.
Every 100 years, the Predators would return to Earth,
to use humans as vessels to
‘breed’ the Aliens. This was
so that young, Predator males
could fight the Alien hordes as
a ’rite of passage’ to become
true warriors. After Sebastian
is captured by the Aliens, he
is shot by Lex in a mercy killing to prevent his death when
an Alien would burst itself
through his rib cage.
In ‘The Enemy Of
My Enemy Is My Friend’ kind
of decision, Lex convinces
the last,remaining Predator of
the original three, to team together in order to survive and
escape the pyramid, which is
now literally crawling with
Aliens. [Unknown to her, the
last Predator has been ‘impregnated’ by a face-hugger]. The
duo plants a bomb to vaporize the entire pyramid before
making it topside again. In
recognition of her bravery and
as a warrior, the last Predator
marks her face. In the climax
of the action-packed feature,
Lex and the last warrior must
fight the Alien Queen, who has
managed to somehow make it
to the surface also. They tie a
chain around the Queen which
links her to a large tower they
have sink underwater to drag
her to a dark, murky end. Fatally wounded by the Alien
Queen, the body of the fallen
warrior is retrieved from Lex
by the Predator Leader. He
rewards her with a battle staff
before leaving Earth. As the
ship prepares to return to their
world, a Predator/ Alien hybrid
bursts through the chest of the
retrieved corpse (leading to
the beginning of the next film,
AVP-R: Alien vs. Predator:
Requiem).
The history of monster icons clashing in films
together goes back to classics
such as Dracula vs. Frankenstein, Godzilla vs, King Ghidorah and even Freddy vs, Jason.
But, casting a black woman in
the lead, action role of one of
this genre is very rare and Lathan’s performance in the AVP
movie was of definite, memorable merit to the popular series.

Florence Zenobia Crittenden’s legacy raises money for JDRF
By PAT WHITE
Karen Wilson
lost her daughter, Florence Zenobia Crittenden
in 2001 to Juvenile Diabetes. Crittenden was 34
years old when she died,
and she had lived with
the disease since being
diagnosed at the age of
14.
Wilson used the
pain that only a mother
who has lost a child
knows to turn to the
memory of her daughter into help for families
dealing with juvenile
diabetes.
Wilson sponsors the Florence Zenobia Crittenden/ Ms. Clairol team in the annual
Walk to Cure Diabetes
which raises money to
fund research projects to
find a cure for type I diabetes.
Locally,
the
funds support the Northeast Ohio Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation (JDRF).
In Crittenden’s
name, thousands of dollars have been donated to
help find a cure.
The Walk to
Cure Diabetes is JDRF’s
largest
fund-raising
event. In Northeast Ohio
in 2014, with over 7,000
people participating in
the Walk To Cure Diabetes, more than $1 million was raised to support
T1D research.
Education is a
big part of JDRF mission. Knowing the warning signs for type 1 diabetes could save a life.
Symptoms of
Crittenden
type 1 diabetes may occur suddenly, and parents should be aware
of the warning signs:
extreme thirst;frequent
urination; sudden vision
changes; sugar in urine;
fruity, sweet, or winelike odor on breath; increased appetite; sudden
weight loss; drowsiness,
lethargy; heavy, labored
breathing; and stupor,
unconsciousness. Education about the symptoms
Wilson
of type 1 diabetes is critical because type 1 can
easily be mistaken for
more common illnesses,
such as the flu, and misdiagnosis can have tragic
consequences.
If a child exhibits any of these symptoms, call a doctor immediately.
According to
JDRF, as many as 3 million Americans may have
type 1 diabetes. Each
year, more than 15,000
children and 15,000
adults, approximately 80
people per day, are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the U.S. As with
many diseases, early diagnosis goes a long way
toward preventing serious health problems, and
even death.
Several educational and fund-raising
events are planned for
2015: A Dream Gala
will be held on Saturday,
April 25 at 6:30 p.m. at

Type 1 free educational
day will be held on May

University. The event is

first time in this production, capturing the
dynamic between two
royal sisters, Anna and
Elsa. Anna, a girl with
an extraordinary heart,
embarks on an epic journey to find her sister,
the magical Elsa, who
is determined to remain
secluded as she finally
feels free to test the limits of her powers.
Rugged mountain man Kristoff, his
loyal reindeer Sven, the
lovable and hilarious
snowman Olaf and the
mystical trolls help Anna
along the way in this story about love conquering
fear.
Audiences will
get to sing along with
such musical masterpieces as “Let it Go,”
“Do You Want to Build
a Snowman?” and “Fixer
Upper.”
Frozen directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee add, “Seeing
audiences around the
world embrace Frozen
has been the experience
of a lifetime. And to
now have the chance to
consult with the talented
team at Feld Entertainment and watch their
creation come to life on
ice, is thrilling.”

Florence Zenobia’s Prayer, 2000
Dear God,
I just want to say thank you. I’ve been
blessed in so many ways. You’ve loved me and
cared for me, when I didn’t even know. Yes, I know
my health isn’t the best, but, you’ve given me this
experience for a reason. The pain has never been
too tough and the struggle has never been too hard.
There’s only one reason why, Lord, it’s you. You’ve
taught me to let go and let God. Every other day,
there’s a new challenge, but I have peace and serenity, knowing you’ll work it out. I feel like my body
is healed, even though I must go through the mortal
process. Everyday I wake, I thank you for giving
me another chance at life and to do your will. My
spirit has never been higher. I no longer think of
today. I think of the future you’ve promised. So, I
promise to strive, achieve and commit to doing your
will. God, I know we have a personal relationship,
but, if you don’t mind, I’d like to share this note
of gratitude with a few special friends. They need
to know how marvelous you are and you can be in
their lives too so whomever is reading this, please
let me encourage you to let Him in. He’ll do wonders in your life. Thanks Again, Florence Zenobia
