Brown
Plans fail to offer smoking cessation tools
Kassius Brown is a happy
8 month old baby boy who likes
to play with his sister, Sariah. His
favorite toy is his mom’s phone.
His favorite food is banana and
mixed berry baby food. He is the
son of Betty Brown and Christopher
Lockett.
Kicking the smoking habit is one of the most
difficult things many Ohioans will ever do, and a new
report finds that overwhelming majority of the state’s
marketplace health insurance plans are not helping
them in the way they should be. The affordable Care
Act requires marketplace insurers to provide free tools
and medications to help smokers quit, but according
to a new analysis , only one of the 16 plans currently
meets the full requirements.

Brelo goes to trial for deaths
Brelo
Officer Michael Brelo,
31, will be the only Cleveland
police officer to stand trial for the
shooting deaths of Timothy Russell, 43, and Malissa Williams,
30, following a high-speed police chase on November 29, 2012.
Thirteen officers shot 137 rounds
and killed Russell and Williams,
who were unarmed.
Brelo fired 49 rounds that
night, which meant he had to reload twice. Brelo jumped on the
hood and fired 15 rounds through
the windshield after the car had
stopped and Russell and Williams
no longer posed a threat. Autopsies
showed that Russell and Williams
were each shot more than 20 times.
According to legal experts, prosecutors have to prove
that the bullets came from Brelo’s
gun and then that those were the
shots that killed Russell and Williams.
Prosecutors will also have
to prove that Brelo was not in fear for
his life, a burden that has not been
overcome in several recent high-profile police shooting cases.
Brelo asked to waived his
right to a trial by jury, and Judge
John P. O’Donnell will decide the
case which starts on April 6.
Defense attorneys previously attempted to remove Judge
O’Donnell from the case, but that
request was rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court in October.
Brelo has pleaded not guilty
to two counts of voluntary manslaughter in the deaths of Russell and
Williams.
Cleveland settled a civil
suit with the Williams and Russell
families for 3 million dollars to be
divided equally between the familes
in 2014.
Gun violence continues to increase
Gerron McMiller, 32,
was arrested and charged with felonious assault in connection with
the triple shooting at Jax Bar, 1311
E. 49 Street, on March 21 about
2:00 a.m.
According to police,
three men were all shot in their
legs. Two victims, 20 and 23 year
old males, were shot inside the
bar while the third victim, 27 year
old male, was shot outside. The
three victims were taken by EMS
to MetroHealth Medical Center
In another incident, a
man was shot during a bar fight at
the Castle, 3837 Ridge Road, on
March 26.
According to Cleveland
Council President Kevin Kelley,
the Castle, which is managed by a
Cleveland police officer, has been
the scene of several shootings, and
he is taking measures to have the
McMiller
bar shut down.
At Club Tiko, another
shooting incident, left a man shot
in the leg. The victim reported
that he was at the bar when a fight
broke out and people began fleeing
the bar. Club Tiko, after a history
of violence since 2012, is on track
to be shut down by the city.
Gas prices increase in area
Northeast Ohio gas
prices increase by four cents according to AAA East Central’s
Fuel Gauge report. The national
average is $2.42
Today’s national average price for regular unleaded
gasoline is $2.42 per gallon.
Consumers are paying two cents
more than one month ago and
$1.13 less than the same date last
year. The national average has
now fallen for 17 of the past 23
days.
The status of regional
refineries continues to be a driving factor for gas prices in many
parts of the country. While prices
over the past month are higher
for many drivers, year-overyear price comparisons continue
to highlight universal savings.
Sharply lower oil prices have
resulted in substantially less expensive gas prices in every state.
After briefly rising back
above $50 per barrel last week,
the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil dropped back
below that threshold to end last
week. Crude prices have fallen
to multi-year lows due largely to
ample global production.
The possibility of increased exports from Iran should
a nuclear deal be reached this
week would further increase production and has for now offset
any “risk premium” stemming
from regional stability due to
violence in Yemen.
A possible deal between
the West and Iran could bring
an estimated 500,000 barrels
per day of additional oil to the
global market, which would add
more supply to an already wellsupplied market and exert further
downward pressure on crude
prices.
At the close of Friday’s
formal trading on the NYMEX,
WTI settled down $2.56 at
$48.87 per barrel.

The notorious bar, Club
Fly High, in the 7100 block of Superior Avenue, was issued a temporary restraining order in February by
Cuyahoga County Judge Brendan
Sheehan, and is temporarily shut
down and boarded up following the
shooting death of William Burton Jr.,
who was found shot to death in the
bathroom. According to EMS, Burton was shot in the chest multiple
times. He was taken to MetroHealth
Medical Center where police say he
died.
City leaders were forced to
take action after shootings at four different bars left one person dead and
seven injured during the past eight
weeks.
Legislators have yet to
move to amend the 2011 law that
permits guns in bars. The Republican-controlled Ohio House passed
the law “to permit a concealed carry
licensee to possess a firearm in a liquor permit premises, or an open air
arena, for which a D permit has been
issued if the licensee is not consuming beer or intoxicating liquor or under the influence of alcohol or a drug
of abuse.”
There have been 20 homicides in the city this year.
EMS and the Cleveland Fire Department assist an accident victim after prying him out of his car on Monday
at about 10:05 a.m. According to a witness, the car was going west on Kinsman Ave. between Grand Ave. and Ensign
Ave. when the driver crossed over into the eastbound lane and hit the fence at rear gate of Green City Growers, 5800
Diamond Avenue. The victim was transported by EMS to St. Vincent Charity Hospital.
E. Cleveland to consider merger
East Cleveland Mayor
Gary Norton will not face a recall because the petitions presented to the Board of Elections
did not have the required (559)
valid signatures.
Although the petitioners presented 728 signatures,
377 (55.85%) were deemed valid leaving the petition 222 signatures short from forcing Norton
into a recall election.
A similar effort last
year came up 300 signatures
short. The recall election would
cost the city approximately
$42,000.
Norton took office in
2010, and is serving his second
term.
Surviving
residents
wanting to recall him is just one
hurdles that Norton has cleared
as he discusses with city council
whether the city should merge
with Cleveland.
Norton created a sixmember commission that has
120 days to agree to a plan to
Norton
merge, and the plan would then be
placed before East Cleveland voters in an election.
East Cleveland is in a
state of fiscal emergency, subject to
limited state oversight, for the third
time since 1988.
The city has struggled
with a lack of financial resources
for years, and the city needs $17
million to run its operations and
provide services to residents. It
falls short yearly by $ 7 million
dollars since the city has lost about
half its population, now down to
about 17,000 residents. Forty-two
percent of the residents live below
the poverty line, and about 1,000
structured are classified as “distressed.”
According to some of the
petitioners, there is no transparency over how money was used that
was given to the city by the Cleveland Clinic when Huron Hospital
closed in 2011. To lessen the burden the Clinic gave East Cleveland
about $8 million to help make up
for the loss of income tax revenue.
The Cleveland Clinic
was also to pay for the estimated
$12 million cost of demolishing
the 137-year-old hospital, with
the city being given the resulting
green space.
According to Norton, the
Cleveland Clinic paid the $8 million and the money went into the
city’s general fund.
If voters reject merging
with Cleveland, East Cleveland
will be forced to declare bankruptcy.

By PAT WHITE

he was appointed by former Mayor
Carl B. Stokes as director in June
1971.
He also served in the
cabinets of the late mayor Ralph J.
Perk, former mayor Dennis J. Kucinich and former mayor George V.
Voinovich.
Williams developed human relations training for all
Cleveland police and citizens

Health Insurance plans fail to offer coverage
The overwhelming majority of state health
insurance
marketplace
plans are not providing
the coverage they should
be for smoking cessation.
The plans in Ohio are no
exception. Millions of
Americans who have enrolled in health insurance
marketplace plans should
be provided with free tools
to quit smoking, but a new
report from the American
Lung Association shows
fewer than 20 percent of
plan issuers nationwide are
providing the appropriate
coverage.
State health insurance marketplace plans are
required by the Affordable
Care Act (ACA) to help
smokers quit as a free essential health benefit. The
new State Health Insurance Marketplace Plans:
New Opportunities to Help
Smokers Quit report concludes that the vast majority of these plans are falling
short.
The report shows
that only 60 plan issuers
out of 348—or 17 percent—nationwide are covering tobacco cessation
medications with no costsharing as required in the
Affordable Care Act, and
fewer than half of issuers
list those seven approved
cessation medications on
their publically available
drug lists, or formularies. Only one state, West
Virginia, had tobacco cessation medications fully
covered for its marketplace
enrollees. West Virginia’s
only plan selling in the
state’s marketplace was in
full compliance.
In Ohio, while all
insurance plans cover some
cessation medications, only
two out of 16 insurance
plans are in full compliance
with ACA guidance. Most
Ohio insurers show coverage for prescription products but fewer plans are
making over-the-counter
products available.
“Marketplace
plans here in Ohio are not
only falling short of the
guidelines set by the Affordable Care Act, but
more importantly, they are
also missing a critical opportunity to help Ohioan’s
quit smoking,” said Shelly
Kiser, Director of Advo-
cacy for the American
Lung Association in Ohio.
“Ohio has the eighth highest smoking rate in the nation, and data suggests that
smoking rates of people enrolled in marketplace plans
are high, which means we
are missing the chance to
offer full cessation benefits
to those who may need it
the most.”
According to the
ACA and federal guidance,
all plans should cover a
comprehensive tobacco
cessation benefit:
At least four sessions of individual, group
and telephone cessation
counseling. All FDAapproved tobacco cessation medications (nicotine
patch, gum, lozenge, nasal
spray and inhaler; bupropion and varenicline); At
least two quit attempts per
year, No cost-sharing, like
copays, coinsurance or deductibles, and No prior authorization requirements.
“Helping smokers quit is proven to save
lives and money. Quitting
is hard and our policymak-
ers need to do all they can
to make sure tobacco users
have the tools available to
quit for good,” Kiser said.
“It’s important that our
policy makers here in Ohio
support effective policy
changes like increasing the
cigarette and other tobacco
products tax and by making sure all insurance plans
cover a comprehensive cessation benefit with no-cost
sharing.”
Tobacco use is
the number-one preventable cause of disease and
death in the United States,
and is responsible for almost 500,000 deaths each
year. Tobacco use costs our
country over $289 billion
annually in smoking-related healthcare expenses and
lost productivity. Almost 70
percent of smokers want to
quit. This year, 20,200 will
die from their own smoking
and tobacco-related illnesses will cost more than $5.6
billion.

tobacco control policies in
Ohio, visit State of Tobacco
Control.

Tax phone scams continue to be a serious threat nationwide
As April 1st approaches, the IRS warns
taxpayers not to be fooled
by the tricks scammers use
to take advantage of those
they target. Scammers use
fake names, provide bogus
IRS badge numbers and alter
caller ID numbers to make it
look like the IRS is calling.
With the final two
weeks of the filing season
about to begin and millions
preparing their returns, taxpayers should be alert.
“This is no April
Fool’s joke. Everyone should
be on the lookout for threat-
ening calls from people faking IRS phone numbers and
demands for immediate payment,” IRS Commissioner
John Koskinen said. “These
are scams. I urge taxpayers to stay vigilant and remain aware of the constantly
changing tactics used by
these criminals.”
As the filing season
nears its end, there has been a
surge of phone scams where
scam artists threaten police
arrest, deportation, license
revocation and other threats.
They often leave
“urgent” callback requests
and sometimes prey on the
most vulnerable people, such
as the elderly, newly arrived
immigrants and those whose
first language is not English.
Scammers have been known
to impersonate agents from
IRS Criminal Investigation
as well.
Here are five things
the scammers often do but
the IRS will not do.
The IRS will not:
Call to demand immediate payment, nor will
the agency call about taxes
owed without first having
mailed you a bill.
Demand that you
pay taxes without giving you
the opportunity to question or
appeal the amount they say
you owe.
Require you to use a
specific payment method for
your taxes, such as a prepaid
debit card.
Ask for credit or
debit card numbers over the
phone.
Threaten to bring
in local police or other lawenforcement groups to have
you arrested for not paying.
If you get a phone
call from someone claiming
to be from the IRS and asking for money, here’s what

Impersonation Scam Report-
By LEE H. HAMILTON
never even got to a vote. In
both houses, the leaders did
what they could to make
the legislative body of the
world’s greatest democracy
as undemocratic as possible.
Senate Democratic Majority
Leader Harry Reid used legislative maneuvers to block
amendments more often
during his time as majority
leader than any of his five
predecessors. In the House,
Republican leaders used socalled “closed rules,” which
prohibit amendments, a record number of times. Both
approaches denied by legislative device the opportunity
for Congress to work its will.
When Congress did
legislate, it did so in the worst
possible way — by using an
“omnibus” spending bill into
which it crammed everything
it could manage. The bill was
put together in a single week,
guaranteeing minimal study
by the members of Congress
who voted on it. Ostensibly
meant to fund the government through September, it
contained a host of provisions that deserved a full airing.
Instead, with virtually no public debate, Congress multiplied the amount
of money that wealthy donors
can give to the political parties; loosened regulations on
Wall Street; cut funding for
the Environmental Protection Agency, forcing it to its
lowest staffing level in over
two decades; and hacked
funding for the IRS. This last
measure, a gift to tax cheats,
was an especially egregious
assault on ordinary taxpayers, who will now be asked to
foot a bill that robust enforcement of the tax laws would
have spared them.
Congress’s reliance
on omnibus bills, which are
written in secret, has had a
variety of pernicious effects.
The procedure violates every rule of good legislative
process, denying transparency and accountability. It
allows Capitol Hill to curry
favor with all sorts of special
interests but no public reckoning. It forces — or allows
— members to vote for provisions that would have had
little chance of surviving on
their own.
And it puts enormous power in the hands of
the leadership of both parties
— not least because lobbyists
have come to understand that
they need to have a representative in the room where the
omnibus is crafted, and therefore they focus money and attention on leaders.
The last Congress
maintained one other lamentable trend: it took “oversight” to mean injecting its
investigations with excessive
partisanship — Benghazi, the
IRS’s examination of conservative groups, the VA’s mis-
handling of health care for
veterans — while forgetting
the crucial, ongoing oversight of government. It allowed itself to be co-opted by
the intelligence community,
which persuaded Congress
to neglect a public debate on
massive surveillance, hacked
the Senate’s computers, misled Congress about the nature
and extent of torture, and
leaked classified details to the
media.
The congressional
leadership is now under pressure to show Americans that
they can be successful. Let’s
hope they consider “success”
to include avoiding the bad
habits of the past — by paying more attention to their
constituents than to special
interests; enforcing their own
ethics rules more vigorously;
and most of all, following the
“regular order” based on 200
years of legislative experience, which would allow the
full debate and votes Congress needs to serve as a true
coequal branch of government
Looking forward by looking back
With the 114th Congress just underway, the political world is focused intently
on the road ahead. Taxes,
trade, immigration, climate
change, job creation, the Affordable Care Act there’s
a long list of issues and one
burning question: whether
a Republican Congress and
a Democratic President can
find common ground.
Yet before we get
worked up about what’s to
come, we need to take a hard
look at the Congress that just
ended and ask a different
question: Why was it such an
abject failure?
Let’s start with a
basic number. According
to the Library of Congress,
296 bills were passed by the
113th Congress and signed
by the President. Just for
comparison’s sake, the “donothing Congress” of 194748 got 906 bills through.
The Financial Times called
this most recent version “the
least productive Congress in
modern U.S. history.” The
only silver lining was that the
cost of running Congress was
down 11 percent.

failed

place of “blessed.” Why not
tell people to have a good
day? After all, is that not the
objective every day to have
a good day? What is wrong
with good?
But then, the word
“good” is another religious
word and it is also found in
the Bible. So, good has become offensive to people because of its association with
the Bible.
At this point, I got
into a little trouble with my
wife. Of course, that is not
something new for me. If
trouble is not my middle
name, it is at least my destination.
“Why not,” I said
quite cautiously to my wife,
“tell people to have a cursed
day! After all, if they do not
want to have a blessed day
what else is there?”
Well, did I get the
lecture to end all lectures.
I cannot repeat the lecture
because there is not enough
space in all of the newspapers in America to handle it.
Let me just say, I will never
repeat that again.
Once the heat settled
down and the room got quiet,
my wife said something very
thoughtful. “Why are people
soterrifiedoftheBible?”
She hit it that time.
The most amazing thing to
me are people who do not
believe the Bible are deathly
afraid of the Bible. People
who do not believe in God
are deathly afraid of even the
word God or a symbol associated with God.
Some people are really obsessed with God. They
see a cross and think of God.
They see two hands folded
together and they think of
God. They hear certain words
and they think of God.
They see someone
pray and are deathly afraid in
spite of the fact that they say
there is no God and so who in
the world do they think they
are they praying to?
The answer is quite
simple. There is something
deep inside everybody that
believes in God. My advice
is, quit fighting and get to
know this God you are so
afraid of, He is really great.
David understood
this quite well when he wrote,
“Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel from everlasting, and
to everlasting. Amen, and
Amen” (Psalms 41:13).
So, whoever you
are, I say without any apologies whatsoever, “Have a
blessed day.”

of a shortage of salt, sugar,
raisins and almonds. We always like to watch what others are doing without worrying about ourselves. The
nature of this problem is told
from the following story told
to me by an elderly Muslim
scholar. After he led the congregation in prayer, someone
from the congregation came
and told him that his prayer
was invalid. When asked
why, he said “your nose was
not touching the ground in
Sujood”. The Imam replied,
” I am an old man and I had
a heart operation. It is possible that my nose was not
touching the ground during
Sujood but, may I know what
was your nose doing at that
time”? There is another story
which goes like this. The host
was insisting to the guest that
he should eat more of the
sweets that he was serving.
The guest said “no I am full. I
have taken 4 pieces already”.
The host said” No you are
wrong, I have been counting
and you have taken 6 pieces”. In every mosque, there
is sometimes friction between the administrator and
the congregation; between
the Imam, the Shura, and the
board of trustees, between
brothers and sisters, between
conservatives and liberals,
and of course between different ethnic groups. Not only
do these differences hurt the
feelings of one another, but
sometimes has even led to
fightingorcourtbattle.How
do we solve such problems?
We must remember that all
of us are subservient to Allah and His messenger. That
Imam has to be followed
only when he is following
Allah and his messenger. The
Imam expects by his example
to generate love for Him in
the heart of the congregation
members.

It is important for
the congregation to participate in the activities of the
mosque and for the organizers to invite everyone including women to actively participate. Women’s roles should
not be just left for cooking for
the functions in the Mosque
but, even to participate in the
decision making process effecting the mosque as they
would do in their own house.
Children should not consider
Sunday School a place where
they are dragged from home
to memorize some Surah but,
a place so appealing and lively and full of interesting activities that they insist on going there every Sunday. And
their parents should not look
at Sunday School as a babysitting place or a day care
center where they can drop
the kids off and watch the
football games or go shopping. They must be actively
involved in adult education
or whatever activities are going on that day.

Legal Court Interpretation
Bindover hearings in juvenile court
By JUSTICE PAUL E. PFEIFER
In the juvenile court
system, the procedures are different than for the adult criminal justice system. Sometimes,
those differences can give rise
to questions, as was the situation with a juvenile case involving a youth we’ll refer to
as D.M.
On Oct. 15, 2012,
Cincinnati police filed a complaint against D.M. alleging
that he was a delinquent child
in that he committed a theft offense with a deadly weapon.
The complaint alleged that
D.M. had committed an act
that, if committed by an adult,
would constitute aggravated
robbery. The complaint also
alleged that he brandished or
used a firearm to facilitate the
offense.
The state filed a motion asking the juvenile court
to relinquish jurisdiction and
to have D.M. bound over for
prosecution as an adult. Following that, D.M.’s attorney
filed a request for discovery in
accordance with the juvenile
rules – and a previous court
decision – that says due process entitles an accused, upon
request, to evidence known to
the state that is favorable to the
accused and is material to either guilt or punishment.
The state responded
to the request by disclosing the
names of the victim and two
police officers that the prosecuting attorney intended to call
to testify at the bindover hearing.
On the day of the bindover hearing, D.M.’s attorney
filed a motion to compel discovery requesting that the juvenile court order the state to
turn over additional evidence,
including police-report forms
relating to D.M.’s case. The
court held a hearing on the mo-
tion, and D.M.’s attorney asserted that D.M. was entitled
to full discovery, which she
asserted included the police reports.
The state argued
that it had disclosed all the
evidence that it was required
to disclose, in accordance with
the law, for a bindover hearing. After another hearing, the
court ordered the state to turn
over the police reports.
Despite the order,
the state did not turn over the
reports. The court again heard
the parties’ arguments on the
issue of the discoverability of
the police reports. The state
maintained that the police reports were not discoverable
for two reasons: one, because
a bindover hearing is not an
adjudicatory proceeding, and
two, the reports were privileged work product.
D.M.’s attorney filed
a motion for dismissal of the
charges based on the state’s
failure to comply with the
court’s discovery order.
The juvenile court
stated that because the documents were prepared in the
ordinary course of police
work, rather than in anticipation of litigation, they should
have been turned over to the
defense. And because the state
had failed to obey the court’s
order, the juvenile court dismissed the case.
The state appealed,
and the court of appeals reversed the juvenile court’s
judgment. The court of appeals
held that prior to a bindover
hearing, the only evidence that
the state must provide to a juvenile, upon request, is any evidence known to the state that
is favorable to the accused, and
evidence that it intends to use
at the hearing.
The court of appeals
vacated the juvenile court’s
judgment. After that, D.M.’s
case came before us – the Ohio
Supreme Court – for a final review.
In order to establish
probable cause to believe that
a juvenile committed an offense, the state must provide
credible evidence that “raises
more than a mere suspicion
of guilt, but need not provide
evidence proving guilt beyond
a reasonable doubt.”
The juvenile court
has the duty to assess the credibility of the evidence and to
determine whether the state
has presented credible evidence, but it’s not permitted to
exceed the limited scope of the
bindover hearing or to assume
the role of fact-finder at trial.
Regardless of the
limited scope of bindover proceedings, the Supreme Court
of the United States has held
that the bindover hearing is
a “critically important proceeding” and that the hearing
“must measure up to the essentials of due process and fair
treatment.”
At oral arguments for
D.M.’s case, the state asked
our court to clarify what information due process requires
to be turned over in discovery
prior to a bindover hearing. We
provided a list of what information the law requires, including copies of any written
statements by witnesses, and
all evidence favorable to the
respondent and material either
to guilt or punishment.
But what about the
police reports that were at the
center of this case? We determined that the court should not
have ordered the state to turn
over the police reports without
first asking the prosecuting attorney to turn the documents
over for an inspection to determine whether they contained
discoverable material.

sure if you are exempt, ask the
Attorney General’s office or
request an exemption through

Q: Exactly how does
the Attorney General get involved with charities?
A: The Charitable
Trust Act allows the Attorney
General to investigate a charity when board members, key
staff or officers fail to meet
their fiduciary duties and donors or beneficiary interests
are threatened. The Attorney
General’s office also offers
educational resources to help
those involved with charities
understand their duties and
obligations.
Q: What are fiduciary duties and who has them?
A: The Ohio Attorney General recognizes four
fiduciary duties that must be
followed by anyone in a position of authority with a charitable organization (including
board members, officers and
senior staff):
1) Duty of Loyalty –
you must put the interests of
the charity first and avoid conflicts of interest.
2) Duty of Care
– you must be active in the
governance of the charity and
understand its mission and
programs.
3) Duty of Compliance – you must confirm the
charity follows the law and
meets its legal obligations of
registration, reporting and filing tax forms.
4) Duty to Manage
Accounts – you must ensure
the charity makes sound financial decisions and has responsible fiscal policies in place.
Q: What educational
resources does the Ohio Attorney General’s office provide
for charities?
A: The Attorney General offers resources through
its website at www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Business/
Services-for-Charities. These
materials explain fiduciary
duties, help you avoid theft
in your organization and cla-
rify registration and reporting
obligations. The Attorney General’s office also publishes a
newsletter and hosts webinars
to discuss obligations and duties under the Charitable Trust
Act. You can also ask someone from the Attorney General’s
office to provide in-person trainings in your community by
calling 800-282-0515.
The Attorney General also provides information
for those wishing to donate to
charitable organizations. You
can research specific charities
through the website and can
find “good giving” articles and
brochures to help you make
informed decisions about making contributions. You can
find this information at www.
ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Business-and-Non-Profits/Charity/
Good-Giving.aspx
Q: What if my charity
solicits donations or runs bingo
games?
A: In addition to its
duties according to the Ohio
Charitable Trust Act, the Attorney General regulates charitable solicitations through
the Ohio Solicitations Act.
Many charities hire professional fundraisers and solicitors
to help them raise money. In
Ohio, these professional fundraisers must be licensed and
follow certain laws found at
www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/
Business/Professional-Solicitors-and-Fundraisers.
If you host bingo games to raise funds for your charity, you must comply with bingo license laws. Learn more

“Bingo School” and online at

Involving kids in family vacation planning
By JASON ALDERMAN
Family vacations
produce memories for a
lifetime, but they can also
teach kids great money lessons they’ll need as adults.
Involving kids in
planning family vacations
not only helps them appreciate the overall benefits of
travel, but offers an opportunity for even the youngest
kids to learn lessons about
budgeting, saving and essential money management
they will encounter every
day.
If you have trouble tearing your kids away
from their smartphones,
you might be in luck. The
technology kids use can be
very effective in budgeting,
pricing and planning travel.
Surfing travel destinations
can teach kids a great deal
about what travel really
costs.
The first step in
planning the family vacation should be creating a
budget for the trip. Set a
realistic dollar limit for the
trip and be prepared to discuss why that limit exists.
For example, if there is a
home renovation project
scheduled that particular
year, explain how that affects the overall family bud-
get and the resources for the
trip. It’s an important lesson
in balancing fun and family
priorities.
After these limits
are discussed, work with
kids to create a detailed
budget for accommodations, transportation, food,
special event tickets and
souvenirs, particularly souvenirs kids might buy for
themselves. For tips, check
out
(http://practicalmoneyskills.com/travel) for
saving on and this online
calculator (http://practicalmoneyskills.com/travelcalculator) to help plan.
Once the budget is
set, point kids in the direction of certain travel websites to start and let them
bring back as much information as they can on potential locations and costs.
Putting the kids in
charge of travel planning
gives them an opportunity
to learn about trade-offs.
For example, a cross-country trip that involves substantial transportation costs
might contain a valuable
lesson in finding affordable
accommodations.
Depending on the
age of the children doing
the research and how much
advance time is available to

plan the trip, they can also
learn how traveling in season and out of season might
help the budget. Many peak
summer destinations become significantly more affordable if a family chooses
to travel over the winter
holidays.
Above all, trip
planning can teach an important lesson in spending
and savings. If children
want to buy souvenirs or
treats on the trip, that’s an
opportunity to have them
set aside part of their allowance or chore money to pay
for their special purchases
on the trip. To get them
started, help them save for
their goal using this online
calculator (http://practicalmoneyskills.com/savingforagoal).
applied next time. Encourage kids to start researching next year’s destinations
immediately so the money
and activity conversation
can begin even earlier.
Bottom line: Involving your children
in family vacation planning allows them to see
the world and to practice
good budgeting, saving and
spending habits.

Energy freeze resulting in lost investment
It’s been almost a

“We heard about

Cavs beat Heat as Wade injured his knee

In Thursday night’s
Cavs basketball game against
the Miami Heat, the Cavs
used the heat for target practice as they beat them 114-88.
It was the Cavs 17th staright
victory at the ‘Q.’ The Cavs
record is 49-27 and during
the game, LeBron James
scored 23 points with 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Kyrie
Irving scored 23 points with
5 assists.
Kevin Love did not
play due to back problems
encountered in a previous
game.
Dwayne Wade injured his left knee midway
in the 2nd quarter and had to
leave the game.
During the game,
James replaced Patrick Ewing for the 20th spot on the
NBA All-Time Scoring List.
James total points for his career is 24,816.
The game between
the Cavs and the 76ers was
an up and down game for the
Cavs and if they ever start
handing out asterisks along
for questionable wins, this
was one that would certainly
qualify. Just days after losing
a game, 106-98, to the hardcharging Brooklyn Nets,
who’ve gone 8-2 late in the
year and are now sitting in the
final playoff berth, the Cavs
barely won a game against
a team going nowhere – the
76ers. But, the key word is
“won.” It was the Cavs’ 16th
straight home win.
The Cavs had an
eight-point lead at the half
and then seemed to go into
cruise control. The 76ers
hung around and tied the
score early in the final stanza.
The Cavs regained the lead at
the eight minute mark and
then the score started to move
in slow motion (and sometimes the players seemed to,
also). The constant became
the clang of the ball against
the rim – for both teams.
While sitting there,
it seemed like a long time
since anyone had tickled
the twine and a look at the
play-by-play corroborated
that perception. Indeed, the
Cavs last scored on a shot by
Timofey Mozgov with a third
of the 4th quarter remaining
– at 4:03 – and six seconds
later, the 76ers scored on
a perimeter shot by Robert
Covington to make the score,
87-86, Cavaliers. For the remainder of the game, neither
team scored, so the 87-86
score became final.
The shooting was
bad as the Cavs shot 38.8
% and the 76ers shot 40.5
%. Covington led Philadelphia with 19 points. On a
positive note, three Cavs hit
double-doubles – James with
20 points and 11 rebounds,
Mozgov with 14 and 10, and
Love with 10 and 10. On a
headshaking note, James 20
points came on meager eight
of 24 floor shooting.
Laughably, Irving,
not looking to make an interview tape to be a Cavs
salesman as a second career,
during an oncourt postgame
interview, truthfully commented, “That was probably
one of the ugliest games I’ve
ever been at in this building.
We appreciate you (fans)
sticking with us, because,
(sucking noise) that was terrible.”
Philadelphia Coach
Brett Brown questioned the
Cleveland timekeepers, although if you don’t score
in a four-minute stretch, an
extra second or so probably
won’t matter. On his team’s
performance, he said, “The
group feels like we let one
pass through our fingers here
on the road. And I love that.
The competitive spirit and
the pride remains.”
Cavs fans probably will swallow hard realizing they are just one year
removed from looking for
similar moral victories.
Although the game
itself was bad enough, two
Cavs also were injured –
Imam Shumpert, who twisted an ankle while missing a
dunk in the 2nd quarter, and
Love, who suffered a minor
back injury halfway through
the 4th quarter. Their condition will be day-to-day.
The Cavs are scheduled to play the Chicago
Bulls on Sunday at the ‘Q’ at
3:00 p.m.
route to an easy 81-70 win
over Wichita State. Steve Vasturia, who hit a couple of big
threes among his 15 points,
joining others in the Notre
Dame lockerroom to watch the
end of Wisconsin’s win over
North Carolina, said, “You get
open and you take your shots.
We have a lot of good shooters and they can’t cover us
all.” Demetrius Jackson, 4 for
5 from downtown among his
team-leading 20 points, said,
“When we’re sharing the ball
and hitting shots like that, it’s
very hard for anyone to beat
us.” Fred VanVleet’s 25 points
led WSU, while Darius Carter
added 22.
The regional final
was a testament to the excitement of college basketball. As
the arena shook with the noise
from the large Kentucky following and Notre-Dame’s normally large backing, shored up
by their huge amount of Cleveland Alumni and fans, the two
teams played a real barnburner.
Kentucky knew they were in
for a fight from the beginning
and with the score tied 31-all
at halftime, fans eagerly anticipated the 2nd half.
Notre Dame stayed
right in stride and even took
a six-point lead with 6:16 left,
but Kentucky came right back.
Karl-Anthony Townes picked
up his 4th foul with 5:22 left to
play and Notre Dame’s inability to foul him out the rest of the
way was the difference in the
game. Kentucky Coach John
Calipari judiciously brought
Townes back and forth from /
to the bench during alternating possessions to minimize
his chances of fouling out and
it worked. He drew a 4th foul
on Zach Auguste, limiting his
effectiveness, and scored five
big points down the stretch.
Townes ended up leading Kentucky to the win with 25 points,
while Auguste led ND with 20.
Kentucky pulled out
the win when Notre Dame
scored what proved to be their
last points on a three by Jerian
Grant, but then came up empty
on their final three possessions.
One huge play was a loose ball
call that the officials discussed
over video review for several
minutes. The ball was awarded
to ND, but with only one second on the shot clock. Grant’s
hurry-up three attempt was
blocked by Cauley-Stein.
Afterward, the Fighting Irish’s Pat Connaughton
was philosophical, saying, “A
two-point ballgame. You can
look back on every little thing.
You can nitpick the whole
game, but at the end of the day,
that’s basketball.”
Asked what was the
difference between the rest of
the 2nd half, when ND was
successful, and those final
three possessions, when Kentucky made stops, Andrew
Harrison, who made the two
winning free throws, summed
it up, saying, “Desperation,
probably. We had no choice or
we were going to lose.”
While playing at the ‘Q’ ; Kentucky escapes to Final Four
By KARL BRYANT
Kentucky won the
Cleveland Midwest Regional
and it went from looking like
a team that’s almost unbeatable to one that was lucky to
be alive. Their first game became ‘no contest’ from the
getgo – a 39-point beatdown
of West Virginia. But, when
they played Notre Dame in the
regional final, they were lucky
to escape by the skin of their
teeth, 68-66.
When Juwan Staten
made a shot for West Virginia’s
first two points of the game
at the 18:17 mark, not a person in Quicken Loans Arena
thought it would take until the
11:19 mark for Staten and the
rest of the Mountaineers to hit
their second one. By that time,
the score was 18-4 and WVU
spent the rest of the 1st half just
trying to keep from getting the
score tripled on them. At intermission, the Mountaineers had
made a paltry 19.2% of their
shots (5 of 26), while Kentucky
made a blistering 61% (14 of
23) of theirs.
As bad as WVU’s
1st half start was, their 2nd
Half start was almost a carbon
copy. They made a point on a
free throw 16 seconds into the
2nd half and then did not score
again until 11:42 remained.
The score was 54-21 by then
and it was no contest. Who
would have thought that nearly
half of each period would expire before WVU could ripple
the net for a second time?
When the Mountaineers managed to halve the score, 78-39,
Coach Bob Huggins was content to have his charges just
dribble out the clock.
Afterwards, Coach
Huggins could just shake his
head and say, “They took it to
the basket while we couldn’t
score, which was my biggest
fear - that we would have a
hard time scoring.”
Two media types
who normally follow WVU
were discussing, “This was
Huggins’ best coaching job in
years.” One said. “He had one,
maybe two guys who could
score. Everyone else was a
challenge. He had to press to
get turnovers. To get them this
far was a good ‘smoke and mirrors’ job.”
Stats show that WVU
was 282nd in Division I field
goal accuracy - 41.2%.
UK Freshman PG Tyler Ulis, originally from Lima,
Ohio, told Minority Publishers
Assn., “We wanted to show we
could get the ball upcourt and
that we could beat their press,
Anthony-Towns
which we did. We’re too good
a team.” Outspoken C Willie
Cauley-Stein said, “We felt
they were talkin’ trash, that
they were not giving us respect. We wanted to beat them
by 50 points!” WVU’s Devin
Williams offered, “We just got
beat bad. There’s no two ways
about it. Just look forward.”
UK’s Trey Lyles and WV’s
Staten tied with 14 points for
game-high honors.

By JIM AMATO
Billy Joiner boxed with some of the best
In the early 1960′s
Cincinnati produced what
looked to be a blue chip
heavyweight prospect. Billy
Joiner turned professional
in 1962 after a stellar amateur career, He won 86 of 92
fights in the amateur ranks
winning the National AAU
and Golden Gloves light
heavyweight titles in 1962.
He twice crossed gloves with
none other then Cassius Clay.
After turning pro,
Joiner won his first seven
fights. Marion Conner,Amos
Johnson and Lou Bailey were
among the men he defeated.
In 1964 he lost his
first fight. A ten round decision to Amos Johnson for the
Ohio Heavyweight title. He
was then stopped by Hubert
Hilton and outscored by Jim-
Joiner
my “The King” Fletcher.
Joiner then fought
three straight draws against
Piero Tomasoni,Dante Cane
and Chuck Leslie.
In 1968, Joiner
would go to Los Angeles to
face the feared former heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. Liston had embarked on
a comeback and was slowly
working his way back into
the ratings. Joiner was halted
in the 7th round.
Ten months later
Billy would meet Liston
again. This time in St.Louis.
The game and crafty Joiner
extended Liston the full ten
rounds in losing a decision.
In his next bout,
Joiner would score a major
upset outpointing Canadian
Robert Cleroux eliminating
Cleroux from a proposed title
match with WBA champion
Jimmy Ellis. The tide turned
quickly though as Joiner
would lose his next seven
fights.
It
was
against
some stiff competition like
Zora Folley,Alvin “Blue”
Lewis,Juergen
Blin,Mac
Foster,Bernd August,Larry
Holmes and Oscar Bonavena.
He did gain some
measure of revenge halting
Fletcher in a rematch.
A one round KO
loss to Alfredo Evangalista
followed that.
Joiner didn’t fight
again for three and a half
years but closed his career
with a victory outscoring
Young Louis in Detroit.
Joiner finished his
career with a 12-13-3 record.
It is a very decieving record.
Along the way he met two
world champions and three
others that challenged for the
crown.
Add in legitimate
contenders like Mac Foster
and “Blue” Lewis and you
can see Joiner boxed with
some of the best.

Just
Jazz
By NANCY ANN LEE
Coleman Hawkins
Mention tenor saxophone stylists today and
Coleman Hawkins is the first
name that comes up. He was
a pioneer whose full-bodied warm tones and buoyant
rhythmic feel have inspired
countless jazz musicians since
the 1930's.
Hawkins was born in
St. Joseph, Mo. in 1904. His
music studies began on piano,
cello and, by age nine, tenor.
He gained fame as a
soloist for his first recordings
with Fletcher Henderson's
band in 1923. He left the band
in 1934 to perform and record
in Europe with Benny Carter,
Django Reinhardt and others.
In 1939, he returned
to the U.S., formed a nine
piece band (until 1941) which
recorded his biggest, "Body
& Soul," and, then a nationally recognized artist, he assembled the band for the first
bop record session (on Apollo)
in 1944.
Hawkins continued
to tour internationally and to
record with major jazz luminaries until the late 1960s. By
then, his health was declining
due to heavy drinking. He
died on May 19, 1969 of bronchial pneumonia in New York
City's Wickersham Hospital.
Hawkins was the
most influential person in the
evolution of the tenor saxophone, enjoying great artistic
and commercial success and
the first tenorman to creatively
reconstruct ballads. He was
considered a legend in his own
time and is still admired today
for his extraordinary artistry.
Countless recordings
he made are still available.

Da 'Round Da Way Rewind Review
'Enemy of the State' actor's career started with sitcom
By C.M. APPLING
During his rise to film
fame, African-American actor
Will Smith was featured opposite several, white co-stars in
the movie genre of sci-fi/action
where he would find his niche.
In Independence Day (1996),
he played a fighter pilot helping
save the world from an alien invasion opposite Jeff Goldblum.
In the Men in Black
franchise, he again fought extraterrestrial antagonists as a special agent with actor Tommy Lee
Jones at his side. And, in Hancock (2008), he was an alcoholic
super-hero with amnesia whose
forgotten past is linked to actress
Charlize Theron.
But, in the action/
thriller "Enemy of the State
"(1998), he would appear opposite a Hollywood elder known
for impressive performances:
Gene Hackman.
Hackman first gained
mass popularity in the classic
The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
as a rebellious reverend who
leads a small group of survivors
to safety after a luxury liner is
overturned by a gigantic tidal
wave.
In Superman (1978)
and Superman II (1980), he was
the man of steel’s infamous archnemesis, Lex Luthor. And, in
Mississippi Burning (1988), he
was a southern police officer in
the 1960’s helping solve the racist murders of three, young, civil
rights activists.
The pairing of Smith
and Hackman was a successful
match as in Enemy of the State,
they delivered an exciting, kinetic-driven package that questioned an ongoing, American
debate: govermental security vs.
personal privacy and freedom.
The thriller begins
when NSA (National Security
Agency) agent Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight) meets Congressman Phil Hammersley
(Jason Robards) in the park to
discuss the passing of a new bill
to increase the government’s
power of surveillance of anyone,
anywhere, anytime.
When Hammersley
objects, declaring invasion of
privacy, Reynolds has him killed
and dumps him in his car, and
into the lake, to make it appear
as a drug-overdose accident.
Prominent, black, labor lawyer Robert Dean (Will
Smith) meets ex-girlfriend Rachel Banks (Lisa Bonet) to receive a video tape of mob boss
Paulie Pintero (Tom Sizemore)
through her secret contact Edward ‘Brill’ Lyle (Gene Hackman). When Dean confronts
Pintero with the video that implicates him in criminal activity,
Pintero threatens that if Dean
doesn’t tell him in a week who
made the video, that he’ll kill
him.
Meanwhile, a nature
photographer named Daniel
Zavitz (Jason Lee) retrieves his
park video that shows Reynolds’
murder of Hammersley. Reynolds has the NSA track Zavitz’
phone call to the press and sends
agents to intercept him and the
tape.
While Dean Christmas shops for a lingerie gift for
his wife, Carla (Regina King),
Zavitz runs into Dean (an old,
Georgetown University friend),
and slips the tape into Dean’s
gift bag.
Dean witnesses Zavitz
being chased and ultimately run
over by a fire truck, but is unaware of what he is now carrying.
At his home, Dean’s
professional, middle-class life
includes his 8-year old son, Eric,
and his ACLU (American Civil
Liberties Union) attorney wife
who is watching a Larry King
newstory about government surveillance abuse.
She takes a strong
stance against violating personal
privacy. When Dean and Carla
are out, the NSA plants ‘bugs’
and hidden cameras in their
house and in his clothes.
In an attempt to seek
more information, Reynolds’
people start to deconstruct
Dean’s life by getting him fired,
ruining his credit and separating
him from Carla (because of his
past with Rachel).
Also being pressured
by Reynolds’ manipulations, and
going against her own policy,
Rachel assists Dean by arranging a meeting with Brill.
When a NSA agent
pretends to be Brill to obtain
yet more info, the real Brill intercepts Dean. He tells Dean
to remove all his outer clothing
to get rid of hidden bugs/trac-
ers. Brill exits as quickly as he
appeared and the NSA begins a
frantic chase, after Dean, across
the city, with him in his underwear. Dean finally manages to
retrieve the mysterious tape, but
when he goes to Rachel’s place
to see her, he finds her dead with
his belongings planted to frame
him for it.
He meets with Brill
again, who takes Dean to his
secret, ‘self-contained’ headquarters. There, Dean learns that
Brill is an ex-NSA agent who
has been in ‘hiding’ for over 15
years. Viewing the tape, both see
Reynolds’ murder of Hammersley.
When the NSA tracks
them down, they escape in a car
after Brill activates a detonation
sequence to blow up his headquarters. When the tape disc is
destroyed when Brill’s car catches fire, he and Dean steal another
car to avoid capture.
Together, Dean and
Brill devise a scheme where they
make Reynolds’ agents and Pintero’s thugs believe that each has
the video tape that each wants
(not knowing that there are two,
different tapes).
In a final shootout,
both Reynolds and Pintero kill
each other, leaving the FBI to
clean up the aftermath.
Dean is reunited with
his family and his name and
reputation are cleared of any
misdoing. Brill sends one, last
video to Dean with him ‘retiring’
in some tropical paradise somewhere.
It ends with a satellite
shown hovering in space and
Larry King on another TV newscast arguing against invasion of
privacy.
In a piece of entertainment trivia, three Enemy of the
State stars began their acting
careers as sitcom offspring: (1)
Will Smith began his career as
teenage nephew ‘Will’ on The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air; (2)
Lisa Bonet began her career as
daughter ‘Denise’ on The Cosby Show,and; (3) Regina King
began her career as daughter
‘Brenda’ on 227.
Also to note, white
comic actors Jaime Kennedy,
Jack Black and Seth Green all
portrayed computer specialists
who worked for Reynolds’ corrupt, NSA unit.
Kenny Chesney Revival comes to the ‘Q’
Tuesday, March 31, 2015 - Friday, April 3, 2015
EAST SIDE DAILY NEWS
Page 8
With nearly two
dozen NFL-sized stadiums plays slated for this
summer, Kenny Chesney
took a good look at his
remaining dates and
thought about the show
he was planning for this
tour. Knowing each venue has individual needs
– and scaling down from
stadium- size, especially
the amphitheaters, can
remove some of the impact, he chose carefully.
“For all the
time we had to create for
the Big Revival Tour,”
Chesney says, “I wanted
to make sure the fans got
to experience it. I love
amphitheaters and all the
fun... But I want to give
the fans the same impact
with the show, because
The Big Revival’s set up
to be pretty special.”
After a year
off the road, Chesney is
Chesney
ready to get back to the fans, including those
in Cleveland when he
brings The Big Revival

on Thursday, July 9th!
Tickets are on
sale at theQarena.com,
888-894-9424, Quicken

Having sold in
excess of a million tickets each of his headlining tours, Chesney is the
only Country Artist in
Billboard’s Top 10 Tour
Acts of the Last 25 years
– and that’s with only 12
years as a headliner. After
his first stadium concert –
2003’s Neyland Stadium
show, selling over 60,000
tickets in Knoxville –
Chesney has played 111
football stadium shows
in total.
“It’s a different
kind of show, a different kind of energy – and

County opens new Emergency Operations Center
that environment hits every one of us onstage so
hard,” Chesney says of
the rush. “Every show
is incredible, but there’s
something about those
really big ones. I think
we were able to channel
some of that excitement
into the songs on this record – and I want to see
if we can bring that intensity to the arenas and the
few amphitheaters we’re
playing this summer.”
The Big Revival, his 13th #1 Billboard
Country Album debut, already yielded his 25th #1
with the multiple week
chart-topper “American
Kids,” also nominated
for Best Country Song at
the Grammys. “’Til It’s
Gone,” the follow-up,
is poised just outside #1
this week with a bullet.
Even the critics concur. Rolling Stone
offered The Big Revival
“continuously brings a
sense of musical energy
and emotional urgency.”
while USA Today called
it, “a coming-of-age
tale full of life-changing
memories” and The Associated Press wrote,
“avoids the cliches flowing through contemporary country songs by
injecting some real-life
gravitas.”
“This new music takes the show to
a whole other level,”
Chesney says. “I’m so
ready to get out there
with the fans...and I think
it’s gonna be a summer
you won’t forget.”

Copeland; “and for those residing in the Cleveland area, we have been hosting “meet and
greets” and planning fundraising events for classmates and trying to get as much feedback as possible on what to include in our 50-year anniversary celebration.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the planning process.
Committee members have tentatively scheduled the anniversary for the latter half of

We encourage you to email Ms. Copeland for the dates and times of committee meetings.
Looking forward to working with you!
