Aavielle Nevaeh Wakefield, 5-months-old, was shot and
killed while sitting in her car seat as
she rode in a car on East 143rd Street
north of Kinsman Road.
Ieshia Wakefield, Aavielle’s
mother, grandmother, and eight-yearold sister were also in the car, but
were not injured. Aavielle was shot
in the chest, and she was pronounced
dead at University Hospitals Case

According to police,

City officials said it will
cost Cleveland at least $45 million to
implement a plan to reform its embattled police department as part of
a recent settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice.
In a report to City Council,
finance director Sharon Dumas and
law director Barbara Langhenry presented the cost analysis and itemized
the potential cost of every provision.
According to their analysis,
Cleveland will pay $13.2 million
next year and at least $8 million
during each of the following four
years to reform the city’s police
department, which was accused
of using excessive force.
Dumas and Langhenry reported that the two most
expensive items are the monitor that will be hired to oversee
compliance and training. The
monitor will cost between $4.5
million and $12 million over
five years, while training will
cost $4.2 million over two years.
The city is also expected to spend $3.4 million on
a new records management system, a computer-aided dispatch
system and other equipment.
Dumas said that the figures presented were “extremely
rough estimates” and that the
city has reached out to private
individuals and foundations for
help in financing the bill.

House Bill to address civil forfeitures
House Bill 347 has been
introduced to deal with civil forfeitures.
Under Ohio’s civil forfeiture law, authorities can seize prop
erty – cash, cars, even homes – suspected of having ties to crime. It’s
then up to the property owner to
prove the property was not involved
with illegal activity; otherwise, law
enforcement keeps it and distributes
the proceeds among state and federal
agencies.
According to Holly Harris,
a leader of a national group called
Fix Forfeiture, because law enforcement conducts forfeitures in secret,
it’s hard to tell how often civil forfeiture is used in Ohio, but that Ohio
law enforcement has taken in rough-
Gas prices continue to drop
Northeast Ohio gas
prices have decreased by 1
cent, according to AAA East
Central’s Fuel Gauge Report.
The national average is $2.29.
National average fuel
prices stabilized Monday, following 37 days of consecutive
declining prices.
Despite this plateau,
drivers are continuing to save
20 cents, on average, monthto-month, thanks to lower
crude oil prices, declining domestic demand and the switch
to winter-blend fuels.
However, heavier refinery maintenance scheduled
for this fall, may cause prices
to remain steady and possibly
rise as maintenance occurs.
The market’s current
oversupply is expected to keep
prices relatively low even during maintenance work, and
five states (Mississippi, South
Carolina, New Jersey, Alabama and Tennessee) are averaging less than $2/gallon.
Uncertainty regarding
global oil demand continues
to impact crude prices. Both
Brent and West Texas Intermediate opened Monday’s trading
with losses.
Additional uncertainty
comes as China, which accounts for 12 percent of global
oil demand, announces plans
for a national cap-and-trade
program for carbon emissions.
Although the effects
of this on the global market are
unknown, less demand for oil
may exacerbate the market’s
current oversupply and place a
ceiling on global oil prices.
Supply and demand
are expected to heavily influence oil prices in North America, as declines of oil rig counts
are reported.
According to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration, sustained low oil prices
could indicate a reduction in
investment in exploration and
production activities.

ly $80 million during the past decade
through the federal Equitable Sharing
Program,
House Bill 347, which has 19
Republican co-sponsors would prevent
state or local authorities from divvying
up the proceeds from seized cash or
property worth less than $50,000.
The bill would also shift the
burden of proof in civil forfeiture cases from the property owner to the prosecutor’s office to show that the seizure
was legal.
John Murphy, executive director of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association, argued that the bill
would be a “miscarriage of justice”
that would hamstring police. When
police discover cash, guns, and other
items during raids, these items are a
part of illegal activity.
Without civil forfeiture, he
said, the police would either have to
return property they know was derived
from criminal activity, or it would just
sit in a property room at a police station.
Councilman Jeffrey Johnson said he hopes the costly reforms will benefit Cleveland by
reducing the city’s excessive force
lawsuits.
As a budget cutting measure, Mayor Frank Jackson has
been laying off police since he took
office in 2006 despite the police
department never recovering from
the 2004 downsizing of 252 police
officers.
In December 2009, then
Safety Director Martin Flask
signed lay-off notices for 67 police
officers.
In January 2010, Flask
said the impact that the workforce
reductions have had on their operations has not been significant.
In September of 2011,
81 police officers were laid off.
The federal government provided
Clevelanders with a $5.8 million
grant to rehire about 25 police officers. The grant was for three
years and once it runs out the officers’ salaries would be added to
the city’s payroll.
In September of 2013,
Jackson laid off 81 police officers
and 42 students at the police acad-
The COPS Hiring Program which is a program that provides funds to law enforcement
agencies for the purpose of hiring
more officers, keeping officers
from losing jobs and also giving
agencies the ability to rehire officers who were laid off awarded
Cleveland money to retain some
officers.
According to U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach, the U.S.
Department of Justice recently
awarded more than $6.8 million
to local police departments in
Northern Ohio to help them hire
additional patrolmen and school
resource officers.
Cleveland was awarded
$1.25 million for 10 new officers,
and the Cuyahoga Metropolitan
Housing Authority, $499,000 for
four new officers..
The Justice Department also awarded $500,000 to
the Northern Ohio Violent Crime
Consortium to be used for data
analysts and improved technology.
According to Daniel Ball,
spokesman for the city, there are
1,505 police officers serving more
than 390,000 residents.

Memorial to be held for Dr. Wallace
By PAT WHITE
A memorial service for Dr.
David Wallace, who died at the age
of 91, will be held today at the First
Unitarian Church of Cleveland, 21600
Shaker Blvd.
Wallace was born in Laurel,
Mississippi in 1924, and he was the
youngest of four children of Oliver and
Hattie Wallace.
As his family stuggled
through the depression, Wallace took
a job as a shoeshiner at a local newsstand at the age of 11. Being a voracious
reader, Wallace was allowed to read all
the newspapers and magazines on the
selves as long as no customers were
waiting. Wallace said it was the best
free education anyone could imagine.
Wallace served as a medic in
the Army during World War II in the
army’s all black 92nd Division, referred
to as “the Buffalo Soldiers.” He was stationed for an 18 month combat deployment in southern Italy.
Wallace
After the war, Wallace
used the G.I. bill to go to college.
He graduated from Howard University and from Medical school at
Meharry Medical College School
of Medicine. He was his class valedictorian.
Wallace did his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology
at Harlem Hospital, and accepted
a position in Cleveland in 1957 at
the now defunct Forest City Hospital. The historic hospital had been
formed by the Forest City Hospital
Association, a group of black physicians who raised support for a hospital free of color restrictions which
would offer black doctors the opportunity to participate in the total operations of a hospital in 1939.
In 1954 the association received support from the Cleveland
Hospital Fund and broke ground on
the site of old Glenville Hospital. Forest City Hospital opened in 1957.
When Wallace began his
medical practice, he made a real effort to make his fees low in order so
that quality medical care could be
available to as many people as possible. He practiced medicine until his
retirement in 1996 having cared for
Clevelanders for almost 40 years.
Wallace is survived by his
wife, Sara, and sons, David and John.
Cary
at FOX 8 in 1966 to cover the
Hough riots.
Cary continued to work
in radio and television for the
next two decades, hosting the
public affairs show ‘Rap’ and
later producing ‘Neighborhood.’
Cary worked at FOX 8
from 1966-1989 where he covered a variety of stories as a general assignment reporter.
In 2008, he was inducted into the Press Club Hall of
Fame and he was a member of
the Silver Circle.
Cary is survived by his
wife, Carolyn, and his son, Carl.

Cleveland native serves aboard USS Ronald Reagan Steps to avoid food waste and illness
By CHRISTOPHER HANSON
A 2004 Hudson
Ohio High School graduate and Cleveland, native is
serving on one of the world’s
largest warships, the U.S.
Navy aircraft carrier USS
Ronald Reagan.
Petty Officer 2nd
Class Genevieve Wanamaker
is an aviation boatswain’s
mate handler aboard the San
Diego-based ship, a Nimitzclass nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and one of only
ten operational aircraft carriers in the Navy today.
“I am a crash and
salvagefirefighterincasewe
have an accident onboard.
I’m the fire engine driver,”
Wanamaker said.
Named in honor
of former President Ronald
Reagan, the carrier is longer
than3footballfields,atnearly 1,100 feet long. The ship
is 252 feet wide and weighs
more than 100,000 tons. Two
nuclear reactors can push
the ship through the water at
nearly 35 mph.
As a sailor with numerous responsibilities, Wanamaker said she is proud to
serve her country aboard an
aircraft carrier.
“I love meeting different people from different
locations around the country.
The diversity here is amaz-
Wanamaker
ing,” said Wanamaker.
Wanamaker
also
said she is very proud of the
work she is doing as part of
USS Ronald Reagan’s nearly
3,000-member crew, helping protect America on the
world’s oceans.
Sailors’ jobs are
highly varied aboard USS
Ronald Reagan. Nearly 3,000
men and women make up the
ship’s company, which keeps
all parts of the aircraft carrier running smoothly — this
includes everything from
washing dishes and preparing
meals to handling weaponry
and maintaining the nuclear
reactors. Another 2,000 or so
form the air wing, the people

the aircraft.
“I never cease to be
impressed with the type and
quality of work that goes on
aboard the carrier each day,”

economic prosperity. When
it comes to protecting and
defending America, being
there matters. And America’s
Navy is already there.
“I enjoy the opportunities to travel and further
my education. I know I am a
much better person for joining the Navy,” said Wanamaker.
Cuyahoga County
Sheriff Cliff Pinkney and
Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga
County recently appointed retired Warrensville Heights Police Chief William (Bill) Jelenic as the New Crime Stoppers
of Cuyahoga County Coordinator.
Jelenic served as
Warrensville Heights Police
Chief for more than four years,
and has been a police officer
since 1983, before retiring as
chief in 2014.
He has served on
numerous task forces, in the

7. Don’t depend on
your nose alone to tell you
whether an item in your refrigerator is good enough to
eat. That’s where an ingenious new device can come
in.
The world’s first
handheld, Bluetooth-enabled
“electronic nose” has been
created that connects with
iOS- and Android-powered
tablets and smartphones. It
samples the air near the food
you’re concerned about and
analyzes the sample using a
different algorithm depend-
ing on whether it’s testing
beef,poultry,porkorfish.
After extensive calculations in the cloud, it returns one of three possible
results: fresh, cook well or
spoiled. Independent laboratory testing found its results
are 80 to 95 percent accurate.
This electronic nose
is so much better than your
human one because many
of the volatile organic compounds emitted by spoiling
food are odorless. As a result,
meat and fish can be unsafe
to eat but still look and smell
okay.

(NAPSI)—If your
family is like most in America, you’ve been throwing
away about $2,000 every
year.
That, according to
the USDA Economic Research Service, is the cost of
what the average family of
four throws away as spoiled
or suspect food.
In fact, over 90
percent of Americans may
be prematurely tossing food
because they misinterpret
expiration dates, according
to the study by Harvard Law
School’s Food Law and Policy Clinic. Fortunately, you
may not have to.
The problem is,
while you don’t want to
waste food—and money—
you don’t want to get sick
from eating something rotten, either.
The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year,
roughly one in six Americans
(or 48 million people) gets
sick from food-borne illnesses.
There are, however,
seven steps you can take to
protect your money and your
life:
1. Buy only from
shops that follow proper
food-handling practices.
2. Keep raw meat,
poultry and seafood separate
from other foods.
3. Don’t buy food in
cans that are bulging or dented or jars that are cracked or
have loose or bulging lids.
4. Don’t buy frozen
food if the package is open,
torn or crushed on the edges.

out here launching and recovering aircraft, running a
complex propulsion system
safely, serving as air traffic
controllers, operating sophisticated electronics, and keeping this floating city alive
and functioning. Their work
ethic, enthusiasm, and esprit
de corps are second to none.
If you pick up a newspaper
in any city and examine what
other 19- and 20-year-olds are
doing, there is no comparison
to the level of responsibility
our Sailors hold. That caliber
of Sailor is what has earned
us the title of America’s Flagship.”
USS Ronald Reagan
is also a self-sustaining, mobile airport and, like each of
the Navy’s aircraft carriers,
is designed for a 50-year service life. While underway, the
ship carries more than 70 jets,
helicopters and other aircraft,
all of which take off from and
land on the carrier’s 4.5-acre
flightdeck.

bow of the ship. After lowering a tail hook that protrudes

Foundation donates $5 million to health care
The Third Federal
Foundation, in partnership
with the Marc A. and Rhonda L. Stefanski Foundation,
will donate $5 million to
fund a center for community
health education focused on
addressing health disparities and delivering quality
healthcare and outreach to
Cleveland neighborhoods.
The Rhonda and
Marc Stefanski Center for
Community Health Education will reside within the
Health Education Campus,
a state-of-the-art facility
that will house Case Western Reserve University’s
dental, nursing and medical
programs, including Cleveland Clinic Lerner College
of Medicine. The university
also plans to add a new physician assistant program to
the campus.
The Stefanski Center will serve as a physical
home to a variety of community health, education
and outreach programs, including the Weatherhead Institute for Family Medicine
and Community Health and
other programs that advance
research and promote community education regarding
care and prevention.
The center also
will house the Urban Health
Pathway, which provides
medical students with experience in delivering clinical care in urban settings,
and better understanding of
unique medical needs and
challenges of inner-city residents that can lead to disparities in life expectancy.
A study several
years ago by Cuyahoga
County found that residents
in the Hough neighborhood
of Cleveland had a life expectancy of 64 years. In the
suburb of Lyndhurst, just
several miles away, life ex-
pectancy was 88.5 years.
“The
Stefanski
Center will focus on addressing the health disparities in neighborhoods right
here in Cleveland,” said
Marc A. Stefanski. “During Rhonda’s battle with
cancer, she was fortunate
to have access to the best
health care. My family and
I want to make sure those
in financial need here in
Cleveland have similar access to world-class care.”
The donation is the
largest ever from the Third
Federal Foundation, and
supports Stefanski’s efforts
to provide quality healthcare to Cleveland residents
in need. Stefanski’s wife
Rhonda died last November

aminers looked at every department at RTA before giving the award.”
The
examiners
wrote:
“Use this feedback
as input to your strategic
planning process. Focus on
the strengths and opportunities for improvement that
have impact on your strategic goals and objectives.
Celebrate your strengths and
build on them to achieve outstanding performance and a
competitive advantage. You
have worked hard and should
congratulate yourselves.”
“We are eager to
continue to advance our efforts by addressing the areas
for improvement highlighted
by the examiners,” Calbrese
said.
The Baldrige Program is a national publicprivate partnership dedicated
to performance excellence.
Its mission is to improve the
competitiveness and performance of U.S. organizations.
The award was established by the U.S. Congress in 1987 to raise awareness of quality management
and recognize U.S. companies that have implemented
successful quality management systems.
Awards can be given annually in six categories:
manufacturing, service, small
business, education, healthcare and nonprofit.
The award is named
after the late Secretary of
Commerce Malcolm Baldrige, a proponent of quality
management. The U.S. Commerce Department’s National
Institute of Standards and
Technology manages the
award, and ASQ administers
it.
Organizations that
apply for the Baldrige Award
are judged by an independent
board of examiners. Recipients are selected based on
achievement and improvement in seven areas, known
as the Baldrige Criteria for
Performance Excellence:
1. Leadership: How
upper management leads the
organization, and how the
organization leads within the
community.
2. Strategic planning: How the organization
establishes and plans to im-
plement strategic directions.
3. Customer and
market focus: How the organization builds and maintains
strong, lasting relationships
with customers.
4. Measurement,
analysis, and knowledge
management: How the organization uses data to support
key processes and manage
performance.
5. Human resource
focus: How the organization
empowers and involves its
workforce.
6. Process management: How the organization
designs, manages and improves key processes.
7. Business/organizational performance results:
How the organization performs in terms of customer
satisfaction, finances, human resources, supplier and
partner performance, operations, governance and social
responsibility, and how the
organization compares to its
competitors.
RTA effort wins Silver Award for excellence
In a quest for continual improvement, The
Greater Cleveland Regional
Transit Authority (RTA) recently received the Silver
Award for Commitment to
Excellence from The Partnership for Excellence, as part
of its pursuit of the Malcolm
Baldrige Award.
RTA is just one of
nine organizations in the
Ohio/Indiana/West Virginia
region to receive such acclaim this year. RTA achieved
the Silver Award level for its
commitment to excellence
upon its first application.
“RTA’s efforts for
performance excellence have
been recognized in a significant way,” said RTA CEO
and General Manager, Joe
Calabrese. RTA is on track to
become among the first transit agencies in the nation to
be a Baldrige Award winner.”
The honor is based
on a 50-page report submitted in December.
A team of seven examiners spent several days
visiting RTA facilities, and
they have sent their comments to RTA. Staff has
studied those comments and
determined which “opportunities for improvement” to
focus on and has begun to
take action.
“Every RTA employee can share in this
honor,” Calabrese said. “Ex-

Islam In The Community
Pope Francis rebuilds bridges with Muslim community
By MICHAEL KAPLAN
Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid, a longtime
Muslim interfaith activist, said he admires Pope
Francis for his eagerness
to address human rights,
environmental issues and
“the sacredness of life.” Abdur-Rashid, who leads a
largely African-American
community, noted that the
Argentinian pope has focused on issues that particularly affect the poor and
are especially relevant to
black Americans, including the elimination of capital punishment and an end
to lifelong imprisonment.
“He’s doing an excellent job
of exemplifying a prophetic
ideal of justice,” said Abdur-Rashid, who leads the
Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood in Harlem, New York.
After years of tense
relations and inflammatory rhetoric between Muslims and the Vatican that
sparked protests across
Muslim-majority countries,
Pope Francis has sought to
ease tensions, emphasized
mutual values and shared
beliefs, kissed a Quran and
pushed for dialogue with
Muslim communities since
his election.
His efforts have
mended a deep wedge be-
tween the two communities, as Muslim faith leaders
said the pope has come to
embody religious values to
which their communities
also adhere. The growing relationship between the two
faiths comes as Pope Francis
for the first time tours the
U.S. this week amid growing anti-Muslim sentiment
from Republican and conservative leaders.
“For the last thousand years it’s been a very
sour, bitter relationship,”
Sayyid Syeed, director of
the Islamic Society of North
America, said. The leader
of the Indiana-based group
was set to travel with the
A Look At My World
If only I would’ve thought of that
Dr. James L. Snyder
Everybody knows
certain situations calls for
some serious thinking. My
problem and I think I share
with other people still breathing, I do things without thinking it through.
Most people, and I
include myself in this group,
have not had a serious new
thought in years.
I do not include the
Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage in this group for she is
always thinking up something
new. At least from my perspective, it seems to be new.
Then, how do I know it is really new? I just take her word
for it, which makes for peace
in our home. Most homes are
full of pieces while our home
is full of peace.
My thinking is simply this; a peaceful home is a
home I want to live in. That
is as far as my thinking really
gets. Often she will complain
to me she has a headache. I
don’t wonder because of all
the thinking she does. If I did
half the thinking she did, my
head would be thumping for a
year.
My philosophy is,
let other people do all the
hard work of thinking up new
things to do.
I suppose it would
be good to think of something
new and create something everybody wants to buy. That is
one way to make money.
I look at some things
created in the world that have
changed the way people live
and often I say to myself, “If
only I would’ve thought of
that.” Then, thinking takes a
lot of energy and who has energy to spare these days?
When it comes to
thinking, I am three winks
short of a snooze. Why should
I think when everybody else is
thinking for me? I know there
is the attitude of self-esteem
that you should not let other
people think for you. I come
back and say, “Why not?”
What is so bad about
other people doing most of the
thinking?
In our home, for example, my wife does all the
thinking. This allows me to
indulge in the wonderful habit
of not thinking. I know I have
a brain. I know God gave me a
brain to use. I also know I do
not want to over use my brain.
I am saving some real thinking
time for when I am too old to
do anything else.
Right now, I can enjoy myself with a variety of
physical activities. Well, not
so much physical and when I
come down to it, not too much
activity either. I like to think I
am doing something along that
line.
There I go thinking again. If only I would just
leave it alone and simply enjoy
life as it comes.
Perhaps that is what
is wrong with people. They
just think too much. Something happens and it gets them
to thinking about this, which
makes them think about that,
which then causes them to
think about something else,
which then causes them to get
lost in their thinking.
What it is, people
just think too much. For most
people, they do not have much
of a base for their thinking.
A great philosopher, I
can’t think of who, once said,
“I think and therefore I am.”
If only I would’ve
thought of that. In thinking of
that, I am a little confused as to
what in the world that philosopher meant. Does he mean, if I

don’t think, therefore I am not?
Me thinketh that he
thinketh way too much. Now I
have a headache!
I would not mind if
people did some thinking if
their tongue was not attached
to that thought. Why is it everybody has to tell me what
they are thinking at the time
they are thinking it?
Invariably somebody will come up and say, “I
was just thinking…” I know I
am in for an extreme tonguewagging session and nothing I can do about it. Once
somebody gets to thinking,
it is very hard to turn off that
spigot.
If only I would’ve
thought of some way to keep
people who are thinking from
telling other people what they
are thinking I would become
a very rich person.
Then there is that
oxymoron when you meet
somebody and they begin
with, “I was just thinking
about you…” For the next 45
minutes, I will have to hear
what they had been thinking
about me.
If there is any insomnia, this will cure it once
and for all.
If only I could think
of something to say when
somebody begins talking to
me about what they are presently thinking about. My
problem is, my thinking machine is on vacation most of
the time.
Once I was sitting in
a cafeteria by myself, drinking some coffee and enjoying
the quiet when somebody approached me and said, “Hey,
what’re you thinking about?”
It is very awkward
when somebody asks me that
because I have not been thinking about anything. Is it really
important to be always thinking about something? I once
responded to someone by saying, “Oh, I’ve been thinking
about nothing.” They looked
at me rather strange trying to
think of what I have not been
thinking of at the time.
The apostle Paul
was right when he wrote,
“For if a man think himself
to be something, when he is
nothing, he deceiveth himself” (Galatians 6:3).
If I am going to
think, I want my thoughts to
honor God and not be just
about myself.

pope during his visit. “It
was a pope that declared
war against Muslims and
Jews... the Crusades. And
here you have at the beginning of a new millennium, a
pope who is promoting understanding.”
While interfaith
dialogue between Muslims
and Catholics within the
U.S. has persisted for decades, many Muslims said
Pope Benedict XVI did little to engage their community. Even after he quoted
a 14th-century Christian
emperor who described Islam as a source of violence
at a lecture in Germany in
September 2006, prompting
outrage among many Muslims worldwide, Benedict
took limited measures to
make amends.
The Vatican argued
the pope was simply citing
the statement, not endorsing it, yet when Francis was
elected to the papacy, many
Muslims were still disgruntled with the Vatican. But
after learning of his pluralist
vision and his intention to
reach out to Muslim communities, there was a sigh of
relief, Muslim leaders said.
Dozens of representatives from Muslim-American
religious
communities were invited
to attend an interfaith meeting for peace Friday at the
National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New
York during Francis’ visit,
and a number leaders from
Muslim and other religious
communities were also
expected to join the pope
throughout his U.S. tour.
Although past popes have
also held interfaith sessions
during their visits to the
U.S., Francis was expected
to lead a uniquely inclusive
service, as leaders of other
faith communities were expected to play active roles in
the ceremony.
“I can say he has
done much more than a lot
of other great leaders,” said
Tahir Kukaj, leader of the
Albanian Islamic Cultural Center in Staten Island,
New York, who was also invited to the interfaith meeting. “As a Muslim, and as an
imam, I would say he moves
from the spirit of truth. He’s
calling for peace and justice,
and he means what he says.”
The pope’s namesake, St. Francis of Assisi,
might offer a hint into his
vision. Assisi, a 13th century saint, famously crossed
enemy lines to meet with
the sultan of Egypt in order
to bring an end to the Crusades. It has widely been
considered a turning point
in Muslim-Christian relations.
While bonds have
undoubtedly
improved
since then, tensions between Christians and Muslims remain higher than
ever in parts of the world,
especially in regions of the
Middle East. As Christians
and other minorities have
been targeted in Syria and
Iraq by extremist groups
It’s refreshing to hear
an author describe himself as
‘a writer of conscience and
righteousness.’ Tim I. Gurung
has six published books to
date, two currently in the editing phase, and working on the
ninth.
His compelling stories are
thought-provoking, knowledgeable, exciting and persuasive, and draw much-needed
attention to important global
social issues. While vastly different, they share a common
goal: To make a positive impact on people.
Gurung’s life journey
is a remarkable story in itself.
Born and raised in Nepal, at
age 17 he became a Gurkha
soldier with the British Army,
stationed in Hong Kong. After
retiring from the army, he remained in Hong Kong to work
and raise a family.
While he enjoyed his
job he wanted his life to mean
more than just an income, so
Gurung made a promise to
himself that for the second
half of his life he would follow his heart. True to his word,
Gurung’s passion for writing
has resulted in several highly
successful books, and today
he is able to donate the proceeds from these books to his
family’s non-profit foundation, ISSLCARE, that makes it
possible for needy families in
Nepal to send their children to
school.
Five Steps is Gurung’s first published book. It
is about a man who loses his
family in a freak accident. As
he investigates clues found at
the scene, he gets caught up in
a whirlwind journey that takes
him across the globe ─ a journey that changes him and those
he meets in positive ways as he
learns to see life from different
viewpoints.
Missionary or Mercenary is the story of a middleaged man returning home after
years abroad helping his countrymen in need. Using profits
from his business to build a
children’s home, he unwittingly attracts unwanted attention
from a political party trying to
align itself with his noble work
─ which wreaks havoc on him,
his family, and business.
A Tree Called Tenalpa, a story of migration and
discrimination, is a profoundly
tender tale of six different
color birds that live peacefully
together in a huge tree until
their world is turned upside
by a storm. Through exquisite
storytelling, we learn how the
birds adjust to a new living arrangement and cope with their
respective problems and survive.
The Cursed Nation is
an inspiring story about overcoming obstacles on the path
to a better life. When a young
man moves to the city, he gets
a job where he’s in contact
with many powerful and influential people – like his boss,
who becomes prime minister
of the nation.
A Nation for Refugees is a satisfying and inspiring read of love, trials and triumph. After college, a young
man joins an internationallyknown company where he
works for several years, but
when problems surface in the
hierarchy he is forced to give
up the job he loves.
To make ends meet
he opens a makeshift café in
a tent outside his home, and
barely ekes out a living. All
that changes when Sarah, his
first real love, reenters his life.
As the café becomes popular,
their newfound wealth allows them to contribute vast
amounts toward helping refugees.
Gurung’s humble beginnings did not allow him the
opportunity to attend college,
but this was never an obstacle
for him.
He learned from
real-life experiences and is
living his dream today ─ a
respected author, devoted to
helping those less fortunate
through his family’s charity.

claiming to fight in the
name of Islam, the pope has
emphasized that dialogue
now is more important than
ever.
Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of
the Muslim Public Affairs
Council, an American Muslim advocacy organization
based in Los Angeles, said
dialogue initiatives between
Muslims and Catholics
were some of the first interfaith programs in the U.S.
While they have generally
persisted regardless of the
Vatican’s stance, he said the
pope’s openness has refueled efforts in recent years.
“The Vatican definitely sets the tone and
the pace, and makes it either easy or not as easy to
have programming in the
States,” he said. “I believe
Pope Francis has created
a new paradigm for Muslim-Christian relations. He’s
done a wonderful job building a bridge -- not only in
understanding but a bridge
of cooperation.”
In one of his first
papal speeches, Pope Francis announced plans to “intensify dialogue among the
various religions” and specified the significance of dialogue with Muslims. Days
later, he was photographed
washing the feet of two Muslim Serbian female inmates
at a prison in Rome. And
months later, he extended
a personal message to Muslims preparing to celebrate
Ramadan. In the past, such
greetings came indirectly
through the Vatican’s office
of interfaith dialogue.
Pakistan protest
Pope Francis is considerably
more popular among Muslim communities worldwide
than his predecessor, Pope
Benedict XVI.
In addition to the
respect he’s earned for his
stances on interfaith and
a range of social and economic issues, the pope has
been praised by many Muslims for his firm political
stances on issues related to
the Middle East -- issues
that are significant for many
Muslims.
The Vatican officially recognized Palestine
as a state in June. And in
September, Pope Francis
called on every parish to
take in a family of Syrian
refugees.
“Those are issues
that Muslims have a concern
for broadly, across the Muslim community, and again,
these are human-rights-related issues,” Abdur-Rashid
said. “Most of the Muslims
in America and in New
York are immigrants, many
of them are themselves refugees from oppressive situations... so I think those are
further pluses on the side of
the pope.”

Credibility of evidence is crucial with decision Skilled- based amusement games alllowed
By JUSTICE PAUL E. PFEIFER
When Kelly Perry severely injured both thumbs in
an industrial accident at his job
with Viking Forge Corporation
in September 2008, his subsequent workers’ compensation
claim brought his case before
the Ohio Supreme Court.
The same day that
Perry was injured, Dr. Drew R.
Engles performed surgery to
partially amputate Perry’s left
thumb and to repair his right
thumb. Following a period of
temporary total disability, Perry
returned to light-duty work, and
then to his former position with
no medical restrictions on February 4, 2009.
Dr. Engles examined
Perry on February 18, and reported, “I believe the patient is
doing well enough that he may
be discharged from active care
and no further intervention is
anticipated from my standpoint.
The patient is currently looking
into a possible prosthesis and
this can be handled through the
occupational therapist.”
But then, on March
2, 2009, Perry was terminated
from employment for violating work rules. On March 18,
he returned to Dr. Engles and
told him that he’d lost his job.
He asked to be placed on work
restrictions and to continue
therapy.
Dr. Engles reported,
“With respect to the patient’s
request to go back onto work
restrictions and for additional
therapy, I do not believe this
would be prudent. I believe that
the patient has maximized the
benefit of therapy.” Dr. Engles
referred Perry to the occupational branch of his clinic for
assistance with obtaining prosthesis and for any other ongoing
care.
On April 7, 2009,
Perry changed his physician to
Dr. Steven Rodgers – and ended
his relationship with Dr. Engles
– because surgical issues no
longer needed to be addressed.
Dr. Rodgers placed Perry on restricted duty, and Perry applied
for an additional period of temporary-total-disability (“TTD”)
compensation to begin April 7,
2009.
A staff hearing officer
with the Industrial Commission
of Ohio – which handles such
matters – awarded Perry TTD
compensation. The hearing officer relied on Perry’s testimony
that the incident for which he
was terminated wasn’t his fault,
but rather was caused by a coworker, to support the finding
that Perry had not voluntarily
abandoned his employment.
The hearing officer
also relied on Dr. Rodgers’s
medical documentation, and
Perry’s testimony, to find that
Perry remained temporarily and
totally disabled as of April 7,
2009.
Viking Forge filed
a complaint with the court of
appeals for a writ alleging that
the commission abused its discretion when it ordered TTD
compensation for the period
after Perry was discharged from
employment.
The court of appeals
concluded that Perry hadn’t
voluntarily abandoned his employment – which would make
him ineligible for TTD – and
that Dr. Rodgers’s finding of
increased pain, loss of sensation, and hypersensitivity,
coupled with his intended action for treatment, constituted
some evidence upon which the
commission could rely to award
TTD compensation. The court
denied the writ. After that, Viking filed an appeal with the
Ohio Supreme Court.
The pertinent law
provides for compensation for
TTD when an injury prevents
a claimant from performing
the duties of his position of
employment. If a claimant is
no longer employed for reasons unrelated to the injury and
hasn’t reentered the workforce,
he isn’t eligible for TTD compensation, because the injury is
no longer the cause of the loss
of wages.
The underlying principle is that the employee’s
departure from the workplace
must be causally related to the
injury for the employee to be
eligible for TTD compensation.
In a 2003 workers’
compensation case called Ohio
Treatment Alliance v. Paasewe,
we stated that the medical aspect of an application for TTD
compensation that is filed after
a claimant’s termination must
be carefully scrutinized, particularly when the claimant had
been released to work or had
actually returned to the former
position. The onset of disability
is inherently suspect when it
coincides with termination of
employment.
Viking maintained
that there were no new and
changed circumstances in Perry’s medical condition to support an award of TTD compensation after Perry’s termination.
According to Viking, after Perry was released for work without restrictions on February
4, the only circumstance that
changed was that Dr. Rodgers
reported that Perry couldn’t
work, an opinion that contradicted Dr. Engles’s opinion.
Viking argued that
upon careful scrutiny – as required by Paasewe – the evidence didn’t support the commission’s finding of temporary
total disability. In Paasewe, a
doctor – without explanation
– issued an opinion certifying
the claimant as disabled, which
repudiated the same doctor’s
earlier report in which he had
released the claimant for work.
But unlike Paasewe,
Perry’s case presented con-
flicting medical evidence. Dr.
Engles said he could no longer provide surgical services
for Perry and referred him to a
clinic for ongoing care. Perry
began treating with Dr. Rodgers, whose opinion differed
from Dr. Engles’s opinion.
The commission is
exclusively responsible for
evaluating the weight and credibility of evidence and deciding disputed issues of fact. The
commission found the medical
documentation from Dr. Rodgers to be credible evidence.
We agreed with the court of
appeals that the commission’s
evaluation passed the scrutiny
required by Paasewe.
Viking also maintained that Perry’s termination
was a voluntary departure from
the workplace. According to
Viking, Perry had received a
copy of Viking’s handbook
containing disciplinary procedures, yet had been reprimanded several times for violations
and, on February 4, 2009, was
advised that his next infraction
would lead to termination. Viking argued that based on these
factors, Perry was ineligible for
TTD compensation.
The hearing officer
relied on Perry’s testimony that
the infraction for which he was
terminated was not his fault.
The commission considered
this testimony credible and rejected Viking’s argument that
Perry had voluntarily abandoned his position.
It was within the
commission’s discretion to rely
on Perry’s testimony that he
didn’t violate a written work
rule. It is not the role of a reviewing court – such as ours –
to assess the credibility of the
evidence. So long as the commission’s order is supported by
evidence in the record, there is
no abuse of discretion.
Consequently, by a
six-to-zero vote, we affirmed
the judgment of the court of
appeals.

Building a fraud-free family
By NATHANIEL SILLIN
A generation ago,
most families didn’t think
about financial fraud. Today, it can come in many
forms – over the phone,
through the mail and increasingly, online. It’s an
equal opportunity crime
that affects consumers of all
ages.
For the 15th
straight year, the Federal
Trade Commission tapped
identity theft as the number one source of consumer
complaints in its 2014 Consumer Sentinel Network
Data Book (https://www.
ftc.gov) released in February. The agency also noted
a “large increase” in socalled “imposter” scams –
phone calls and emails from
thieves purporting to represent the government as a
way to steal data and money
from unsuspecting adults.
Young people –
particularly students – may
be the fastest-growing
group of fraud targets. Due
to their dependence and
sometimes unwitting use
of computers and mobile
devices, young people may
be the greatest potential
victims of financial fraud,
according to a 2015 study
(https://www.javelinstrat-
egy.com) by Javelin Strategy & Research. More than
64 percent of respondents
said they were not “very
concerned” about identity
fraud, but were far more
likely to find out they were
fraud victims long after the
damage occurred, such as
through a call from a debt
collector or a rejection letter
from a lender.
Most
consumers under the age of 18
shouldn’t have a credit
record at all. But as digital thieves become more
sophisticated and federal
agencies become occasionally vulnerable to hackers,
critical privacy data like
Social Security numbers –
which many parents obtain
for their children in infancy
to save or invest money or
buy insurance on their behalf – could be at risk years
before a child ever opens a
bank account or applies for
a loan.
For all of these reasons, it may be time to think
about a family fraud plan.
Here are some steps to consider.
Check the accuracy of all family credit data.
Parents should begin by
checking their own credit
reports (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.

action) to make sure creditor data and loan balances
are accurate and no inaccuracies or unfamiliar lenders
have crept into their information. Once clear, adult
children can make sure
senior relatives are taking
similar steps. As for minors,
the three major credit agencies – TransUnion, Equifax
and Experian – have their
own website guidelines for
confirming and evaluating a
minor’s credit data.
Make sure mailboxes are safe from thieves
and any document with an
account number or identifying data is destroyed before
it is placed in the trash. The
same goes for tax returns
that are no longer needed.
Learn how to protect all mobile computer
and handheld data and have
a plan in place in case any
family member loses a
smartphone, tablet or laptop/desktop computer. Tips
are available online, from
smartphone service providers and device manufacturers.
Online, by phone
and in person, be wary of
collection demands or requests for Social Security
numbers or other specific
account data unless the
identity of the caller can be
verified. Fraudulent calls
are called “vishing” scams,
similar to “phishing” scams
that involve fraudulent
emails, texts and websites
used to illegally collect
personal data.
Install all software
security updates immediately on mobile devices
and computers and ensure
passwords are unique and
frequently updated.
Sign up for fraud
alerts from banks, credit
card issuers or investment
companies to receive immediate word of unusual or
potentially illegal activity
on accounts.
Bottom line: Identity thieves and other financial fraudsters watch consumer behavior closely and
are equally adept at stealing
money and data in person,
over the phone and online.
Have a plan in place to protect the entire family.

Q: There’s a skill-based amusement parlor in my
neighborhood shopping center. Are these skill games legal?
A: Yes. Skill-based games have been legal in
Ohio for decades. Ohio’s legislature defined skill-based
amusement games in 2003
and amended the definition in
2007. Ohio requires that the
opportunity to win a prize in
amusement games must be
based on the skill of the player
and not on a chance event.
Q: What can I win if
I play these games?
A: Merchandise prizes can be awarded for successfully solving the skill
game but the prizes cannot be
cash, gift cards, or any equivalent, plays on games of
chance (such as slot machines
or craps), state lottery tickets,
bingo, instant bingo, firearms,
tobacco or alcoholic beverages. There is also a limitation
on the size and value of the
prize. The wholesale value of
merchandise prize awarded as
a result of a single play cannot exceed $10 but it is permissible to combine vouchers
awarded for successfully
solving the game to collect a
prize worth more than $10.
Examples of prizes that can be
awarded legally are gas cards,
gold coins, gold, silver (not
silver coins) and vouchers
from stores for store products.
Q: How do skill-based amusement games differ
from forms of gambling like
the Ohio Lottery games, casino games or electronic games
at racetracks?
A: Skill games are
different from legal gambling operations in Ohio
because currently no state
sponsored agency is exclusively responsible for regulating them and allotting licenses. A person must be issued
a license from the Ohio Lottery Commission to operate
lottery games such as instant
lottery or the Powerball. The
Ohio Racing Commission issues licenses to persons who
are engaged in gambling associated with horse racing.
Horse race tracks can also
operate electronic video lottery terminals as licensed by
the Ohio Lottery Commission. Bingo licenses are regulated by the Ohio Attorney
General and are granted only
to charitable organizations.
It is likely that the
Ohio Casino Commission
will soon have jurisdiction
over skill games. Assuming
the Ohio Casino Commission receives this authority, it
will issue licenses to those
who wish to operate skill games.
Q: Can I own and
operate skill games?
A: Yes. Right now,
anyone can own and operate skill-based amusement
games. Currently there are
no state limitations to the location or number of games
that an individual can own
and operate. The Ohio Casino Control Commission was
given the authority several
years ago to regulate skill games, but the Commission has
yet to exercise that authority.
Ohio House bill 491, which
granted additional regulatory
power to the Commission,
failed to pass the Ohio Senate
in 2014. The bill is expected
to be reintroduced in 2015,
so it is very possible that the
Commission will soon be licensing skill games.
Q: Can I own and
operate slot machines or video lottery terminals?
A: Currently only
the four casinos can operate slot machines because of
the voter approved change in
the Ohio Constitution. Only
Ohio’s racetracks can operate video lottery terminals as
approved by the Ohio Lottery Commission. Recently the
Ohio Lottery Commission has
introduced similar electronic
gaming devices called “Next
Generation Games” into veteran and fraternal clubs. These machines are similar to the
slot machines and video lottery terminals. Although these
are the only venues in which
slot machines or video lottery terminals can be legally
operated for profit, it is legal
to possess a slot machine at
your home if it is operated for
amusement and not for profit.

Moeller and Browns depart ways
Andy Moeller, the offensive lineman coach for
the Browns, has parted ways with the Browns in the
wake of a domestic incident at Moeller’s Berea home,
the team announced Tuesday in a joint statement with
Moeller’s agent. The incident started when a woman
called 911 after a September 5 incident at Moeller’s
home said she was his fiancee and told dispatchers that
he assaulted her. Moeller denied that he choked the
woman by putting his forearm against her neck. Charges were never filed.

Big Ben’s injury is a big loss to Steelers
By ANDREW CARTER
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 192 yards before being carted off the field with an injured knee during the Steelers 12-6 win
over St. Louis. He’ll be out an undetermined time and backup QB
Michael Vick took over as field general. Le’Veon Bell, returning
from suspension, ran for 62 yards and scored the Steelers lone TD.
A 2-point conversion pass failed and Josh Scobee kicked a couple
of FGs. Two Greg Zuerlein FGs accounted for all the Rams points.
Four days later against Baltimore, Vick threw for 124 yards and a 9
YD TD Pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey. Bell rushed for 129 yards and
an 11 YD TD. Scobee kicked two early FGs, but missed two near
game’s end to give Baltimore a shot.
Tribe’s late season run may fall short of playoffs
By KARL BRYANT
The 2015 Indians
came a long way since they
were 10 games below .500 in
early August. They seemed to
have a fire lit under them and
they finally got above the evensteven mark on September 26
(77-76) for only the second
time all year. (They were 2-1
on April 9.) However, a 3-0
Shutout at the hands of the
Royals and losing two of the
first three of a key home series
against fellow-contender Minnesota put the damper on it all.
The Tribe learned that
Rookie Phenom Francisco Lindor was the real thing. He did
not arrive until June 17 so that
this year would not count toward his arbitration year -when
he would be eligible for future
for salary arbitration. As of this
4-2 loss to the Twins, Peter, a
Tribe fan for 30 years, commented, “The Indians were
penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Lindor’s made a difference in a
lot of games. If he was on the
team since early April, with
his hitting and his defense, he
could easily have won them
three or four more games. If
they finish a couple of games
out of a playoff spot, they only
have to look in the mirror for a
reason.” He has a valid point.
The Indians did come
to see they have Cracker Jack
starting pitchers in Danny
Salazar (9.5 strikeouts per 9
innings), and Carlos Carrasco
(10.5 K/9), to join 2014 Cy
Young Award Winner Corey
Kluber (10 K/9). Trevor Bauer
(8.9 K/9) was getting close to
their level, but his pitches being just off the plate has cost
him.
Buckeyes gained 223 yards on
a defense that was designed to
stop the run.
Ezekiel Elliot ran for
124 yards, including a 6 YD
TD, on only 16 carries and
Curtis Samuel carried twice for
55 yards, including a 40 YD
TD Run in the 4th quarter that
was icing on the cake.
Cardale, who also ran
10 times for 32 yards, commented, “We’re starting to get
on the same page I think everyone felt way more comfortable
today.”
Western Michigan
QB Zach Terrell had similar completions stats – 18 of
33 – but far fewer yards – the
169 passing. Dan Braverman
was the main man who found
holes in the Buckeye secondary with 10 catches for 123
yards. RB Jamouri Bogan ran
for 95 yards on 23 carries for
the brunt of the Bronco rushing
attack. Jarvion Franklin also
gained 68 yards on 12 carries.
A dozen WMU penalties kept
putting the Broncos in the hole
and took a TD off the board.
WMU’s
Andrew
Haldeman, who was on the
Lou Groza Award watch list,
missed two FGs (one blocked,
one short and wide left) and
an extra point. That made fans
more so value OSU PK Jack
Willoughby, who hit all five
extra points and added a 30
YD FG. OSU Punter Cameron Johnston really excelled
- averaging 51.5 yards on four
kicks, consistently backing
up the Broncos when a Buckeye drive stalled. He put three
punts down inside the 20 – at
the Western 13, the 8, and the
1-yard line. J. Schroeder, who
schooled at Columbus St.
Charles Prep, punted six times
for WMU for a 43.7 yard average, keeping the ball high to
negate returns.
When
Adolphus
Washington returned an INT
20 yards for a TD to move
OSU to a 24-6 lead at the half,
it was the third straight game
that the Buckeyes scored a
defensive TD. Coach Urban
Meyer explained about his
“D” afterward, saying, “It’s
our style of defense where we
are aggressive. We challenge
throws. The expectation level
on our defense is very high.
A couple of years ago, you
would have took that and said,
‘Nice job.’ But, that’s not good
enough, right now.”
Derek Carr, a budding star, threw for 314 yards
and two TDs. Rookie WR Amari Cooper burned the Browns
secondary, including All-Pro
BD Joe Haden, for 134 yards
on eight catches. Cooper did
fumble the ball back to Cleveland with 8:34 left to play,
which led to a Browns TD,
which let them back into the
game and within seven points
of a tie.
McCown threw for
341 yards, with most of the
damage coming late in the
game, including a 28 YD TD
Pass to Gary Barnidge and a
4 YD TD Pass to Travis Benjamin. The interception that
clinched the game for Oakland
was on a ball intended for Benjamin. Not as mobile as Manziel, McCown was sacked five
times. Benjamin also muffed
a punt, which he then fell on,
but the ball was taken away by
Oakland in the ensuing scrum.
Raiders first year
Coach Jack Del Rio explained
about achieving the win in
the parity-filled NFL, saying,
“Making a play at the end.
These games in the NFL, they
come down to who makes the
play at the end. This is just the
beginning of some great things
on the road for us.”
With hapless Chicago next up on the road, he’s
probably looking at a second
straight away win.
Raiders DE Khalil
Mack, who brutalizes opposing offenses, told Minority
Publishers Assn, “This was a
great win for us. This proved
to us what we could do when
we play up to our ability. The
Browns are a good team. If we
can beat them here - and you
heard how those fans were
when the Browns were making
their comeback – we should be
able to beat most anybody.”
Browns OL Joel Bitonio said, “This is a game we
should have won. We didn’t
play that well early, but we still
could have won, or at least tied
it. We showed we can come
back, but we just came up
short. We can build on the positive things and make things
work better for us next week.”
The Browns play
there next two games on the
road, in San Diego and then
Baltimore, so things won’t get
any easier.
Lindor
writing, Lindor is batting .323,
with 12 HRs, and 51 RBI in a
little over three months in the
Big Leagues. Plus, he’s made
several spectacular plays at SS.
The Tribe is touting him for
Rookie of the Year.
While watching the
He leads the league
in walks and too many have
come around to score. The
successful mid-August return
of Josh Tomlin (8.8 K/9) from
shoulder injury has allowed the
Tribe to send Bauer to the Bullpen for some rest. Presently,
Tomlin has a fine 6-2 record,
a 3.03 ERA, and just one bad
start. Rookie Cody Anderson,
again showed star potential
with seven scoreless innings
in the Tribe’s 10-2 win in the
split of a double-header, as he
moved to 7-3 with a 3.05 ERA.

Buckeyes look better against Broncos
By KARL BRYANT
Ohio State certainly
put on a much better performance in their 38-12 win over
Western Michigan than they
did in the one against Northern
Illinois last week. Although
they bent a little more, giving
up 169 yards rushing and 169
yards passing, the Buckeye
defense still did a good job.
However, Cardale Jones, who
last week was replaced by J.T.
Barrett early in the 2nd quarter,
performed well at QB, which
made the win a lot more of a
sure thing.
Jones completed 19
of 33 passes for 288 yards,
two TDs, and an INT. Michael
Thomas scored on a 38 YD TD
Pass and Jalin Marshall scored
on a 37 YD TD Pass. The
Browns let Oakland get big win
By KARL BRYANT
The Browns were
playing against a team that
had won just twice on the road
since 2012 and had an 11-game
away losing streak. So, of
course, they fell behind, 20-3,
before mounting any sort of a
reasonable threat.
The Browns under
Josh McCown, who’d been
given the start over Johnny
Manziel, who finally won his
first game as a Brown the week
before, rallied for 17 points
while Oakland scored another
TD.
Cleveland then put
on a rare two-minute drive in
an effort to tie the game and
send it into overtime, when the
oldest man on the field, future
Hall-of-Famer Charles Woodson, snatched away an underthrown McCown pass to seal
the win for the Raiders.
The Browns, who are
last in the NFL in run defense,
gave up 139 yards to Oakland’s
Latavius Murray.
fore having a hamstring injury
in late August, when he had a
3.41 ERA. But, since returning from the injury, he’s 0-3,
including the 4-2 loss to the
Twins, with a startling 6.59
ERA. Next season, with the
proper amount of rest and rehabilitation, Kluber should be
in a lot better form.
The Bullpen is in
reasonably good shape. The
middle relievers have not
been tested that much since
Tribe starters usually have
done splendid work. Bryan
Shaw has been a great set-up
man with a 2.87 ERA. Closer
Cody Allen, who allowed some
early season cannonading, has
improved, while notching 32
saves and lowering his ERA to
3.15.
Michael
Brantley
again proved that he was the
MVP among the Indians’ position players. Jason Kipnis also
had a year that was right behind Brantley’s. If Carlos Santana and/or Yan Gomes would
have got untracked, the offense
would not have struggled as
much as it did.
The Tribe has to hope
that they can come up with
a power hitter to fill into the
clean-up spot. Unless Santana
exponentially heats up in the
last couple of games, they will
have no 20-homer player. Santana now leads them with 18
HR.
Mark Shapiro is off
to Toronto, where he will take
over the reins. Tribe GM Chris
Antonetti and any new talent
evaluators brought in will have
their jobs cut out for them to
acquire bats to improve the
Tribe’s ability to score runs

Cavs open camp
By KARL BRYANT
The Cavs opened
Training Camp 2015 amid much
hoopla as a bunch of Cavs came
back from last year, were joined
by new faces, and even an old
one. The players were uniform
in their focus of 2015-16 being
an NBA Championship Season.
A tight-lipped LeBron
James rededicated himself to
the goal of winning a title. He
said that each time he gets to
the NBA Finals and loses, that,
“It haunts me,” and said that it
hurts more and more each time.
James only broke a smile and
laughed out loud when talking about “last season’s crazy
diet,” which saw him report to
Training Camp somewhat less
bulked-up than in previous
years.
Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
James J. Woody had an up and down career
Although he ended his career losing almost
as many bouts as he won.
One time in the mid-1960’s
heavyweight James J. Woody
was considered a fine prospect.
He was a southpaw
from the Bronx who had
his first professional fight
in 1964. He reeled off ten
straight wins against better
then average competition.
He twice defeated
Lou Hicks and also the giant
James J. Beattie a couple of
times.
He also won a duet
from Everett Copeland and
outscored Tony Doyle.
He suffered his first
loss to the crafty Johnny Persol in 1966. That began years
of winning a few and losing a
few more for Woody.
At times he was
good enough to beat decent
fighters like Dante Cane,
Roger Russell and Charlie
“Emperor” Harris.
At other times he
was overmatched at that
stage in his career against
contenders Manuel Ramos,
Brian London and Big Buster
Mathis losing to all three.
On April 17, 1970,
he faced the feared Olympian
George Foreman. The undefeated future two time world
champion was impressive
bombing out Woody in the
third round.
In his next bout
Woody faced the highly regarded Oscar Bonavena and
was stopped in five rounds.
Later that year Bonavena
would meet the comebacking
Muhammad Ali in their classic encounter.
Woody
would
bounce back into the win column with a pair of decision
victories over the hexed Tony
Doyle.Those would be his
last victories.
In 1971, Woody
would prove he was no
chump as he went the distance in rugged bouts with
top contenders Jose Luis Garcia, Ken Norton and in 1972
to Henry Clark.
Although he lost all
three they were all competitive. Especially the Norton
fight.
He met Norton again
in 1972 and Kenny halted
Woody in eight rounds.
In 1973 James was

messages are autobiographical

Da 'Round Da Way Rewind Review
'Island in the Sun' teams Belafonte and Dandridge
Just
Jazz
By NANCY ANN LEE
Herbie Hancock
Pianist-composer
Herbie Hancock was born
in 1940 in Chicago. Early
music studies led him to play
Mozart's Piano Concerto in
D major with the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra by age
11. But Hancock preferred
jazz and formed a high school
ensemble.
By 1960, he was performing in Chicago jazz clubs
with Coleman Hawkins and
Donald Byrd. Hancock joined
Byrd's group and moved to
New York.
Following his first
recording session with Byrd,
he was signed by Blue Note
and made his recording debut
with Takin Off in May 1962,
gaining notice with his original tune, "Watermelon Man."
Hancock joined the
Miles Davis quintet in 1963
and remained for five years,
creating tunes that have become standards.
Leading his own
sextet from 1971-73, Hancock melded elements of jazz,
rock, with African and Indian
themes by using electronic
devices and instruments.
After his Headhunters album, Hancock produced
more commercialized music
throughout the 1970s, occasionally returned to jazz with
his V.S.O.P. band and piano
duos with Chick Corea. By the
1980s, Hancock was creating
fascinating music using complex innovative electronic
technology.
Hancock recently
released his first acoustic
recording in many years, The
New Standard, where he and
his veteran sidemen reinvent nine time-honored tunes,
sometimes backed by a studio
orchestra.
In 1949, liberal,
white, film producer Darryl
F. Zanuck released the movie
Pinky: a motion-picture about
a Caucasian-appearing, Negro
nurse who returns to her home
in the South after passing-forwhite in the North. Known as
a cinematic contributor to the
‘Negro cause’, Zanuck produced and released another,
important, interracial film that
also addressed the issues of
race, bigotry, class and equality. It was called Island in
the Sun (1957). And, its two,
black stars were the attractive,
bronze-colored duo of Harry
Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge.
Belafonte and Dandridge made their first, onscreen debut together in the
movie Bright Road (1953).
Next, the couple was cast as
the passionate and tumultuous
lovers in the classic Carmen

Jones (1954). (Her performance in Carmen Jones earned
Dandridge a Best Actress nomination which was a first for a
black woman). But, in Zanuck’s Island in the Sun, Belafonte and Dandridge would
be cast opposite white, leading
characters in a romantic drama
that caused as much racial controversy as Pinky did.
The story begins on
the fictional, West-Indian island of ‘Santa Marta’: a British crown colony in the Caribbean. The Fleury family is a
prominent, plantation-owning,
Caucasian clan who inhabits
the esteemed Belfontaine estate. Julian Fleury (Basil Sydney) is joined by his wife (Diana Wynward) and their adult,
brunette children, Maxwell
(James Mason) and Jocelyn
(Joan Collins).
Also associated with
the Fluerys is Maxwell’s redhaired wife Sylvia (Patricia
Owens) and blonde, family
friend Mavis Norman (Joan
Fontaine).
After finding strange,
Egyptian cigarettes in his home
ashtray, a suspicious Maxwell
contemplates who they might
belong to. At an evening party
at Government House, Jocelyn meets the governor’s son,
Euan (Stephen Boyd) who is
on holiday before going to Oxford. Crashing the elite gathering is black politico David
Boyeur (Harry Belafonte) with
his black friend Margot Seaton
(Dorothy Dandridge). Margot
is introduced to Denis Archer
(John Justin) who is the governor’s aide and an aspiring
novelist. At the party, Colonel
Hilary Carson (Michael Rennie) suggests that Maxwell run
against David in the upcoming,
legislative election. Maxwell
notices that Carson smokes
Egyptian cigarettes. Later,
once they have left the party, a
jealous and insecure Maxwell
forces himself on Sylvia.
Another day, Jocelyn and Euan lounge lazily
on the beach while he tells her
about being heir to a title in the
House of Lords. Meanwhile,
at a local drug store, Margot
works as a clerk and is approached by Denis to attend
the nurses’ dance reception.
She smiles warmly and agrees.
While driving, Maxwell sees Carson escorting
Sylvia and again becomes suspicious. At the dance, Margot
requests a secretarial position
from Denis so he promises to
try and find one for her. Also,
after recognizing David from
brief, childhood encounters,
Mavis complains to him about
the bleak, bourgeois emptiness
of her life. At his home, Denis
allows Margot to browse his
unfinished, novel manuscript
before confessing to love her.
She responds by embracing
him closely.
Maxwell confides to
his parents that he will run in
the island election for labor
leader against David Boyeur.
David takes Mavis on a trip to
his old village where local fishermen net giant tortoises while
singing a work chant.
While Maxwell and
Sylvia are away, Jocelyn and
Euan visit their estate during
Carnival. But, the electricity,
phones and car is sabotaged by
some of Maxwell’s enemies.
“Grudges are paid back at Carnival”, Jocelyn tells Euan.
After sleeping with
Euan, Jocelyn talks to her
parents about getting married.
Meanwhile, a news reporter
from America named Bradshaw (Hartley Power) writes
an incriminating expose about
the historical lineage of the
Fleury family.
As it is revealed, Julian’s grandmother was a Jamaican quadroon (1/4th black)
who died in childbirth. Julian,
an octoroon (1/8th black), was
raised in England, passing as
white.
Trying his best to not
be devastated by the racial revelation, Maxwell pretends to
be glad about his mixed heritage to manipulate the black
populace and his former, white
peers for the upcoming election.
Maxwell confronts a
drunken Carson, accusing him
of an affair with Sylvia. Carson rebuffs him, insulting him
with the English epithet, ‘tarbrush.’ In a blind rage, Maxwell chokes Carson to death.
After Carson’s funeral, police
chief Colonel Whittingham
(John Willams) coyly suggests
to Maxwell that he suspects he
is Carson’s killer.
Mavis takes David to
her family’s ancient, plantation
site where they grow closer
(but still do not touch). Whittingham continues to use psychological methods to make
Maxwell feel guilty about his
hidden crime.
At election night,
Maxwell is stunned when he
learns he was mistaken about
the affair between Sylvia and
Carson. At the political rally,
Maxwell is rebuffed by the
black populace after David
speaks out on his opponent’s
true, racial beliefs. So, Maxwell concedes David as better
suited for the labor leader position.
When Jocelyn informs her mother she is pregnant with Euan’s child, the
mother reveals a second, family secret: Jocelyn’s real father
was an all-white man who was
not Julian. Finally, a guilt-ridden Maxwell summons Sylvia
to contact Whittingham for his
surrender.
In the lop-sided conclusion, Denis marries Margot
while Euan marries Jocelyn.
All four board a plane to leave
for England. But, David breaks
up with Mavis, convinced that
white prejudice and his own,
black pride would make their
life too difficult to live happily
together. So, the blue-collar,
black community leader and
the privileged, white socialite
part ways for the last time.
Movie viewers are
treated hearing Belafonte’s
calypso singing of the opening credits song and during the
work chant scene.
And, Dandridge has
never looked more gorgeous
in the breathtakingly beautiful,
West-Indian atmosphere.

Boxing and baseball program to be held at League Park
A celebration of
boxing and baseball that
features vintage fight
film will take place on
Saturday, October 10 at
historic League Park at
E. 66th and Lexington
Avenue at 11:00 a.m.
The free, public
program is co-sponsored
by the Irish American
Archives Society and the
Baseball Heritage Museum.
Irish American
Archives Society has
joined forces with the
Baseball Heritage Museum, which is located
at the recently renovated
League Park, to take a
look at Cleveland’s two
world champions, who
shared the field at Cleveland’s League Park in
fall of 1921.
On September
17, 1921, boxer Johnny
Kilbane defeated hardhitting challenger Danny
Frush, successfully defending the world cham-
Kilbane
pionship featherweight
title that he had held
since 1912.
The Cleveland
Indians were also defending world champions in September 1921,
also playing at League
Park—although their
1921 title push would
fall short as they finished
second in the American
League to the New York
Yankees that year.
Rare vintage
film footage of Kilbane’s
fight has recently been
restored and will head-
line the program, “Two
World
Champions:
Boxing and Baseball at
League Park.”
Kilbane’s
great grandson, Kevin
O’Toole, will show vintage film footage and talk
about the thrilling Danny
Frush fight, while Morris
Eckhouse, administrator of the Baseball Heritage Museum, will share
highlights of the storied
history of Cleveland Indians baseball at League
Park.
Tours of League
Park will be offered before the program at 10:30
am and after the program
at 12:30 pm. A reception
after the program will
honor young people who
participated in drawing
classes conducted this
fall by portrait artist Joe

Life’s journey
is full of twists and

can sometimes keep
folks from realizing
their full potential. But
experts say it’s never
too late for a detour.
Ohioans have

Imam Shafeeq Sabir gave
the sermon to complete
the second and last part.
The members also pray for
themselves and others not
on Hajj to show our gratitude for their journey and
their continued journey as
Muslims.
Muslims all over
the world celebrate Eid-ulAdha on the same day. After
services, many communities have parties, festivals
and similar events that may
last one or two days. Most
Muslims exchange gifts although it is not required.
Eid
al-Adha,
“Festival of the Sacrifice,”
also called the Feast of
Sacrifice or Bakr-Eid, is
the second of two religious
holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year.
It honors the willingness
of Ibrahim to sacrifice his
son, as an act of submission to God’s command,
before God then intervened,
through his angel Gabriel
and informs him that his
sacrifice has already been
accepted. The meat from the
sacrificed sheep is preferred
to be divided into three
parts. The family retains
one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors;
and the remaining third is
given to the poor and needy.
In the lunar-based
Islamic calendar, Eid al-
Adha fell on the 10th day
of September this year and
lasts for four days. In the international (Gregorian) calendar, the dates vary from
year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier
each year.
Eid al-Adha is the
latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid
al-Fitr.
The basis for the
observance comes from the
196th verse of Al-Baqara, the second sura of the
Quran. The word “Eid” appears once in Al-Ma’ida, the
fifth sura of the Quran, with
the meaning “solemn festival”.
Like Eid al-Fitr,
Eid al-Adha begins with a
Sunnah prayer of two rakats
followed by a sermon (khutbah).
Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hijjaj, the pilgrims performing the Hajj,
from Mount Arafat, a hill
east of Mecca. Eid sacrifice
may take place until sunset
on the 13th day of September for this year. The days
of Eid have been singled out
in the Hadith as “days of remembrance.”
The takbir of
Tashriq are from the Fajr
prayer of the 9th of Dhu
al-Hijjah up to the Asr
prayer of the 13th of Dhu
al-Hijjah (5 days and 4
nights).
