City condemns apartment
Cleveland’s Board of
Building Standards and Building
Appeals rejected a request on March
11 by Shakertown Apartments LTD
who was seeking more time to fix up
property, Shakertown Apartments,
2804 S. Moreland Boulevard.
According to Stephen Holowicki, community redevelopment
planner for the Buckeye Shaker
Square Development Corporation,
it is a tragedy for its remaining
residents and a small victory for the
community.
Doug Williams, one of the
residents, cursed the owners who
had left the residents without heat
during one of Cleveland’s coldest
winters on record. Williams was
able to find another apartment, but
he said most of the elderly residents
would most likely have to go to
homeless shelters.
“I&R Properties are the
worst. Never, never rent from them,”
Williams said.
According to Cuyahoga
County property and tax records
identify the people behind Shakertown as Daniel and Deborah Inks
and Gerald and Carol Reagan, with
Daniel Ink listed as the president of I
& R Properties.
James Costello, the lawyer
for Shakertown Apartments LTD
(a I&R Property) wanted to put off
repairs. His clients hoped to sell the
property to an owner who promised
to bring the buildings up to code.
During the Board of Building Standards and Building Appeals, Costello provided the board with a signed
purchase agreement which the board
rejected.
More than one property
owned by Shakertown Apartments
LTD is in distress and community
groups from Buckeye Shaker Square
Development Corporation to the
Western Reserve Land Conservancy’s
Thriving Communities Institute have
been working together to have the
buildings condemned. Another Shakertown property on Drexmore Avenue
needs to be razed or immediately repaired.
City officials did not grant
Shakertown Apartments LTD more
time, and the building was condemned.
Residents were given five days to vacate the premises before the property
will be boarded up.
Holowicki said that since the
absentee landlords had let the building
fall into decay leaving many doors unsecured and crime became rampant.
Costello didn’t dispute the
conditions of the buildings. He said the
owners just want to get rid of the buildings.
Neighborhood activists complained that the unsecured building al-
Gordon visits Obama concerning city schools
Eric Gordon, superintendant of the Cleveland Metroplitan School District, was one
of 11 U.S. superintendents and
board members who as members Council of the Great City
Schools were invited to meet
with President Barack Obama at
the White House on Monday to
discuss urban education and efforts to strengthen educational
opportunities for students in city
schools.
.
Obama welcomed the
superintenants and praised them
for their hard work.
“So I am very grateful for all the folks here for the
work they’re doing. I hope that
people get familiar with some of
Gordon
the stories of progress that have
been made. If you look at what’s
happened in the D.C. public
schools, or you look at the efforts
that are being made in places like
Gas prices drop in area
Northeast Ohio gas
prices decrease 10 cents according to AAA East Central’s Fuel
Gauge report. The national average is $2.42.After rising for 40
days in a row, the national average price for regular unleaded
gasoline has now fallen for nine
straight days to today’s average
of $2.42 per gallon. Compared
to this same date last year, consumers are saving an average of
$1.09 per gallon at the pump.
Gas prices may continue to drop in the near future
due to a steep decline in the cost
of crude oil. Crude oil prices declined by more than 10 percent
last week due to abundant supplies, a stronger U.S. dollar, and
the possibility of even more oil
entering the market soon. Every
$10 per barrel decline in the cost
of crude oil can send gas prices
down by nearly 25 cents per gallon.
The national average tends to moves higher this
time of year because refineries
conduct planned maintenance,
which can limit fuel production.
Refineries are also beginning to
transition to summer-blend fuel
in advance of the May 1 deadline.
Gas prices should remain relatively cheap because crude oil
costs are much lower than recent
years and U.S. inventories have
risen for nine straight weeks.
The possibility of geopolitical events in major production regions is likely keep
the market relatively volatile
in the near term. Speculation is
beginning about the agenda for
OPEC’s first scheduled meeting
of the year, and whether the cartel
will intervene to cut oil production in order to pressure prices
higher in the global market.
The divergence between
Brent and West Texas Intermediate, the two most cited oil benchmarks, remains approximately
$10 per barrel, just shy of February’s 14-month high of $13 per
barrel. At the close of Friday’s
formal trading on the NYMEX,
WTI fell $2.21 and settled at
$44.84 per barrel.

Fresno, which it’s a poor city in a
poor school district, but despite
that is seeing real strides; if you
look at what’s going on in Cleveland where I’ll be visiting tomorrow these are school districts that,
despite enormous challenges, have
made real progress,” Obama said.
According to Gordon, the
meeting gave him a chance to talk
about the district’s progress under
The Cleveland Plan and the importance of maintaining funding critical to further success.
Gordon has expressed
concern about a proposed cut in
funding earmarked for aiding disadvantaged students. A proposal in
Congress would take a portion of
what is known as Title I funding
from the nation’s most impoverished districts and give it to more
affluent areas.
Under the congressional proposal, CMSD could lose
$14 million of its $55 million annual share. The district spends the
money for a variety of purposes, include paying teachers’ salaries and
operating Project ACT, which aids
homeless students.
In December of 2014,
Gordon was part of a panel at a
White House summit on early
childhood education.
Obama has praised PRE4CLE, a network pairing CMSD
and private providers in an effort to
make high-quality preschool available to as many of the city’s 3- and
4-year-olds as possible.
The other superintendants
who participated in the meeting
included Oakland School District
board member Jumoke Hinton
Hodge; San Francisco School District Superintendent Richard Carranza; District of Columba Public
Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson; St. Paul Public Schools Superintendent Valeria Silva; Kansas
City (Mo.) school board member
Airick West Fresno School District

lowed drug dealers and squatters
to move in.
Holowicki photographed
the interior of the building and
forwarded the pictures to Ronald
O’Leary, director of building and
housing.
Thriving Communities
Institute, which is headed by former city councilman Jay Westbrook, sent O’Leary an email in
which he described the building’s
interior, “ (1) a ruptured water line
with a full stream of water flowing
into the basement; (2) there is live
electrical in parts of the building
with exposed and hanging wiring - water and electric together;
(3) numerous units open to entry
and filled with trash and debris;
(4) extensive vandalism - including open holes in the walls in the
hall, destruction in units; (5) there
appears to be no occupancy in the
building.
According to Holowicki, Shakertown Apartments
was a beautiful historic building,
eligible for historical registry tax
credits, and the owners allowed it
to fall into such a state of disrepair
that it may not be able to be preserved.
A neighboring apartment
owner, Paul Gabrail, had offered
to buy and preserve Shakertown
Apartments, but his offer was refused.
The board’s decision
to reject Shakertown’s appeals
means the city can prosecute the
company if it fails to act soon,
which will force Shakertown’s
owners into Cleveland Housing
Court.
A sign to vacate has been
posted, and according to the city,
the building will be boarded up by
the end of the week.
Cleveland’s Board of Building Standards and Building Appeals rejected a request on March 11 by Shakertown Apartments LTD who was seeking
more time to fix up property, Shakertown Apartments, 2804 S. Moreland Boulevard. The building was condemned, and residents have five days to move before
the building will be boarded up.
Steve Holowicki took pictures of the building’s interior to document
its condition. He found : (1) a ruptured water line with a full stream of water
flowing into the basement; (2) there is live electrical in parts of the building with
exposed and hanging wiring - water and electric together; (3) numerous units
open to entry and filled with trash and debris; (4) extensive vandalism - including open holes in the walls in the hall, destruction in units; (5) there appears to

she saw someone in a black hoodie
get out of a black car and open fire
at a red car whereupon someone in
the red car fired back at the person in
the black hoodie. When she ran from
the scene, she felt a sharp pain in her
side and realized she was injured.
Eight people were injured and two were killed in a
violent week according to police
reports.
The two homicides

dead at the scene. The second
homicide was L’Shawn Brooks,
15, who was killed in a drive-by
shootout on the corner of Lee
Road and Harvard Avenue on
Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. According to police, EMS transported
Brooks to MetroHealth Medical Center where he died a short
time later.
Six other people were
injured by gun violence according to police reports:
One man was shot inside
a Broadway Avenue Marathon gas
station early Saturday and another
man was shot while pumping gas

argument inside the station; someone inside a dark-colored car shot
three people on East 135th Street
early Saturday; a man was shot in
the leg outside of Club Tiko on
East 93rd Street after a bar fight
Saturday morning. The victim said
he couldn’t identify the shooter; a
28-year-old Warrensville Heights
man told police Saturday morning
he heard a gunshot as he walked
to his car on East 119th Street and
realized he’d been shot in the leg.
The man said he didn’t see who
shot him; and a St. Patrick’s Day
shootout injured a 17-year-old girl as
she walked behind the Glenville Recreation Center, 680 E. 113th Street,
at 5:00 p.m. According to the victim,
She ran to the recreation center
for help. EMS transported the girl
to MetroHealth Medical Center
where she was treaed and released.
Police arrested three
people, including 18 year old
twin brothers, in connection to the
shooting, and arrested a teenager
and a 30-year-old man following
separate shootings in Cleveland
and Garfield Heights on Saturday.
Anyone with information
is asked to call Cleveland police
homicide detectives at 216-6235464. According to Cleveland police, there have been 20 homicides
in the city this year.
Ohio House Bill 61, aimed
at reducing nutrient runoff in the
Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB), has
earned the support of the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation (OFBF).
As legislators looked to respond to algal blooms in Ohio’s waters, Farm Bureau worked with lawmakers to improve HB 61 and make
it more practical for farmers. Because
HB 61 meets these goals, OFBF has
designated it a “key vote” and is asking legislators to pass the measure.
HB 61 will restrict the application of nutrients on frozen, snowcovered or saturated ground in the
Western Lake Erie Basin while addressing two Farm Bureau priorities: farmers
are allowed the necessary time to come
into compliance and realistic standards
are established for how farmers can operate under certain weather conditions.
Also crucial to the bill gaining
Farm Bureau’s support was lawmakers’
assurance that resources will be provided
to help farmers comply with the bill’s
provisions.
Further, the bill meets Farm
Bureau policy that seeks comprehensive
water quality initiatives. The legislation
addresses non-agricultural concerns including publicly owned water treatment
facilities and dredging issues.
Farm Bureau believes lawmakers achieved an appropriate balance between protecting natural resources and creating workable rules
for farmers. The organization thanked
Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, the bill’s
sponsors, the committee chairman,
committee members and other lawmakers who contributed to this important legislation.
The House is expected to
vote on the measure this week. HB 61
and similar legislation from the Senate
will be considered by both chambers.

Safe drivers honored
UPS (NYSE:UPS) recently announced 75 elite drivers from Ohio are among 1,445
newly inducted worldwide into
the Circle of Honor, an honorary organization for UPS drivers
who have achieved 25 or more
years of accident-free driving.
Ohio boasts 333 active Circle of Honor drivers
with a combined 9,307 years
of accident-free driving. Terry
Leedy of Wadsworth is the
state's senior safe driver, with
44 years of accident-free driving
under his belt. There are 4,546
total UPS drivers in Ohio.
These UPS drivers
were recently inducted into
UPS’s prestigious Circle of
Honor for achieving 25 years of
accident-free driving: Thomas
Kozma of Tallmadge, Larry
Mattes of Cuyahoga Falls, and
Kimberly Dodd of Munroe
Falls.
Globally, 7,878 active UPS drivers are members
of the Circle of Honor. Collectively they've racked up more
than 221,000 years and more
than 5.3 billion safe miles during their careers. That's enough
miles to travel to Mars and back
36 times.
"My thanks go to all
of them for their dedication
and focus, and for the countless lives they've saved," said
George Brooks, president, UPS
East Region.
Globally, the most
seasoned UPS Circle of Honor
driver is Thomas Camp of Livonia, Mich., with 52 years of
driving without an accident.
Ronald McKnight of Bronx,
N.Y., is next in line with 46
years of safe driving. Sixty-two
others have logged at least 40
years without an accident.
UPS's 102,000 drivers are among the safest on the
roads, logging more than 3 billion miles a year and delivering
more than 4 billion packages
safely.
Founded in 1907,
UPS has a rich history of safety
and training. The company issued its first driver handbook
in 1917 and began recognizing
safe drivers in 1923. In 1928,
UPS recognized its first fiveyear safe driver, Ray McCue,
with UPS founder Jim Casey
presenting him a gold and platinum watch.
(NAPSI)—A few
simple steps can help you
avoid a common situation that
could put a damper on your indoor fun and good feelings.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, health problems associated
with poor indoor air quality
include eye irritation, allergies, headaches, and respiratory problems such as asthma.
These can be directly related
to the presence of mold and
dust mites in the home.
Research has found
that common household dust
mites may be a factor in as
many as 80 percent of asthmas, hay fevers and other allergic ailments. Along with
respiratory symptoms, high
levels of dust mite allergens
have also been correlated with
atopic dermatitis, characterized by itchy, irritated skin.
Dust mites are microscopic but hardy creatures
that live and multiply easily
in warm, humid places. They
thrive at temperatures at or
above 70 degrees with a relative humidity of 75 percent
to 80 percent, but, according
to the American Academy of
Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, you can reduce dust
mites if you keep your home’s
humidity below 50 percent.
Mold is a fungus
that feeds on organic substances and survives in moist
conditions.
Besides causing allergies, they produce harmful
chemicals such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and
mycotoxins. Health hazards
from mold include coughing, wheezing, running eyes
and nose, skin rashes, muscle
aches, loss of appetite, inability to concentrate, and fatigue.
While some evidence of excess moisture may
be obvious, such as condensation on windows, often-times,
they are hidden in the crawl
Prostate cancer is the
second leading cause of cancer death among men but the
2016 President’s Budget request
would eliminate prostate cancer
funding at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"After a preliminary
review of the President's Budget, we are dismayed to see that
funding for CDC prostate cancer
activities would be eliminated,"
said Brandon Leonard, director
of Strategic Initiatives at Men's
Health Network. "We continue
to advocate for greater awareness of prostate cancer, as well
as informed discussions between
patients and their healthcare providers regarding screening decisions. We believe that CDC's
work to educate both patients
and providers is valuable and
should be continued."

Prostate cancer funding eliminated
spaces and basement of the
house.
From there, this polluted air eventually moves into
the rest of the house, often
carrying odors, contributing
to poor indoor air quality and
causing uncomfortably high
humidity levels. Studies show
that as much as 50 percent of
the air in a home comes from
these below-grade areas.
One answer is effective moisture control. Dehumidifiers can reduce the risk of
serious health issues by controlling moisture levels in the
home.
Several organizations, including the Environmental Protection Agency,
American Lung Association,
and American Medical Association, recommend using
dehumidifiers to maintain humidity levels of 50 percent or
less indoors.
The high-capacity
dehumidifiers from Santa Fe
are the most energy efficient
around and de signed to effectively operate in the cooler
temperatures of a basement or
crawl space while helping to
maintain the structural integrity of the house.

Woodland Cemetery Foundation to sponsor Civil War tour
The
Woodland
Cemetery Foundation will
sponsor a Cleveland Civil
War Connection on Sunday,
April 19th from 1:00 p.m.
– 4:00 p.m. and this exciting one-of-a-kind event will
take you all around Cleveland, travelling on Lolly the
Trolley. The event starts by
boarding the Trolley at the
Westside Market’s Parking
Lot A at 12:30 p.m. at the east
end of the market (toward
downtown) and accessed
from Lorain Avenue or West
24th Street.
The tour will begin
promptly at 1:00 p.m. with a
visit to the nearby Tremont
Neighborhood, where you
will visit two sites of Camp
Cleveland, the city’s largest
of seven Civil War Union
troop training camps and the
site of the U.S. General Hos-
pital.
The
Spring-like
weather has been pleasant,
but it does come at a cost. As
the snow melts winter away,
more potholes are popping
up- some that could cause
major damage to your car.
Because it’s impossible to avoid all potholes,
and swerving around them
can lead to a crash, AAA East
Central offers advice in order to protect you, and your
car from potholes caused by
severe winter weather.
“Major
winter
storms have affected much
of the country this season,”
said Steve Popovich, managing director of automotive services. “While many
cars have made it through
the winter without a scratch,
damage still could be done
because of a pothole left in
the aftermath,” he added.
Potholes form when
moisture collects in small
holes and cracks in the road
surface. As temperatures rise
and fall, the moisture expands and contracts due to
freezing and thawing. This
breaks up the pavement and
combined with the weight of
passing cars, eventually results in a pothole.
AAA recommends
these safety tips to protect
you and your vehicle:
Inspect Tires – The
tire is the most important
cushion between a car and
a pothole. Make sure tires
have enough tread and are
properly inflated. When
checking tire pressures,
ensure they are inflated to
the manufacturer’s recommended levels, which can be
found in the owner’s manual
or on a sticker on the driver’s
door jamb
Inspect
Suspension – Make certain struts
and shock absorbers are in
good condition. Changes in
vehicle handling, excessive
vibration or uneven tire wear
can indicate bad shocks or
struts. Have the suspension
inspected by a certified technician if you are unsure
Look Ahead –
Make a point of checking the
road ahead for potholes. An
alert driver may have time to
avoid potholes, so it’s important to stay focused on the
Federal income tax
refunds totaling $1 billion may
be waiting for an estimated one
million taxpayers who did not
file a federal income tax return
for 2011, the Internal Revenue
Service recently announced.
To collect the money, these
taxpayers must file a 2011 tax
return with the IRS no later
than Wednesday, April 15.
“Time is running out
for people who didn’t file a
2011 federal income tax return
to claim their refund,” said IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen.
“People could be missing out
on a substantial refund, especially students or part-time
workers. Some people may not
have filed because they didn’t
make much money, but they
may still be entitled to a refund.”
The IRS estimates
half of the potential refunds for
2011 are more than $698.
In cases where a tax
return was not filed, the law
provides most taxpayers with
a three-year window of opportunity for claiming a refund.
For 2011 tax returns, the window closes on April 15. If no
return is filed to claim a refund
within three years, the money
becomes property of the U.S.
Treasury.
The law requires
the tax return be properly
addressed, mailed and postmarked by that date. There is
no penalty for filing a late return that qualifies for a refund.
The IRS reminds taxpayers seeking a 2011 refund
that their checks may be held if
they have not filed tax returns
for 2012 and 2013. In addition,
the refund will be applied to
any amounts still owed to the
IRS, or their state tax agency,
and may be used to offset unpaid child support or past due
federal debts, such as student
loans.
By failing to file a
tax return, people stand to lose
more than just their refund of
taxes withheld or paid during
2011. Many low-and-moderate
income workers may not have
claimed the Earned Income
Tax Credit (EITC). For 2011,
the credit is worth as much as
$5,751. The EITC helps individuals and families whose
incomes are below certain
thresholds. The thresholds for
2011 were:
$43,998 ($49,078 if
married filing jointly) for those
with three or more qualifying
children,
$40,964 ($46,044 if
married filing jointly) for people with two qualifying children,
$36,052 ($41,132 if
married filing jointly) for those
with one qualifying child, and
$13,660 ($18,740
if married filing jointly) for
people without qualifying children.

Islam In The Community
Thoughts on the Women’s Mosque of America
By FURHAN ZUBAIRI
The
Women’s
Mosque of America on Friday, January 30 offered its
first woman led Friday prayer
exclusively for women and
children in Los Angeles. This
event definitely attract a lot
of attention from within the
Muslim community and outside of it. Within the Muslim
community it has become the
topic of number of discussions and debates because
of its unprecedented nature.
Outside the Muslim community any story with the words
Islam and women automatically becomes headline fodder.
The purpose of this
article isn’t to question or
critique the sincerity, intentions and objectives behind
the all-female Friday prayer;
this is not an attack. Rather,
the purpose is to explore the
legal basis for having such
an event and to suggest other
ways of achieving the same
outcome.
Permissibility of
women Imams in womenonly congregations:
There’s a difference
of opinion amongst the four
schools of thought regarding
whether or not a woman can
be the imām of an exclusively female congregation.
According to the
Hanafis, Shafi’is and Hanbalis it’s permissible. The
Hanafis add that although it
may be permissible it’s disliked (makrūh), but the disliked nature doesn’t affect the
validity of the prayer.
They also add that
the woman leading the congregation shouldn’t stand
in front. She should stand
alongside the other women in

the middle of the row.
They base their
opinion on a few narrations
that mention that ‘Aisha and
Umm Salamah (ra) used
to lead women in prayer.
‘Abdul Razzāq ,
Al-Daraqutni , and Al-Baihaqi report from Raitah AlHanafiyyah that she said,
“’A’ishah led us and she
stood between us during the
obligatory prayer.
Al-Baihaqi reports
from ‘Ata that ’A’ishah used
to say the adhan, the iqamah
and lead women in prayer
while standing among them
in the same row.
Ibn Abi Shaybah
and ‘Abdul Razzāq report
from ‘Ammar Al-Dahni that
he stated that a woman from
his tribe Hujayrah narrated
that Umm Salamah used to
lead women in prayer while
standing in the same row. The
wording from Abdul Razzāq
is that “Umm Salamah led us
(women) in ‘Asr prayer and
stood among us.”
There are a few
other narrations that explicitly mention that ‘Aisha (ra)
and Umm Salamah (ra), the
wives of the Prophet (saw),
led women in either obligatory or voluntary prayers.
Another narration
that is used as evidence is the
hadīth of Umm Waraqah (ra)
narrated in the Sunan of Abu
Dawūd, Musnad of Imam
Ahmad, and Mustadrak AlHakim. Umm Waraqah (ra)
said that I said, “O Messenger of Allah! Grant me
permission to participate in
battle with you. I’ll nurse the
sick and perhaps Allah (swt)
will grant me martyrdom.”
He (saw) said, “Stay
in your house. For very Allah
will grant you martyrdom.”
She sought permission from
the Prophet (saw) to appoint
a muadhin for her home and
he granted her permission.”
In another version
recorded in Abu Dawūd it
mentions that the Prophet
(saw) used to visit her at her
house. He assigned a muadhin to make the adhan for her
and ordered her to lead the
people of her home.
According to the
Malikis it’s not permissible
for a woman to lead other
women in congregational
prayer, regardless of whether
it’s obligatory or voluntary.
Based on the above,
according to the majority
it’s permissible for a woman
to be the imām of an exclusively female congregation
for obligatory and voluntary
prayers. The question that
needs to be answered is does
this ruling apply to the Friday
prayer as well?
Does the permissibility apply to Friday Prayer?
The narrations that
establish the permissibility of
a woman leading other women in congregation are referring to the five daily prayers
and voluntary prayers. None
of them mention the Friday
prayer or that ‘Aisha (ra),
Umm Salamah (ra) or Umm
Waraqah used to deliver the
sermon. These narrations
don’t refer to the Friday
prayer.
As a matter of fact
there’s not a single narration
mentioning that any of the
female companions ever led
or participated in an exclusive all-female Friday congregation. Similarly, there’s
no narration mentioning that
a female companion ever delivered a Friday sermon.
This is something
that has no precedent in history or tradition.
The issue of precedence isn’t something that
should be taken lightly. It
plays a major role in formulating legal rulings.
If this was something that was considered to
be an accepted practice or
normal there would be some
evidence of it having taken
place in the first three generations of Islam.
There’s a generally
accepted principle of Islamic
jurisprudence that states that
the default ruling for acts of
worship is impermissibility.
In order for an act of worship to be permissible there
has to be some sort of textual
evidence for it in the Qur’ān,
Sunnah or even through
ijma.’
Interestingly, the
narration of Umm Waraqah is
also used by a small minority
to establish the permissibility of a woman leading men
in congregation as well. The
problem with that is first and
foremost that this narration itself is considered to be weak
by the experts of hadīth. According to the principles of
Islamic jurisprudence a weak
hadīth can’t be used as evidence for a legal ruling.
Even if it’s assumed
that the hadith is sound it still
can’t be used as evidence for
the permissibility of a woman
leading a mixed congregation. The hadith mentions
that the Prophet (saw) told
her to lead the people of her
house in prayer.
It doesn’t mention
who those people were. It
doesn’t mention if it included
males or not. There’s also another version of the narration
that specifies she was told to
lead the women of her house.
To add to that the
Friday prayer is not like
any other obligatory prayer.
That’s why it has a different
set of conditions and rulings
from sun up to sun down,
but a woman’s work is never
done.”
I could have said
that men do not lollygag
around, but just get to the
job at hand and gets it done.
I knew if I responded like this
I would really be in for “it.”
“Another thing,”
she said with a smirk, “the
reason women live an average of four years longer than
men is it takes that long to
clean up the mess men have
made after they die.”
There are arguments you cannot refute and
then there are arguments you
should not refute. I am not
sure which category this one
fell under but I knew I needed
to have a “golden” moment.
Of course, it is hard
to argue with statistics. The
cold hard facts are that women do live on an average four
years longer than men.
If the wife works
outside the home, she still
has to work inside the home.
The man, on the other hand,
works outside the home and
“lollygags” inside the home.
I’m not sure why this is but
this is a point on her side of
the chalkboard.
There was a time in
our marriage when I was out
of work and my wife was the
primary breadwinner in the
home. At that time, I took on
the duties of the house and
the care of the children. After one week of her coming
home to my home-cooked
dinners, she graciously assumed the responsibility of
cooking supper for the family each night when she got
home. It was not a matter
of convenience but rather of
survival. To say I was a bad
cook is to denigrate the word
cook.
I do not know if
this longevity is different between a single woman and a
married woman.

associated with it. All four
schools of thought agree that
the Friday prayer is not an
obligation upon women.
Since all of the
conditions won’t be met if a
women does lead an exclusively female congregation
in Friday prayers it would
count as a voluntary prayer.
They would still have to pray
Dhuhr.
Something else to
keep in mind is that the Friday prayer is a unique opportunity for the entire local
Muslim community to come
together and meet on a weekly basis. It’s an opportunity
for men, women, children
and families of the community to come to the masjid
to worship, learn and build
relationships. Organizing exclusive Friday congregations
would perhaps take away
from the spirit of the Friday
prayer.
Different means to
the same end:
The
Women’s
Mosque of America states
their objective as the following, “The Women’s Mosque
of America seeks to uplift the
Muslim community by empowering women and girls
through more direct access to
Islamic scholarship and leadership opportunities.
The
Women’s
Mosque of America will provide a safe space for women
to feel welcome, respected,
and actively engaged within
the Muslim Ummah.
It will complement
existing mosques, offering
opportunities for women to
grow, learn, and gain inspiration to spread throughout
their respective communities.”
The objectives and
goals behind the idea are
definitely noble and highly
encouraged. Sisters should
be empowered, inspired have
access to scholarship and be
in leadership positions. They
should have spaces where
they feel safe, welcomed and
respected. These same objectives can be achieved by
working with existing institutions.
Most of the major
Islamic Centers in SoCal are
very accommodating. There
are knowledgeable, powerful
and inspiring female speakers, women led programs,
gatherings and qiyāms, and
women serving on masjid
boards even as presidents.
There’s been a lot of
progress in the past several
years to empower women
and increase their involvement in local institutions. Of
course there’s a lot more to
be done.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with having a
Women’s Mosque of America.
Historically, there
have been all women’s
mosques in places such as
China as centers of learning,
spirituality, gathering and
worship. What is problematic
is doing something that has
no legal precedent.

Legal Court Interpretation
Das boot reversed by court
By JUSTICE PAUL E. PFEIFER
Throughout history
there have been many epic
tales of gallant ships on heroic voyages. This isn’t one
of them. Rather, it’s a story
about a pleasure boat and a
taxing authority.
In 2002, Cheryl and
John T. Gallenstein – Kentucky residents – purchased a
44-foot twin-engine boat that
they docked at a yacht club in
Aurora, Indiana. It was titled
in Cheryl’s name. With the assistance of a consultant, Cheryl obtained a certificate of
documentation from the U.S.
Coast Guard that lists Cincinnati as the hailing port.
The Gallensteins primarily operated in Kentucky
and Indiana waters, downriver from Cincinnati, because
the water there was cleaner
and less crowded. Between
2002 and 2005 they crossed
into Ohio waters less than 12
times.
The
Gallensteins
occasionally cruised upriver
with guests to watch Reds
or Bengals games from the
boat, and to view Cincinnati
fireworks. During those trips,
Cincinnati police boarded and
inspected their boat, reviewed
documents, and then permitted them to continue.
John asked the consultant why this was happening. “You’re just being
harassed by the Cincinnati
police,” she said. She recommended they get an Ohio
sticker.
So the Gallensteins
applied for an Ohio watercraft
registration and indicated that
the boat would be principally
used in Kentucky and Indiana waters. They received
the sticker and a three-year
registration certificate in May
2003. Afterward, they experienced no more instances of
police boarding.
But in 2005, the
Ohio Department of Taxation
audited Cheryl. She was asked
for verification that she paid
sales or use tax for the boat in
Ohio or another state. She responded that she didn’t believe
Ohio taxes were due, that the
boat had never been moored in
Ohio, and explained why they
had gotten the Ohio registration.
The tax agent informed her that docking and
storing the boat in Indiana
“would require you to have an
Indiana registration and not an
Ohio registration. You will be
required to cancel your Ohio
Watercraft Registration” and
provide proof of its cancellation. If she failed to prove
cancellation, he said, the state
would pursue the use tax due.
Cheryl tried to cancel the Ohio registration without success. She informed the
tax agent that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
staff advised her that “the only
way to cancel a registration is
not to renew the registration
upon its expiration.”
The agent replied
that Cheryl’s response didn’t
satisfy the state’s request for
proof of tax paid. Thus, in
November 2005, the tax commissioner assessed a use tax of
$12,000, a $1,800 penalty, and
$1,252.93 in interest for the
audit period May 1 to June 30,
2003. Cheryl petitioned for
reassessment and requested
remission of the penalty and
interest, asserting that any use
of the boat in Ohio constituted
“transient use” as defined by
law.
But the commissioner affirmed the tax, penalty
and interest, and determined
that Cheryl’s use of the boat
in Ohio, combined with her
declaration of Cincinnati as
the boat’s hailing port and the
boat’s Ohio registration, “created nexus between the boat
and Ohio” and that she didn’t
qualify for the transient use
exception.
Cheryl
appealed
to the Board of Tax Appeals
(“BTA”), asserting that the
commissioner erred by assessing the use tax and by not applying the transient use exception because, she claimed, she
“had no substantial nexus with
Ohio.” But the BTA affirmed
the commissioner’s decision.
After that, Cheryl
appealed to us – the Ohio Supreme Court. She argued that
her registration in Ohio wasn’t
sufficient to create a taxable
nexus and that she met all the
requirements of the transient
use exception.
The tax commissioner argued that Cheryl’s use of
the boat in Ohio waters and
the Ohio registration made
the boat subject to the use tax,
which is a tax “on the storage,
use, or other consumption in
this state of tangible personal
property ...” But there are
exceptions. The transient use
exception exempts tangible
personal property that was
“purchased outside this state
for use outside this state and
is not required to be registered
or licensed under the laws of
this state.”
The BTA ultimately
concluded that Cheryl had not
established that she wasn’t required to register her boat in
Ohio.
The law dealing with
items that require registration
also lists the exemptions from
registration. In reviewing this
law, we determined that registering a boat in Ohio is not
the same as being required
to register a boat in Ohio because the law exempts from
registration watercraft that
have been documented by the
Coast Guard as “temporarily
transitting.”
But the term “temporarily transitting” does not
appear in the Coast Guard
federal regulations. When the
Ohio legislature enacts a law,
a just and reasonable result
and a result feasible of execution is intended.
In this case, because
the term “temporarily transitting” does not appear in federal regulations governing the
Coast Guard’s documentation
of vessels, we determined that
the BTA unreasonably and
unlawfully interpreted the
law when it stated that “we
find no evidence” that the
Coast Guard has documented
the boat as “temporarily transitting.”
To require Cheryl to
show that her boat has been
documented as temporarily
transitting by the Coast Guard
when the Coast Guard doesn’t
even issue temporary transitting endorsements is unreasonable because no one could
qualify for this exemption.
Furthermore, despite her best efforts, Cheryl
wasn’t able to cancel her Ohio
registration as ordered by the
tax department. And assessment of a use tax on that basis
is also unreasonable.
From 2002 through
2004, Cheryl operated her
boat in Ohio waters fewer than
a dozen times. We concluded
that it was unreasonable to
assess more than $15,000 in
taxes and penalties on a Kentucky resident who purchased
and harbors a boat in Indiana
and who chose to register it in
Ohio to reduce the chances of
police boarding it on the few
occasions she operated it in
Ohio waters.
Because the BTA
acted unreasonably and unlawfully in affirming the tax
commissioner’s use tax, we
determined – by a four-tothree vote – to reverse its decision.

Is your teen ready for a summer job?
By JASON ALDERMAN
For many teens,
there’s nothing more exciting
than receiving the first paycheck from a summer job – a
sure-fire ticket to fun and freedom. It’s also a great opportunity for parents to encourage
proper money management.
Parents or guardians
need to do some necessary paperwork first. Working teens
will need his or her own Social Security Number (SSN)
to legally apply for a job. They
will also need a SSN to open
a bank account to deposit their
paychecks. Depending on state
law, children under 18 may
have to open bank accounts in
their custodial name with their
parents or guardians. It is also
important for parents to check
in with qualified tax or financial advisors about their teen’s
earned income, particularly if
it may affect any investments
under the child’s name.
After that, it’s about
encouraging teens to get a
jump on their job search. The
recent job market for American teens has been tough
and investigating particular
kinds of openings should start
months in advance of summer
hire.
Networking is also
important – teens can reach
out to friends, neighbors and
other trusted adults about po-
tential jobs in the community.
Also, it is never too
early for teens to learn resume
writing and job interviewing
skills. The Practical Money
Skills website’s Landing a
Job
(http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/lifeevents/work/landingjob.php) page offers useful
background to help teens get
started.
Parents can also assist by monitoring job categories their kids are interested
in, encouraging them to meet
application deadlines and being aware of federal, state and
local child labor laws (http://
www.youthrules.dol.gov/
know-the-limits/index.htm) to
steer them from unscrupulous
employers.
Technology changes
quickly, so tech-savvy teens
may be ahead of the game
when it comes to searching
for work online. Leading job
search engines are a destination for seasonal job openings, and many allow users to
customize searches for specific positions and employers.
However, teens may need to
be reminded about their social
media activity before they begin any job search – anything
a teen posts publicly on the
Internet may be seen by a potential employer.
Banking is another
major step in the life of the

working teen, though they
don’t need to wait for that first
job to get started.
Many parents open
bank accounts for their children as early as their first allowance – after all, digital
banking makes it easier to
monitor and transfer money
without a trip to the branch or
ATM. Paychecks – on paper
or via digital deposit – make
familiarity with the banking
system an even greater necessity.
Check with their
bank to see what types of accounts are offered for children
and teens – some banks offer
a wide variety of custodial accounts where parents can track
and assist their child’s spending and saving activity.
A teen’s first job is a
great opportunity to introduce
budgeting, saving and longterm investment skills. Your
child may be working over the
summer to save for a particular desired item – a cellphone
or a trip – or more extensive
goals like future college expenses.
The Practical Money Skills site offers a budgeting tutorial (http://www.
practicalmoneyskills.com/
personalfinance/savingspending/budgeting/) and budgeting calculators (http://www.
practicalmoneyskills.com/
calculators/budgetGoals.
php?calcCategory=budget)
for a range of purposes.
When the job offer
comes, there’s one more thing
parents can do. Getting hired
means a flurry of paperwork
that can be confusing; parents
can help their children review those documents before
signature. Most will apply
to tax withholding, but such
documents might also include
special workplace agreements
that might not always be clear
to young workers.
When that first paycheck arrives, consider sitting
down to inspect a teen’s first
paper or electronic pay stub.
Many people don’t understand their withholding even
as adults, so children can benefit greatly from this lesson
at the start of their working
lives.
Bottom line: A
teen’s first summer job is a
great way for parents and
children to collaborate on jobhunting and money management skills that will produce
benefits for a lifetime.

You And The Law
Collective bargaining to negotiate employment terms
Q: What is collective
bargaining?
A: Collective bargaining is the negotiation
of matters regarding employees’ wages, benefits and
other terms and conditions of
their employment. Collective
bargaining occurs between
the employer’s representatives and the union, which the
employees have selected to be
their exclusive bargaining representative.
Q: What law governs
collective bargaining?
A: Most private
employers are covered by the
National Labor Relations Act
(NLRA), which is enforced
by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Some
businesses in the railroad and
airline industries are covered
under the Railway Labor Act,
and some very small enterprises may not be covered at all.
Civil servants in the federal
government are covered by
the Civil Service Reform Act,
and state, county and municipal workers fall under state or
local laws. Postal workers are
covered under the Postal Reorganization Act, the NLRA
and the Labor Management
Relations Act.
Public employers
are also governed by the state’s collective bargaining law,
which, in Ohio, is enforced by
the State Employee Relations
Board (SERB). State collective bargaining laws limit the
right of certain workers, such
as police and firefighters, to
strike. These workers are subject to final offer arbitration,
known in Ohio as conciliation.
Q: What must be included in a collective bargaining agreement?
A: The law does not
dictate contract terms, and neither the NLRB nor SERB will
impose terms upon the parties without their agreement.
Rather, the law provides a framework so management and
labor can negotiate a contract
governing wages, hours and
working conditions. The law
limits the unilateral power of
employers, protects workers’
rights to organize and engage in “concerted activity for
mutual aid and protection”
and prohibits discrimination
against workers who exercise these rights.
Q: What does it
mean to bargain “in good faith?”
A: It means that the
parties must negotiate with
honest intentions about the
wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment and
provisions of a collective
bargaining agreement. Good
faith is mutual obligation to
meet at reasonable times and
places, and to bargain with
the intention of reaching agreement or resolving contract
questions. “Hard bargaining”
(taking a strong position on
an issue) does not violate the
law, but the following approaches constitute bad-faith
bargaining and do violate the
law:
Surface bargaining
(going through negotiation
motions without intending
to reach an agreement); a
“take-it-or-leave-it” approach; and refusing to meet,
delaying meetings or failing
to give the chief negotiator
sufficient authority to make
agreements.
If either party fails
to bargain in good faith, the
other may file an unfair labor
practice charge. Good faith is
determined based on the totality of circumstances.
Q: Must an employer bargain with the employee’s union over everything?
A: No. The law recognizes these three types of
bargaining subjects:
Mandatory subjects
involve issues of wages, hours and working conditions.
The parties have to bargain
over mandatory subjects.
Permissive subjects involve subjects other
than wages, hours and working conditions (e.g., ground
rules for negotiations, settlement of unfair labor practice
charges or pension benefits).
These may be voluntarily
discussed but cannot be bargained to impasse, and either
party may refuse to bargain
over a permissive subject. If
the parties do reach agreement on a permissive subject
and incorporate it into a collective bargaining agreement,
then they must abide by that
agreement.
Illegal subjects include any proposal that violates National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the
Public Employees Relations
Act (PERA), the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA)
and/or any other federal, state, county or municipal law.
Illegal agreements/provisions
are void and cannot be enforced.
Q: May an employer
change employment conditions during bargaining?
A: No. Employers
must maintain the “status
quo” regarding existing wages, hours and working conditions, even if a contract has
expired—unless there is an
impasse in negotiations. An
impasse means that neither
party is willing to compromise further to reach an agreement. If a legal impasse has
been reached on an issue, the
employer may then unilaterally impose on its employees its
last offer regarding that issue.
For certain public employees
(e.g., police and firefighters),
the employer must maintain
the status quo until an agreement is reached, either mutually or through conciliation.

Road trip good for Cavs with wins
By KARL BRYANT
The
Cavaliers
started their time in Texas
by giving an old-fashioned
whuppin to Dallas, but then
had to survive in overtime
against San Antonio, riding
Kyrie Irving’s 57 points to
victory. They next moved
to the Southeast, where they
beat Orlando handily, but
then headed down to South
Florida, where they came up
short vs. Miami. With a 3-1
road trip, the Cavs stayed in
2nd place in the Eastern Conference.
After the easy win in
San Antonio, the Cavs had to
fight tooth and nail, courtesy
of Irving, to tie the Spurs at
the end of regulation. Irving
hit two treys in the final 30
seconds, including one at the
buzzer to tie the game at 110all. He then scored 11 points
in OT to lead the Cavs to the
128-125 victory. Irving was
unconscious throughout – going a perfect seven for seven
from the perimeter and another perfect 10 for 10 from
the Charity Stripe. Overall,
Irving was 20 of 32 from the
field.
Irving’s 57 points
was a high for the NBA season and broke LeBron James’
team record of 56. Speaking
of James, he was no slouch
– scoring 31 points on 10
of 20 shooting. Tony Parker
also scored 31 while leading
the Spurs. After the game,
Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich
gushed about the first player
to score 50 points on one of
his San Antonio teams, “Kyrie Irving was unstoppable.
I don’t know how to guard
that.”
A couple of days
later, the Cavs manhandled
Orlando, and Irving poured
in 33 points just to show he’s
the real deal. Irving was 12 of
15 from the field, but he did
miss a three (5 of 6) and a
couple of foul shots (4 of 6).
J.R. Smith had 25 points and
James added 21 to go with
13 assists. Victor Oladipo led
the Magic with 25. The Cavs
made 59.2% of their field
goals and 51.4% of their treys
in the 123-108 win.
All good things
must come to an end, which
the Cavs road winning streak
did with a thud against James’
team the last four years, Miami. Kevin Love was missing his second straight game,
the Heat, who are fighting for
their playoff lives – tied for
the final spot, took advantage
of it inside. They outrebounded the Cavs, 45-32, and outscored them in the paint,
44-32, in their 106-92 win.
Akron’s women basketball join CSU, YSU in WNIT
By ANDREW CARTER
The
Youngstown
State and Cleveland State
Women each lost in the Horizon League Tournament
Semifinals, but secured bids
to the Women’s National
Invitational
Tournament.
Akron, which got uncharacteristically clobbered in
the quarterfinals of the MidAmerican Conference Tournament at Quicken Loans
Arena, also received a WNIT
bid.
CSU lost to Wright
State, 99-87, in the first semifinal in Green Bay. WSU was
up by 19 at the half and let
CSU get no closer than nine
points the rest of the way. Kiersten Green scored 21 points
to lead the Lady Vikings
and Alexis Eckles added 17,
while grabbing a whopping
19 rebounds. Tay’ler Mingo
scored 27 points to lead the
Raiders.
In the nightcap,
Youngstown State, which
had been annihilated in their
last regular season matchup
against Horizon League regular season champ WisconsinGreen Bay, fell behind by 16
at the break, but kept cutting
into the lead in the 2nd half.
The Penguins got to
within a possession with 3:25
Al Rosen, who
played third base for the
Cleveland Indians and who
was unanimously named the
American League’s most
valuable player in 1953, when
he came within a hit of winning the batting triple crown,
died on Friday in Rancho Mirage, California. He was 91.
Rosen led the American League in home runs
twice before he retired as a
player in 1956.
Rosen was the president of the Yankees in the
late 1970s and the president
and general manager of the
Houston Astros and the San
Francisco Giants. He helped
to build the Giants to win the
1989 pennant.
In the early and mid1950s, Rosen joined with the
lefty-swinging Luke Easter
and Larry Doby to provide
the muscle in Cleveland’s
lineup. Rosen led the league
Rosen
in home runs twice as well
as runs batted in twice. He
played in the All-Star Game
every year from 1952 to
1955.
Rosen is known for
his 1953 season, as he led the
league in home runs with 43
and runs batted in with 145
while batting .336.
In 2006, he was inducted into the Indians Hall
of Fame.
Al Rosen dies; at 91
left to play, but Green Bay
gradually increased their lead
until reaching the final 63-54
margin. Heidi Schlegel led
YSU with 19 points and Kaili
Lukan led WGB with 27.
Eventual Horizon
League Tournament Champion Green Bay (28-4) will
play undefeated Princeton
(30-0) in the 1st round of the
NCAA Tournament. CSU
(19-12) received a bid to the
WNIT and will play at Michigan (16-14). Also receiving
WNIT bids, were YSU (2110), who will host Duquesne,
and Wright State (25-8), who
will play at Toledo (18-13).
Akron (22-8), which
was throttled, 95-66, by Eastern Michigan in the MAC
tourney, received a bid to the
WNIT and will play Kansas State (18-13). Five other
MAC schools – Buffalo,
Ball State, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, and
Toledo also received WNIT
invites. MAC Tournament
Champion Ohio University
will play Arizona in a 1st
Round NCAA Tournament
game.
Dwyane Wade led Miami
with 32. Hassan Whiteside
grabbed 11 rebounds, while
scoring 16 points. Irving was
a bit off on 5 for 15 shooting,
yet scored 21 points. James
led the Cavs with 26.
The Cavs now return to Quicken Loans Arena
for a couple of home games,
before taking to the road
again. They have only five
home games in March due to
the just-completed exciting
Mid-American Conference
Tournament and the upcoming NCAA Midwest Regional
Tournament.
Kyrie Irving named ‘Player of the Week’
The NBA announced Monday that Cleveland Cavaliers
guard Kyrie Irving has been named the Eastern Conference Player of Week for games played Monday, March 9, through Sunday,
March 15. This marks the second time this season Irving has earned
Player of the Week accolades, as well as the fourth time in his career. It is also the 48th time in team history a Cavs player has won
the award. Irving led Cleveland to a perfect 3-0 record last week,
averaging a team-high 37.3 points on .633 (38-60) shooting from
the field, including .867 (13-15) from the three-point line, .885 (2326) from the foul line, 4.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.3 steals in 38.7
minutes per game. No other player in the East averaged more than
30.0 points besides Irving, who led the NBA in points per game,
total points (112) and tied for first in field goals made (38) last week.
After beating the Suns on March 7, 79-89, the Cavs continued their winning on the West Coast by beating Dallas, San Antonio

KSU, CSU continue seasons in minor tournament
By KARL BRYANT
Kent State, which
lost in the quarterfinals of the
Mid-American Conference
Tournament, and Cleveland
State, which lost in the semifinals of the Horizon League
Tournament, both accepted
bids from the CollegeInsider.
com Tournament to continue
their seasons. Akron chose
not to accept a bid.
KSU, which as
MAC East co-titlist, had a
BYE into the quarterfinals,
came into Quicken Loans
Arena and lost to Akron, 7977, in an exciting game that
went down to the final second. The two nearby rivals
had split the season series
with each winning at home.
In a nip-and-tuck
defensive battle, the Zips had
taken a two-point lead with
seconds left and Kent quickly
got the ball downcourt and
Kris Brewer started to drive
for the tying basket through
a scrum, but slipped, and as
he hit the floor, threw the ball
underhand back behind his
body to Devareaux Manley,
who shot the ball from beyond the arc. The shot went
in, but unfortunately for
KSU, came a hair after the
final horn sounded.
The
officials
watched the video-review of
the bang-bang play, which
corroborated that the basket
was late.
In the defensive
struggle, each team was held
to 34% shooting from the
field. Although Akron made
just five of 24 perimeter
shots, Kent made a paltry two
of 17, including an ohfer in
the 2nd half (0 of 9), so can
look to that as reason for the
loss.
Jimmy Hall, who
fouled out in the final seconds, led the Golden Flashes
with 14 points. Brunswick’s
Pat Forsyth led the Zips with
12 points.
Playing KSU in this
nailbiter and having played
and beaten Northern Illinois
and Western Michigan in preliminary rounds to get there,
the Zips ran out of gas in the
semifinals, and lost to MAC
East co-titlist Buffalo, 68-59.
Xavier Ford led Buffalo with
17 points and Jake Kretzer
led Akron with 12.
Buffalo went on to
beat Central Michigan, 8984, for the MAC Tournament
Championship and earn a
trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Bulls (23-9), who
are coached by Duke legend
Bobby Hurley, will face West
Virginia in the NCAA 2nd
Round in Columbus.
Central Michigan
will go to the National Invi-
tational Tournament and Kent
State (21-11) accepted a bid
from the Collegeinsider.com
Tournament to play at Middle
Tennessee.
Other MAC schools
accepting CIT bids were
Bowling Green (20-11) and
Western Michigan (21-13),
who will host Cleveland
State.
Eastern Michigan
(21-13) will play in the College Basketball Invitational.
Akron chose not to go to a
lesser post-season tourney
and finished 21-14. Under

Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
Jose Legra should be in the Hall of Fame
He was a two time
world champion and a perrenial contender for the featherweight title for more then a
decade. In a 15 year career he
amassed 150 fights. He won
134 of them. At one point in his
career he reeled off more than
50 straight wins. Are these the
credentials for a future Hall Of
fame inductee ?
Born in Cuba in
1943, Legra turned pro in
1960. Although active, most
of his early fights took place
in Cuba and Mexico. He made
his first appearance in Spain in
1963. It is there that he decided
to live and ply his trade. He
was tall, lean and very fast. He
would befuddle his opponents
with his grace and boxing
skills. He would emerge as a
serious threat for world honors.
In 1965 Legra took
a big step up meeting future
champion Howard Winstone
of Wales. The vastly talented
Winstone defeated young Jose
during ten rounds. Legra would
not lose again until 1969.
Some 50 plus bouts later. On
Legra
his march to a title fight Legra
would defeat the likes of Love
Allotey, Rafiu King, Don Johnson, Yves Desmarets (for the
EBU title) and Joe Tetteh.This
led to a 1968 title shot against
the newly crowned WBC featherweight titleholder, Howard
Winstone.
The rugged Winstone
had failed no less then three
times to dethrone the great Vincente Saldivar. All three were
great battles. Finally when
Saldivar retired Winstone was
matched with Japan’s worthy
Mitsunori Seki for the WBC
version of the vacated crown.
Winstone finally cashed in halting the game Seki in round nine.
Now it was Legra’s turn. It was
sweet revenge for Jose as he
dropped Winstone twice in the
first round and damaged Howard’s eye badly enough to force
a stoppage in round five.
Legra’s first tenure as
champion would not last long.
In 1969 after two non title victories he was outscored by Australia’s under rated Johnny Famechon. Six months later Jose
would drop a ten round fight to
the returning Vincente Saldivar.
This set up Saldivar recapturing
the crown by outpointing Famechon in a great fight. Saldivar would then be stopped by
Japan’s Kuniaki Shibata in a
major upset. In another upset
Shibata would be flattened by
Mexico’s Clemente Sanchez.
Meanwhile
Legra
won the EBU title by defeating
Jimmy Revie. Then in a shocker he was taken out in four by
Tahar Ben Hassen. Legra would
rebound with EBU defenses
against Giovanni Girgenti, Evan
Armsrtong and gallent Tommy
Glencross. Legra then suffered a
1972 upset decison loss to Jonathan Dele. He added one more
EBU defense against Daniel
Vermandere and was set to face
then WBC champion Sanchez.
The champion Sanchez lost
his title on the scales but since
Legra made weight he made the
most of his opportunity and won
the crown a second time via a
tenth round stoppage.
In 1973, Legra lost his
championship to the legendary
Eder Jofre. Later that year he
was stopped in one round by
future legend Alexis Arguello.
Legra finished his career with
a 1975 verdict over Daniel
Valdez. His record of 134-12-4
speaks for itself. He met some
of the greatest featherweights
of his era. Saldivar, Jofre, Famechon, Winstone and Arguello.
He was a major player
at 126 pounds for what seemed
like forever.
YesConsidering
some of the inductees that are
enshrined in the IBHOF. I would
vote for Legra in a heartbeat.

MENU TIPS
A juicy ham made easy
(NAPSI)—Ham is
a deliciously simple meal to
prepare. Once you place it
in the oven, there's no need
to keep checking it, leaving
you with plenty of time to
prepare the rest of the meal.
Yet, some people
worry about the ham drying out while it's cooking.
The trick to serving a moist,
tasty ham is to use an oven
bag.
An oven bag helps
to lock in moist heat and
juices while the meat cooks,
resulting in a succulent and
delicious meal without any
basting. Maybe just as important, though, the bags
help keep the roasting pan
clean, reducing the time it
takes to clean up after dinner.
You can prepare
a simple yet elegant ham
or jazz it up with a variety
of special sauces or glazes.
And, don't forget that oven
bags are great for making
a turkey breast. You can
even roast two at once in a
turkey-size oven bag. For
recipes and tips, visit www.
reynoldsovenbags.com.
Traditional Holiday
Ham
1 Reynolds® Oven
Bag, turkey size (19" x 231/2")
1 tablespoon flour
1 12- to 16-pound
fully cooked whole ham,
bone-in
Whole cloves
Preheat oven to
325°F. Shake flour in oven
bag. Place bag in roasting pan
at least 2 inches deep.
Trim skin from ham,
leaving a thin layer of fat.
Lightly score a diamond pattern in the fat; insert cloves.
Place ham in bag.
Close bag with nylon
tie; cut six 1/2-inch slits in top.
Tuck ends of bag in pan.
Bake 21/2 to 31/4
hours or until meat thermometer reads 140°F in thickest part
of ham not touching bone. Let
stand 15 minutes.
Reynolds Kitchens
Tip: If you are preparing a
smaller ham, use a large size
oven bag instead of the turkey
size.

Mills Brothers
The Mills Brothers
vocal quartet comprised three
brothers born in Piqua, Ohio;
Herbert Mills (born 1912, d.
1989), Harry Mills (born 1913,
d. 1982), and Donald Mills
(born 1915). A fourth brother,
Jone (born 1911), played guitar and sang bass in the group
until his death in 1935 when
his father, John Sr. (d. 1967)
replaced him.
The quartet sang for
vaudeville and tent shows and
gained wider exposure when
they were featured on Cincinnati radio station WLW in the
late 1920s.
By 1930, the Mills
brothers were in New York
performing and recording,
making hit singles such as
"Paper Doll" (1943), their biggest success that sold around
six million copies. The quartet
was among the earliest black
ensembles to attract a national
following.
While they began
with only guitar accompaniment, in later years their
smooth, mellow three-or fourpart harmony was backed by
big bands and orchestras.
The Mills brothers
recorded with the orchestras of
Don Redman, Duke Ellington,
and Benny Carter.
They contributed to
jazz with their occasional scat
singing during the 1940s.
Their discography
can be found in the book, The
Billboard Book of American
Singing Groups (A History
1949-1990) by Jay Warner.

She is spotted by a
janitor then flees before being

tells Sally to quit using Beauline because it’s dangerous.
The next night, Catwoman goes
to the Hedare mansion where
Laurel tells her that George is
with Drina at a fantasy-theater
production called ‘Hydropolis.’
When Catwoman confronts Hedare, he protests his innocence.
When Lone comes to arrest her,
they engage in a seductive struggle before she leaves.
After their third date,
Patience and Lone sleep together
at her apartment where he finds
one of her diamond-claws in the
carpet. He does a DNA match
between Patience and Catwoman. Back at the Hedare mansion,
Laurel murders her husband and
frames Catwoman for it. Lone
arrests Patience, questions her,
then jails her.
With Midnight’s inspiration, Patience escapes the police station, and sets out to stop
Laurel from releasing Beau-line.
Catwoman sabotages all of the
company trailers before they
leave.
Lone approaches Laurel and tricks her into accidently
confessing her spouse’s killing.
She shoots him but Catwoman
arrives to face her in a feminine
showdown between heroine and
villainess.
As they battle, Catwoman discovers that Laurel’s
skin is as hard as marble as a
result of using Beau-line for
many years. Unable to hurt or
harm her, Catwoman manages
to knock Laurel out of a window
where she drops to her death
from the skyscraper.
The next day, Lone informs the media that Catwoman
brought down the Hedare empire
to save the world.
However, Lone reads
a letter from Patience ending
their relationship so that she
may focus on Catwoman doing
what she must for society---and
herself.
Halle Berry also
starred as the weather-controlling, mutant super-hero ‘Storm’
in Marvel Comics’ X-Men franchise.
But, with Catwoman,
even though the film itself was
panned by many critics and fans
of Batman’s fame, she nonetheless became the first, black, female star of a comic-book-based
movie. And, she was the sexiest
portrayal of the character since
Eartha Kitt and Michelle Pfeiffer.

“We are using every known resource to reach every member of our class,” said Ms.
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
September 2016, although the location and exact date must still be determined.
We encourage you to email Ms. Copeland for the dates and times of committee meetings.
Looking forward to working with you!
