Michael Madison charged with murder of 3 women
Terry
family had been passing out flyers and photos. She was found in a
vacant home of a basement at East
139th Street. Terry was last seen
on July 10.
In 2001, Madison, who
is a 1997 graduate of Euclid High
School, was charged and arrested
on charges of gross sexual imposition and kidnapping.
As a registered sex offender, Madison had to register
with the Cuyahoga County Sherriff in 2001 for ten years. He
served four years for this crime.
In 2002, Madison plead
guilty to an attempted rape as
a part of a plea bargain. Two
months ago, Madison was found
with marijuana and was later
charged for possession. He was
fined on this charge.
East Cleveland Police
Chief Ralph Spotts said, “This is
an ongoing investigation. We are
following up on all tips.”
Activists in Cleveland
held a search on Wednesday for
other potential victims and asked
for the help of 300 male volunteers at the corner of Shaw and
Hayden Avenues.
To report any tips on this
investigation, call 1-800-CALLFBI.
Mayor Frank G. Jackson
released the following statement
following the announcement of
Castro’s acceptance of the plea
deal:
“This plea agreement
moves this case closer to a final
resolution and allows us to continue to heal as a community. Most
importantly. this plea agreement
spares the victims of these crimes
from having to relive their ordeal,
and hopefully allows them to continue to privately heal with their
friends and loved ones. Today is
not the day to think about the actions of one man. Instead, we
should all reflect on the strength
and courage Michelle Knoght,
Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus
possess that allowed them to survive and escape.”
Jackson reiterated a request for the public to repect the
victims privacy so that that they
could continue the long process of
healing.
art galleries.
There has been opposition for the projects.
Some area reisdents argue that John Marshall is an historical landmark and should not be
demolished. Others complain that
the new construction of John Marshall will not have an indoor track
or auditorium as the old school
did.
However, City Council President Martin J. Sweeney
believes that the new school will
boost the West Side.Additional
costs have been added to Max
Hayes school that will help the existing environmental issues.
James Darr, administrator of the Bond Accountability
Commission from Issue 14 passed
in 2001, questioned why the costs
per square foot of the Arts building
was more than the others.
Eric Gordon, chief executive officer of the schools, said
that the school includes unique
functions including theaters and a
dark room for photography.

In a recent press conference given at East Cleveland’s City Hall on Monday, East
Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton
announced three women were
recently found dead near Hayden
and Shaw Avenues in East Cleveland.
“Our prayers go out
to the families, as we are in the
midst of tragedy,” Norton said.
“The suspect has no regard for
human life.”
The accused suspect is
Michael Madison, 35, who was
picked up on Friday after finding
the body of a woman.
After a two hour stand
off, Madison was arrested on Friday night at his mother’s home.
Based on a tip, police found one
other woman on Saturday.
All three of the women
were found wrapped in plastic.
The cause of death has not yet
been determined.
Police discovered one
of the women on Friday in an
East Cleveland garage. The second body was found in a heavily
weeded area about 150 feet from
the garage. The third body, was
found on Tuesday. All of the victims were found near Shaw and
Hayden Avenues in East Cleveland.
A neighborhood canvas
was conducted by the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation, and
the FBI along with other community volunteers last weekend,
which resulted in the bodies being found.
Madison
Madison has been
charged with three counts of aggravated murder and three counts
of kidnapping.
He is being held on a $6
million bond, $1 million per count.
He was transferred to Cuyahoga
County Pleas Court and the case
will be heard by a grand jury.
Madison could be sent to prison
Ariel Castro,53, pleaded
guilty yesterday to charges that he
abducted and raped three Cleveland women who this April escaped from his home after more
than ten years in captivity.
He accepted a plea deal
that will put him in prison for a
life sentence without parole, plus a
minimum of 1,000 years.
Castro said that he understood that he would spend the
rest of his life in prison and that he
felt he was “going to get the book”
thrown at him for his crime. He
has been attributed to production concerns, most notably due
to operational issues at Irving’s
Saint John Refinery in Canada,
which have been a catalyst for
sharply higher pump prices in
recent weeks. While not yet confirmed, market analysts believe
that the Irving refinery is unlikely to return to full production
until after the conclusion of the
summer driving season in early
September, which would be expected to keep upward pressure
on prices.
As noted, higher crude
oil prices have meant a rising
tide for gasoline prices across the
country. Entering July, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil
had not settled above the $100
per barrel threshold for more
than a year.
That streak ended on
July 3 and WTI has settled above
$100 each trading day since,
including a 16-month high of
$108.05 per barrel last Friday.
Continued unrest in Egypt has
contributed to higher crude oil
prices globally. At the close of
formal trading Monday on the
NYMEX, WTI settled at $106.91
per barrel.

Gasoline prices in area drop
Northeast Ohio gas
prices are down almost 6 cents
this week to $3.60 per gallon.
Today’s national average price for regular unleaded
gasoline is $3.67 per gallon. This
price is 3 cents more than a week
ago, nine cents more than one
month ago and 20 cents more
than the same day last year.
A decline of one onehundredth of a penny on Saturday ended a streak of 12 straight
overnight increases, during
which time the national average
had spiked 20 cents — the largest such increase since February.
While the national price
at the pump has now technically
fallen for 4 straight days, it has
dropped just fractions of a penny
and likely represents a temporary
respite rather than the start of a
return to lower prices.
Prices in the Northeast
and Mid-Atlantic were relatively
stable this spring; however retail
prices in 10 states in these two regions (Del., Conn., Maine, N.J.,
N.H., Md., Mass., R.I., Penn. and
N.Y.) have jumped by at least 20
cents in the last 14 days.

Castro
said that he understood that he would
never get out of prison.
Castro’s attorney Craig
Weintraub, believed that Prosecutor
Timothy J. McGinty wanted to seek
a deal that would keep the accused
in prison with no opportunity for parole.
The recent hearing between
McGinty and Weintraub mainly dealt
with the exchange of documents.
According to McGinty,
more than 4,000 documents were
given to Weintraub, although Weintraub complained to Judge Michael
Russo that the documents had not
been turned over as quickly as they
could have been.
Castro had a total of
977-count indictments against
him and he had pleaded not
guilty to the charges.
The murder charges
originated from Castro raping,
beating and then torturing one of
the three victims, which resulted
in her miscarriage.
A statement from the
victims, Amanda Berry, Gina
DeJesus , and Michelle Knight,
said that they were glad the legal
issues had come to a conclusion
and so that they could focus with
getting on with their lives.
Berry, who fathered a
child as a result of being raped by
Castro, is raising her daughter. The
court has denied Castro’s request to
have contact with the child.
Judge Russo will sentence
Castro on Thursday, August 1.
Jones Day law firm which
is managing the Cleveland Courage Fund for the women released
the following statement on their
behalf:
“Amanda, Gina, and Michelle are relieved by today’s ples.
They are satisfied by this resolution to the case, and are looking
forward to having these legal proceedings draw to a final close in the
near future. They continue to desire
their privacy. They do not wish to
speak to the media or anyone else,
and they thank people for continuing to repect their privacy as they
grow stronger. They are immensely
grateful for the support they have
received from family, friends, and
the donations to the Cleveland
Courage Fund.”
The Cleveland Municipal School District recently held its
ground breaking for John Marshall
High School, 952 W. 140th St., which
is one of three schools with plans
for reconstruction. The other two
are Max S. Hayes Vocational High
School, and the Cleveland School of
the Arts.
The costs for the schools are
budgeted at $120 million.
School officials believe the
work on the schools will be completed in time for the 2015-2016 school
year.
The district has built
other high schools in the past,
but never three at one time.
Agreements and contracts have been signed by the
district that identify parameters
regarding staying within budget. The at-risk contracts signed
by the district give the manager
more control over the project,
specifically the construction.
Agreements approved
by the board will grant $42
million to Higley Bowen Construction Partners to build the
new School of the Arts and Max
Hayes at an estimated $42.5 million. However, after negotiations,
the cost of the Arts school will cost
$36.5 million. John Marshall will
be built by ICON LLC at a cost of
around $41.7 million.
Contracted costs, design,
and site preparation are not included in the costs.
Fund raising is another
aspect, as The Friends of the Arts
school seeks to raise $22 million
in donations. The money will be
used for a performance center and
Ronald Ellis, 21, of Cleveland was recently arraigned on multiple charges after being found guilty
of kidnapping and attempted murder
charges.
On June 17, Ellis plead not
guilty to assaulting Richard and Margaret Kovachik and was placed in jail
with bail set at $500,000.
Richard Kovachik, 82, of
Cleveland called police after two or
three men had barged into his
home, kidnapping his wife a
police report stated.
After being struck with
a gun, Richard Kovachik along
with his wife were bound with
duct tape.
The intruders dumped
the contents of Margaret’s Kovachik’s purse on a bed and demanded money, then kidnapped
her by putting her into the trunk
of her 2008 Chevrolet Malibu.
Police took Richard Kovachik to Fairview Hospital for
treatment. After police searched
the area for the couple’s stolen car,
it turned up with Maragaret Kovachik in the trunk on the 8200 block
of Cedar Avenue.
Margaret Kovachik was
taken to the Fairview Hospital for
treatment.

Sich named Consumer Affairs director Getting health care if you're uninsured
Cuyahoga County
Executive Ed FitzGerald recently named Cynthia Sich
to the Cuyahoga County
Department of Consumer
Affairs. Sich is the county’s
first director of Consumer
Affairs which is made up of
two divisions, Weights and
Measures and Consumer
Protection. Sich has 24 years
of experience in consumer
protection education and enforcement, plus 3 1/2 years
in overseeing weights and
measures.
“The consumer affairs experience that Cynthia brings to Cuyahoga
County will ensure that our
citizens and business owners stay informed and protected. As the new director
of Consumer Affairs, Cynthia will play a vital role in
our overall mission to create a responsive government
that is committed to ensuring the safety of the public.
We are confident that with
Cynthia’s ability to create,
develop, and implement
programs, we will be able to
get that accomplished,” said
Cuyahoga County Executive
Ed FitzGerald.
Created by ordinance in December of 2012,
the Cuyahoga County Department of Consumer Affairs is
responsible for promoting
consumer and financial literacy; investigating alleged violations relating to weights and
measures; educating consumers and businesses; mediating
disputes between consumers and businesses; and collaborating with businesses,
non-profit organizations, and
government agencies on programs relating to consumer
affairs.
In July 2005, Sich
returned home to Northeast
Ohio and was appointed the
first director to launch the
office of Consumer Affairs
for Summit County, Ohio
charged with creating, developing, implementing and
managing all program goals,
objectives, policies and procedures for the consumer af-
fairs office where none existed.
Under her leadership the office reached out
and educated thousands of
consumers, mediated complaints, issued licenses, offered foreclosure intervention, taught financial literacy,
investigated and fined businesses for violations of county consumer codes.
Prior to that role,
Sich served as Consumer
Protection Regional Manager in Green Bay for the
Wisconsin Department of
Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection where she
oversaw both consumer protection and weights and measures programs and for 12
years, worked for the Arizona
Attorney General’s Office
Consumer Protection Section
as a legal assistant/investigator. Cynthia has served as
past president for the North
American Consumer Protection Investigators (NACPI)
and former board member
with the National Association
of Consumer Agency Administrators (NACAA).
“I am very excited
to bring my knowledge and
skills to Cuyahoga County.
With scams and identity
theft continuously changing and evolving, it is my
goal for the department to
educate and protect residents of Cuyahoga County
and its visitors by working
with local leaders, community/consumer organizations,
other county/city offices,
businesses, and many others,” said Sich, Director of
Cuyahoga County Consumer Affairs. “Starting next
month, the Department will
be launching information on
the county’s web page that
will provide consumers and
businesses alike with vital
tips and resources.”
Sich holds a graduate certificate in gerontology
and bachelors of arts from
the University of Arizona
and associate of applied science in legal studies from
Pima Community College.

“On behalf of the

you,” said Commissioner
Richard Silvia. “I cannot
recall a volunteer effort as
well planned & executed.”
The Community
Day served as the official
kick-off for SVR, a consortium whose mission is
to holistically revitalize the
Slavic Village community.
By working with the city and
county, the local community,
and area financial institutions, SVR hopes to rehabilitate a meaningful number
of homes in a focused area.
SVR will provide
quality, affordable housing
in one of the most historic
and vital neighborhoods in
Cleveland. The first of its
kind, this strategic collaboration of for-profit and nonprofit groups is a diverse
alliance between Forest
City Enterprises, RIK Enterprises, Slavic Village Development, and Neighborhood
Progress, Inc., each having decades of experience
in their respective fields.
SVR aims to steady market volatility, stabilize the
larger community and match
home-buyers with a stressfree home at a good price.
SVR received a
tremendous amount of support from Safeguard Properties, Forest City, and SecureView to make the day
a success. Safeguard Properties donated 3 lawnmowers, many tools and gloves,

The estimate by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention that uninsured Americans increased
by 2.9 million in one year has
once again put a spotlight on
patients struggling to obtain
the health care and medications they need.
The CDC report
found 46.3 million Americans without health care insurance last year. Another
report, by the Gallup polling
organization, shows that in
15 states, at least one out of
five residents was uninsured
through the middle of the
year.
“These are people
from all over the country who
may not have a health care
provider and they may well
be having difficulties obtaining medicines for everything
from cancer to heart disease to diabetes,” said Chris
Badgley, executive director
of the Partnership for Pre-
scription Assistance (PPA).
According
to
Badgley, help is available
from the PPA, sponsored by
the Pharmaceutical Research
and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and America’s
pharmaceutical research and
biotechnology companies.
The PPA is a single point
of access to more than 475
assistance programs that
provide free or nearly free
medicines to uninsured and
financially struggling patients. Nearly 200 of the
programs are sponsored by
pharmaceutical companies.
Badgley noted that
so far, “well over” 6.5 million Americans have been
directed to patient assistance
programs that provide free
or heavily discounted medicines. “It’s easy to find out if
you qualify,” he said. “It only
takes about 15 minutes. You
can call a toll-free number
or use the PPA website. Op-
erators at the toll-free number
call centers speak 150 languages, including Spanish.”
The PPA also has
information on more than
10,000 free health care clinics
around the country and has
helped hundreds of thousands
find health care providers in
their communities. The special needs of children are covered by more than 40 of the
assistance programs, which
focus on medications and
care for pediatric patients.
To contact the PPA,
visit www.pparx.org or call

difficulty getting the medication they need for anything
from cancer to heart disease

While there, City is
distracted by a strange novel
written by an unknown author,
titled
“Long Division,” that he had
been given right before the contest. He’s unsettled to
discover that the narrator—a boy
living in Melahatchie in 1985—
is also named City
Coldson. This second City, along
with his friend Shalaya Crump,
discovers a hole
through time that leads him to a
meeting with-Baize Shephard.
Together, City, Shalaya,
and Baize must face down the
horrors of Mississippi’s violent
past and are ultimately
confronted with an unimaginable choice.
While dipping in and
out of the mysterious “Long
Division,” City is alternatively
praised, ridiculed, and abused by
the white and black residents of
Melahatchie, who all have their
own views about City’s outburst
and his new celebrity. After City
tells his
grandmother about a violent
confrontation with a white man,
he later finds the man
chained up in the dank work
shed behind his grandmother’s
house. City’s two stories
eventually converge in this work
shed, where he finally finds the
truth about Baize
Shephard’s disappearance.

Islam In The Community
Concept of worship in Islam
Editor's Note: This
article is in two parts. This
is part one.
The concept of worship in Islam is misunderstood
by many people including
some Muslims.
Worship is commonly
taken to mean performing
ritualistic acts such as prayers,
fasting, charity, etc.
This limited understanding of worship is only one
part of the meaning of worship
in Islam.
That is why the traditional definition of worship
in islam is a comprehensive
definition that includes almost
everything in any individual's
activities.
The definition goes
something like this:
"Worship is an all
inclusive term for all that God
loves of external and internal
sayings and actions of a person."
In other words, worship is everything one says or
does for the pleasure of Allah.
This, of course, includes rituals as well as beliefs,
social activities, and personal
contributions to the welfare of
one's fellow human-beings.
Islam looks at the
individual as a whole. He is
required to submit himself
completely to Allah, as the
Quran instructed the Prophet
Muhammad to do:
"Say (O Muhammad)
my prayer, my sacrifice, my
life and my death belong to
Allah; He has no partner and I
am ordered to be among those
who submit, it.e.; Muslims."
(6:162-163)
The natural result of
this submission is that all one's
activities should conform to the
instructions of the one to whom
the person is submitting.
Islam, being a way of
life, requires that its followers
model their life according to
its teachings in every aspect,
religious or other wise.
This might sound
strange to some people who
A Look At My World
The age long query: who am I?
By JAMES L. SNYDER
Last week I was
tootling along without a care
in the world. Actually, I did
have several cares but I was
ignoring them as much as
possible. My basic philosophy is this, the more you ignore something the less you
have to deal with it. This,
however, does not apply to
the Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage.
Experience
has
taught me one lesson concerning women, especially
wives. They will not stand
to be ignored, particularly by
their husbands. I have learned
the less attention I pay to my
wife the more I pay in other
areas of life, if you know
what I mean.
So, ignoring the
cares I had last week, I was
caught off guard when I received a letter from my credit
card company. This was no
friendly, “how are you,” kind
of a letter. Nor was it a cheery
birthday greeting. I cannot
tell you how many times I
have reminded them of my
birthday but to date they have
not picked up on my hint.
The ominous letter I
did receive informed me that
along with millions of other
customers my identity had
been stolen. The letter went
on to assure me I had nothing
to worry about and they had
the situation well in hand.
That is easy for
them to say. They know who
they are but what about me?
When I got the letter I ran
to my bathroom and looking
into my mirror -- nothing!
My identity was indeed gone.
I assure you I will
worry until I get to the bottom of this. I will not rest
until I know exactly who I
am and my identity is fully
restored. Of course, there is
one problem here. What if
when I do recover my identity I don’t like myself? Can I
exchange it or get my money
back?
For some reason the
personal information of millions of people had been lost
or stolen from the security
of my credit card company,
which begs the question, how
secured is my personal information?
While I am in the
begging mood, another question comes to mind. If someone has stolen my identity,
who in the world am I? And,
how do I reclaim my identity?
As a young person
whenever my mother was upset with me about something
I had done or did not do, she
would always look at me and
ask, “Who do you think you
are?”
If anybody in the
world should know who I
am it would be my mother.
And if she he was wrestling
with the same question I was
wrestling with, how in the
world could I ever come to
grips with my personal identity?
It is hard enough
discovering who you are
without somebody casting
dispersions upon that very
thing. Perhaps my mother
and I could work together
in solving this problem. After all, two heads are better
than one, unless one does not
know who he is.
I have spent years
trying to find myself. Once I
thought I found myself but it
turned out to be an old pair of
socks I lost three years prior.
My problem is compounded by this one thing,

I did not really know who I
was before my identity was
stolen. I had my suspicions,
of course. However, somewhere in the back of my
mind, I really could not come
to grips with who I really was
in this world.
In the course of
time, (actually it was a fourcourse lunch) I have come to
several conclusions.
First, I am a man.
What kind of a man, is anyone’s guess this point. The
truth is that at the root of everything I am, I am a man.
Second, I am a husband. This, of course, is the
most baffling of my identity.
What it means to be a husband differs from wife to
wife. Fortunately, for me, I
have only one wife, but even
her idea of a husband changes from one moment to the
next. I am never sure what
she expects of me as a husband. Once I thought I had it
all figured out but someone,
I am not mentioning any
names, changed the rules.
Third, I am a father.
As a father, my role consists
of bankrolling the childhood
adventures of my children;
financing their higher education career, hoping they get
married before my money
runs out. To this day, I am not
sure if I made it or not.
Fourth, I am a
grandfather. This is the most
well defined role I have.
The great thing about being
a grandfather is, nobody expects much from us.
Our role is covertly
to help our grandchildren
make the lives of their parents as tempestuous as possible. Revenge is sweet when
laced with jellybeans. Sugar
highs are a grandfather’s best
retaliation.
The most important
thing about my identity quest
is, I am a Christian. This undergirds everything else I
may or may not be.
My Christianity is
the foundation upon which
everything else is built. I take
comfort in the Bible; “These
things have I written unto
you that believe on the name
of the Son of God; that ye
may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son
of God.” (1 John 5:13 KJV).
When my identity is
rooted in believing in Jesus
Christ, everything else in my
life falls into place.

think of religion as a personal
relation between the individual
and God, having no impact on
one's activities outside rituals.
As a matter of fact
Islam does not think much of
mere rituals when they are performed mechanically and have
no influence on one's inner life.
The Quran addresses
the believers and their neighbors from among the People
of the Book who were arguing
with them about the change of
the direction of Qibla in the
following verse:
"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces
toward the East or the West, but
righteous is he who believes in
Allah and the Last Day and the
Angels and the Book and the
Prophets, and gives his beloved
money to his relatives and the
orphans and the needy and for
the ransoming of captives and
who observes prayer and pays
the poor-due; and those who
fulfill their promises when they
have made one, and the patient
in poverty and affliction and
the steadfast in time of war;
it is those who have proved
truthful and it is those who are
the God-fearing." (2:177)
The deeds in the
above verse are the deeds of
righteousness and they are only
a part of worship.
The Prophet told us
about faith, which is the basis
of worship, that it "is made up
of sixty and some branches; the
highest of which is the belief in
the Oneness of Allah, i.e., there
is no God but Allah and the
lowest in the scale of worship
is removing obstacles and dirt
from people's way."
Decent work is considered in Islam a type of worship.
The Prophet said:
"Whoever finds himself at the
nightfall tired of his work, God
will forgive his sins."
Seeking knowledge
is one of the highest types of
worship.
The Prophet told
his companions that "seeking
knowledge is a (religious) duty
on every Muslim."
In another saying he
said: "Seeking knowledge for
one hour is better than praying for seventy years." Social
courtesy and cooperation are
part of worship when done for
the sake of Allah as the Prophet
told us:
"Receiving your
friend with a smile is a type
of charity, helping a person
to load his animal is a charity
and putting some water in your
neighbor's bucket is a charity."
It is worth noting that
even performing one's duties is
considered a sort of worship.
The Prophet told us
that whatever one spends for
his family is a type of charity;
he will be rewarded for it if
the acquires it through legal
means.
Kindness to members
of one's family is an act of worship as when one puts a piece
of food in his spouse's mouth.
Not only this but
even the acts we enjoy doing
very much, when they are
performed according to the
instructions of the Prophet, are
considered as acts of worship.
The Prophet told
his companions that they will
be rewarded even for having
sexual intercourse with their
wives.
The companions were
astonished and asked: "How
are we going to be rewarded

Efforts raise autism awareness
Autism is one of the
fastest-growing developmental disorders in the U.S., and
it knows no racial, ethnic or
social boundaries. However,
statistics reveal that the age
of diagnosis among African
Americans is higher than that
of the general public.
Latreese Jones, board
member, Autism Society of
Ohio, said many families suffer in silence, because of misunderstandings and stigmas associated with mental disorders.
A lot of the information available about autism
does not typically depict minorities, she said.As the number of children diagnosed with
autism continues to rise, many
parents are entering an unfamiliar world. A new training
series is helping Ohio parents
learn more about how they can
seek the best treatment, therapies and strategies to help their
children.
According to Donna
Owens, program director of
the Family and Adult Service
Center at the Ohio Center for
Autism and Low Incidence,
the way autism presents itself
in each child can be widely
varied, which can make it difficult for parents to know the
best route to take
“If you’ve seen one
child with autism, you’ve seen
one child with autism,” Owens
said.
As the Ohio General
Assembly reviews the state’s
five year-old energy efficiency
standard, there are concerns that
clean energy could be under attack. Since the state standard
was enacted, more than 1,000
renewable-energy projects have
been built in Ohio, including the
Blue Creek Wind power Project
in Van Wert. Paul Copleman. A
spokesman for Iberdrola Renewables said the company chose to
do business in Ohio for the legislative and regulatory support
it received. It’s had a significant
economic impact statewide, he
said.
Clean energy ‘under attack’
for doing something we enjoy
very much?"
The Prophet asked
them: "Suppose you satisfy
your desires illegally; don't you
think that you will be punished
for that?" They replied, "Yes."
"So," he said, "by satisfying it
legally with your wives you are
rewarded for it."
This means they are
acts of worship.
Thus Islam does not
consider sex a dirty thing that
one should avoid. It is dirty
and sinful only when it is satisfied outside marital life.
It is clear, from the
previous discussion that the
concept of worship in Islam is
a comprehensive concept that
includes all the positive activities of the individual.
This of course is in
agreement with the all inclusive nature of Islam as a way
of life.
It regulates human
life on all levels: individual,
social, economic, political and
spiritual.
That is why Islam
provides guidance to the smallest details of one's life on all
these levels.
Thus following these
details is following Islamic
instructions in that specific
area. It is a very encouraging
element when one realizes that
all his activities are considered
by God as acts of worship.
This should lead the
individual to seek Allah's pleasure in his actions and always
try to do them in the best possible manner whether he is
watched by his superiors or he
is alone.
There is always the
permanent supervisor, who
knows everything, namely,
Allah.
Discussing the nonritual worship in Islam first
does not mean undervaluing
the importance of the ritual
ones.
Actually ritual worship, if performed in true spirit,
elevates man morally and spiritually and enables him to carry
on his activities in all walks of
life according to the Guidance
of God.
Among ritual worships, Salah (ritual prayer)
occupies the key position for
two reasons. Firstly, it is the
distinctive mark of a believer.
Secondly, it prevents
an individual from all sorts
of abominations and vices by
providing him chances of direct
communion with his Creator
five times a day, wherein he
renews his covenant with God
and seeks His guidance again
and again:
"You alone we worship and to You alone we turn
to for help. Guide us to the
straight path." (1:5,6)
Actually Salah is the
first practical manifestation of
Faith and also the foremost of
the basic conditions for the
succes of the believers:
"Successful indeed
are the believers who are humble in their prayers." (23:1-2)
The same fact has
been emphasized by the Prophet (PBUH) in a different way.
He says: "Those who offer
their Salah with great care and
punctuality, will find it a light,
a proof of their Faith and cause
of their salvation on the Day of
Judgment."
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful

The warrant, issued United States Supreme Court
the next day, authorized the ruled that if a search-warrant
seizure of computers, cam- affidavit contains a false
statement with “reckless disregard for the truth,” and if
the false statement is necessary to the finding of probable cause, then evidence
discovered during the search
must be suppressed. In a 1992
decision, our court said that
“reckless disregard” means
that the person filing the affidavit had “serious doubts of
an allegation’s truth.”
In Dibble’s case,
the focus of the trial court
and court of appeals was on
Wuertz’s use of the word
“victim” to describe E.K.
Wuertz considered her to be
a victim because Dibble’s relationship with her involved a
pattern of grooming and manipulation that began when
she was a minor and Dibble’s
student.
The trial court concluded that Wuertz’s use of
the term “victim” amounted
to knowingly and intentionally including false information in order to establish
probable cause to search Dibble’s home. The court of appeals held that competent and
credible evidence supported
that finding.
By a six-to-one vote, our
court disagreed. According
to the majority, it was “difficult to understand how the
courts could have deemed the
affidavit misleading, since
it stated clearly that Victim
#2 had graduated before the
‘inappropriate’ touching began.” The majority concluded that the trial court used
too narrow a definition of
“victim” by viewing the term
to encompass only victims of
crime. It found this “hypertechnical analysis inappropriate.”
The majority noted
that the United States Supreme Court has explained
that search-warrant affidavits are usually drafted by
nonlawyers and should be
reviewed with that in mind.
The majority said the validity
of a search-warrant affidavit
shouldn’t turn on the identifier that an officer selects when
trying to protect a person’s
identity. Having concluded
that the trial court abused
its discretion in suppressing
the evidence discovered at
Dibble’s house, the majority
reversed the judgment of the
court of appeals and sent the
case back to the trial court for
a new suppression hearing.
I cast the dissenting
vote because I would have
affirmed the judgment of the
court of appeals, although I
wouldn’t adopt its reasoning.
Whether Wuertz knowingly
made false statements in his
affidavit is ultimately irrelevant. That’s because any
information about Dibble’s
relationship with E.K – a
consenting adult – describes
no crime, and thus provides
no basis for a search.
There’s no allegation in the affidavit that any
illegal activity regarding
“Victim #1” took place in
Dibble’s home. At the suppression hearing, Wuertz was
asked about the importance
of information about E.K. to
the probable-cause determination: “And only the information from E.K. would be
the probable cause basis to
be able to search the home of
Mr. Dibble, correct? At that
point in time - that’s correct,
is it not?”
Wuertz responded:
“At that point in time.”
The detective, the
trial court, and the court of
appeals agreed that without
the information regarding
E.K., there was no probable cause to search Dibble’s
house. Since there was no
basis for including information about E.K. in the supporting affidavit, we need
not expend further judicial
resources to determine that
there was no basis for the
search in this case.

Understanding your 401(k) fees
By Jason Alderman
If you’re like many
Americans – 71 percent, according to an AARP survey
– you might be under the impression that your 401(k) plan
administrator doesn’t charge
you anything to maintain your
account. You’d be wrong.
In fact, these companies typically charge fees
equivalent to 0.5 to 2 percent
of your account balance each
year – sometimes as high as
5 percent. In addition to ongoing tariffs for managing
your investment options, plan
administrators often deduct
numerous other fees from
individuals’ accounts, including charges for administrative
costs, sales commissions, advertising, insurance, and trading expenses.
Perhaps equally disturbing is that many employers – which have a fiduciary
responsibility to ensure the
retirement plans they sponsor have reasonable fees and
expenses – often don’t know
what fees their employees are
being charged either. Over
time, out-of-control fees can
take a serious toll. The Department of Labor estimates
that paying just 1 percent in
extraneous fees each year
could reduce your account
balance by 28 percent during
an average working career.
Finding – let alone
understanding – such fee disclosures can be time-consuming and often involves wading
through complex plan documents.
That’s why last year,
the Labor Department issued
regulations requiring fund administrators to provide a more
transparent breakdown of
their fees to employers, which
in turn must pass the information along to employees.
During the first disclosure phase, investment
companies were required
to send a detailed statement
about their plan’s investment options, including fund
performance and fees. You
should have received this information from your employer by August 31, 2012.
This
statement,
which will hereafter be sent
annually, should include: An
explanation of any fees and
expenses for general plan
administration, such as legal,
accounting and recordkeeping
services.
Total annual operating expenses expressed as

a percentage of account assets and a dollar amount per
$1,000 invested.
An explanation of
fees and expenses incurred
based on your actions (e.g.,
trading fees, loans, service
charges for low balances,
hardship withdrawals, processing divorce decrees or
qualified domestic relations
orders, etc.) The historical
performance of each fund in
which you invest (at 1, 5 and
10 years, and since the fund’s
inception.)
Benchmark performance – for example, if you
invest in an S&P index fund,
it should be compared to the
average expense ratios for the
S&P 500 over the same periods.
The second phase
of fund disclosure was the
release of quarterly performance statements tied to
your particular investment
accounts. The first of these
statements was for July 1
– September 30, 2012, and
most people should have received theirs by mid-November. It should include specific
dollar amounts of plan-relat-
ed expenses or fees charged
to or deducted from your
accounts that quarter, along
with a detailed description of
the related services.
For many, these
statements are a wake-up call
for why they need to choose
investment options more
carefully.
They won’t do all
the work: You’ll still need
to crunch the numbers on
how your current investment choices stack up against
other funds. And no piece of
paper can determine your appetite for risk vs. reward. But
they’re a start.
The DOL hopes that
by shining daylight on 401(k)
plan costs, employers will
be motivated to rein in costs
and seek better investment
options for employees – and
that employees will be more
inclined to seek out the most
cost-effective funds for their
retirement savings.

Q: Why do we have
workers’ compensation?
A: Early in the 20th
century, our increasingly industrialized state recognized
that the common law system
for compensating victims of
work-related injuries did not
suit the needs of a modern
society. A new system—a nofault workers’ compensation
system—replaced the faultoriented system. Workers no
longer had to sue to recover
for industrial injuries, but
would receive swift and certain compensation irrespective of fault. Instead of lump
sum payments that might be
awarded in lawsuits, injured
workers would receive legislatively prescribed benefits
designed to address the particular type of loss.
Q: What is the basic
form of workers’ compensation benefit?
A: The benefit that
replaces the immediate loss
arising from an injury is
called temporary total disability compensation (TTD). As
with most forms of compensation, TTD benefits are paid
as a percentage of the injured
worker’s average earnings
(usually two-thirds), subject
to a maximum weekly rate. If
you are an injured worker in
Ohio, you would receive TTD
when you are unable to return
to your regular job or offered
work and when you have not
yet returned to work, but your
disability remains temporary.
Q: I was injured at
work. What if I cannot return
to my former job, but must accept a lower-paying job?
A: You may qualify
for a form of compensation
called wage loss compensation to address this loss. Wage
loss benefits are payable for
up to four years at two-thirds
of the difference between
your after-injury earnings
and your average wage.
Q: What happens if
I need to be retrained?
A: You may need to
acquire new skills to return
to the workforce. Not only
are the costs of vocational
rehabilitation paid for under workers’ compensation,
but you may also qualify to
receive a form of compensation similar to TTD called
living maintenance while
you are being retrained. If
you have completed your
rehabilitation, but must take
a lower-wage job, you may
also be eligible for another
type of wage loss compensation.
Q: What if I can
never return to work?
A: If you are permanently removed from
the workforce by an injury,
then you may be entitled to
lifetime benefits called permanent total disability compensation (PTD). To receive
this compensation, you must
demonstrate that you are no
longer able to perform any
sustained remunerative employment. If you suffer serious losses, such as the loss
of use of both legs, you also
may be eligible for PTD,
even though you may be
working.
Q: What happens if
my spouse dies as a result of
a work-related injury?
A: You, as the surviving spouse, would receive
compensation for life or
until you remarry. Any children you may have would
also receive benefits (generally until age 18, the age
of majority, but these benefits may be extended under
certain circumstances). The
weekly benefit amount would
be apportioned among your
spouse’s survivors.
Q: Might I be able
to receive compensation for
“pain and suffering” related
to my work injury?
A: No, but there
is a benefit that is unrelated
to economic loss called a
permanent partial disability
award (PPD). PPD compensates you for impairment to
or loss of a body part. There
are two forms of PPD. One
compensates you for the percentage of impairment caused
by the injury, and the other
compensates you for the loss
of a body part according to a
schedule set in the workers’
compensation statutes.
Q: If I have a workers’ compensation claim, can
I choose to settle it by taking
a lump sum?
A: Yes. Claims may be settled
in whole or in part in Ohio.
However, because the Ohio
system is designed to address
an injured worker’s needs at
different times after a claim
is filed, many workers choose
not to settle because of the
years of protection that the
Ohio system provides.

From the creative and
highly imaginative author John
E. Bush comes a delightful and
highly engaging anthology that is
composed of poetry, essays and
letters in Them Birds Are in Your
Garden and Other Vignettes.
This book reflects the author’s
thoughts on how to live life to
the fullest and how to achieve
a productive and meaningful
family, career and relationship.
Excerpt
from
Them Birds Are in Your Garden and Other Vignettes:
While some of us find
some happiness and contentment
From
time
to
time
Others are not so fortunate
And have to do without
But we all do the best we can
And deal with our private sadness
When we watch those
birds

This narrative believes that in life, there are always obstacles that interfere
with plans and desires but one
should learn how to to manage
them, especially when it comes
to achieving one’s goals in life.
This book is dedicated to Wilbur Chambers, who
celebrated his 100th birthday on
June 28, 2013. He certainly faced
many challenges as he made it to
the century mark as a successful teacher, artist and friend. It
is also dedicated to the author’s
friend Nelson Rivera who managed to overcome many problems on his way to become a very
successful bilingual teacher.
Them Birds Are in
Your Garden and Other Vignettes springs from the author’s personal life experiences,
especially from his sincere
desire to witness more humanity to the world. He would like
to live in a place where the
good that is done gets as much
or more publicity as the evil
that is paraded in the media.

Gladiators win home finale
By ANDREW CARTER
The Gladiators left 8500 Cleveland fans happy by winning their final home game of the season beating the Orlando Predators, 65-62. Cleveland QB Chris Dieker completed 24 of 41 passes
for 273 yards. He threw for six TDs and ran for two more. For his
offensive efforts, Dieker was named Arena Football League Week
18 MVP. Thyron Lewis and Dominick Goodman each scored
three TDs for the Gladiators. Orlando scored with 12 seconds left
to come within three points and Cleveland recovered the ensuing
onside kick and ran out the clock. The Gladiators stand at 4-13. Orlando is 6-11. The Gladiators finish the 2013 season this Saturday
in Utah. The Blaze is 6-11.
Browns open training camp with enthusiasm
By KARL BRYANT
Brandon Weeden, apparently showing the crowd who’s the No. 1 QB during a scrimmage

Tribe stumble in 2nd half, Wedge suffers stroke
By KARL BRYANT
The Indians hadn’t
done too well since the AllStar Break, winning just once
before Wednesday’s Seattle
series finale.
The Tribe offense
finally came untracked that
day, as they put up a 10spot on the Mariners. On the
same day as that 10-1 victory,
word came that former Tribe
skipper, Eric Wedge, the
Mariners’ current Manager,
who’d been missing from the
opposing dugout the whole
series, had suffered a stroke
on Monday. Fortunately, the
prognosis for Wedge is a full
recovery as the team was “a
very mild stroke,” but nonetheless, he would be home
resting for the next 10 days.
The Tribe, resuming
play following the All-Star
Break, lost two of three to
Minnesota and then followed
that up with back-to-back
one-run losses to Seattle.
The four close losses since
the All-Star Break dropped
the Tribe’s record in one-run
games, which had been very
good, to 18-13.
The first game loss
was a tough one, 2-1, by Ubaldo Jimenez, who only allowed runs on solo HRs to
Kendrys Morales and Mike
Zunino. Nick Swisher, just
moved to the No. 2 spot in
the Tribe lineup, provided a
1st inning HR for the Indians’
lone tally.
In Game 2, Zack
McAllister allowed four
runs (three earned) in the
first three innings, and the
Mariners made those stand
up-beating the Tribe, 4-3. Asdrubal Cabrera’s single and a
Yan Gomes 2 Run HR provided the Tribe’s runs. Three
Indian errors didn’t help, although Swisher threw out a
runner at the plate.
The next day, the
The World Golf
Championships-Bridgestone Invitational will welcome women from across
the region for Executive
Women’s Day on Tuesday,
July 30, at Firestone Country Club.
For the second
year, a sold-out crowd of
200 Northeast Ohio women
are taking advantage of a
unique morning event on
the site of one of the world’s
most elite golf tournaments.
Sports agent Molly
Fletcher, nicknamed “the

CNN, is the keynote speaker.
Fletcher has recruited the top athletes,
coaches and broadcasters
throughout the country for
nearly two decades.
She
has
also
worked with some of the
biggest names in sports,
negotiating more than $500
million in contracts.
Fletcher’s
clients have included Major
League Baseball stars, PGA
TOUR and LPGA golfers,
NBA and NCAA coaches,
and media personalities.
Bridgestone to host women
Indians keeled over the Mariners and their season-high
eight-game winning streak
as they exploded for 10 runs,
while Scott Kazmir held them
to one hit and one unearned
run (on a Cabrera error) with
a stellar eight inning outing. Vinnie Pestano allowed
one other hit in the 9th inning. Michael Bourn hit his
first career Grand Slam HR
and Cabrera made up for his
gaff with a solo shot. Kazmir
struck out seven as he improved his record to 6-4.
Tribe Manager Terry Francona, after giving Kazmir credit for the great job,
intoned what all Tribe fans
were feeling, said, “The win
was much needed.”
The Indians have
returned home to Progressive Field, where they will
entertain Texas and Chicago
before ‘taking their talents
to South Beach’ to play the
Marlins.
The
Cleveland
Browns, with a new head
coach, new coordinators, a
new offense, a new defense,
and some new players, began
pursuit of making the NFL
playoffs for the 2013 season
when they opened Training
Camp 2013 on Thursday.
New Head Coach
Rob Chudzinski, who ran
over to shake hands and ‘high
five’ fans after the first practice said, “Yeah, there was
some barking. I was one of
them,” referring to his earlier
life as a Browns fan. He went
on to say, “That’s the kind of
excitement we want out here
at practice that we want to
generate.”
During
practice,
a different No. 15, Devone
Bess, caught a nice sideline
pass in stride from Brandon
Weeden, who took almost
all of the reps with the First
Team. WR Greg Little, who
used to wear “15,” said that
Bess bought his number from
him. Little, who was wearing No. 18, spoke about the
team’s stides after practice,
saying, “It’s early, but we’re
getting the hang of the new
system.”
OL Jabaal Sheard,
who broke up a couple of
plays and mixed it up a little,
talked about some of the extracurricular activity that occasionally was going on during the practice.
“Everything is all
right. We’re just happy to be
out there doing something.
After all the OTA’s and walking through practices, when
you can finally hit somebody,
even if it isn’t supposed to be
too hard, you do it,” Sheard
said.
After practice, he
sought out a couple of little
girls, who were wearing
“Sheard” jerseys, over on the
sidelines.
RB Trent Richardson said that he’s looking
forward to the pre-season
games and will be “more than
ready” for them.
“I still haven’t done
all of the things I think I can
do. I’ve still got to do a lot of
improvement (sic),” Richardson said.
Hall of Famer Jim
Brown, who again is an advisor to the team, mentioned
Richardson to this reporter after practice, saying, “Trent’s
got what it takes to be a real
player in this league.”
It was also reported
that Brown had brought Richardson up in front of the team
when he gave words of encouragement to them before
the practice.
Many eager young
fans were in attendance along
with their parents. Nine-year
old Jeremy said, “It’s football season. I love football. I
know the Browns are going
to be good this year!”
His dad said that
he’d been looking forward
to coming to the first practice
ever since he had heard that
the Rookies came to Camp
last week. Eleven-year old
Jaqueze was wearing a Richardson jersey and said, “I can
hardly wait until they start to
play for real! He’s (Richardson) gonna score a bunch of
touchdowns.”
Let’s hope the
Browns play well enough to
keep that enthusiasm going

Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
Karl Mildenberger fought the top fighters
Outside of former
heavyweight champion Max
Schmeling,Karl Mildenberger is the most popular heavyweight Germany has ever
produced. Mildenberger was
born on November 23,1937
and began his foray into professional boxing in 1958. He
won his first 11 bouts but
in 1959 and he suffered his
first setback to Helmut Ball.
Mildenberger then went on to
win his next 19 bouts. Among
his victims were Jimmy
Slade, Franco Cavicchi, Harold Carter, Young Jack Johnson. Wayne Bethea, Howard
King and Pete Rademacher.
On
February
24,1962 Mildenberger challenged Dick Richardson for
the European Boxing Union
title. Richardson shocked
Mildenberger
stopping
him in the very first round.
Mildenberger would bounce
back to go unbeaten in his
next 22 contests. He fought
draws with Archie McBride,
Zora Folley and Amos Johnson. Mildenberger would
defeat Joe Bygraves, Von
Clay, Bethea again and Mc-
Mildenberger
Bride in a rematch. He also
defeated Joe Erskine and
Billy Daniels. On October
17,1964 Mildenberger would
knock out Santo Amonti in
one round to capture the European crown. Mildenberber
made three successful defenses against Piero Tomasoni, Gerhard Zech and Ivan
Prebeg. Mildenberger also
won a decision over Eddie
Machen.
Finally
Mildenberger received a shot at the
world’s heavyweight championship on September 10,
1966 when he took a lofty
49-2-3 record into the ring
to face Muhammad Ali. It
turned out to be a tough fight
for the champion. Early on
it seemed like Ali was a bit
confused by Mildenberger’s
southpaw style. As the fight
progressed though Ali’s size,
speed and superior skills took
over. Muhammad finally halted his stubborn challenger in
round 12. Mildenberger has
the distinction of being the
first southpaw to fight for the
heavyweight title.
Mildenberger
returned to action defending his
European title twice against
Tomasoni and Billy Walker.
He also stopped Amos “Big
Train” Lincoln. Ali had been
stripped of the heavyweight
championship for refusing
induction in to the United
States Army.
The World Boxing
Association held a tournament to determine a new title
holder. Eight boxers were
chosen and Mildenberger
was one of them. His first
opponent would be strong
but crude Oscar Bonavena
of Argentina. After Mildenberger’s performance against
Ali many felt he had a good
chance to defeat Bonavena.
Bonavena though turned in a
career best performance. He
floored Mildenberger in four
different rounds but the game
Mildenberger made it to the
final bell. Bonavena won a
clear cut 12 round decision.
Mildenberger would
again defend his European
title successfully against Gerhard Zech. The came a seventh round knockout loss to
Leotis Martin. On September
18,1968 Mildenberger met
Henry Cooper in London for
the European crown. Mildenberger lost the title to Cooper
via a controversial disqualification for illegal use of the
head. It would be Mildenberger’s last fight.
Mildenberger would
retire with a fine 53-6-3 record. He recorded 19 knockouts while he was stopped on
four occasions.
He met five men
who also challenged for the
world title. Mildenberger also
held the European title nearly
four years defending it six
times.

'Sax Man' entertains street audiences
By PAT WHITE
Maurice Reedus Jr., known as ‘The Sax Man,’ recently
headlined a sold out concert at the House of Blues that was filmed as
the finale of a feature film based on his life scheduled for release in
January 2014. Reedus is performing in front of the Palace Theater.
Maurice Reedus
Jr., known as ‘The Sax
Man,’ recently headlined
a sold out concert at the
House of Blues that was
filmed as the finale of a feature film based on his life.
Reedus has been a
fixture on the Downtown
Cleveland scene serenading crowds after Indians
games or during the busy
lunchtime rush as well as
concerts.
Among his legion
of fans was documentary
film maker Joe Siebert
who is set to release Reedus’ biopic ‘The Sax Man’
in January 2014.
While passersby
enjoy his music, the Cleveland police consider Reedus a nuisance and have
ticketed him for violations
ranging from loud music to
peddling. During one occasion, Reedus was arrested
and he says that his saxophone was roughed up.
While the courts
have always sided with
Reedus, the “harassment’
by police have him considering relocating.
“I don’t ask for
nothing. You don’t have
to pay me. Just let me play
my horn without getting
harassed,” Reedus said
He is part of a musical legacy in Cleveland.
Maurice Reedus Sr., his
late father, was a Grammy
winning artist who played
tenor saxophone for 35
years with Robert Lockwood Jr.’s band.
Reedus Sr. went
from the projects on Quincy Ave. to performing with
Nancy Wilson, Jimmy
Smith and Lou Rawls.
Reedus Jr. has
been entertaining Clevelanders for 25 years, and
Councilman Joe Cimperman, who represents
downtown, would like
Reedus to remain a downtown fixture.
Cimperman introduced and help pass
legislation known as the
Street Performers Ordinance which allows street
performers like Reedus to
continue to entertain.
Reedus says he

By NANCY ANN LEE
Ray Brown
Legendary jazz bassist Ray Brown remembers
Cleveland back in the '40s.
"There was a club
owned by a guy who was a
numbers baron. They called
him Little Brother or something like that. I played there
with Ella Fitzgerald [Brown's
first wife], Hank Jones and
Charlie Smith. That was my
trio in those days. Must have
been '47 or '48. I can't remember the location."
Brown's popularity
grew from his success with the
Jazz at the Philharmonic band
and from performances with
personal friend and colleague
Oscar Peterson from 1951-66.
He came to Cleveland with both groups.
Brown was born in
Pittsburgh on October 13,
1926.
He hit New York's
52nd Street scene in the mid40s, met trumpeter Dizzie
Gillespie and worked with him
from 1946-47.
By the early 50s,
Brown's marriage (and working relationship) with Fitzgerald ended.
Brown remarried in
1954. He settled in Los Angeles, was a studio musician
for many years, and now tours
and records with his trio.
He occasionally
still performs with the L.A.
Four (Laurindo Almeida, Bud
Shank and Jeff Hamilton) a
band he joined in 1974.
He has made numerous recordings.

Da 'Round Da Way Rewind Review
Movie features Ross and Williams
By C.M. APPLING
The motion-picture
genre of a ‘black romance’
is still a fairly new subject
in the history of film itself.
In the 1990’s and the early
2000’s, African-American
audiences were treated to an
emotional feast of relationship-driven movies that explored the passion, intimacy,
sensitivity and eroticism
rarely seen on screen between black men and women.
Jason’s Lyric (starring Allen Payne and Jada
Pinkett-Smith) was a sizzling, Romeo and Julietstyled drama between a
Southern, TV salesman and
a waitress whose brothers
were at war. Love & Basketball (starring Omar Epps and
Sanaa Lathan) chronicled
the childhood through early
adulthood lives of two male/
female friends whose mutual
dedication and admiration
for
their sport eventually reveals
their true feelings for each
other. love jones (starring
Larenz Tate and Nia Long)
featured a male writer and
spoken-word poet and a female photographer whose artistic careers intertwine with
their complicated, on-again,
off-again romance until they
both reach a point of equal
attraction and forgiveness.
And, black filmmaker Tyler Perry has made
many, romantic comedies/
dramas that centered around
a simple, black love story.
However, before
any of these other sexy, cinematic efforts were brought
to big-screen movie theatres,
there was one that set a standard and precedent for these
that came later. It was Lady
Sings The Blues.
Produced by music
impresario Berry Gordy’s
Motown label and Paramount Pictures, the film was
actually based on the autobiography of jazz legend Billie
Holiday. In the 1920’s and
‘30’s, Holiday made musical
history by becoming the first
black woman to tour with an
all-white band. Although an
outstanding success as a prolific music artist, her life was
nonetheless shadowed by the
rigors of racism and an addiction to heroin.
Another music legend was cast to portray the
tragic Holiday. Diana Ross
and The Supremes were one
of Berry Gordy’s most successful acts on the Motown
label in the 1960’s.
Lady Sings The
Blues was her first, major acting role and she was
nominated for a Best Actress
Oscar for her performance.
Cast opposite her as
her principal love interest,
Louis McKay, was an actor
whose role in this film would
forever garner him the reputation as the black, romantic,
matinee-idol for all black
women for a generation: Billy Dee Williams.
Together, on-screen,
Ross and Williams’ melancholy romance struck a chord
in black movie audience’s
hearts like never before.
Their’s was not an
overtly-sexual or boiling-hot
passion born of lust. Instead,
it showed Williams’ character, McKay, courting and romancing Ross’ character in a
gentle, tender manner tinged
with an underlying heat that
simmered just beneath the
surface. And, as Holiday was
shown spiraling downward
from her perch of jazz perfection, McKay was there to
support her, desperately trying to save her from herself
once her addiction becomes
overwhelming.
Throughout the history of mankind, it has traditionally been the woman’s
place in society to support
‘her man’, under any and
all circumstances. That was
their ‘duty’.
But, when the roles
were reversed, as in the case
in Lady, the concept of a
black man supporting ‘his
woman’ throughout her trials and tribulations, was too
enticing for black women to
resist. They fell in love with
Williams and pledged their
eternal devotion for him after
appearing in this role.
Lady Sings The
Blues also featured 1970’s
comic trailblazer Richard
Pryor in the role of ‘Piano
Man’, Holiday’s friend. The
soundtrack for the film showcased Ross’ modern interprettations of Holiday’s haunting,
plaintive classics.
Based on their boxoffice popularity after Lady
was released, Ross and Wiliams were cast together again
in the motion-picture Mahogany, where she portrayed an
aspiring fashion-designer and
he was her politician love interest.
This would be Ross’
final success and although
Williams went on to star and
co-star in other, 1970’s and
‘80’s movies, none would
match what he did in Lady
Sings The Blues.
The powerful, bittersweet performance of
Ross and Williams generated
a new genre in film that the
white-run, movie studios and
companies had no idea ex-

Students learn medical research at university
By PAT WHITE
Students from
the Cleveland Municipal School District have
an opportunity to conduct biomedical research
at the CASE School of
Medicine during summer
vacation as part of the
Scientific Enrichment and
Opportunity (SEO) program.
The SEO program is under the auspice
s of Dr. Nathan A. Berger.
Approximately
20 students from James
Ford Rhodes, Glenville,
John F. Kennedy, and
John Hay Cleveland
School of Science and
Medicine are awarded
research opportunities to
be trained in laboratory
techniques implemented
in biomedical research.
Under the guidance of medical school
faculty, the students learn
first hand about the scientific methods used in the
lab.
According to Dr.
Ruth Keri in the department of pharmacology,
the program is a fantastic
opportunity for students
to get excited about science.
“ The program
gives high school kids
an opportunity to see that
science is cool,” Dr. Keri
said.
She said that
with the fundamental
problem in the country
with not enough students
going into STEM ( science, technology, engineering, and math) fields,
this program encourages
minorities, and especially
minority women, to enter
the field.
Dr. Keri hopes
that through the program
minority women will discover how many women
are successful in scientific
disciplines and join their
ranks.
One outstanding
summer student is Cashalynn Bolden who is a junior
at Glenville High School.
Bolden, who plans to pursue a career as a pediatrician, said her guidance
counselor recommended
her for the program based
on her grades and her extracurricular activities.
“My research
is finding a drug to treat
cancer cells by looking
at a protein that will react
with an antibody,” Bolden
said.
When Bolden
is not in the lab, she runs
track and will be going
to Indiana with the Calvary Apostolic Assembly
Church for a church convention later in the summer.
John F. Kennedy
senior, Tavaris Tucker, is
in his second year in the
program. He is working
with doctoral student,
Kelly Steller, in Dr. John
Mieyal’s lab on a study
to help patients suffering
from Parkinson’s disease.
“I plan to go to
Cleveland State University, and study physical
therapy,” Tucker said.
Tucker, a top
student, was recommended for the program by his
biology teacher. When
Tucker is not in the lab,
he is training for crosscountry.
The SEO program began on June 10th
and will conclude with a
research poster presentation of the students’ summer research on Thursday, August 1 from 9:00
a.m. to 12:00 noon in the
lobby of the Case Western
Reserve University Biomedical Research Building, 10900 Euclid Ave.
the district, it is the hope that
the 13 schools will improve
educationally per state guidelines.
Additionally, other
plans, which will continue
through the school year are in
motion with meetings to refine
the plans will take place during
the summer at schools.
Changes for the
13 schools include replacing
five of the schools’ principles.
Some teachers and staff are
also being assigned to other
schools. Every teacher and
administrator will be required
to sign a commitment pledge
focused on that school’s improvement mission.
Although this approach will take more time,
community leaders, parents
and principles will choose new
teachers and administrators.
Seifullah, said that
the 13 schools are unique.
The new approaches to the
investment schools will “help
teachers, and principles have a
new degree of readiness to adequately teach the students.”
Collinwood
and
Lincoln-West schools will follow three other high schools
in the district and take part in
the New Tech model of instruction. This model teaches
through service learning projects. Students will complete
these projects as a part of the
curriculum.
Cambium Learning Group out of Dallas will
be working with John Adams
High School and Carl & Louis
Stokes elementary to change
curriculum and school culture.
The Efficacy Institute and the Center for Transformative Teacher Training
will also work with the district
to offer training for teaching
methods, in addition to changing school culture.
Although the district’s contract with the Efficacy Institute is incomplete,
an estimated $900,000 will be
paid to them for their services.
An “all school positive restart” will be held to
ensure staff and principles provide a more positive culture.
The school culture
will focus on new social and
emotional supports.
Also teachers will
be required to provide reasons for corrective actions that
have been given to students.
The goal is that students stay
encouraged.
Although Stokes elementary school, which is prek through eighth grade on East
40th Street received a failing
grade a few years ago, during
the 2009-2010 school year,
it received a passing grade of
a D. At that point a total staff
change was unnecessary.
However during
the 2011-12 school year, the
school received an F and was
on Academic Emergency. The
2012-13 score will be available in the fall for the schools.
The contract between the district and Cambium will cost an estimated $1.1
million. Cambium will focus
on students’ data and determine how best to institute new
cultural changes, new goals
and tests.
Max Hayes High
School and East Tech high
schools have used the New
Tech model since the 201011 school year. East Tech was
recently rated with a C by the
state and Max Hayes received
a B.
Another
school
which began last year, mixed
the New Tech model and the
old model which included the
technology component along
with a social justice model
known as Facing History and
Ourselves. Grades for this
school will come out in the
fall.
Collinwood and
Lincoln-West would be the
district’s fourth and fifth New
Tech schools. Their old model
of teaching will no longer be
used.
Under the Cleveland Plan, principles who
guide their schools to score
higher within the district on
state tests will be given more
authority and control over their
school’s budgets as well as to
set schedules and priorities for
their schools.
There are nine
“Transformation
Schools”
which have received a grade of
a B or better for three straight
years and it is believed that
if the schools are given more
control, their growth will continue.
The Transformation Alliance which is forming
under the Cleveland Plan has
formed a new panel and will
start a campaign that will address families about quality of
schools and the choices available to them.
Through the Transformatin Alliance, parents will
have the opportunity to review the higher-rated schools
including district and charter
schools.
“The best option for
the city to succeed is for the
students to succeed,” Seifullah
said.
Cashalynn Bolden(left) shows off her research project for the SEO program to
faculty member, Dr. Ruth Keri.
School district makes changes to improve education
By NICOLE CRAWFORD
Thirteen schools
in the Cleveland Municipal
School District (CMSD) are
the focus of sweeping changes
to staff and curriculum.
Alan Seifullah, interim director of assignments
at CMSD, said that focus is on
students education.
“The whole focus
is for the students to advance
educationally,”
Seifullah
said. “We need to improve the
educational process.”
Not only will teachers receive training, but some
schools will also have new
principles as outside agencies
come in to assist with new
styles and teaching techniques.
