After meeting with state and local elected politicians, state
officials have agreed to keep the East 55th Street driver’s license examination station open while they search for a more suitable location in
Cleveland. The decision to not close the East 55th Street site was made
recently during a meeting at the exam station among Cleveland Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland, State Rep. Sandra Williams, state Public Safety
Director Thomas Charles and Col. John Born, superintendent of the Ohio
Highway Patrol. The station whish is near Interstate 490, was scheduled to
close Saturday. State officials had previously said that closing the station
was a cost-cutting move that would save $40,000 a year. The site is the
least busy of Cuyahoga County’s four testing locations.

Recipients receive MLK Community Service Awards
The Cleveland Orchestra and the city of Cleveland,
in cooperation with the Greater
Cleveland Partnership, recently
honored the recipients of the Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award, which recognizes an individual, a youth and a
business or organization that have
positively impacted Cleveland in
the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King.
Dr. Julian Earls received
the award for an individual, Cedric Thorbes received the award
honoring a youth, and BaldwinWallace College’s Division of
Student Affairs received the award
honoring a business or organization.
The recipients were honored at the Orchestra’s 31st annual
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert held at Severance
Hall. Cleveland Mayor Frank
Jackson presented the awards.
In 2010, a feature in the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called Dr.
Earls “a prominent African-American physicist - known around the
country as a Renaissance man.”
In his advocacy of educational opportunities for our region’s young
people, his drive for educational
Gasoline prices in area increase
The average price for a
gallon of self-serve, regular unleaded
gasoline in Northeast Ohio increased
2.2 cents per gallon $3.14.
According to AAA’s Fuel
Gauge, crude oil prices were down
$1.55 Monday, settling at $87.48 at
the close of formal trading on the
NYMEX.
This marks a $4.71 retreat
in prices from the multi-year high set
last week.
For the crude oil market,
this week begins the same way as the
last with attention focused squarely
on Egypt. Last Monday, a weekend
of civil unrest, political upheaval,
and market uncertainty in the Egyptian capital of Cairo pressured crude
prices to highs not seen since 2008.
The end of last week
brought more images of violence in
the streets of Cairo, however, these
were accompanied by what market
watchers and geopolitical pundits
perceived as the framework for deliberate progress toward a stable transition of power.
Traders
begrudgingly
agreed that market fundamentals—
hefty crude supply and weak demand—needed to be accounted for
and, while keeping one eye firmly
trained on Egypt, oil prices began to
retreat.
This trend continued today
following the return of many Egyptians to work yesterday and meetings between Egyptian officials and
leaders of the opposition, further
easing concerns of destabilization in
the region. This downward pressure
on crude prices was compounded by
strength in the U.S. dollar versus the
euro, following a report that German
factory orders had disappointed for
December.
When the dollar strengthens, investors, including those holding foreign currencies, are less likely
to invest in commodities, including
crude, which pressures prices down.
As the price of crude looked
to Egypt for much of its direction last
week, gasoline prices focused more
fully on fundamental data here at
home.
The impact of winter
weather throughout the northeast and
an increase in gasoline imports combined for what some market watchers
deemed a “colossal” jump in gasoline
stocks as DOE on Wednesday reported a 6.2 million barrel increase in
gasoline stocks to 236.2 million barrels—their highest level since March
of 1990.
Despite bearish fundamental data for gasoline, consumers have
not yet felt any relief at the pump. As
of today, the current national retail average price for a gallon of self-serve
regular gasoline is $3.12, up two
cents more than a week ago, three
cents more than a month ago, and 44
cents more than a year ago.
Thirty-six states and the
District of Columbia are averaging
$3 or more per gallon for self-serve
regular.

excellence, and his contributions to
the economic health of our community, Dr. Earls sets the highest standard of achievement.
Dr. Earls holds a doctorate
in radiation physics from the University of Michigan and numerous
honorary degrees. He is a graduate of the Harvard Business School
Program for Management Development.
A high school senior,
Thorbes has already distinguished
himself as a leader. Currently he
serves as president of four organizations: Cleveland NAACP Youth
Council, Cleveland Southern Christian Leadership Conference Youth
Chapter, the BRICK (Brotherhood,
Respect, Intelligence, Conduct,
Knowledge) program for young men
in Cleveland’s inner city, and the
Glenville High School Senior Class
of 2011, where he carries a 4.0 average. In addition, Thorbes serves as
a student leader and ambassador for
the Cleveland Metropolitan School
District.
At his young age, Thorbes
has already been featured in Essence and Kaleidoscope magazines
as well as The Plain Dealer and Call
& Post newspapers. He is truly an
advocate for educational excellence
and social justice, and his commitment to the betterment of society is
admirable.
Through its mission of supporting and accepting differences of
gender, race, ethnicity, culture, and
sexual preference, the Student Affairs Division of Baldwin-Wallace
College advances Dr. King’s belief
that leaders of all ages must come
together in unity to create a better
world.
The varied programs of
the Student Affairs Division help
promote a climate of greater understanding: The B-W Scholars program helps young African-American men develop the academic skills
and goals needed to reach college
and to succeed in higher education.
The B-W SPROUT (Single Parents
Reach Out for Unassisted Tomorrows) program provides students
with financial aid, housing, and
childcare, as well as visiting speakers.

Antuan Lewis is on trial for city’s deadliest fire
In what is considered
Cleveland’s deadliest fire in
which nine people were killed,
Antuan Lewis has been on trial
in U.S. District Court and is
accused of setting the fire.
Lewis, 27, is accused
of setting the fire that killed
Madeia Carter, 33 and eight
children during a birthday
sleepover on May 21, 2005, at
East 87th Street and Superior
Avenue.
If convicted, Lewis
faces life in prison.
Killed in the fire were:
Madeia Carter, 33; four of her
children - Devonte Carter, 15;
Moses, 14; Maleeya Williams,
11; Fakih Jones, 7, Antwon
Jackson, 14; a cousin, Ernest
Tate Jr., 13; Shauntavia Mitchell, 12 and Miles Cockfield,
13.
Lewis’ lawyers ended
his defense the recently, the
same way they began the trial,
by attacking the government’s
case by challenging the stories
of key prosecution witnesses
who linked their client to the
deadly arson.
Defense
attorneys
called seven witnesses during
the trial, including a woman
Lewis
Lewis dated and a man who
spent time with him in prison.
When lawyers present
their closing arguments to jurors,
the jury could begin deliberating
the case.
For nearly three weeks,
prosecutors built their case on
the testimony of more than three
dozen witnesses.
Much of it came from
several felons who testified that
Lewis told them details of the
fire, including that he set it to get
back at a person who lived in the
house and that he had been using
marijuana laced with embalming
fluid at the time.

Gloria McIntyre appointed to national board
Retired Strongsville
High School educator Gloria McIntyre was recently
appointed to fill the vacant
position of vice president on
the Educational Theatre Association’s (EdTA) board of
directors.
The position of vice
president carries a two-year
term, from August 1, 2011
through July 31, 2013, with
the vice president becoming
president for a two-year term
starting on August 1, 2013.
The EdTA board
made the appointment at its
scheduled face-to-face meeting in Cincinnati, January
21-23.
McIntyre received
the second highest number of
votes in last fall’s vice presidential election.
She fills a vacancy
that was created when vice
president-elect Jay Seller resigned the office to preserve
his eligibility to apply for the
EdTA executive director position.
“We engaged in a
long and careful deliberative
process and looked at a lot
of different scenarios,” says
EdTA Board President Debby Gibbs. “We reviewed the
McIntyre
results of the election process.
We discussed the precedent of
a previous vacancy in the position and the board’s options
under the code of regulations.
We considered the viable candidates and discussed the possibility of making an appointment from among the general
membership. Ultimately, we
decided that the best course
of action was to appoint the
candidate who received the
second highest vote total in
the last election.”
McIntyre spent 30
years teaching theatre, English, and French at Strongsville High School before retiring in 2009.
Shamara Ray's debut novel, "Recipe For Love"
(Strebor/Atria Books; February 2011; ISBN: 978-159309-327-3; $12.00/$14.00
Can.), has all the ingredients
for the quintessential guilty
pleasure: one part culinary delight, with a healthy heaping
of romance, and pinch of sus-
A graduate of The
Ohio State University with a
double major in English and
French, she continued her
studies on the graduate level
with coursework in theatre,
lighting design, theatre education, and directing.
McIntyre was the director of International Thespian Society troupe #3226,
EdTA’s student honorary division, at Strongsville High
during her teaching tenure;
served as Ohio EdTA chapter director; and continues as
a member of the Ohio EdTA
State Board.
She has prior expe-
rience on the EdTA board of
directors, serving as a member from 2001-2004. Her
professional contributions to
the field of education include
work on the Ohio academic
standards content team and
the Ohio Department of Education’s model lesson plan
writing team.
“I think Gloria is a
great choice,” Gibbs adds.
“Having served on the board
before, she’s familiar with
the ins and outs of the work.
And although she is retired,
she’s still in close touch with
members in the classroom. I
think she’ll do a great job."
“I’m not sure if familiarity breeds contempt in marriage, but I’m sure it breeds boredom in the bedroom. If you and
your partner are in a sexual rut,
Davis and Arana will help dig
you out by offering you concrete
advice for rekindling the juiciness you felt when you first met.
Their counter-intuitive, yet effective suggestions will bring out
the sexual siren in you and bring
back passion to your relationship.” - Michele Weiner-Davis,
author of The Sex-Starved Marriage, The Sex-Starved Wife, and
Divorce Busting.
“What a refreshing take
on an old theme—keeping sex
alive in long-term relationships.
Maggie and Julienne let us have
it straight from the gut, without
therapy-speak. Their down-toearth advice could revolutionize
your marriage and also help you
rediscover your vibrant fun-loving self.” - Gina Ogden, Ph.D.,

In this deliciously
sexy novel, we are introduced
to Jade, a pretty, 31-year-old
restaurateur who has always
had a problem admitting when
she's wrong-typically finding fault in others rather than
herself. But when she begins
a new relationship with her
main competitor without having proper closure in her previous one, the repercussions are
severe and she stands to lose
much more than she bargained
for.
Jade dated Bryce
for four years before he unceremoniously and abruptly
ended their relationship. She
decides after three weeks to
date Cain, though she had not
fully grieved the ending of her
relationship with Bryce.
Bryce soon returns,
just as Jade is basking in her
new found romance, filled
with concerts, kisses, movies,
and jacuzzis.
She also quickly
realizes there are others that
don't share her happiness.
Deception and omission is
Jade's remedy for naysayers,
including her business partner
and best friend, Bria - Bryce's
sister.
Just as Jade settles
into the idea that she wants
to be with Cain, her lies come
back to haunt her and she has
no one to blame but herself.
Jade discovers that she must
face the error of her own ways
before it's too late to salvage
what matters to her most.
Ray is a graduate
of Syracuse University. She
currently develops business
training programs for Fortune
500 executives. She has a penchant for the culinary arts and
enjoys entertaining friends
and family in her Long Island
Home. She is currently working on her next novel. Visit

(NAPSM)-Many
African Americans who live
in areas with limited access
to specialized medical care
for Parkinson's disease (PD)
often delay getting proper
treatment, resulting in unnecessary complications due to
the illness.
Now, help may be at
hand.
The National Parkinson Foundation (NPF)
has launched the first English and Spanish, PD toll-free
Helpline at (800) 4PD-INFO
((800) 473-4636). "You don't
have to face Parkinson's

Book denounces 'Honey' and encourages sex
'Recipe For Love' deals with deception
Publisher - Ulysses Glen
News Editor:
Early warning signs of Parkinson's disease
tems. I’m saving ‘Honey’ for my
girlfriends and grandchildren!”
- Dr. Pat Love, author of Hot
Monogamy and The Truth About
Love and co-author of How To
Improve Your Marriage Without
Talking About It.
Written for women of
all ages, Stop Calling Him Honey…and Start Having Sex! (HCI
Trade Paperback Original; November 2010) by Maggie Arana
and Julienne Davis, looks at the
subtle yet powerful ways we’re
dulling our desire for each other
and gives readers tangible solutions to ultimately reawaken the
fire in our relationships. Challenging the status quo, Arana
and Davis argue that the everyday things we say and do can
sabotage our sexual chemistry,
and calling your partner "honey"
is only the beginning.
While other books
recommend date nights and
sex in different locations, Stop
Calling Him Honey - and Start
Having Sex looks at the subtle
and powerful ways we dull our
desire for each other and offers
groundbreaking advice to solve
this too-common dilemma:
How terms of endearment can hinder your sexuality;
How sharing everything including bathroom habits is not good
for a relationship; Why couples
need to argue more, not less,
and the best ways to do it; How
maintaining a sense of separation will keep you both together;
and Why feeling sexy doesn’t
hinge on having the perfect body
but rather on how a woman feels
about herself and how she projects those feelings to her partner. Finally a sex self-help book
that is revolutionary, humorous,
easy-to-read and inspiring – with
practical advice that gets to the
core of why your sexual desire
diminished in the first place.
Arana was in a sexless
relationship for many years and
her story gives her a unique personal insight on why the "roommate syndrome" is so common
with couples, and what you can
do to change it.
Davis is an international model, singer/musician
and actress, having played the
pivotal role of Mandy Curran in
Stanley Kubrick’s psychological
thriller Eyes Wide Shut.
"Wherever you live, you can
get the help you need."
NPF also has a new,
free brochure, "10 Early
Warning Signs of Parkinson's Disease."
These can include:
Trouble moving or walking;
Tremor or shaking at rest;
Loss of the sense of smell;
An unusually soft or low
voice; ad Dizziness or fainting.
If you have such
symptoms, see a neurologist,
a doctor who specializes in
the brain. A team of specialists can develop a plan that
may delay further symptoms.
The Helpline, with
support from the Medtronic
Foundation, is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. (ET).

Larchmere Blvd awarded funding for Streetscape
The
Larchmere
Streetscape Improvement Project, Phase I was recently awarded $587,041 from the Transportation Enhancement program of
the Northeast Ohio Area Coordinating Agency (NOACA) following the NOACA’s December
meeting.
SHAD and the city of
Cleveland are scheduled to complete engineering of the project
in 2011, with construction slated
to begin in 2012-2013 and to be
completed within 12 months of
the start date.
The project is a major
effort to upgrade the Larchmere
commercial district.
It will enhance the
commercial district with aesthetic improvements that also
strengthen bicycle, pedestrian
and transit access. It will have
a major economic impact on
residents and businesses within
the Larchmere-Shaker Square
community, as well as the entire
Northeast Ohio region, by making the retail district safer, more
attractive and more economically
competitive.
The project is Phase I
of a larger streetscape redevelopment effort that also includes
the N. Moreland intersection and
gateway intersections.
Phase I will include the
area between East 121st Street
and East 130th Street (approximately). One of the changes
included in Phase I will be enhancements to the pedestrian
realm that include the installation of bulb outs at intersection
corners. Bulb outs will shorten
pedestrian crossing distances and
increase safety by improving the
lines of sight between vehicles
and pedestrians.

Memorial services
were recenlty held for Yvonne
DeCarlo Rush at E.F. Boyd

Euclid Avenue. Rev. Charlie
Goodman officiated the service.
Rush was born on
February 25, 1948, in Cleveland and she graduated from

never left her city apartment

Eventually, the city

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
Don Short/Owner
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
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 wor-
ship 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 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 non-
ritual 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."

A Look At My World
You And The Law
My family helps me to stay positive with my situation
Criminal defense lawyers help protect client’s rights
By DAVID ODUM
It would be a stretch
to say that I am happy about my
present situation, but I am doing
everything I can to stay positive,
at least. For me, the years following my stroke have been brutal, I do not know what I would
have done without my family.
A bad break, if I had
been able to make the improvements to our home, it would be
worth double what it is worth
today.
Instead of sitting on
my hands, everyone would be
considerably more busy and I
would be a lot more interesting
and exciting.
Some do not see it that
way, they see it differently, they
think I may have gotten comfortable with my accomplishments
and been hard to control.
There was a time
when I would not take it like a
boost to my career, but a stroke
makes you take a second look.
I could have been a lot worse, I
could have died but I only need
a wheelchair to get around and I
don’t live my life with my head
down.
My son, now an attorney, agrees “the legal system is
set up to allow innocent people
to be found innocent, but also
that those found guilty” to benefit from taking responsibility
for their actions.
By taking responsibility for what you have done, you
eliminate or at least alleviate
some of the time you faced. In
my opinion, I have been given
a second chance and a great opportunity to do right and remove
a dark shadow.
One thing I do not
worry about is my family, they
will do well, and I will not go
down with my head in my lap,
that’s the truth.
To that end, I am off
to a good start, but I miss interacting with the unemployed and
how they showed their appreciation once I found them employmentandtheyreceivedthatfirst
check “drinks for my Employment Rep.”
My name is no longer
hot in the streets as the guy that
can get you a job - a good job.
I can only publicly
voice by disappointment with
the politicians, those engaged in
politics, party politics, professionally or otherwise that prove
a person favors one side or the
other.
My son is not yet
skilled or experienced in practical politics or political science,
but I will give him a few years
of getting knocked around.
As a lawyer, I am sure
he has some knowledge of the
science and art of political government, political science, and
political affairs to protect himself.
And the conducting
of or participation in political
methods, tactics, sometimes
crafty or unprincipled methods,
political opinions, principles or
party connections or factional
scheming for power and status
within a group, could get you
employment at times.
There were times
when I had to be crafty and use
unprincipled methods to do my
job to the satisfaction of my employers, or at least one of my superiors.
It always helps to have
a friend with party connections,
with power and status within a
party. I had such a friend.
Q: What is the job of
the criminal defense lawyer?
A: The criminal defense lawyer does not simply
question witnesses when representing an accused person
in court. The lawyer also
must make sure that the client
is afforded all of the protections provided through the
laws and constitutions of federal and state governments.
Q:What,specifically, does the criminal lawyer
do to make sure an accused
person is protected?
A: Once a person
has been formally accused
of a crime, he or she goes to
court for an “arraignment.”
An arraignment is a
formal reading of the criminal
complaint to inform the accused person of the charges.
At this event, the accused
person (or the lawyer, on behalf of the accused) will enter a formal response to the
charges, called a plea, which
will then be presented to the
judge.
After the arraignment, the lawyer will have time
to conduct an investigation, review police reports and examine the evidence to prepare for
trial.
Q: What does the
criminal defense lawyer do for
the accused person after the arraignment?
A: In the course of
investigating and representing
someone who has been accused
of a crime, the criminal defense
lawyer will:
Provide an objective
perspective of the client’s situation and explain to the client
what is likely to happen, which
is vital for the client, especially
in making a decision about
how to respond to any “plea
bargain” a prosecutor may offer.
Negotiate with a
prosecutor on behalf of the
client in an attempt to reduce
the charges or lessen the punishment recommended by the
prosecutor at sentencing.

Legal Court Interpretation
Attorney fees involved in legal cases
By JUSTICE PAUL E. PFEIFER
Linda Lahman is the
sort of driver we all hope never
to meet on the highway. But on
March 27, 2003, Kimberly NealPettit had that distinct misfortune
when she sustained personal injuries due to an automobile accident with Lahman. When the
accident happened, Lahman was
intoxicated and already fleeing
the scene of an earlier collision.
The ensuing legal
case was heard by a jury, which
returned a verdict against Lahman for compensatory damages
totaling $113,800. The jury also
awared punitive damages totaling $75,000. Punitive damages
are awarded over and above
what will compensate a plaintiff,
and are meant to punish the defendant for his or her behavior.
They’re sometimes referred to
as “exemplary damages” because they’re meant to make an
example of the defendant.
The jury also awarded attorney fees to Neal-Pettit
basedonafindingthatLahman
had acted with malice. The trial
court set the amount of attorney
fees at $46,825 and also awarded
Neal-Pettit $10,084 in expenses.
Lahman was insured
by Allstate Insurance Company.
Allstate paid Neal-Pettit the
amounts awarded as compensatory damages, interest, and expenses, but denied payment of
the punitive damages and attorney fees.
Neal-Pettitthenfileda
supplemental complaint against
Allstate for payment of the attorney fees, and the trial court entered summary judgment in her
favor. Allstate appealed, arguing
that it had not contracted to pay
attorney fees and that an attorney-fee award is an element of
punitive damages, which public
policy prevents an insurer from
covering.
The court of appeals,
however, affirmed the trial
court’s decision, stating that attorney fees are “conceptually
distinct” from punitive damages
and that attorney fees are not expressly excluded from coverage

After that ruling, the case came

clear from the policy’s general
statement of coverage that it did
not agree to cover awards of attorney fees.
It’s true that the policy
doesn’t discuss attorney fees
within the insuring clause. It
does state that Allstate is obligated to pay because of “bodily
injury sustained by any person.”
“Bodily injury” is defined as
“physical harm to the body,
sickness, disease, or death.”
So
the
question
was whether the attorney fees
awarded were for damages that
Lahman was legally obligated
to pay because of the bodily
injury sustained by Neal-Pettit.
Allstate argued that the award
wasn’t covered under the policy because attorney fees aren’t
damages themselves, but are
derivative of punitive damages,
and thus are not awarded as a result of bodily injury.
But our court has long
recognized that attorney-fee
awards and punitive-damages
awards are distinct. In a case
from 1859 our court stated: “In
an action to recover damages for
a tort which involves the ingredients of fraud, malice, or insult,
a jury may go beyond the rule of
mere compensation to the party
aggrieved, and award exemplary
or punitive damages. In such a
case, the jury may, in their estimate of compensatory damages,
take into consideration and include reasonable fees of counsel
employed by the plaintiff in the
prosecution of his action.”
Years later the court
built on that foundation, stating that the doctrine established
in 1859 announced “that in a
case where punitive as well as
compensatory damages may be
awarded, the jury - should regard counsel fees as compensation and not as punishment.”
Allstate maintained
that an attorney-fee award is not
covered under its policy because
attorney fees are not “damages
because of bodily injury,” as required by the policy, but rather
are awarded as a result of punitive damages.
Writing for the majority, Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger pointed out that “although,
in this case, attorney fees were
awarded as a result of an award
of punitive damages, they also
stem from the underlying bodily injury. The language of the
policy does not limit coverage
to damages solely because of
bodily injury.”
Attorney fees may
therefore fall under the insurance policy’s general coverage
of “damages which an insured
person is legally obligated to
pay” because of “bodily injury.”
The next question:
Did the policy specifically exclude payment of attorney fees?
Allstate argued that it did. But
an insurer who claims that a
policy exclusion prohibits insurance coverage must show
that the exclusion specifically
applies. Exclusions of coverage
must be clear and unambiguous
to be enforceable.
The policy excludes
“punitive or exemplary damages, fines or penalties.”The
attorney fees were granted as
a result of punitive damages
awarded by the jury upon a
finding of malice – presumably based upon a finding that
Lahman was driving while intoxicated and fleeing the scene
of a previous collision. Thus,
Allstate argued that the policy
specifically excludes attorney
fees under the punitive- or exemplary-damages exclusion.
But the exclusion
doesn’t refer in any way to attorney fees or expenses. “It specificallymentionsonlypunitive
or exemplary damages” Justice
Lanzinger wrote, “which, as we
have discussed, are conceptually distinct from attorney fees.
Therefore, the term ‘punitive or
exemplary damages’ does not
clearly and unambiguously encompass an award of attorney
fees.”
Allstate also argued
that it would be against Ohio’s
public policy for an insurer to
pay attorney fees when those
fees are awarded solely as a
result of a punitive-damages
award. It’s true that public policy prevents insurance contracts
from insuring against claims for
punitive damages based upon
an insured’s malicious conduct.
And state law prohibits insurance coverage of punitive damages. But that law mentions
only punitive damages, not
attorney fees. The Ohio legis-
lature chose not to mention attorney fees when it drafted the law,
and we declined to add them.
By a four-to-two vote
weaffirmedthecourtofappeals
and held that attorney fees are
distinct from punitive damages,
and public policy doesn’t prevent
an insurance company from covering attorney fees on behalf of
an insured when they are awarded
solely as a result of an award for
punitive damages.

lawyer, even if the crime is
only a misdemeanor?
A: While our system
of justice is set up to consider
an accused person “innocent
until proven guilty,” an accused person is up against experienced, government-funded
prosecutors and inexperienced
jurors.
Most accused people
will benefit a great deal in
mounting an adequate defense
with help from a defense lawyer.
Ideally, good criminal defense lawyers will fight
for their clients because of a
committed belief that defending the accused’s constitutional rights will hold the prosecutor to the requirement that,
in working to secure a conviction, he or she must prove
every part of the case against
the accused person, no matter
what the charge is.
When constitutional
rights are upheld, the result is
more likely to be just.
Q: What happens if
an accused person cannot afford a criminal defense lawyer?
A: Our justice system
provides that a person charged
with a criminal offense that
could result in a jail term is
entitled to be represented by a
defense lawyer. The state pays
for a “public defender” to represent the accused person in
such a case.

Weekly Wealth For Your Health
Are your kids ready for a cell phone
By JASON ALDERMAN
If your preteen child
hasn’t hit you up yet for a cell
phone, you’re among a rare
breed indeed. Studies have
found that roughly 70 percent of
11- to 14-year-olds now use cell
phones. Closer to home, our 10year-old has been hounding my
wife and me for months to get
his own phone.
My initial reaction
was, “no way.” But upon investigation, I see why many parents eventually give in. Here are
a few pros and cons for giving
your preteen a phone, and some
safeguards you can take:
Safety. Anyone who’s
ever had a flat tire or gotten
lost can attest to cell phones’
safety advantages. On the flip
side, unless you install parental
controls, your child could access inappropriate content or be
more vulnerable to bullying and
predatory behavior.
Expense. Cell phone
use, including calls, text messaging, web browsing and application downloads, can be
wildly expensive. You have two

treatment, and rehabilitation
programs tailored to the client’s specific needs, which
may help the client avoid future brushes with the criminal
justice system.
Counsel the client
about the way criminal laws
will likely be applied, which
canbedifficultforalayperson to assess, especially since
criminal laws have been interpreted in different ways by
federal and state courts.
Help to familiarize the client with local court
customs and bring knowledge
about the process that isn’t
written down (for example,
a defense lawyer may know
which prosecutor has the
“real” authority to settle a
case, and what kinds of arguments are likely to appeal to a
particular prosecutor).
Gather information
from prosecution witnesses,
who may fear providing information directly to someone
accused of a crime, and may
be much more likely to speak
to a lawyer than to an accused
person attempting to represent
himself/herself.
Q: What does the
criminal defense lawyer do to
help the accused person once
all the information has been
gathered?
A: Before the trial
starts, and sometimes during
a trial, the case can “settle.”
This happens through negotiations with the prosecutor, who
may offer a “plea bargain”
that could result in reduced
charges or a recommendation
of a lesser sentence.
Generally, it is in the
accused person’s best interest
to discuss a prosecutor’s plea
offer with a defense lawyer
before deciding to accept or
reject the offer.
A defense lawyer
can also help in proposing an
alternative to the prosecutor.

Plans vary widely in terms of
fees and per-minute calling
and text rates. Advantages:
No locked-in service contract;
know exactly how many minutes they’re using. Disadvantages: Parental controls usually don’t apply; phones more
expensive than under a service
contract plan.
Family plan – sometimes it’s cheaper to add a
phone to your existing plan.
Some plans allow unlimited
calls/texts between friends and
family or those using the same
carrier. Advantages: Generally
cheaper if your kids make lots
of calls/texts; most allow parental controls.
Disadvantages: Parental controls may cost extra;
some plans don’t allow usage
caps, so undisciplined kids
may rack up large bills; tied to
service contract.
Parental
controls.
One of the best ways to protect your kids is to subscribe to
your carrier’s parental controls
plan. Plan features vary widely, but look for these when
comparison shopping:
Cost (free to $4.99 a
month); ability to cap phone
minutes and text messages;
allow emergency calls, even
if over monthly usage allowance; cap and/or block entertainment downloads (costly/
inappropriate ringtones, music,
video, etc.); block mature content websites from Internetenabled phones; strict time-ofday usage (e.g., block during
school hours or after bedtime);
blockcalls/textsfromspecific
or unknown numbers (helps
prevent stalking, bullying and
inappropriate contact); track
your child’s physical location
(requires GPS-enabled phone
and typically costs $5 to $10 a
month).
Parental control programs generally are not available with prepaid plans. And,
since no filtering tool is completely foolproof, it’s important
to regularly discuss safety issues with your kids. Make sure
they’re comfortable coming to
you with any questions or details of inappropriate contact
they’ve received.
Not every child is
ready for cell phone responsibilities. Set ground rules and be
prepared to withhold privileges
if they cross boundaries, such
as not abiding school regulations, exceeding curfews or usage limits, using to bully others,
repeatedly losing or damaging
the phone, etc. And make sure
they kick in part of their allowance to help pay.
With my son, it’s not
a question of “if” but instead of
“when.” And when the time is
right, he’ll bear the costs of the
handset and adding a line to our
family plan.
This of course will allow him to hound me remotely
for the latest must-have item.

Cavs putting up good fight at home, but still loose
By KARL BRYANT
The Cavs returned
home after a disastrous road trip
that saw them go 0-5, get clobbered in almost every game, and
even set a record in futility that
got a former star to stick his foot
in his mouth with a nonsensical comment again. Back home,
they put up a good fight against
the Suns and then the Nuggets,
with a brief road trip (and a nearwin in N.J.) intervening, but the
end result was still more losses.
The Suns jumped out
to a quick eight-point 1st quarter
lead. However the Cavs came
back to play them 50-50 the rest
of the way, and actually cut the
lead to three in the 4th quarter,
as Phoenix scored only one point
during the first five minutes of
the stanza.
A fine defensive effort almost pulled this one out,
but the Cavs just couldn’t make
many shots fall in the final 6:47.
Due to Anderson Varejao being
out for the year and injuries to
four other players, the Cavs had
only eight warm bodies and had
to be tired at the end.
With Cleveland desperately trying to get the ball
back down the stretch, they
fouled the Suns’ Steve Nash,
who is money in the bank at the
Charity Stripe. The playmaking
guard, who had 15 points and 15
assists, made five of five from the
foul line to pass, for the time being, former Cavaliers’ star Mark
Price as the NBA’s all-time free
throw percentage leader. Since
Nash is still playing, that percentage could go up or (more
likely) down. It just goes to show
what a clutch player Price was,
with ice in his veins amid howling crowds, calmly sinking foul
shots. Nash’s work ethic for FTs
must rub off on the Suns, as they
hit 20 of 21.
Grant Hill, who is trying to overcome Father Time
over his last three games, had
27 points and 12 rebounds to
lead the Suns. “Sometimes when
you’re around long enough,
you have games like this,” Hill
said. He had played sparingly two points in a cameo against
Cleveland in Phoenix 10 days
before - for a week before coming back and notching three 20point games in a row. He joked,
“Maybe if there’s a lockout or if
I play in Europe , I can play once
a week and I might be able to excel over there” Hil said.
Hill and others also
commented on the Cavs making
the game “uncomfortable.” The
Cavs have lost to Phoenix twice
by eight points, so perhaps even
with eight players, they match up
reasonably well with the Suns.
The Cavs were led
by Antawn Jamison’s 23 points
with Ramon Sessions contributing 19.
“After all those games
when we were behind by 20 or
30 or whatever, when you looked
up and we were only down by a
few with a chance to win - that
felt really good. You know,
we’re going to be able to build
on this effort today and it’ll help
us in the next games we play,”
Sessions said.
In the following home
game, the Cavs, this time nondefensive minded, fell behind
Denver 70-50 at the half, but put
on a great 2nd half comeback.
They cut the lead to six a couple
of times in the 4th quarter, but
aided by some curious officials’
calls, the Nuggets didn’t let them
get any closer.
The final 117-103
score was actually closer than
that. Old Friend and current
Denver Coach George Karl had
some empathy for the team he
formerly coached. “I feel sorry
for them, but they’re going to
win again. They’ll have a stretch
where they get their confidence
going and they’ll win some
games,” Karl said.
J.J. Hickson, 10 of 12
from the field with 24 points and
14 boards, wished he could have
done more. “I was in a rhythm.
When you play so many games,
there’re days you don’t and days
you do have rhythm. When you
do, you go with it,” Hickson
said.
The loss was their 19
straight, tying the Cavs all-time
record. In these two home losses,
fans have just swallowed their
pre-bought tickets, as there were
many empty seats.
Fans not only want to
be entertained, they want their
team to have a reasonable chance
to win. But, putting up a fight like
the Cavs did in these two games
will bring the fans back into the
arena.
By the way, remember
that after the Cavs infamous record-setting 55-point loss to the
Lakers, a certain former Cavs
forward sent a bad mouth Tweet
about some “Karma” BS?
Well, it seems that
“Karma” came back to bite the
Tweeter in the behind as not only
three years,” Holmgren said.
His dislike of the
search process certainly figured
into keeping Mangini after he
and Heckert came on board last
year, despite their differences in
offensive philosophy. But, a year
after winning the last four games
of the year, the team lost the last
four games, so Mangini is history. Gone also are Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll and Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan,
who certainly saw the writing on
the wall.
Daboll has ‘taken his
talents to South Beach’ to try to
improve the Miami Dolphins’ at-
tack and Ryan is headed to Dallas, where it’s no longer been a
‘Doomsday Defense.’
Even Mangini, interviewed on TV, liked the hiring
of Shurmur, saying, “He’s a
very bright guy. He has a great
understand of football.” He believes Holmgren and Shurmur
will work well together, commenting, “He runs the traditional
West Coast system so it’s a good
fit with Mike,” Mangini said.
Shurmur comes with
a good coaching resume, as he
was the offensive coordinator of
the St. Louis Rams the last two
years, who came within one victory of taking the win-challenged
NFC West. He is credited with
improving a ragtag offense and
helping to develop Rookie QB
Sam Bradford. He previously
was QB coach under Holmgren
protégé, Andy Reid, in Philadelphia , where he also got to know
Heckert.
Colt McCoy, many believe, is another young talented
QB that he could improve with
proper mentoring.
“The goal is to win
the AFC North and compete in
the playoffs-We will make our
decisions based upon winning.I
think there are people in this organization that have a pedigree
in this profession that points to
winning, so I think that’s the key
piece,” Shurmur said.
He also indicated he
will utilize all aspects of the
organization in choosing his assistant coaches and in trying to
build the team. The Browns are
currently interviewing a cast of
coaching candidates to lead the
team on both sides of the ball.
Holmgren hopes Pat Shurmur is last coach
By KARL BRYANT
Browns President Mike
Holmgren, who with GM Tom
Heckert, flanked new coaching
hire, Pat Shurmur, said, “This is
the first head coach I ever hired.
I hope it’s the last head coach
I hire.” Holmgren had spoken about the intensive hiring
process after the firing of Eric
Mangini, and how he and his
“committee” started to narrow
the search down to 10 people and
finally whittled it to three, before
making the decision.

In a 111-105 loss to the Trail Blazers, the Cavs recently blazed a new, but
unwanted trail - losing their 24th straight game of the year - an NBA record. It was
close, the same as the previous night’s loss in Memphis, and the home game before
that. But it’s still an “L.” Despite the futility, it seems a certain former Cavs forward’s
learned his “Karma” lesson as there’s barely been a peep (or Tweet) from him. After
the loss, another former player, Old Friend Andre Miller said, “You don’t want to be
the top headline, ‘Streak Ends to Portland Trail Blazers.’ We had to work really hard
out there,” and then took the time to go and meet appreciative long-time Cavs fans.
The Cavs’ Daniel Gibson said, “Were putting in the work, we’re just not getting the
results.” When asked what fans that braved icy roads and stayed and cheered loudly
until the end meant to him, he said, “Everything. With what they’ve been through
and they’re still with us - that means everything. That’s what being a Cleveland fan,
a Clevelander, is all about.” Hopefully, their dedication will be rewarded soon with
a “W.”

did his team lose to LA’s lesser
team, the Clippers, but he injured an ankle and had to sit out
the following two games and the
Heat went on to lose 4-in-a-row.
Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade also incurred injuries.
Aided by a curiously favorable
schedule - playing one game in
seven days, thus allowing inju-
ries time to heal, Miami’s won 2
of 3, but the last one barely.
Replays show refs
failed to call a body block at the
buzzer in a controversial one

CSU, YSU get big wins in the Horizon League
By KARL BRYANT
Cleveland State men’s
Basketball team, took a 1 ½ game
lead in the Horizon League, after
beating 2nd place Valparaiso, 7665. The same day, Youngstown
State shocked 2009-10 national
runner-up Butler, 62-60. In the
Mid American Conference, Kent
State ’s just ½ game behind surprising MAC East leader Bowling Green.
CSU’s win moved
them to an eyebrow-raising 21-3.
The Vikings, leading the Horizon
at 10-2, almost ran Valparaiso off
the floor, as Norris Cole constantly pushed the ball down court.
But, Valpo kept coming back due
to CSU hitting only 65% of their
foul shots – big giveaways when
you get to the foul line a whopping 40 times.
But, as Valpo desperately fouled down the stretch,
CSU did hit eight FTs in the final 1:12 to put the game away.
This season, Valpo’s no slouch,
having just stunned Butler in OT,
85-79.
That win was their first
over Butler since the Clinton
Administration. CSU next plays
Butler, who beat them by 23 last
month.
Point guard Cole scored
25 points and, despite being only
6’ 2”, nabbed 11 rebounds. Describing how he knows when to
run, he said. “You gotta outrun
them and get them out of their
spots, and that’s what we tried to
do. If I don’t see anyone picking
me up at half court, I know I can
push it.” The Vikings were led by
Jeremy Montgomery’s 26 points
and the Crusaders by Howard
Little’s 17.
CSU had just blown
through the Windy City, beating Illinois-Chicago, 63-49, and
Loyola, 81-70. Cole’s 22 points
led CSU against UIC, who had
a surprising lead at halftime before running out of gas, and Tre
Harmon led them with 21 against
Loyola. Brad Birton scored 14
for UIC and Walt Gibler, 25 for
Loyola.
Youngstown
State
must match up well with Butler.
They only lost by 5 earlier this
year and their victory over them
was just their second league win.
YSU won despite an off game
by leading scorer, Vytas Sulskis,
who scored 6 points and despite
being their #2 rebounder, grabbing none. Damian Eargle picked
up the slack with 16 points, 9
boards, and 5 blocks.
He was born Richard Ihetu in his native Nigeria
in 1929. He died in Nigeria in
1971. In between, he established
himself as one of the best pound
for pound fighters of the 1960′s.
He was known to the boxing
world as Dick Tiger. It was a
very fitting moniker for the man
who was crowned world champion on three occasions.
Dick Tiger turned
professional in 1952 after a
brief amateur career. Within
three years he established himself as the best middleweight in
Nigeria.
It was off to England
in 1955 to try and broaden his
horizons. He lost his first four
fights on English soil. Hardly
the stuff of legends. Dick Tiger
would not be discouraged and
by mid-1956 he was starting to
put together some impressive
wins. He stopped future world
champion Terry Downes in
1957.
On March 27, 1958
Dick Tiger halted the popular
Les Mc Ateer in nine to win the
British Empire middleweight
title. Later in the year he lost to
the talented Spider Webb. Tiger
stepped it up in 1959 and met
Randy Sandy, Rory Calhoun
and Joey Giardello, two bouts
with each. He also fought Gene
Armstrong and Holly Mims.
Talk about stiff competition.
In 1960 he lost his
British Empire title to Wilf
Greaves but he would regain
it by the end of the year. That
started a seven fight win streak
that would lead to a shot at the
world’s title. Among his victims
were Gene Armstrong, Spider
Webb, Florentino Fernandez
and Henry Hank.
On October 23, 1962
Dick Tiger challenged the defending WBA middleweight
champion, the rugged Gene
Dick Tiger
Fullmer. They met in San Francisco and Dick Tiger won the
title by decision.
In Las Vegas on February 23, 1963, Dick Tiger met
Gene Fullmer in a rematch. They
fought to a draw after 15 rugged
rounds and Dick Tiger retained
his title. When the “other” champion Paul Pender retired, Dick
Tiger received full recognition as
undisputed middleweight champion.
Fullmer, on August
10, 1963, met Dick Tiger one
more time in an attempt to regain
his title. This time Dick Tiger
stopped Fullmer in seven rounds
in Nigeria.
In his very next fight
Dick Tiger lost the title to old
adversary Giardello. While waiting for a return match Dick Tiger
would defeat Jose Gonzalez and
Don Fullmer. He was then upset by the slick Joey Archer. He
came right back to defeat Rocky
Rivero and score a huge win over
Rubin “Hurricane” Carter.
Dick Tiger, on October 25, 1965, beat the classy Giardello to reclaim the crown. Six
months later Dick Tiger lost the
title to the one and only Emile
Griffith.
Dick Tiger decided to
move up to light heavyweight
and he was granted a shot at
the champion Jose Torres. The
Puerto Rican Torres was a fine
fighter. He was a well schooled
smooth boxer with power. Torres
and Dick Tiger met on December 16, 1966. Torres would box
but Dick Tiger kept boring in. It
was Dick Tiger’s relentless aggression that upset Torres to capture his second title in a different
weight class. They met again on
May 16, 1967, and it was almost
a carbon copy of their first fight.
Dick Tiger won another decision and retained his crown. Six
months later he would halt highly
regarded contender Roger Rouse
to retain the title.
In 1968 a lean, mean
punching machine named Bob
Foster was gunning for a title
shot. The proud champion Dick
Tiger gave it to him. Foster was
6’3” and had a terrific jab. What
he also had was terrifying power
in either hand. Dick Tiger tried
his best to get inside and work
on Foster’s lean rib cage but he
paid a heavy price every time he
tried. Finally in the fourth round
a devastating left hook from Foster put the champion flat on his
back. The ever game Dick Tiger
tried to rise but it was over. The
title reign of Dick Tiger was ended.
Five months later Dick
Tiger would meet Frankie DePaula in a barn burner. The crude
slugger DePaula surprised everyone by puttng Dick Tiger down
a few times in the early rounds.
Again Dig Tiger dug deep within
himself and rallied over second
half of the fight to pull out the
verdict.
Next up middleweight
champion Nino Benvenuti. It
was rumored that Benvenuti was
foolishly thinking of moving up
to challenge Foster. Dick Tiger
drove those thoughts out of his
head by winning a convincing
decision. There were rumors that
Dick Tiger was offered a crack at
Foster and his old title but he
supposedly declined.
Dick Tiger would
next out fight the tough as nails
Andy Kendall. At this point
Dick Tiger was still the second
best light heavyweight in the
world.
On July 15, 1970,
the aging Dick Tiger would
meet his old nemesis Griffith.
For whatever reasons Dick Tiger just could not fathom Griffith’s style. This would be Dick
Tiger’s last boxing match. He
would have a much tougher future foe.
Dick Tiger lost his
final fight to the dreaded disease, cancer. He died on December 14, 1971. Thirty five
years have passed since his
tragic death. Today he has been
somewhat forgotten. With no
disrespect, Dick Tiger would
have been able to hold his
own with anyone from 160 to
175 today. He was extremely
strong. He was always in top
condition. He was a tenacious
fighter who would just wear an
opponent down. Most of all he
was durable.
In 81 fights he was
stopped once, by Bob Foster.
No shame there as Foster is
considered as one of the hardest punchers of all time. Here
are some of the top quality boxers that Dick Tiger met in his
outstanding career: Champions
- Emile Griffith, Nino Benvenuti, Jose Torres, Bob Foster,
Joey Giardello, Gene Fullmer
and Terry Downes; Contenders - Andy Kendall, Frankie
DePaula, Roger Rouse, Jose
Gonzalez, Rubin Carter, Joey
Archer, Don Fullmer, Florentino Fernandez, Spider Webb,
Henry Hank, Gene Armstrong,
Yolande Pompey, Randy Sandy, Holly Mims Wilf Greaves
and Rory Calhoun.

Meet the 4th Annual Cleveland Blues Festival
stars:
Bobby “Blue” Bland,
a Rosemark, Tennessee native
began his career locally, singing with gospel groups and
frequenting the city’s famous
Beale Street where he became
associated with a group of
ambitious aspiring musicians
named, not unnaturally, the
Beale Streeters. As his solo
Bland
music career took off in the 50’s,
Bland climbed the charts with
big-band blues singles, including
“Farther Up the Road” (1957)
and “Little Boy Blue” (1958)
which reached the US R & B Top
10. But Bland’s unique voice was
most clearly exhibited on a series
of 1960 releases including “Cry,
Cry, Cry,” “I Pity the Fool,” and
“Turn On Your Love Light,”
which became a much-covered
standard. He was unducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
and Museum in 1992.
Denise LaSalle, a native of Belzoni, Mississippi,

Just
Jazz
By NANCY ANN LEE
Eddie Jefferson
Singer-lyricist Eddie
Jefferson created in the late
1940s the style that came to
be calle jazz vocalese.
Upon hearing saxophonist James Moody's version of Coleman Hawkins'
"Body and Soul", Jefferson
wrote lyrics to the tune which
has become the jazz standard
"Moody's Mood for Love".
He inspired later
vocalese groups such as Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.
Jefferson was born in
Pittsburgh in August, 1918.
His early career was
guided by his father who was
in show business.
Jefferson and his
brother Charlie, formed a song
and dance act, the Candy Kids,
heard on local radio for several years. His first recordings
were made in 1952-53.
Until 1962, Jefferson
worked with James Moody,
whom he rejoined in 1969.
In 1976, he formed
a partnership with saxman
Richie Cole that lasted until
his murder in Detroit in May
1979.
Jefferson was a master lyricist who created profound, funny and joyful lyrics.
He combined elements of jive
talk, slang, musical diction,
story-telling and rhythm into
musical poetry.
In his gravely voice,
he precisely delivered brisk
bop lines with passionate
power, breaking boundaries
of American song.
Carter
Aretha Franklin, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, and Bobby Womack, among many others.
In 1998, Taylor was
voted Entertainer of the Year by
the Chicago Blues Society. Following the passing of his father,
the musical torch was handed
to Floyd who joined Malaco
Records 17 years after Johnny
began with them.
His 2002 release, appropriately titled Legacy pays
tribute to his father in each note
as his voice sounds practically
identical to his father’s.
Sir Charles Jones,
the Ohio-born, Alabama raised
“King of Southern Soul” is a
self-taught writer, arranger,
producer and engineer that has
embraced a genuine passion for
music, ranging from jazz to fusion; Gospel to blues.
In his early career,
Sir Charles Jones worked under the guidance of Marvin
Sease, and throughout his career has won countless awards
including the American Blues
Network’s International Entertainer of The Year from 20012004; two-time recipient of Album of the Year (2002-2003);
and two-time recipient for the
B.B. King Achievement Award
(2003-2004).
Sir Charles Jones is
described to have “a versatile
style and wide range of vocal ability; with just a touch of
smooth rhythm melodic melo-
dies, and the cry of love, pain,
happiness, fun times, and the
sincerity of commitment”.
Theodis Ealey is truly
multi-talented; having accomplishments as a Blues guitarist,
vocalist, songwriter, producer,
and above all, entertainer.
Ealey would earn industry recognition for his innovative style and authentic
Mississippi flavor when he was
the recipient of the 1997 Mo'
Better Blues Male Artist of the
Year Award and 1994 Male Vocalist Top Star Award. He has
had six critically successful
Blues albums and also crossed
music genres and performed as
a featured vocalist with HipHop Group Ghetto Mafia "On
Da Grind", further expanding
his fan base. His electrifying
stage performances also opened
doors to Hollywood while he
appeared in the NBC Movie
of the Week "A Kiss To Die
For," the Emmy-winning HBO
special "Miss Evers' Boys,"
the major motion picture "The
Fighting Temptations," and as
well as nationally-run commercials.
His latest album
"Stand Up In It" was a runaway
success as the #1 Single on
Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip Hop
Singles Sales Chart for five consecutive weeks, and debuted as
#5 on Billboard's Blues Album
Chart.
Clarence Carter, a
blues artist who was blind from
birth, was raised in Montgomery , Alabama where he taught
himself to play the guitar. His
solo career took off in 1967
with the release of "Slip Away"
and "Too Weak to Fight," which
reached #6 and #13 on the pop
charts, respectively.
His
best-selling
1970s single “Patches” reached
#2 in the U.S. and was nominated for a Grammy in 1972;
the disc sold over one million
copies and received a gold disc
awarded by the R.I.A.A. In the
80s and 90s Carter’s strong
soul sound found an audience
with the hip-hop community.

Black History Month
Ohio
Republican Party Chairman Kevin
DeWine issued the following statement today celebrating February as Black
History Month:
“This
month
serves as an important reminder to Republicans that
our party must work every
day to achieve diversity.
Our conservative principles
are shared by many in the
African American community, but we need to do
more to transform those
common values into partisan affiliation. Ohio Republicans have worked hard
to advance opportunity and
diversity in public service,
becoming the first party to
elect an African American
county sheriff, county commissioner, state legislator,
statewide executive, state
supreme court justice, and
lieutenant governor.”
