the region was just one of only two that had an in-crease in gasoline stocks. According to the latest Energy Information Ad-ministration (EIA) data, stocks built by nearly 1 million barrels to a total of 51 million, while re-gional refinery utilization held steady at 92%. The region is like-ly to see gas prices remain mostly stable or trend cheaper, except for the typical volatility seen in some states.

The average price for gasoline across North-east Ohio is seven cents cheaper this week at $2.504 per gallon, accord-ing to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report. On the week, most states in the Great Lakes and Central region saw gas prices drop or remain the same. Michigan (+6 cents), Ohio (+2 cents) Illinois (+3 cents), and Kentucky (+1 cent) were the only outliers. Across the nation,

A group of concerned residents, merchants, and neighbors of Shaker Square met at Fairhill Partners, 12200 Fairhill Road, last Saturday to SOS -Save Our Square. The meeting was facili-tated by James Callihan, who was a bit under the weather, so that Marita Kavalec, wearing a cool notorious rbg shirt, assisted by passing around the microphone. Attorney John Lawson, opened the meeting by giving some historical perspective on Square Square and providing information about how detrimental the proposed

development with street closures had been in other cities.According to his research, there was a 89% failure rate. Brandon Chrostowski, of EDWINS leadership and Restaurant Institute, suggested several alterna-tives to the unpopular idea of closing Shaker Blvd such as putting in place barriers which could be erected when there was an event at the Square. He also read from a letter for a resident who could not be at the meeting. A longtime resident, ex-pressed her concern for emergency vehicles not being able to navigate the circle. She felt that without Shak-er Blvd. being open in the event of an emergency, residents and business

would be in danger. Cormere Ave. resident wor-ried about traffic being diverted to his side street. He felt it was a safety issue that had not been addressed. An Shaker resident attendee who said that he works for a CDC said that the developers had done a lot of work on the project. He felt that not ev-erything was etched in stone so there was room to hear residents concerns. Another resident talked about the beloved North Union Farmers Market. He said that the space the de-

velopers set aside for the market was unrealistic. Most agreed that the chages were not in line with the needs of the market or its cus-tomers. A young man said that he lives on E. 130th Street and works at the market. He said that he was not in favor of closing Shaker Blvd. He too echoed concerns for traffic cutting through his street. Attendees seemed baf-fles as to how despite residents, merchants, customers, and neigh-bors being opposed to the clos-

ing of Shaker Blvd., that the outside developers were seemingly pushing their own agenda. It was reminiscent of the fight to save the Shaker Lakes from being paved over by developers in the 1960s. While another elderly resi-dent who said he lived on Ardoon Ave. began to speak about his con-cerns about how the cut through traf-fic would affect his street on which many young families with children had moved-- -Linda Warren, Senior Vice President of Neighborhood Progress, sat a few seats away. -Rath-

er than listening to his concerns, she was busily tweeting counter argu-ments to the residents concerns: “How can they do *that* and not screw up @Shaker_Square? Shaker Boulevard? The world?”If you’ve heard (or asked) this ques-tion, please consult the resources tab at http://www.thisisshsq.com where annotated traffic analysis (and raw data) is now posted!” The next meeting is on Saturday, October 26 at 2:00 p.m. at Fairhill Partners,

Beloved longtime Buckeye businessman dies Services for beloved longtime Buckeye business-man, Larry F. Manno, 74, were held on Wednesday at Our Lady of Peace, 12601 Shaker Blvd. Calling hours were Tuesday at Fioritto Funeral Home in Lynd-hurst. On Wednesday night, friends, neighbors, and commu-nity activists held a vigil at Man-no Landscaping, 12808 Buck-eye Road, to honor Manno and to seek justice for his senseless murder. Those in attendance in-cluded Father Gary Chmura, pas-tor of Our Lady of Peace Church who officiated Manno’s service; Susan Sevcik, his longtime office manager, who found the badly beaten Manno and called 911; his brother-in-law, Robert Allen; Peace in the Hood CEO, Kha-lid Samad; Community Avtivist Art McCoy; Councilman Blaine Griffin; Rev. Ian Cox; Dorothy Johnson, Chloe Hopson, Ali Boyd, Julian Khan, Heide Rivc-hun, Bob Render, and Mike Zuc-cara. The East 128th Block Club Association sponsored the vigil. Seveik, worked for Manno more than 30 years,

found him badly beaten and lying on the office floor as his attacker ran away on September 16. The attack left Manno with broken ribs, several head injuries and punctured lungs. He was in criti-cal condition, and subsequently died as a result of the beating. Po-lice are asking anyone with infor-mation to contact them. Manno is survived by his wife of 44 years, Patti, daughters Jacquelyn Alley, Stephanie Rini, Kristen Reese and grandchildren Joey, Madelynn, Austin, Ryan, Emily and Sophia.

Resident say that they did not ask for a parking lot for employees of Neighborhood Progress/ Village. According to residents, the huge cemented mountain of weeds is an eyesore.

“Do you know this song?” said one resident who was nervous about giving her name sang: “Don’t it always seem to

goThat you don’t know what you’ve

gotTill it’s gone

They paved paradiseAnd they put up a parking lot!”

That’s just what they did, she continued, “They put up a park-ing lot.” (Big Yellow Taxi) With the threat of develop-ment for the past decade, residents wanted Britt Oval to remain a green space. In 2004, 22 homes were built in the area. Following that initial investment, years went by as the neighborhood deteriorated. In 2016, neighborhood

Neighborhood Progress breaks promises to its neighbors

Residents call the artwork above, ‘The Gallows.’ Recently, one resi-dent read the sign “Improper use of play equipment can result in injury. Use at your own risk.”

Besides a dumping ground for dirt, the surrounding lots have been used by Neighborhood Progress as a dumping ground forthe benches and play equipment built by children in the neighborhood in 2015.

children through the Boys and Girls Club took on Britt Oval, and built colorful benches and picnic tables for the residents. Habitat For Humanity came into the area in 2016 and renovated several homes. With all this activity in their backyard, Neighbor-hood Progress announced in October 2016 that they were building 79 new homes and that they would make Britt Oval the “gem of the neigh-borhood” with a $250,000.00 grant from the Ohio State Op-erating Budget. The 79 new homes were never built. Instead, Neighbor-hood Progress held a series of ‘town hall’ meetings so that the

Neigbors envisioned a green space with picnic tables and maybe a gazebo because 79 homes were to be built around it. Those homes were never built.

residents could give their input in the development of Britt Oval. According to the resi-dents, all of their input was ig-nored by Neighborhood Progress. “Do you think we want-ed a paking lot? asked one resi-dent. Residents have been complaining about Neighbor-hood Progress’s ‘beautification’ of Britt Oval. The benches and pic-nic tables the children built were tossed into an empty lot. Another resident on E.114th called Neighborhood Progress many times to complain about the mountain of dirt that the organization piled up in the lot

next to his house. After numer-ous complaints, the mountain of dirt was reduced by half so that he could see out of his second story window. Parents have told their children not to play on the play equipment as it seems danger-ous. According to residents, the cemented mountain of weeds is an eyesore and a safety issue as at night there is little lighting for people walking around Britt Oval to get home from the rapid. Of the 0.811 acres, more than 72% of the green space has been lost.Neighbors said it they could undo the damage -they would.

The Shaker Lakes were threatened in the 1960s by the construction of I-290 (the Clark Freeway), but the highway was never built.

One of the three times that Shaker Square is closed is for the annual Garlic Festival which is a fundraiser for the North Union Farmers Market.

“GUILTY UN-TIL PROVEN GUILTY” spent two years investi-gating Louisiana’s racial-ly biased criminal justice system. Why did ex-ecutives at PBS national headquarters refuse to recommend the film after giving it their “enthusias-tic support?” Why did the PBS affiliate in New Or-leans conclude that the film, “does not represent PBS objectives”? Why did they call it “not a proper fit for our audi-ence” when New Orleans is 59% black? Why did Louisi-

ana Public Broadcasting call it “one-sided” when the hour gave more air time to the New Orleans DA than any other ex-pert? It’s important to find out what’s really be-hind these decisions. Is PBS afraid of offending its southern af-filiates? Are they wor-ried that a national release of the docu-mentary would rub its conservative supporters and funders the wrong way? “GUILTY UN-TIL PROVEN GUILTY,” which the LA DOC Film

Prison documentary banned

More and more evidence mounting that proves McFarland’s innocence Cleveland is facing a crisis of justice in the Shelia McFarland case - a mother of six and grandmother who is incarcerated for life for a murder she did not com-mit. C u y a h o g a County Prosecutor Max-well M. Martin and Pros-ecutor Anna Faraglia charged McFarland with being both involved in drugs and in a conspiracy with four other people to commit murder . Of the four people involved in the alleged conspiracy, only one, Ryan Motley, 20, testified in the case. Motley testified that McFarland had noth-ing to do with the crime. He told the court that the prosecutor’s office had him take a polygraph exam which would con-firm that McFarland was not involved, but at trial, the prosecutors claimed to have ‘forgotten’ about giving Motley the exam. They did not introduce the exam results into evi-dence. Without the al-leged co-conspirators connecting McFarland to the conspiracy, pros-ecutors called Euclid narcotics detectives to the stand. The detectives were to testify about the three drug cases that Mc-

Farland was allegedly involved in prior to the murder. Under oath, the detectives said that Mc-Farland was not present at the first controlled buy. McFarland was not present at the second controlled buy. In the third drug buy, McFarland was seen with a group talking to friends in a parking lot. When McFarland was picked up by her friend to go home, the Euclid police followed the truck and arrested them on drug charges. McFarland was straight released for lack of evidence. The de-tectives; however, took her friend’s Durango and more than $2,000.00 that he had recently been awarded in an insurance settlement. There was no evidence that McFarland was involved with drugs. To bolster the case against McFar-land, prosecutors called Dwayne Jackson to tes-tify against McFarland. Jackson ‘Duke’ had been arrested by Eu-clid police on September 24, 2015 for selling crack cocaine from the laundry room of the same build-ing in which the murder took place. On October 13 and October 22, and No-

vember 6, 2015, Euclid police arrested Jackson for selling cocaine in the building. Jackson was ar-rested the day before the murder and charged with the September drug bust

.Police confiscated a car, scale, drugs, money, and five guns and ammuni-tion. He plead and faced years in prison. Maxwell had Jackson testify against McFarland. Jackson tes-

tified that McFarland and her friend were the drug dealers in the building, not him. One month later after McFarland was sentenced to life in prison, Maxwell, stood

with Jackson before a Michael Shaughnessy while the judge read a testimonial of how help-ful Jackson’s testimony had been in finding Mc-Farland guilty. Conse-quently, Jackson was re-

leased from prison having served a fraction of his sentence. M e a n w h i l e , McFarland awaits justice from the Ohio Supreme Court who will hear her case this December.

Civil rights ac-tivists from Black Lives Matter to Black on Black Crime, Inc. have been fighting to free McFar-land. He family has held vigils and the community is praying for justice .

Festival was named “Best Documentary.” Guilty Until Proven Guilty explores Louisiana’s criminal jus-tice system through the story of Tim Conerly, a young African-American man who was arrested in the wake of an armed robbery in New Orleans and waited 28 months for a trial for a crime he says he did not commit. After more than two years in the Orleans Parish Jail, Conerly must choose between accept-ing a plea bargain of seven years or risking a sentence of 49½ to 198 years if he is convicted at trial.

New research shows discrimination and segregation con-tinue to plague Ohio and other Midwestern states. According to the report “Race in the Heartland,” while more black Americans live in the 12-state Midwest-ern region than in other regions, equity metrics here are worse than in other states. Report author Colin Gordon, profes-sor of history at the University of Iowa, explained much of the problem stems from the industrial boom, when many African-Americans sought job opportunities in the Midwest. He said they found what he called an ‘architecture of seg-regation.’ “Because Af-rican-Americans fled into the Midwest for largely unionized man-ufacturing jobs, the collapse of that manu-

facturing job base, and the unions that accom-panied it, does enor-mous damage,” Gor-don said. “Jobs move out to the suburbs, but the people who used to hold those jobs are quite literally stuck in place.” Some 12% of Ohio residents are black, and the report said they struggle in multiple areas - in-cluding poverty, infant mortality, incarcera-tion, home ownership, education level and wealth accumulation. Gordon said in some respects, Ohio is ‘ground zero’ for these trends, because the Af-rican-American popu-lation has historically been concentrated in urban, industrial set-tings. “Many of those urban, industrial settings - smaller cities like Toledo and Dayton - have suffered much greater decline than the bigger metropolises,” he said. “Unemploy-ment is much higher,

residential segregation is much starker, op-portunities are much thinner, the schools are struggling much more. It’s a magnified version of the general problem.” Kalitha Wil-liams is project direc-tor with Policy Matters Ohio, which co-re-leased the report. She said the policies that created these dispari-ties can be dismantled. “We need to take a racial-equity lens to all of our pub-lic policy and practices to ensure that we’re not repeating past his-torical discrimination, and ensure that as we move forward with policies and practices, that they’re inclusive,” Williams said. The report said solutions should focus on where they can do the most good, and include policies to improve schools, jobs, safety nets, neighbor-hoods, and families’ financial security.

I was tootling along one day last week, quite fo-cused on getting my business for the day done. In fact, I was feeling good about the progress I was making with my “to-do list.” Nothing is more satisfying to me than the sense of being in control of my schedule. I love check-ing off items on my “to-do list.”As the scheme of things usu-ally develops with me, this euphoric situation was not long-lived. It was left to the Gracious Mistress of the Par-sonage to bring a sense of re-ality into my life. “Haven’t you for-gotten something?” She asked me. This question drove me back to my daily planner. Frantically, I searched my schedule to see what appoint-ment I had missed or what project I had overlooked this time. With all due respect to her, I could not find any-where in my schedule, or on my calendar, where I had missed anything. “No,” I cautiously said to her. “I seem to have covered everything.” With that, I flashed a confident smile in her direction. She caught that smile and returned a menac-ing glance in my immediate direction. I caught her drift, which clearly undermined my previous confidence in my schedule. “Don’t you recall,” my wife almost sneered, “your New Year’s resolu-tion?” This sent me into a mild panic. New Year’s reso-lutions, as everybody except my wife knows, are not to be taken seriously. People make such resolutions only because it’s the thing to do at the time.

What a person says on New Year’s Eve should have no bearing whatsoever with the coming New Year. Looking at her with all the seriousness I could muster at the time I said, “I really don’t know what you mean.” At the time, I thought she mistook my seri-ousness for what she likes to call “my flippancy.”“I think you know exactly what I mean,” she demanded. Seeing the blank ex-pression on my face, or more blank than usual, she began to realize I had no idea what she was talking about. Plac-ing both hands on her hips, which is a warning sign to me of something ominous to follow, she stated her case. “One of your New Year’s resolutions was to take a day off each week. When was the last time you took a day off?” She demanded. Then it all started coming back to me. I did re-member such a resolution. But if I recall it accurately, someone, I’ll mention no names, backed me into a cor-ner forcing me into such a resolution. At the time, the res-olution was not the result of any serious contemplation on my part. I thought I was just placating her at the time. I never imagined months later she would be calling me on the carpet for it. “Well,” I stam-mered, “there was that week in February when I took sev-eral days off.” Then my smile returned to me along with a little bit of confidence. “You don’t mean those days you were sick in bed with a cold, do you? Tell me you’re not including those in the category of days off?” My smile along with

my confidence deserted me. No matter what any-body says, I do sometimes think of taking a day off. And people should get credit for some of their intentions. If, for example, I can’t actually take a day off, it should be enough to think about doing it. The only problem with this pitch is, my wife doesn’t buy it. Be-lieve me, if she was buying, I would give a good discount to her. “Okay,” I conced-ed. “I’ll take a day off next week.” I thought that would settle it and with any good luck by next week she will have forgotten this conversa-tion. This just points out one of the major differences between husbands and wives. When it comes to conversa-tions, wives have total recall of every conversation they have ever had. Of course, I don’t know if my wife has total recall on our conversations. There have been times when I thought she was making up what I said 13 years ago. I just had no way to prove it.“Why not take a day off this week?” she queried. “Let me think about it,” I tried stalling her, “and I’ll get back with you on the day.” “How about tomor-row? It’s a day,” she replied. Well, she had me there. Tomorrow was a day this week. My problem is I don’t like to make snap judg-ments on things affecting my schedule. Looking back on the conversation, I can see my mistake. I hesitated. In my many years as a husband, I have noted whenever I hesi-tated, my wife assumed it was a sign of agreeing with her proposal.“It’s settled then,” she said. “Tomorrow you will be tak-ing the day off.” This was an invita-tion I could not refuse. I love it when a plan comes togeth-er and I felt compelled to go along with the plan. The Bible offers a wonderful invitation. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30.) My advice is to take God up on his marvelous of-fer, today, not tomorrow. Call him at 1-866-552-2543 or e-mail james-snyder2@att.net. Visit www.jamessnyderministries.com.

Trump and his administration began with the Muslim ban and now targeting Islamic Studies The U.S Department of Education threatened to pull federal funding from a Middle East studies course jointly run by Duke University and the University of North Carolina because it portrays Islam too positively. The DOE ordered the universities to change their program or lose its federal grant money. In a letter to UNC, the department criti-cized the program, arguing that topics like Iranian art and film have “little or no relevance” to the Middle East studies program. The letter also argues that the program “appears

to lack balance” because its programs are not focused on the discrimination faced by “religious minorities in the Middle East,” including Christians and Jews. “There is a consider-able emphasis placed on the understanding the positive aspects of Islam, while there is an absolute absence of any similar focus on the positive aspects of Christianity, Juda-ism, or any other religion or belief system in the Middle East,” the letter said. “This lack of balance of perspectives is troubling and strongly sug-gests that Duke-UNC CMES is not meeting legal require-

ment that National Resource Centers ‘provide a full under-standing of the areas, regions, or countries.’” The letter appears to reflect the views of new department civil rights chief Kenneth Marcus, The New York Times reported. He has long been a pro-Israel advocate and “waged a years-long cam-paign to delegitimize and defund Middle East studies programs that he has criticized as rife with anti-Israel bias.” Palestinian rights groups condemned the letter and accused the Department of Education of trying to

intimidate schools into cur-riculums that are approved by the current administration. “They really want to send the message that if you want to criticize Israel, then the federal government is going to look very closely at your entire program and micromanage it to death,” Zoha Khalili, an attorney for Palestine Legal, told the Times, adding that the letter “sends a message to Middle Eastern studies programs that their continued existence depends on their willingness to toe the government line on Israel.” Henry Reichman, who chairs a committee on academic freedom at the American Association of Uni-

versity Professors, told the Associated Press that the gov-ernment intervention could set a dangerous precedent. “Is the government now going to judge fund-ing programs based on the opinions of instructors or the approach of each course?” he asked. “The odor of right wing political correctness that comes through this definitely could have a chilling effect.” Since Educat ion Secretary Betsy DeVos has taken over, the department has certainly moved far to the right. DeVos kicked off her 2019 “Back-to-School” tour earlier this week by visiting a Catholic school that prohibits trans people from attending

classes or working there and claims that gender-affirming medical care is “self-mutila-tion and therefore immoral.” DeVos has also used her position to help big cor-porations at the expense of students. Her department has created new rules that make it more difficult for federal student loan borrowers to seek debt relief in cases where col-leges defrauded them, and has rolled back Obama-era rules intended to protect students from abusive for-profit col-leges. This week, the de-partment admitted in a court filing that it violated a court order barring the collection of student loan payments by

borrowers defrauded by Co-rinthian Colleges, a for-profit institution whose programs DeVos herself described as “worthless.” The department ad-mitted to trying to collect debts from more than 16,000 student borrowers who had attended programs run by Corinthian Colleges. The department also admitted that hundreds of borrowers had their credit negatively affected by the prohibited efforts to collect and more than 1,800 had their wages or tax refund garnished. After violating the May court order, the depart-ment promised that it would be “sending such borrowers notices informing them that they will be receiving re-funds.”

Pledger named Ohio Adjunct Teacher of the Year The Ohio Associa-tion of Two-Year Colleges (OATYC) presented its 2019 Adjunct Teacher of the Year Award to Derrick A. Pledger, a business and economics instructor at Cuyahoga Com-munity College (Tri-C®). The honor recog-nizes teachers who inspire students; use innovative ap-proaches in the classroom; engage the community; and show leadership and a pas-sion for professional devel-opment. P l e d g e r b e g a n teaching at Tri-C’s Metro-politan Campus more than 20 years ago. His classes routinely fill given his repu-tation as a top educator, said Shunda Ware, associate dean of business, math and ap-plied technologies at Tri-C. (Ware nominated Pledger for the award.) “Dr. Pledger has a unique talent for bringing out the best in students by teaching them to find their own voices and accept their own learning styles,” Ware wrote in her nomination. “This breeds confidence and

supports persistence.” He has a knack for teaching students how to ap-ply business concepts to their academic, personal and pro-fessional lives, Ware wrote. Pledger is involved with Tri-C’s ThRIve program, which helps students launch their own business. Pledger’s lessons often reflect his philosophy of “turning obstacles into opportunities.” He earned a GED before enrolling in college and building an academic re-sume that includes a doctor-ate in special education and organizational leadership.

Outside of the Col-lege, he is a consultant with numerous school districts and delivers motivational programs through his com-pany, Advanced Concepts in Personal Development. The University Heights resi-dent has also authored four books.

It was No Contest, as Ohio State took com-mand early and coasted to a 34-10 win over Michigan State. In recent years, MSU has become somewhat of a nemesis for OSU, but this time around, the Buckeyes were able to roll over Spar-ty. The only thing that kept the game from being an-other 40-point effort by the Buckeyes was a bad offi-cial’s call on a non-block behind the play that took an OSU Pick Six by Jor-dan Fuller off the board in the 4th Quarter. One wag opined, “The refs probably have been told to not let the score get out of hand if the result is assured, so the Big Ten doesn’t get embarrassed by having one of their better teams get clobbered.” OSU had the ball taken back to its own 25 and was content to run the clock out then and in their final possession. Justin Fields threw for 206 yards and two TDs, with an interception. Two long scoring plays – a 60 YD TD Pass to Binjimen Victor and a 67 YD TD Run by J.K. Dobbins – blew the game open in the 2nd Quarter. Luke Farrell also caught a 21 YD TD Pass. OSU led 27-10 at the Half and coasted as they ran a lot

in the 2nd Half. Blake Hau-beil added two FGs. Fields scored on a short TD run in the final stanza to complete the scoring. Dobbins ran for 172 yards, Master Teague ran for 90, and Fields ran for 62 as the Buckeyes put togeth-er an impressive 323 yards rushing. MSU had a grand total of 67. With the Spar-tans running game stopped, MSU QB Brian Lewerke had to pass 38 times, com-pleting 20, with a TD and an INT. He was sacked four

times. Coach Ryan Day after-wards credited Dobbins 67-yard run for the play that got things rolling for the Buckeyes, saying, “I mean that was a Home Run hit right there that I think really changed the game. But up to that point we started to get it going a little bit, but that kind of shifted, and turned it into I think almost a 300-yard quarter. And anytime you can hit Home Runs like that in the run game, boy, it’s a huge one.”

Legra

Boxing NostalgiaBy JIM AMATO

He was a two time world champion and a per-renial contender for the feath-erweight title for more then a decade. In a 15 year career he amassed 150 fights. He won 134 of them. At one point in his career he reeled off more than 50 straight wins. Are these the credentials for a future Hall Of fame inductee ? Born in Cuba in 1943, Legra turned pro in 1960. Although active, most of his early fights took place in Cuba and Mexico. He made his first appearance in Spain in 1963. It is there that he decided to live and ply his trade. He was tall, lean and very fast. He would befuddle his opponents with his grace and boxing skills. He would emerge as a serious threat for world honors. In 1965 Legra took a big step up meeting future champion Howard Winstone of Wales. The vastly talented Winstone defeated young Jose during ten rounds. Legra would not lose again until 1969. Some 50 plus bouts later. On

Jose Legra should be in the Hall of Fame

his march to a title fight Legra would defeat the likes of Love Allotey, Rafiu King, Don John-son, Yves Desmarets (for the EBU title) and Joe Tetteh.This led to a 1968 title shot against the newly crowned WBC feath-erweight titleholder, Howard Winstone. The rugged Winstone had failed no less then three times to dethrone the great Vin-cente Saldivar. All three were great battles. Finally when Saldivar retired Winstone was matched with Japan’s worthy Mitsunori Seki for the WBC version of the vacated crown.

Winstone finally cashed in halt-ing the game Seki in round nine. Now it was Legra’s turn. It was sweet revenge for Jose as he dropped Winstone twice in the first round and damaged How-ard’s eye badly enough to force a stoppage in round five. Legra’s first tenure as champion would not last long. In 1969 after two non title vic-tories he was outscored by Aus-tralia’s under rated Johnny Fa-mechon. Six months later Jose would drop a ten round fight to the returning Vincente Saldivar. This set up Saldivar recapturing the crown by outpointing Fa-mechon in a great fight. Saldi-var would then be stopped by Japan’s Kuniaki Shibata in a major upset. In another upset Shibata would be flattened by Mexico’s Clemente Sanchez. Meanwhile Legra won the EBU title by defeating Jimmy Revie. Then in a shock-er he was taken out in four by Tahar Ben Hassen. Legra would rebound with EBU defenses against Giovanni Girgenti, Evan Armsrtong and gallent Tommy

Glencross. Legra then suffered a 1972 upset decison loss to Jona-than Dele. He added one more EBU defense against Daniel Vermandere and was set to face then WBC champion Sanchez. The champion Sanchez lost his title on the scales but since Legra made weight he made the most of his opportunity and won the crown a second time via a tenth round stoppage. In 1973, Legra lost his championship to the legendary Eder Jofre. Later that year he was stopped in one round by future legend Alexis Arguello. Legra finished his career with a 1975 verdict over Daniel Valdez. His record of 134-12-4 speaks for itself. He met some of the greatest featherweights of his era. Saldivar, Jofre, Fa-mechon, Winstone and Arguel-lo. He was a major player at 126 pounds for what seemed like forever. Yes- Considering some of the inductees that are enshrined in the IBHOF. I would vote for Legra in a heartbeat.

After a 10th round knockout during his fight with Charles Conwell of Cleveland, Patrick Day was removed from the ring by stretcher. He remains hospitalized and is in a coma.

Patrick Day was hospitalized and in “ex-tremely critical condition” Saturday night after he was knocked out by Charles Con-well in the 10th round of their USBA super welterweight title fight in Chicago. Day was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hos-pital and underwent emer-gency surgery. He lapsed into a coma and never regained consciousness. Conwell is from Cleveland, and is terribly upset and sadden by Day’s death. His promoter, Lou DiBella, announced Day’s death in a statement Wednes-day afternoon, saying the boxer was surrounded by his family, friends and members of his boxing team.

The statement read: “Patrick Day didn’t need to box. He came from a good family, he was smart, educat-ed, had good values and had other avenues available to him to earn a living. He chose to box, knowing the inherent risks that every fighter faces when he or she walks into a boxing ring. Boxing is what Pat loved to do. It’s how he inspired people and it was something that made him feel alive.” According to news reports of the fight, Day went down in the fourth and eighth rounds before being knocked unconscious by a left hook in the 10th. ESPN reported that Day suffered a seizure on the way to the hospital. Day, a native of Freeport, New York, was 17-

4-1 with six knockouts. He was a New York Golden Gloves winner in 2012 and made his professional debut the follow-ing year. News of Day’s hospi-talization left the Long Island boxing community in shock. “I’m sick over it,” Chris Algieri, a former WBO junior welterweight champion, told Newsday. “I’ve known Patrick since he was a teenage amateur training at the Free-port PAL. Patrick grew into a very disciplined and gritty pro-fessional. Whether in the gym or in the ring you could always expect 100 percent effort out of Pat ... and at the end of it all, a smile. One of the true nice guys in the sport who stood out as a consummate gentleman warrior.”

Branford Marsalis brings his magic back to ClevelandBy VINCE ROBINSON

After a long ab-sence from the Cleveland jazz scene, saxophonist Branford Marsalis re-turned to Cleveland, bring-ing his special brand of jazz to an Ohio Theatre audience. With assistance from pianist Joey Calde-razzo, bassist Eric Revis and able-bodied drummer Justin Faulkner, Marsa-lis proceeded to mix it up with a taste of several fla-vors. The quartet opened with Revis’ “Dance With the Evil Toys”, an open, frenetic, spirit-filled journey that an avant garde aficionado could appreci-ate immensely. After the song’s end, it was discov-ered that one of the keys in the piano was sticking.

But not to worry, a piece of duct tape from the drummer and moments later, he fixed it on the spot. After the dust settled from their first number, they shifted into Calderazzo’s mu-sic and musicality of a much

mellower nature. Marsalis observed from the back-ground, tuned in and appre-ciative. Backstage, he spoke of what he observes in some young musicians. They’re playing the music,

but seem to be detached from what their counter-parts are doing as they solo. Clearly not the case here. The music was a collective collaborate ef-fort, from Revis’ emotional bass to Faulkner’s animated technique to Calderazzo’s “Conversation Among the World”. Keeping with the theme of diversity, he fol-lowed with Andrew Hill’s “Snakehips Waltz” and a soprano saxophone that channeled a Wayne Shorter 3/4. In the midst of it all, Marsalis traded quips with a “young” lady on the front row who took the liberty of having a conver-sation with him. He was struggling to remember the name of a tune that came to him, but not quickly

enough for her. It was like two friends going at a bar. I nice bar, at that. The laughter was plentiful this evening. Marsalis seemed to have a knack for eliciting with his observations of life, his family (daughter attending nearby Oberlin College), fellow musicians and his completely engaged audi-ence. His jaunt to “The Sunny Side of the Street” took him and his crew back to 1930 to resurrect its aural bouquet in the 21st century, a fitting reward for those who struggled through the open opening tune with “out there” sensibilities. The the audience was rewarded with an en-core from a class act that had been away for far too long. Let’s hope he doesn’t stay gone for so long again.

'Skyscraper' is a action packed romantic thrillerC.M. APPLING

The role of the action movie hero began with the early days of Hollywood with actor Errol Flynn as the romantic, swashbuckling pirate in Captain Blood (1935) and as the legend-ary thief who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Later, in the 1950’s and ‘60’s, John Wayne (a.k.a. ‘The Duke), would emerge as the quintessential cowboy in a herd of western-inspired films. Then, in 1971, Rich-ard Roundtree broke the color barrier and starred as the too-cool, black detective John Shaft in Shaft. Also that same year, Clint Eastwood would begin his own, film franchise charac-ter as the tough-as-nails, street detective Harry Callahan in the ‘Dirty Harry’movie series. In the 1980’s, 90’s and 2000’s, various Hollywood actors would continue the leg-acy of the action hero such as muscle-bound stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, franchise celebrities like Harrison Ford, Bruce Wil-lis and Keanu Reeves, and Afri-can-American icons like Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes and Will Smith. However, after his motion-picture debut in The Mummy Returns (2001), former WWE pro-wrestler Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson would reign as the box-office king of the post-millennial generation as its premiere, action movie hero. And, as a man of color who is half-African-American and half-Samoan, he world break boundaries as a leading man in both action and come-dic films. And, in Skyscraper (2018), he once again proves his ability to captivate an audi-ence with his Schwarzenegger-like physique and charismatic persona. The movie starts 10 years ago when bronze-colored, black U.S. Marine War Veteran-turned-FBI Hostage Rescue Team soldier Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) loses his leg beneath his left knee when

Da 'Round Da Way Rewind Review

a distraught and suicidal man uses an explosive device to kill himself and his family in a hostage situation. When the semi-conscious Will is taken to the hospital, he meets the white, brunette doctor, Sarah (Neve Campbell) who helps save his life and who later becomes his wife. In the present, in Hong Kong, China, billionaire, Asian entrepreneur Zhao Long Ji (Ng Chin Hen) prepares his newest project, a 3,500 feet tall, 225 story high skyscraper called ‘The Pearl’ to be opened. The beautiful building is the tallest in the world and has a round sphere at the top that resembles an oyster pearl. The lower half is already open to the public but the upper half, which are condos to live in, is still closed. Using a prosthetic leg to replace his amputated limb, Will is hired to inspect the edifice while Sarah and their light-skinned, inter-racial, 8-year old twins, Georgia (McKenna Roberts) and Henry (Noah Cottrell) have moved in as the first family to occupy an apartment. Zhao gives Will a tab-let computer designed to access the building’s safety systems through his facial recognition. Zhao also shows Will the pent-house portion which includes a breathtaking, mirror reflection array. Terrorists led by Kores Botha (Roland Moller) break into The Pearl. Will’s ex-FBI partner, Ben Gillespie (Pablo Scheiber), betrays him by trying to steal Zhao’s tablet. Before hedies, Ben tells Will that his fam-ily is in danger. Botha’s men start a fire on the 96th floor where Will’s loved ones live. Botha’s female flunky, Xia (Hannah Quinivan), steals the tablet and activates it by using Will’s face before getting away. Xia’s gang kills everyone at the Offsite Facility which controls The Pearl. Will races to the building, on the run from the police, after the terrorists leak misinformation, making him the bad guy. As the city watches

in real time, Will makes a mi-raculous jumpfrom a construc-tion crane to an upper-level of the towering inferno. Zhao locks himself in the penthouse to escape Botha’s men. After he has been reunited with his family, Will sends Sarah and Henry down a safe elevator before leaving to rescue Geor-gia, who was separated from them. Botha takes Georgia away from Will, so Will gets into the penthouse to question Zhao about the terrorists’ mo-tivations. Zhao tells Will that Botha tried an extortion shakedown scheme through The Pearl’s construction crew. But, when Zhao recorded Bo-tha’s money laundering on a memory hard drive for insur-ance, Botha now wants to steal the hard drive. Will and Zhao confront Botha and, by using the mirror technology on the roof of the penthouse, confuse the terrorists in a final shoot-out. Will manages to save Georgia and kill the terror-ists. But, as Will huddles with his daughter,thinking they will die, on the ground, Sarah simply reboots the fire extin-guishing protocols,saving her spouse and offspring from burning to death. Will and Georgia meet up with Sarah-and Henry as a live audience of Asian citizens applauds and cheers. When asked what he will donow, Zhao contem-plates and promises to rebuild his architectural wonder. Other WWE wres-tlers like Hulk Hogan (Rocky III), Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura (Predator; The Running Man; Ricochet), ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin (The Expendables; The Condemned), John Cena (The Marine; Daddy’s Home 1 & 2), and Dave Bautista (The Man With The Iron Fists; Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2) have appeared in action motion-pictures and comedies, but Dwayne Johnson is still, by far, the most commercially-successful, professional ring athlete-turned-Hollywood screen hero.

Charles Mingus (born April 22, 1922) was a bassist extraordinaire, an ingenious bandleader, and a monumental composer of large-scale works whose creativity rivaled Duke Ellington's. Mingus's music com-bines many styles -- gospel, blues traditional New Orleans, swing, bebop, Afro-Cuban, and Euro-classical. Many of his record-ings have been released. But when he died in 1979 at age 59, some of his compositions had never been performed. Jazz historian An-drew Homzy told me that they found many parts to Mingus' suite, "Epitaph", in disorga-nized array in a box in a closet. The suite was re-stored and recorded live in New York City in 1989 by a tribute orchestra led by Gun-ther Schuller. The next year, Schul-ler conducted the 31-piece Mingus Epitaph Orcherstra at a Tri-C JazzFest performance. Mingus' widow, Sue, has kept alive Mingus' musical legacy by heading The Mingus Workshop. She chose the musi-cians for the 14-piece Mingus Big Band that performed in Cleveland on February 8 at the Cleveland Art Museum. Among the fine solo-ists that performed were Frank Lacy, Robin Eubanks, Craig Handy, Seamus Blake, How-ard Johnson and many others.

Since Darrick Wade lost his beloved son, De-metrius, to lead poisoning, he has worked tirelessly to educate the public and hold city and county officials ac-countable for the lead poi-soning crisis in Cuyahoga County. R e p o r t s confirm that 12 percent of Cleveland's children under 6 years old have lead blood levels that are four times the national average. More Cleveland children are suffering from lead poisoned then in Flint, Michigan, which made na-tional news for the levels of lead in their drinking water, For many years, Wade was the lone voice sounding the alarm of the lead poisoning crisis. Wade attended city council meetings and meet-ings of a new organizations

Lead poisoning expert and advocate writes book

promising to tackle the prob-lem. Cleveland Lead Advocates for Safe Housing (CLASH) launched a petition to get a “Lead Safe” ordi-nance on the ballot in Cleve-land’s 2019 general election.

Councilman Blaine Griffin, however; was not ea-ger to take action because it was not politically expedient. In a radio interview, Griffin said that he wouldn’t even commit to action by the end of 2019. (In early 2018, he’d promised that the city would complete legislation by the end of that year). Wade took matters into his own hands, literally. He wrote a children's book about the dangers of lead poi-soning. He knows that par-ents need to learn the dangers to prevent lead paint and dust from damaging the health of their children. While CLASH and other organizations try to en-act legislation to hold land-lords accountable for certi-fying their properties (built before 1978) are lead safe, Wade is giving parents to in-

formation they need now. Wade is working on the artwork, but hopes to have the book in their hands by the end of the year. Wade does sup-port CLASH's proposal that would create new require-ments for landlords to dis-close whether their rental was registered with the city as “lead safe” and to include that information in advertise-ments. It also would build in protections for renters whose homes are found to have haz-ards. CLASH’s plan would jumpstart such a fund by doubling the current cost to register a rental with the city from $35 to $70 dollars, which could raise about $4 million a year. According to Wade, money that should be spent on the children.

Finding help with expensive medications If you or someone you love is one of the mil-lions of Americans with a chronic disease or a life-threatening condition, pharmaceutical manufac-turers and their partners offer you a gift of hope this holiday season. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are criti-cized as Scrooge or the Grinch in our country’s health care system. Elect-ed officials and advocacy organizations want to blame somebody for ris-ing Rx costs, and the most obvious target is the Big Pharma. But in this blame game, very little attention is given to the help the pharmaceutical industry and its partners quietly provide to patients in need through a variety of pro-grams. Such programs are often based on the pa-tient’s household income, but not always. Patients with no health insurance coverage are often the first group considered eligible. Likewise, those with one or more chronic or life-threatening conditions are a high priority. If you fall into one of these categories, check out the Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) found on individual pharmaceu-tical company websites or through Partnership for Prescription Assis-tance (www.pparx.org), the website created by PhRMA, the trade asso-ciation representing phar-maceutical manufacturers, linking patients to more than 475 different assis-tance programs. On most of these websites, you can be con-nected with a customer support team member who can help determine if you are eligible and get you enrolled. You will be asked to verify that you are insured or uninsured and, in some cases, pro-vide proof of income. You may need your physician to validate your condition. But once approved, access

to medication is almost immediate. (Note: Patients enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid may not be eli-gible.) Pharmaceutical manufacturers also of-fer co-pay assistance, in which the patient is of-fered help with the cost of medication co-payments. Some co-pay assistance programs do not limit who is eligible. And, it is impor-tant to know that some co-pay assistance programs will not help people on Medicare. Each program sets its own rules. People search-ing for an online provider should check out www.RxAssist.org. This site was developed by Astra-Zeneca, a pharmaceuti-cal manufacturer, with the sole purpose of help-ing people access needed medications. It is one of the best sites available.

The California Chronic Care Coalition (CCCC) launched the web-site www.mypatientrights.com in California and is taking it nationwide to help people who have been denied treatment or medi-cines, experienced delays or are dissatisfied with the decisions made by their health plan. Today, this program is operating in 17 states. It helps patients get the care or treatment they need if denied, or if their plans don’t cover their meds and force them to pay full price. The pro-gram is available in 17 states—check the website to see if your state has a program. This holiday sea-son, if you need help with your medications, you are not alone. Go to the web-sites cited throughout this article. They can help con-nect you with low-cost and free alternatives.

Whether it’s a dog, cat or another furry (or scaly) friend, many people have pets who are more than just animals – they’re part of the family. Pets can be friends, they can offer nonjudgmen-tal companionship when you’re feeling down and they can put a smile on your face. To provide the best care for a pet, you’ll want to be able to afford their needs, in-cluding the basics like food and health care. With this in mind, think carefully and re-view your budget before de-ciding to welcome an animal into your family. Choose a pet that you can afford. While the ini-tial cost of adopting or buy-ing a pet is relatively small compared to the long-term expenses, the type of pet you choose does matter. Admittedly, you might visit the pound and fall in love with a dog or cat. What can you do? The heart wants what the heart wants.

Research is a must if you want to take cost-saving mea-sures, though. For example, larger animal breeds might be more expensive to care for, partially because they simply eat more food. And if you’re taking in a dog you’ll want to consider the cost of training, which could set you back sev-eral hundred dollars. Lifespan is another consideration. Hamsters, gerbils and some types of fish only might live a couple of years. A pet turtle, on the other hand, could live several decades. Keep your pet healthy and happy. Health care can be one of the most expensive aspects of pet own-ership. As with humans, it’s often best to invest in preven-tative care rather than treat emergencies. Follow your pet’s recommended vaccination schedule and treatments, spay or neuter cats and dogs and visit the vet at least once a year for a checkup. Finding

and dealing with health prob-lems early on isn’t only less expensive, you might be able to prevent serious problems and improve your pet’s qual-ity of life. Some types of pre-ventative care don’t require a visit to the vet, although you can ask for recommenda-tions. For example, brushing your dog’s teeth (with special toothpaste) can help prevent teeth and gum problems. Consider pet insur-ance to cover emergencies. When a pet is part of the fam-ily, you’ll do anything to help him or her. You might want to have an insurance policy to help cover emergencies that you might not be able to af-ford otherwise. Particularly if you have a high-risk breed, a pet that tends to escape or you live in an area with a lot of other potentially aggressive animals. Before buying a pol-icy, read up on how pet insur-ance works. There can be im-portant differences between pet and human policies. Save money on nu-tritious food. Once you bring a pet home, it’s your respon-sibility to provide for them. You can ask your vet for food recommendations (and free samples) based on the pet’s type and age. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has gener-al nutrition tips for dogs and cats, including age-based diet recommendations.

Saving money when adding a new pet to your home Once you’ve found a food that you and your pet likes, you might be able to get a discount by signing up for a subscription delivery service online. Or, if you don’t mind the workout, consider buying in bulk at a warehouse club. Have a plan for when you’re unavailable. Another responsibility pet owners take on is making sure their pet is looked after while they’re away. The least expensive option could be to find a neighbor or friend who also has a pet and exchange free pet-sitting services. Otherwise, you can look for a well-reviewed dog-gy day care center or board-ing service. You could try one of the several apps that connect you with someone who can feed, walk or play with your pet. If you’re away for several days, the apps can help you find someone who will spend the night or take your pet to their home. Taking a pet into your home and caring for them can be a rewarding and wonderful experience. It can also be life changing. Re-view the potential immediate and long-term costs to help ensure that you’ll be able to provide for a pet once they join your family. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa’s financial edu-cation programs.

“We made too many mistakes in the second half. We were our own worst enemy in the second half. I give them (South Da-kota State) credit they played well in the sec-ond half.” Those were the opening remarks from Youngstown State University head football coach Bo Pelini fol-lowing their 38-28 loss to South Dakota State last Saturday at the Ice Castle at Youngstown State. Both teams came into this came with identical records of 4-1. Youngstown State was ranked 17th amongst FCS teams and the Jack Rabbits of South Da-kota State were ranked 3rd. This was the 21st meeting between the 2 programs with South Dakota State leading the series 13-7. Last year YSU lost to South Dakota State 36-7. Two years ago the Penguins won at home 19-7. Both teams came into this week on opposite ends from the previous week. Youngstown State lost a close one to Northern Iowa 21-14 and South Dakota State won 28-10 over Southern Illinois. All four of the Penguins wins have come by a margin of 20 points or

more. Last Saturday’s game was homecom-ing for the Penguins. It was the 79th one and the YSU Penguins had a record of 53-24-1 and has won 6 out of the last 8 contests. In 5 games the Penguins defense has caused 12 turnovers and last year for the whole season they had 9 total. Penalties have been a huge part of the Penguins as they have had 39 of them for 407 yards. The coaching matchups had South Dakota States John Steigelmeier who is in his 23rd year as a col-lege head coach. His whole tenure has been at South Dakota State and comes with a record of 162-101. Our Pen-guins leader is Bo Pelini who is in his 5th year as a Penguin. He supports a record of 31-23 and overall in his 13th sea-son as a college head coach. He has a record of 98-50. Last week YSU starting quarter-back senior Nathan Mays was injured in the second half. Last Saturday he was listed as questionable. He had career high 239 yards passing. For the game against South Dakota State, Mays wanted to play and Pelini made

Louis Andrew Gleason reached a mile-stone in his life as he celebrated his 90th birth-day last Sunday with his family and friends at South Euclid United Church of Christ in South Euclid. Gleason was born on October 14, 1929, and at the time of his birth, Herbert Hoover was the Presi-dent, but with the elec-tion of Barack Obama, Obama became his fa-vorite president. Gleason grew up in the Mount Pleas-ant area and gradu-ated from John Adams High School. After high school for a short time, Gleason attended John Carroll University before he was drafted into the Army Air corps where he served for 5 years. Gleason has 5 children, 8 grandchil-dren, and 6 great grand-children. He and his wife, Gerri, have been married for 39 years. In the early 1950s, Gleason’s father, William “Jap” Glea-son, opened Gleason’s Musical Bar at E. 55th and Woodland Ave. The Musical Bar was a ven-ue for African American talent to perform and at one time, the area was viewed as the Harlem of Cleveland for entertain-ment. As a young man, Louis worked at the bar to help his father. Gleason at-tends St. Dominic’s Catholic Church and prior to retiring from the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, he was the director of African American Ministries for 25 years for the Catho-lic Diocese. With fam-ily and friends, Gleason enjoyed himself as he celebrated his birthday. In attendance for the celebration were Glea-son’s longtime friends Cornelius Collins, 93, Constance Speed. Kudos go to Gleason’s wife for ar-ranging the birthday party and for gathering many of his family and longtime friends. Also during the celebration, there was a video showing photos of Gleason’s life from childhood to him enjoy-ing his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

the call to start Mays as the Penguin quarter-back. Mays’ injury was obvious as he limped every time he was out there. Pelini commen-tated, “He fought like a warrior. You got to give Nate a lot of credit be-cause he played hard” For all you wagers out there Youngstown State was a 7 point un-derdog. The Penguins won the coin toss and elected to defer. South Dakota State had a 12 play 64 yard drive that resulted in a 36 yard field goal by Chase Vinatieri. Six minutes later the Penguins hit the score board as Nate Mays literally limped into the end zone from 28 yards out. The extra point by Colten Mc-Fadden was good and the Penguins led after 1 quarter. There was only one score in the second quarter and that was a 1 yard run by Nate Mays. The Penguins hit the locker room break with a 14-3 lead. It’s always said that teams make adjustments during the half time break. When the 2 teams returned for the third quarter it was obvious that South Da-kota State made the ad-justments and the Pen-guins did not. At the 10:53 mark Mays threw a pick 6 to South

Dakota State corner-back Don Gardner who ran 42 yards for the score. Three minutes later Penguin running back Joe Alessi caught a 45 yard pass and scored for the Penguins. Seven minutes later after a 13 play 75 yard drive the Jack Rabbits scored on 2 yard run by quarter-back J’Bore Gibbs. After 3 quar-ters the Penguins led 21-16. For the last quar-ter the Penguins let the hard fought game slip away. At the 11:04 mark South Dakota State scored on a 81 yard pass play from Gibbs to wide

receiver Cade Johnson who had no Penguins near him. Five minutes later the Jack Rabbits scored again on a 13 yard run by C.J. Wilson. The Jack Rabbits led 31-21. Yo u n g s t o w n State made it interest-ing as second string quarterback Joe Cray-craft who replaced the beat up Nathan Mays tossed a 17 pass to tight end Miles Joiner. With a little under 3 minutes the Jack Rabbits got the ball again at their 25 yard line. Six plays later South Dakota State quarterback J’Bore gal-

loped 63 yards for the score. The game was over. Leading the Penguins in rushing was Joe Alissi who had 17 carries for 72 yards. In the passing department Nathan Mays was 14-24 with 2 interceptions and 176 yards. The leading re-ceiver was Miles Joiner who had 5 catches for 81yards. Next week the Penguins will travel to Carbondale Illinois to take on Southern Il-linois. South Dakota State will travel to Terre Haute Indiana to take on Indiana State. .

Local politi-cians, city activists, and John F. Kennedy High School students marched in the 11th Congressional District Labor Day parade on Monday. Congresswom-an Marcia L. Fudge was the Grand Marshal at the 11th Congressional District Labor Day Pa-rade & Festival. The parade kicked off at 10:30 a.m. at 147th and Kinsman Avenue and ended at Luke Easter Park where the festival begins.

It’s been a tra-dition since 1971. The parade is the preeminent politi-cal event of the year in Northeast Ohio as U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, a Democrat from War-rensville Heights, host-ed her annual Labor Day parade and festival. The event is a time for candidates, es-pecially Democrats, to shine - and for Fudge to shine a light on her favorites, often touting them as “my candidate” when they crossed the parade stage.

CWRU to hold Think Tank Forum lecture series A playwright who has been compared to no less than dramatist Arthur Miller. A renais-sance man named among TIME’s most influential people. A psychology professor who studies compassion, love and meaning. And the co-founder of a company that helps people take back their lives in the grasp of a digital age. Case Western Reserve University’s Think Forum lecture se-ries for 2019-20 once again spans a vast and entertaining range of topics and timely issues. Presented annually, the series allows the campus community and Greater Cleveland residents to engage with prominent academic leaders and na-tional experts. All lectures are free and begin at 6 p.m. at the Maltz Perform-ing Arts Center, 1855 Ansel Road. Paid park-ing is available on site, although a free shuttle service will be available from campus. Events are free, but preregistration is re-quired. Reservations for the fall lectures are avail-

able now, and for the spring lectures starting Jan. 3. Reservations may be made online or by calling the Maltz Center box office at (216) 368-6062. The 2019-20 Think Forum schedule consists of two lectures this fall, one in March and the fourth in April: Manoush Zo-morodi, Wed., Oct. 23 Zomorodi is co-founder of Stable Genius Productions, a media company with a mission to help people navigate personal and global change. StableG uses podcasts to test new ways journalists can educate, entertain and inspire through nar-rative. The company’s first project is “ZigZag,” a podcast about changing the course of capitalism, journalism and women’s lives. In 2012, Zo-morodi created, hosted and was managing editor of “Note to Self,” a pod-cast for “anyone trying to preserve their human-ity in the digital age.” In 2015, she led tens of thousands of listeners through an experiment to

Fast Company named her one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business for 2018. David Henry Hwang, Tuesday, Nov. 5 Few writ-ers have turned issues around ethnicity and identity into a widely ac-claimed and award-win-ning career like Hwang. The Chinese American playwright, described by The New York Times as “a true original” and by TIME magazine as “the first important dramatist of American public life since Arthur Miller,” is best known as author of M. Butterfly. That endur-ing 1988 work, which won a Tony Award, Dra-ma Desk Award, John Gassner Award and Out-er Critics Circle Award, was also a finalist for the

Pulitzer Prize. M. Butterfly has been staged in more than four-dozen countries and inspired a major motion picture. His newest “play with music,” Soft Power, with composer Jeanine Tesori, premiered in 2018 in Los Angeles and opens in New York this fall. Hwang’s play, Golden Child subse-quently played on Broad-way, where it received three Tony nominations, and Yellow Face, a final-ist for the Pulitzer Prize, was named one of the best American plays of the past 25 years by The New York Times in 2018—the year he also was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame. Jaron Lanier, Wed., March 4 Lanier is a computer scientist, com-poser, artist and author who writes on numerous topics, including high-technology business, the social impact of technol-ogy, the philosophy of consciousness and infor-mation, internet politics and the future of human-ism. In 2018, Lanier

was named one of the 25 most influential people in the previous 25 years of tech history by Wired magazine.
