A recent report is fueling the debate over funding for charter schools in Ohio. State law requires automatic closure of charter schools that are lagging academically, but loopholes have allowed operators to keep some
failing schools open. The research from Policy Matters
Ohio found seven of 20 schools on the state’s closure list
still are operating-some under different names, but with
the same staff. Report co-author Piet Lier said many of
these schools are doing no better than before they were
ordered to close.

Gangs fight at John Adams High School
Rival gangs at John Adams High School, 3817 Martin

about 12:46 p.m. on Thursday.
According to police
reports, school security and
Cleveland Police used pepper
spray to break up the fight.
A Cleveland Metro-

Gasoline prices in area drop
Northeast Ohio motorists may be breathing a sigh of
relief this week as prices reverse
their upward trend and settle
down a penny at the pump. Today’s average is $3.77 per gallon.
Today’s national average price
for a gallon of regular unleaded
gasoline is $3.74. This price is 22
cents more than one month ago,
but it is three cents less expensive than one week ago and three
cents less than the average price
one year ago.
Motorists in every state
are paying more at the pump
than one month ago, however
many drivers are beginning to
feel some welcome relief. 27
states have an average price that
is cheaper than one year ago and
38 states and Washington D.C.
are paying less than one week
ago. In 2012, the national average for regular unleaded peaked
at $3.94 on April 5 and 6. During
2011, the price peaked at $3.98
on May 5.
Sharply higher pump
prices in January and February of
this year were driven by refinery
maintenance and concerns, rather than more expensive crude oil.
These refinery issues pressured
wholesale gasoline prices higher,
while crude oil prices only rose
slightly during the same period.
The recent decline in
the national average is partially
due to cheaper crude oil but is
more closely linked to tumbling
wholesale gasoline prices.
Crude oil prices began
2013 at $93.12 per barrel and increased as high as $97.94 on Jan.
30.
At the close of formal
trading on the NYMEX Monday,
WTI prices settled 56 cents lower at $90.12 per barrel.

the gun with the use of a metal detector. School security questioned
the student, and felt the incident
did not warrant placing the school
on lock down.
Rev. Dr. Jawanza Colvin, pastor of the Olivet Institutional Baptist Church, says he
wants federal agents to look at
the chase that started at the Justice Center and ended in East
Cleveland.
“A community always
wants to be able to believe there
is good policing, and I think
when there is a sense of mistrust between the community
and law enforcement, it is always good to have a third party
to come in and give oversight,”
Rev. Colvin said.
Rev. Colvin says there
are growing concerns regarding
alleged excessive use of force
by city police.
Rev. Tony Minor, executive director of the United
Pastors in Mission, said that a
thorough investigation would
bring closure to the tragedy.
“Criminal investigation must remain front and center. Everyone and all of us will
called for a change in the Cleveland Police Department.
“These are systemic
problems that have been going
on for years and it’s critical that
people east, west, north, south,
get involved in this dialogue,”
Gilbert said.
Rev. Robert Saffold
spoke at the event which was organized by Imperial Women.
“Now we want to hear
from the people so we can organize, come speak with one voice
and go to the powers that are and
try to bring some solace, of closure to this situation,” Rev. Saffold said.
According to Samad, his
organization will continue to keep
the investigation in the public forum so that those involved will be
held accountable.
“This issue is not going
away. More and more groups are
joining the rallies,” Samad said,
“Justice will give the city closure.”

Scott awaits sentencing
By PAT WHITE
Former Cleveland City
Councilwoman Sabra Pierce Scott
will be sentenced for her bribery
conviction for taking a $2,000 cash
bribe from Michael Forlani. Scott
was a two term representative from
Glenville.
Scott used her position
on City Council to assist Forlani’s
company, Doan Pyramid Electric, in obtaining the contract for a
$125 million project near the Louis
Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center in University Circle.
Scott also solicited a job for
her son with Doan Pyramid Electric.
Scott has asked the judge
to consider her years of service. Her
defense attorney, Virginia Davidson, argued that the incident with
Forlani was a momentary lapse in
judgement.
“Mrs. Scott does not minimize her violation of the public
trust,” wrote Davidson. ``She feels
the full shame of the seriousness of
her offense. She has accepted responsibility. She has continued to
cooperate with the authorities in every way.”
Following Scott’s guilty
plea to conspiracy to commit bribery involving federal fund, Scott has

for Cleveland, it is good for the
families and it is also good for the

Rev. Minor said.
Khalid Samad, director
of Peace In The Hood, helped to
organize the rally.
He said that the group
will hold monthly rallies until a
fair and just investigation has been
done. He has asked that Cuyahoga
County Prosecutor Tim McGinty
step down, but McGinty has refused.
“Attorney General Mike
Dewine said that the system failed
everyone, and police union officials believe the officers’ actions
were justified, but no gun or shell
casings were found in the car,” Samad said.

“Mr. Bender brings
many years of experience, both
nationally and internationally, in
the field of Public Utilities,” Jackson said. “ That experience will
help take Cleveland’s Department of Public Utilities to where
we want it to go.” Bender has an
MBA from Boston University and
a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Goshen College. From
1981 to 2010 he was a licensed
Certified Public Accountant in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

and current Mayor Jackson. He

the mayor for employee services
in 2006 and in 2007, became interim director of Public Utilities
and director of that department in
2010.
“Barry’s prior experience in public safety and dealing
with personnel and policy will
serve the city well in this new
role,” Jackson said.
“ I would like to take the
opportunity to thank Barry who
took on the position of director of
Public Utilities at a challenging
time and despite those challenges, helped move the department
forward. He drafted the re-organization plan for the department
and worked with Mr. Bender
throughout the turnaround project, leading to significant customer service improvements.”
Prior to 2006 Withers
served as director of personnel
assistant director of public safety,
and as an executive assistant and

Here’s eye-opening
news: With a little help, the
2.9 million Americans living with low vision—and the
millions more who may have
to someday—can maximize
their remaining eyesight and
safely enjoy a productive and
rewarding life.
Low vision means
that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine
or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to do.
Reading the mail, shopping,
cooking and writing can
seem challenging.
Most people with
low vision are 65 years old or
older. The chief causes of vision loss in older people are
age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy,
cataract and glaucoma.
Among
younger
Americans, low vision is
most often caused by inherited eye conditions, infectious
and autoimmune eye disease,
or trauma.
“I encourage any-
one with low vision to seek
guidance about vision rehabilitation from a low vision
specialist,” advised Paul A.
Sieving, M.D., Ph.D.
A low vision specialist is an ophthalmologist
or optometrist working with
people with low vision. He
or she can develop a rehabilitation plan that identifies
strategies and assistive devices appropriate for the person’s particular needs.
• training to use
magnifying and adaptive devices
• learning new daily
living skills to remain safe
and live independently
• developing strategies to navigate inside and
outside the home
• providing resources and support.
“A vision rehabilitation plan helps people
reach their true visual potential when nothing more
can be done from a medical
or surgical standpoint,” said
Mark Wilkinson, O.D., a low
vision specialist at the University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics.
Help can also come
from the National Eye Institute (NEI), a part of NIH. It
offers a 20-page large-print
booklet, “What You Should
Know About Low Vision,” a
series of videos featuring patient stories about living with
low vision.
The NEI, committed to finding new ways to
improve the lives of people
living with visual impairment, dedicates more than
$24 million to research projects aimed at low vision.
Projects include learning how
the brain adapts to vision loss,
strategies to improve vision
rehabilitation, and the development of new technologies
to help people with low vision read, shop, and find their
way in unfamiliar places.
The booklet, videos
and other resources are at
www.nei.nih.gov/lowvision.
A free workshop
at Cuyahoga Community
College’s (Tri-C®) Western
Campus, 11000 Pleasant Valley Road, Parma, will focus
on the unique experiences of
women who have served in
the military.
“She Serves – She
Deserves” will feature mental health experts discussing
women’s military service
experiences in Iraq and issues facing female veterans,
including homelessness and
health care. The event, which
runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3
p.m. on Wednesday, March
13, will close with a panel
discussion featuring female
veterans from various service
periods.
CEUs are pending
for the event, which aims to
educate female veterans as
well as medical and mental
health professionals, clergy,
human resources professionals and others who work with
female veterans and their
families.
Retired U.S. Army
Col. Cheryl Ludwa will deliver the keynote address.
Not only is she a veteran, she
is the wife of a veteran and
the mother of two daughters
serving in the Army.
Ludwa will share
her unique perspective,
which includes a career that
spanned three decades during
which she also balanced her
roles as wife and mother. She
also will address the changing roles of women in combat recently announced by

‘Good People’ on stage at Allen Theatre
Cleveland
Play
House is thrilled to produce the hit Broadway comedy Good People, written by
one of the most important
new American playwrights.
Nominated for a 2011 Tony
Award® for Best Play, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire’s Good People
takes an affectionate look at
the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’
through the eyes of characters who won’t be ignored.
Actress Kate Hodge
returns to the CPH stage
(Dinner with Friends, Bright
Ideas) to play the toughtalking, blue-collar Margie
Walsh, a role that won Frances McDormand a 2011 Tony
Award for Best Actress.
Also returning to
the CPH stage to play Dottie, Margie’s landlord, is actress Denny Dillon (Well), a
Cleveland native and former
CPH Curtain Puller.
Directed by Laura
Kepley, CPH associate Artistic Director, Good People
will run in the Allen Theatre
at PlayhouseSquare starting
Friday, March 22 through
Sunday, April 14.
“Good People is
a remarkable piece of writing,” says Michael Bloom,
CPH Artistic Director. “It
is one of the new plays that
is redefining the American
comedy – not joke machines,
with laughs every 30 seconds – but socially engaged,
provocative, rooted in the
moment, with realistically
drawn characters.”
Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood
where a night on the town
means a few rounds of bingowhere this month’s paycheck
covers last month’s bills-and
where Margie Walsh has just
been let go from yet another
job.
Hodge
Facing
eviction
and scrambling to catch a
break, Margie thinks an old
fling who has made it out of
Southie might be her ticket to
a fresh new start.
But is this apparently self-made man secure
enough to face his humble
beginnings? Margie is about
Lindsay-Abaire
to risk what little she has left
to find out.
With his signature
humorous glow, Pulitzer
Prize-winning playwright
David Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting
loyalties and unshakeable
hopes that come with having
next to nothing in America.
several that are dubbed ‘Keith’s
Key,’ “Make It Last Forever” examines topics such as:
Why sometimes we
are simply not ready to be in a
relationship;
Why opposites attract
only for short while;
Why maintaining romance and fighting complacency
in a relationship is key;
Why little things, such
as writing a love letter, are important and add peace and trust;
Avoiding the pitfalls
of the sexual rut;
The importance of
talking to each other with respect
even when you disagree;
Putting yourself in
your partner’s shoes when he or
she is upset;
Why fidelity must be a

Islam In The Community
Five pillars of Islam and application of faith
Allah’s apostle said:
Islam is based on (the following)
five (principles):
1. To testify that none has
the right to be worshipped but Allah
and Muhammad is Allah’s
apostle; 2. To offer the (compulsory
congregational) prayers dutifully
and perfectly; 3. To pay Zakat (i.e.
obligatory charity); 4. To perform
Hajj. (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca);
and 5. To observe fast
during the month of Ramadan.
The first of which is a
state of faith, the other four are
major exercises of faith of which
some are daily, some weekly, some
monthly, some annually and some
are required as a minimum once in
a lifetime.
These exercises of faith
are to serve man’s spiritual pur-
poses, satisfy his human needs and
to mark his whole life with
a Divine touch. The five pillars of
Islam are:
Witnessing (Shahada)
that Allah is one and Muhammad
is his messenger.
This statement of faith
must be declared publicly. It should
be a geniune belief which includes
all the above articles of faith.
The witnessing of the
Oneness of Allah is the rejection of
any form of deity other than Allah,
and the witnessing that Muhammad
is His Messenger is the acceptance
of him being chosen by Allah to
convey His message of Islam to all
humanity
and to deliver it from the darkness
of ignorance into the light of belief
in, and knowledge of, the Creator.
The statement of Shahada in arabic is: Ashhadu Alla Ilaha
Illa Allah Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammad Rasulu Allah. An English
translation would be: I bear witness
that there is no God but Allah and I
bear witness that Muhammad is His
Messenger
Prayer (Salah):
Praying to the Creator
on a daily basis is the best way to
cultivate in a man a sound personality and to actualize his aspiration.
Allah does not need
man’s prayer because He is free of
all needs.
Prayer is for our immeasurable benefit, and the blessings
are beyond imagination.
In prayer, every muscle
of the body joins the sould and the
mind in the worship and glory of
A Look At My World
How to have your cake and eat it too
Dr. JAMES L. SNYDER
Somebody came up
with the idea that you cannot have your cake and eat it
too. I am not sure where that
came from, and I am not exactly sure what it means. If
I cannot eat my cake, whose
cake can I eat?
I think it all depends
on how you present “the
cake” in question.
One of the things
most important and strongly
supervised in our home by
the Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage has to do with the
presence of such food items
as cake. At times, I think she
is overly obsessed with some
diet phenomenon.
I, on the other hand,
am rather open to the delicacies of such dietary niceties
as cakes.
Like I said, there is
a way to get around everything. My problem is, how
can I have my cake and eat it
too?
Recently my wife
took a week’s vacation to
New York to visit her relatives. While she was away for
that week, I was in charge of
our little homestead. Whatever happened, happened
because I did it. Whatever
didn’t happen, didn’t happen
because I didn’t do it.
I have a simple rule
in life. Do what you like and
have fun doing it. My wife’s
rule in life is, do exactly what
I tell you and do it now!
When she is not present in the
home, especially for a weeklong duration, I am the one
supervising the rules. And
so, during that week my rules
ruled. I will not say I had fun
during that week, because I
would not want that kind of
information to be leaked to
certain people.
All during the week,
I ate every kind of delicacy I
could wrap my lips around.
Not one shred of salad could
be found in the house during
the whole week. Salads were
outlawed, desserts were in
order.
On the day my wife
was scheduled to return from
her New York trip, I had to go
to school and pick up one of
my granddaughters. She was
sick and nobody else was
available but Yours Truly.
When I picked her
up she did not look quite as
sick as I would have figured,
but who am I to question the
wisdom of a schoolteacher.
We spent the entire afternoon
eating lunch at McDonald’s,
shopping at the Dollar Tree
and just having a rip snorting
time of our life. If this is sick,
may I be sick every day of
my life.
As a supposedly
sick seven-year-old, her energy ran her grandpa firmly
into the ground. I am not sure
I ever had that much energy.
It was great to spend an afternoon with one of my granddaughters. Usually this is the
privilege of grandma and so I
felt honored to take her place
for one afternoon. Towards
the end of the afternoon my
granddaughter said, “When
will grandma get home?”
I calculated it and
responded by telling her that
according to the schedule
she should be getting home
around 6 o’clock . As that information saturated her little
brain she then said, “Well,
can we have a surprise party
for grandma?”
Off to the store we
went. Things needed for pur-

chasing to put together the
surprise welcome home party
for grandma. There were
cards to purchase. I say cards
because she could not choose
between two cards and so we
decided, or rather I should
say, she decided to get both
of them. Women start early
in life, don’t they. There were
ribbons to buy and then she
saw a nice bouquet of roses.
We bought the roses.
All this time I was
thinking about a special project I had in mind. That special project took the form of a
special welcome home cake.
I took my granddaughter over
to the case where all of the
cakes were displayed and invited her to pick out one that
suited her. As far as I am concerned, a cake is a cake and
my favorite cake is the one I
am eating at the time.
She picked out a
beautiful cake and we went
to the checkout counter and
paid for our wonderful purchases.
Now it was home
to set up our little welcome
home party for grandma.
My granddaughter spent quite a bit of time
drawing pictures on the inside of the cards while I paid
special attention to how to
display the cake. I was sure
that grandma, who usually
does not approve of cake
coming into our home, would
not disapprove of this cake if
we presented it right.
When
grandma
walked in the door, we yelled
“Surprise” and boy was she
surprised.
Then came the time
for us to present the cake and
eat it as well. Whoever says
you can’t have your cake and
eat it too needs to sit down
and talk with me. I have
found a wonderful way of
having my cake and eating it
too without the sneering disapproval of You Know Who.
I like what the Bible
says. “There has no temptation taken you but such as is
common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that
ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way
to escape, that ye may be
able to bear it” (1 Corinthians
10:13 KJV).
God always provides the cake and then invites us to eat it with Him.

Allah. Prayer is an act of worship.
It is a matchless and unprecedented formula of intellectual
mediation and spiritual devotion,
of moral elevation and physical
exercise, all combined.
O f f e r i n g o f prayers is
obligatory upon every Muslim male
and female who is sane, mature and
in the case of women free from
menstruation and confinement due
to child birth.
Requirements of prayer:
performing of ablution (Wudu), purity of the whole body, clothes and
ground used for prayer, dressing
properly and having the intention
and facing the Qiblah (the direction
of the Ka’bah at Mecca).
O b l i g a t o r y prayers:
Five daily prayers, the Friday’s
noon congregation prayer and the
funeral prayer. Times of obligatory
prayers: 1. Early morning: After
dawn and before sunrise; 2. Noon:
After the sun begins to decline from
its zenith until it is about midway on
its course to set; 3. Mid-afternoon:
After the expiration of the noon
prayer time until sunset; 4. Sunset:
Immediately after sunset until the
glow in the western horizon disappears; and 5. Evening: After the
expiration of the sunset prayer until
dawn.
Highly recommended
prayer: Those accompanying the
obligatory prayer and the two great
festival prayers.
Optional prayer: Voluntary prayer during the day and
night. Prayer should be offered in
its due time, unless there is a reasonable excuse. Delayed obligatory
prayers must be made up.
In addition to the prescribed prayer, a Muslim expresses
gratitude to God and appreciation of
His favors and asks for His mercy
all the time.
Es p e c i a l l y a t times
of, for example, childbirth, marriage, going to or rising from bed,
leaving and returning to his home,
starting a journey or entering a city,
riding or driving, before or after eating or drinking, harvesting, visiting
graveyards and at time of distress
and sickness.
O b l i g a t o r y Charity
(Zakah): Obligatory charity giving
is an act of worship and
spiritual investment. The literal
meaning of Zakah is purity and it
refers to the annual amount in kind
or coin which a Muslim with means
must distribute among the rightful
beneficiaries.
Zakah does not only
purity the property of the contributor but also purifies his heart from
selfishness and greed.
It also purifies the heart
of the recipient from envy and jealousy, from hatred and uneasiness
and it fosters instead good-will and
warm wishes for the contributors.
Zakah has a deep humanitarian and social political
value; for example, it frees society
from class welfare, from ill feelings
and distrust and from corruption.
Although Islam does not hinder
private enterprise or condemn private possession, it does not tolerate
selfish and greedy capitalism.
Islam adopts a moderate
but positive and effective course
between individual and society,
between the citizen and the state,
between capitalism and socialism,
between materialism and spiritualism.
Zakah is paid on the
net balance after paying personal
expenses, family expenses, due
credits, taxes, etc.
Every Muslim male or
female who at the end of the year
is in possession of the equivalent
of 85 grams of gold (approx. $1400
in 1990) or more in cash or articles
of trade, must give Zakah at the
minimum rate of 2.5%. Taxes paid
to government do not substitute for
this religious duty.
The contributor should
not seek pride or fame but if disclosing his name and his contribution is likely to encourage others,
it is acceptable to do so. The recipients of Zakah are: the poor, the
needy, the new Muslim
converts, the Muslim prisoners of
war (to liberate them), Muslims in
debt, employees appointed to collect Zakah, Muslims in service of
research or study or propagation of
Islam, and wayfarers who
are foreigners in need of help.
Not the obligatory nature
of Zakah; it
is required. Muslims can also go
above and beyond what they pay as
Zakah, in which case the offering is
a strictly voluntary charity
(sadaqa).
Fasting (Sawm): Fasting is abstaining completely from
eating, drinking, intimate sexual
contacts and smoking from the
break of dawn till sunset.
It is a matchless Islamic
institution which teaches man the
principle of sincere love to God.
Fasting teaches man a
creative sense of hope, devotion,
patience, unselfishness, moderation, willpower, wise saving, sound
budgeting, mature adaptability,
healthy survival, discipline, spirit of
social belonging, unityand brotherhood.
Obligatory fast is done
once a year for the period of the
month of Ramadan; the ninth month
of the Islamic year.
Recommended fasting
includes every Monday and Thursday of every week, three days in the
middle of each Islamic month, six
days after Ramadan following the
Feast Day and a few days of the two
months before Ramadan.
Fasting of Ramadan is
a worship act which is obligatory
on every adult Muslim, male or
female if he/she is mentally and
physically fit and not on a journey.
Exceptions: women during their
period of menstruation and while
nursing their child, and also in case
of travel and sickness for both men
and women.
The Pilgrimage (Hajj):
It is a pilgrimage to Mecca, at least
once in a lifetime and it is obligatory upon every Muslim male and
female who is mentally, physically
and financially fit. It is the largest
annual convention of faith on earth
(in 1989: 2.5 million).
Peace is the dominant
theme. Peace with Allah, with one’s
soul, with one another, with all liv-
ing creatures.
To disturb the peace of
anyone or any creature in any shape
or form is strictly prohibited.
Muslims from all walks
of life, from every corner of the
globe assemble in Mecca in response to the call of Allah.
There is no royalty, but
there is loyalty of all to Allah, the
Creator.
It is to commemorate
the Divine rituals observed by the
Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, who were the first pilgrims
to the house of Allah on earth: the
Ka’bah. It is also to remember the
great assembly of the Day of Judgement when people will stand equal
before Allah. Muslims go to Mecca
to glorify Allah, not to worship a
man.
The visit to the tomb of
Prophet Muhammad at Madena
is highly recommended but not
essential in making the Hajj valid
and complete.
The Nitty-Gritty
Positivity is abound everywhere
By KIM SMITH
It’s time to ignore our “Magnificent Morons”,
namely our political leaders, and
focus on the positive. Their endless nonsense, and the “sky is
falling” tactics, are making my
head ache, so lets take a look at
the world of wonderful people
and events, of which there is
an abundance. This week, we’ll
focus on everyday heroes. Last
month, readers will recall the
tragic death of a bus-driver,
Charles Albert Poland. When
Mr. Poland arose that fateful
morning, little did he know that
it would be his last.
He headed for the elementary school, as usual, then
climbed on his bus, and began to
pick up the students on his route.
Suddenly, a violent and wild
man changed the normal routine
into chaos and terror, demanding that the bus-driver hand over
two of the elementary students
to him.
Shielding the children
protectively, he refused. As he
refused, this stranger grabbed
one of the youngsters, and shot
Mr. Poland to death.
Mr. Poland could
have taken the “easy” way out
in an attempt to save his own
life by doing as this crazy man
demanded--but he did not. His
first and only thought was the
lives and safety of his students.
Mr. Poland was an inspiration,
performing an incredible act of
bravery. In short, he was an hero
of the first degree.
Let’s take a look at the
cancer patients at the St. Jude’s
Children’s Hospital. No doubt
you have seen the commercials
showing these incredibly brave
youngsters. Forget the “commercial” element, and simply
focus on the courage, the beauty
and the raw determination on
their faces. Self-pity? Not a trace
can be seen. They, too, are inspiring examples of heroism.
Perhaps you, too, have
read the amazing articles, in your
regional newspapers, concerning
young high-school athletes who
are whole-hearted participants
in foot-ball, wrestling and more.
Why are these particular youngsters heroes? Because they play- inspite of one or more missing
limbs!
Do the teams accept
them out of pity? Not a chance!
They simply refused to allow
these “limitations” stand in
their way. They not only helped
lead their teams to victory, they
claimed victory over their “disabilities”!
Awesome!
I must mention another hero, one you have possibly
forgotten about, but I have not.
You will soon understand why.
His name? Now-deceased actor,
Christopher Reeves. Mr. Reeves
had climbed the ladder of fame;
his most-notable role was in the
popular series, “Superman..”
One day, at the height
of his career, he had gone horseback riding. His ride was “as
usual,”’ then fate took an unexpected turn: his horse threw
him hard upon the ground. The
out-come? A broken neck, and
a once-vital, successful man
was now a quadraplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. I
had been a “Superman fan,” and
grieved for his terrible loss. As
the months and years rolled by
after his accident, I kept track of
him. I marveled at his raw guts
and determination to survive-and over-come. Inspite of his
massive limitations, he starred in
several movies.
I watched him fight
and work to over-come the paralysis as well. Just as his fight
to recover began to yield astounding progress...he died of
paralysis-related causes. In the
midst of his struggles, severe illness knocked at my door. I was
all but a complete invalid, capable of little more than laying in
bed, or on the couch, and in great
pain. During those dark days, I
kept my focus on Christopher
Reeve’s bravery, telling myself,
“if he can do it, I can do it.” And
I did. How many people have
been inspired to “hang in there”
and move forward because of
heroes such as these? Too many
to count, I am sure.
Thankyou. Thankyou
so much.
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful

Legal Court Interpretation
You And The Law
The Emergency-Aid Exception is an exception
Prosecutors avoid pretrial publicity to ensure fair trails
On March 27, 2008,
Vandalia Police Officer Robert Brazel received a dispatch
that there was a suicidal man
driving a “big rig” tow truck
and that he was planning
to kill himself when he arrived at his destination. The
dispatcher indicated that the
driver, Richard Dunn, had a
weapon.
Brazel soon saw the
truck and followed it until another officer arrived to assist.
The two officers signaled for
Dunn to pull over. After stopping the truck, a teary-eyed
Dunn emerged and put his
hands up.
The officers handcuffed Dunn, for his safety
and theirs, but they found no
weapons on him. As Brazel
walked Dunn to the cruiser,
Dunn stated: “It’s in the
glove box.” Brazel asked if
he was referring to the gun;
Dunn said yes. The other officer checked the glove compartment and found a loaded
gun.
Dunn told Brazel
that the week before he’d had
problems with his soon-to-be
ex-wife and had been taken
to a hospital for a mentalhealth evaluation. Dunn had
intended to shoot himself after dropping off the truck he
was towing. Ultimately, Brazel drove Dunn to the hospital in his patrol car.
Dunn was later indicted on one count of improper handling of a firearm
in a motor vehicle. He filed a
motion to suppress, contending that the traffic stop violated the Fourth Amendment
protection against unreasonable searches and seizures,
and that the officers had not
informed him of his Miranda
rights.
Dunn asked that all
evidence resulting from the
stop – the gun and his statements – be suppressed. At the
suppression hearing, Brazel
testified that he hadn’t observed Dunn violate any traffic laws while following him,
and he admitted that the officers hadn’t given Dunn Miranda warnings.
Nevertheless, the
trial court overruled the motion to suppress, holding that
the stop was a “legitimate
response to an emergency
situation,” and was therefore
not an unreasonable seizure
under the Fourth Amendment. Dunn was eventually
sentenced to five years of supervised probation and was
ordered to attend counseling
and pay court costs.
When the court of
appeals reviewed the case
it reversed the trial court’s
judgment, vacated the conviction, and granted the motion to suppress. After that,
the case came before us – the
Supreme Court of Ohio.
By a six-to-one
vote, our court reversed the
court of appeals’ judgment
and reinstated the trial court’s
judgment. In reaching its decision, the majority pointed
out that there are a number
of exceptions to the Fourth
Amendment warrant requirement, including the “emergency-aid exception.”
That
exception,
first addressed by the United States Supreme Court in
1973, arose from the conclusion that the Fourth Amendment protects citizens from
only unreasonable government searches and seizures.
The Fourth Amendment, for
example, “does not bar police
officers from making warrantless entries and searches
when they reasonably believe
that a person within is in need
of immediate aid.”
Thus, the majority
concluded that the emergency-aid exception to the Fourth
Amendment authorized Brazel to stop Dunn based on
the dispatch that Dunn was
armed and planned to kill
himself.
I cast the dissenting vote because it’s questionable whether this case
should have been prosecuted
at all. In any event, it came
before us because of the
prosecution’s simple failure
to meet its burden in the suppression hearing of proving
that the traffic stop leading
to the charge against Dunn
was reasonable. Officer
Brazel stopped Dunn based
solely on a telephone tip. In
1999, our court held that a
telephone tip can, standing
alone, create reasonable suspicion justifying an investigative stop where the tip has
sufficient indications of reliability.
In that 1999 case,
we wrote, “Where an officer
making an investigative stop
relies solely upon a dispatch,
the state must demonstrate
at a suppression hearing that
the facts precipitating the
dispatch justified a reasonable suspicion of criminal
activity.”
But the majority in
Dunn’s case said that the evidentiary requirement – from
that 1999 case – imposed
on the state in a suppression
hearing applies only to an investigative stop. The majority maintained that Dunn’s
was not an investigative stop.
I disagreed; it had
all the earmarks of an investigative stop. Brazel turned
on his lights and siren to pull
Dunn over, the two officers
blocked the road and lit the
area. Dunn was told to raise
his hands and was later handcuffed.
The majority wanted to make this a case only
about emergency circumstances. Of course it’s reasonable to make a traffic
stop to prevent a suicide; but
if the state brings criminal
charges based upon that stop,
it still must prove that the officer making the stop had a
reasonable basis to believe
that the driver was suicidal.
The majority cited
many cases in which courts
have found that officers had
a reasonable basis to conduct
a warrantless entry, but none
of those cases involved a
telephone tip as the sole reason supporting the entry.
Great police work
doesn’t have to result in a
conviction. Whether they’re
assisting stranded motorists, helping lost children,
or calming dangerous situations, police officers serve
their communities daily,
performing good deeds that
don’t show up on the police
blotters.
In this case, Officer
Brazel did exemplary work.
He interrupted Dunn’s potential suicide. He defused
the situation with no injuries
to anyone. He didn’t arrest
Dunn; instead, he took him
to the hospital to get the
mental-health help he needed.
Why did Brazel
drive Dunn himself? Because Dunn was upset over
having been billed for an
earlier trip to the hospital by
the ambulance. This was a
mission of mercy, performed
with impeccable professionalism by a well-trained police officer.
But the prosecutor decided to charge Dunn
with a crime, and we therefore had to consider whether
the state properly proved the
case against him. At the suppression hearing, the state
failed to prove the reliability of the informant’s tip in
a situation where the informant’s tip served as the entire basis for the stop leading
to Dunn’s indictment. In my
opinion, the court of appeals
was, therefore, correct in reversing the conviction.

Prepare now for natural disasters
By JASON ALDERMAN
Natural disasters are
inevitable, unpreventable and
often come without warning.
No part of the world seems to
be spared, whether it’s a hurricane, earthquake, tornado,
drought or flood. Even though
such catastrophes can’t always be predicted, their likely
aftermaths often can, including property loss, power or
water service disruption,
scarcity of food and supplies
or overtaxed relief organizations.
Superstorm Sandy
was a powerful reminder
of why it’s vital to develop
a family disaster plan. By
planning ahead and knowing
what you might need under
dire circumstances, you can
save yourselves a lot of time,
money and grief. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) offers great
suggestions for developing
a family emergency plan,
building an emergency supply kit, and learning what to
do before, during and after
emergencies – even a plan for
family pets (www.fema.gov).
Once your physical safety has been assured,
you’ll inevitably need to access important financial and
legal records, whether to file
insurance claims, apply for
loans or simply withdraw
cash. Taking these few steps
now will make accessing
such information much easier
when the time comes:
Create a log of all
account numbers, toll-free
emergency numbers, contact
information and passwords
for your bank and credit card
accounts, loans, insurance
policies, utilities and other
important accounts. Update
it regularly and save copies in
secure, offsite locations such
as a safety deposit box or with
a trusted friend living in another area.
You can also email
the list to yourself in an encrypted, password-protected
file, save it on a CD or USB
drive, or use a cloud-based
storage service like Dropbox
that will let you access it from
any Internet connection.
Make PDF copies
of tax returns, insurance policies and legal documents and
save offsite in the same manner as above, in case your files
or computer are destroyed by
fire or flood. Also make digi-

tal copies of invaluable family photos, documents and
memorabilia that money can’t
replace. Document your possessions. If you should ever
need to file an insurance
claim or claim a tax deduction
for lost, stolen or damaged
property, it’ll be much easier
if you have an inventory of
everything you own – photos
or videotape are even better.
A few available tools:
The IRS’ Casualty,
Theft and Loss Workbook
(IRS Publication 584) includes a worksheet for cataloging and estimating the
value of your possessions.
The Insurance Information Institute maintains
a free, secure online home
inventory software application that lets you access your
home inventory, anywhere,
anytime (www.iii.org). Your
insurance company’s website
likely contains a downloadable inventory form.
Make sure you fully
understand what is and isn’t
covered by your insurance
policies for natural disasters.
You may need additional cov-
erage for damage associated
with hurricanes, tornados,
earthquakes and other weather conditions. Also:
Document any damage with photos or video before you start cleanup or repairs. Keep track of expenses
you incur to prevent further
damage, for temporary housing or to move your possessions for safekeeping, as they
may be reimbursable under
your insurance claim.
Don’t delay submitting your claim, since insurers often settle claims in the
order filed. FEMA provides
information on how you
might be able to get government assistance before, during and after a disaster at
www.disasterassistance.gov.
Bottom line: Develop a family emergency plan
now and make sure everyone
knows what to do when disaster strikes.

Q: The news media
heavily covered a local crime,
but the prosecutor wouldn’t
comment. Why not?
A: When a major
crime goes to trial in Ohio, the
county prosecutor will lead
the effort to prosecute. Prosecutors are elected Ohio officials, charged with the distinct
and challenging duty to seek
justice while keeping the public informed.
When a local prosecutor declines to comment on
a criminal case, it is more than
a personal decision to keep the
information to a minimum; it
is also a rule of professional
conduct in Ohio.
All Ohio lawyers
must abide by the Ohio Rules
of Professional Conduct. Violations may lead to sanctions,
including disbarment.
The rules limit what
lawyers can and cannot say
leading up to a trial in order to
safeguard the accused’s right
to a fair trial.
Potential jurors could
be tainted by a public statement of counsel, and the rules
are designed to prevent jurors
from learning any information
that may impair their ability to
be fair and impartial.
Q: Isn’t the prosecutor’s main duty to convict
criminals?
A: No. The prosecutor’s main duty is to seek
justice. Unlike a defense attorney, who represents a specific
client, the prosecutor must
make decisions affecting the
public interest as a whole.
This means that
the prosecutor has the duty
to prosecute those who the
prosecutor believes are
guilty of committing crimes
while also ensuring that the
proceedings are fair and that
justice is served.
Sometimes
this
means the prosecutor will
drop or reduce the charges
if the prosecutor believes the
suspect is innocent or there is
insufficient evidence of guilt.
Q: What kinds of
information can the prosecutor give to news reporters before a trial?
A: Before and during a trial, a prosecutor can
give media information that
is in the public record—information that citizens could
obtain for themselves. According to the Ohio Rules of
Professional Conduct, other
information the prosecutor
may provide to media includes:
• The identity, address and occupation of the
suspect;
• Information that
could be helpful in finding
a suspect who has not been
located or has escaped from
authorities;
• Warnings to the
public if the suspect is loose
and is believed to be a serious threat to the safety of
others;
• A plea to the public for any information that
may assist in the conviction
of a defendant.
Q: What are prosecutors prohibited from telling
the press before a trial?
A:
Prosecutors
should not:
• Comment on the
character, credibility, reputation or prior criminal record
of a suspect or witness before
the trial;
• Comment on any
potential guilty plea before it
occurs;
• Disclose the results
of any tests or examinations
given to the suspect or conducted on the evidence to be
presented, or the refusal or
failure of a person to submit
to a test or examination;
• Relate any confessions or other statements by
the suspect to police;
• Comment on the
guilt or innocence of a suspect;
• Discuss evidence
that they know will not be admissible in court.

This Saturday marks
the early onset of Spring- as
Daylight Saving Time indicates we turn our clock hands
one hour forward. While this
may come as a joy for some,
those who disdain mornings
view it as a curse.
According to research from The New England Journal Of Medicine,
rates of traffic accidents,
workplace accidents and
heart attacks rise the Monday after the daylight-saving,
sleep losing switch.
There is a new pill
on the market that can help
to combat the morning woes
and groans, before even getting into bed at night.
The
supplement
company Rise-N-Shine, has
created Wake Up On Time,
a proprietary blend of B vitamins, Amino Acids, Guarana
Seed Extract and Siberian
Ginseng that are geared to
address the psychological and
physical reasons why people
have trouble getting out of
bed in the morning.
The magic behind
the pills is the special coating
over the tablets to delay the
initial release of the ingredients.
The coating dissolves over time while you
sleep over and delivers its
benefits when you need them
most; when the alarm clock
rings.
“It’s more than a
vitamin, it’s time in a bottle
because, instead of hitting the
snooze button over and over
again, our product allows you
to bounce out of bed, ready
to go,” said Cathy Beggan,
founder of Rise-N-Shine
and creator of this supplement. Wake Up On Time
does have an important side
effect-it promotes singing
in the shower and getting to
work on time.
Steve Nagle, Morning Producer from WAQYFM/Springfield, MA, says:
“Wake Up On Time has
worked wonders for me. Before I started using it, I was
constantly feeling groggy in
the early morning. As I started taking Wake Up On Time,
I could feel the effects immediately. I now wake up feeling energized and refreshed,
and feel no need to hit the
snooze button.”
A patent is currently
pending. Wake Up On Time
is available at select stores
across the US, or you can
buy direct at www.wakeupontime.com.

Lucia Rijker to attend Hall Of Fame
The International Boxing Hall of Fame recently announced female boxing star Lucia Rijker will be in Canastota for festivities planned
for the 24th Annual Hall of Fame Induction Weekend set for June 6-9th.
Rijker will be making her first trip to “Boxing’s Hometown.” “Lucia Rijker was one of the top female fighters in boxing,” said Hall of Fame
director Edward Brophy. “Boxing fans will surely be excited to see ‘The
Dutch Destroyer’ in Canastota for the first time.” Born in Amsterdam,
Netherlands, Rijker made her boxing debut in 1996. During her career,
she posted an undefeated record of 17-0 (14 KOs) and was trained by Hall
of Famers Emanuel Steward and Freddie Roach. Rijker holds wins over
Chevelle Hallback, Andrea DeShong and Jane Couch. She captured the
WIBF super lightweight title in 1997 and the IBO light welterweight title
in 1998.
Cavs get unexpected gift with wins
the lead.
By KARL BRYANT
The Cavaliers, who
began March like a lamb - getting annihilated by the LA Clippers, were hoping to take on a
leonine likeness as the month
progressed. But, they lost
their next game, which they
should’ve won. Finally, they
were able to bare their claws,
as they managed to win one
they probably should’ve lost.
After the unforeseen win, a
pleasantly surprised Coach Byron Scott said, “Merry Christmas to us. We were lucky. That
was a gift.” Although glad, he
spoke about how hard it is for
a team to wake up and pull out
a win in the final minutes. Nevertheless, when it was pointed
out that six Cavs scored in
double figures, Scott smiled
and tsaid, “That’s how you win
basketball games.”
Now, getting back to
the disastrous game that began
the month, the Clippers came
into town and put on a highlight reel performance. After
a while, it eventually seemed
like the Cavs were acting like
Matadors – allowing Blake
Griffin and Co. pass-throughs
to the Cleveland basket. Ole!
The 105-89 loss would’ve
BlakeGriffinbullingpastMarreeseSpeightsduringLAClippersbeatdownofClevelandwith

been worse, except that the
Third Teams mopped up in the
4th quarter. Afterward, Griffin
generously said, “They have
a pretty nice team over there.
When they get Irving back,
that’ll help them. They’re only
another player away from com-
peting with the best teams in
the league.”
After that debacle
and a tongue lashing from
Scott, the Cavs came out roaring against the Knicks. Buoyed
by the return of Irving , they
opened up a 22-point lead.
All-Star
Carmello
Anthony went down with a
knee injury and never returned.
Unfortunately, everybody else took up the slack and
the Knicks overtook the Cavs
with nine minutes left to play
and never let the Cavs regain
Down by three with
six seconds left, the Cavs inbounded the ball to Irving,
who was covered like a glove
by 7’1” Tyson Chandler .
Instead of Plan B,
Irving tried the three anyway,
which was solidly blocked. A
foul at the buzzer and resultant free throws accounted for
the 102-97 final. Following the
game, Chandler said, “I knew
they were going to him. He
went for the three-point shot
and I kind of baited him into
shooting where I could still get
to it. We had to defend against
Miami yesterday, so we knew
we could do it when we needed
it today.” NY had lost to Miami
, 99-93.
Well, before NY’s
“D” woke up, the Cavs scored
34 points in the 1st quarter, but
only 36 in the entire 2nd half.
Marreese Speights, who was
10 for 10 in the 1st half, but
0 for 4 the rest of the way, led
the Cavs with 23 points. Irving
scored 22 and Luke Walton had
12 assists. Amar’e Stoudemire
led NY with 22. Two days
later, the Cavs posted a huge
104-101win over the Jazz.

chance to gain a share of the

schedule. In fact, if Michigan

stretching the lead to 12. However, C.J. Miles scored all 12 of
his points in the final stanza to
reduce the deficit to single digits.
The Cavs improbable
rally then began with about 2 ½
minutes left. They were down
eight, but led by Irving ’s eight
points, outscored Utah 12-1
the rest of the way. The eruption by Irving was unexpected
because he was a poor 4 of 13
shooting through 3 quarters scoring only 9 points. On the
strength of an 11 point 4th, he
finished with 20, while dishing
out 10 assists.
The game featured a
return to Quicken Loans Arena
of Old Friend Mo Williams,
who toiled as point guard here
for nearly three seasons. Williams, who was returning to
action for the Jazz after missing 32 games with an injury,
had eight points and six assists
in 27 minutes, but played a
key role in the final few seconds of the game. The Cavs
had finally taken a one-point
lead on Wayne Ellington’s
dunk with about a minute left.
After Irving again had a shot
blocked, with 12 seconds left,
Utah raced the ball downcourt.
With three seconds remaining,
Williams put up a would-be,
go-ahead lay-up that instead,
danced on the rim, and lipped
out. Utah purposefully fouled
Ellington, who made both
free throws to give the Cavs a
three-point edge. After a timeout, Williams got the ball again
and missed a long jumper at the
buzzer.
Gordon Hayward, the
driving force behind Butler’s
back-to-back NCAA National
Championship Game appearances, led Utah with 25 points,
but lost the ball to Irving, who
fed Ellington for that dunk that
gave the Cavs the lead with under a minute to go. Ellington
later commented, “It shows
that you never let up. Play
hard and don’t give up. We’re
still learning about each other
and this will make us a better
team.”
Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
NinoBenvenuticamefromadifferentmoldofItalians
Nino Benvenuti was
a celebrated Olympic hero
and undefeated as a professional until losing an extremely debatable verdict in
Korea. He came to New York
and captured the American
fans with his suave, arrogant
demeanor. He took two out of
three against the great Emile
Griffith and he was the middleweight champion of the
world. New York City fell in
love with him.
There was an impressive defense against the
capable Don Fullmer, brother
of Gene, who Nino dominated. There was a questionable
diqualification win against
Fraser Scott in a fight that
seemed to be going Scott’s
way.
We saw Benvenuti
come from behind to salvage
his title with a stunning one
punch knockout over the
legendary Luis Rodriguez.
He drew with rugged Doyle
Baird in a non-title contest at
the Akron Rubber Bowl, but
most people thought he lost.
He was unable to continue
in Australia against the tor-
Benvenuti
rid body attack of under rated
Tom “The Bomb” Bethea in
another non-title bout. To
Benvenuti’s credit he halted
Bethea in a title fight rematch
soon after. He also stopped
Baird in a non-title return.
Benvenuti had some
ill-advised thoughts about
moving up to challenge Bob
Foster for the light heavyweight crown. First he had
to get by former titleholder
Dick Tiger. The stronger Tiger handled Benvenuti with
ease, thus ending Benvenuti’s
illusion of competing against
Foster.
It looked like a safe
defense when he agreed to
meet ranked but undistinguished Carlos Monzon of
Argentina. The best thing on
the Monzon resume was a
draw with rugged American
Bennie Briscoe. This fight
marked the beginning of the
reign of “King Carlos.”
Monzon
outtoughed and outlasted Benvenuti to win the middleweight
crown via a 12th round
knockout. Benvenuti would
get a chance to regain his
former fame but before that
happened he lost a decision
to another Argentine warrior, Jose Chirino in a tune
up bout. Monnzon-Benvenuti
II was a total mismatch. The
bout was stopped in the third
round. This was the end of
Benvenuti’s career.
Looking back I remember my Italian boxing
heroes; Tony, Rocky, Jake,
Carmen and Tony. Throw in
a clever, but tough Giardello
and you can get a picture of
what I was looking for. Benvenuti didn’t fit the bill.
He was not of the
same mold. I’ve never seen
a fighter complain to the referee like Benvenuti used to.
Nevertheless looking back
at his career I’ve gained
more respect for his clever
boxing style. He had a good
jab and he was a fine counterpuncher. He was game
and had fierce pride. He
fought back hard when in
trouble and every now and
then he showed one punch
KO power.
After his career
ended Benvenuti became a
successful and highly distinguished businessman. He
was a color commentator for
boxing matches and remains
tremendously popular in
Italy. I was deeply touched
a few years back when Benvenuti helped out former foe
and fellow Hall Of Fame
member Emile Griffith. The
great Griffith had fallen on

WMJI Majic 105.7
FM recently announced today it will host the 2013
Moondog Coronation Ball
on Saturday, March 30th at
7:00 p.m. at Quicken Loans
Arena. This year’s event
will mark the 61st Anniversary of the original Moondog Coronation Ball held
at the Cleveland Arena in
1952. Moondog 2013 will
be presented by Runyon &
Sons Roofing in Association
with Klaben Autostores.
Moondog 2013
will feature The Doobie Brothers, Three Dog
Night, “The Temptations
Revue featuring Dennis
Edwards” and The Spencer
Davis Group. Tickets for
Moondog 2013 are $67.50,

Aside from a few
years of inactivity in the mideighties, The Doobie Brothers
have continued to perform,
create and record for more
than four decades including
their upcoming release, World
Gone Crazy. With founding
members Tom Johnston and
Pat Simmons, and 30 yearplus veterans, John McFee and
Michael Hossack, The Doobie
Brothers continue to honor the
band’s legacy. The group first
hit the charts in 1972 and since
then their songs have become
anthems for a generation and
include Listen To The Music,
Long Train Runnin’, China
Grove and Black Water.
Legendary
music
icons, Three Dog Night, celebrate their fourth decade
bringing with them some of
Edwards
the most astonishing statistics in popular music. From
1969-1974, no other group
achieved more top 10 hits,
moved more records or sold
more concert tickets than
Three Dog Night. With
such hits as Mama Told Me
(Not To Come), Joy To The
World, Black and White and
One, Three Dog Night had
21 consecutive Top 40 hits,
11 Top 10s, 18 straight Top
20s, seven million selling
singles and 12 straight RIAA
Certified Gold LPs. Dennis
Edwards was the first new
Temptation to enter the group
after their “classic five” heyday, when he replaced David
Ruffin as lead singer in July
1968. The Temptations officially introduced Edwards
on July 9, 1968 on stage in
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
With his rougher, gospelhewn vocals, Edwards led
the group through its psychedelic, funk, and disco periods; two of the Temptations
songs he appears on, “Cloud
Nine” (1968) and “Papa Was
a Rollin’ Stone” (1972), won
Grammy Awards. Edwards
was the lead singer on many
other Temptations hits, including “I Can’t Get Next To
You,” “Ball of Confusion,”
and “Psychedelic Shack.”
The Temptations became one
of the most successful Motown groups in the world.
Hailing from Wales, Spencer
founded the famed Spencer Davis Group in 1963,
producing a dozen top 10
hit songs, including Gimme
Some Lovin, Somebody
Help Me, I’m a Man and
Keep On Runnin, helping to
bring British rock ‘n roll to
the rest of the world.
Touring with The
Rolling Stones and The Who
when they were still working clubs, having after-hour
drinks with The Beatles,
jamming with John Baldry,
Charlie Watts and Long and
Jack Bruce were heady days
for Spencer. When the hits
started to come one after the
other, his momentum spurred
major U.S. success.

By NANCY ANN LEE
Warren Dodds
Wa r r e n "Ba b y "
Dodds was born December 24,
1898 in New Orleans.
A leading drummer
in the New Orleans style (and
the brother of clarinetists
Johnny Dodds), he worked in
the Crescent City with Bunk
Johnson, Pap Celestin, and
others before establishing his
reputation among musicians
with Fate Marable's riverboat
band from 1918 to 1921.
Dodds joined the
band of King Oliver in 1922
and, the next year, made his
first recordings with that band
is Chicago.
For the next 20 years,
Dodds remained in Chicago,
recording free-lance sessions
with Jelly Roll Morton and
Louis Armstrong (1927) and
playing in small groups led by
brother Johnny.
A revival of the New
Orleans sound around 1940
made Dodds a sought-after
musician by traditional jazz
groups led by Jimmie Noone,
Sidney Bechet, Bunk Johnson,
and others.
In the late '40s,
Dodds regularly played for
radio broadcasts and toured
Europe. Although ill health
affected his playing in the
final decade of his life, he
performed until 1957.
Dodds is credited
with teaching many young
Chicago drummers and created drum improvisation recordings that served as teaching
tools.
Dodds died in Chicago on February 14, 1959.
marred with misconceptions
of the life he truly lived and
the family he dearly loved. He
constantly walked a tightrope
between being who the world
expected him to be and who he
felt God called him to be. He
secretly suffered in silence from
the scars that women in his life
had inflicted on him and longed
for the true love they never supplied. He also inwardly battled
to stay true to who he was as a
person, safeguard his place in
musical history and not succumb to an industry and music
label that fought to turn him and
his world upside down. He was
Marvin Pentz Gaye and now a
theatrical drama that focuses
on the man behind the music
reemerges on stages across the
country--My Brother Marvin.
My Brother Marvin is
a gripping, riveting and dramatic
account of the life of the man
who transformed and revolutionized the landscape of soul music—Marvin Gaye. Everything
his label and lovers didn’t want
you to know, stories swept under
the rug about him and his family
and secrets once thought to be
buried with him and his mother
surface and are now revealed in
My Brother Marvin. The play
delves into the story that framed
the life and engineered the tragic
death of iconic soul legend Marvin Gaye. The play specifically
focuses on Marvin’s relationship
with his mother, father and siblings. The story is inspired by
and told from the vantage point

of Marvin’s sister Zeola “Sweetsie” Gaye.
My Brother Marvin
achieves what other offerings
have previously failed to do—
give the uncut, unadulterated,
untainted truth about Marvin
Gaye. The play also features
original music inspired by Marvin Gaye and the musical era he
influenced.
“Through the years, I
became taken aback and disappointed with everything that had
been written, said and published
about my family, especially my
brother Marvin that wasn’t accurate,” said Zeola Gaye. “In the
play, I simply wanted to set the
record straight. I wanted to leave
a true account about Marvin the
man and our family. People need
to know what really happened
and Marvin would want his fans
to really know what happened.
We are finally bringing the truth
the world needs and must know
.”
My Brother Marvin
the stage play was conceived
by Zeola Gaye. It is directed by
acclaimed actor Clifton Powell
(Next Friday, Ray, Dead Presidents) who also stars as Marvin
Gaye’s father in the show and is
being produced by Detroit Touring Group. My Brother Marvin
is written and adapted for the
stage by heralded urban theatre
playwright—Angela BarrowDunlap. Undoubtedly, BarrowDunlap is the premiere and most
acclaimed writer, director, producer in the urban theatre circuit
to date. My Brother Marvin is
just one of many hit shows she’s
been at the helm of creatively.
Her other works have included
Real Men Pray, I Won’t Be The
Other Woman, Why Do Good
Girls Like Bad Boyz?, If These
Hips Could Talk, Gossip, Lies
& Secrets, My Sweet Potato Pie
and Church Girl.
Not only has BarrowDunlap launched and successfully toured hit shows, but she’s
also cast some of Hollywood’s
heaviest hitters and most loved
African-American actors in her
shows including legendary actors Billy Dee Williams and the
late Sherman Hemsley of The
Jeffersons’ fame, actresses Robin Givens, LisaRaye and Tichina
Arnold, actor Boris Kodjoe and
singers Charlie Wilson of The
Gap Band, Angie Stone and
Ginuwine. My Brother Marvin
stars Grammy nominated R&B

- April 14, to the I-X Center
in Cleveland. This annual
springtime event offers a
full day of smiles, thrills and
family fun, all at a budgetfriendly price that is lower
than last year.
Great news - prices have dropped in 2013
to make the I-X Indoor
Amusement Park one of the
best entertainment values
around. And, there is more
fun to be had this year
as the I-X Indoor Amusement Park is open more
days and more hours to

Zipper and flip around as
you rotate through the air.
