Conservation as important Gun Rights for sportsmen
Threats to conservation are a priority for Ohio’s hunters and anglers on par with gun rights, according to a national
poll recently released. While sportsmen tend to be conservative
politically, the poll found that many are split-ticket and independent voters who want to know where the candidates stand on the
issue of protecting wildlife and habitat. Matt Misicka, former
president of the Central Ohio Anglers and Hunters Club, says
sportsmen understand better than most the value of conservation, and their opinions should not be taken for granted. He says
the ways outdoor recreation boosts the state’s economy cannot
be denied.

much of the debate that implies people are “victims,” or

“COVERING THE NEWS TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW”
Rev. Moss inducted into Hall of Fame
By GEORGE GOLDMAN
Greater Cleveland Congregations (GCC) is a non-partisan coalition of faith communities and collaborations in
Cuyahoga County for the purpose of building power for social justice. GCC unities people without regard to race, religion,
or class to work together to improve and strengthen neighborhoods. The GCC recently held a voter registration at the Justice Center and was able to register 20 people. Sarah Sherros and Lillian Sherrod helped register the voters. (ESDN Photo

Muslims decry media portrait of followers
By NADRA K. NITTLE
Irrational. Violent. Fanatics.
Members of the MuslimAmerican community say mainstream
media in the West use these words
consistently to portray followers of Islam. News coverage of uprisings in the
Arab world over the American-made
video that disparaged the Prophet Muhammad has perpetuated the negative
stereotypes.
While the Arab outcry over
the video “Innocence of Muslims”
has certainly inspired a violent streak,
advocates for the Muslim community
say mainstream media have failed
to report that only small numbers of
Muslims are involved in the unrest.
In the most prominent violence, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three American colleagues were killed in an attack on the
U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on
Sept. 11. Initial reports attributed the
attack to protests against the video, but
U.S. officials subsequently described
the event as a terrorist attack.
The advocates also say
mainstream media have failed miserably at explaining why the film is an
insult to followers of Islam.
Aymen Abdel Halim, communications coordinator for the Chicago branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says issues of
Newsweek and Time magazines were
particularly objectionable.
Newsweek’s cover story on
September 24 was headlined “Muslim Rage” above a photo of an angry
crowd in Islamic dress. Time’s cover
that week was headlined “The Agents
of Outrage: An Embassy attacked.
Diplomats murdered. The new calculus of violence against America.”
Behind the headline was a photo of an
angry mob.
“It’s a lot of the same imagery we’ve seen in the past,” Halim
says. “It’s imagery that has demonized
Muslims and perpetuated stereotypes.”
Yasmin Hussein, young leaders program coordinator of the Muslim
Public Affairs Council in Washington
and Los Angeles, agrees. She says the
media’s tendency toward sensationalism hasn’t helped to counter the American public’s misconceptions about
Islam. “A bunch of people protesting,
doing crazy stuff obviously makes for
really good news,” she says, adding
that it fails to tell the full story.
That story in this case, Halim
says, is that uprisings in the Arab world
over “Innocence of Muslims” were not
widespread. He says mainstream media
have mistakenly compared recent Middle East unrest to the Arab Spring of
2011. But while hundreds of thousands
of people revolted then, only a couple
thousand people have participated in
the current public outcry in Muslim nations, he said
“It’s being depicted as something much larger than it actually is,”
Halim said, adding that the media have
“kind of painted Muslims and Islam
with a broad brush.”
That includes ignoring various factors leading to Arab demonstrations. Halim says the demonstrations
aren’t solely about the video, which
depicted the Prophet Muhammad as
sexually promiscuous, a drunk and a
pedophile. They also stem, he says,
from effects of U.S. policy on the Arab
world and the fact that countries such
as Libya remain devastated a year after
the United States helped to rid it of despotMoammar Gadhafi.
Experts say mainstream
media have failed to provide comprehensive reports on the variety of
reasons that the Muslim world resents
the West and have not addressed why
“Innocence of Muslims” has angered
Muslims. Deana A. Rohlinger, associate professor of sociology at Florida
State University, says many Americans

don’t realize that free speech isn’t a right
in many countries throughout the world,
especially in Muslim nations.
“We have this very narrow
understanding of what it means to be a
Muslim, what a Muslim looks like, what
a Muslim does,” she said. “In some parts
of the Muslim world, they see a film like
this and assume it’s backed by the U.S.
government.” The idea that the United
States was complicit in the film’s making
is one factor that has driven the violent
protests.
Junaid Afeef, a Chicago-based
attorney, activist and self-described “patriotic American” who runs the website
“An American Muslim Journal,” says he
has found it difficult to explain to Muslim
cousins abroad that the U.S. government
doesn’t infringe on artistic freedom.
Afeef points out that many
Muslims abroad have expressed support for the United States and expressed
regret for the death of Stevens. He says
that some have displayed signs expressing these sentiments but that the media
have largely ignored this segment of the
Muslim community.
Meanwhile, Hussein says
mainstream media have largely ignored
releases from her organization condemning acts of violence, such as the consulate attack. But the bigger issue, she says,
is that the media largely ignore Muslims
overall, unless war or reckless violence
is the subject.
“There needs to be more coverage of Muslim-Americans who are
really making an effort to have a positive impact on the country,” Hussein
says. “Muslim athletes, Muslim attorneys, Muslims who are part of everyday
America. These stories need to be told to
humanize Muslims.”

After 50 years ago, Rev
Otis Moss Jr. still vividly remembers the day he was arrested while taking part in a peaceful demonstration for justice.
According to Rev.
Moss, it was at the Capitol
building, the state of Georgia,
Atlanta, when he was first arrested fighting against racism,
segregation, hatred and bigotry.
He was arrested that day and
taken to jail.
Moss, 77, the former
pastor of Cleveland’s Olivet Institutional Baptist Church, was
at the Ohio State House Atrium
being heralded as a trailblazer
for his efforts championing civil
rights, which have made him a
highly regarded national figure.
Moss is among the
fourth class of inductees to the
hall of fame. Other inductees
this year include: retired Columbus Police Chief James G. Jackson and the Rev. Damon Lynch
Jr. and former State Rep. William Mallory Sr., both of Cincinnati.
The late famed Olympian Jesse Owens of Cleveland
was also honored, as was the
late Richard Maxwekk of Columbus, who founded an aorganization to increase accessible
living options for people who
used wheelchairs, and the Ohio
Tuskegee Airmen chapters in
Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.
Ohio governer John
Kasich attended the event with
other state officials.
Trauma
Whether it’s physical
abuse, the loss of a parent or another disturbing event, traumatic
experiences cal leave a lasting
mprint on a child’s mental and
physical health. In Ohio, efforts
are underway to better help those
affected by a traumatic event.
Franklin County Children Services just recieved a federal grant which their Director of
Community Services, Kythryn
Carr Hurd, says will allow them
to better identify trauma up front
and put the resources in place to
treat victims.
“If we have a better assessment on the front end, then we
can do a much better job at getting
those kids linked to behavorial
health care or other services that
are going to improve their wellbeing and their ability to function
and develop and grow.”
Through the grant, the
organization will examine ways
to better screen children for trauma and figure out what type of
trauma- informed practices and
services willbe most effective for
the health and well-being of these
children.”
Moss
Moss retired from Olivet
in 2009 after three decades of service.
While leading the church,
he hosted distinguished leaders
such as Presidents Jimmy Carter
and Bill Clinton. In 2009 he joined
Rajmohan Gandhi, grandson of
Mahatma Gandhi on a tour of India speaking on sicial justice and
nonviolence,
Moss, who was born in
Georgia, served as a young minister on the board of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference.
And in the 1960s he was co-pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church
in Atlanta alongside the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King., the country’s
most celebrated civil rights leader.
Former Cleveland U.S
Rep. Louis Stokes was in Columbus on Thursday to watch his
friend be recognized.
After the ceremony,
Moss said the country has changed
and the fight for civil rights is different, but there still remain deep
challenges and more work ahead
for equality.
Shaakira Dorsey dies after fight

Missionary Baptist Church, 5713
Kinsman Road, at 10 a.m. There

Street to be named for George L. Forbes
Forbes
In the works is a street to
be named to honor former Council
President George Forbes.
Councilman Jeff Johnson
wants to honor Forbes for his service to Cleveland.
Despite that Forbes once
called Johnson a “mulatto punk”
and picked up a chair to hit him in
1986.
Despite our personal
problems in the late 1980s, he
was always someone I respected
and learned from,” Johnson said
in an email. “His commitment has
always been to improve the lives
of African-Americans and other
Cleveland citizens. His love for
the African-American community
is unquestionable. Despite his haters., he remains relevant today.”
Johnson had intended to
introduce legislation this month
ceremonially naming St. Clair Avenue from East Boulevard to Eddy
Road in Glenville to hor Forbes.
But he’s holding off now
until next year.
“We are considering a
more citywide honor and decided
to do it during his 50-year anniversary of being first elected” as a
councilman in 1963, he said.
Social Security field offices to close earlier
Service for face-to-face
hours for people visiting Social Security Administration field offices
will be cut by 30 minutes starting
Nov. 19.
Mary Glenn-Croft, deputy
commissioner for the Social Security
Administration, recently issued a nationwide memo that said beginning
Monday, November 19, field offices
will be closed to the public at
3 p.m.- 30 minutes earlier. The
new hours will be 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. weekdays.
Hours will be further
reduced on Wednesdays starting
January 2, when offices will be
closing at noon. She also said
in the memo those hours will be
standard across the nation.
The changes affect all
eight Social Security offices in
Cuyahoga County.
“These changes will allow field office employees, who
will continue to work their regular
hours, to complete interviews and
claims work without using overtime,” GlennCroft said in closing
her memo.
On August 15 last year,
Social Security Commissioner
Michael J. Astrue made his concern with overtime issues clear by
reducing public hours from 9 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. weekdays instead of 4
p.m. The agency in Cleveland has
had problems in the past completing disability claims, which meant
employees had to work overtime.

(NAPS)—Sleep is a
wonderful thing, but for many
people, getting that sleep can
prove elusive. Tried-and-true
tips include keeping a regular schedule, getting enough
daily exercise and creating
a relaxing bedtime routine,
but a new approach to sleeping soundly suggests that the
right blanket can be instrumental in getting plenty of
zzzz’s.
For some people,
the tried-and-true tips simply don’t work. That was the
case for the founders of Mosaic Weighted Blankets™.
Beth Peacock had interrupted
sleep due to restless leg syndrome and her friend Laura
LeMond had a history of sensory issues that kept her from
getting enough shut-eye.
For years, LeMond
stacked pillows and even
books on her feet to fall
asleep. That’s when she realized that using weighted therapy would be a good solution
for people with sleep and
sensory processing disorders,
autism, ADHD and anxiety.
LeMond and Peacock developed Mosaic
Weighted Blankets (www.
mosaicweightedblankets.

of soothing blankets, wraps
and lap pads. They believe
their blankets are one of the
newest sleep remedies to help
children, teens and adults

Islam In The Community
Ramadan: Training is discipline for Muslims
Editor’s Note: The
Holy Month of Ramadan
starts on Aug 1, and last for
30 days.
By I.ABDUR-RAZZAAQ
Bismillah-hir Rahman-ir Rahim- ( In the Name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful )
Anyone who is familiar with Muslims fasting
during the month of Ramadan
is aware that from sunrise to
sunset Muslims abstain from
food and drink.
For Muslims the
month of Ramadan is also
a time to intensify in worship, charity, recitation of the
Qur’an, and good deeds.
In Maulana Muhammad Ali’s The Religion of Islam, the author elucidates that
by observing the fast, a Muslim
will gain spiritual, moral and
physical discipline while at
the same time increasing their
closeness to Allah (swt).
Someone who is not
familiar with the significance
of saum (fasting) or abstaining may not understand how
giving up food and drink could
inculcate any sort of discipline.
Fasting is first and
foremost a way to gain spiritual discipline.
There are several
ways to nullify the fast.
During the hours of
the fast, eating, drinking, and
conjugal relations with the
spouse are prohibited.
So what prevents the
faster from sneaking and eating?
He or she submits
because of the belief that
Allah(swt) has commanded
him or her not to do so.
The saying that ‘man
does not live by bread alone is
a reality that is experienced by
Muslims when they fast.
Muslims engage
in performing extra prayers
aside from the five obligatory
prayers, they read the Qur’an
in toto, and perform dhikr (re-
A Look At My World
membrance of Allah) through
words and phrases in praise of
Allah, throughout the day.
Many Muslims have
reached such a level of Godconsciousness that to even
think of intentionally doing
something to break the fast is
inconceivable.
This conviction, that
one must submit to Allah’s
command in order to gain a
nearness to Him is thus reinforced and carries over to be
practiced the rest of the year.
The moral training
that a Muslim gains while
fasting is indispensable in tis
life and the next.
Muslims believe that
the path to Hell is surrounded
by things that are easy and the
path to Paradise is surrounded
by things that are hard.
When a person has
trained him or herself to deny
themselves things that are at
other times lawful, then it becomes easier to abstain from
things that are forbidden.
Another facet of the
moral training that a Muslim
acquires while fasting is that he
or she increases in performing
charitable acts.
The Prophet (pbuh)
was the most generous of all
people and in Ramadan he
exceeded his own generosity.
During Ramadan
Muslims follow this example
by hosting meals at the time
of iftar (break fast) feeding the
indigent, and performing other
acts of goodwill.
When a person is able
to take control of himself or
herself (nafs) and make correct
decisions, then this extends
to their environment around
them, and they thus become a
catalyst for change.
The physical discipline one attains while fasting
is no small accomplishment,
nor isit insignificant.
When a person is able
to handle at regular intervals,
they are more capable of withstanding physical hardships.
For example, if all of
the food sosurces were to cease
to exist tomorrow who would
survive, the person who eats
five meals a day (three melas
and two snacks)?
In a hadith (traditional of the Prophet (pbuh) it
is stated “ Fasting is a shield,
so let the man who fasts not
indulgr in any foul speech
or do any evil deed, and if
any one fights or quarrels
with him, he should say,
I am fasting.
By Him Who holds
my soul in HIs hand, thr breath
of the fasrer is pleasanter with
Alah than the scent of musk”
(Sahih Bukkari).
In another hadith it is
said “Whoever does not give
up lying and acting falsely,
Allah does not stand in need of
his giving up food and drink”
(Sahih Bukkari).
When one is able to
abstain from lying, foul language, excessive anger, acting
unfaithfully, eating and drining
while reaping the benefit of acquiring the before mentioned
disciplines, then they have
truly attained success and Allah (swt) knows best.
The American Planning Association (APA) recently announced the designation of Shaker Boulevard
as one of 10 Great Streets for
2012 under the organization’s
Great Places in America
program. APA Great Places
exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role
planning and planners play in
adding value to communities,
including fostering economic
growth and jobs.
APA singled out
Shaker Boulevard for its enduring design, multi-modal
transportation options, engaged citizens who have
fought to preserve the street’s
integrity, and surrounding
community uses. This 6.75mile stretch, between Cleveland, Shaker Heights and
I-271, has carried millions
of travelers over its 100-plus
year history.
“It is indeed an
honor that Shaker Boulevard,
one of Cleveland’s many revitalized areas, has been designated as one of America’s
Great Streets,” said Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson. “For more than eight
decades, Shaker Square has
stood out as one of Cleveland’s truly ‘great places.’
The development that has occurred in more recent years
on Shaker Boulevard is indicative of what is happening
throughout the city of Cleveland and a true example of
where the city and its neighborhoods are headed.”
Said Shaker Heights
Mayor Earl M. Leiken, “The
2012 APA designation of
Shaker Boulevard as a Great
Street is especially fitting in
the city of Shaker’s centennial year. The boulevard reflects the best of our city’s
unique characteristics – light
rail transit, lush, tree-lined
streets, and grand homes built
during the apex of American
architecture.”
Beachwood Mayor
Merle S. Gorden said, “Shaker Boulevard continues to
be a vital and efficient connecting route that promotes
regionalism and economic
growth within the cities of
Beachwood, Shaker Heights
and Cleveland. In addition
to its economic attributes,
Shaker Boulevard is also aesthetically pleasing and contributes greatly to the allure
and great urban vibe of this
part of Greater Cleveland.”
Through Great Places in America, APA recognizes streets, neighborhoods,
and public spaces featuring
unique and authentic characteristics that have evolved
from years of thoughtful
and deliberate planning by
residents, community lead-
ers and planners. The 2012
Great Places illustrate how
the foresight of planning fosters tomorrow’s communities and they have many of
the features Americans say
are important to their “ideal
community” including locally owned businesses, transit, neighborhood parks, and
sidewalks.
“Shaker Boulevard
is an outstanding example
of planning’s ability to add
lasting value to communities
that plan, design and build
thoroughfares that are both
functional and beautiful,”
said APA Chief Executive
Officer Paul Farmer, FAICP.
“True to its founders’ vision,
Shaker Boulevard remains
as attractive for commuters
today as it was during the
1920s and 1930s. The boulevard has balanced parks, trees
and an open median with the
built environment for nearly
a hundred years because citizens challenged inappropriate development proposals.”
One of those institutions – the Nature Center at
Shaker Lakes – was the upshot of residents’ three-year
effort to defeat a 1963 freeway proposal that would have
cut through Shaker Boulevard, razing 1,400 homes and
105 commercial properties.
Educational,
recreational
and religious institutions are
found in abundance along the
street as its developers, O.P.
and M.J. Van Sweringen, offered free land to nonprofits willing to relocate from
Cleveland to the garden-like
suburb of Shaker Heights.
To strengthen the
appeal of their new suburb,
the Van Sweringen brothers
opened a rapid transit line in
1913, expanding it two years
later. They then acquired a
controlling interest in the
Nickel Plate Railroad in order to extend and enhance
the rail service along Shaker
Boulevard’s median. Today,
the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority light
rail utilizes those lines.
The award-winning
rail station at Shaker Square,
which anchors the western
end of this Great Street, features two brick-and-glass
Georgian-style pavilions, designed to match the square’s
existing architecture.
That includes Moreland Courts, a luxury condominium complex, where
details from five English
architectural periods – Late
Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan,
Jacobean and Georgian – appear on the façades of its 15
six- and eight-story buildings.
When the complex opened in
Cleveland in the late 1920s,
Shaker Heights’ zoning code
did not allow for apartments.
Those restrictions have since
been eased.
A 1973 proposal to
build a high-rise apartment
building over one of the boulevard’s light rail stations
galvanized Shaker Heights’
residents.
They successfully
argued that the building
would be inappropriate. Residents later fought a proposal
to build low-density housing
along the boulevard’s median, citing several negative
impacts and the potential of
such a precedent to open the
median up to additional development.
Today, Shaker Bou-
levard runs through two
landmark areas – the Shaker
Square Historic District and
Shaker Village Historic District, added to the National
Register in 1976 and 1984,
respectively.
Major north-south
thoroughfares intersect Shaker Boulevard every half mile,
minimizing traffic congestion and contributing to its
park-like environment.
An old advertisement from the Van Sweringen Company says, “Most
communities just happen; the
best are planned.” The same
can be said for the firm’s signature roadway, Shaker Boulevard.

Dr. JAMES L. SNYDER
Okay, right up front
I want to confess that I am an
old fogey. In my defense, as
if I needed one, I was born
an old fogey. I have what
may be called old-fogeyitis,
a rare psychological disorder
only affecting people born of
woman.
For many years, I
beat myself over the head
because I did not understand
old fogeyitis syndrome. Years
ago, I have learned to accept
it, whether others accept it
or not is not my problem. It
was a wonderful day when I
realized I could have a lot of
other things much worse than
old-fogeyitis.
Just this week I saw
an article in the picture of
supposedly the ugliest woman in the world. As I looked
at her picture, it reminded
me of one of my old aunts. I
know I’m not the “prettiest”
face in town but I wasn’t born
this way. My face is the result of the stress through the
years from the old-fogeyitis
syndrome.
One of the amazing
traits of this syndrome is the
marvelous selective memory.
My memory is so good I can
remember things that never
happened. Some people look
at me when I recall one of
these pseudo-memories as if
I was senile. Oh no. It is not
senility it is old-fogeyitis.
I really did not know
how bad it was until this
past week. My oldest granddaughter was playing softball
and invited me to come and
watch her first game. She
made me one of those “offers
that I couldn’t refuse.” It has
been a longtime since I seen
a slow pitch softball game
much less played in one.
I remembered those
glorious days of yesteryear
when I played slow pitch
softball. According to my
memory, I was the star pitcher on my team. What memories they were. Since they are
my memories, I feel I have
the right to make them what
I want them to be.
The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, our
youngest daughter and her
daughter joined me as we
watched my granddaughter’s
first game.
We brought our own
chairs so we were able to set
up our seating arrangements
where we could watch our
granddaughter play her first
game. I am not prejudiced,
but from where we were sitting, she was the star player
on her team. I am not sure
how her team could ever get
along without her.
It is my humble
opinion that greatness like
this is inherited. You do not
learn that kind of thing on
your own, it is something
that is passed down to you
through your genes. I must
have passed it on to her because I do not have it anymore.
It was then that I
saw it, which kicked in the
old-fogeyitis
syndrome.
What I saw shocked me and
it takes a lot to shock me.
Up to this point, I
was primarily focused on my
granddaughter and her pristine playing on the field, so I
did not see right away what
I eventually saw. It happened
when my granddaughter
stepped up to bat for the first
time. After that, the whole
game went blank for me.
Behind my lovely
granddaughter was the catcher all dressed in the catcher’s

outfit. That did not startle me.
Behind the catcher was the
umpire, or so he was pretending to be, and that is what
startled me.
It was a girl’s slow
pitch softball team and every
one of them was dressed in
their softball player’s outfit.
I believe in dressing for the
occasion. The occasion was
a softball game and those involved in the softball game
were wearing attire consistent with the game at hand.
Then I saw the umpire. And the umpire was
wearing shorts! Shorts!
It is not that I object to a man wearing shorts
as long as he does not wear
them out in public. The last
time I wore shorts I was three
years old and it was only because my mother made me
wear them. When I had control of my wardrobe, I put
away those shorts and began
wearing pants like a man.
I think if the good
Lord wanted us to wear
shorts, in public that is, He
would have made our legs
more visually appealing. A
man’s legs are not appealing,
unless they have been in the
sun too long and the skin begins to peel.
A man, especially an
old man, has knobby knees,
hairy legs and varicose veins
none of which should be part
of public domain. This is not
something I want to see when
I am out in public.
I can dutifully attest
to the fact that my legs have
not seen direct sunlight in
over 50 years. I attribute this
to the fact that I wear pants
every day of my life. Not
short pants, but pants that
go all the way down to my
ankles. Short pants look like
you cannot afford to buy the
whole thing. For some reason
I could not watch the game
with the same enthusiasm.
When I got home
that night I settled down a little bit and thought of a verse
of Scripture, something Jesus
said. “Judge not according
to the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment” ( John
7:24 KJV ).
In spite of my severe old-fogeyitis condition,
I must remember not to judge
people according to their appearance. It is not what a man
looks like but rather, what he
does that makes him the man
that he is.

Witness intimidation is a criminal action Probate Court can order drug and alcohol treatment
By JUSTICE PAUL E. PFEIFER
This case started
with an extended chase and
altercation that involved a
man named Tracy Davis, and
a sheriff’s deputy. The chase
ended when Davis drove his
ex-wife’s minivan within feet
of the deputy, who was on
foot. The deputy was injured
trying to dodge the vehicle as
he fired at Davis.
Davis got away and
made it to his ex-wife’s place.
Once there, he changed out
of his bloodstained clothes
and tried to conceal the damage to the minivan. He also
warned his ex-wife that she
should lie about the incident
or he would kill her and blow
up her apartment.
Despite his efforts
to flee, Davis was eventually
caught and indicted on four
counts: one count of felonious assault of a peace officer,
two counts of tampering with
evidence, and one count of
intimidation of a witness.
A jury found Davis
guilty of one of the counts
of tampering with evidence
(relating to taping over bullet holes in the minivan) and
one count of intimidation of
a witness. It found him not
guilty of the second count of
tampering (relating to efforts
to conceal bloodstains on his
clothes). But a mistrial was
declared with respect to the
assault charge after the jury
failed to reach a verdict.
The trial court sentenced Davis to two years on
the tampering-with-evidence
conviction and four years on
the intimidation-of-a-witness
conviction. The sentences
were to be served concurrently, followed by three years of
post-release control.
Afterward, Davis
filed an appeal, arguing that
the conviction of witness intimidation was not supported
by sufficient evidence and
that it was against the manifest weight of the evidence.
He made the same claim
about the conviction for tampering with evidence.
The court of appeals
affirmed the conviction of
tampering with evidence, but
it vacated Davis’s conviction
of witness intimidation. After
the court of appeals ruling,
the state filed an appeal here
— at the Supreme Court of
Ohio — asking us to review
the witness intimidation conviction.
The law in question
— the “witness intimidation
law” — says that no person,
by force or by unlawful threat
of harm “shall attempt to influence, intimidate, or hinder
… an attorney or witness involved in a criminal action or
proceeding in the discharge
of the duties of the attorney
or witness.” For the purposes
of this case, the critical language is the phrase “involved
in a criminal action or proceeding.” (The term “criminal action” appears throughout the Ohio legal code. It
does not mean the act of
committing a crime. Rather,
it refers to a formal process
involving a court in criminal
proceedings.)
In 2009, our court
reviewed the witness intimidation law in a case called
State v. Malone. In that case,
we addressed an issue regarding the requirements for qualifying as a witness under the
terms of the law.
The Malone case
involved a rape. Shortly after
committing the rape, Malone
threatened a woman who had
observed the crime as it oc-
curred. At the time the threat
was made, the rape victim
had not yet reported the
crime. Because the witness
intimidation law “requires a
witness’s involvement in a
criminal action or proceeding, not his or her potential
involvement,” we concluded
that the woman who observed the crime was not
yet a witness when she was
threatened.
In Malone, we held
that a conviction for intimidation of a witness under the
witness intimidation law “is
not sustainable when the intimidation occurred after the
criminal act but prior to any
proceedings flowing from
the criminal act in a court of
justice.” Malone’s threat occurred long before the threat
victim qualified as a witness
under the law, so the law did
not apply. Our decision in
Malone stands for the proposition that a “criminal action
or proceeding” — as it is described in the witness intimidation law — requires the
formal initiation of proceedings such as criminal charges
or grand jury proceedings,
not merely the investigation
of the crime.
In Davis’s case, a
police investigation had begun before he threatened his
ex-wife. In fact, because the
victim was a sheriff’s deputy,
the police were immediately
aware of the acts leading to
Davis’s felonious-assault
charge. But even though they
were immediately aware of
his assault, no “criminal action or proceeding” was initiated until later, when the
state filed charges against
Davis. Therefore, no “criminal action or proceeding”
was under way at the time of
the threat, and thus the wit-
Q: My 21-year-old
daughter, who lives alone,
suffers from the effects of
alcohol abuse. She refuses to
get treatment, and I fear for
her safety. Is there any way to
get her into treatment despite
her refusal?
A: Yes. On March
22, 2012, Ohio Senate Bill
117 became effective. This
law includes a provision allowing a probate court to order involuntary treatment for
a person suffering from alcohol or other drug abuse, as
long as certain procedures are
followed. A spouse, relative or
guardian may initiate this proceeding.
Q: How would I go
about asking the court to order
treatment for my daughter?
A: First, you would
file a petition with the probate
court and pay any fee that may
be charged for filing an affidavit saying you are seeking
your daughter’s hospitalization. Your petition must include certain information that
must be verified by the court,
including a doctor’s statement
about your daughter’s need
for treatment (unless she has
refused to see a doctor about
her condition).
The law gives the
probate court “exclusive jurisdiction” to hear and determine
such petitions. This means
that only the probate court can
consider your petition, order
treatment for your daughter,
and take other actions allowed
by law regarding involuntary
treatment for someone suffering from alcohol or other drug
abuse.
Q: What happens
once the probate court receives my petition?
A: After having received your petition and filing fee (if any), the court must
examine you under oath about
what is included in your petition. After reviewing the allegations in your petition, the
court must decide if there is
“probable cause” to believe
your daughter may reasonably

ness intimidation law does
not apply.
Justice Yvette McGee Brown, who wrote the
majority opinion for this
case, said that the witness
intimidation law “prohibits
the intimidation of a person
who observes a crime after
the initiation of proceedings
flowing from the criminal
act in a court of justice. But a
police investigation, without
more, is not a proceeding in
a court of justice, and it does
not invoke the protection” of
the witness intimidation law
for a person who observes
the crime.
We therefore concluded — by a 6-1 vote
— that the court of appeals
correctly determined that insufficient evidence existed
to convict Davis for witness
intimidation based upon his
threat to his ex-wife.
In her closing remarks, McGee Brown said,
“We do not arrive at this
conclusion lightly. Threats to
prospective witnesses cause
real harm to the administration of justice, as we recognized in Malone. But we
are limited by the language
chosen by the General Assembly to define the crime of
witness intimidation, and we
cannot apply that language
to conduct” that is outside
the witness intimidation law.
However, as Justice
Evelyn Lundberg Stratton
observed in her dissent, this
case will have limited impact because the General Assembly has since chosen to
amend the witness intimidation law to cover these situations. Going forward, “potential and real witnesses to a
crime will now be protected
regardless of the status of
any legal proceedings.”
Weekly Wealth For Your Health
When seniors citizens need financial assistance
By JASON ALDERMAN
When the last national census was taken in
2010, 48 percent of the population was classified as poor
or low-income (earning less
than 200 percent of the poverty level). Anyone who’s
ever tried to live on a low
income knows how difficult
it can be to make ends meet
when cost increases for essentials like healthcare, housing, food and energy outpace
their earnings.
This can be especially challenging for seniors
living on a fixed income.
The good news is
there are literally thousands
of federal, state and private
assistance programs designed
to help seniors and others
cover their basic needs. Your
challenge might be finding
ones for which you’re eligible. Here are a few suggestions:
The nonprofit National Council on Aging offers BenefitsCheckUp (www.
benefitscheckup.org), a free,
confidential web-based service that helps seniors and
their caregivers find financial assistance for healthcare,
housing, food, utilities, and
in-home services. After answering several questions,
you’re issued a personalized
report describing programs
and services for which you
may be eligible, including
links to their websites and
applications.
Several
government-sponsored programs
help people with limited income and resources pay for
medical coverage, including
Medicaid and Medicare. For
a good round-up of these programs, go to www.medicare.
gov and click on “Get Financial Help.”
Most pharmaceutical companies offer patient
assistance programs (PAPs)
that provide uninsured and
low-income people access
to prescription drugs they
couldn’t otherwise afford.
Ask your doctor, pharmacist or health clinic for details. Other good resources
include: Medicare’s alphabetical list of drugs available
through PAPs (www.medicare.gov/pap/index.asp);
Partnership for Prescription
Assistance (www.pparx.org);
RxAssist
(www.rxassist.
org); and NeedyMeds (www.
needymeds.com).
In addition, as a result of the Affordable Care
Act, Medicare Part D participants who reach the so-called
doughnut hole coverage gap
now receive a 50 percent
discount on brand-name
prescription drugs and a 14
percent discount on generics.

The IRS tax code
includes several benefits that
target seniors (and often, other lower-income taxpayers),
including:
A higher standard
deduction amount for most
people who don’t itemize deductions if they and/or their
spouse are over 65 or blind.
An additional tax
credit for lower-income
people who are over 65 or
disabled and file a 1040 or
1040A tax form. (For full details and eligibility, see IRS
Publication 524 at ww

Free tax return preparation
assistance and counseling
from IRS-trained volunteers
is available to people over
age 60, as well as low-tomoderate income folks and
military families.
IRS Publication 554 provides comprehensive help
for seniors to prepare their
tax returns.
Many governmentsponsored benefits, grants
and financial aid programs
exist to help seniors, low-income families and others pay
their bills, including:

court finds probable cause, it
will conduct a hearing to determine if there is “clear and
convincing evidence” that
your daughter may reasonably benefit from treatment.
The court will also consider
the recommendations of a
qualified health professional who has examined your
daughter and can certify that
she meets the criteria for involuntary treatment.
Q: If the health professional certifies to the court
that my daughter should receive involuntary treatment,
what happens next?
A: If the probate
court finds “by clear and
convincing evidence” that
your daughter presents an
“imminent threat of danger”
to herself, her family or others, and that she would reasonably benefit from treatment, the court may order
your daughter to be hospitalized for this treatment.
Q: Does my daughter have any rights in this
matter?
A: Yes. Your daughter has a right to legal counsel and to have an independent expert evaluation of her
physical and mental condition. Also, if your daughter is hospitalized during
the proceeding because the
court finds that she presents
an “imminent threat of danger” to herself, her family, or
others, then the court must
inform your daughter that
she may immediately make a
reasonable number of phone
calls or use other reasonable
means to contact an attorney
(or someone who can help
her secure legal counsel), a
licensed physician or a qualified health professional, or to
get medical or psychological
help. Your daughter would
receive help in making calls
if she needs help and asks for
it.
Q: What if my
daughter refuses to be examined before the court hearing, or refuses to go to the
hospital even after the court
has ordered it?
A: The law authorizes the probate court to issue
a summons if your daughter
fails to attend an examination
scheduled before the hearing. The summons must be
directed to your daughter and
must command her to appear
at a particular time and place.
The summons also will say
that, if your daughter fails to
appear at the examination or
the hospital, the court may
order the sheriff or any other
peace officer to transport her
to a hospital from a list the
law provides.
Q: Who decides
which hospital will take my
daughter?
A: The law requires
each Ohio county’s board of
alcohol, drug addiction and
mental health services to submit lists of certain specified
hospitals to the clerk of each
county’s probate court at least
once a year.
Q: Will information
about my daughter’s involuntary treatment be kept confidential?
A: Yes. Ohio laws
regarding patient confidentiality, as well civil rights and
liberties, apply to a person
who is ordered to undergo
treatment for alcohol and other drug abuse.
Q: Who is responsible for my daughter’s treatment costs?
A: When you file
a petition with the probate
court, you must also file a
statement guaranteeing payment of the costs of any required examinations of your
daughter and the costs of
any treatment ordered by the
court.

Cavs commence Training Camp for the season
The Cavaliers began Training Camp for the 2012-13 Season on the first day of October. Joining Rookie of the Year Kyrie
Irving was No. 1 Draft Choice guard Dion Waiters looking leaner
and more muscular and later 1st Round pick, center Tyler Zeller
somewhat bulked up, so the mood was one of confidence that the
team would definitely show improvement this year. The presence
of a healthy Anderson Verajao, who will get to play more at forward because of Zeller’s ability in the middle, certainly added to
the optimism.Coach Byron Scott, when asked how the team would
regain the scoring lost with the departure of Antawn Jamison, commented, “Our main concern is on the defensive side of the ball. If
we can do that, the scoring will take care of itself.”

The Indians finished 2012
by going 1-2 against the
White Sox in their final series
of the season and 3-3 under
Interim Skipper Sandy Alomar, Jr., who replaced ousted
Manager Manny Acta. They
tied a season high by scoring
15 runs in one of two wins
against KC, but then only
managed to beat Chicago ,
4-3, in 12 innings, in a win
sandwiched between two
shutout losses. This was an
apt illustration of how their
season went, as the Tribe
contended for 1st place during the first half, but then collapsed to finish in 4th place
in the Central Division, with
the second worst record in the
AL .
Chicago came into
the series needing a sweep
to stay alive in the playoff
hunt, but any suspense went
by the wayside Monday,
when Detroit beat KC, 6-3, to
clinch the Central. The White
Sox went only 4-11 (three
of the wins coming against
the Tribe) over the final two
weeks of the campaign, causing them to be overtaken by
the Tigers for the title.
In the win against
the Sox, the oft-injured Travis
Hafner came out of the woodwork in the 9th inningto slam
a pinch hit 2-Run HR, high
off the extreme outer edge
of the RF foul pole to erase a
3-1 deficit and send the game
into extra innings. In the 12th
inning, Jason Donald lined a
mirror-image of his 10th inning double down the LF line
to score Lonnie Chisenhall,
who’d doubled, for the victory.
Reliever Chris Perez, who earlier in the day
had aired grievances about
the outgoing Acta to the media, put Chicago ahead in the
top of the 9th by giving up a
tape-measure HR to dead CF
to Dayan Viciedo, who recently has become a rival to
teammate Paul Konerko as an

The Buckeyes played
their first Big Ten game of
the year, which was first year
Coach Urban Myers’ first Big
Ten Conference game, and
edged Michigan State , 17-16,
to stay undefeated at 5-0 on the
year. Although Ohio State has
had some close victories this
season, this one was against a
quality opponent, as MSU was
rated in the Top 20.
Although he had three
turnovers – an interception and
two fumbles, OSU QB Braxton
Miller again proved to be the
Buckeyes most reliable weapon. He rushed for 136 yards
and passed for 179, including
a completion to Devin Smith,
for a 63 YD TD Pass near the
end of the 3rd quarter to put the
Buckeyes ahead for good.
Three other Buckeye runners gained only 68
yards between them. WR Corey “Philly” Brown caught 12
passes, but most were short
possession-type receptions, as
he gained just 84 yards.
The Buckeyes’ “D”
showed improvement over the
last several weeks, giving up
269 yards passing and one TD
to MSU QB Andrew Maxwell,
but grudgingly allowing just
34 yards to the Spartan running attack. The Spartans had
no turnovers, but also made no
1st downs on the ground and 14
through the air. The Buckeyes
made six 1st downs passing
and 14 rushing - displaying a
ball-control offensive mode.
Afterwards, Meyer
acknowledged the intensity of
the hard-fought contest, saying,
Miguel Cabrera became a baseball legend this year
because of how magnificently he swung a bat. But one of
the most heroic things he did all year came Wednesday night
(October 3), when he simply picked one up. Cabrera became
the first major leaguer in 45 years to win baseball’s hallowed
Triple Crown, leading the sport in home runs (44), runs batted in (139) and batting average (.330). That feat will go
down in history. But those of us alive to see this achievement
will remember how he could have sat out the final game and
won the Crown. He chose not to. He chose to play.

Miguel Cabrera’s Triple Crown achievement
“This was a war. This was two
sledgehammers going at each
other.” Referring to OSU’s final
possession, when they got the
ball with more than four minutes remaining and were able
to run out the clock, he said, “I
think every coach wants that.
And against that front, when
they knew it was coming, to
just take the ball and end the
game like that, that tells you a
lot.”
Ohio State got lucky
early in the 4th quarter when
referees incorrectly whistled
a play over after ruling Miller
was down on what appeared
to be a fumble and a long, inprogress, Spartan return.
Replays reversed the
call and gave MSU the ball at
the spot of the recovery, but
since the play had been whistled dead, negated any runback.
Michigan State eventually got a FG on the drive to
cut their deficit to one, but never were able to score after that.

Justin Masterson pitched well

in a 1-1 tie for six innings.
Chris Seddon picked up his

After the dramatic
win, Donald, said, “That was
so great. It was the first time
I’ve gotten a walk-off hit.
I’ve been struggling and I
just wanted to do something
to help the team.”
Despite batting just
over .200, Donald, normally
an infielder, hustles on every
play and had made a diving catch as a substitute outfielder in the Tribe’s 15-3 win
over KC a couple of days earlier.
He gained notoriety
as the batter hustling to 1B
that Umpire Jim Joyce mistakenly called “Safe” to break
up Armando Gallaraga’s perfect game in 2010.
Interim boss Alomar
was greeted by cheers from
the fans when he ran out to
argue a call at 1B. After the
game, Alomar acknowledged
the team’s struggles, but said
he was pleased by how the
team had played during the
last few days, saying, “I’m
proud of the way the guys for
the way they’ve been going
about their business to give
themselves chances to win.”
Closer Perez had
blamed former Manager Acta’s laid-back approach (he
rarely argued controversial
calls) as being one reason the
Tribe wasn’t shaken up when
they went into a tailspin in the
second half of the year. Talking about the team’s problems, the outspoken Perez
raised eyebrows, saying, “A
lot of that went out the door
last week,” referring to Acta’s
firing.

post-season.

It’s off to the Big Apple for the
Browns. Or more exactly, it’s off to
a slice of a former wetlands in East
Rutherford, N.J., to play the defending Super Bowl Champion N.Y. Giants.
The last three times the
Browns have played a defending Super Bowl Champ the following year,
they’ve beaten them. They beat the
Giants in 2008, the Steelers in 2009,
and the Saints in 2010. In 2011, they
didn’t play the Packers in the regular
season, although they did beat Green
Bay , 27-17, in a pre-season contest.
So far in 2012, the
Browns are 0-4, but have been in
every game into the 4th quarter.
They’ve shown an improved passing
attack under QB Brandon Weeden,
but their running game has been
bottled up in three of the four games,
although RB Trent Richardson has
shown promise when he gets some
daylight.
The Browns defense has
been hampered by the four game suspension of DB Joe Haden for taking
the stimulant Adderall, which is typically prescribed for attention deficit
disorder. Unfortunately, his suspension will not be up until the day after
the Giants’ game.
Haden has been sorely
missed in the secondary, but thing
could have been markedly worse

Cleveland . The Browns are fifth in

Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
‘Gorilla’ Jones held the middleweight title
One of the finest boxers ever
to come out of Akron,Ohio
was William “Gorilla” Jones.
He was good enough to hold
the National Boxing Association’s version of the middleweight title in 1932. He was
born on May 12,1906 in
Memphis,Tennessee and he
began his professional boxing career there in 1924. By
1927, Jones was operating
out of Akron.
In 1928, he took a
20-4 record into the ring for
his first major test. On July 17
he dropped a ten round duke
to Sergeant Sammy Baker.
Jones
rebounded
nicely outscoring Tommy
Freeman and Bucky Lawless.
On November 11 he made his
Madison Square Garden debut winning an eight rounder
against Pat Silvers. Jones
would return to the Garden
and draw with Tony Vaccarelli.
1929 was an uneven
year for Jones.When he drew
in a rematch with Freeman.
He outpointed Joe Mello
over ten but then dropped a
12 rounder to Lawless. Jones
then lost a ten round verdict
to Jackie Fields. Their return
bout was declared a no contest in the seventh round because Jones was reportedly
Jones
not trying.
Jones started off
1930 well winning a decision
over veteran Jock Malone.
Then he would drop back to
back ten rounders to Tiger
Roy Williams and Lawless.
Two months later Jones finally took the measure of Lawless in nine. On September
4, Jones met Harry Smith in
a bout billed for the Colored
Middleweight Title. It ended
in the ninth round as a No
Contest. In their return bout
Smith won over ten rounds.
In 1931, Jones defeated Cleveland’s hard
punching Paul “Poison” Pirrone by decision. This was
a huge win for Jones. Two
fights later he would again
lose a decision to Lawless.
The NBA then created a
tournament to find a succes-
sor to middleweight champion Mickey Walker who had
moved up in weight. Jones
was included in the tourney.
Jones would finish 1931
with six straight wins and he
would now receive a shot at
the vacated title.
On January 25,1932
in Milwaukee, Jones stopped
Oddone Piazza in the sixth
round to claim the NBA title. His next bout was a non
title affair against Frankie
O’Brian. Jones lost on an
eighth round DQ again for not
trying. He would come right
back with two non title wins.
On April 26 Jones successfully defended his crown with
a 12 round points call over
Young Terry in Trenton,New
Jersey. Then on June 11, in
Paris,France he suffered an
eleventh round DQ against
Marcel Thil for repeated low
blows and holding.
With his title now
gone, Jones reeled off five
straight victories. He then
drew with Freeman. In 1933,
he and Ben Jeby tangled in
a sixth round No Contest
bout. Then Jones knocked
out Johnny “Bandit” Romero
and Billy Papke Jr. Jones had
a rough year in 1934 being
upset by Dutch Weimer. He
then drew with rugged Fred-
die Steele. Jones would then
lose ten rounders to Emilio
Martinez and Oscar Rankins.
In 1935, Jones
would be defeated by Steele
in a return match. In 1936,
Jones would go 3-0-1. Then
on January 1,1937 Jones
would meet Steele in a rubber match. At stake would be
the NBA and the New York
State Athletic Commission’s
middleweight titles. Steele
won the ten rounder flooring
Jones for the first time in his
career along the way.
Again Jones would
bounce back fighting a
draw with tough Frankie
Battaglia and taking a ten
rounder from Freeman. He
would end the year losing to
Alabama Kid. Jones lost To
Babe Risko and the Alabama
Kid again in 1938. In 1939
he recorded his last victory
by decisioning Angelo Puglisi.
In 1940, he was
outscored by Vern Earling
a novice with five fights. It
was time for Gorilla Jones
to hang up the gloves. Jones
would have over 100 victories in his long pro career.
He scored 55 knockouts. He
would lose only 25 times in
144 recorded bouts. Amazingly he was never stopped !

MENU TIPS
Enjoyable ways to eat right
(NAPS)-A healthful, nutritious lifestyle may
be easier-and more fun-than
many people realize. Here
are a few hints from the experts at the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and elsewhere that
can help:
At Breakfast
Stir low-fat or fatfree granola into a bowl of
low-fat or fat-free yogurt.
Top with sliced apples or
berries.
Add strawberries,
blueberries or bananas to
your waffles, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal or toast.
Top toasted wholegrain bread with peanut butter and sliced bananas.
Add vegetables
such as bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms
or tomatoes to your egg or
egg white omelet.
For more wholesome goodness in less time
than you may know, enjoy
a fruit smoothie from a
convenience store on your
route.
At Lunch and Dinner
Ask for more vegetable toppings and less
cheese on your pizza.
Add some cooked,
dry beans to your salad. Or,
if you have a sweet tooth,
add chopped apples, pears
or raisins.
Add
broccoli,
green beans, corn or peas to
a casserole or pasta.
Add lettuce, to-
mato, onion and cucumber to
sandwiches.
To get additional nutrition, drink a fruit smoothie
instead of soda or punch.
At Snack Time
Try hummus and
whole- wheat pitas.
Dip bell pepper strips
and broccoli into a low-fat or
fat-free ranch dip.
Top a cup of fat-free
or low-fat yogurt with sliced
fresh fruit.
Drink a fruit smoothie.
A great smoothie to
enjoy at any time of day is easily found in more than 5,000
convenience stores and other
locations across the U.S. and
Canada. They’re not only delicious, but have an extra boost
of antioxidant vitamins A, C
and E and energy-boosting
B vitamins, and minerals-including calcium, zinc and iron.
Plus, they’re a good source of
fiber. f’real smoothies feature
nonfat milk and a full serving
of all-natural fruit.
They’re even fun to
get, because you make them
up fresh in a special blender.
With the push of a single
button, the in-store blender
automatically elevates your
prefilled frozen cup into the
blending chamber and, less
than 60 seconds later, returns
a freshly prepared, customblended drink.
In
addition
to
smoothies, f’real also makes
premium-quality classic milk
shakes and gourmet frozen
cappuccinos.

date, Franklin has garnered
nine Grammy Awards, an
American Music Award,
39 Stellar Awards, 16 Dove
Awards (CCM), eight
NAACP Image Awards, two

He has won two
BET awards, seven Dove

Jazz
By NANCY ANN LEE
Harold Land
Saxophonist Harold
(de Vance) Land was born in
Houston, Texas on December
18, 1928, but grew up in San
Diego.
He became interested in music in high school.
After gaining experience playing the saxophone
locally, he moved to Los
Angeles where he replaced
Teddy Edwards in a band led
by Clifford Brown and Max
Roach.
Eighteen months
later he joined bassist Curtis Counce (1956-58). From
1961-67, Land led his own
groups, often with Red Mitchell or Bobby Hutcherson.
During the 50s and
60s, he also worked with
trumpeter Gerald Wilson and
other luminaries.
In 1967, Land and
vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson formed a quintet that
continued until 1971.
An offshoot of this
band still occasionally performs as the Timeless AllStars.
Although Land’s
early style has been described
as dry-toned, when he came
under the influence of John
Coltrane in the 60s his tone
hardened and he developed
an individualists style.
Land is a jazz master. His fluency and melodiousness make his new album
of standards, ‘A Lazy Afternoon’, a lush and lovely session sweetened with a string
orchestra and driven by a
sideteam of Billy Higgins
(drum), Bill Henderson (piano), and James Leary (bass).
It’s a warm, mellow listen.

moment cease making music to concentrate fully on
his passion for ministering,
McClurkin has never stayed
away from recording profoundly uplifting music for
the soul for very long.
Born in 1959, McClurkin was encouraged at
an early age by the legendary Andrae’ Crouch, after
his aunt became a singer
in the gospel great’s choir.
Fighting through a rough
home life and a battle with
cancer, Clurkin was discovered and recorded a solo album.
After an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s
top-rated television show,
Clurkin’s solo debut was
catapulted to the upper regions of the Gospel charts
and his career was born.
Clurkin has won
three Grammy Awards, as
well as BET, Soul Train and
Dove awards.
Houghton is known
Houghton
by thousands for his day job
as a worship leader at Joel
Osteen’s Lakewood Church
in Houston, Texas. But
since 1997 with the release
of his debut album Whisper
It Loud, Houghton has been
recording and performing
his music for Gospel fans all
over the world. Since then
he’s performed with such
pop icons as Alicia Keys,
performed at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, racking up two gold albums, six
Dove Awards, two Stellar
Awards, a Soul Train Award
and four Grammy Awards in
the process.
