Finances a top concern for older Ohioans

The gubernatorial race makes it a big election year
for Ohio, and a new report finds many older Ohioans say they
want candidates who will directly address their financial concerns. According to a survey commissioned by AARP Ohio, the
majority of voters age 50 and older are anxious about their future finances. Luke Russell, associate state director for advocacy,
said 63 percent believe their income is falling behind the cost
of living. The survey found voters age 50 and older worry most
about affordable utilities, paying too much in taxes, unaffordable health-related expenses and not having financial security in
retirement.

Senate vote on expected on campaign spending limits
A vote is expected soon in Washington on a
constitutional amendment giving Congress and the states
control of political campaign spending. The Senate Judiciary Committee will consider Joint Resolution 19,
which is co-sponsored by more than 40 senators. Jonah
Minkoff-Zern, campaign co-director at Public Citizen,
said the resolution would help reverse the effect that big
money is having on elections, following multiple U.S.
Supreme Court rulings increasing campaign spending
limits.

Gasoline prices in area increase
Northeast Ohio gas prices jumped about seven cents a gallon this week to $3.45, according
to AAA East Central’s Fuel Gauge
report.
The auto club reported
that the average price for regular
unleaded gasoline in Northeast
Ohio was $3.45, up from $3.38 last
week but less than $3.58 this time
a year ago. The average cost of gas
across the state was $3.45.
AAA East Central surveys more than 460 Northeast
Ohio gas stations on a weekly basis. It says the cheapest gas was
$3.27 in Niles and the highest was
$3.53 in Lyndhurst.
Ohio (+10) was one of
10 states to see regular unleaded
gas prices increase. Prices in the
Midwest are consistently among
the most volatile in the country, increasing and decreasing quickly.
While prices have risen
slightly over the last week in parts
of the Midwest due to refinery
problems, many of these same
states also recently lead the nation
in month-over-month price decreases.
Across the U.S. for the
first time since March 12, the national average price for unleaded
gasoline dropped below $3.50 per
gallon ($3.50). Today’s national
average is at the lowest level for
early August since 2010. Today’s
price is two cents less than one
week ago, 16 cents less than one
month ago and 12 cents less than
the same date last year.
Oil market watchers continue to monitor the Middle East
and northern Africa, paying special attention to growing tensions

insurgency in eastern Ukraine.

A controversial ‘Student-based budgeting’ which
will force principals to determine where to make cuts.
According to Cleveland Teachers Union President President David Quolke, it will force principals
and their budget teams into
being the scapegoats who
have to make terrible decisions about what to cut.
The district bought
225 new buses of which 49
are propane-fueled buses
which is part of an experi-
ment in energy efficiency.
CMSD CEO Eric
Gordon proposed more than
$13.3 million in cuts to balance the district’s deficit.
The district is facing
tight financial restrains with
the existing $13.2 million
deficit, the recent recall of
more than 400 teachers and
state funding cuts totaling
$14.5 million.
Gordon solution was
to reduce the textbook budget by nearly $2.5 million,
cutting central office staff
by more than $1.5 million
and nixing a half a million
dollars from the non-emergency repairs budget.
These budget changes were made despite voters
passing a tax in 2012 to prevent cuts especially cuts to

Despite the stereotype that SNAP
primarily serves urban minority
populations, the report shows that
rural areas have a higher percentage of households receiving SNAP
benefits than metropolitan and micropolitan (smaller city) areas.
“We found rural areas
and small cities both have higher
proportions of their households receiving SNAP than do larger urban
areas and the nation as a whole,”
said Jon Bailey, director of Rural Policy at the Center for Rural
Affairs and author of the report.
“Over 14 percent of rural households received SNAP benefits as
compared to 10.9 percent of urban
households and 11.4 percent of
households nationwide.”
A copy of the report can
be viewed and downloaded at:
http://files.cfra.org/pdf/snap-andrural-households.pdf.
Moreover, research has
indicated that seniors and children are among the most at risk for
food insecurity. And it was found
that rural areas and small cities
have higher proportions of their
households with senior and child
residents receiving SNAP than
do larger urban areas, higher also
than the national average, Bailey
continued. Combined, rural areas
and small cities have 3.6 percent
of their households with a SNAP
recipient over 60 and 7.5 percent
of their households with children
under 18 receiving SNAP benefits.
SNAP is a program of
the United States Department of
Agriculture and offers nutrition
assistance to millions of eligible,
low-income individuals and families. SNAP is the largest program
in the domestic hunger safety net.
(http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/
supplemental-nutrition-assistanceprogram-snap).
“These findings are crucial for rural families as they show
SNAP is a necessary facet of everyday life for many rural families and households, especially
those where seniors and children
reside,” Bailey said. “One in nine
rural households contain a SNAP
recipient who is either 60 years old
or older or a child under 18.”
According to Bailey,
SNAP has been shown to reduce
the depth and severity of poverty,
a necessity in many rural areas and
small towns across the nation that
have higher rates of poverty than
urban areas.
SNAP benefits also have
a particularly strong positive effect
on poverty among children.
The findings of importance of SNAP to many rural
households and the findings of the
positive benefits of SNAP argue
for the maintenance of a strong domestic hunger safety net for rural
areas.
Autism is a reality of life
for an estimated one in 68 people.
And while annual observances such as Autism Awareness

recognition of the disease’s prevalence, some say better understanding also is needed.

of the Autism Society of Ohio,
says that’s why her organization is
promoting this August as the first
ever Autism Acceptance Month.
“You have to have aware,

There’s good news
for women over 40: As of
2014, insurance companies are
required by law to cover annual mammograms in full, with
no co-pay.
Unfortunately, 3D
mammograms—an advanced
technology that has been
shown to detect cancers earlier
than a traditional one—often
are not covered by insurance
companies.
One of the newest
ways to screen for cancer, 3D
mammography lets the doctor
see through layers of breast tissue much more clearly, for a
more accurate exam and fewer
false alarms.
The problem, as
many women have discovered
to their disappointment, is that
many insurance companies do
not provide payment for this
lifesaving technology.
The earlier breast
cancer is detected, the better
the chance for successful treatment. Considering that one in
eight American women can expect to develop breast cancer at
some point in her life, access to
the best screening technology
for early detection is critical.
For the patient, having a 3D mammogram is nearly identical to having a traditional mammogram.
The difference is in
how the images are captured
and displayed to give doctors
Having a chronic
health condition doesn’t mean
you have to lose control over
your health. Every day you
take steps, like eating right,
monitoring your blood sugar,
and watching your weight, to
manage your diabetes and ensure the healthiest possible future. What if there was something you could do just once
a year that could also help
protect your health? There is—
you can make sure you are upto-date on vaccines to protect
against a number of common
diseases, some of which may
be even more serious because
of your diabetes.
A recent national survey by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
showed that most U.S. adults
are not even aware that they
need vaccines throughout their
lives to protect against diseases like pertussis, hepatitis,
shingles, and pneumococcal
disease.
Some vaccines you
received as a child may require
a booster, and as you get older,
there may be other diseases
you are at increased risk for
based on your job, where you
travel, and other factors.
Each year, thousands
of adults needlessly suffer,
are hospitalized, and even die
from diseases that could be
prevented by vaccines. Diabetes, even if well managed,
can make it harder for your
immune system to fight infections, so you may be at risk
for more serious complications from an illness compared
to people without diabetes.
That’s why you should talk to
your doctor or other healthcare
professional to make sure you
have all the vaccines you need.
Some illnesses, like
influenza, can raise your blood
glucose to dangerously high
levels so it’s critical to get the
flu vaccine every year. People
with diabetes are also at an
increased risk of death from
pneumonia and other infections.
Certain types of
pneumonia and associated infections can be prevented by
pneumococcal vaccines. People with diabetes have higher
rates of hepatitis B than the rest
of the population. Outbreaks
of hepatitis B associated with
blood glucose monitoring procedures have occurred among
people with diabetes.
That’s why the
hepatitis B vaccine is important for you. The good news
is that getting vaccinated is
easier than you think. Adults
can get vaccines at doctors’
offices, pharmacies, workplaces, health clinics, and health
departments. Visit vaccine.
healthmap.org to find a vaccine
provider near you. Most health
insurance plans cover the cost
of recommended vaccines—a
call to your insurance provider
can give you the details.
What vaccines do
you need?
Whether you have
type 1 or type 2 diabetes, it
is recommended that you get,
Influenza vaccine each year
to protect against seasonal flu,
Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine to protect against
pneumonia and other pneumococcal diseases, and Hepatitis B vaccine series to protect
against hepatitis B.
In addition, all adults
need: Tdap vaccine to protect
against whooping cough and
tetanus, and Zoster vaccine to
protect against shingles if you
are 60 years and older.
The CDC offers a
quiz at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adultquiz to help determine which vaccines are recommended for you. For more
information about adult vaccines, visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults.

more accurate information.
Reading a 3D mammogram
is a little like reading a book.
If you look down at the cover,
you cannot see individual pages. However, when you open it
up, you can go through the entire book page by page to see
everything in between the covers. Using 3D mammography,
doctors can look at different
layers of breast tissue, much
like looking at individual pages in a book.
This helps them find
cancers that might be hidden
behind normal tissue. Clinical
studies have shown that 3D
mammography can find cancers earlier, especially invasive tumors that can be lethal.
When cancers are found while
they are still small, they are
easier and less expensive to
treat. Another plus: There are
fewer false positives with 3D
mammography.
That means thousands of women will be spared
the worry, anxiety and cost of
being called back for unnecessary tests.
For all these reasons,
many women are checking
their health insurance to be
sure it pays for 3D mammography. Many insurance plans
do not, meaning a lot of women lack access to this advanced
technology that many doctors
consider game changing.
You can be your best
advocate and ask your insurance company to pay for the
more accurate 3D mammography exam. Since many doctors
will only be able to invest in
3D mammography equipment
when they know that their patients’ insurance will pay for it,
you may also want to ask your
doctor about the availability of
this technology in your area.
You can take action
to be able to get a 3D mammogram at no cost to you:
Ask your insurer to
pay for this test, if it is not already.
Ask your doctor
about avail- ability of this technology in your area.
Ask your legislators
what they’re doing to ensure
that 3D mammography is available to all women.
For further facts on
the benefits of 3D mammography, talk to your doctor and visit
www.3Dmammogram.com for a
list of 3D mammography providers nearby.
Many Americans are
also contacting their legislators
and insurance companies about
making 3D mammograms accessible.
You can reach your representative about this or any issue
at www.house.gov and your senators at www.senate.gov.

Doctor starts tour to recruit minority doctors
As co-founder of
Tour for Diversity in Medicine, Alden Landry, 32, puts
that philosophy into overdrive.
A mentoring campaign on wheels, Tour for Diversity (T4D) literally drives
possibilities with a bus full of
mentors to underrepresented
students aspiring to be the
health professionals of the
future. The mobile mentors
have hit nearly 30 campuses,
reaching more than 2,000
students since the bus began
rolling in 2012.
Scan Landry’s credentials. They spell health
care superhero. With formidable dedication, the ER
physician reaches out, gives
back, and pays it forward.
“Many
students
don’t know where to go or
how to get guidance, even to
prepare for medical or dental school entrance exams,”
Landry said. “So our solution
is to go to them.”
He is convinced that
the tour, in conjunction with
other diversity efforts, can
increase the pipeline of minorities into the health professions, ultimately resulting
in greater access to care for
underserved communities.
Tour for Diversity
in Medicine (T4D) mission:
To educate, inspire, and cultivate future physicians and
dentists of diverse racial and
ethnic backgrounds by forming local connections in order to fulfill a national need.
The seeds of T4D
were planted in 2005, the
brainchild of Landry and
Kameron Leigh Matthews,
MD, JD. They’d just finished
a conference call for the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), which
works to increase the number
of clinically excellent, culturally competent, and socially conscious physicians.
Matthews,
then
SNMA president, and
Landry, a board member,
collectively
experienced
an “aha” moment. “SNMA
wasn’t reaching many historically black colleges and
universities,” she said. It also
wasn’t reaching community
colleges, which enroll large
numbers of minorities but
offer limited programming,
mentors, or advisers in the
medical field.
Wondering how to
change that dynamic, they
thought, “Why don’t we go
to them?” And then, Matthews says, one of them
blurted out, “We should just
get on a bus!”
It was a radical notion. Sure, there were plenty
of medical career fairs; some
of them even courted underrepresented students.
But none of them
got on a bus to break down
the barriers confronting
those students.
Initially, the duo
had trouble getting their
show on the road. “Nobody
paid attention to two medical
students,” he said. Stymied,
they returned their focus to
completing med school.
But like all great
ideas that are waiting for the
right time and place to take
off, this one never died.
Flash forward to another phone conversation—
this one in 2011, after both
had finished their residencies. “We were moving up
in the ranks,” Landry recalls,
“and I said, ‘Kam, it’s now or
never.”
This time, doors
opened and people listened.
The Aetna Foundation and
the U.S. Army pledged financial backing. Colleagues
with diverse backgrounds
and experiences, who knew
firsthand the value of mentors, signed on.
“Without hesitation,
people took time off,” Landry
said. “They left their families
behind and got on the bus
because they believed in our
dream—and our mission was
theirs.”
They’ve reached
2,000 participants so far. The
foundation of that success is
the diversity of the mentors
themselves. Some are practicing physicians or dentists;
others are still students. All
are minorities.
“It’s one thing to
believe in your dreams,” one
elated Tour attendee said,
“but to see people that look
like you, who believe in
you and have achieved your
dreams, is priceless.”
As with any fledgling venture, the inaugural
Tour was “not flawless by
any stretch of the imagination,” Landry notes wryly.
Minor snags were complicated by a bus breakdown
‘round midnight during a
six-hour drive from South
Carolina to Alabama.
Still, Landry kept
the mood upbeat. “We were

playing Red Light/Green
Light on the side of the interstate at 2 in the morning,” he
said.
Although the delay meant they didn’t reach
their hotel until 3:30 a.m.,
the team persevered. Despite
their unanticipated roadside
adventure, many signed up
for another Tour.
“We always have
people coming up saying,
‘How can I get on the bus?’”
Landry said.
He considers that
a testament to the Tour’s vision. “They believe efforts
like ours can increase the
number of underrepresented
minorities and disadvantaged
students in the health professions.”
There’s
also
Landry’s contagious enthusiasm for paying it forward—a
passion born of the mentorship he’s received himself.
Landry remembers
his first mentor: his grandmother, a registered nurse.
“We often talked about how
it made her day to take care
of patients and help improve
their care. She was proud of
what she did.”
Told he was contemplating a career in medicine, she pushed him to become a physician. “She had a
huge impact on me,” he said.
That sort of prodding has characterized his career, figuring into his decision
to apply to SMDEP in 2000.
His adviser at Prairie View
A&M University, where he
earned his bachelor’s degree
in 2002, explained that summer programs and early exposure to careers in medicine
were crucial when applying
to medical schools. He assured Landry that SMDEP,
known then as MMEP, could
get him all the exposure he
needed.
For Landry, the sixweek session at The University of Alabama–Birmingham would open doors to
new people and experiences,
and confirm that medicine
was his calling.
While shadowing
in the emergency department
at UAB—part of the MMEP
experience—he met a black
physician.
“When I got to
medical school, I contacted
him and next thing I know,
he became my mentor.”
When Landry decided to specialize in emergency medicine, that same
doctor guided him through
applying for residencies.
“I don’t know if
I would have discovered
emergency medicine without
that shadowing opportunity,”
Landry said.
mission Test—beginning in
2015.
“The physician of
old is not the physician of the
future,” Landry said. Activism is an asset. “You can’t
just hang a shingle and be
seen as a community leader.
You have to be involved,
integrated into the community; willing to get your
hands dirty and think deeper,
wider, and outside the box.
There’s so much more to being a physician, than putting
a stethoscope around your
neck.”
Whether he’s educating youth about healthcare and health career opportunities through his Hip
Hop Health nonprofit, lending his expertise to programs
devoted to solving the health
disparity problem, or wheeling down the road with T4D,
Alden Landry is invested in
his mentees.
“It’s hard for an
18-year-old to understand
what four years of college
and another four years of
medical school means,” he
said. “That’s eight years—almost half as long as they’ve
been alive!”
Inspirational. Life-
He sees his own
mentorship efforts, including
T4D, as a way to pay back
that opportunity by giving to
others.
“Letting medical
students, college students,
and even high school students shadow me is an extension of what was offered to
me at MMEP.”
Much has changed
since Landry completed
medical school in 2006. He
stresses to aspiring doctors
that in today’s technologically advanced world, a prospective MD needs more
than an interest in science.
“When I was in college, everybody who wanted
to be a physician was a biology or a chemistry major,” he
said. But today, with seismic
changes in our culture, doctors ”must have exposure to
diverse populations.” “You
need an understanding of IT
and social networking. You
need an understanding of
ethics, psychology, public
policy, sociology,” Landry
said.
That evolution will
be reflected in the questions
that appear on the MCAT—
the Medical Association Ad-
changing. That’s what students say about T4D.
Said one student,
“Seeing so many physicians
who look like me and are
excited not only about medicine but about me and my
future is very uplifting.”
Another enthused,
“I believe I can do anything
after today.”
Reflecting on the
struggles of those who went
before him affects Landry
the success of SMDEP,”
he said. “I can’t say we
wouldn’t be in the position
we’re in today, but I can
definitely say we’re better because we participated
in the program. Down the
road,“ projects Landry,
“this can significantly help
to eliminate health disparities.”

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
purposes, 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
A Look At My World
And the heat goes on...and on...and on
DR. JAMES L. SNYDER
This past week
found me in a bit of trouble
with the Gracious Mistress of
the Parsonage... well, more
than normal. It has become
rather normal for me to be in
trouble with her. No matter
how hard I try “not to be,” it
always is “to be.”
This week was a
high point for me getting into
trouble. I never relish getting
into a pickle with her, but
sometimes it is unavoidable.
All week long, I
had been murmuring and
complaining about how hot
it was. “I’ve never seen such
hot weather,” I grumbled. “I
don’t know how long I can
take this hot weather.”
You would think
that someone my age would
have learned long ago that
some things should not be
vocalized.
This is America ,
and we all have the right to
speak our mind although
much of the time we should
not speak our mind aloud;
at least, not to the point that
someone, especially someone living under the same
roof, can hear you. I have
found that the thing that enhances romance is the sounds
of silence.
I guess it was getting a little wearisome with
all my complaining, but after
all, the weather was really
hot.
Then, she looked at
me and said, “If I hear you
complain about the weather
one more time, I’m... I’m...
I’m...” The look on her face
indicated that she was not at
a loss for words; she was just
trying to control herself and
save herself from early widowhood.
I truly respect people who have the ability to
control themselves, especially the people who live under
our roof.
I almost said something, but for some reason I
had a flash of temporary sanity. I said nothing, but smiled.
I am not boasting here, but
I am really good at saying
nothing. Even when talking,
my wife tells me I am saying
nothing.
Saying
nothing
has gotten me out of many
a jam, particularly with my
wife. There are times when
husbands and wives should
sit down and have a rather
invigorating conversation.
Then there are times when
the husband should shut up.
I never know which time is
which.
It was then that my
wife laid out the facts for me
to evaluate. How she can remember everything is simply
beyond me. However, how
do I know she is actually
remembering things as they
were and not making them
up?
It seems, according
to her impeccable recollection, that a few months ago
I was complaining about
how cold it was and anxious
for the hot weather to come.
“You were just as grumpy
about how cold it was as you
are now about how hot it is.
Then she put her
hands on her hip and looked
at me with “that look,” and
said, “I don’t mind you complaining about one or the other but I really do mind you
complaining about everything. You’re going to have to
make up your mind whether
you hate the cold or the heat,
and then stick to it.”
That put a new light
on the situation, and a new
burden on me. Now, according to her latest admonition, I
need to choose the heat or the

cold. I am tempted, although
I know better, to complain
about this. I do not think it is
fair that I have to choose one
or the other. I think I should
be able to hate both the cold
and the heat.
However, here is
the problem. If I choose to
complain about the heat, then
what do I do in the wintertime when it gets cold? Faced
with a real dilemma I took it
to my good wife and asked,
“Can I hate the heat in the
summer and hate the cold in
the winter, if I alternate it every other year?” To me this
sounded like a very reasonable request. After all, I was
accommodating her request
and getting in my share of
complaining.
If you would spend
as much time thinking of
positive things to say as you
do complaining it would be
absolutely wonderful.
But how can you
think of something positive
about the heat when you are
sweltering? And, how can
you think about something
positive about the cold when
your bones are shivering to
death? Mistakenly I told my
wife my dilemma.
“I think I have
you figured out,” she said.
“You’re positively negative
about everything.”
There is only one
thing worse than having your
wife figure you out. There
must be, but I cannot think of
any thing right now.
I will not say my
wife is right, only that she is
not wrong. I must say I have
a tendency to complain about
everything. Some people can
see the silver lining in every
cloud whereas I see a cloud
over every silver lining. I
guess it is a person’s perspective.
Thinking along this
line, I remembered a verse
in the Bible. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report; if there be
any virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things”
(Philippians 4:8).
Some people (like
me) see a glass as half empty
while others see it as halffull. There are those few
souls (like my wife) who are
thankful that there is any water in the glass of all.

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
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.
Education series to start at hospice
Hospice of the
Western Reserve is seeking volunteers to assist in
private residences, nursing
homes, assisted living communities, and the two Hospice House locations, and
hospital settings.
As a vital part of
Hospice of the Western
Reserve’s team, volunteers
come from all walks of life,
and have a variety of skills,
talents and abilities.
Opportunities to
serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort,
help with legacy work,
transportation, light housework, meal preparation, run
errands, make phone calls,
help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a
presentation.
Volunteers with
specialized
professional
qualifications and training
are also needed: attorneys,
licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy
dogs and their handlers.
The next series
of volunteer classes will
be held at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 18001 Detroit Road, Lakewood, OH
44107 on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, September 30,
October 2,7, and 9 from
10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Teen and nonclinical volunteers attend only
the class on Sept. 30 while
most other volunteers attend all classes.
Pre-registration
is required. For more information or to register,
call the volunteer team at
800.707.8922 ext. 6881.
More moms choosing to nurse their babies
August is National
Breastfeeding Month, and
efforts to get more Ohio
mothers to nurse their babies are paying off.
According to new
data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, breastfeeding
rates are rising in the United
States, with an estimated 65
percent of moms in Ohio
now at least starting with
nursing.
However, despite
the increase, international
board-certified
lactation
consultant Cheryl Dawn
Marion of Alliance said
mothers still face challenges nursing in public places.
“Women
have
been breastfeeding in public for eons,” Marion said,
“They’ve always done it,
and it’s funny to see so
many people now against
breastfeeding in public.
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 living 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.
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful

Q: Are students protected by the Fourth Amendment to the United States
Constitution?
A: Yes. Under the
Fourth Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, all people,
including public school students, are protected against
“unreasonable searches and
seizures.” Any type of search
that school officials conduct
implicates the Fourth Amendment and its protections.
Q: Is a drug or alcohol test considered a search
under the Fourth Amendment?
A: Yes. A drug test
(usually administered by obtaining a urine sample) or
alcohol test (usually administered through a breathalyzer)
both qualify as a “search” under the Fourth Amendment.
Since the Fourth Amendment
applies to drug/alcohol tests
administered to students,
the question often becomes
whether it was reasonable to
conduct the search or test.
Q: When can public
school officials test students
for drugs or alcohol?
A: Public schools are
responsible for ensuring the
safety of all students. For this
reason, public school officials
are not held to the higher “probable cause” standard law enforcement officers must meet
to conduct searches. School
officials also do not need a
By JUSTICE PAUL E. PFEIFER
Several days later, court staff
again refused to allow Baker
inside the courtroom during a
hearing.
That same day, Judge
Hunter issued entries in the
remaining cases revoking the
Enquirer’s permission to photograph or film the proceedings.
The Enquirer eventually filed a complaint with the
court of appeals seeking an
order prohibiting Judge Hunter from barring the Enquirer
from the proceedings. The
court of appeals ultimately ordered Judge Hunter to stay the
enforcement of her two orders
revoking the Enquirer’s permission to broadcast, televise,
photograph, or record courtroom proceedings and to allow Enquirer reporters into the
courtroom.
In accordance with
the court of appeals’ order,
Judge Hunter reinstated the
Enquirer’s permission to
broadcast the proceedings,
but subject to conditions. She
maintained that the names of
the defendants and their parents “are barred from publication or broadcast for all current
and future proceedings ...”
The Enquirer immediately filed a motion for
contempt, arguing that Judge
Hunter violated the court of
appeals’ order because that
order compelled her to allow
the Enquirer into the courtroom without conditions. The
Enquirer asserted that Judge
Hunter’s conditions were an
unconstitutional prior restraint
on its right to publish information.
At the contempt
hearing, Judge Hunter argued
that she wasn’t in contempt
because she had complied
with the court of appeals’ express mandate: she allowed the
reporters into her courtroom.
She maintained that the order
did not compel her to rescind
her ban on publishing names.
And she contended that the
Enquirer had breached its voluntary agreement to refrain
from publishing the names
until there was a verdict in the
case.
The court of appeals
disagreed, and granted the Enquirer’s contempt motion. After that, Judge Hunter filed an
appeal with us – the Supreme
Court of Ohio.
Among her arguments, Judge Hunter suggested that the court of appeals’
order was too uncertain in its
terms to put her on notice that
continuing the ban on publishing the names of the juveniles
was improper. If a contempt
charge is premised on a party’s
failure to obey an order of the
court, then the order must be
clear and definite, unambiguous, and not subject to dual
interpretations.
We concluded that
Judge Hunter was given plain
notice of what the court of appeals required her to do: she
was to suspend her orders of
March 15 and 25 which revoked the Enquirer’s privileges as punishment for printing
the juveniles’ names. Publication of the names was the only
reason the judge banned the
Enquirer from her courtroom.
She never accused the paper
of violating the restrictions on
photographing or broadcasting the hearings.
And because the orders revoking the Enquirer’s
access to the hearings were
inextricably tied to the publication ban that the orders purported to enforce, by suspend-
ing one, the court of appeals
necessarily suspended the
other. Any other interpretation would render the order
meaningless.
Therefore, by a seven-to-zero vote, we affirmed
the judgment of the court of
appeals.

The ins and outs of 529 college savings plans
By JASON ALDERMAN
For many people,
their biggest expenses in
life are funding retirement,
buying a home and paying
for their children’s college
education – or a portion of it,
anyway. Setting aside money
for these and other financial
goals is difficult, especially
when you’re trying to save
for them all simultaneously
and from a young age.
One of the more
popular college savings vehicles is the 529 College
Savings Plan. Every state
and Washington, D.C. offers
at least one 529 plan option,
although most offer several.
Key features include:
You make contributions using after-tax dollars;
their investment earnings
grow tax-free.
Withdrawals aren’t
taxed if they’re used to pay
for qualified higher-education expenses (e.g., tuition,
room and board, fees, books,
supplies and equipment).
If you withdraw
the money for non-qualified
expenses, you’ll have to pay
income tax and a 10 percent
penalty tax on the earnings
portion of the withdrawal –
plus possible state penalties,
depending on where you live.
Many states that
have a state income tax give
accountholders a full or partial tax deduction for contributions made to their own
state’s plan. Three states
(Indiana, Utah and Vermont)
also offer tax credits for contributions.
Contributions
to
other state’s plans generally
are not tax-deductible in your
home state; however, five
states do offer tax breaks for
investing in any state’s plan
(Arizona, Kansas, Maine,
Missouri and Pennsylvania).
Each state’s plan
offers different investment
options, both in investment
style (age-based, risk-based,
principal protection, managed or indexed funds, etc.)
and in actual investment performance.
You can choose
anyone as beneficiary – your
child, other relative or friend
and if the original beneficiary
decides not to attend college
or gets a scholarship, you
can reallocate the account to
another of his or her family
members at any time.
You can rollover
funds to a different 529 plan
or change investment strategies once a year. If you want
to do more than one rollover
within a 12-month period,

you’ll need to change the
beneficiary in order to avoid
taxes and penalties. (You can
always change it back later.)
Contributions up to
$14,000 a year, per recipient,
are exempt from gift taxes
($28,000 for married couples).
You can also make a
lump-sum contribution of up
to $70,000 ($140,000/married couples) per beneficiary
and then average the contribution over a five-year period without triggering the gift
tax – provided you make no
other gifts to that beneficiary
for the next five years.
These plans are
treated as an asset of the
account owner (vs. the student) when calculating the
expected family contribution
toward college costs, so they
have a comparatively low
impact on financial aid eligibility.
Most financial experts recommend looking
first at your own state’s plan
to see what tax advantages, if
any, are offered to residents.
They may be significant
enough to offset lower fees
or better fund performance in
other states’ plans.
Carefully examine the fee structure. Common fees include those for
opening an account, annual
maintenance, administration
costs, and most importantly,
sales commissions if you’re
buying from a brokerage –
which could be up to 5.75
percent of your contribution. Buying directly from
the plan eliminates sales fees
but puts the onus on you to
research the best option for
your needs.
And finally, examine the investment performance of the funds, both
when you enroll and periodically thereafter. Morningstar (www.morningstar.
com), College Savings Plans
Network (www.collegesavings.org) and FinAid (www.
finaid.org) all have helpful
comparison tools.
Bottom line: The
sooner you can start saving
for college, the less your
kids will have to rely on expensive loans.

search warrant to conduct
a search (or test). Rather,
school officials may test a
student for drugs or alcohol
if they have a “reasonable
suspicion” that a student is
under the influence of drugs
or alcohol at school or during
a school-sponsored event.
Q: What does it
mean to have a reasonable
suspicion?
A: Having a “reasonable suspicion” means that
there are reasonable grounds
to suspect that a search (or
test) will provide evidence
that the student violated a
school policy or rule. The
reasonableness of any search
(or test) depends on the facts
and circumstances of each situation.
Q: What are some
examples of reasonable suspicion?
A: If a student is
noticeably impaired and has
alcohol on his/her breath,
school officials would have
a reasonable suspicion to
conduct a breathalyzer test.
Also, noticeable impairment
combined with information received from a credible
source about the same student’s recent consumption of
drugs or alcohol would likely
constitute a reasonable suspicion. However, a student’s
misbehavior alone would not
justify drug/alcohol testing
if there were no other indicators that the student was
using drugs or alcohol.
Q: Can a school implement a random drug-testing policy for all students?
A: No; public
schools may not implement
a purely random (or “suspicionless”) drug-testing policy
for all students in attendance. Such a policy has been
held to violate the Fourth
Amendment. However, public schools may implement a
random drug testing policy
for all students who participate in competitive activities
(specifically including, but
not necessarily limited to athletics, band, choir and cheerleading). Also, one court
upheld a random drug-testing
policy to include any student
who received a school parking permit. So, practically
speaking, a public school can
randomly drug test a large
portion of its students.

Kevin Love coming to the Cavs
Kevin Love is coming to Cleveland and giving the Cavaliers a long-term commitment. Several reports Thursady said the
Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves have reached an agreement
on a trade that would bring the All-Star power forward to Cleveland
in exchange for rookie Andrew Wiggins; last year’s No. 1 pick,
forward Anthony Bennett; and a first-round pick in the 2015 draft.
In addition, it was reported that Love has agreed to sign a five-year
extension with the Cavs next summer, when he can opt out of the
final year of his contract. Because a rookie cannot be traded for 30
days after signing his contract, the deal cannot become official until
August 23, which is the earliest the Cavaliers can deal Wiggins.

Tribe struggles in Battle of Ohio with loses to Cincinati
By KARL BRYANT
The maddening trait
continues: the Tribe wins three
straight and then they lose
four straight or they win four
straight and then lose three
straight. This keeps them constantly hovering around .500.
At press time, since the AllStar Break, the Indians are 1011.
The Battle of Ohio –
the Tribe’s annual interleague
series against Cincinnati - just
concluded with the Reds taking three of four in a homeand-home series. The Tribe’s
only win was the first game,
7-1, which came on the heels
of a series sweep against the
Rangers, in which the Indians
outscored the Rangers, 18-5.
During that Texas
series, on Saturday, the same
day as the Pro Football Hall of
Fame Enshrinement Ceremonies, the Indians unveiled a
statue of Jim Thome, the franchise’s all-time HR leader. In
two stints with the Tribe, the
well-travelled Thome hit 337
HR, breaking Albert Belle’s
mark of 242 that originally had
eclipsed Earl Averill’s longtime team record of 226. Incidentally, Manny Ramirez’ 236
eventually bypassed Averill’s,
so the top three Indians career
HR hitters are from the Tribe’s
mid-90’s Glory Years.
Getting back to the
only victory over Cincinnati,
the winning pitcher in that
SW part of the state to take two
more from the Tribe. In a 9-2
thumping in Cleveland, David
Murphy fell for the old “twoballs-on-the-field trick” and
was tagged out after straying
off of 3B. Of course, the Umps
should have negated that play,
but this is Cleveland, after all.
A couple of Reds HRs didn’t
help much either.
Afterwards, the bat-
Kluber
game was Corey Kluber, who’s
been the Tribe’s only consistent starter. Kluber allowed just
a run in the 8th Inning, before
leaving with a 5-1 lead. Oddly,
John Axford, the second reliever in, worked 1.2 innings and
was credited with a Save, since
when he entered the game, the
tying run was On Deck.
It was Axford’s first
Save since way back on May
3, a game after which he began a series of Blown Saves
and “Ls,” which made Manager Terry Francona gun-shy
about putting him in during a
pressure situation. Since in the
Texas game, the Tribe scored
two more runs in their half of
the 8th Inning, it was OK to
leave Axford in to record a bizarre Save in a 7-1 blowout.
Unfortunately, it was
all downhill after that for the
Indians. The Reds won the final game in Cleveland and then
travelled some 240 miles to the
tered Josh Tomlin, who’s given
up 17 HRs this season, was
sent to the Bullpen. Tomlin
had previously told Minority
Publishers Assn., “I want to
help this team. I’m willing to
do whatever Coach wants me
to do,” so will probably be OK
with the move in order to get
himself back in the groove.
The next night,
Danny Salazar, who had won
three straight games since being called up from AAA, was
smacked around by Cincinnati
for two more HRs and five runs
in four innings. After the 8-3
loss, he was sent back down to
AAA.
In the Battle of Ohio finale, T.J. House gave up three
earned runs and took the loss.
The Indians were shut out, 4-0,
by Homer Bailey, who they’ve
had success beating in recent
years, and a couple of relievers. House probably will be
sent somewhere too, maybe to
the Minors in the Tribe’s never-ending 2014 pitching Merry-go-Round, or at least out to
the woodshed.
It doesn’t get any easier for
the Tribe, as the NY Yankees in
the Big Apple are next on the
agenda.
He birdied the final
two holes after the raindrops
cleared Saturday and then
roared past Garcia on the first
three holes Sunday. He played
solidly the rest of the day and
shook off a challenge to finish
two strokes ahead, 15 under
par.
Leishman finished
third, a stroke behind Garcia
and Rose finished in a four-way
tie for 4th place, three strokes
behind him. Incidentally, this
tournament displayed quite
an international flavor as Patrick Reed and Keegan Bradley
were the only Americans to finish in that top seven.
Leishman told Mi-
nority Publishers Assn., “I feel
I’ve played really good, but
there are so many great golfers
out there. You can only hope
that you’re fortunate and your
score stays up there.”
Leishman was among
only a handful of golfers who
shot in the under par each day
of the tournament. Another
rain delay occurred Sunday
morning, but did not affect
the leaders, who had later tee
times.
Another
notable
Sunday finisher was crowd
favorite Phil Mickelson, who
was three over par after Day
3, but shot an astonishing 62
to finish five under. Before he
posted his 62, Mickelson, who
has had numerous health issues lately, said Firestone “is
one of the best courses on the
tour” and decried his poor play
in earlier rounds, saying, “This
course punishes bad play and
rewards good play.”
Sunday was a great finish for
one of the sport’s nice guys,
who takes the time to sign
autographs for hundreds of
youngsters after he completes
a round.
Tiger Woods, who
said his back had been giving
him troubles during the first
three rounds, only completed
eight holes before withdrawing
on Sunday. Woods, who had
been one over par at the end
of his three completed rounds,
had said, “I can’t go out there
and play at full speed…because I won’t have enough
time to recover for the next
day.”
He lost his balance
after taking a shot early in Sunday’s round and hop-skipped
into a bunker to avoid falling –
jarring his back even worse. He
said he started to feel spasms
and after taking an uncomfortable drive on the 9th Tee, he
was taken off the course by his
caddie on a golf cart. Woods
won at Firestone last year –
one of eight previous victories
there.
Afterward, McIlroy,
the affable Northern Ireland
native, said, “I rode my luck a
little bit on the back nine, hit a
couple of tree limbs that put the
ball back in the fairway, so got
lucky a couple of times…But I
did enough in the end and hung
on.”
He also was able to
hang onto $1.53 million as
Bridgestone Champion and
regain the No. 1 ranking in
the world.
the Soul lost yet again on the
final play of the game as Aaron Pettrey, from Ohio State,
kicked a 36 YD FG to lead
Cleveland to a 39-37 victory.
The Soul had taken
a one-point lead with 25 seconds left after scoring on a 47
YD TD Pass from Dan Raudabaugh to Emery Sammons and
passing for the two-point conversion, also on the same combination.
Fortunately
QB
Shane Austin led the Gladia-
tors far enough downfield to
get in position for Pettrey’s
game-winning kick.
Coincidentally, each
QB threw for 246 yards, but
Raudabaugh threw five TDpasses, while Austin threw a
huge five interceptions. Raudabaugh threw one INT and Austin threw two TD tosses. He
also had three TD runs. Collin
Taylor and Dominick Goodman caught the TD passes for
Cleveland.
Dominic Jones also
returned a blocked extra point
all the way for two points.
The Gladiators will
now face the Orlando Predators in the Conference Championship Game Sunday at
Quicken Loans Arena at 3p.m.
The Predators, who
the Gladiators have not yet
faced this year, upset the Pittsburgh Power, 56-48.
Pittsburgh, who lost
twice to Cleveland this year,
also handed the Gladiators
their only loss of the season.
Rory McIlroy roars to Bridgestone win for top ranking
By KARL BRYANT
Rory McIlroy roared
past 3rd Round leader Sergio
Garcia, to post a two-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational World Golf Championships at the Firestone Country
Club in Akron on Sunday.
McIlroy, who won the British
Open in his last start, stayed
close enough to the top of the
leaderboard so that when Garcia shot a course-record-tying
61 in the 2nd Round on Friday,
he wasn’t at too much of a disadvantage.
Garcia had shot an
amazing 27 – courtesy of eight
birdies on the back 9 - en route
to that 61. McIlroy was four
shots back of Garcia after Day
2, tied with Day 1 leader Marc
Leishman in 3rd place.
Justin Rose was in
2nd place, three shots back.
McIlroy first picked up a stroke
on Saturday, which was marred
by a long rain delay for the last
four threesomes on the leaderboard. (Instead of pairings, the
PGA went to threesomes and
started play at 7 a.m. to try to
beat the expected rain.)

Boxing Nostalgia

Clark had a remarkable boxing record
There were many
who thought he was going to
be the next Muhammad Ali.
He was a tall,
smooth boxing heavyweight
with a world of potential.
His professional career began in 1964 and before long
he was mixing it up with
some of the best fighters
in the world.How’s this for
starters? His pro debut was
a four round decision loss to
the rugged Joey Orbillo.
Less then two
months later he pounded out
a ten round verdict over future title challenger Manuel
Ramos.
The following year
he whipped tough trialhorse
George “Scrapiron” Johnson. In 1966 he fought a No
Decision bout with Amos
“Big Train” Lincoln and
he lost a decision to highly
regarded Zora Folley. The
year 1967 saw Henry establish himself as a force in
the heavyweight division by
Clark
winning on points over Bill
McMurray, Steve Grant on
two occasions, Fred Lewis,
Eddie Machen and Roger
Rischer.
Clark opened 1968
by defeating the clever Leotis Martin. This led Clark into
a major bout against comebacking ex-heavyweight king
Sonny Liston. This was Liston’s first major step on his
comeback trail and he passed
with flying colors. Sonny
pummelled a game but overmatched Clark in scoring a
seventh round stoppage.
There were mixed
results in 1969 for Clark when
he drew with Brian London
and kayoed Bob Stallings.
He then lost on
points to “Florida” Al Jones
and Jeff “Candy Slim” Merritt. In 1970 his best win was
a points call over Jimmy “The
King” Fletcher. In 1972 Clark
won and lost to Jack “The Giant” O’Halloran. He was then
stopped in nine rounds by an
up and coming Ken Norton
on the Muhammad Ali-Bob
Foster undercard.
Henry came back to
win three bouts in 1973 and
then on March 4 1974 in a
rematch, Henry blew out the
now ranked Jeff Merritt in
one round. Clark quickly followed with a decision win
over faded ex-contender Mac
Foster.
Henry
remained
unbeaten through four more
fights and was then matched
with the dangerous Earnie
Shavers in Paris, France.
Try as he might for
the KO, Shavers was unable
to stop the wily Clark and
had to settle for a hard earned
points win over Clark.
They met again six
months later on the undercard of Ali-Norton III. This
time Clark was overwhelmed
by the murderous punching
Shavers in two rounds.
Clark attempted to
bounce back four months
later but was defeated during ten by Howard “Kayo”
Smith. Clark did not fight
again for over two and a half
years.
When he did return
he was defeated in ten rounds
by fringe contender Bernardo
Mercado.
Clark’s final tally
was 32 wins, 12 losses and
four draws. He scored seven
knockouts but he was only
stopped on three occasions.
That was by Liston, Norton and Shavers. Surely no
shame there.

Back in the day,
when MTV (Music Television) first aired on cable TV
in 1981, they purposefully labeled themselves a ‘rock and
roll’ music video network. By
their definition, ‘rock and roll’
equaled ‘white’ because they
did not even play any videos
from black rock legend Jimi
Hendrix. They focused on five
specific categories of white
rock music: heavy metal, pop,
punk, rockabilly and new
wave.
However,
heavy
pressure in the music and entertainment industries from
African-American artists soon
changed the philosophy and
rules of the channel. Groundbreaking super-star Michael
Jackson broke their color barrier and became the first black
American artist to have a video
(‘Billie Jean’) shown on MTV.
Later, an AfricanAmerican station like BET
(Black Entertainment Television) appeared in the late 80’s
and showed various black pop,
soul, R&B, gospel and rap videos in regular rotation. Also,
in the now 21st century millennium, black cable networks
such as TV-One, Centric and
Aspire have video-based series
of their own along with other
original programming.
So, in 2001, MTV
finally evolved with the times
and produced a movie musical based around hip-hop entertainment. The film "Save
The Last Dance" is directed
by Thomas Carter (a black actor formally from "The White
Shadow" basketball TV show).
The interracial love story
starred white actress Julia
Stiles (‘O’: Othello) and black
actor Sean Patrick Thomas
(Barbershop and Barbershop
2: Back In Business). Together, the two talented teens
helped create a hip-hop, musical marvel.
After riding a train,
17- year old blonde Caucasian
Sara Johnson (Julia Stiles) is
a former ballet student. She
has recently transferred from
a predominately-white high
school to a predominatelyblack one that is near her father Ray Johnson’s (Terry
Kinney) small apartment he
rents as a jazz musician. On
her first day at the new school,

Chris' Cinema Trivia &
Movie Match Up
she debates with black brilliant
Derek Reynolds (Sean Patrick
Thomas) and funny jokester
‘Snookie’ (Vince Green) in an
English class. At lunch time,
Sara is ‘saved’ from associating with ‘geeks’ in order to sit
with ‘too-cool’ Chenille (Kerry Washington) and the ’ladies
she rolls with,’. When Sara
spots Derek, she starts talking about his ‘arrogance’ until
Chenille embarrasses her by
saying Derek is her brother.
Derek’s wild, thuggish homeboy Malakai (Fredro
Starr of the rap group Onyx)
returns from juvenile detention hall. Derek talks to Chenille and Snookie about waiting for his acceptance letter
from Georgetown University
so that he can become a pediatrician.
In girls gym class,
Chenille sees some of Sara’s
ballet skills on a balance beam.
Derek’s ‘evil’ ex-girlfriend
Nikki (Bianca Lawson) is unimpressed. Chenille invites
Sara to an exclusive hip-hop
club called ‘Steps,’. While
Sara and Chenille are out,
grandmother ‘Momma Dean’
(Dorothy Martin) watches
Chenille’s infant son Christopher.
At Steps, Snookie is
the D.J. who ‘spins’. Chenille
dances with her son’s father
Kenny (Garland Whitt) while
Derek challenges Sara to dance
with him. Malakai gets into a
fight at the club, so Derek restrains him before they both
must run. Derek begins giving Sara hip-hop dance lessons
and she briefly mentions her
background in ballet. As the
couple becomes closer, Derek
reveals to Sara that he remains
friends with Malakai because
when Malakai was caught for
stealing, he did not tell the police that Derek was involved
also.
Later, all the Reynolds are ecstatic when Derek
is accepted into Georgetown.
Derek takes Sara on a ‘surprise date’ where they watch
a special performance of The
Joffrey Ballet of Chicago.
After the show, Sara breaks
down and tells Derek that she
stopped studying ballet because she blames herself for
her mother’s death. Her mother was rushing to see Sara’s
dance audition when she was
killed in a car accident. Derek
assures Sara that it was not her
fault and that she should still
fulfill her ultimate dream to
audition for Julliard. Sara begins training for classical ballet again while continuing her
‘contemporary’ lessons from
Derek.
At the club, Nikki is
green with envy at Derek and
Sara’s dancing and relationship
so she tries to lure him back.
Derek apologizes to Sara. But
later at school, in gym basketball, Nikki fights Sara and accuses her as ‘a white woman
stealing a good black man,’.
Also, a rival ‘crew’ tries to kill
Malakai , Derek and Snookie
in a drive-by shooting while
they were playing hoops.
When Chenille argues with
Kenny about his responsibilities with their baby, she vents
her frustration on Sara by
agreeing with Nikki’s claim.
Derek defends Sara after Malakai calls her ‘trailer trash’, but
Sara has doubts about their relationship anyway. They argue
and decide to break up.
Sara continues her
training without Derek. Chenille apologizes to Derek about
how her comment may have
divided him from Sara. On the
day of her audition, Sara begins her ‘classic’ routine first.
Derek finally cuts Malakai
loose after he wants to go for a
revenge drive-by. He races to
be by Sara’s side.
So, when Derek arrives just in time to give her
the needed extra-support, Sara
completes her contemporary
routine perfectly. The Julliard
judges tell her that she has
been accepted.
To celebrate both of
their individual acceptances,
as well as saving their relationship, Derek and Sara once
again go to Steps to dance with
Chenille, Snookie and others.
"Save The Last
Dance" is a film energized with
infectious, get-off-your-feetand-jam, urban ‘underground’
sounds that are intertwined
with ‘slammin’ jaw-dropping,
dance choreography.
So, despite MTV’s
initial elitist origins, with the
help of director Thomas, they
have redeemed themselves
with a finely-produced piece of
modern musical cinema.

of its past recipients,”
Jones said. “I graciously
share this award with all
of those who put me on
their shoulders to help
me achieve my dreams,
men and women such as
Clark Terry, Ray Charles,
Lionel Hampton, Benny
Carter, Count Basie,
Duke Ellington, Dizzy

and Ella Fitzgerald,
among many others. I
hope that whatever successes I have achieved
in life will serve as inspiration for future generations to reach for their
dreams, as those greats
inspired me when I was
coming up.”
Jones’ career
has encompassed the
roles of composer, record
producer, artist, film producer, arranger, conductor, instrumentalist, TV
producer, record company executive, magazine
founder, multi-media entrepreneur and humanitarian.
As a master
inventor of musical hybrids, he has shuffled
pop, soul, hip-hop, jazz,
classical, African and
Brazilian music into
many dazzling fusions,
traversing virtually every
medium, including records, live performance,
movies and television.
Jones is also a
respected humanitarian.
In 1985, he pioneered
the model of using celebrity to raise money and
awareness for a cause
with “We Are the World.”
The song remains the
best-selling single of alltime, and raised more
than $63 Million for
Ethiopian famine relief.
More importantly, it
shined a spotlight on the
Ethiopian drought, compelling the U.S. Govern-
ment to respond with

& CEO Joe Mazur. “So
many people in Northeast Ohio have wanted
to ride down Derby
Downs in a Soap Box
Derby car. This is their
chance. It’s a great
event for the seniors
and will be more exciting this year with the
addition of health information booths and
health screenings.”
The rain date
for the event is Thursday, September 18.
