‘Your Say’ on Social Security, Medicare at fair
There’s more to the Ohio State Fair this year
than food, games and rides. Ohioans also will have a
chance to make their voices heard in the debate about the
future of Social Security and Medicare. AARP Ohio has
what it calls a “Listening post” right on the midway to
gather people’s thoughts about how to strengthen the programs. Americans have worked hard for these benefits,
says AARP volunteer Virgil Reed, adding that he believes
they’ve earned the right to know what changes politicians
are considering to the programs.

Schools to place levy on ballot
By PAT WHITE
The Cleveland Municipal School District(CMSD) CEO
Eric Gordon and Mayor Frank
Jackson will ask voters this fall to
pass a 15-mill levy.
Not every politician is on
board with a tax increase on an already burdened constiuency.
“They might pass the
levy. They might win the war, but
at what cost for the taxpayers in
Cleveland who are already struggling,” said Councilman Mike
Polensek.
Another concern of Polensek is the Port Authority running a levy at the same time as the
school levy.
“I worry that Clevelanders already struggling to pay the
trash, water, and the possible
Port Authority (added November
levy) increases just cannot afford
the levy at this time, and that they
may flee to the suburbs,” Polensek
said.
Councilman Zach Reed
felt that this increase is too great.
“This is the highest levy
that I have seen in my career, and I
cannot support it at this time when
families are struggling,” Reed
said.
Reed wanted more accountability for the charter schools
in Cleveland to be addressed in the
Transformation Plan.
According to the Ohio
Department of Education, more
than 6,000 school children attend
charter schools that are in Academic Emergengy /Watch and less
than 2,000 attend a chater school
that is rated excellent in Cleveland.
According to Gordon,
more than one third of levy funds
are on track directly to private
charter schools,

and the court ordered its repayhave not beenreimbursed.
In another case, the district received only a fraction of the
21.5 million they lost when the
Greater Heights Academy closed
abruptly in 2008.
The levy would cost the
owner of an average Cleveland
home about $294 more a year.
The city will use a million dollars to campaign for the
levy, and teachers, threatened by
more cuts, will go door to door to
ask voters to pass the levy.
According to Jackson, the
levy would expire after four years
if residents don’t see improvement
in test scores.
Cleveland has 41,000
students. According to a graphic
in the New York Times on July
24, from the U.S. Department of
Education, Cleveland Schools
rank second only to the Detroit
Schools in percentage decrease in
enrollment between 2005-06 and
2009-10 with a loss of 10,396 or
17.7%.
According to
Gordon, the proposed levy is key
to funding the Cleveland Plan for
Transforming Schools.
“We recognize this is
a serious investment, conceding that the request is large. But
do we continue with incremental
gains or do we go to the community with a levy to implement the
Cleveland Plan?” Gordon said.
Gordon has said that the
15-mill levy would be split with
14 mills for the district and one
mill for charter schools.
CMSD board members voted unanimously to seek
the levy. Board members asked
Gordon if the district could have
sought a smaller levy? He relpied,
“Of course we could, but it would
not have felt very good a short
time from now when we were cutting to balance the budget again.”
“Mr. Dimora always voted for
the low bidder and the staff recommended vendor.”
Dimora’s wife Lori,
and children, Anthony, Joey and
Lisa wrote letters on his behalf.
Dimora was convicted
of using campaign contributions, almost $70,000, to pay
the cost of a 50th birthday
party for his wife in July 2006
at Landerhaven, a graduation
party for daughter, Lisa, and
two other parties.

(NAPS)—Expecting couples face dozens of
important decisions-one of
the most critical is whether
to save their baby’s umbilical cord blood. They’ll only
have one opportunity to do
it: in the moments following
their baby’s birth.
Umbilical
cord
blood is a rich source of stem
cells, which are considered
to be the master cells of the
body. For more than two decades, cord blood stem cells
have been used in transplant
medicine to treat a wide variety of serious diseases, including leukemia and other
cancers and blood, immune
and metabolic disorders.
One of the most
promising areas of stem cell
research is regenerative medicine, in which an individual’s own stem cells are used
to repair damaged or diseased
tissues and organs.
Clinical trials are
now under way to evaluate
the benefits of using a child’s
cord blood stem cells in the
treatment of type 1 diabetes,
hearing loss, cerebral palsy
and other brain injuries.
“When cord blood
cells are used to treat an
illness, they’re simply administered to the individual
intravenously, like a blood
transfusion,” said obstetrician-gynecologist
Marra
Francis, M.D. Once in the
body, stem cells can trigger
natural repair processes by
reducing inflammation and
increasing blood flow to injured or diseased areas.
Parents may choose
to donate their baby’s cord
blood to a public bank or
store it in a private banking
facility, but most times, it’s
discarded as medical waste.
Did you know?
If you are an adult with a
chronic health condition like
heart disease, diabetes, or
asthma, or you are 65 or older, you are at increased risk
for a serious infection called
pneumococcal disease. Vaccination can help prevent
pneumococcal disease, but
many African American
adults have not been vaccinated.
What is it? Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by common bacteria that can strike quickly
and lead to death within just
a few days. It kills thousands
of US adults each year. Even
when the infection is not
deadly, treatment can require
hospitalization. Some patients need weeks or months
before they can return to
work or participate in other
daily activities.
Why are African
Americans at risk? Anyone
can get pneumococcal disease, but African American
adults are more at risk than
others. André L. Churchwell,
MD, member of the Association of Black Cardiologists
explains it this way: “African
American adults face a triple
threat from pneumococcal
disease:
1. They are more likely
to have one of the medical
conditions that can make
pneumococcal disease particularly dangerous like heart
disease, diabetes, asthma,
HIV/AIDS, or sickle cell disease.
2. Life-threatening forms of
the infection happen more often in African Americans.
3. They are less likely to
have been vaccinated.”
“Only about four in
ten African Americans age
65 or older and less than two
in ten younger adults with
chronic conditions have been
vaccinated against pneumococcal disease,” said Thomas
M. File, Jr., MD, presidentelect of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases
(NFID).
Both Dr. Churchwell and Dr. File urge adults
to ask their healthcare provider about vaccination at
their next visit.
Who should get
vaccinated? You should ask
your doctor or pharmacist
about pneumococcal vaccination if you are: age 65 or
older or age 19-64 with any
of the following: asthma,
diabetes; heart, liver, lung
or kidney disease; immune
problems, including HIV/
AIDS, cancer, damaged/absent spleen, sickle cell disease, alcoholism, cochlear
implants or cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Also, any adult who
smoke or live in a long-term
care facility also needs to be
vaccinated.
Here are the five
reasons from NFID for why
these adults should get vaccinated:
Vaccination is the
best and safest way to protect
against pneumococcal disease.
If you’re a healthy adult
age 65 or older, it’s a simple
step that can help you stay
healthy.
If you have a chronic illness such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease, vaccination can help protect you
from serious complications
of infection.
Even if vaccination does
Donation to public banks is free but the cord
blood is not reserved for the
family’s exclusive use. Parents who want to ensure that
their baby’s cord blood will
be available for their family’s
future use can choose to store
it with a private cord-blood
bank. In many cases, interestfree payment plans and gift
registries are available at private cord-blood banks.

A judicial review
panel has sided in favor of
Ohio Supreme Court candidate Bill O’Neill, ruling he
can use his former title of
“judge” in campaign literature. With this decision, the
13-member panel overturned
a previous ruling that using his former title of judge
violated a canon of Ohio’s
Judicial Code of Conduct. In
response, Ohio Democratic
Chairman Chris Redfern released the following statement:
“Bill O’Neill has a
strong record of service to
our state and country. His experience as a judge, an army
officer, and a registered nurse
help Bill understand the important issues that face our
Ohio Supreme Court justices.
I’m glad a panel of Bill’s

complaint against him and
agreed he has conducted his

O’Neill’s campaign literature
violated a canon of Ohio’s Judicial Code of Conduct. Canon 4.3 (C) bars former judges
from referring to themselves

Islam In The Community
It’s time for Muslims to honor the Holy Month of Ramadan
Editor’s Note: The Holy Month
of Ramadan starts on Saturday,
July 21, and last for 30 days until
Sunday, August 19th. Eid al-Fitr
marks the end of Ramadan.
By HASHIM A. KHALIQ
It’s that time of the year
again! Many of you feel this way
when the holiday season comes
around.
Usually for many
Americans this season is a time
for joy, celebration and gift giving.
Well when a Muslim
says: “It’s that time a year!;”
were talking about the wonderful
month of fasting.
Not to be confused
with or compared to Christmas,
it’s Ramadan, a blessed month of
joy and sacrifice for the pleasure
Allah (GOD).
We e n c o u r a g e you
if you have Muslim neighbors,
family members, and/or acquaintances to ask them about the Holy
Month or Ramadan.
It is something that
we as Muslims are very excited
about and love to participate in.
Fasting is one of the
five pillars of Islam.
It has been an integral
part of all major religions.
The Prophet Jesus
(peace be upon him) fasted for
40 days before he was called to
prophethood (Matthew 4:2).
Similarly Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) fasted
for 40 days and 40 nights before
he was given the law (Exodus
24:18)
Fasting in Ramadan
is a part of the broader program
that Islam prescribers for man
to fulfill his moral and spiritual
destiny in this world and in the
hereafter.
It is the special worship
designed to develop in man the
ability to exercise self-restraint
and patience for the pleasure of
Allah, man’s Creator, Lord and
Nourisher.
The objective of fasting is to give us human beings
the power to keep in check our
unruly desires and tendencies that
make us prone to greed, revenge,
anger,
A Look At My World
Pigs can fly, but not with me
Dr. James L Snyder, D.Litt.
It is time for good
old Uncle George to pay up.
For years, at least as long as
I can remember, he always
eluded everything by saying, “I’ll do that when pigs
fly.” Or, “I’ll give you $100
for that when pigs fly.” My
favorite might be, “I’ll go to
church when pigs fly.”
Well, Uncle George,
it is time for you to pay up for
all of those promises in the
past.
According to some
airlines, pigs can fly. I am not
sure I have all of the facts,
but then again facts have
little to do with most stories
going around these days. All
I know, certain airlines will
allow you to carry on board
your pet pig if it is important to you for your mental
well-being. After all, only the
pilots are allowed to be mentally off when it comes to flying.
I must confess that
my least favorite mode of
transportation is flying. Now,
according to some rumors
flying around, I have more
reasons not to like flying.
I think the cost of
flying his discouraged me
from enjoying the flight. It
seems terribly expensive to
squeeze your body into the
seat made for a person half
your size so that you can pay
double the price.
It takes me about
a half hour to get myself
squeezed into a seat and manipulate the seatbelt to go all
the way around me. By that
time, I need to go to the restroom. Why I do not think of
that before I sit down is one
of those mysteries of nature
that never will be solved. Another half hour to extradite
myself from the seat and go
and stand in line at the restroom for another half hour
and then come back and
squeeze myself back into the
seat and again manipulate the
seatbelts. By that time, I am
totally exhausted.
Another reason I am
not too fond of flying has to
do with the cuisine. When
you mentioned airline food,
the term cuisine does not
readily come to mind. Whatever they serve on board has
nothing whatsoever to resemble nutritious cuisine.
I think some of these
people who are going to begin taking their pigs on board
might take this into consideration. If the food is as bad as
it has been, somebody, like
yours truly, might look at that
pig with a certain cuisine activity in mind. I am not adverse to a nicely roasted pork
for lunch. In fact, I am going
to start taking apples with me
when I fly just in case the occasion presents itself.
I suppose the biggest reason I do not like flying has to do with the seats.
Whoever designed airline
seats never had an encounter with a real man. I believe
they thought that the only
people who would ever fly
an airplane would be heightchallenged people. Those
who would not take up much
space. Perhaps also they were
thinking of people who were
posteriorly-challenged.
Have you looked at
people lately? There are very
few posteriorly-challenged
people left in the world anymore. Perhaps they were
thinking of those days when
people had to work their
butts off making a living.
Now, no such activity is being exercised in our country.
Now that pigs are
going to be able to fly the

friendly skies, what’s next?
I have endured all
kinds of people during my
years of flying. Now, not
only do I have to share my
seat with suffocating, boring,
chatty people, but also I need
to make room for pigs.
Who was it that
made this decision? Who
was it that sat down and said,
“You know, I think it would
be a good idea if we allowed
pigs to fly on airplanes.”
It is obvious that
the people who made this
decision are not familiar
with pigs. Perhaps they
were thinking of Porky Pig.
Now, there is a pig I would
not mind traveling with in
the friendly skies. The conversation would probably
be better than some of the
conversations I have had in
similar situations. Of course,
his stuttering might drive me
crazy.
Being a country
boy, I know what a pig is.
My grandfather used to raise
pigs, so, I have been around
pigs and know what they
are like and, most importantly, how bad they smell.
It is a well-known fact that
the reason pigs have such
large snouts is because they
smell so bad. And they enjoy
smelling bad.
I can think of one
reason why the airlines want
to include pigs in the list of
passengers. Most of them
serve food only a pig would
like.
I know that being
“politically correct” is a mandate in our culture. I further
know that criticizing stupidity in our culture is a huge nono. In fact, to recognize such
absurdity is a reflection upon
your character. For anybody
to think that a pig does not
belong in a seat beside you
as you fly the friendly skies
is some kind of antediluvian
moron.
I think Solomon got
it right when he said, “And I
gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness
and folly: I perceived that
this also is vexation of spirit.
For in much wisdom is much
grief: and he that increaseth
knowledge increaseth sorrow” (Ecclesiastes 1:17-18
KJV ).
Uncle George, it is
pay up time, I’ll see you in
church Sunday.

truth, kindness, peace, compassion and justice.
Fas t ing in the month
of Ramadan is compulsory on
every Muslim adult.
The Arabic word sawm
is used for fasting.
The word sawm (plural siyam) literally means ‘to
refrain’, but as an Islamic term,
it means refraining from food,
drinks and sexual activity from
dawn to sunset.
Allah says in the
Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah (2183):
‘O you who believe,
fasting is prescribed on you as
it was prescribed to those before
you so that you may become selfrestrained.’
The importance of
Siyam in Ramadan is clearly expressed in several sayings of the
Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).
It is reported by Abu
Hurairah tha the Prophet said:
‘He who fasts during
Ramadan with faith and seeks his
reward from Allah will have his
past sins forgiven; he who prays
during the night in Ramadan with
faith and seeks his reward from
Allah will have his past sins forgiven; and he who passes Lailat
al-Qadr in prayer with faith and
seeks his reward from Allah will
have his past sins forgiven.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Fasting in Ramadan is
practiced by Muslims all over the
world.
Academy graduates new class members
The Ohio State Bar
Association (OSBA) will
graduate the third class of
its Leadership Academy,
which is designed to identify future leaders in the
legal community and provide them with support and
training. The graduation
ceremony was held on Friday, July 13, at the OSBA
headquarters in Columbus.
The OSBA initiated the Leadership Academy to help prepare young
lawyers to become leaders
in their firms, in their communities and in the legal
profession.
This program familiarizes participants with
the vast resources of the
OSBA, introduces them to
the broader legal community, and provides them with
enhanced leadership skills.
Members of the
graduating class include
lawyers from large and
small firms, in large cities
and small towns, from a
variety of legal disciplines.

Specifically, OSBA’s Leadership Academy
seeks to:
Identify and train
lawyers for future opportunities for leadership in the
OSBA, the profession and
in the community;
Nurture effective
leadership with respect to
ethical, professional and
community service issues;
Raise the level of
awareness among lawyers
regarding the broad range
of issues facing the legal
profession and to build relationships among legal
leaders across the state and
experience levels; and
Create a cadre of
lawyers upon which the
OSBA, state and local government entities, local bar
associations and community
organizations can call on for
leadership and service. This
interactive leadership training program is conducted
during a seven-month period. Sessions cover issues
such as: leadership, ethics
and professionalism; state
and local government; access to justice; community
service, economic development; etc. Participants learn
skills to become effective
writers and public speakers.
They
become
problem solvers and effective lawyer leaders. Speakers and mentors include
leaders from the bench and
bar, state and local government and the community.
At least 12 credit hours of
continuing legal education
(CLE) are available for the
program. At the conclusion
of the program, participants
are asked to prepare an individual leadership plan
based on their experiences
in the academy.
Class size for
Academy programs is limited to 24 lawyers. Candidates must be in practice at
least five years but fewer
than 10 years. Invitation to
the Leadership Academy is
made by the president of
the association upon nomination. Selection is based
on many factors, including
stated commitment to the
goals of the Academy; and
diversity (geographic, gender, ethnic, racial, age, disability, etc.).
The most significant
aspect of Siyam is the development of Allahconsciousness
(Taqwa) in
the heart and the soul of a fasting
Muslim.
One must abstain from
immoral behavior and attitude as
well.
Refraining from rood
and such is essential during fast
but it is not sufficient. The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have
has no need for his abandoning of
his food and drink. (Al-Bukhari)
Fasting is mandatory
on every Muslim who is sane,
adult, able and resident. The following exemptions apply:
1. The insane;
2. Children who are not
adolescent yet;
3. The elderly and
chronically ill for whom fasting
is unreasonably strenuous; Such
persons are required to feed at
least one poor person every day
in Ramadan for which he or she
has missed fasting.
4. Pregnant women and
nursing may postpone the fasting
at a later time;
5. The ill and the travelers can also defer their fasting.
Allah says in the Qur’an, Surah
Al-Baqara.
‘But if anyone is ill,
or on a journey, the prescribed
period should be made up by days
later. Allah intends every facility
for you; He does not want to put
you to difficulties.’
6. Women during the
period of menstruation of post
childbirth. Fasting during these
periods is forbidden and should
be made up later, a day for a day.
Duration of the daily
fast:
Fasting starts everyday
in Ramadan at the break of dawn,
which is also a little bit before the
start of the Salatul Fajr: the first of
the five daily prayers. Fasting
ends at sunset or with the call of
Salatul Maghrib: the 4th of the
five daily prayers.
In closing, following
the path of good is often unpalatable, and involves struggle
against on’s own desires and
interests.
It may also sometimes
mean doing or saying what one
considers true but is not popular
and hence risking the anger and
displeasure of others, sometimes
of these most near and dear.
To stand strong under
these situations and steadfastly
follow the right path requires a
great deal of inner strength and
selfrestraint- a prime moral and
human quality-to choose what
is right and then abide by it notwithstanding the difficulties and
sacrifices.
“Wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leads to
destruction, and many there are
that follow it, whereas “strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leads to life, and few are
who find it.”
Islam seeks to guide
us onto the path to paradise and
prepare us for it through worship,
prayers, charity and fasting.
All these are meant to
enable us to exercise control over
our own lives.
We hope that these as
well as all of our articles about
our way of life a little better.
May Allah bless us with patience,
understanding and respect for one
another. We welcome all serious
correspondence.
Thanks again for the
very positive responses.
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful

Legal Court Interpretation
Court explains the process of sentencing
In June of 2007,
a jury found Jack Carlisle
guilty of kidnapping and
gross sexual imposition in
connection with the sexual
assault of his 6-year-old foster daughter. A month later,
the trial court sentenced Carlisle to three years’ imprisonment for the kidnapping
charge and one year for the
gross sexual imposition.
The sentences were
to be served concurrently,
giving Carlisle a total of three
years in prison. That was to
be followed by five years of
mandatory post-release control, which is a period of supervision by the adult parole
authority.
The trial court also
classified Carlisle as a sexually oriented offender, granted him 278 days of jail-time
credit – for the time he spent
in jail awaiting his trial. Then
the court suspended execution of his sentence and continued his bond pending an
appeal. However, two days
later the clerk of the court
journalized the final, appealable order that reflected his
sentence.
When Carlisle took
his case to the court of appeals, he challenged his convictions but didn’t raise any
issues regarding his sentence.
The court of appeals affirmed
Carlisle’s convictions, issued
a special mandate to the trial
court to carry the judgment
into execution, revoked his
bail, and sent the case back to
the trial court for execution
of sentence.
Having exhausted
his appeals, and facing revocation of his bond and imprisonment, Carlisle filed a
motion in February of 2009
with the trial court to reconsider and modify his sentence. Carlisle suffered from
chronic, life-threatening con-
ditions, and he argued that
the trial court had authority to
modify his sentence because
it had not been “executed” –
that is, he had not yet been
delivered to the state prison.
The motion filed by
his attorneys stated: “This
Court must ask itself whether
Mr. Carlisle’s punishment is
worth the cost” in light of his
“expensive” medical treatment, which included kidney
dialysis three times a week.
The state opposed
the motion. It acknowledged
the significant medical expenses associated with Carlisle’s incarceration but essentially said that it was willing
to bear those costs in light of
the seriousness of his offenses. The state further argued
that Carlisle’s medical conditions didn’t prevent him from
committing the offenses and,
therefore, incarceration was
necessary for the protection
of the community.
But the court granted Carlisle’s motion and set a
resentencing date. The state
filed a response to that, asserting that the trial court lacked
authority to modify its final
judgment. Nevertheless, the
court vacated Carlisle’s sentence “due to change of circumstances” and conducted a
resentencing hearing, where
Carlisle’s attorneys noted that
his dialysis alone costs Medicare and his private insurer
$100,000 a year.
At the hearing, the
court mentioned that the state
is “cutting budgets everywhere” and that “the costs in
this situation are going to be
astronomical.” It then found
that Carlisle did not pose a
threat to the community and
imposed a sentence of five
years of community control,
with no time in prison.
When the case once
again went back to the court
of appeals, it reversed the
trial court’s ruling. The court
of appeals agreed with Carlisle that a trial court has authority to modify a criminal
sentence until the defendant
is delivered to the prison to
begin serving the sentence,
but it concluded that the trial court lacked authority to
modify Carlisle’s sentence
because his convictions had
been affirmed by the court
of appeals when Carlisle had
filed his initial appeal.
After that, the case
came before us – the Ohio
Supreme Court – for final
review. In writing our majority opinion, Chief Justice
Maureen O’Connor noted
that in his argument to our
court, Carlisle’s attorney
conceded that “the trial court
lacked authority to modify a
final sentence.” His attorney
claimed instead that “the trial
court had unfettered authority to resentence him because
his sentence had not yet been
executed and, therefore, was
not yet final.” We disagreed.
A criminal sentence
is final upon issuance of a
final order – that is to say,
when the judgment has been
journalized. In this case, a
valid judgment of conviction
was journalized on July 13,
2007. But the trial court purported to modify Carlisle’s
sentence nearly two years
later. “The trial court’s attempt to do so,” Chief Justice
O’Connor wrote, “was improper.”
Carlisle’s argument
that a sentence is not final
until it is executed evolved
from an earlier time, when
trial courts had the authority to modify a criminal sentence at any time before it
was executed. But that authority no longer exists. As a
consequence, the court cases
that appeared to support Car-
lisle’s position suffered from
a fundamental flaw: they relied on laws that have since
been repealed.
One of those laws –
which was called the “shock
probation” statute – used to
authorize trial courts to impose probation on defendants
who had served a specified
portion of their prison sentences – thus, the defendant
got the “shock” of incarceration before the “probation”
phase of the sentence.
Another of those
laws provided that after sentencing for a felony – up to
the time the defendant was
delivered to the prison where
he was to serve his sentence
– the court was allowed to
suspend the sentence and
place the defendant on probation.
But both laws have
been repealed, and thus the
court opinions that arose
from those laws no longer
apply. Nevertheless, Carlisle argued that a trial court
retains the authority to modify a final criminal sentence
until it is executed because
the Ohio General Assembly
has not expressly prohibited
such modifications. We disagreed. The repeal of the
laws that were mentioned
earlier unequivocally constituted a withdrawal of the
authority that the courts once
had to modify sentences.
For those reasons,
we concluded – by a sevento-zero vote – to affirm the
judgment of the court of appeals, although we did so on
different grounds from those
relied on by that court. And
with this decision, we sent
the case back to the trial
court to execute the original
sentence, sending Carlisle
to prison for the sexual assault of his 6-year-old foster
daughter.
Weekly Wealth For Your Health
What happens when you can’t pay your medical bills
By Jason Alderman
It’s no secret that
health care costs have been
spiraling out of control for
years. To fight back, your
best bet is to be a well-informed consumer: Know
the true costs of medical
procedures, supplies and
medications so you can bargain effectively; carefully
anticipate and track medical
expenses; and stay on top of
your bills.
But
sometimes,
even when you follow
the rules you still can get
burned. I’ve heard many appalling stories about people
– even those with comprehensive insurance – who
have been denied benefits,
over-charged, sent to collections or even forced to file
for bankruptcy because they
couldn’t pay their medical
bills.
Here are a few coping strategies:
Carefully review
each doctor, lab or hospital bill and match it against
the Explanation of Benefits
statement that shows how
much they were reimbursed
by the insurance company.
Also, watch for
items that may have been
charged to you by mistake
such as:
Medications, supplies, treatments or meals
you didn’t receive while hospitalized or getting an outpatient procedure.
Duplicate charges
for a single procedure (such
as x-rays, MRIs and lab
work), including those that
had to be redone due to a
technician’s error.
Charges for a full
day’s hospitalization when
you checked out early; or
private room rates when you
shared a suite.
The summary hospital bill you were sent probably doesn’t contain many
details, so ask for an itemized bill along with a copy
of your medical chart and a
pharmacy ledger showing
which drugs you were given
during your stay.
If you’re having
difficulty paying a medical
bill, don’t simply ignore it.
Like any creditor, doctors
and hospitals often turn unpaid bills over to collection
agencies, which will wreak
havoc with your credit score.
Contact creditors
as soon as possible, explain

your situation and ask them
to set up an installment payment plan or work out a reduced rate.
Many people with
no insurance discover that
they’re often charged much
higher rates than those negotiated by insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid.
Don’t be afraid to
ask for those lower rates
and to work out a repayment
plan – just be sure to get the
agreement in writing.
Most doctors and
hospitals would rather accept reduced payments than
have to deal with collection
agencies and possibly no reimbursement at all.
Ask the hospital’s
patient liaison to review
your case and see whether
you qualify for financial
assistance from the government, a charitable organization or the hospital itself.
Most will forgive
some or all bills for people
whose income falls below
certain amounts tied to federal poverty levels. Also
pursue this avenue with your
doctor or other provider –
ideally before they’ve begun collections.
A few additional
cost-savings tips:
Ask whether your
employer offers flexible
spending accounts, which
let you pay for eligible outof-pocket health care and/or
dependent care expenses on
a pre-tax basis.
Use online pricecomparison services like
Healthcare Blue Book and
OutofPocket.com to research going rates for a variety of medical services.
Unless it’s a true
emergency, try to avoid
emergency rooms and use
an urgent care network facility affiliated with your
insurance company or ask
your doctor for recommendations. Bottom line: Know
what health services cost
and don’t be afraid to negotiate. You’ll haggle over the
price of a car – why not your
health?

You And The Law
Member-owned credit unions offer alternatives
union?
Q: What is a credit
A: A credit union is
a not-for-profit financial cooperative that is owned by its
members. A credit union focuses on the needs of all who
qualify for membership under
its charter, granted through
the National Credit Union
Administration or through its
state government. In Ohio,
the Ohio Department of Financial Institutions governs
and supervises its state-chartered credit unions.
Government regulations require credit unions
to restrict their membership
to defined groups (such as
those who live or work in a
specific place, work for a particular company or trade, or
belong to a specific non-profit
group such as a church or an
alumni association). Rather
than serving customers, credit
unions only serve members
who are within a particular
“field of membership.”
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of
joining a credit union?
A: People generally join credit unions because
they offer high levels of service, competitive interest
rates on loans, high interest on
savings and lower fees for services. Because they are member-owned and operate under
a “people helping people”
philosophy, credit unions also
create a sense of community.
In addition, a person who does
not qualify for a loan with other financial institutions may
be welcome at a credit union.
While most credit
unions offer the same services
as a typical bank, some credit
unions are too small to offer every service a customer
might need.
A credit union probably would not be able to
provide all of the services
necessary for a large corporation or for a trust that needs a
financial institution to act as a
trustee.
Q: How do I join a
credit union?
A: Visit www.FindACreditUnion.com for a
list of credit unions in your
area. Your eligibility to join
a particular credit union may
depend on your location, occupation or affiliations.
Q: Why are credit
unions tax-exempt?
A: Congress elected
in 1937 (and reaffirmed in
1951 and 1998) to exempt
credit unions from federal
income taxes because they
are non-for-profit, mutually
owned, democratically controlled institutions that have
no capital stock and rely
heavily on volunteers.
Credit unions provide a low-cost alternative
to for-profit banks, keeping
bank fees in check. Their
profits are driven back into
credit union operations, rather than paid out to outside
stockholders as in banks.
Moreover, a credit union’s
Board of Directors is elected
from the membership and is
not compensated.
All credit unions
are exempt from paying income taxes, but only federally chartered credit unions
are exempt from state sales
taxes. Credit unions do pay
taxes, including property and
payroll taxes. Also, credit
union members pay taxes on
dividends and interest, and
state-chartered credit unions
must pay state sales taxes.
Q: Are all credit
unions the same?
A: No. A credit
union typically reflects its
field of membership. For
example, if most members
want their credit union to
provide a good rate of return
on deposits, but do not need
many other services, the
credit union’s offerings will
reflect that.
Today, however,
most credit unions try to offer as many services as possible to compete in the marketplace. Each credit union
can choose whether to be
chartered through the state or
the federal government; each
chartering method provides
particular regulatory advantages.
Q: Are credit union
deposits insured?
A: Yes. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) provides
government insurance on
deposits of up to $250,000 or
higher for federally insured
credit unions, which is comparable to the bank deposit
insurance provided by the
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).
Q: Do credit unions
use the latest technology?
A: Many credit
unions offer Internet-based
services such as online account transactions and bill
paying, and most belong to
ATM networks.
Unique to the credit
union movement is a service
called “shared branching”
that allows a member to access his or her account at other credit unions throughout
the state and nation.
Q: Where can I learn
more?
A: Visit the following Web sites: The Credit
Union National Association:
http://www.cuna.org/. The
Ohio Credit Union System:
http://www.ohiocreditunions.
org. The National Association

Indians keep their head above water with losses
By KARL BRYANT
this year after he chastised
Tribe fans who’d voiced their
displeasure during a game
he came close to losing, but
fortunately saved. The Front
Office quickly began damage
control, saying they appreciated fans’ support and for
them to understand that Perez
is an emotional person. All
seems to have been smoothed
over concerning the fans’ relationship with Perez and visa
versa.
Unfortunately, the
Tribe lost the next two while
in Canada. On Saturday, Ubaldo Jimenez, who afterward
understated, “Everything was
wrong today,” tied a career
high by giving up eight runs
before heading to the showers
in the 3rd inning. The lucky
recipient of the Blue Jays offensive explosion was Old
Friend Aaron Laffey, who
still looks like he’s 14-years
old.
He gave up four runs
in five innings and recorded
his first win of 2012. Shelley Duncan’s HR was one of
the few Tribe bright spots as
Toronto built an 11-4 lead.
Perez
Jesse Chavez then became
the proverbial “fireman with
gasoline in his hose,” coming
on in the 8th inning for the
Jays, facing four batters, and
getting nobody out. Michael
Brantley and Casey Kotchman clubbed HRs off of him
as the Tribe plated five, but
the rally could not undue the
early damage.
The day after making things interesting in that
11-9 defeat, the Indians got
nothing going. Derek Lowe
absorbed a 3-0 loss, pitching
well other than giving up the
Santana
three runs in the 3rd inning.
Sadly, the Tribe was unable to
push anyone across the plate
against Carlos Villanueva,
who was recently promoted
to Toronto ’s starting rotation
from the Bullpen, and two
other pitchers.
Returning to the
states, the Indians started
out their first game against
Tampa Bay nicely - smacking
ringing doubles - but could
only score three early runs.
Happily, that was enough as
Zach McAllister, who’s been
pitching very well, improved
start that put them within
a game of 1st place , the
Gladiators have been on a
skid during the second half
of the season. Their 8363 loss to 12-5 Utah last
week officially ended any
playoff hopes, but they’ve
shown they’ll put up a
fight, no matter who the
opponent.
The Gladiators of
the American Conference
will play Chicago of the
National Conference in
Saturday’s season finale.
To highlight the
disparity between second
tier teams in the respective conferences battling
for AFL Wild Card spots,
Cleveland is 7-10 and was
eliminated just last week,
while Chicago is 10-7, but
Roy Jones Jr. and
TNT Promotions recently
gave boxing fans a great
boxing show with one amateur bout and six professional bouts at the Rivers
Casino’s Outdoor Amphitheater in Pittsburg, PA.
Two Ohio fighters
fought on the card. In the
opening bout heavyeight
amateur A.J. Materna from
Canton won by a RSC in the
first round over Josh Himes
from Pittsburgh. In another
bout Steven Tyner from Ak-
ron boxed to a draw against
Jacque Lutz from Pittsburgh. There was one knock
down in this heavyweight
bout when Tyner caught
Lutz with a right hand in the
fourth and final round.
The main event
featured super feather
weights Monty Meza-Clay
with a win over Emmanuel
Lucero; in a super middleweight bout Lennox Allen won by a TKO in the
fourth round over Michael
Walker; in a super lightweight bout Curtis Morton
and Billy Hutchinson was
a draw ; in a welterweight
bout Samuel Vasquez decisioned Anthony Willis; and
in a heavyweight bout Daniel Martz TKO’d Jon Hill in
the fourth round.
Football season is
upon us. The Cleveland Browns
open their 2012 Training Camp
in Berea on Saturday, July 28.
Fans are encouraged to check
out the new team members and
returning veterans at practice,
which is open to the public.
Practices on Saturday, July 28,
Sunday, July 29, and Monday,
July 30, begin at 8:45 a.m. and
last until 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, August 1, practice will be
in the afternoon from 2 p.m.
until 4:30 p.m. Per the Collective Bargaining Agreement, no
“two-a-days” allowed, there
will be one practice per day.
The Indians began the
“second half” of the season
against AL East Division
teams following the All-Star
Break and went 3-4 on the
road to drop into 3rd place in
the AL Central. They are just
above .500, but even more
disconcerting, were shut out
twice this week. They now
host the East’s Baltimore in a
four game series.
A three game trip to
Toronto started great as Justin
Masterson outdueled Ricky
Romero in a 1-0 pitcher’s
battle victory on Friday. Travis Hafner’s 2nd inning solo
HR held up. Chris Perez recorded the save, which had to
bring a sigh of relief from the
Tribe’s fiery closer. He had
blown the save opportunity
in the first game of the season
and blown the save opportunity in the last game of the
“first half” before the All-Star
Game, but saved 24 straight
in between. This big save got
him back on track.
Perez had made national sports headlines earlier
to 4-1 by going six innings
and giving up only one run.
Reliever Esmil Rogers gave
up a solo HR, but the Tribe
hung on for a 3-2 win as Perez
recorded save No. 26.
In the second game
of the series, Josh Tomlin
lost 4-2 after giving up three
runs in the 1st inning and five
Rays pitchers held the Indians in check. Tomlin also allowed his first stolen base in
two years as Desmond Jennings was called safe at 2B
in the sixth, and subsequently
scored an insurance run on a
base hit.
Tribe Manager Manny Acta (and others) thought
Tomlin’s ‘steal-less streak’
should still be alive, saying,
“The guy was out at 2B, but
what are you going to do?”
The Indians displayed some resolve the next
day as they battled back after
Justin Masterson had given up seven hits and seven
walks, while allowing TB
to steal four bases and score
four runs. The Tribe tallied
three in the 5th inning and
then took the lead by scoring
five runs with two out in the
7th inning. Highlighting the
comeback was Carlos Santana, who’d been looking pretty bad lately at the plate. He
hit a 3-run HR, his first long
ball since the 2012 Republican primaries still mattered.
Santana
also
knocked in one of two insurance runs in the 9th. Rogers
, in relief as the pitcher of
record when the Tribe took
the lead, notched his first
Cleveland victory. The Indians could muster nothing in
the series finale, losing 6-0.
David Price improved to a
league-best 13-4, while allowing only two hits. Tampa
Bay ’s Luke Scott, who broke
a 41 at bat hitless streak with
a HR when the Rays visited Cleveland last week and
then hit another the next day,
smacked his first round-tripper since then.
Scott, who played
for the AA Akron Aeros a decade ago before being traded,
can’t wait to see Tribe pitchers again as he is 14 for 30
(.424), with 3 HR and 9 RBI
against them this year.

Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
Frazier outslugs Jerry Quarry in epic battle
At New York’s
Madison Square Garden
on June 23,1969, Joe Frazier met the popular Irish
fighter, Jerry Quarry, for
the New York State recognized heavyweight title.
During that time, the New
York State Athletic Commission wielded quite a bit
of power. Commissioner
Edwin Dooley wasted little
time stripping Muhammad
Ali of his heavyweight title
when Ali refused induction
into the Armed Forces. The
World Boxing Association
did the same and they set up
a tournament to determine a
new champion. Eight top
contenders were selected,
with unbeaten Joe Frazier
being one of them. Frazier’s
management declined the
invitation, however. The
eventual winner of the tourney was Jimmy Ellis, who
defeated Jerry Quarry in the
finals.
The N.Y.S.A.C.
offered Frazier a chance to
fight Buster Mathis, who
like Frazier, was undefeated. Mathis had defeated
Frazier twice in the amateur
ranks. The winner would
be the champion in New
York and a few other states.
Well, Frazier met Big Buster and took him out in the
11th round to gain revenge
and also win a piece of the
Frazier
heavyweight title.
Although the talented Jimmy Ellis held the
more recognized WBA title,
Frazier was considered by
most as the best active heavyweight. They would eventually meet to settle their differences.
The bout with Quarry would be considered as
a measuring stick between
Frazier and Ellis. Frazier had
labored through two decision wins over rugged Oscar
Bonavena. In their first ten
rounder, Bonavena had Frazier down twice but Frazier
rallied to get the verdict.
Their second bout
saw Frazier and Bonavena slug it out for 15 tough
rounds, with Frazier again
getting the decision. In between the two Frazier-Bo-
Quarry
navena battles, Bonavena met
Jimmy Ellis. In one of Ellis’
best career performances,
he floored the granite jawed
Bonavena twice to win a
convincing decision. Based
on those bouts, Ellis seemed
to have an edge on Frazier.
In the Quarry bout, Frazier
needed to make a statement.
Quarry was no
pushover, however. He was
ranked as one of the five best
heavyweights in the world.
He did a number on Buster
Mathis just three months
before meeting Frazier winning a lopsided 12 rounder.
Not surprizingly, there were
a lot of people who thought
Quarry had a real chance of
winning.
The bout itself was
non stop action, a real heavyweight slugfest. To his credit,
Quarry always came to fight
and you never had to look
for Frazier. Early in the first
round, it was toe to toe action. Knowing that both
boxers could bang, the fans
were really enjoying this.
Each fighter was rocked a
bit but they were still standing at the end of a terrific
round.
The next two
rounds were more of the
same, as they slugged it
out on the inside. By round
four, it was becoming apparent that Quarry was
fighting Frazier’s fight. Frazier began breaking down
Quarry who gamely fought
back. As the bout wore on,
Quarry was cut and he was
getting staggered by Frazier’s famous left hook.
It ended in seven.
Quarry had a severe cut and
at this point Frazier had taken command. It was a gruelling fight though and even
in losing Quarry won a ton
of respect from this courageous performance.
Quarry and frazier
is no longer with us. Jerry
Quarry will join his brother
Mike Quarry, who was a
fine boxer in his own right.
This was one of my favorite heavyweight battles. It
is hard for me to believe it
took place almost 43 years
ago.

MENU TIPS
(NAPS)—Enjoying garden-fresh fruits and
vegetables can help you look
and feel good, especially
once you learn how to dress
them up as mouthwatering
sensations. Making your own
dressings is easy and pays off
in terms of both taste and nutrition.
“Take advantage of
farmers markets and enjoy
fresh produce,” says Robin
Miller, M.S., host of the Food
Network’s “Quick Fix Meals
with Robin Miller,” who developed the CanolaInfo “Get
Dressed for Summer” Recipe Collection. “Homemade
salad dressings add so much
flavor and can be prepared in
minutes.”
The recipe collection showcases the bounty of
fresh produce and flavor advantages of homemade dressings. Each recipe can be prepared in just 10 to 15 minutes
and is made with canola oil,
which has the least saturated
fat and most omega-3 fat of
all common cooking oils.
Recipes include:
Zucchini, Squash
and Grape Tomato Salad with
Basil Vinaigrette Mixed Berry, Cucumber and Mint Salad
with Lime Dressing Wilted
Rainbow Chard with Seared
Eggplant and Parsley Vinaigrette

Berry is the poet
laureate of rock and roll. In
the mid-fifties, he took a
fledgling idiom, born out of
rhythm & blues and country
& western, and gave it form
and identity. A true original,
Berry crafted many of rock
and roll’s greatest riffs and
married them to lyrics that
shaped the rock and roll vernacular for generations.
He has written numerous rock and roll clas-
sics that have been covered
by multitudes of artists and
stood the test of time. In all
essential ways, he understood
the power of rock and roll –
how it worked, what it was
about and who it was for.
While no individual
can be said to have invented
rock and roll, Berry arguably
did more than anyone else to
put the pieces together.
Each year, the
American Music Masters®
series explores the legacy of
a pioneering rock and roll figure in a range of events that
includes museum exhibits,
lectures, films, a major conference and a tribute concert
benefiting the Rock Hall’s
education programs. Drawing together experts, artists,
fans and friends, these events
provide new perspectives on
the most beloved and influential musicians of the past
century.
Rock Hall to honor Chuck Berry at American Music Masters series
The Rock and Roll and Case Western Reserve
Hall of Fame and Museum University will honor rock

Essential party-planning tips for great summer gatherings
(NAPS)—Whether you’re planning a backyard get-together or celebrating a special summer
occasion, a few easy-tofollow tips can help make
your party simply spectacular.
1. Make a list:
Create a party prep list the
week before your event.
Pick up all ingredients,
food, beverages, tableware, decorations and so
on one to two days prior,
so you can avoid last-minute trips to the store.
2. Showcase your
own go-to recipes: Rely on
simple yet tried-and-true
crowd-pleasers. Everyone
has a signature dish-it’s
time to show off yours!
3. Take shortcuts:
You can cut down prep
time and still offer guests
unique dishes by adding
your own twist on readymade salsas and dips.
4. Match the foods
you serve with your guests’
tastes:
• If you are expecting a chatty group, stock
up on Tostitos Scoops!
tortilla chips so guests can
dip and socialize all party
long.
• Thrill the guys
by serving snacks that taste
like foods they already
love, like the new Smokehouse Style BBQ flavored
Ruffles potato chips.
