The Islamic Society of North Ame-rica strongly condemns this shooting and the continued racial injustice against the black communities in the Uni-ted States. Muslims must be in the forefront of condem-ning such brutal acts and we must stand united for social justice and equality. ISNA President, Dr. Sayyid Syeed said that, “incidents and tragedies like this shake the very foundation of our nation and threaten our core ideals of democracy, equality, and freedom.”

pacted by Isaias. At the end of Friday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate increased by 35 cents to settle at $40.27 per barrel. Domestic crude prices increased after the EIA’s latest weekly report revealed that inventories decreased by 10.6 million barrels, bringing the current total to 526 mil-lion barrels. The price increase, amid increasing gasoline de-mand, could mean that the domestic crude market is meeting demand and pro-duction is stabilizing as coro-navirus infections continue to increase worldwide. If crude supplies con-tinue to decline alongside ris-ing demand, domestic crude prices could continue to in-crease this week.

Gas prices are trend-ing cheaper despite an in-crease in demand. Up 3% over last week, gasoline demand measured at 8.8 million b/d - the highest reading since the pandemic started. How-ever, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), year-over-year demand is down about 8%. Today’s national aver-age has been largely unaffect-ed by Tropical Storm Isaias. The storm, according to the National Hurricane Center, is likely to regain hurricane strength before reaching the coast between northeastern South Carolina and southern North Carolina later today.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has pub-lished an online list of nearly 116,000 voter registrations that will be purged in Decem-ber, unless the voters take ac-tion to take their names off the list. The process is part of the state’s regular maintenance of its voter rolls, through which the secretary of state’s office removes registrations for vot-ers presumed to have moved or died. The removal of any registrations won’t occur until Dec. 7 — meaning it won’t af-fect the November election.

ISNA supports Black Lives Matter

Jeff Mixon, president of Black Lives Matter, Cleveland; Al Porter, Jr. Black on Black Crime, Inc.; Cleveland City Councilman Kevin Conwell; the Rev. Eugene Ward, and a dozen community activists held an afternoon rally in the park next to the GlenVillage complex on East 105th Street on Monday to announce their plans to form a statewide coalition to keep Judge John P. O’Donnell off the Ohio Supreme Court in Columbus. O’Donnell’s 2015 verdict acquitting former Cleveland po-lice officer Michael Brelo of man-slaughter and other charges in the shooting deaths of Timothy Rus-sell and Malissa Williams has left the city without anyone being held accountable for the killings. Brelo and a dozen other Cleveland officers fired a total of 137 shots into Russell’s Chevy Malibu following a long police chase. Russell and Williams were unarmed. Both died in the shoot-ing. Brelo was the only offi-cer to face charges, and O’Donnell acquitted him of voluntary man-slaughter and felonious assault charges after a bench trial. The verdict spurred mass protests that led to dozens of arrests. Local fallout over Brelo verdict resulted in John

African American community speaks out against Judge John P. O’Donnellencounter with Cleveland police in 2002. Conwell promised to form a coalition to put forward a plan to keep O’Donnell from the Ohio Supreme court. He also said that he would look at other judges that the Dem-ocratic party has endorsed. Activist Mariah Cren-shaw, who has been intrumental in seeking change in how law enforcement officers are trained, spoke about the importance of electing fair and honest judges. O’Donnell lost to Repub-lican Pat Fischer, a state appellate judge from Hamilton County, by 22,470 votes, a margin he might have erased had he run stronger in his home county, and particularly among black and more liberal voters living in Cleveland and the county’s eastern suburbs. Final election results for Cleveland and the county’s eastern suburbs show O’Donnell actually received 23,433 fewer votes there than the other Demo-crat running for a Supreme Court seat, Cynthia Rice, a state appel-late judge from Trumbull County. O’Donnell’s underper-formed badly in the populous, mostly-black wards on Cleve-land’s East Side, where coun-cilmen Zack Reed and Kevin Conwell were among those who campaigned against O’Donnell

O’Donnell’s loss in his bid for the Ohio Supreme Court. According to election data, a campaign to sink his run by Black On Black Crime, Peace In the Hood, Black Lives Matter and other activist groups were successful. “We’re not concerned about whether it’s a Democrat or Republican, We’re concerned about somebody who is going to satisfy justice, and give jus-tice to our people,” ” the Rev. Eugene Ward said. According to Conwell, he was likely to catch flak from those loyal to the Democratic party for marshaling opposition to one of its candidates. “They should have put someone else up there for the Supreme Court,” he said. A woman who lost he brother to police violence summed up the feeling of the group” “We have to vote against O’Donnell, and we have to start holding the Democratic party accountable,” said Brenda Bickerstaff, a private investiga-tor whose brother Craig Bicker-staff was shot and killed in an

Riggins was a vic-tim of gun violence. He was shot by unknown assailants on July 25 about 8:40 p.m. in the 7510 block of Kinsman Road. According to sources, the po-lice know who the shooting suspects are, and it is a matter of time before they are appre-hended. Riggins was born on August 2, 1992 in Cleveland to Christina S. Virola and A. Masserati Riggins. Riggins attended An-ton Grdina Elementary and Middle Schools. He began high school at Max S. Hayes, transferring to Lincoln West High School, and graduating from John Adams High School

in 2011. During his high school career, Riggins was an outstand-ing athlete in both football and basketball. He studied automobile mechanics while in high school. Following graduation, Riggins worked a number of jobs. In 2012, his daughter

O’Donnell also badly lagged Rice in Beachwood (-10 percent) Cleveland Heights (-18 percent) and in Shaker Heights (-20 percent.) In total, O’Donnell got about 14,800 fewer votes in the eastern sub-

Riggins was a lov-ing and involved father. He en-joyed many activities, especially sports. He cheered for his favor-ite football team, the Baltimore Ravens, and learned boxing from his father, A. Masserati, who was an excellent boxer and who was inducted into the Ohio Sate For-mer Boxers & Associates, Inc. Hall of Fame in 2017. Riggins, the son, was following in his fa-ther’s footsteps. He was an ex-cellent boxer who competed for the 2008 Olympic Trials. Due to a car accident, Riggins had to postpone his boxing career. Riggins is survived by his friend; his parents; his chil-dren; his grandparents, other family and friends.

Group files to impeach Gov. DeWine over his COVID-19 response With the end of the CO-VID-19 pandemic nowhere in sight, some Ohio health experts say discipline is crucial to reduce the spread of the virus. Dr. Odell Owens, presi-dent and CEO of Interact for Health, encouraged Ohioans to continue to follow three key safe-ty measures: six-feet social dis-tancing; frequent hand washing; and wearing a mask. However, Owens said masks are only effective when used correctly. His advice is to only touch the straps when taking a mask on or off, put the mask in a bag when not in use, and disinfect your hands if you need to touch the mask. “Take it off, then quickly disinfect your hands, do what you have to do, and then you’re going to put it back on and dis-infect your hands again,” Owens explained. “The whole key is not allowing the virus on your hands and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth.” Masks also should fit properly, and always cover the face from the bridge of the nose to the chin. There is mounting evi-dence supporting the effective-ness of universal mask wearing to reduce transmission of COV-ID-19. And a survey released this week found a majority of Ohio economists believe the long-term economic benefits of Ohio’s mask mandate outweigh the costs. Owens said cloth masks

provide better protection than disposable paper masks, and can easily be made out of a T-shirt at home. He added a cloth mask must be washed after each use. “I’ve seen some re-ally well-made cloth masks that could probably survive 15 to 20 washings, and I’ve seen some cloth masks that may only survive two or three washings,” Owens said. “But I think you’re better off gen-tly washing them in the sink, using the soap and water and then putting them in the dry-er.” Disposable masks should be thrown away after one use. Scarves or handker-chiefs are not recommended to wear as a mask because they are too porous to of-

fer adequate protection. Ohio’s mask mandate began on July 23, and is not expected to be lifted anytime soon. With that said for Ohio residents to stay safe, State Representative John Becker, a Republican from Clermont County, Ohio, announced re-cently that he has drafted 10 articles of impeachment against Gov. Mike DeWine over the governor’s response to the coro-navirus. An article on the Ohio House of Representatives web-site claims Gov. DeWine has violated the Ohio and United States Constitutions, as well as multiple sections of the Ohio Revised Code. DeWine is accused of meddling in the conduct of a presidential primary election

and arbitrarily closing certain businesses while allowing oth-ers to remain open. The article says DeW-ine’s statewide mask mandate is making Ohio a hostile work environment, while extending the mandate to places of wor-ship forces citizens “to choose between worshipping their God and worshipping at the altar of unbridled government.” Becker says many Ohioans find the mask mandate offensive, degrading, humiliat-ing and insulting, while there is also evidence that masks can be hazardous to one’s health. He also says Gov. DeWine doubled down when he expanded the mask mandate to school-age children, who are less susceptible to COVID-19.

State rep. John Becker wants Gov. Mike DeWine impeached for his COVID-19 response which included having Ohioans wear masks to keep safe.

NBA playoffs are postponedByKARLBRYANT

All the NBAPlayoff games sched-uled for Wednesday were postponed be-cause the players de-cided to boycott thegames in response tothe latest police shoot-ingofaBlackman. Jacob Blakewas shot in the backseven times in Keno-sha, WI and it ap-pears that he was left paralyzed. The Bucks from nearby Milwau-kee were the first toboycott and the other

teamsfollowedsuit. The fact that the shooting occurred in this era of worldwide protests and unrest in the wake of the police killingofGeorgeFloydwas just toomuch formany NBA players.Many previously haddonned shirts saying “Black Lives Mat-ter” and other socially conscious phrases, butthey thought a work stoppage would makemoreofastatement. Discussions were held later on Wednes-dayamongtheteamsin

the “NBA Bubble” inOrlando’s Walt Disney World complex, withsome players evensuggesting ending the season. Further dis-cussions will be heldto determine a futurecourse of action. In a show of soli-darity, all six WNBAteams scheduled toplay Wednesday also decided to boycotttheir games. ThreeMLBgamesalsowerepostponed, as thoseteamswished to showtheir support for this social justice issue.

O’Donnell

A half-truth is still a lie: Brelo trials started with a big lie Cleveland CivilRightsActivistArtMcK-oy was at the courthouse. Al Porter, Jr., presidentofBlackonBlackCrime,Inc. sat quietly waiting forthetrialofClevelandOfficerMichaelBrelo tostartinAprilof2015. Several Cleve-landCityCouncilmem-bers, African-Americancommunity leaders andfamily members of thevictims sat in the court-roomon theprosecutionside. Supporters of-Brelo,includinghisfam-ily members, sat on theother side. What none of them knewwas that thewhole trial was a care-

fully scripted lie which would conclude with Judge John P. O’Donnell comparing themassacreof two unarmedAfricanAmericans, TimothyRussellandMalissaWil-liams,toagolfswing. Here is the opening of the trial: P r o s e c u t o r s opened the first day oftrial by calling Brelo aliar. They have painted a picture of Brelosimilar toRambo,jumping on the hoodsand roofs of cars and shooting to kill. It is somethingdefenseattor-ney’sbristleat. “He jumpedon the trunk of 238 not because he wanted to

be Rambo, because hewanted to survive,” saidD’Angelo. Brelosatcalmlyas the case against himwas laid out. They say the chase was over and Brelo was unjustified infiring 49 shots. Prosecu-

tors failed to present a great deal of scientificevidence, but one piecemay be problematic forthem. The plan was to turn all the focus on Bre-lo-therebydeflectingtheattention away from theotherofficers. Inacourtoflaw,the public understandsthat the truth-the whole truth-andnothingbutthetruth-is the oath that is taken. In this courtroomthe truth was hijacked. Let’s start with the prosecution’s open-ing statement and com-pare it with sworn state-ments given by officersafewdaysafterTimothyandMalissawerekilled: BRELO WASNOT ON THE HOOD OFTHEMALIBU.

The other night the Gracious Misrtress of the Parsonage and I were watch-ing the news on TV. All it showed was riots, looting, and chaos, which has become the normal. When will they ever get back to broadcasting good news? After a while, I heard a deep sigh on the other side of the room, and some-body say, “What’s wrong with people?” Being a veteran hus-band, I knew that was not a question I was supposed to respond to with a very logi-cal answer. I knew the per-son asking that question was not looking for any response from me. I kept from looking in her direction. Although I did not say it aloud, I did have to agree with her that we are living in some very crazy and chaotic times. Oh, if only I could go back and live in the 60s again with those hippies!

I just let that go, realizing that there is no way to an-swer such an inquiry. People will do what people will do. Many of those people are not good people. Thinking about this, I remembered a little change that came into our house about a month ago. Getting up one morning as I looked out the glass doors onto the back porch, I saw a little kitty look-ing at me. It could not have been more than a month old. I had no idea where this little kitty came from. I assumed it was just passing through, and the mama was somewhere around the corner. As my wife came into the kitchen, I said, “Look at that little kitty on the porch. Isn’t it cute?” Even before she looked, she said very sternly, “Don’t you dare feed that kit-ten.” I think the problem between husbands and wives

is that husbands can hear, but have a hard time listening. I am sure I heard what she said, but it never registered in my brain. Of course, nothing really registers in my brain. I began sneaking out little bits of treats for this lit-tle kitty, and to my surprise, it stayed around for a month so far. After getting up in the morning, I would go to the glass door, look out, and sitting in front of the door looking at me was the kitty. It would look at me, then turn and look at the food dish, which was empty at the time, and then look back at me and meow. I have as many problems with a little kitty’s meow as I do with a Girl Scout’s brown eyes when they are selling cookies. Trying to do it with as much sleuthfulness as pos-sible to keep my little secret from my wife, I fed the little kitty every morning and eve-ning. Sherlock Holmes, I am not, but somebody in our residence comes very close to that. Of course, my little secret was discovered. One afternoon I went out to sit on the porch with the kitty two have a con-versation. The kitty lay down, facing me, and I began our little conversation. “What do you think all of this nonsense and chaos and looting that’s going on in the world today? The little kitty yawned a big yawn and stretched like it was getting ready to go to sleep. It acted as if it had no idea what I was talking about. It was very calm, cool, and collected and seemed to be enjoying resting on the back porch. “What do you think about all this mask-wearing people are doing today? Do you understand what that’s all about?” Nonchalantly, the kitty laid his head down on its paws and closed its eyes

as though it was no concern. I had more ques-tions I asked the little kitty and got the same answers. Then, the little kit-ty stood up, looked at me, looked over at the food dish, looked back at me, and softly meowed. Although the kitty was not too interested in my questions, it was interested in her question, “When are you going to put food in my dish?” I got some food, put it in the dish, and watched as the little kitty ate. Watching her, I could not help but be just a wee bit jealous. This little kitty had no idea what was going on in the world and could live on my back porch as though nothing in the world was wrong. All that concerned this kitty was having her dish filled with food. That little kitty’s world is one of peace, seren-ity, and “kitty food.” Nothing else had her attention for the least bit of time. I have tried talking to this kitty about the latest news that was happening in the world and how nervous everybody was and how much fear there was, and it never influenced her one bit. After all, no matter how bad the world was out there, this little kitty could not fix the problems. The only problem this kitty could fix was conning me into giv-ing her food every morning and evening. Sitting there, watch-ing the kitty, I thought of a verse of Scripture. “Put them in fear, O Lord: that the na-tions may know themselves to be but men” (Psalm 9:20).That kitty knows that it is a “kitty.” Today’s problem is that people do not realize they are “but men” and do not have the solution for the world’s problems.

Islam and capitalism: What about the ‘Golden Rule?’By HOSSEIN ASKARI

Zarathustra was ar-guably the first to articulate a form of the Golden Rule some three thousand years ago, a rule that has never been followed on a scale to make a noticeable difference in our daily lives. If it had been fol-lowed, we would be practicing the principle that humanity is one and doing what we con-sider best for us as individuals for others. Kant calls humans to go even beyond the Golden Rule by emphasizing inten-tion: to do the right thing and for the right reason. Some twelve hun-dred years before the period of the Enlightenment, Islam recognized the equality of humanity and equal justice for all. In Islam, justice emerges within a system. The principles that are its guide include the Unity of Creation; availability of suf-ficient resources as long as humans share, downplaying the principle of scarcity that is the foundation of modern economics; freedom and equal opportunities to develop; and mandated distribution and redistribution for reasonable equity to prevail. Western conceptions of justice ask little of humans, but Islam expects much of

Muslims—to follow rules to produce a just world. Since the Enlightenment, conceptions of justice have “freedom” at their foundation. Islam also emphasizes freedom, but with differing roles envisaged for individuals and governments. Islam puts the burden on indi-viduals: Members of society must develop themselves and ensure that justice prevails. Western thinking took a giant leap much later during the course of the En-lightenment by recognizing that all humans are equal and deserve similar opportunities to develop, with contractual approaches and principles. They are in large part philo-sophical discourses that have little relevance to daily lives in a world of blinding inequality and pain. Justice in Islam, emerging from a set of moral rules that are based on the unity of humanity, is to be contrasted with other well-known conceptions. These include justice based on out-come with a goal to maximize, based on outcome but with a principle to follow, based on the justness of the process no matter the outcome, and based on rules to follow. Islam is justice and has justice embedded in each of its rules. If it is followed collectively, justice will emerge. Over one thousand

verses in the Quran deal with justice-injustice. While Islam’s system and rules are different from Rousseau’s conception of justice, both are optimistic as they envisage a sea change in human outlook at the founda-tion of a more just world. The more recent giants of philoso-phy have articulated theories of justice that focus on the plight of society’s poorest, albeit in different ways. John Rawls put forth an elegant contractual theory that condones inequality, even severe inequalities, as long as inequalities help the lot of the poorest. This Rawls was willing to accept because the talented demand such rewards if they are to work hard, which in turn raises total output and helps the poorest. On the other hand, Amartya Sen advocates a system where all humans are given the capability to achieve their dreams. It is difficult to con-ceive a just society without incorporating the interactions of the entire human race (as well as the animal kingdom) and the temporal dimension, as future generations have no vote today. Practically, a sound conception of justice should begin by acknowledging that all humans are equal and equally deserving and in-clude as its premise political

freedoms, economic facili-ties, opportunities to develop (nutrition, shelter, healthcare, education), transparency guar-antees, and protective security. Where is our society today? The moral philoso-pher Adam Smith, the father of the system we coin as capi-talism today, must be turning in his grave as the world attri-butes our unbridled capitalism to him. Smith argued for a market-based system, where markets through the price sig-nal indicate what consumers demand and what producers should produce. It was a sys-tem with private ownership of capital, but which needed important guard rails to ensure that justice prevailed. This

market system, if left to itself, could become a veritable jungle. Owners of capital could accumulate great wealth and even band together, or col-lude, leading to price gauging, impairing the market’s price signaling function and ex-ploiting labor who might have few employment options. As important to Smith, a deeply religious man, was the belief in the natural equality of human beings. Yes, Smith believed in economic freedom enabling some to ac-cumulate capital while others lagged behind, but he stressed equal opportunity to develop the self. He saw himself as not inherently very different from the person in Africa. The difference was

that he had a much better op-portunity to develop himself. The path for creating a better country and a better world was giving everyone good and equal opportunity to develop. Whether they took advantage of it or not was up to them. If a person wants health care in the United States today, what choice does she or he have? Have the good fortune to find a job that provides good health care coverage or deplete any and all savings and hope for the best! More practically, in the face of high unemploy-ment and the possibility of losing health care, the average American is forced to accept any employment that offers health care.

This is tantamount to servitude and is not the system that Adam Smith could have supported. There are many definitions of what everyone casually refers to as “capital-ism,” even classifying it as a religion. But one thing is sure. What we see today in the United States has very little to do with Smith’s vision of a sound economic system. One thing is for sure. Many of our long-held beliefs will be trashed or at least modified in the aftermath of COVID-19. Our perception of justice and our economic and health care system will change. Capitalism as we know it cannot survive. The future will be vastly different from the past.

Book addresses race in America Vernon Robinson III and Bruce Eberle, authors of “Coming Home: How Black Americans Will Reelect Trump,” are available for com-ment and interviews on their most recent op-ed published last night in The Washington Examiner. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Eberle write that President Trump should deliver a speech to go on the offensive for Re-publicans on race issues, and highlight the fact that, while Democrats talk a big game on ending racism, their party has done little throughout American history toward this end. “President Trump and other conservative leaders must be tired of being called racist. It’s not only a terrible insult, it is patently untrue… We believe that is what Trump and conservatives must do on the race issue. We don’t advocate exaggerations or lies by con-servatives but simply having the courage to tell the truth,” write Mr. Robinson and Mr. Eberle. Here is an excerpt from the speech they would like President Trump to give: “You and I know what terrible scars slavery and segregation are on our great

American legacy, but we also remember the hundreds of thousands of lives expended in a Civil War to free the slaves. And we know that our first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, not only issued the Emancipation Proclamation but also secured passage of the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery forever in our land.” “We know some other things too. We know that each and every slaveholder was a Democrat. How could it be otherwise when the Republican Party was created by abolition-ists? We also know that segrega-tion was a product of the early Progressive movement.” “Democrats talk a good game, but with them,

it’s all talk and no action. They love the symbolism of changing street names and school mascots, of taking down statues. But when it comes to matters that actually help black Americans, they are nowhere to be found.”

Browns submit plan to have fansBy KARL BRYANT

The Cleveland Browns submit-ted a plan to the City of Cleve-land and the State of Ohio to be allowed to host a limited num-ber of fans at their 2020 Home games. The first Home game is scheduled for Sept. 17. The team sent a copy of this plan to season ticket holders. The following is a breakdown of their proposal: Physical separation of at least six feet of social distancing Requirement of masks or other face coverings for all individuals (age 10+) Health screening, including

Kelly’s ace brings him win

via a Fan Health Promise that requires pre-event self-health screenings for all fans, and on-site temperature checks, and health questionnaires for all staff Enhanced cleaning and disin-fecting protocols throughout the venue Comprehensive hygiene proto-cols for all fans and staff Extensive training, signage and communication Accountability, flexibility and compliance protocols to provide oversight and adapt to evolving circumstances If fans are approved, the Browns said that tickets would

be available on a “rolling basis,” relating to one’s tenure as a sea-son ticket holder. The team added a ca-veat to the 6-foot social distanc-ing requirement that would allow more fans, which states: “Tick-ets will be available in ‘pods of known fans,’ which are consid-ered to be trusted, self-selected groups ranging from 1-10 people (final numbers subject to govern-ment approval), who will be able to sit next to each other in their pod. No pods will be within six feet of each other.” The Stadium would be divided into four separate color quad-

rants to minimize movement and contact with other people. Fans would be assigned a specific zone and entrance gate, as well as a recommended entrance win-dow for when they should plan to arrive. Tailgating already has been prohibited by the City, so there would be less time for fans to wait until the last minute to get to the Stadium. Browns VP/COO Da-vid Jenkins stated, “Moving for-ward is reliant on government ap-provals, and we understand and respect that process. If we can se-cure the necessary approvals, we look forward to hosting a limited

Boxing NostalgiaBy JIM AMATO

When the question comes up. Who was the greatest fighter to come out of Mexico? The answer is usually Julio Ce-sar Chavez. Some say Salvador Sanchez while others may say Ruben Olivares. These three are truly legendary fighters although to me one other outstanding box-er from Mexico is Carlos Zarate. Zarate began his ca-reer in 1970 and won his first 52 fights with 51 by knockout. Clearly a simply amazing num-ber. That being said a lot of Zarate’s early opposition may have been in the words of Greg Haugen when he questioned Chavez’s fine record. A bunch of Mexican taxi drivers. Well I don’t know if I’d go that far but Carlos beefed up his record with some poor opposition yet he was also learning his trade and learn-ing it well. By 1974 Zarate was moving up in the ratings. Dur-ing that time he stopped a tough fighter from Odessa, Texas

Carlos Zarate was one of the best fighters

named James Martinez. He then halted unbeaten Joe Guevara. He stopped Orlando Amores, Beni-cio Sosa and Nestor Jimenez. In May of 1976, Zarate halted the talented Rodolfo Mar-tinez in nine rounds to win the World Boxing Council bantam-weight title. That would lead to a run of seven title defenses. In 1977, Zarate would meet World Boxing Association champion Alfonso Zamora in a non title match.

Zarate won the “Battle Of The Z Bombers” with a con-vincing fourth round kayo. In 1978, Zarate would turn back the challenge of future champion Alberto Davila. Zarate decided to move up in weight and challenge the also undefeated Wilfredo Gomez for the WBC 122 pound title. The fight took place on Oc-tober 28, 1978 in Puerto Rico. The extremely gifted Gomez ap-peared to be too fast for Zarate. Wilfredo had Zarate down and the fight was stopped in the fifth round with Gomez retaining his title. Zarate would drop back to 118 pounds where he would defend his WBC title one more time and then meet tough Lupe Pintor. Zarate started well but Pintor came on strong in the later rounds. After 15 rounds Pintor was awarded a very con-troversial decision and the title. In disgust Zarate would walk away from the game for nearly

seven years. Zarate returned in 1986 and would reel off 12 more wins, ten by knockout. In 1987, he took on Australian sensation Jeff Fenech for the WBC super bantamweight title. Jeff held on to his crown by a technical deci-sion in four rounds. On February 29, 1988 Zarate met Daniel Zaragoza for the vacant WBC 122 pound title. The rugged Zaragoza stopped Zarate in the tenth round. It would be Zarate’s last fight. In all Zarate had 70 fights winning 66 with 63 knock-outs. He was tall and rangy. He had a stiff jab and a booming overhand right. He also had one of the best left hooks to the liver I have ever seen. Three of his four losses were to boxers now enshrined in the International Boxing Hall Of Fame. To me he has to rank among the best ban-tamweights of all time as well as one of the greatest Mexican fighters.

Jerry Kelly picked up his first PGA Seniors Tour Major with a two-shot triumph over Scott Parel at the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship. The event was held without a gallery at the Firestone CC in Akron. He made a Hole-in-One on the 12th Hole for the margin of victory. He got an Ace there while Parel, his threesome playing partner, carded a Par 3 on it. He shot 1-under 69 for the day and finished the tournament at minus-3. Parel was the only other golfer to break par for four days of the tournament, at minus-1. Besides the winds on Friday and a gulley-washer rainstorm that caused an af-ternoon delay on the Final Round Sunday, the weather was nice, but sunny and dry during the course of the tournament, which made for pretty hard greens. That contributed to the dearth of players breaking par. John Daly raced in a golf cart to the 10th Tee to make his around Noon start on Sunday and didn’t look too pleased. Apparently, something was brewing as a few holes later, it was reported that the mercurial Daly broke his putter over his knee after notching a quadruple bogey, and had to complete his round using a wood as a makeshift put-ter. Daly finished at plus-24 for the tournament, but only one-over for the day, so maybe should consider using a wood for putting all the time. The Bridgestone was the

only Seniors Tour Major that was held so far this year. All the other ones were either cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19 safety pre-cautions. The Bridgestone itself originally was to be held the week of July 9-12. After pocketing the $450,000 1st Prize mon-ey, Kelly remarked, “Just to have a Major out there for me was huge, after not even getting that close on the PGA Tour.” His previ-ous best finish at a Major at any level was a tie for 5th at the 2007 Masters, the same year that he tied for 7th at the U.S. Open. Regarding his Ace, he stated, “You definitely feel you’re a little bit destined, but you can’t let your-self be caught up in that.” His mother also is an avid golfer and he believes he’s now moved ahead of her by one in career Holes-in-One since they’d been tied at about a dozen each. Colin Montgomery and Miguel Angel Jimenez each finished at Even Par for the tournament. Retief Goos-en, who won the Inaugural Bridgestone Seniors Tour-nament last year, finished tied for 28th in 2020 at plus-11. Prior to 2019, the Bridgestone World Golf Championships had been a regular PGA Tour event at Firestone that usually boasted the highest or tied-for-highest purse on the Tour. Sadly, FedEx, who sponsors the FedEx Cup, strong-armed the PGA into giving them a World Golf Championships tournament, now held in Memphis, and

knocking N.E. Ohio out of hosting a regular PGA Tour event for the first time in de-cades. At least $750,000

McKenzie, Bieber provide Tribe highlightsBy KARL BRYANT

The Indians needed a couple of boosts during their just-com-pleted Homestand. They needed one after losing to the Tigers for the first time in about a year and a half. Then they needed another to snap a losing streak, which was putting them further behind Central Division-leading Min-nesota. While making his Major League debut, Rookie hurler Triston McKenzie remarkably provided the first lift-up and then dependable Tribe Ace Shane Bieber provided the second pick-me-up. The Indians had just returned from a successful six-game road trip where they had swept both the Tigers in Motown and Pirates in the Steel City. They again were facing the Tigers, now in the friendly, yet fan-free, con-fines of Progressive Field. Over the last two years, the Tribe had compiled an amazing 20-game winning streak over Detroit that was the second-longest such span of domination over an op-ponent in MLB history. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and the streak did just that as the Tigers rose up and smacked down the Tribe, 10-5, while coming back from a five-run deficit no less.

The Tigers, who are not a bad team, now smelled blood, and with the proverbial monkey off their back, could have kept going against the Indians, especially with two of the Tribe’s starters - Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger - relegated to the team’s Eastlake alternative training site, for be-ing A.W.O.L. Fortunately, McKenzie came to the rescue. He’d been a bud-ding star in the Minors, but had missed all of 2019 recovering from injuries. He was called up from Eastlake for the “emer-gency” start and responded in remarkable fashion. The gangly, 6’ 5”, 165 lb. righty dumbfounded the Ti-gers as he ended up striking out 10 in six innings of a 6-1 win, as he allowed just one run on two hits, while walking one. The 10 strikeouts was just one off the Tribe record of 11 K’s by Luis Tiant in 1964 for a pitcher mak-ing his MLB debut. The second batter he faced, former Indians’ Minor Leagues teammate Willie Castro, hit a HR off of him, but that was it for Tiger scoring. Domingo Santana provided the big hit for the Indi-ans with a bases-loaded double in the 6th Inning to make a win-ner out of McKenzie, who had not pitched in a pro game since

August of 2018 for AA Akron. After the win, McKenzie told the Media how he handled the butterflies, stating, “This was my first game in a really, really long time. I think it helped keep me grounded that a lot of the people I wanted to watch this game and pitch for, helped relax me and bring me back to center. It was mainly my family and my girlfriend.” He also gave props to other starters for giving him tips. Due to his great perfor-mance, McKenzie was told that he’ll remain with the team and get another start this weekend. Sadly the next day, the Tribe lost the finale of the series to De-troit, 7-4, as the Tigers showed they definitely can rebound. Then, in the first game of a showdown series with 1st Place Minnesota, the day after that, the Indians lost a tight one, 3-2. A bright spot in those two losses was 2B Cesar Hernandez hit-ting a leadoff HR in each game, surprisingly becoming the first Indian ever to do so in back-to-back games. Thankfully, the Biebs then came to the rescue to end the two-game skid. In six innings, Bieber, despite allowing three walks – unusual for him – gave up just two runs on four hits.

amount of fans at Browns games this year so that those who want to attend can experience the 2020 season. As is the case every year,

the health and safety of everyone in our building is paramount, and we are prepared to execute our plan with that priority in mind.”

Francisco Lindor hit a 2-Run HR in support of the 4-2 verdict. The reliable Bieber leads all of base-ball with a 6-0 record. At Press Time, CLE beat the Twins in the series’ rubber match, 6-3, to move within ½ game of 1st. Clevinger becomes the first of the truant hurlers to return to the active roster and Plesac soon may follow as the rest of the team seems to be for-giving. Clevinger did well in the 6-inning start, allowing two runs on eight hits, with six K’s. In the 3rd Inning, Jose Ramirez’ drive hit the RF foul pole just atop the fence for a 3-Run HR. The Tribe scored three runs in the 8th to make a loser out of reliever Sergio Romo (0-1), who drew catcalls and the ire of the Indians for making gestures to their dugout during the Twins’ lone win of the series on Monday. Payback is a you-know-what. Phil Maton (2-0) got the “W” and Brad Hand notched his 9th Save. The Tribe next travels to the Show Me State to play St. Louis and K.C. There’s no time-line yet for the return of Manager Terry Francona, who’s missed 16 games at this point, with per-sistent health problems. Coach Sandy Alomar will continue to fill-in.

Cleveland Orchestra to launch second season podcast

EAST SIDE NEWSDaily

The Cleveland Orchestra announces details of the second season of its acclaimed podcast, On a Personal Note, available Tuesday, September 1. Launched last spring, On a Per-sonal Note builds on the Orchestra’s belief in the power of music to take listeners on an emotional journey. The podcast has built a loyal and grow-ing audience across its first season, having been downloaded more than 17,000 times and has accounted for over 600 hours of listening time (to date) in the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, Austria, and other coun-tries. Throughout the second season of On a Personal Note, the pod-cast will continue offering

uniquely personal perspec-tives and illuminating views from inside classical music, including conversations about celebrated Cleveland Orchestra recordings. The second season will feature ten episodes available across all major podcast platforms and at clevelandorchestra.com/podcast. On a Personal Note’s second season begins

on Tuesday, September 1, with an episode featuring Cleveland Orchestra Mu-sic Director Franz Wels-er-Möst reflecting on his lifelong connection to the music of Schubert. Recall-ing an emotional time dur-ing his youth, Welser-Möst talks about studying music in Vienna, his desire to be-come a violinist, and how he was forced to consider new ways of expressing himself through music. “The past few months have undoubtedly been some of the most dif-ficult times The Cleveland Orchestra has ever faced

in in its 103-year his-tory,” says André Gremi-llet, Cleveland Orchestra President and CEO. “But they’ve also provided us with opportunities to ex-plore new initiatives that connect our audiences and musicians. The first season of On a Personal Note was tremendously successful as it made it possible for our audiences and listeners to get to know Franz Wels-er-Möst and Cleveland Or-chestra musicians better, through their musical and personal stories. “On a Personal Note’s second season will again showcase intimate and revealing stories about the impact of music on artists and members of The Cleveland Orchestra family. This new series of episodes begins with a raw and moving chapter from Franz Welser-Möst’s youth when he was injured in a car accident that led him down an unplanned path in his music career. We’re given a special mo-ment to hear about Franz’s passion for the art form and his connection to the music of Schubert.” Praise for the first season of On a Personal Note from cleveland.com (July 8, 2020): “Necessity isn’t just mothering invention these days,” wrote Zach-ary Lewis on cleveland.com. “At The Cleveland Orchestra, it’s giving rise

to fine audio art. Pressed to remain vital in new ways, the Orchestra during the coronavirus pandemic has channeled its musical energy and expertise into a free podcast series called ‘On a Personal Note.’ Only this is no mere side project. What had been lit-tle more than an idea on a back burner a few months ago has developed into a rich library of musical mo-ments and a promising out-let likely to continue long past quarantine. The impact of ‘On a Personal Note’ is clear. Since its launch on a vari-ety of platforms in April, the first season of 11 pod-casts has been downloaded more than 15,000 times — seven times the capacity of Severance Hall, or a good crowd at Blossom Music Center.”

Da 'Round Da Way Rewind Review

(Cobbs). When Rachel and Frank first meet, they clash and lock horns immediate-ly. Once again, Devaney intervenes, so he introduces the new bodyguard to her entourage and family: Sy, (Kemp) her manager; Tony Scavelli (Mike Starr) her huge Italian-American cur-rent bodyguard; and Nicki (Michele La-mar Richards), Rachel’s older sister and personal assistant. Later, Frank also meets Fletcher (Devaughn Nixon), Rachel’s ten year old son. After Bill and Sy show Frank the death threats they received from the stalker, Frank automati-cally updates the security around the estate. Rachel rationalizes with Frank that since she cannot go out on a date without Frank follow-ing her that they should go out together. He agrees so they pursue a relationship. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, after they sleep together, Frank tells Rachel they can-not continue this way be-cause it will interfere with him protecting her. She is insulted and does not understand, so they go back to their origi-nal dysfunctional relation-ship with him being stoic and calculating and her be-ing emotional and reactive. Meanwhile, movie viewers are shown what the stalker looks like: a somewhat feminine-look-ing platinum-blond young white man. Rachel and Frank continue their bickering as he gets angry at her for ig-noring and disobeying his safety protocols. At a charity con-cert in Miami, she tries to make him jealous at a party by flirting with a bodyguard associate of Frank’s named Portman (Tomas Arana). But, when the blond stalker manages to call Rachel on her private phone line, she is shaken and begs Frank to help her. She promises to do whatever he wants, so he packs up the spoiled singer, Nicki and Fletcher and they go visit Frank’s father

(Ralph Waite) at his isolated cabin in the snowy moun-tain wilderness. At the cabin, Ra-chel and Frank grow closer even though Nicki makes a pass at Frank. But, after the skilled protector saves Fletcher from being blown up by a rigged motor boat, Nicki makes a guilt-ridden confession to Frank that night. She tells him she hired the assassin tokill Rachel because of her overwhelming jealousy. Later, the killer accidently murders Nicki thinking it was the other sister. Ironi-cally, the F.B.I. had already caught the blond stalker, so Frank knows that Nicki’s assassin is still out there. A solemn and grieving Rachel decides to throw caution to the wind and attend the Academy Awards ceremony since she is nominated for Best Ac-tress in the movie I Have Nothing. Determined to use any means necessary to in-sure her safety on Oscar night, Frank manages to figure out that Portman is Nicki’s hired gun. At just the right moment, Frank lunges in front of Rachel on stage and takes a bullet meant for her. He shoots Portman and the entire or-deal is finally over. At the airport, in a scene much like the conclu-sion of Casablanca (1942), Frank and Rachel part ways as he prepares to take on a new assignment. But, not before they share one last passionate kiss with the main soundtrack theme ‘I Will Always Love You’ playing in the background. The movie and soundtrack for The Body-guard were massively suc-cessful with the main single release spending weeks at the top of the music charts. The film served as a starting point for Houston’s movie career as it gave her the necessary hit she needed to do so. Eventually, her film career somewhat pe-tered out but she managed to maintain minimal popu-larity with later music re-cordings.

Before her untime-ly death in 2012, Whitney Houston was one of the living legends of the music industry. After the debut of her self-titled album in 1985, she went on to be-come a singing super-star who won various Gram-my and Soul Train music awards. As a former model, her beauty was impres-sive. But, her voice was remarkable and stood peer-less with many wanna-bes trying to reach her profes-sional level but none ever achieving it. Some of her film credits include Waiting To Exhale (1995), The Preach-er’s Wife (1996) and the Sparkle remake (2012) that was her last movie before her demise. However, her premiere into the film world did not just make a ‘splash.’ It made a tidal wave. The Bodyguard(1992) provided a smooth transition between Houston’s two entertain-ment mediums by hav-ing her star as an African-American pop singer and actress who is being stalked by a psychotic fan. Hired to co-star opposite Houston is Cau-casian actor Kevin Costner. Having appeared in movies like the Native-American classic Dances With Wolves (1990) and the futuristic sci-fi flick Waterworld (1995), Costner became a major Hollywood leading man in the 1990’s. Together, Houston and Costner would make history in the interra-cial romantic thriller. Directed by Mick Jackson, the story-line re-volves around tempestuous celebrity Rachel Marron (Houston). After someone de-livers an exploding ‘Rachel’ doll to her dressing room, her management team made up of black elderly Bill Devaney (Bill Cobbs) and Englishman Sy Spec-tor (Gary Kemp) decide to hire extra special security to protect her. Along comes Frank Farmer (Costner): a former Secret Service agent who takes the new assign-ment as a favor for Devany

Flavorful stir-fry cooking Here’s delicious news: You can enjoy great meals that are high in flavor yet low in calories when you turn to the stirring tastes of stir-fry cooking. This kind of cuisine originated in China many years ago with the wok and has become a major part of many American lifestyles. The trend is growing as more and more people realize that this type of cooking can be a healthy part of the family diet—whether you use a skil-let, wok or pan. The key is in the preparation. As with any method of cooking, it is still possible to make a dish that is high in fat and calories with stir-fry cooking if you’re not care-ful. By working with a small amount of cooking oil and sticking to lean meats and lots of vegetables, however, you can do stir-fry cooking that’s a quick and easy way to prepare healthy and flavorful meals. “Asian-inspired cui-sine is one of the major food trends today because of the fresh ingredients and excit-ing flavor combinations avail-able,” explained one expert on food, Jason Abelkop of Buf-fets, Inc. Popular restaurants that are owned by Buffets, such as Ryan’s® as well as HomeTown® Buffet and Old Country Buffet®, are helping to lead the trend with made-to-order Mongolian Stir Fry, now available for lunch and dinner at most locations. Guests choose from chicken, beef or shrimp to create the combination that’s just right

for them. To kick-start stir-fry cooking in your kitchen, check out this recipe from the restau-rants’ chefs:Garlic Ginger Mongolian Chicken Yield: 2 servings2 4-oz. chicken breasts1 tsp. vegetable oil1 tsp. chopped ginger1 tsp. chopped garlic1 cup peapods1 cup cabbage, shredded½ cup ¼” julienned onions½ cup matchstick carrots1 cup broccoli florets1 Tbsp vegetable oil¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce¼ cup teriyaki sauce2 sprigs cilantro 2 servings unconvert-ed rice (cooked according to recipe) Cut chicken into ½” strips.

C o r n e t i s t a n d bandleader (Joe) King Oliver was born in 1885 in New Orleans His career began in hometown brass bands, dance bands, and other small groups in Crescent City cabarets and bars. Claimed to be the spiri-tual father of syncopated ("hot") jazz, he moved to Chicago in 1918 and formed King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band (June 1922) with cornetists Louis Armstrong, clarinetist Johnny Dodds, trom-bonist Honore Dutrex, pianist Lil Hardin, drummer Baby Dodds, and bassist-banjo player Bill Johnson.Oliver began recording in 1923 what are now considered historic masterpieces. After Armstrong de-parted in 1924, Oliver completely reorganized his band to include saxophones. He went to New York, had a successful but brief club engagement before his group disbanded.He toured widely in the Midwest and upper South from 1920-1936, but made no further recordings after 1931. Considered to be an important New Orleans-style musician, his recordings have been reissued.His tune "Dipper Mouth Blues," later known as "Sugar Foot Stomp," became a classic.Although he was an excellent bandleader, Oliver'splaying style was superseded by Louis Armstrong's and by 1937 he was forgotten and in failing health. He died in Savannah in 1938.

Shaker graduate and new author, Karim Ra-gab, has published his first of several novels. 'Paradise Now' A book of epic poems and heartbreaking stories: from mythical beasts to a time before time in the Gar-den of Eden, "PARADISE NOW" covers many walks of life, from the extremes of joy to the depths of despair. It is a literary showpiece from an emerg-ing voice in American fic-tion. In "Jersey Devil," a young man copes with the emotional aftermath of the murder of his stepfather by the police. "The Artist" is the tale of a young tribal wom-an who builds a ladder to heaven. In "The Wendigo," two young Natives run into trouble when they come across an American mili-tary camp. The title poem "Paradise Now" tells the story of Satan and the after-math of his lie. It is a mirror

to John Milton's "Paradise Lost." "Sarah" is the heart-breaking story of a mother's loss in war. "Bleed" is a poem of despair, and loneliness in a wild world. "Zombie" tells the tale of a young man who dies in a plague, and is res-urrected from the dead, only to find that nothing in life interests him anymore. "Bigfoot" is the story of a Bigfoot learning how to cope in human so-ciety, and eventually trying out to play for the New York

'Paradise Now,' a collection of stories and poems, is available on Amazon Books

Knicks In "The Loch Ness Monster" a team of scien-tists and artists hunt for the mythical beast by diving deep below the waters, into a realm of fantasy. "Headmaster" is a poem on the tyranny of power. In "The Knockers" a gang of outcasts find sol-ace in one another's com-pany. "A Tour of Lakev-iew Cemetery" documents one day, and one walk, through the famous Cleve-land cemetery where John

Rockefeller is buried. And finally, "Kintsugi," named after the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold or platinum, is the story of a young man falling into insanity, and recovering thanks to the help of a fa-mous singer.

4 ways your smile improves your life Many people go to the dentist not just because they want good oral health, but also because having a great smile is a good con-fidence booster and makes them more likely to smile more often. But it also im-pacts those who see that dazzling smile. Studies have shown that people believe smilers are reliable, relaxed and sin-cere. A study published in the journal Journal of Neu-ropsychology reported that seeing an attractive, smiling face activates the orbitofron-tal cortex, the region in the brain that processes sensory rewards. This suggests that when someone sees a person smiling, they feel rewarded. As a result, Dr. Castilla says some of the things a smile can do for you include: Make you more at-tractive. “Your smile is your best accessory,” Castilla says. “Studies have shown that people who smile are automatically viewed as more attractive, reliable, relaxed, and sincere. See-ing an attractive face can be considered a rewarding stimulus, and when a per-son sees a smiling face, the region of their brain that processes sensory rewards is activated significantly more than when viewing a non-smiling face.” Relieve stress and boost your mood. Sci-ence has shown that smil-ing increases your health and happiness, not just at the moment, but even in the long run, Castilla says. “The more you smile, the healthier and happier you will be,” she says. How so? When you smile, your brain releases signaling molecules called neuropeptides to the rest of your body, she says. These neuropeptides influ-ence your brain, body, and behavior in many ways, in-cluding reducing stress, aid-ing sleep, and elevating your mood. Lower your blood pressure. When you smile your brain also releases feel-good neurotransmit-ters, such as dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin. These chemicals calm your nervous system by lowering your heart rate and blood pressure. “It’s great to know that even when you skip out on going to the gym, you

can still work on your health by smiling away,” Castilla says. “Although I don’t rec-ommend skipping the gym.” Help you make others happy. Smiling not only has the power to el-evate your mood, but it can also change the moods of others. “If you’re grumpy or rude, then you’re likely to put others in a bad mood or even put them off,” Castilla says. “The same thing hap-pens with laughter and smil-ing. What happens when you smile at someone? They

smile back, of course. Even babies know what to do. Smile at a baby and they will smile right back at you.” “A beautiful smile is so much more than just straight teeth,” Castilla says. “It is health, confidence and joy. It is what you dis-play during the happiest moments of your life, such as when you graduate from school, get married, or your child is born. It is a reflection of your spirit, and make no mistake, it can change your life.”

When you die, will your kids fight over your mon-ey? It's an important question that might be hard to answer now, but parents who devote themselves to estate planning with relevant updates over their lifetimes can poten-tially keep arguments between adult children to a minimum. As of 2013, Ameri-can retirees are the sixth most generous in the world when it comes to the amount of assets passed on to family, accord-ing to a survey by HSBC, the global British bank. The latest survey (http://www.about.hsbc.com.au/news-and-media) noted that 56 percent of American retirees planned to leave an

inheritance with an average amount of $176,814. How you allocate your estate, no matter what the amount, requires planning and proper communication. Here are a few ways to start. Know where you stand first. If you haven't up-dated your estate planning in the last 5-10 years, do so now to fully understand your com-plete financial picture. Like all personal finance issues, estate planning should be adjusted when significant life changes happen or there is a major shift in assets, such as when a rela-tive needs help. In short, your estate picture has to reflect current fi-nancial realities, so before you decide how to allocate your

wealth either before or after you die, seek qualified finan-cial, tax (https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Estate-and-Gift-Taxes) and estate advice. Once you've deter-mined distribution, confirm your plan. Managing money and family are usually parallel issues until the topic of estate planning arises. For some fam-ilies, splitting money, property and possessions more or less equally among adult children is a smooth process. However, when it doesn't result in the fairest outcome for everyone involved, it can be trickier to navigate. Varying situations for each child might mean that an even split won't work. Once you are able to determine your assets, start thinking through how you can distribute them. Re-affirm your ex-ecutor and powers of attorney. Making a will and designating various health, financial and business powers of attorney as applicable are the standard first steps in estate planning. Cer-tain kinds of trusts might also be relevant. Generally it's good to have documents in place (ht tp: / /www.pract icalmo-

Estate planning to keep peace in the familyneyskills.com/estateplanning) early in life. As your children get older, it's a good idea to review those documents and designated leadership. Start communicat-ing. Hollywood has produced many a movie scene with fam-ily members sitting nervously in a lawyer's office waiting for the will to be read. Such mo-ments make for great comedy or drama, but not great modern estate planning. Based on what you hope to leave your family, the state of your relationship with your adult children and what-ever weigh-in you get from qualified advisers, it's usually better to communicate your plans to your children in ad-vance in person and make sure your legal documents confirm exactly what you plan to do. Bottom line: Could your current estate planning eventually put your kids and other family members at odds? Don't wait – the time to update or start estate planning is right now.

Music school to hold virual auditions When its world-wide application portal goes live at midnight on September 1, 2020, the Cleveland Institute of Music will create the most accessible pathway to conservatory admit-tance in 2021. Students auditioning for CIM will present their recorded auditions in a live, online meeting with the faculty for their area of study. “With today’s announcement, CIM proudly lowers the bar-rier to access for a clas-sical music student to earn a coveted spot in the highly competitive fall 2021 class,” observed CIM President & CEO Paul W. Hogle. “We were reminded during the pan-demic that digital access is a powerful tool in the training of the world’s most talented classi-cal music students. By making this announce-ment early — that au-ditions will be entirely via recorded and digital technologies — we have removed some of the geographic and travel-re-lated obstacles that lead to difficult family deci-sions with permanent ca-reer implications.”

CIM’s in-per-son audition days have been praised by parents and prospective students alike and the 2021 vir-tual audition days will artfully replicate that ex-perience. As usual, stu-dents and families will participate in auditions on the four Sundays of February. Each day will include a family orien-tation meeting, student lounge, a Eurhythmics demonstration, and op-portunities to talk with CIM’s financial aid, reg-istrar and entrepreneurial musicianship leaders. The centerpiece of the audition experi-ence for students will be a live, real-time interac-tion with the faculty in their area of study as fac-ulty listen, along with the auditioning student, to the applicant’s recorded audition. Every applicant will also interview with a member of CIM’s senior administration. “We understand the highly coveted and highly valuable nature of a CIM education,” adds Jerrod Price, CIM’s exec-utive director of prepara-tory, enrollment & path-way programs.

“By blending recorded auditions with live conversations, stu-dents and faculty will have the meaningful and interactive audition experience that is the hallmark of a CIM audi-tion day. The new format should allow students to really shine, without the stress and financial strain that auditions typically bring. Every student art-ist who dreams about being the future of clas-sical music can now have unfettered access to that opportunity.” Cleveland’s in-coming 2020 class ex-ceeded enrollment goals by 10% and is one of impeccable artistic dis-tinction, academic abil-ity, racial diversity and geographic reach. With 12% identifying as Black or Latinx, it includes competition prizewin-ners and alumni of pre-mier music festivals and the country’s finest youth orchestras, and pos-sesses an entrepreneur-ial spirit as founders or co-founders of their own organizations and busi-nesses. Recognizing elite ability and skillfulness, CIM awarded a record

Cleveland Foundation to support bail project The Cleve-land Foundation board of directors today an-nounced a $200,000 grant to support the launch of the Friends of The Bail Project – Cleveland operations fund at the foundation. As the first Friends of The Bail Project group in the country, the funds will go to support the local team working in Cleveland, including staffing, administrative support and wraparound services. In Cleveland, The Bail Project is ac-tively working to re-duce the Cuyahoga County Jail’s pretrial

detention population, in addition to provid-ing wraparound support services to those defen-dants released from jail. In its first year in Cleve-land, The Bail Project has already posted bail for 237 clients (as of July 31, 2020). Those clients have appeared for 95% of their court dates, and of cases closed to date, 30% had all of their charges dismissed outright and another 61% had the charges resolved with no additional jail time. “We created this fund to help ensure ongoing infrastructure support for the critical work on the ground that is securing freedom for individuals in Cleve-land and Cuyahoga County,” said Rob Mar-tens, who, along with his wife, Holley, was among the initial con-tributors to the fund. “It’s amazing what The Bail Project has accom-plished in just one year in Northeast Ohio, and we’re committed to the organization’s long-term success in our community.” Since the initial launch of the Friends of The Bail Project – Cleveland, more than $540,000 has been raised from the com-munity for the opera-tions fund. The Friends group is hoping to raise $1.25M to support at least five years of oper-ations in Cleveland. In addition to the Martens,

the original group of funders includes Albert and Audrey Ratner and the United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland, with Cecil and Erica Lipscomb co-chairing the Cleveland Friends’ fundraising efforts. “As a bail disruptor, I see the plight of cash bail on Cuyahoga County com-munities each day,” said Anthony Body, one of The Bail Project’s bail disruptors in Cleveland. “Funds raised through the Cleveland Foun-dation will help us to combat the racial and economic injustices that are ingrained in the criminal legal system. Paying bail for someone in need is an act of resis-tance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty and an act of solidarity with local communities and move-ments for decarceration. We are grateful for the support and are moti-vated to continue our part in securing freedom for people in need.” The Bail Proj-ect is a national nonprof-it that provides free bail assistance to thousands of low-income Ameri-cans every year, reunit-ing families and restor-ing the presumption of innocence. Launched in 2018, The Bail Proj-ect’s National Revolv-ing Bail Fund pays bail for individuals who are legally presumed inno-cent and whom a judge has deemed eligible for

release. The Bail Proj-ect then provides court date reminders, trans-portation assistance, and voluntary service referrals – known as the “Community Release with Support” model. As clients’ cases close, bail comes back into the national fund where it is recycled to help ad-ditional people. To date, The Bail Project has se-cured freedom for more than 11,000 people in over 20 cities across the country, while working with community part-ners to advance system-ic change. “The work of The Bail Project aligns with the foundation’s longstanding commit-ment to racial equity and criminal justice re-form,” said India Pierce Lee, Cleveland Founda-tion senior vice presi-dent for program. “We know Black residents are tragically overrepre-sented in the Cuyahoga County Jail population and we commend those who can give their sup-port for this critical ra-cial justice initiative.” For more in-formation or to donate to the Friends of The Bail Project – Cleve-land operations fund, visit ClevelandFounda-tion.org/BailProject.

1890 Land-grant Universities celebrate 130 years of science, education and community service 130th anniversary of the authorizing legisla-tion establishing the 1890 Land-Grant Universities (LGUs) was celebrated this week. Almost 30 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act of 1862, the Second Morrill Act, creating our nation’s historically black land-grant colleges, was successfully shepherded through Congress by Sena-tor Justin Smith Morrill and signed into law on Aug. 30, 1890. This thriving net-work of 19 universities has a legacy of educating first-generation and economi-cally disadvantaged college students, and enhancing the resilience of limited-resourced farmers, families, individuals, and under-served communities. “America’s 1890 Land-Grant Universities are home to some of the best and the brightest our nation has to offer,” said U.S. Sec-retary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. “The thousands of scientists, researches, and educators at these institu-tions are undertaking user-inspired, cutting-edge sci-ence that is transforming lives across our nation and around the world. The stu-dents at these institutions are a critical part of the fu-ture of American agriculture and with them the future is bright.” The U.S. De-

partment of Agriculture (USDA) supports a variety of initiatives and programs supporting 1890 institutions across the nation: The 1890 Schol-arships Program provides scholarships to support re-cruiting, engaging, retain-ing, mentoring, and training of undergraduate students. In FY 2020, each of the 1890 LGUs received $752,632 from NIFA, totaling more than $14 million to enhance student opportunities. The 1890 Agri-cultural Extension Program assists diverse audiences, particularly those who have limited social and economic resources, to improve their access to positive opportuni-ties through outreach educa-tion. The funds support small and medium-size fam-ily farms and new producers in owning and operating vi-able businesses, youth and others. In FY 2020, these NIFA grants in the amount of $54,720,000 supported all the 1890 LGU’s. The 1890 Facili-ties Grant Program provides for the acquisition and im-provement of agricultural and food sciences facilities and equipment, including libraries, so that the 1890 LGUs may participate fully in developing human capital in the food, agricultural, and human sciences. The 1890 Institu-tion Teaching, Research and

Tri-C and Cleveland Orchestra perform together A community that sings together stays together. That simple belief inspired a proj-ect that unified choral groups from Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) and The Cleveland Orchestra this summer. Students in Tri-C’s Vocal Arts Mastery program joined with members of The Cleve-land Orchestra’s Martin Luther King Jr. Celebra-tion Chorus in a virtual performance of the gos-pel favorite “Oh Happy Day.” The resulting video unites more than 50 voices from the com-munity. Visit www.tri-c.edu/ohhappyday to view the video.

The collabo-ration grew out of a shared desire by the College and the Orches-tra to perform and use music as a connective force at a time when the community seems frac-tured in so many ways. “We’ve all felt the strain of separation and unrest from situa-tions unfolding in our world,” said Emanuela Friscioni, director of Tri-C’s Creative Arts Academy. “The arts, though, have the power to bring people togeth-er. It’s about spreading positivity.” Renowned mu-sic educator William Henry Caldwell helped bring the two choral groups together. He

five full-ride packages to members of the incom-ing class, the result of incredible generosity by CIM’s donors and a part-nership with Cleveland-based Judson Senior Liv-ing. Practically speaking, every member of the in-coming class received a philanthropy-supported scholarship. Qualified classi-cal music students seek-ing bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degrees, as well as professional stud-ies and artist diplomas, are invited to apply at cim.edu/apply.

serves as artistic direc-tor of Tri-C’s Vocal Arts Mastery program and resident conductor of The Cleveland Orches-tra’s MLK Celebration Chorus. The College’s Vocal Arts Mastery program provides free vocal and choral train-ing to Cleveland youth in grades 3 to 12. The program is run in part-nership with Cleveland Public Library, with support from the Cleve-land Foundation. The MLK Cel-ebration Chorus is a volunteer group com-prised of singers from throughout Northeast Ohio. The group per-forms at The Cleve-land Orchestra’s annual

MLK Celebration Con-cert, held in January. “While we are currently unable to gather for music at Severance Hall or Blos-som Music Center, The Cleveland Orchestra is pleased to showcase music by and for the Cleveland community through this intergen-erational collaboration with Tri-C,” said Joan Katz Napoli, senior di-rector of education and community programs. “This powerful and moving rendition of ‘Oh Happy Day’ is the perfect way to spread a message of joy and hope.” Singers from both groups individual-ly recorded themselves

singing “Oh Happy Day,” an 18th-century hymn that charted in 1969 after being rear-ranged and performed by the Edwin Hawkins Singers. The choral groups performed a cover version of the 1969 song. Video editors and audio engineers took the recordings and created a more than four-minute video that shows the singers and showcases their voices. “Today we celebrate love, resil-ience, community and the power of music,” Caldwell says at the start of the video. “Oh, happy day.”

Extension Capacity Build-ing Grants Program supports research, teaching, and ex-tension by awarding grants that address key problems of national, regional, and multi-institutional impor-tance in sustaining all com-ponents of agriculture and rural development. NIFA supported this program in FY 2020 with $21,853, 028. The Evans-Allen Research Program sup-ports agricultural research activities at 1890 LGUs. In FY 2020, NIFA awarded $62,910,320. The 1890 Nation-al Scholars Program seeks to increase the number of minorities studying agricul-ture, food, natural sciences, and related disciplines by providing full tuition and employee benefits for up to 4 years to selected students. Selected students will then be eligible for noncompeti-tive conversion to a per-manent appointment with USDA upon successful completion of their degree. The Booker T. Washington Fellowship Program, managed by the Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement (OPPE), aimed at connecting faculty and staff at 1890 institutions to resources and research available to them at USDA. The USDA-1890 Task Force also managed by OPPE – body composed of equal part USDA employ-ees and 1890 institution of-

ficials – regularly meets and converses to seek mutually beneficial cooperation. The Centers for Excellence Program pro-vides support for enhanced international training and development and to increase diversity in the science, technology, engineering, ag-riculture, and mathematics pipeline. In 2015, on the 125th Anniversary of the Second Morrill Act, USDA-NIFA established the 1890 Centers of Excellence Pro-gram. This program pro-vides support for the three Centers of Excellence to in-crease profitability and rural prosperity in underserved farming communities. In fiscal year 2020, NIFA in-vested $4.8 million in three LGUs, each receiving a $1.6 million grant: University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Tuskegee University, and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State Univer-sity After 130 years of experience and diversity in agricultural research, edu-cation, and extension, 1890 LGUs are poised to develop leadership and human capi-tal for our nation’s preemi-nence in the 21st century. The universi-ties that make up the 1890 Land-Grant University Sys-tem are: Alabama A&M, Alcorn State University, Central State University, Delaware State University,

Florida A&M University, Fort Valley State Univer-sity, Kentucky State Univer-sity, Langston University, Lincoln University, North Carolina A&T State Uni-versity, Prairie View A&M University, South Carolina State University, Southern University, Tennessee State University, Tuskegee Uni-versity, University of Arkan-sas Pine Bluff, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Virginia State University and West Virginia State Uni-versity. Some recent ex-amples of impactful 1890

LGU projects: After Jackson-ville, Alabama was hit by an EF3 tornado that did exten-sive damage and uprooted scores of trees, Alabama Ex-tension’s Urban Green pro-gram provided educational resources on proper planting and tree selection, reaching 10,116 individuals across the state. University of Ar-kansas at Pine Bluff Agricul-tural Research Station’s 4-H “Healthy Habits” healthy foods and exercise program instilled healthy habits in 900 local youths.

Researchers at Tennessee State University developed molecular finger-print and biosensor methods for detecting Salmonella and other foodborne pathogens that are showing promising results as efficient tools for food safety surveillance. The resulting rapid and ac-curate detection technol-ogy, for use by regulatory agencies, meat and poultry producers and processors helped identify potential food safety problems in fa-cilities and products, reduce testing time from days to hours, and cut testing cost

by 50 percent. To keep young people interested in criti-cal STEM education, North Carolina A&T Coopera-tive Extension Program’s Computer Science (CS) Pathways connected 1,804 youths to exciting Comput-er Science-focused learning experiences.

Schools to continue food programs Hunger-fighting groups in Ohio and other states are asking Con-gress to extend waivers that are helping to feed children as the coronavi-rus pandemic rages on. Roughly half of Ohio school districts are starting fall classes either fully or partially remote, which makes it more difficult for traditional school-based nutrition programs to reach chil-dren in need. Kimmy LoVa-no, director of advocacy and public education for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, says greater flexibility is needed for take home, pick-up or meal distribution pro-grams. “The less red tape there is around these programs, the more effi-ciently we can get meals out to kids, especially as things change,” she states. “If schools are open now but they close later on in the fall, having some of these waivers in place now will make it significantly easier to for us to respond.” More than 1,300 organizations have signed a letter asking the

U.S. Department of Ag-riculture to extend sev-eral waivers through the Families First Coronavi-rus Response Act to en-sure continued access to meals in the school year. One example, says LoVano, is the need for a waiver to allow af-ter-school meal programs to skip the enrichment activity that is currently required. “It’s difficult to require kids to do an ac-tivity when kids can’t be in close proximity to one another, and when we’re providing a grab-and-go meal,” she points out. LoVano also maintains, with record numbers of Ohioans turning to food banks for assistance, that the Sup-plemental Nutrition As-sistance Program should be strengthened. “For every one meal that is provided by food banks, SNAP pro-vides nine,” she points out. “So, SNAP is a criti-cal tool in fighting the high rates of food insecu-rity that we’re seeing. “So, that has to really be the priority as Congress moves forward on this next COVID

package.” The groups are also calling on Congress to extend the Pandemic EBT program, which provides assistance for families to buy groceries when school isn’t in ses-sion. School districts in Ohio are entering un-charted territory as they prepare for the start of a new school year. Elect-ed leaders are hearing calls to provide adequate support to ensure that schools can meet the challenges of educating during a pandemic. In June’s state budget cuts, Ohio schools lost an estimated $300 million in funding. Scott DiMauro, president of the Ohio Ed-ucation Association, con-tended that a new round of federal coronavirus relief is needed, “and not with strings attached in a way that forces or bullies schools to open unsafely. All schools need that support. With the down-turn in the economy, state revenues have taken a hit; local revenues have taken a hit.” DiMauro said

some districts now face increased staffing costs, including the need for full-time nurses and ad-ditional paraprofession-als to assist with new safety protocols. Oth-ers, he said, don’t have enough money to ensure students have the tech-nology they need for learning at school and at home. Gov. Mike DeWine announced on Tuesday that 38% of Ohio public schools are returning to class with a regular five-day sched-ule, 25% are starting with instruction that is fully remote, and 24% are beginning with a hybrid of both. DiMauro said districts are prepared to adjust as needed. “The reality is, most students are prob-ably going to have both remote and in-person learning at some point during the course of this year, depending on how the virus plays out,” he said. “The good news is we’ve had a lot of time to do some planning for this school year. We’re not being thrown into it without any advance planning.”

Undefunded local public health hurts Americans The Na-tional Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the voice of the nation’s nearly 3,000 local health departments, has released an in-fographic that il-lustrates the critical role of local health departments in pro-tecting communities from public health threats such as CO-VID-19, as well as challenges cause by insufficient resourc-es and investments in public health. Local health department staff are frontline respond-ers to public health emergencies, carry-ing out key activities like monitoring dis-ease outbreaks, co-ordinating resources with healthcare part-ners, and educating

and sharing credible information with the public. H o w e v e r , they do this criti-cal work before a backdrop of budget and staffing cuts that limit the operating capacity of prepared-ness and response. As demonstrated throughout the CO-VID-19 pandemic, this means local health departments are often forced to shift resources from other pressing pub-lic health activities – such as immuniza-tion, HIV, STI and hepatitis programs, food safety, over-dose prevention and response, and vec-tor control – to adapt to the demands of emergencies. Local health departments have a mission to protect

USS Kidd (DDG 100) departed from San Diego to continue a scheduled deployment June 10. The U.S. Navy destroyer is the third ship named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who was born in Cleve-land Ohio. Kidd was on board USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and was the first American flag officer to die in World War II. Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd (DDG 100) departed San Diego to continue her scheduled deployment, June 10. Kidd is scheduled to return to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility to continue its mission in support of SOUTHCOM Enhanced Counter Narcotics Operations in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.“I am extremely proud of my crew and their coordination with Navy Region Southwest, U.S. Surface Forces Pacific and U.S. Third Fleet as we navigated through our COVID-19 outbreak on board,” said Cmdr. Nathan Wemett, Kidd’s command-ing officer. “The strength of the bond throughout the Navy communities ensured we safely and effectively disembarked the crew, disinfected the ship, re-embarked the crew, and will be able to continue our mission out at sea.”
