Scholarship opportunity for 2008 CMSD graduates!Submitted by lmcshane on Sat, 08/09/2008 - 08:49.
From an esteemed colleague--some good news: If you know of anyone that graduated from CMSD in 2008 there are full scholarships available to them to attend Tri-C. The link below will take you to the site. Below there is some extra information. There is an informational session on August 16 (information below). You will do as I saySubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 08/03/2008 - 08:24.
Today 8/3/2008, Chris Ronayne gets a front page editorial on the Forum page of the Plain Dealer. Chris lives in Cleveland and drives to work every day. I know his commute, because I made a similar commute when I worked at Metrohealth Hospital in the eighties.* My drive time? Ten minutes from University Circle to Metrohealth Hospital. Sure, sometimes, it was 15-20 minutes, if traffic held me up, or, if it took forever to get out of the parking lot, but I literally made the commute every day with my eyes closed. It scared me so much to realize that I was driving in a trance, that I committed myself to public transportation.

What movie changed your life?Submitted by lmcshane on Thu, 07/24/2008 - 07:56.
My colleague at work suggested that we show movies that matter to the kids this fall. So, a discussion ensued. What visuals really made a dent in your life? We could go on and on about songs that affected us, but films come back to haunt our dreams.

Summer Reading IISubmitted by lmcshane on Sat, 07/19/2008 - 09:03.
Last night's Bill Moyers Journal discussed the mortgage meltdown and the role of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve Bank with author William Greider--order the book from a local library on line* and educate yourself on how we got ourselves into this mess. In a word--GREED.

Who was W.C. Reed? Tremont is fortunate to have a large green space--Lincoln Park--which serves to provide a community center to one Cleveland neighborhood.

VampiresSubmitted by lmcshane on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 19:05.
I never fell into the category of teen drawn to goth and vampires, but now I understand the attraction. I just finished Twilight by Stephenie Meyers. It has become the de rigeur rite-of-passage book for the current generation of humans. ( categories: )

Under Mike White's administration, Abram's Creek in the Rocky River watershed was buried to make way for the expansion of Hopkin's Airport. Fourteen million dollars in mitigation funding was allocated to restore the Doan Brook watershed. What happened to the money?

Green Wash jobSubmitted by lmcshane on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 07:07.
Leave it to Cleveland politicos--if there is a way to sell sewage, they will do it, and call it GREEN. Take a close look at the Denison Proposal in Ward 15. Could the PD make an attempt--just try--to look up the history of Neighborhood Revitalization Partners and subsidized senior housing projects in Toledo and in Akron. Ten years ago. Same old tricks.
The Perfect JobSubmitted by lmcshane on Fri, 06/13/2008 - 02:58.
When I worked downtown, I used to ride the bus with an editor from Webster's New World Dictionary (little known secret--the editorial office is located in Cleveland). His job seemed perfect to me. He got paid to read newspapers from all over the world and to compile definitions. This came to mind as I read the latest word release from the Oxford English Dictionary.

Good Magic vs. Bad MagicSubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 06/08/2008 - 16:13.
Last week, the kids were treated to a magic show from a fabulous neighbor in Brooklyn Centre. Now, I have more than one "seer" in the group of kids in this neighborhood, but one family, especially, has become the resident "genius" family in the 'hood ranging from little Lily on up to her brainiac brothers, their mechanically-inclined father and their fierce supermom, the defender of the clan.
Walkable livesSubmitted by lmcshane on Tue, 06/03/2008 - 19:19.
Today, Gloria, Tim and Rudy really deserve credit for trying to make the obvious apparent to our collective political machine with the workshop they organized for NOACA's Liveable, Walkable Communities.
