Cleveland Public Library honors `Drum Majors For Change' onMLK Day
The Cleveland Public Library's 35th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration took place at John Hay Campus High School Auditorium.
The ceremony honored Cleveland-born architect, entrepreneur, civic leader and World War II veteran Robert P. Madison with the Drum Major for Change Award.
Architect and entrepreneur Madison was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1923. He graduated from Cleveland's East Technical High School with honors in mathematics and science in 1940. He attended the School of Architecture at Howard University, but left to serve in World War II as a second lieutenant. He was wounded in action in the Italian Campaign, receiving the Purple Heart and three combat ribbons. He received a B.A. in architecture from Case Western Reserve University, an M.A. in architecture degree from Harvard University, and completed additional studies as a Fulbright Scholar at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, France in urban design and prestressed concrete.
Madison served as an assistant professor of architecture at Howard University until he opened his office, Robert P. Madison International, in Cleveland in 1954, the first such office in Ohio opened by an African American architect and only the ninth in the country. Major building projects for the firm have included the United States Embassy in Dakar, Senegal, the Nuclear Facility at Tuskegee Institute (Alabama), and the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
His professional affiliations include the American Institute of Architects, Cleveland Chapter, the Architects Society of Ohio and the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. He is the recipient of numerous honors, including an honorary Doctor of Humanities from Howard University (1987), the Cleve-
land Arts Prize (2000), the American Institute of Architects Ohio Gold Medal Firm Award (1994) and induction into the Northeast Ohio Business Hall of Fame.
Madison is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, Sigma Pi Phi and Epsilon Delta Rho Fraternities.
Khalid Samad was honored as one of the 150 unsung heroes in the community.
Samad is the president and co-founder of Peace In The Hood. He offers mentoring, at risk behavior education, crisis intervention and mediation services among many empowerment services.
Samad is one of the most prominent Civil Rights leaders in Cleveland, and is a national leader in dealing with both gun violence issues and gang violence. As an internationally acclaimed specialist on Urban Violence, Youth Empowerment and Gang Intervention, Samad has lectured throughout the nation and has appeared on National Radio and television shows such as Tavis Smiley, Night Line, Keeping It Real with Rev. Al Sharpton, The Warren Ballentine Show, BBC, France TV, Britain TV, Tokyo TV and PBS as leading authority on these issues.
He was inducted into the Cleveland International Hall of Fame

Nhiwatiwa, ex-police officer, sentenced to 4 1/2 years for assulting 12 year old girl
Solomon Nhiwatiwa, 34, showed no emotion as he apologized to his victim before Common Pleas Court Judge Wanda C. Jones sentenced him to 4 1/2 years in prison for urinating on a 12-year-old girl after she refused to get in his car at a school bus stop.
"I would like to apologize
to the victim," Nhiwatiwa said. Nhi-
watiwa stood silent for several seconds
before Jones asked if he had anything
else to say. "I take responsibility for what I did," he said, then sat down.
Jones said that she was not convinced that Nhiwatiwa was truly sorry for his conduct. She said the physical and mental abuse he inflicted on the girl and his position as a police officer, which required him to protect the community from the very types of attacks he carried out, required
consecutive sentences. Nhiwatiwa faced a maxi-
mum of 7 1/2 years in prison after he pleaded guilty in December to charges of attempted kidnapping, pandering obscenity, disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and endangering children in the August 16 attack.
As part of his plea agreement, Nhiwatiwa agreed to resign his position with Cleveland police
and his license to be a police officer in the state of Ohio.
Nhiwatiwa, who was hired to the force in 2014, was suspended without pay after his arrest. He has been disciplined four times in his five years with the Cleveland police and was involved in a fatal shooting while working as a security guard in 2012 before he joined the force.
Bishop Nelson Perez to leave Cleveland for Arch Bishop position in Philadelphia
"Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo," sung by Lorain's Sacred Heart Chapel Spanish Choir, were the first words sung in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist after Nelson J. Perez took his seat as the 11th bishop
of the Cleveland Catholic diocese in September of 2017.
Bishop Perez got the call he would be moving again to become the archbishop of the Philadelphia Archdiocese in the

city where he attended seminary and served as a pastor. Perez was assigned to lead the archdiocese after Archbishop Charles J. Chaput retires in February. Chaput served as bishop while Perez was a pastor. 1 Perez thanked the Catholic community in Cleveland.
He mentioned that when Nuncio Christophe Pierre called to tell him of his new appointment, he balked a little at leaving Cleveland after only two and a half years. But he says he'll keep the city in his heart.
Perez will remain bishop
of Cleveland until his installation
as Archbishop of the Archdiocese
of Philadelphia on February 18.
There is no replacement appointed

Cleveland's Hispanic
Perez community, which celebrated when Perez was installed as the Cleveland diocese's first Hispanic bishop in 2017, was saddened by the news, but happy for Perez's success. Perez, who is bilingual, will also be Philadelphia's first Hispanic archbishop.

Tony March writes about his road to success
Tony March is a philanthropist and entrepreneur who has a diverse professional history and expertise in business start-ups.
Recognized by TIME magazine as one of the top 10 automotive dealers in the country, Tony built an automotive empire of more than 22 car dealerships at its zenith. Tony was raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, on the "other side of the tracks."
He is a survivor of abuse, homelessness, childhood poverty, and childhood hunger, but at an early age, Tony developed survival instincts and a spirit of determination. Through this determination, Tony was able to rise up, graduate high school, attend Howard University's School of Engineering, and secure an engineering position with General Motors.
From there, through extreme hard work and continued determination, Tony went on to build one of the
March
most impressive car dealership conglomerates in the United States.
Though Tony has never forgotten the pains of his childhood, he allowed that pain to fuel his passion for serving the underserved communities in which he's lived, especially the children stuck in poverty and the homeless community. Not only has Tony donated his money, he has donated countless hours
of physical labor. He has always made it a point to pay it backward. At the behest of friends and colleagues, Tony agreed to tell his story and hopes it will challenge others to Pay It Backward to make a positive impact in their communities. As a black child growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in Daytona Beach in the 1950s, the odds were stacked against Tony March. Racism, poverty, searing hunger, abuse, depression. Constantly starved of food, love, and affection, Tony resolved to escape poverty and make something of his life.
Thanks to the support of educators who believed in him, Tony excelled in grade school and then graduated with an engineering degree from Howard University. Beginning his career with an engineering position at General Motors, March quickly moved up the ladder and after years of hard work,
he had founded and built one of the most successful automotive conglomerates in the country.
Despite his success, March has never forgotten the pains of his childhood. In the last 40 years, he's channeled that energy into a purposeful life of passionate giving. A serial entrepreneur and philanthropist, March has always approached business as a basis for giving back. He's given millions to charitable causes, invested in education, and spends a considerable amount of time volunteering at a local homeless shelter.
"I'm sharing my story for one and only one reason: to encourage other people to join me in helping the less fortunate...I want to make a difference, but more importantly, I want to inspire others to do the same."

Weekly Wealth For Your Health
Food waste is money down the drain
By NATHANIEL SILLIN
How many times have you gone to pour milk in your coffee, only to see that the date on the carton was yesterday? Some people will instinctively throw it away, but chances are that's not what the label is intended to convey. It's likely a marker for when the food might taste its best, not if it's safe to eat.
By some estimates, as many as 91 percent of consumers may misinterpret food date labels. It's no surprise as there are dozens of different lables in use, but the misunderstanding and lack of meal planning are contributing to a larger problem. Between 30 and 40 percent of the U.S.'s food supply winds up in the trash or a compost container. The benefits of reducing food waste are numerous. You'll save money, which may be reason enough. You could also be lowering your carbon footprint by keeping spoiled food out of landfills and cutting down on
the growing and transportation of food that doesn't get eaten. Cutting back on this waste could start with understanding what food labels actually mean.
Don't misinterpret food dates as expiration dates. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), aside from on infant formula, food label dates aren't an indication of whether or not the food is safe to eat. For example, "best by" may mean the food will taste, look and feel its best if its eaten by that date. It could still be good for days, weeks or even months (for non-perishables) after that date. Some states do require expiration dates on milk or meat and food labeling could become less confusing across the country. But for now, you may need to rely on your judgment. The USDA writes that if foods don't show signs of spoilage, such as changing colors or giving off an unpleasant smell, they could still be safe and wholesome.

longer. Regardless of the date, proper food storage can impact a food's longevity.
Wait to wash food until you're about to cook or eat. Otherwise, the moisture could spur bacterial growth.
Strategically store items in your refrigerator. Your food will typically last longer if you put the least perishable items on the door, meat near the bottom back (unless there's a meat drawer), veggies in the crisper and dairy or drinks near the top.
Generally, you want to keep fruits and vegetables away from each other because many fruits produce ethylene gas and exposure to the gas could cause vegetables to spoil more quickly. There are also vegetables that produce the gas and fruits that are sensitive to it.
If you're storing a fruit or vegetable that gives off and is susceptible to ethylene gas, wrap it in aluminum foil or store it in a paper bag rather than using lessbreathable plastic wrap or bags. You can look for more tips about particular foods online.
There are also apps that can automatically connect to your supermarket loyalty programs to track what you buy (or you can upload a picture of your receipt), warn you when something may be going bad and recommend recipes that incorporate those foods.
Find creative uses for foods that are on their way out. Whether you use an app to sync shopping lists and schedule meals or use a paper list, meal planning can help cut down on waste as well. But even with
great intentions sometimes things get forgotten, or meals get pushed off until it's almost too late.
You can save vegetables from the trash by roasting them, making soup or turning them into a casserole. Carrots, potatoes and other root veggies (plus zucchinis) can be grated and fried to make fritters. You could bake fruits into breads, throw them into smoothies or freeze them for later. In the end, the goal is to use everything you buy.
Bottom line: Food waste could be draining your wallet, hurting the environment and in some cases, may be completely unnecessary. Learning to correctly interpret food labels and performing a sight and smell test before throwing something away could help.
Taking the time to prepare before you shop, having a plan for how you're going to use the food you buy and being OK with a lastminute backup plan can help even more. In the end, taking the extra time to evaluate the true condition of your food can save you money.

Islam In The Community
"Race" and the Future of Muslim American Leadership
By JAMES E. JONES
Americans Love "Race": Let's face it... Americans are infatuated with the idea of "race." And so are Muslim Americans, despite what our Creator tells us -- "O humanity, reverence your Guardian Lord, who created you from a single soul, created of like nature its mate, and from the two of them created countless men and women. Reverence God, through whom you demand your mutual [rights] and the wombs [that bore you], for God ever watches over you" (Q. 4:1).
Elsewhere in the Quran, even those of us who
call ourselves "Muslim" cling to the idea that there are subspecies of humanity known as "races."
This, although even assertively anti-religious atheists such as the famous English biologist Richard Dawkins agrees that all of humanity has one common ancestor! Our collective American infatuation with "race" would not be so bad if it did not have such destructive consequences. We live in a technologically advanced world powered by the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon and Uber.
And yet we still hold on to the old European
colonialist-inspired notion that there are biologically distinct "races."
For those who cannot be bothered with reading the Quran or books like Richard Dawkins' "River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life" (1996), please consider watching the PBS-produced three-part video series "Race -- The Power of an Illusion" (2003) on . Each part teaches us, in a powerful and visual manner and via science and history, how we Americans came to be so enamored with this false idea. The first episode, "The Difference Between Us," em-
A Look At My World
Please don't mess with me peanut butter
By JAMES L. SNYDER
Normally, I'm a rather calm, cool and collected person. Actually, my creditors trying to collect things from me, mostly money, are responsible for this and I have been officially collected. If I could only collect my thoughts, but the pieces are too small and too few.
Anybody who knows me knows I am not easily rattled by anything. I let the chips fall where they may because I know from whence they came. I am not susceptible to the various rumors making their way around on a regular basis.
All the debate about global warming, for example, has not in the least disturbed my personal serenity. Some say the earth is getting warmer while others insist it is getting cooler. Who in the world are you to believe? One scientist frantically reported that if we do not do something quickly in 1500 years, the earth is going to get 10? warmer than it is right now.
One can only hope he was not a Rhodes Scholar. Then there was the hullabaloo about how harmful chocolate was to a person only to be discovered later that it has marvelous health benefits. Pass me another bonbon.
Others took potshots at coffee. Again, it was found that a morning cup of Joe is just the thing to get a person on the go.
I took all of these things in the good-natured way that is typical of Yours Truly. I try not to let anything get my dander up. In fact, I am quite proud of the humble way in which I respond to all of these negativities, usually, with a cup of coffee in
one hand and a bonbon in the other.
All was going well until one morning, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage rattled my cage. She takes great pleasure in doing something like this.
"Have you seen the trouble they are having with peanut butter?"
This caught me by surprise because I had not heard any such thing. My wife went on to explain that, in some cases, they were recalling certain peanut products. Personally, I know a few nuts that need to be recalled.
I do not mind if they fool around with global warming, and recall every car on the planet. I care not what they say about chocolate and coffee, but I go by one simple rule; do not mess with my peanut butter. My underlying philosophy is, man shall not live by bread alone, he needs a little bit of peanut butter to hold it all together.
I am not sure who invented peanut butter, it might have been God himself; all I know it is the food of the gods. According to Wikipedia, there has never been a time in history when there was not some form of peanut butter.
It is one of the few essential items in this world that nobody can get along without. I can hardly imagine a world without this marvelous concoction, either creamy or crunchy.
There are many things I can get along without, but I cannot get along without my daily ration of peanut butter. Some people have chocolate as comfort food. Some peo-

ple's comfort food of choice is a bag of salty potato chips. Others pamper their comfort with ice cream. And I say, to each one his own. My comfort food is simply peanut butter, preferably crunchy.
The thing about peanut butter that is so amazing is it can be used in a variety of ways. I would guess that the list is all but limitless. Hardly a month goes by that I do not discover a new way to enjoy peanut butter.
There, of course, is the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Every thoughtful and loving mother starts her young brood off on nutritious and delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwichs. If your mother was quite like my mother, she affectionately trimmed the edges, which made the peanut butter all the more delightful. Need I mention Peanut Butter Cookies, Peanut Butter Fudge, Southern Peanut Butter Soup with Pepper Jelly, Peanut Butter Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Candy, and a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sundae?
I'm not alone in this appreciation. "To me, peanut butter is the breakfast of champions!" opined Greg Louganis, Olympic Diver. And if anybody should know what a champion eats for breakfast, he should.
Peanut butter can be used for breakfast, lunch and supper. And for all those snacks in between.
Those who know the history of our country will remember that two Presidents of the United States were peanut farmers [Jefferson and Carter]. I am not sure of this, but I think it helped them deal with the nuts at Washington.
Of all the ways to enjoy peanut butter, there is one I prefer above all else. That is simply a nice tablespoon of peanut butter right out of the jar. If a tablespoon is not handy, several fingers will do the trick admirably. Really, there is no wrong way to enjoy the marvelous taste of peanut butter.
Speaking of comfort food, the Bible has the perfect recipe. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." (Psalms 23:4). God has a marvelous way of taking our attention away from the trials of this world and focus our thoughts on Him.

phasizes what scientists now know about genes and DNA.
The primary point made is that what we imagine as "race" has no biological basis. The second episode, "The Story We Tell," traces the documented history of this relatively modern notion, which was a byproduct of Europe's conquest of the New World. "The House We Live In," the third and final episode, focuses on how U.S. institutions and policies have consistently provided advantages to one group (usually those deemed "white" at that particular point in time) over others, based on erroneous assumptions about "racial differences."
Moreover, this country's racially based attitudes toward non-white "outsiders" are enshrined in the first naturalization law passed by Congress on March 26, 1790.
The law began as follows: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any alien being a free white person [italics added], who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof on application to the satisfaction of such Court that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law to support the Constitution of the United States..."
As we can see, this country's legal and institutional love affair with "race" was enshrined in its very first naturalization law!
This erroneous construct has followed America throughout its federal judicial, legislative and regulatory history. Prime examples include the Supreme Court's Dred Scott v. Sanford ruling in 1857 that which famously stated "that they [the negro] had no rights which the white
man was bound to respect," Congress' Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882 and the 193468 U.S. Federal Housing Authority's (FHA) regulations that supported housing segregation by imposing racially based "redlining" on housing markets nationwide.
Undoubtedly, much of this country's fixation on drawing legal and spatial racial boundaries has much to do with a phrase that Kenneth M. Stampp (Alexander F. and May T. Morrison Professor of History Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley) famously used as the title for his book, "The Peculiar Institution" (1956). In it, he exposes Southern chattel slavery as the brutal and self-serving institution that it was. Even though the nexus of this inhumane practice was in the South, no section of the then-existing U.S. escaped its influence and economic benefit. This "peculiar institution" indelibly marked the history, economy and sociology of the U.S. during the 18th and 19th centuries. The 1860 U.S. Census indicated that the U.S., at that time comprising 33 states, 10 territories and 31 million inhabitants, had 3.9 million slaves.
The abrupt postCivil War "freedom" of 10 percent of America's total population set the stage for the constant erection of legal and social barriers deliberately designed to deny the former slaves' complete and actual emancipation.
As a result, over time post-Reconstruction Jim Crow laws morphed into slightly less blatant activities like mass incarceration (see Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness," 2010) nationwide and various thinly veiled voter suppression schemes in some states. Also, the brutal terrorist lynchings of the 19th and 20th centuries have

been replaced with frequent police-involved shootings of Black people on the streets. It is this toxic racialized context that has a strong negative impact both within and outside the Muslim American community.
"Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. They are the ones to attain felicity" (Q. 3:104). Muslims, regrettably, like other Americans, also love this idea of "race." The most commonly cited indication of this is the frequency with which families reject marriage proposals for their daughters simply because the suitor is from another cultural/ethnic group. We also see it in the sometimesblatant nativism in the African American Muslim community against "foreigners" (see Sherman Jackson's "Islam and the Blackamerican: Looking Toward the Third Resurrection," 2011).

As God makes clear: "O you who believe, stand out firmly for justice as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, your parents, your kin and whether it be (against) rich or poor, for God can best protect both. Do not follow the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and [be aware that] if you distort or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that you do" (Q. 4:135).

Akron bright spot in Div. I college hoops
By KARL BRYANT
Ohio State, once rated as high as No. 2 in NCAA Men's hoops, has dropped out of the rankings after losing six of its last seven games. Akron was the sole NE Ohio rooting interest Men's Basketball team to post a win this week, as they stayed tied atop the Mid-American Conference East with Bowling Green at 5-1. MAC Kent State lost its third straight game. Both Youngstown State and Cleveland State have fallen on hard times in the Horizon League as YSU lost its third straight game and CSU, its fourth straight.
Cav's continue embarrassing slide
By KARL BRYANT
The Cavs continued their embarrassing slide after returning to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse from a six-game road trip that ended with four straight losses. On MLK Day, facing the equally woeful Knicks, they led by a point at the Half, but totally fell apart in the 3rd Quarter and went to lose ignominiously, 106-86. The loss gave both teams a 12-32 record. At Press Time, they totally flatlined, losing to the worn-out Wizards, 124-112.
In NY's win, some of the brutal Big Apple Media even took issue with having to play the game in CLE. This group was aghast, saying "The Knicks were snubbed." - forced to play for the first time ever Away from NY on MLK Day. Yikes!
The Knicks are led by Interim Coach Mike Miller (no relation to former Cav Mike Miller), named after the firing of Head Coach David Fizdale in the midst of a 10-game losing streak. He was celebrated as "the answer to the club's problems" when he posted a 6-6 record (even though "Ws" came against so-so teams) in his first dozen games as NY's mentor. Since that nice start, the Knicks went a humiliating 1-8, to end the NY Media's "love affair" with Miller. The win over the Cavs may have rekindled it.
Afterward, NY Coach Miller said, "It (defensive stops) built some momentum and it spilled over to everything that we did from there." Some NY Media touted the Knicks "revitalized Defense," after the win, although one levelheaded scribe cautioned, "Or the Cavs might be too horrible for words." It was probably a little of each. For a Half, the Cavs put on a good show, taking a 50-49 lead. But, in the 3rd Quarter, they scored only14 points. There was no recovery from that debacle as they lost by 20.
Marcus Morris and Julius Randle each scored 19 points for the Knicks. Each Cavs starter scored in double figures. Collin Sexton led the Cavs with 17 points, although he was a poor six of 20 from the field and one of four from the perimeter. Darius Garland was even worse, as he scored 11 points on just four of 20 from the field and one of six from the perimeter. Tristan Thompson scored 13 points, with a huge 22 rebounds. Larry Nance, Jr. came off the Bench to score a dozen points and pull down 10 rebounds.
NY ended up shooting 48.2%, compared to
the Cavs' very bad 34%,
which was a season low.

Div. I Women's hoops covered on ESPN
By ANDREW CARTER
ESPN just announced it will televise all NCAA Tournament Women's games instead of having regional bradcasts. It's good news as Ohio State's Women have won three of their last four Big Ten games. In the Horizon League, Cleveland State's Lady Vikings also won three of four, while Youngstown State won their last two. In the Mid-American Conference, Kent State won its third straight game while Akron's won its last contest.
Ohio State's Women beat No. 24 Michigan, 78-69, and Penn State, 8070, to stay one game behind four teams tied atop the Big Ten. OSU (11-7, 4-3 B1G) was paced by Madison Green's 23 points against Michigan (12-6, 3-4) and Dorka Juhasz' 23 against Penn State (7-11, 1-6). The Buckeyes then were nipped by Michigan State (11-7, 4-3), 68-65, as Aaliyah Patty led OSU with 12 points. They then routed Illinois (7-11, 1-6), 77-47, led by Canton McKinley's Kierstan Bell's 19 points. Bell's a 3-time Ms. BBall Ohio.
Cleveland State's Women continued their fine season by beating Northern Kentucky, 73-68, and Youngstown State, 60-52. Mariah Miller paced CSU (14-4, 4-3 HL) against both NKU (8-7, 2-2 HL), by scoring 21 points, and YSU (11-7, 4-3), by scoring 17.
CSU shockingly was upset in Detroit (2-16, 2-5), 70-59, before clobbering Oakland (MI) (8-10, 3-4), 79-58. Savanna Crockett's 17 vs. UDM and Miller's 24 vs. Oakland led CSU.
Before losing to the Lady Vikings, YSU had been demolished by Wright State (9-8, 4-2) by 50 points, 91-41. Maddie Shires led the Penguins with 15 in the thrashing by WSU and Jen Wendler led them with 13 points against CSU. YSU Women then won their next two, 79-74 over Oakland, and 62-47 over UDM. Ny'Dajah Jackson led YSU with 23 points vs. Oakland and Quinece Hatcher and Chelsea Olsen each scored 15 against UDM.
In the MAC, Kent State (10-6, 3-2 MAC) beat Northern Illinois (4-11, 0-4 MAC), 79-71, behind Asiah Dingle's 20 points. The Golden Flashes then nipped Miami (OH) (8-9, 1-4), 7875, as Nilah Blackford scored 23. KSU's currently in 2nd Place in the MAC East.
Meanwhile, Akron (9-8, 2-4 MAC) lost a couple of close ones - to Toledo (9-7, 4-1), 65-61, and Northern Illinois (5-12, 1-5), 72-69. Against the Rockets, Jordyn Dawson and Haliegh Reinoehl each scored 15 points to lead the Zips and Reinoehl scored 19 vs. NIU.
Akron then won its last game, 70-62, over Miami (OH), with Reinoehl again pacing the Zips by scoring 26.
couldn't make a shot. We missed 62 shots!"
The Cavs just faced the Wizards, who arrived at 4AM after an overtime loss in Miami. Yet even these weary Wizards were too much for the somnambulating Cavs. Washington, who's probably counting their lucky stars to be missing all the Trump Impeachment brouhaha in D.C., had lost 5 straight road games before a Cleveland visit provided them all the tonic they needed. Ahead from the 1st Quarter, D.C. was led by Bradley Beal's 36
points. Sexton, Nance, and Love scored 29, 22, and 21 points, respectively for CLE.
The Cavs next host the Bulls on Saturday, before a quick trip to the Motor City. Then, celebrated Rookie Zion Williamson, who just made his NBA debut after returning from injury, will be in CLE this Tuesday with the Pelicans.
He scored 22 points in 18 minutes in a loss to the Spurs, but for a 3:08 stretch in the final stanza, he was lightning in a bottle as he scored 17 straight points.

Boxing Nostalgia
By JIM AMATO
Roy Jones versus fighters of the 70's, 80's
Where would Roy Jones Jr. have fit in during the talent rich 70's and early 80's? I have picked who, in my opinion, were the ten best light heavyweights of that time period. Eight were champions and two were long time contenders. I then matched each against Jones in scheduled 15 round bouts as they were back then. Based on my recollections of these boxers talents, I have formed the following scenarios.
Pierre Fourie was a gifted boxer, but a light hitter. What saw him through two wars a piece against Bob Foster and Victor Galindez was his craftiness and his durability. Those same attributes would probably carry him 15 rounds against Jones. Fourie would steal a few rounds, but drop a rather one sided decision.
Yaqui Lopez fought them all; Victor Galindez, John Conteh, Saad Muhammad, Michael Spinks, and Mike Rossman. He was a strong, durable fighter with a decent punch. His draw backs were slow hands and feet and that he cut easily. Jones eats up slow fighter. This one would have resembled Jones bout with Del Valle. Jones by shutout decision or late round stoppage.
Marvin Johnson was interesting boxer. Johnson's southpaw style and aggression may surprise Jones. In the early going. Jones would have his hands full. Johnson was like a wind up toy though and as he started to slow down Jones would begin take over and punish him. Jones by knockout between rounds 7 and 10, but it would be ex-

Eddie Mustapha Muhammad may have been more competitive at 160 pounds. At this weight Muhammad, although a dangerous puncher, was slow. He would try to counter punch Jones with little success. Jones would out speed and out box Muhammad and win an easy, boring decision.
John Conteh may have been one of the best boxers to come out of England in the last 30 years. In his prime, he was a masterful boxer and a hard puncher. This could have turned into a chess match and there would be some exciting exchanges. The difference here would be Jones's slightly quicker hands and Conteh's weak chin. Jones by a hard earned decision or a late round stoppage.
The three boxers I picked to beat Jones are all in the Hall Of Fame so there is no shame there. Jonesdominated a weak division for a very long time. Although not his fault, it is very difficult to determine how good Jones really was. By the time some tough competition appeared, Jones's skills had started to erode. Antonio Tarver and Glencoffe Johnson are very good fighters and worthy champions.
Still I'll aways feel that a prime Jones would have handled them.

"The key to saving time when hosting a get-together is organizing your menu and creating a timeline of your preparation steps," says Manning. "Selecting recipes that can be prepared ahead of time is a huge time-saver for you and will allow you to relax and spend more time with your guests."
Entertaining Made Easy
Do the Math: Make sure you have enough food to feed everyone.
A good rule of thumb is three to four different kinds of appetizers for a party of 15. Plan to offer at least one to 1? servings of each appetizer to each guest.
Use a Slow Cooker: This dish can double as a serving and cooking device. Try Slow-Cooker Hearty Chili with ground beef, beans and cheese for a tasty and hearty winning
dish. Best part? Use the leftovers as a topper for nachos to save time in the kitchen the next day.
Serve a CustomCreated Beverage: A pitcher of your favorite beverage creation will free you up from bartending duties.
Make-Ahead Spreads: Hot spreads and creamy dips can be assembled, covered and refrigerated a day in advance.
Bake them just before guests arrive so they're hot out of the oven at party time.
Preprep: Buy precut veggies to lessen your chopping time. Celery, cauliflower, peppers and baby carrots can all be bought the day before and simply laid out on a tray for easy dipping.
Save the Mess: Let sticky chicken wings fly off to Buffalo and instead enjoy a tangy, no-mess Buffalo Chicken Dip featuring PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese with a side of crackers or crudit?s. Much easier to make--and to clean up.

Eric Dolphy
Born in Los Angeles on June 20, 1928, Eric Dolphy became known as a distinctive player of the flute, alto saxophone and bass clarinet.
Dolphy began playing clarinet at age six and alto sax in professional dancebands while in junior high school.
He studied music at Los Angeles City College and played lead alto sax in Roy Porter's band (1948-50).
After two years in the Army, Dolphy returned to L.A., performing locally in relative obscurity until he joined Chico Hamilton's quintet in 1958.
Dolphy moved to New York the next year, performed with Charles Mingus's band from 1959-60 and freelanced with his own groups and other musicians, including John Coltrane.A versatile musician, Dolphy played jazz and 20th Century at music.
Jazz critics claim he constantly surprised audiences with his rapid flow of ideas and unexpected phrasing and intervals.It was Dolphy, primarily, who introduced the bass clarinet as a solo jazz instruments.
After he chose to remain in Europe, Dolphy had a few gigs before his sudden death from a diabetic coma in Berlin on June 29, 1966. Dolphy's creations are welldocumented on numerous albums still in print.
He also appears on the film The Coltrane Legacy, and on a 1964 session with Mingus released as a video by Shanachie.

Harper promises to meet Jordan afterward and Murch finds the guts to walk away from Shelby after her disapproval of him attending the bachelor party.

"The Best Man" is a wonderful tribute to middleclass black America and the time-honored tradition of marriage. It is a unique effort that showcases an ensemble of credible actors and actresses who were well-crafted in working together as a team. Also, there was a sequel, The Best Man Holiday (2013) that updated the relationships of the friends over a decade later.

African American not give access to advanced courses
Despite their ability to succeed at advanced coursework, new research shows, black and Latino students in Ohio and other states often are locked out of opportunities for advanced learning.
The report from the Education Trust examined the underlying causes of the disparities and found two main drivers. Kayla
Patrick, a policy ana-
lyst for the trust, said
schools that enroll the
most black and Latino
students have slightly
fewer seats available in advanced courses - and schools that are consid-
ered more racially diverse are less likely to enroll black and Latino students in those courses.
"You might walk into a high school and the hallways are racially diverse, but the classrooms are not. The classrooms are segregated by race," she said. "So, we really want district leaders and school leaders to really look at who's inside their classrooms and making sure that everyone has a fair opportunity to enroll."
The report found Ohio would need to double the number of black students - both in elementary gifted pro-
grams and advancedplacement high school classes - to ensure fair representation.
It makes a variety of recommendations to expand access to advanced learning opportunities, Patrick said, including implementing universal screening for gifted and talented programs, as well as automatic enrollment, "to make sure that every student who is ready for that advanced coursework has the opportunity to enroll in these courses.
So, that's either allowing the students who have the grades, the previous course-
work, and who really want to be in the course are allowed to be in the course."
Patrick also encouraged districts to provide supports for success, both for teachers and students.
"So making sure that teachers have the professional development and are ready to teach students in these advanced coursework opportunities," she said. "And it also means pro-
viding tutoring, and maybe after-school programs or summer programs, that really catch students up and have them ready and prepared."
She said states also should set clear, measurable goals for access to advanced coursework, and use data to identify factors that may be preventing students of color from enrolling.

Cleveland 20/20: A Snapshot of photos of the city exhibit at Cleveland Library
How do you describe Cleveland? Cleveland 20/20: A Photographic Exploration of Cleveland, an exhibition partnership project of the Cleveland Public Library and the Cleveland Print Room, explored the diversity of the city--full of life, culture and history.
The Public Library welcomes the public to the opening on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 20 at 4:30 p.m. in Brett Hall, on the first floor of Main Library in downtown Cleveland. "The exhibition is a celebration of Cleveland. The culmination of a commu-
nity effort to document our city's story through words and images, it's a larger than life thank you card to the community for supporting the Library for 150 years," said Aaron Mason, Director of Outreach and Programming Services of Cleveland Public Library.
Cleveland 20/20 consists of nearly 200 photographs with four central themes: water, leisure, intimate moments and geography. "The exhibition presents 25 points of view of Cleveland, interwoven in groupings that evoke the texture of urban

life at various intersections, monuments, and neighborhoods--some familiar, others not," said exhibition curator Lisa Kurzner. Kurzner's portfolio as an independent curator includes the Cleveland Museum of Art, moCa Cleveland and FRONT International in 2018. "The project turns an historical archive into a curatorial time capsule. The photographs show the realness of Cleveland that is often taken for granted," explains Shari Wilkins, Executive Director of the Cleveland Print Room.
There are 25 amateur and professional
photographers who spent nine months chronicling the people, the places, and the true grit of the city in color and in black and white: Tim Arai, Enahjae Beasley, Stephen Bivens, Bridget Caswell, Matthew Chasney, Hadley K. Conner, Destanee Cruz, Billy Delfs, Shelly Duncan, Maria Fallon, Aja Grant, Diana Hlywiak, Da'Shaunae Jackson, Adam Jaenke, Jef Janis, Felix Latimer, Daniel Levin, Greg Martin, Christopher Mason, Gabrielle Murray, Owen Rodemann, Ruddy Roye, Michael Tsegaye, and Shari Wilkins.

Robert Banks, a Cleveland filmmaker, presents
a new film of Roye working; catching the photographer interacting with his subjects.
"The photographers captured Cleveland as we know it. We invite people to visit the Main Library to see the exhibition and experience the raw truth and emotion of the subjects. It is history in still form," Mason said.
Cleveland Public Library will preserve the images compiled for Cleveland 20/20 in its Photographs Collection, which currently holds 1.3 million photographs, most from the mid-1800s to the 1990s.
In addition to the Cleveland 20/20 photography project in Brett Hall, 90.3 WCPN ideastream will display

`Just Mercy' playing at local theatres
A powerful and thought-provoking true story, "Just Mercy" follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice.
After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson).
One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a
motive to lie. In the years that
follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds--and the system-- stacked against them.
Every Generation Has It's Hero. Stevenson (born November 14, 1959) is an American lawyer, social justice activist, founder/executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, and a clinical professor at New York University School of Law.
Based in Montgomery, Alabama, Stevenson has challenged bias against the poor and minorities in the criminal justice system, especially children. He has helped achieve United States Supreme Court decisions
that prohibit sentencing children under 18 to death or to life imprisonment without parole.
Stevenson has assisted in cases that have saved dozens of prisoners from the death penalty, advocated for poor people, and developed community-based reform litigation aimed at improving the administration of criminal justice.
He initiated the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, which honors the names of each of the over 4,000 African Americans lynched in the twelve states of the South from 1877 to 1950. He argues that the history of slavery and lynchings has influenced the subsequent high rate of death sentences in the South, where it has been disproportionately
applied to minorities. A related museum, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, offers interpretations to show the connection between the post-Reconstruction period of lynchings to the high rate of executions and incarceration of people of color in the United States.
In November 2018, Stevenson received the Benjamin Franklin Award from the American Philosophical Society as a "Drum major for justice and mercy".
This is the most prestigious award the society gives for distinguished public service.

Mount Govardhan in the context of the landscape and sacred space from which it came.
The newly restored Cleveland Krishna is showcased with nine important related stone sculptures on loan from the National Museum of Cambodia and the Mus?e national des arts asiatiques-Guimet.
The exhibition provides visitors with an entirely new and revelatory experience in which digital media supports the understanding and appreciation of exceptional works of Cambodian art. Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia's Sacred Mountain is on view from October 18, 2020, to January 3, 2021, in the Kelvin and
Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Hall and is accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue.
"The opportunity to update and restore the Cleveland Krishna, which was long ago broken into many pieces found at different times, is yet another result of our Cultural Cooperation Agreement with the Kingdom of Cambodia," said William Griswold, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art. "Collaboration with our Cambodian and French colleagues and advances in technology were essential for the successful new reconstruction. The exhibition shares the incredible story of
how the discoveries and conservation efforts evolved since the late 1800s and presents what we have learned about Krishna's place at the site itself."
Originating in India, the myth of the superhuman child-god Krishna reached a high point between the AD 400s and 600s. At the same time, people in Southeast Asia were beginning to adopt religious art, texts and ritual practices from India, reconceived for their own purposes.
In the Mekong River delta of southern Cambodia, control of floodwaters meant economic success. The powerful image of Krishna holding up Mount Govardhan
to shield his followers from destructive deluge held special relevance to the population of this region.
In the exhibition, cinematic projections of 360-degree video with surround sound transport visitors to the canal ways of the Mekong delta to see how pilgrims journeyed by boat to the site where Krishna and his counterparts were worshiped.
Through collaborations with Microsoft and the Interactive Commons at Case Western Reserve University, Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia's Sacred Mountain also features a guided mixed-reality audiovisual tour. Using

Sure, roses are the flower of love, but they're not the only variety that are romantic. A bouquet of peonies, sunflowers, or tulips, which symbolize happiness, prosperity, and romance, may be more appreciated this year.
According to FTD Flowers, Peonies -these fluffy blooms are most commonly associated with romance, prosperity, and bashfulness. Some even believe they're a good luck charm of sorts, bringing good fortune to whoever receives them. Peonies also have some roots in Greek mythology: as one myth states, Apollo used to turn beautiful nymphs into peonies if Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, knew he was flirting with them.So this year -think beyond those dozen red roses
