For Georgia to Get Back to Work, Healthcare Must Lead the Way

Whatever you think that timetable should be, there is one thing every business owner should realize: For businesses to be healthy, our healthcare system must be functioning. In the past few days, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and a few other state governors have boldly declared that elective surgeries can resume and that healthcare providers of all kinds can start seeing patients.
Cincinnati's Market Sees Success As A Nonprofit. Will It Work In Cleveland?
One of the most often-posed questions from both vendors and customers about the future of Cleveland's West Side Market, has been about site management. Instead of the City of Cleveland they ask, should operations be converted to a dedicated nonprofit, focused solely on the market’s improvement and success? There is an example of the impact of just such a change. It happened 17 years ago, in Cincinnati. To Market, To Market...
Struggling West Side Market Looks To The Future, Possibly As Nonprofit
As the City of Cleveland considers a study which could end up turning over the iconic 107-year-old West Side Market to nonprofit management, it’s worth looking back at the civic centerpiece, its history and the path many of its vendors have taken to be where they are today. Though the city last month introduced new goals for the market -- meant to be implemented this year -- there are vendors who insist the market has issues which are forcing them to consider leaving.
Noon(ish): Slow And Steady, Get It Over With Already Or Just Right?
Where do we set the bar? That’s the question facing the U.S. Congress when it comes to the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. As the House unveiled its two articles of impeachment against President Trump this morning, charging him with abuse of power in the Ukraine affair and with obstruction of Congress, where they’re setting the bar became one of the questions to be answered.
Noon(ish): How Long Will You Live?
An interesting report out today from the Center for Community Solutions shows where we live in Ohio plays a large role in how long we'll be around. The numbers in some cases confirm what’s been long believed: being poor, being black and other socioeconomic and demographic factors influence our health and have impact on lifespan . What perhaps we didn't realize is how big that impact is.
The Greater Cleveland Food Bank Reflects on 40 Years of Volunteers
For a six county area of Northeast Ohio, people who find themselves in need of food know to turn to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, and its affiliates. In 2019, the food bank celebrated 40 years of serving the community. The organization has grown a considerable amount over those past four decades, in part, to address the ever-present problem of hunger.
Noon(ish): When Does A Statute Of Limitations Limit Justice?
Amy is working on a special assignment today, so I'm back, taking on Noon(ish) duties. Cleveland has fought to slow the tide of sex crimes prior to, and especially following, the Anthony Sowell case, when the bodies of 11 women he'd raped and murdered were discovered in and around his Imperial Avenue home. Had he been investigated and jailed on earlier sex crime charges, might some of those women have lived?
Harrison Dillard, Buffalo Soldier And Olympic Gold Medalist, Dies At 96
Cleveland native and Olympic hero, Harrison Dillard, died on Friday afternoon. He was 96. Dillard grew up in Cleveland – like many young boys of the day – idolizing larger-than-life African American sports stars, including Olympic sprinter Jesse Owens. But Owens was more than a sports hero to Dillard. He was a neighbor who had preceded Dillard at East Tech High School, and at age 13, Dillard dreamed of emulating Owens, on the track and as a role model.
Noon(ish): Bloom Bakery Closing More Than Just Spilled Milk
Have you ever baked a brownie, cake, cookie, whatever... and let it go too long, so you scorched the whole thing? Yeah, me too. Equally bad is when you pull the baked goods from the oven too soon. Those are likewise ruined because baking is a precise art. Apparently, so too is running a bakery. And we almost lost one this week, by having the goods pulled out too soon.

Noon(ish): Election 2019: So much winning for Northeast Ohio women
So we've plowed through yet another election day with about a quarter of the potential electorate turning out to decide how the other three-quarters should live. It was nothing if not a day of close calls, upsets and visible strength from a growing number of female candidates across Northeast Ohio. Let’s begin with mayoral races. In Lakewood, Meghan George beat Sam O’Leary to become the next mayor by one of the thinnest margins of victory in any of yesterday's races, only 1.5 percent.
Noon(ish): Are you staying home from the polls?
So I’m NOT one of the 80,000 or so Cuyahoga County residents whose polling place moved from one spot to another for today’s Election Day activities. Hopefully, you know if that includes you. But I am one of the Cuyahoga County residents who will go out of his way to vote. That’s despite indications there will be low voter turnout for Tuesday’s election across Ohio — even by past low-turnout standards.
Noon(ish): 444 Days In Iran, 40 Years And Three Ohioans
Do you remember the images of 40 years ago today? American flags on fire or being stomped on the ground. American citizens being lead blindfolded into captivity. And revolutionary Iranian students, angry at the United States, protesting and rioting, without knowing what their actions would spiral into. So began 444 days of knowing that 52 Americans, including three Ohioans, were being held against their will.
Noon(ish): Is Anyone (Else) Going As Rick Jackson For Halloween This Year?
Today is Halloween, which means for most municipalities, there are hundreds if not thousands of trolls and fairies and superheroes on the streets tonight – most about three feet tall, if that. So as you’re navigating the thoroughfares this evening, please think about safety as well as Snickers and about precaution as well as Pay Day bars. Drive smart.
Noon(ish): Out Of Tragedy, Unity In Our Divided Times
From the most somber of moments comes a most uplifting occurrence. Tuesday night in Ashtabula County – thousands of people, by some estimates – took time away from their dinners, their movie-going, their streaming, and their watching the World Series to honor someone. Someone who many of them may have never known, but someone who mattered. The remains of U.S. Army Sgt.
Noon(ish): Lennon’s Legacy And Breen’s Benevolence
Sitting in for Amy this week – I’m Rick Jackson. It certainly seems Northeast Ohio is losing more than our fair share of leaders lately... Steve Minter, Morton Mandel, Toni Morrison, Peter Van Dijk, Fred McLeod, and our own A. Grace Lee Mims among them. Two more giants were added to that list today, as we learn of the deaths of Jack Breen, former CEO at Sherwin Williams, and the 10th Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, Bishop Richard Lennon.
