The Doom Patrol The Phantasy Saturday, February 3
Michele Ragland was five years old in 1966 when her family moved to East Cleveland. She'd run around her neighborhood playing hide-and-seek, feeling completely safe amid the well-kept homes owned by stable families, both white and black. "It was wonderful then," she says.
Now, Ragland and her husband are raising their sons just a few blocks away from where she grew up. But East Cleveland is no longer the town she remembers.
She walks her kids to school past abandoned, decaying buildings. Though her old brick apartment building, with its freshly painted trim, looks stately and well-maintained from the outside, sections of her bathroom and kitchen ceilings have collapsed. Water from a leaky pipe made a hole in her kitchen floor. Mice skitter about at night.
Ragland and her family hope to move out of East Cleveland this year. It won't be easy, since her husband, a mechanic, is laid up after a car accident, and she's out of work, except for the money she earns making Egyptian-style earrings and jewelry boxes. But her parents already left a few years ago. Her mother is telling her to do the same.
"It's horrible now," Ragland says. "You hear gunshots at night."
Three years ago, outside Ragland's previous apartment, a teenager fatally shot two of his friends, then turned the gun on himself. Scared, she moved across town. Then this fall, an auto mechanic she knew was shot to death during an argument with a customer. She happened upon the crime scene, two blocks from her home, on the way to her sons' day-care center.
"I never would have thought East Cleveland would have come to this," she says.
For years, the three-square-mile city has been the most troubled community in Greater Cleveland. Its school system, which the state considers the worst in the Cleveland area, has mismanaged its finances so badly that, at one point last year, the FBI and IRS suspected criminal activity. The city loses track of half the water it buys, resulting in higher water bills.
Residents pay some of the highest taxes in Cuyahoga County, but their municipal government still struggles for money. That's because the city is the poorest in the county and one of the poorest in Ohio. There simply isn't much to tax.
The understaffed police department gets 38,000 calls a year from its 29,000 residents. Prisoners are stuffed into an outdated, overcrowded jail. So many abandoned buildings scar the streets that it will take the city, at its current pace, four years to have them all torn down.
"We need almost a billion-dollar budget, not 15 million," the mayor says, in a moment of exasperation.
Wherever there's decline, the hopeful watch for signs of rebirth. And optimistic East Clevelanders point to a falling crime rate, gardens sprouting as neighborhoods bounce back, and plans -- most of them still on paper -- for repaved streets, repairs to schools, and new, modern houses.
But for now, there's a sense that the city is still caught up in a struggle against vicious circles, age, and scarce funds. In most of its neighborhoods and on much of Euclid Avenue, East Cleveland seems weighted down by its history.
A hundred years ago, John D. Rockefeller summered in East Cleveland. It was a budding village created as a home for "select society," in the words of its then-mayor. Forest Hill, the Rockefeller family estate, sprawled across hundreds of acres, while just to the north, a suburb of "graded streets, flagged sidewalks, and artistic homes" was being built along Euclid Avenue.
By 1930, the town between Cleveland and Cleveland Heights was home to 40,000 people living in big, wide-porched houses and ornate apartment buildings. Rockefeller was long gone, thanks to a tax dispute and a fire that destroyed his home in the 1910s, but his son was leaving grandiose signatures on the town. In the '20s, John D. Rockefeller Jr. masterminded the construction of a well-to-do subdivision of brick, wood, and slate-roofed homes. Later, in the '30s, he would donate the core of his father's estate to East Cleveland and neighboring Cleveland Heights to create Forest Hill Park.
The town aged gracefully, slowly taking in more middle- to working-class families as the upper middle class moved to newer suburbs. But in the '60s, when black Clevelanders began moving to town, attracted by the suburban good life of East Cleveland's affordable neighborhoods, white residents reacted with panic and fear. They sold their houses and fled the city. East Cleveland went from 98 percent white in 1960 to 59 percent black in 1970 and 94 percent black in 1990.
"There certainly wasn't a welcome wagon here," says Mae Stewart, whose family became the second black household on Melbourne Street in September 1960. Just before she moved, someone who claimed to work for the city called and grilled her about her plans. On the Stewarts' first day in town, police came by and told her the moving van had to be off the street by 6 p.m.
An older neighbor made a point of watering his lawn every day just as Stewart's children were walking home from elementary school. He'd spray water across the sidewalk to keep the kids away. Stewart told them to cross the street, but one day her daughter got fed up and turned the hose on the man.
He soon moved away. He wasn't the only neighbor to go.
"It seems like I went to bed one winter night, woke up on a spring day, and everybody had moved," says Stewart, who went on to become a city commissioner in the 1970s and '80s. "The white flight was really something. A lot of realtors took advantage of that fact [and started] blockbusting. They would call some of the neighbors and say, 'The neighborhood is changing. Maybe you'd better sell and get out.'"
In 1967, the city government surveyed its residents on how they were dealing with urban change. "East Cleveland represents the first real test of the proposition that a viable, racially integrated community can be created in America," wrote the study's authors.
But East Cleveland was already failing the test. Instead of changing gradually and welcoming people of different races and incomes, block after block had already gone from all white to all black in a few years. And white East Clevelanders' responses to the survey were openly racist: They thought too many black and poor people were moving to town, and older whites said flat-out that they did not want to live in an integrated community.
Some remain just as blunt. Gene Woodson bought a house in East Cleveland in 1962 and sold it in 1966. Today, his job as a salesman for a furniture manufacturer still takes him to the city sometimes. Blue-eyed, wearing a Notre Dame windbreaker, he regales a reporter with tales of the '30s and '40s, when East Cleveland was "a very clean city." He rode the streetcars to school for pennies, and he remembers when Cleveland's first National Football League team, the Rams, played a couple of games at Shaw High's stadium.
But ask Woodson why he sold his house near East Cleveland's Kirk Middle School, and he practically whispers his answer: He moved out "when black kids went up to Kirk," after another school closed. And when some of the kids started calling the house to talk to his six daughters, he put his house on the market. "I didn't want to buy a machine gun," he says. He sold to a black buyer.
For every white family who left, there was a black family eager to buy a home. "A lot of people got some fantastic buys," says Mae Stewart. Government housing programs helped many low-income people come to East Cleveland, which looked even more attractive to residents of Cleveland's East Side after the 1968 riots in their neighborhoods.
But East Cleveland went through so many sudden economic changes that, ultimately, it couldn't remain the same pleasant suburban community.
More low-income citizens meant less income tax revenue, resulting in reduced city services, including fewer housing inspectors. Some homeowners who left the city became landlords -- which meant that fewer residents had a homeowner's stake in the community, and the absentee owners had less reason to keep up their properties. Many homes and apartments, which were already old, began to deteriorate.
Meanwhile, suburban shopping malls were draining prosperity from old downtowns everywhere. East Cleveland was hit especially hard. Stewart says the city was booming when she moved in. She fondly recalls the butcher shop in her neighborhood, a shop devoted entirely to buttons, the soda fountain at a drug store.
"But when people of a different economic background move in, they can't support those kinds of things," she says. "I don't think the businesses necessarily was in that white-flight mentality. They stay where they can survive."
Mayor Emmanuel Onunwor seems torn.
"The city's changing, and I'm very happy," he says, in his mellifluous Nigerian accent. The crime rate is down. Builders want to bring new homes to the city. This year, all of Euclid Avenue, from one end of East Cleveland to the other, is set to be completely repaved, with new sidewalks and streetlights, thanks to $6.7 million in state grants and loans.
In other areas, progress is slower. Though the subdivisions on Rockefeller's hill are as pristine as any suburb's, and some blocks just south of Euclid are in decent shape, many of East Cleveland's neighborhoods are full of sagging homes with peeling paint jobs and deserted apartment complexes with broken windows.
Onunwor says he wants the city to do a better job of boarding up abandoned buildings, cleaning up vacant lots, and helping to rehabilitate homes. Ninety deserted buildings have been demolished in the three years he's been mayor, but 198 are still standing, and that count doesn't include single-family homes.
"I'm happy for the accomplishments, what we have done up to now. I really want to do much more. I want to respond to every need that affects each resident . . . But really, we can't, because if you don't have enough money, you are restricted as to what you can do."
Money is a perpetual problem for East Cleveland. For 12 years, the city has been under a state-declared fiscal emergency. Though its finances have improved, a fiscal commission appointed by the governor still oversees the city's books.
Balancing the $15 million budget means operating the city on a shoestring.
"We're providing the absolute minimum level of service to the citizens," says Jeremiah Johnson, who heads the city council's finance committee. After winter storms, overwhelmed city employees drive snow plows, then jump into salt trucks, then pick up fallen tree branches. "They're the parks' cleanup crew, the street sweepers," he says. "They're the same group of guys; they just change hats. There's not enough of them for us to stay on one activity as long as we need to."
Other departments are also understaffed. East Cleveland has 58 police officers, but should have 72, given its size, says Police Chief Patricia Lane.
Low pay means city departments have trouble recruiting talented workers, says Councilwoman Mildred Brewer. "We need funds to bring our staff up to par. We can't get qualified people to come in." Starting pay for a housing inspector, for example, is $18,807 a year.
"All our staffs are underpaid. Of course it affects morale," Onunwor says. "I have to work so hard to try to bump them up, to make them realize that, as long as we keep making changes, more homes will move into the city, more businesses . . . When the tax base improves, then we can increase the salary of the staff." Already, the mayor sees a sign of hope: In 2000, the city collected $1.1 million more in general fund revenues than it expected.
But in just a few months, the city will have to start its own EMS service, at an estimated cost of a half-million to a million dollars a year. Huron Hospital, which has long provided free EMS in the city, is shutting it down this spring in order to address its own budget problems.
"At this particular time, we don't have the money [for EMS]," says Brewer. "We need more police on the force. We don't have any money for that. We need a justice center. We don't have money for that." While big cities like Cleveland have downtown office buildings and heavy industry in their tax bases, most of the small industry East Cleveland once had left years ago. Income tax generates only so much; in the 1990 census, 26 percent of East Cleveland families lived below the poverty line. "We really don't have any resource to bring monies into the city," Brewer says.
The city jail is in violation of state codes. It's old and overcrowded, with bad lighting and ventilation systems. "It's raggedy," says a man who has spent time in it. "It stinks. People were sleeping on the floors."
The mayor would like to build not only a new jail, but a whole new city hall. The current one, built in stages between 1855 and 1958, is too small to hold all the city's departments. Until recently, the boiler was failing regularly.
East Cleveland's government fell into fiscal emergency status in 1988, when the state auditor's office found that it had a $3.7 million deficit. It was hardly the first problem auditors had discovered. In the mid-1980s, they helped expose a wave of corruption in the city, leading to several criminal convictions. Three city commissioners had double-dipped into expense accounts to pay for conventions in places like Las Vegas, and the municipal judge and finance director had bilked the city out of $200,000 in kickbacks from contractors.
Today, East Cleveland's budget is balanced, the corruption scandals history. But two main problems keep the city under state fiscal control: the water department and the dozens of bookkeeping errors that annual financial audits turn up. Pete Giesswein, head of the state auditor's Cleveland office, says he can't finish the 1999 audit because he's still waiting for information from the city. Onunwor admits the finance department suffers from "sloppy bookkeeping" and says the new finance director he hired in August is working to put a better system in place.
Chronic problems also plague the community development department, key to revival in any troubled town. Turnover is high, with six directors in three years. Twice, the federal government has questioned whether the department can be trusted to administer federal rehab funds. It cut off money to the city for more than two years and almost canceled another grant in 1999.
Etta Reynolds, an elderly woman in a purple hat and green coat, comes to the microphone to address the city council. She lives alone in her home of 34 years, she says a bit forlornly; her brothers and nephew are long gone.
And yet her water bill, in the last three months, has escalated to almost $1,500.
She hands the bill to Councilman O. Mays, who examines it and passes it to Jeremiah Johnson. They look appropriately grim.
"I cannot exist this way," Reynolds says. "I don't use this water."
Of all East Cleveland's problems, water may be the biggest. Since the 1980s, the city's aging system has vexed local leaders.
Billing errors and faulty meters are common. Some residents like Reynolds may end up being overcharged, but often, the mistakes mean a loss for the city. Add to that 60 identified leaks, and the city loses track of about half of the water it buys.
By law, the water department is supposed to pay for itself. But for years, the mayor and council were reluctant to raise rates -- even though the price East Cleveland paid for water was going up. Last year, as losses from unaccounted-for water mounted, the water and sewer department deficit reached over $2 million. Officials finally had to pay off the deficit, using the city's general fund; they also hiked rates by about 35 percent last year, burdening many poor residents.
"I wish I had an answer to it," the mayor says. "Our people are suffering."
The city is starting to plug the leaks and is seeing results in lower water costs, Onunwor says. But he and council members aren't sure the department can fix its problems alone. A waterworks company has offered to manage it. Officials are also holding out hope, as they have for years, that the City of Cleveland, which sells East Cleveland most of its water, might take over the system.
The problem is, Cleveland Mayor Mike White rejected that idea three years ago. He was enraged that Onunwor made a deal with the railroad company CSX to allow more train traffic through East Cleveland and into Cleveland. White, who had hoped to negotiate a single deal for the whole area, canceled all water takeover talks the day after Onunwor announced the CSX deal.
Now, East Cleveland is asking Cleveland City Council to revive the idea. Cleveland's lawmakers say they have open minds, but they're noncommittal. "We're trying to help, if there's something we can do, [but we] can't take over a system and lose money on it," says Cleveland City Council President Mike Polensek. White's office had no comment.
Onunwor made the deal at a time when he was desperate to attack his city's crime problem. CSX gave East Cleveland $2 million for its safety and service departments, enabling the police department to set up two K9 police-dog units and buy five new cruisers and a mobile command post.
When Onunwor became mayor in 1998, he considered asking the National Guard to help patrol the city.
"At that time, right here on Euclid Avenue, on Hayden Avenue, on many of our streets, there were serious drug activities. The citizens were complaining bitterly how unsafe it was," the mayor says. "It was awful. Businesses were saying, 'We are moving out of the city.' Homeowners were saying they were moving out."
Instead of calling in the Guard, the city hired more police. And Onunwor decided to take action himself. He started walking the streets -- sometimes alone, sometimes with cops or regular citizens -- talking to people he suspects of criminal behavior.
"I walk up to them, introduce myself, and say, 'I need your help,'" he says. The mayor tells suspicious loiterers that residents are complaining about drug dealing in the area. "If you're involved with such activity, I beg you to refrain from that," he tells them. "If you don't, as mayor, it's my job to enforce the law. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know."
At first, people thought he was joking. A few threatened his life. "Some of them cussed me out. Some listen and walk away. Some say, 'Mayor, I need a job.'" When they show an interest, the mayor refers them to job placement and training programs at the Urban League. Elaine Craig, director of the Urban League's East Cleveland center, says 10 to 12 clients in the last eight months have said they were referred by the mayor.
Also hitting the streets is mayoral ally Chris Williams, head of the East Cleveland People's Patrol, a group of about 10 Christians who go out on Tuesday and Friday nights to try to convince drug dealers to seek out a church, legitimate work, and an education.
"They'll walk away if they don't want to be bothered," says Williams. "But a lot of people stop and talk to us."
The effect of the street-corner conversations is hard to measure. Williams believes the patrol has convinced about two dozen people to leave the corners and get out of dealing.
Onunwor credits the People's Patrol with helping to reduce the number of major crimes in the city by 22 percent from 1997 to 1999. The declines, which included a drop from 13 murders in 1997 to 5 in 1999, give East Cleveland about the same murder, robbery, and burglary rates per capita as Cleveland. But drug activity, the major focus of the mayor's and People's Patrol's efforts, is one of the few categories where arrests have increased.
High crime, low pay, and frequent turnover still tax the police department. "The major challenge is holding the department together," says Chief Lane. "The officers handle a tremendous amount of calls."
Onunwor says the city can always find new police recruits to come to East Cleveland, but keeping them is hard. "They stay here, get training . . . and they move on."
Despite the stresses, residents seem to have a favorable impression of the police department's work. Vito Brown, a waiter who has lived in East Cleveland since he was eight, gives the police a "C-plus" and says their response time isn't bad. "They are around," says another man, who has seen the drug dealing near his apartment decrease lately. "There's more trouble than I guess they can handle. They do what they can do."
Jonnie Kawasaki, director of productions at the East Cleveland Theater, is impressed with the police. "Where you see gangs hanging out, all you have to do is report it," she says. "They send cars around, and even arrest [them]. People are a lot safer in East Cleveland than the public gives them credit for."
Every two months, Dierdre White puts out a photocopied newsletter dedicated to positive aspects of life in East Cleveland: the Christmas program that gives toys to needy children, a maternity unit coming to Huron Hospital, the library's free book-delivery service.
But when she's asked what she likes and dislikes about life in East Cleveland, White's voice sags with frustration. "It's easier for me to answer what I don't like about the city," she says.
She wishes the city could crack down on neglectful landlords, get rid of the "fleabag motels" on Euclid Avenue, and find a way to attract a wealthier tax base.
On the plus side, she says, it's a town full of architecturally impressive homes. "Even some of the houses that are ready to fall down from neglect have the most beautiful stained-glass windows," she says. "One of the other things I like about the city is the diversity of people. There are a lot of good people from all over."
On Euclid, in a shiny new white building with doors framed by stone lions, Ted Lichko, the "king of credit," holds court, selling furniture and collecting rent from 500 tenants throughout the city. His apartment buildings, their signs marked with the initials of his management company, MCM, stand out as well-kept amid the decay on other blocks. In his spacious United Furniture showroom -- where the air is regularly pierced by the squawks of his blue-and-gold parrot, Flash, perched in a cage by the cashier's window -- he offers credit to people who have been turned down elsewhere.
"A lot of wonderful people live here," Lichko says. But he fears more homes will be abandoned as utility costs rise. Not only have city water bills increased, but gas bills have tripled for his apartment buildings, he says.
Lichko motions to a man at the cashier's window. "He's a tenant of mine. I've got to raise his rent to [pay] the utility bill . . . How are tenants going to afford to pay 40 percent more?"
Across from city hall, at the end of the Red Line, the Louis Stokes rapid station gleams in the sun. One of the few major new buildings in the city, its glass-and-girder design shelters a coffee shop, a display on East Cleveland history, and a waiting area that's modern and bright.
"One of the best things they could have done was build this here," says Pete Bush, a nursing-home custodian waiting for his bus one morning. It's one of the only nice things he has to say about the city he's lived and worked in for 12 years.
In a town where progress is often slow and obstacles daunting, one well-respected success is the East Cleveland Public Library, just down Euclid Avenue from the rapid station.
"This is the finest institution in the community, and I know that," boasts Greg Reese, the library director. Located in a dark brick building donated by Andrew Carnegie, it's an unofficial community center, offering a computer room, a writing class, legal aid days, black history programs, and jazz concerts.
Reese says he won't say anything negative about East Cleveland. But soon he's describing how the city's poverty disturbs him. A lot of kids used to live in the apartment buildings behind the library, and they didn't have anywhere to play except the library parking lot. Reese would see them playing baseball with bricks for bases, a stick for a bat, and no gloves. Now, the kids are gone, the buildings abandoned.
But Reese is masterminding a plan to change the landscape around him: a library expansion that will include a 250-seat auditorium, a children's center, reading galleries, and other new projects. Nearby, a new building for the Head Start preschool program is about to be constructed, and the county is considering building a human services center right behind the planned library expansion. The empty apartments will be torn down to make room for parking for the three projects.
Already, Reese has raised $2 million in donations for the library and hopes to break ground this year. "If I were in Rocky River or Shaker Heights, I'd be floating a bond issue." But given the poverty in East Cleveland, he says, he can't expect residents to pay for both library operation and expansion.
"For the last 30 years, I have enjoyed living in East Cleveland," says Jonnie Kawasaki. She praises the friendly people, the library, the police and fire departments, the churches' involvement in the community, and neighbors' increased efforts to fix up their homes. She's proud of her own organization, a community theater in a former Presbyterian church that promotes racial tolerance through nontraditional casting; she herself recently appeared in a multi-ethnic production of Arsenic and Old Lace.
Kawasaki has only one complaint. "I'm just not happy with the school system," she says. "The school board itself does not seem to be working together." The system has gone downhill since she moved to town, and the middle and high schools, especially, are struggling with discipline problems. "My granddaughter was in an English class, and the teacher transferred her to another class, because she wanted to learn and the kids were just so bad."
When Elvin Jones became superintendent of East Cleveland's school district a year and a half ago, one of his first jobs was to fix the district's finances.
A state performance audit had uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in overruns on maintenance and busing contracts that weren't competitively bid. The auditor launched a more in-depth investigation -- and the FBI and the IRS joined in, interviewing district employees.
Jones says the books were in such bad shape that investigators wondered whether district employees might have profited from the overruns through kickbacks. But the FBI has told Jones it found no illegal activity, just bad business practices, he says. (The FBI won't confirm that, saying the investigation is still pending.)
In the meantime, the superintendent has revamped the district's financial procedures. He's saving money by relying more on staff instead of contractors.
He's optimistic about the district's future. All of East Cleveland's school buildings will be either refurbished or replaced, thanks to a $106 million effort funded mostly by the state. And he's setting higher expectations for the district.
Last year, East Cleveland schools met only 2 of 27 state standards, making it the lowest performing district in Cuyahoga County. So Jones is changing curricula to ensure that kids receive instruction on everything in the state's standardized tests. He wants to meet at least seven standards next year.
Meanwhile, in the schools, teachers and counselors work to keep kids focused, despite problems some face at home.
"When [students] turn 18, a lot of parents kind of give up on them or say, 'You're on your own,'" says Dan Sadler, a counselor at Shaw High School. The parents don't have the money to care for their kids anymore, he explains. "In Ward and June Cleaver's little town, you don't deal with parents or family members who are incarcerated, in drug rehab, or unemployed . . . A lot of students, when they turn 16, immediately get part-time jobs, often to help their family.
"It makes them unique. I have a great deal of respect for the students here . . . These kids do a lot to keep themselves in school."
If a rebirth is coming to East Cleveland, it will come from the neighborhoods, house by house and apartment building by apartment building. Many residents say their neighborhoods are already coming back from a low point in the '80s. But for now, for everyone seeing signs of hope, someone else is still stuck in an apartment neglected by the building's owner.
"My landlord sucks," says a man at the Louis Stokes rapid station who won't give his name, afraid the landlord will retaliate. "I've been living in this one spot since August. I still don't get a mailbox key. I had to beg for a front-door key." For a while, he got in and out only because the drug dealers frequenting his front stoop held the door open for him.
He's afraid to bring his four-year-old daughter by, and he looks out windows that still don't have blinds. He has his mail sent to his father or sister. "Besides that, I love East Cleveland," he says. "I like to be around a bunch of people. There's cars and lights. It's pretty. I'd rather be here than Pepper Pike."
Homeowners have their own troubles. Mildred Brewer says the city is full of senior citizens who bought their houses in the late '60s and early '70s with help from a federal housing program. Now, "they are on a fixed income," she says. "They don't have money now to invest in these houses."
Charles Glaster, a realtor in Cleveland Heights, says he sold only two houses in East Cleveland last year. "It's a rough area. If they put a listing out, it lasts a long time. People know about the crime, the poverty level, all the subsidized housing that's over there, the water department, the police department. People tend to stay away from East Cleveland, if they can."
But others say that, though out-of-towners may not have noticed, East Cleveland is already on the rebound.
"Over the 10 or 11 years I've been here, there's been a dramatic change in the atmosphere of the neighborhood," says Father Dennis Kleinweber, pastor of St. Philomena Catholic Church on Euclid Avenue. "Crime certainly has gone down. There's been a tremendous effort by the city administration to clean up the street . . . It's made great strides, especially in the last four or five years. People can drive around and not be afraid."
That has made people feel freer to improve their neighborhoods, he says. "As I drive around, [I see] people are doing simple things: planting gardens outside, putting up Christmas lights. These are things I didn't see 10 years ago."
Kleinweber is doing his part for the community. Not only is he one of the police chaplains and treasurer of a citizens' group that supports the police K-9 units, but he's working with Catholic Charities to have new townhouses built behind his church. "We're trying to attract families to come live and own, instead of rent," he says.
Mayor Onunwor says he's talking with developers about finding places for new housing -- the first to be built in the city in years -- though no one has applied for a building permit yet. The city is also interested in being co-developer on some new construction. A map on Onunwor's wall has potential building sites circled, including blocks where abandoned apartments now stand.
A tour of East Cleveland with Andy Nikiforovs, head of the nonprofit Lutheran Housing, provides a vision of the city as it could be. Where others see vacant lots and aging or blighted buildings, he sees possibilities for renewal.
On the north edge of town, Nikiforovs drives past the East Cleveland Farmers' Market, located in an old building losing its paint. Lutheran Housing is working with volunteer organizers who hope to take over the market and rehabilitate it. A farmers' co-op owns it now, operating every Wednesday and Saturday morning, but the farmers' numbers have dwindled, and they're ready to sell. On a cold Wednesday in January -- the slowest time of the year, the farmers point out -- only four people have stands out, and hardly any customers approach the gray, barn-like structure.
"This would be such an important anchor for this area," Nikiforovs says. He imagines fixed-up homes and a revived market brightening the tough neighborhood.
Since 1992, Lutheran Housing has helped repair 300 homes in East Cleveland. It has bought, rehabbed, and sold 40 others, and Nikiforovs says he's been pleasantly surprised by how much demand there was for them.
Now, the organization wants to build new housing in places like the western edge of East Cleveland, where big vacant lots sit between a few apartment buildings. Until last year, empty eyesores clogged the block.
Across Forest Hill Park from the Rockefeller homes, several blocks from the worst of the abandonment, Lutheran Housing has already won a battle. Nikiforovs drives down one street in the neighborhood just south of Euclid Avenue. His organization has worked on five houses on the block, and that set off a wave of progress, he says. "When we start doing work on a street, other residents come out and begin taking a look at doing work on their own houses. It's a great scene: people feeling that, if somebody else cares about where I live, that makes it easier for me to care about where I live."
Some of the roomy, three-story houses need a bit of paint, but they're all in decent condition, brightened up by flower beds and other signs of care. They are the same "artistic homes" that once made East Cleveland such a sought-after place to live and could again.
"East Cleveland is really a nice community, with a bad reputation in the past," says Father Kleinweber. "A lot of people are working to make it a nicer place to raise a family."

I recently traveled to Washington DC for what the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) calls its "National Day of Action." This day is commonly referred to as "Lobby Day" and is exactly that: a day of lobbying with Congress. Immigration attorneys (some with clients who have particularly compelling stories) attend meetings with various Congress members on Capitol Hill to discuss what can be done to reform the current immigration law (answer: quite a bit).
The clients who accompanied their attorneys ranged from business owners hurt by the lack of H-1B numbers to a US Citizen separated from his family member due to the extremely long wait times. By far the most common client attendees (and understandably so) were DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) grantees who made impassioned pleas for why Congress should enact legislation making the benefits of DACA into an actual law (as opposed to an Executive Order, which does not actually grant them any legal status, just defers their deportation).
I focused my own meetings on work permission for spouses of H-1Bs and O-1s and increasing H-1B cap numbers as well as numbers in both the family and employment Green Card categories to speed wait times. These are issues that I see affect so many foreign nationals. I also came prepared with statistics (provided by AILA) on the amount of deportations and other enforcement actions taken by the Obama Administration because there seems to be a new talking point by Republicans in the House of Representatives that Obama is not enforcing the current immigration laws. In fact, the statistics show that criminal prosecutions for immigration violations reached an all-time high in fiscal year 2013. Illegal re-entry alone is the most prosecuted crime in America, jumping 76% during the Obama Administration.
Will springtime inspire comprehensive immigration reform?
I had the privilege of speaking with a US Representative and her legislative aide as well as the staff for a second US Representative and two US Senators. It's a difficult time to try to push for immigration reform as the momentum seems to be gone. Last April when we lobbied, things were so hopeful and the aides were discussing the substance of different reform measures with an optimistic tone. This year the mood was not so encouraging. The Senators feel they did their job and passed a bill and now it is up to the House to pass their own. It seems like everyone is waiting for someone else to make a move but no one is willing to step forward and offer a solution that a majority of Congress would vote for.
While ultimately the day was a bit frustrating, it was enlightening to see how "the process" works (or doesn't work, as the case may be). Walking the same hallways as our members of Congress and speaking with the representatives who can produce real change to the current immigration laws was an experience I wouldn't pass up for pretty much anything--well, actually, I would for a new comprehensive immigration reform law.

I spent a good part of yesterday doing black and white conversions with Silver Efex Pro 2 from Nik Software. I'm putting together a talk on Monochrome photography and judging – and I needed a few more examples to help fill out the presentation. It was a lot of fun to go through my portfolio in search of photographs that would work well in Black and White.
1. Look for photos that are all about tonality, patterns and lines, or form. Black and white lets you take away the distraction of color and let your viewer focus on other elements.
2. Color goes a long way toward setting the mood in a photo – but there are other ways to accomplish the same purpose. Use a long shutter speed for a moodier feel. Capture motion for a dynamic and energetic photograph. Look for curving lines for a sensuous photo – and diagonal lines to show depth and change. Get creative!
3. Watch your highlights and shadows. Most of the time, the best black and white photos have a nice range of tones – all the way from black to white. Don't let shadows or highlights overwhelm the shot. Check for details in the brightest and darkest areas.
4. For lower contrast scenes, try high or low-key conversions! It's a lot of fun to play with different styles!
When to fall back to Black and White photography?

'I am okay': Tottenham player insists he's fine and not struggling with injury now
Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte will be closely monitoring his players currently at the World Cup.
Their form and fitness are likely to be at the top of his list of priorities.
One of Tottenham's key players, Son Heung-min has now provided an update on his fitness.
The South Korean's involvement in Qatar wasn't guaranteed after picking up a facial injury on the eve of the tournament.
Son fractured his eye socket against Marseille in Tottenham's final Champions League group game.
He's managed to play on at the World Cup and captain his side while wearing a protective mask.

Son couldn't prevent the Taegeuk Warriors from being blown away by Brazil last night.
The Selecao stormed to a 4-0 lead before half-time, with Son's club teammate Richarlison getting on the score sheet.
South Korea scored a spectacular consolation goal in the second-half, but it was too little, too late.
Son provides fitness update after South Korea exit
The 30-year-old spoke to Korean news outlet Yonhap News Agency and was asked about his injury.
"I am okay. This is nothing compared to what my players have been going through," Son said.
Son did go down just before half-time after taking a blow to the ribs, and had to take his mask off.
Thankfully, he was fine to carry on, and played the full 90 minutes before bowing out of the competition.
Son couldn't match South Korea legend Park Ji-sung's record of scoring in three different World Cups.
His form hasn't been brilliant for Spurs this season, especially in front of goal.
After sharing the Premier League Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah last season, he's scored just three league goals this campaign.
Son providing a positive fitness update will be the most important thing for Conte.
He can now work with him training ahead of their Boxing Day clash against Brentford.
Son is still attracting interest from elsewhere, with Real Madrid closely following the South Korean.
It's unlikely Tottenham will let one of their most important players go anywhere despite the January transfer window approaching.

Liberty One Lithium concludes agreement for stake in Argentina's Pocitos West project
Liberty One Lithium has completed a mineral option and joint venture (JV) agreement with Millennial Lithium to acquire up to 80% interest in the Pocitos West project in Argentina.
The project comprises an aggregate area of 15,857ha along the western portion of the Pocitos Salar located in Los Andes Department, western Salta Province.
It is said to be ideally located directly in the middle of the Argentinian segment of the lithium triangle.
Liberty One Lithium president Brad Hoeppner said: "We have recently completed a detailed field inspection with our JV partners and had an opportunity to meet with several operators in the area.
"We have recently completed a detailed field inspection with our JV partners and had an opportunity to meet with several operators in the area."
"Examination of sampling efforts that were underway at an adjacent claim area were extremely interesting and we are preparing to move ahead with our initial NI 43-101 report with an aim to ready work plans in accordance with our agreement."
The historic drilling programme at the 60km long Pocitos salar basin created a shallow drill hole, which averaged 417 parts per million (ppm) lithium and 15,300 ppm potassium.
According to the company, previous geophysics profiles at the Pocitos West project area determined that the body of brine extends toward the west beneath the alluvial fans on-trend with the Liberty One property at depths of up to 500ft or more.
Liberty One Lithium is focused on the acquisition and development of high-grade lithium brine deposits.

« McNichol and Jackson. The original Arsenal regular back two
Which Hotspur club came first? »
John Dick, our first 250 game player who helped develop Sparta Prague
Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal
Untold Arsenal on Facebook here
The story of John Dick, by Tony Attwood
John Dick, born in Eaglesham in Renfewshire in 1876 played 284 games for Woolwich Arsenal, and scored 13 goals (262 in league with 12 goals). He joined in 1898 and left in 1912. In every possible way he was our first "stalwart", "regular", "one club man" (almost!), and everything else you want to say about a man who is a solid, long term servant of the club. His record of 284 appearances is extraordinary in an era when players moved year on year collecting clubs like little boys collect stamps.
Just consider it this way: Woolwich Arsenal started in 1893. In that season an ever-present player could have played 33 games. By 1910 this number was up to 40. So allowing for injury and illness and the occasional loss of form, a solid regular player might be playing 25 games a season. That would mean the first time anyone could have reached 100 games was 1897.
Yet by 1903 (ten years into the club's history) we had only four players getting up to the 100. 78 players had played at least one league game for the club in the five years before Dick joined in 1898, only three had got to 100 games. (I must work out how this compares with the current day – maybe it is similar, but if it is there is certainly no comparison with the number of men who played just a handful of games).
John Dick played for Airdrieonians first: Woolwich Arsenal was his second and last club. Airdrie were formed in 1878 as Excelsior before changing their name. The club had very modest success and ultimately folded in 2002 due to financial problems. When a local accountant failed to get a renamed club into the league as a replacement (Gretna were admitted instead, and they have subsequently folded) the accountant bought Clydebank FC instead and changed the name to Airdrie United, and moved the club to Airdrie, and took on their old colours. Clydebank effectively morphed into Airdrie: a strange episode even by Scottish football standards.
John Dick initially played in central midfield (a role often employing a large stopper more akin to 21st century central defenders) and immediately fitting into the side, playing 30 games that year. Later in his career he moved to number 4 (right half).
The various reports of his style say that he was strong and athletic (he was also a cross country runner of some note) and played in every game in the promotion winning 1903/4 season by which time he was the club captain.
He dropped back down the pecking order in 1905/06 and although in 1906/07 he only played one game he came back and recorded 17, 5 and 7 league games in his last three seasons. As such however he missed out on the two biggest matches in Woolwich Arsenal's history – the two FA Cup semi-finals.
So here we have a fit player who had played for two clubs, and as his stamina went, he found himself surplus to requirements. What then?
The typical answer would be "go back to Airdrie and open a pub", with "stay in south London and take on a pub" being a second choice. But not a bit of it.
In the summer of 1912 he left Arsenal to coach AC Sparta Prague and became known for being one of the early pioneers of football in the Czech part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (not Czechoslovakia as Wikipedia amusingly says – that country didn't exist at the time).
I have not found any reports of how and why this happened, but Wiki, in a separate (and perhaps more accurate article than the one that has Dick going to Czechoslovakia), says that in 1906, the AC Sparta Prague president "Dr. Petřík was in England where he saw the famous Arsenal play with their red jerseys and decided to bring one set to Praha. At that time, he did not realise he was setting up one of the club's greatest traditions. Together with the red jerseys, Sparta players wear white shorts and black socks. Shortly after World War I, a team was put together that triggered off the famous period of the twenties and thirties referred to as 'Iron Sparta'."
The problem is that the Wiki article contains no references to explain the source of his information, so we are reliant on a single unknown source for this story. But, on the other hand, that has never stopped us before.
And there is the use of the word "famous". That might just be the writer, mistakenly thinking that by this time Woolwich Arsenal were a trophy winning club, but it might reflect something else that we have seen before: by bringing pro football to London Woolwich Arsenal FC had a reputation way beyond their achievements.
It would be wonderful to know if this connection in 1906 (when John Dick was starting on the last few years of his playing career) led to the move to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And even more wonderful to know what happened after. Did he leave on the outbreak of war in 1914? Was he interned? Or did he carry on perhaps as a trainer? He would have been 38 at the outbreak of war.
I recognise that the chances of their being a reader here who knows about Sparta Prague and its history are slim, but, well, we have just had contact from Brazil, so you never know.
Untold Indexes largely incomprehensible, but interesting none the less
Arsenal history takes the official version, tears it up and starts again.
Making the Arsenal is, well, just so different from everything else in the history of history that really words fail most people who have ever read it.

Andy Kelly
Although Dick finished his first team career in 1910, he continued to play in the reserves until the end of the 1911-12 season. He was reserve team manager for 1910-11 and 1911-12. He also ran a tobacco and confectionery business in Plumstead during his latter years with Arsenal. He was a stonemason by trade.
During May 1907, he played a number of games on Arsenal's first ever overseas tour. Arsenal played two games against SK Slavia IPS in Czechoslovakia on the tour.
In May 1912, the club played its second overseas tour. One game was played in Prague against Deutscher FC. This was the team that he became coach of in June 1912.
He spent the duration of World War 1 in Czechoslovakia.
During the summer of 1922 he became coach of Sparta Prague.
According to Tony Matthews' Who's Who he died in Plumstead around 1948. I've not been able to verify this so I would take it with a pinch of salt.
Thanks Andy – although I'll still say Czecho didn't exist until after the dividing up of the map after 1918. Which meant he spent time in the homeland of the enemy (the A-H Empire). I wonder what his status was during those years.
Did you see we have a little extra on Frank Heppinstall – another "meet the ancestors" comment.
Hi Tony, to be honest my history of Europe, especially pre-WW1, isn't that great. I had a feeling that Czechoslovakia probably didn't exist but couldn't be bothered to czech (sorry, couldn't resist it!).
The boom in genealogy has resulted in the likes of Sue Bennett making herself known. I've also contacted people on ancestry.co.uk and asked them if they realised that their ancestors had played for Arsenal in its early days. Most have been pleasantly surprised.
The funniest one was a few years back who had Ted Drake as a bit of a cricketer – and didn't have a clue that he also played football!
Andy – you must be one of those people who used to call Robert Maxwell a bouncing czech.
Robert Campion
John Dick is related to my scottish cousin (he is her 2nd cousin). John died in 1961 in Surrey. I am currently awaiting a copy of his death certificate.
Bob GEE
John Dick was considered by my father, Albert Edward GEE, as his uncle. My father was always proud of this connection with the Arsenal and as a lifetime "Gooner", so am I. My grandfather GEE was one of ten siblings of whom two were girls. My understanding is that John Dick married one of these girls. There was always a very strong GEE presence in and around Woolwich at this time due to the fact that there was a tradition of GEE's in The Royal Artillery and the RHA school in Woolwich. My father was sent to Woolwich as an artificer in the Royal Artillery at the age of 13 and I recall him speaking of his many invitations to Sunday tea at the homes of his Aunties and Uncles who lived in or near Woolwich. My understanding is that Czechoslovakia as an independent country didn't exist until after WW1 when it was created by the Versaille Treaty.
bubbygooner
Further to the debate as to Woolwich Arsenal being world famous,I remember as a kid watching a programme which I believe was based on a true story,starring Dennis Waterman about the first ever world cup(unofficial).In the film, I seem to remember that there was a large group of dignitaries awaiting the arrival of the famous Woolwich Arsenal team,only to be dissappointed when West Auckland turned up! There had been an assumption that WAFC were Woolwich Arsenal!
It is here on youtube:A Captains tale…

John Dick was the grandfather I never knew as he died in 1923 or 1924 at the age of 55 and some years before my birth in 1942. He had four sons and two daughters my mother Marjorie being the eldest daughter. The family has some details of his life post Woolwich Arsenal and we would be happy to furnish these if wanted.
Michael – most certainly any details that you have would be welcome. Please either send them in as another comment or if you prefer email Tony.Attwood@aisa.org and I'll integrate them into the article.
Martin Whittle
Hi there, have officially established when John Dick died and/or where as I see there are two conflicting posts here?
Thanks for all the hard work.
Karol Svaral
@ Michael REDDISH
John Dick couldnt die in 1923 or 1924, as he coached Sparta Praha yet in 1931, even winning inaugural Mitropa Cup in 1927. If your grandfather passed away before your birth 1942, it had to be between 1931-1942
I've written about the life of John Dick, and discovered he died in 1932. You can read the article here: http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-history-news-and-blog/johnny-dick-the-scot-who-put-the-iron-into-sparta

Biografia
Il maresciallo aiutante Guerrino Botte prestava servizio al nucleo operativo del comando provinciale di Bolzano. Condusse le indagini su alcuni efferati omicidi che avevano turbato la comunità locale raccogliendo importanti elementi che portarono all'individuazione di Ferdinand Gamper, quale autore dei crimini che da settimane terrorizzavano la città di Merano. Il 1º marzo 1996 nel tentativo di catturare il serial killer, all'interno del casolare in cui si nascondeva, il Maresciallo Botte venne ferito mortalmente da un colpo d'arma da fuoco proditoriamente esplosogli contro dal ricercato. Fu la sesta ed ultima vittima del Mostro di Merano.
Il giorno successivo all'estremo sacrificio del Maresciallo Guerrino Botte, in un messaggio rivolto al Comandante generale dell'Arma dei carabinieri Luigi Federici, il Presidente del Consiglio Lamberto Dini  espresse «con animo commosso, vivissima costernazione e profondo cordoglio» per il militare «il cui eroico comportamento ha contribuito a porre fine agli allarmanti episodi che hanno profondamente turbato la popolazione del luogo e il Paese tutto»>.

Q: Using an aggregate function in where I saw a few threads here with similar questions however I couldn't find something fitting my needs.
Consider the following table and example data:
CREATE TABLE foo(a int, b int);

INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(1, 3);
INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(1, 3);
INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(1, 4);
INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(2, 5);
INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(2, 3);
INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(3, 10);

Consider this query:
SELECT a,
       sum(b)
FROM foo
GROUP BY a;

It works fine. I want to alter that query so that it will only match groups where the sum is bigger than 9. My (failed) attempt is:
SELECT a,
       SUM(b)
FROM foo
WHERE SUM(b) >9
GROUP BY a;

What is the correct way to do it in postgres ?

A: You can't use aggregate expression in the where clause - this is what the having clause is for:
SELECT   a, SUM(b)
FROM     foo
GROUP BY a
HAVING   SUM(b) > 9

A: try it with the "having" clause!
SELECT a,
   SUM(b) FROM foo
GROUP BY a having sum(b) > 9;

Before Robert Pattinson was romancing Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants or the mysterious Edward Cullen in Twilight, he played a pivotal role in two Harry Potter movies.
Robert played Quidditch captain and Triwizard Tournament contender Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the former in which he comes to an untimely end at the hands of Voldemort. When asked by ET in 2005 about his thoughts of becoming a teen idol, he laughed, "I think about it all the time! No, I don't -- it's impossible to think what it's going to be like, because I've never been hugely popular or anything in my life, so it's going to be weird. I hope I get a bit of an ego afterwards!"

Q: Trying to switch 0 for 1 in the end of the function but it doesnt work i am having problem witht his code.
in the end of the function i am trying to switch 1 for 0 or 0 for 1;
this button should after each click change the words for Hello or stop clicking me;
big thanks in advance
function MediaDropDown()

    if(notClicked>0)
        {
            notClicked=0;
        }
}

A: The notClicked variable is non-persistent; every time you run the MediaDropDown function it is being redefined and set to 1 so you will always see the text "stop clicking".
Move it outside of the function so that it retains its value.
var notClicked=1;

function MediaDropDown()
{
    var hello="hello";
    var stopClicking="Stop Clicking Me";

A: use like this
 var notClicked=1;

 function MediaDropDown()
 {
var hello="hello";
var stopClicking="Stop Clicking Me";

    if(notClicked < 1)
    {
        alert(notClicked);

    }

K. Michelle is still hurt over her failed relationship with Idris Elba and in her defense, we would be too. However, she is being very messy about it on social media. Surprised? Not really.
https://instagram.com/p/742mHjtUZ3/?taken-by=gossipstarr
K's eight month romance with Idris Elba ended when he fathered a baby with another woman. Michelle, who admitted she knew about the woman, broke it off with Idris after realizing she was the side chick.
K used their failed relationship as material for her album Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart. Do you think K should just let it go?
UPDATED 09.25.15:
An email from K. Michelle, that appears to be for Idris Elba has leaked…
Hey Denzel, Guess what?!?
I don't hate you any more. And I don't want to destroy you or the penis that was inside of me. I made a vow to myself that I would never contact you again because I feel as if my friendship was taken for granted but I drank a bottle and honesty is what I am all about tonight. I miss your face in my hot pocket. I don't want to further incriminate you and I know you probably don't trust me but I don't want to further incriminate you.
I don't know if I was in love with you but I feel like you were sent to me to show me that I deserve better than basketball players. More than anytime I miss the encouragement of my friend. Yes, I wrote my album about you but that's what I do but I have to write about the things that affect me because not many things affect me.
I date, I screw, I conquer, I am over it. You inspired and made me to write songs. Sorry if my selfishness and convenience may have affected your family. I questioned myself a million times as to if I was doing the right thing but I felt you never questioned yourself as to if you were doing right by me. I guess I am the story of every angry black woman, but the difference is, I don't want to see you destroyed and through every interview if you noticed, I never wanted to destroy you as a person and a man.

India, a land of rich culture, is the second most populous country of the world. And area wise, it is the seventh largest nation. Our Indian economy has undergone a tremendous change, with the implementation of a series of economic reforms. These reforms focused attention on deregulating the country and inducing foreign investments. Eventually, it paved way for India occupying a position among the top countries in the fast growing Asia Pacific region. The Indian economy is the eleventh largest in the world. Under purchasing power parity (PPP), it is the third largest. Read on to explore further information about the economic conditions in India.
India has the largest democracy in the world and has experienced stability, since its independence. India's political institutions have encouraged the growth of an open society, where people can express themselves freely. It is a true example of a free economy. When the talk is about the economy of India, it can be, undoubtedly, said that it provides complete security to its foreign investors. It promotes a transparent environment that includes a free press and a proper legal and accounting system. India has a competitive and dynamic private sector that forms the backbone of India's economic activities. It also accounts for 57.2% of India's Gross Domestic Product. On the other hand, the industrial and agricultural sectors account for 28.6% and 14.6%, respectively.
With a growth of over 200 times in per capita income from 1947 to 2011, India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The extensive increase in the size of the middle class consumer led to its rapid growth. Currently, India is the nineteenth largest exporter and tenth largest importer in the world. The four factors that contribute to the economic growth of India are: human resources (labor supply, education, discipline, motivation), national resources (land, minerals, fuels, environmental quality), capital formation (machines, factories, roads), and technology (science, engineering, management, entrepreneurship).
India has established itself as one of the most aggressively emerging markets of the world, by harnessing the talent and skills of its managerial and technical manpower. It offers a lot of scope for joint ventures and mergers. Its abundant workforce provides India a competitive edge in the global market. The economy is vast and varied and consists of traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide distinctive range of modern industries, and a large number of support services. The major industries comprise of telecommunications, textiles, chemicals, food processing, steel, transportation equipment, cement, mining, petroleum, machinery, software and pharmaceuticals.
In the recent times, the Indian government has become more liberal and has reduced its control on foreign trade and investment and is heading its way towards privatizing the domestic sector. With investments, business and FDI increasing over the last few years, India is termed among the few most attractive destinations on the global map. The right combination of uptrending consumption, robust job creation, and growing financial penetration, India is urbanizing at a fast pace, thus, establishing itself as a strong nation on economic grounds. The top five vibrant cities for employment and business opportunities are Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai.
Since 1990, the economy of India has witnessed a decent growth rate of 6.5% and has been successful in overcoming poverty by about 10%. The strength of India lies in its vast pool of educated and skilled citizens. But, the weakness of India is the continuing public-sector budget deficit, which is nearly 10% of GDP.

Note: this might be "old hat" to those who've learned Masechet Sukkah.
See TT #20 explaining that anenei kavod are "gidulo min ho'oretz" and its implication for hilchot s'chach.
2. Tosafot are so transparent. Admittedly, some of their pilpul might be "Dochaq" but at least they are transparent about it. There is little in the way of a hidden agenda there.
Take it or leave it, Tosafot usually give you the HOW they get there along with the what.
I recently read this posting about an 18 yr. old contestant on the reality show "America's Next Top Model" who, when first asked, described herself as Modern Orthodox (describing her adherence of Shabbat) but when later told that it would be expected of her to do modeling on the Sabbath, said that she would do so. Her involvement in the show also clearly did not consider the parameters of tzniut.
The question, though, is: what can we draw from this? Is this simply an individual case of another person sadly leaving the world of Orthodoxy? Or is this some type of statement about Modern Orthodoxy itself, especially its educational institutions (she is a graduate of Maimonides High School in Boston)? Or of Orthodoxy and its educational institutions in general? The comments that follow this article give a smattering of how people are viewing this -- from those who declare that it is none of our business to those who see this as a chilul Hashem challenging all of Orthodoxy. Here was a woman who, at first, stated with pride her allegiance to her faith and then dismissed it summarily in favour of trying to win this prize of being a model. How are we to understand this?
I have read many different takes on this but I want to perhaps add a different perspective. My focus is on this woman's understanding of Jewishness -- how does she understand it? What does she believe she is stating about herself when she says that she is a Jew? There are so many different motivations for why one identifies himself/herself as a Jew. There are so many different understandings of what one means when a person states that he/she is a Jew. The result is that there are so many different reasons for why someone performs a mitzvah or a set of mitzvot, even adopts a lifestyle filled with mitzvot. I wonder what this woman believed she was saying about herself when she stated that she was a Jew, a Modern Orthodox Jew. It is in the answer to that question that I think we will find the answer to the questions we may have about this event.
What is this hakpadah re: the walls of the sukkah drifting a bit in the wind?
A Mishnah Sukkah 1:1 teaches us aray, not a firm structure of 20 Amot!
B. Jews lived in ohalim in the wilderness. Did their tent walls not sway a bit in the wind? Isn't the sukkah a commemoration of same?
So what's the big deal if the canvas walls flap a bit - so long as they flap about as much as a typical tent?
My methodology is primarily based upon Beth Yosef and Rema - namely by surveying posqim and coming up with a consensus. R Ovadiah Yosef also employs this at times.
See Sefer HaHinuch 78 on Acharei Rabbim l'Hatot.
Halachah through last Beit Din Hagdol in the Lishkah is axiomatic - equivalent of Halalach L'Moseh miSinai. If they had authored a mishnah it would have become THE authority.
The problem? They didn't and so all Oral Law is an approximation.
• Oral Traditions such as mimetics etc.
AIUI, even RZ Frankel was also saying that Catholic Israel can vote on which Minhaggim to perpetuate and which ones fall into disuse. But not to vote on Core Halachah. I have not yet finalized this.
•. Halachah flows and meanders like a river. It is not as rigid as a railroad track, nor as amorphous as gaseous air. It has boundaries and it flows. One does not reach back 1000 years are restore a norm from then and ignore subsequent development.
Imagine North American Football devolving back to Rubgy without a forward pass!
"Echoes of a Shofar" - "Eyewitness 1948"
«"Echoes of a Shofar" is the premiere episode in the "Eyewitness 1948" short film series produced by Toldot Yisrael and the History Channel. It is the centerpiece of an educational pilot program being developed with The iCenter and made possible through the generous support of the Jim Joseph Foundation.
Despite this restriction, for the next seventeen years, the shofar was sounded at the Kotel every Yom Kippur.
Shofars were smuggled in to the Kotel where brave teenagers defiantly blew them at the conclusion of the fast. Some managed to get away - others were captured and sent to jail for up to six months.
Great Blogs discuss IDEAS. Average Blogs discuss EVENTS. Petty Blogs discuss PEOPLE.
A great blog will discuss ideas and philosophy.
Small minded ones will discuss people, occasionally to praise of their "icons", but too often to do character assassination.
A Jewish Blog Praising someone is probably small-minded, but when attacking or name-calling - then it's probably downright evil.
What about in our own lives?
C. People, keeping up with the "Joneses" or what have you?
It's a given that the Mishnah Brurah has always printed along with the Ba'er Hetev.
What puzzles me is that the MB often quotes the Ba'er Hetev verbatim - and w/o any citation!
Mah nafshach! If the MB assumes one has no access to the BH and therefore quoted it, then why did he print it on the page?!
And given that the BH IS printed on the page, why bother to repeat it? Why not just cite "ayein Ba'er Hetev"?
And given that the MB does reproduce the BH, why no mention of it as his source?
"Let women sing at Wailing Wall"
Now, of course, one would say that it is obvious that I, as an Orthodox rabbi, would have difficulties with this article -- yet, doesn't it just express the basic sentiment of freedom of (and from) religion, just as the author herself concludes this article? But maybe it is time to read between the lines -- and recognize that there is much more going on in this article than just a simple battle across religious lines. The article reflects an obscurantism that is rampant in the Jewish world -- an obscurantism that is even promoted in the Jewish world -- in order to maintain the status quo: a Jewish world that makes no sense but is maintained because it allows people to promote whatever they want as Jewishness.
What exactly was this woman's argument? Was it that the Kotel is also a secular/historical site and that, as such, it should not be solely defined as a religious site, thus being subject to religious restrictions? Or was it that, in recognition that Judaism has many different branches, each one seeing the Kotel as their holiest site, all the branches of Judaism should have equal determination as to the religious practice at the Kotel (l'havdel, to be approached in the same manner as the Ma'arat Hamachpeila which had to accommodate different religious practices)? This woman included both questions and neither question in her article. The reason is that either question would actually challenge her perception of Jewishness. If she argues from the viewpoint of different religious perspectives, she would have to deal with the reality of theological distinctions within the generic perception of Judaism; her and the charedim at the Wall are thus not just in disagreement on some practice or ritual but in regard to the basic tenets of the faith. She doesn't want to go there. When she argues from the secular perspective, though, eventually her own religious desires become challenged; she, in the end, effectively wants to pray there. Thus put together an article that ultimately makes no sense -- I want the Wall to be seen as secular so I can use it religiously as I see fit. Welcome to the Kotel -- the holiest, adamantly secular site in the Jewish world.
"However, it is the ultra-Orthodox and Haredi Jews who have turned this ancient attraction into their home." Yes, they have -- because it is their home. The Kotel is not an ancient attraction to them. It is part of their daily life. For many, it is the place they attend, at least twice a day, to daven. It is their life. And that is not something new; this is the way it was until Jordan did not allow access for 19 years.
What, as she terms them, the charedim are doing is simply what has happened at the Kotel for close to 2000 years. But let's stop all that -- because some tourist wants a better photo opportunity. (Okay, that may be a low blow). The fact is that the Kotel is more than a historical relic; it is history itself. It should be respected on this level as well.
At present, the argument that one should be allowed to express one's religious beliefs on this matter still carries some weight. My concern in to the future are the voices that I am already hearing comparing Orthodox Jewish and similar religious views regarding homosexuality to the Southern Baptist position, before the Civil War, regarding slavery and the Dutch Reform Church's support of apartheid. The argument is that religion can justify racism and so it cannot have voice. The challenge is to ensure that this weak and false comparison never gains strength.
Originally published 9/8/10, 12:44 pm. Link to editorial no longer works.
When I was a college student, I was often asked if I was a feminist. A fan of Barbie dolls, Louisa May Alcott novels, sewing, and romantic films, I always hesitated before answering the question. After a short while, I came up with the following answer – one that I feel still describes my views quite accurately. Am I a feminist? No, I am not – if being a feminist means that I think women are superior and/or the same as men. However, I majored in mathematics in college and I am now a lawyer – if not for feminists who came before me, both fields would have been closed to me. So, yes, I am a feminist in the sense that I believe there is a role for women in this world beyond the realm of motherhood and away from hearth and home. I am a feminist in that I believe women should be treated with respect – not because they are fragile precious creatures but because they are intelligent human beings. I am a feminist in the way I believe I am obligated to be, by virtue of my dedication to Torah Judaism. I am a feminist because Gd gave both men and women a duty at Sinai – the duty to serve Him, to uphold and glorify His system, to better this world and ourselves – and I will not allow negative external influences or fear of change to keep me and my feminine brethren from fulfilling this mission.
So, with this in mind, how do I feel about the recent conversation surrounding women leading Kabbalat Shabbat? (see Rabbi Broyde's comments and a Jewish Week editorial in response.) I am appalled and offended. I am saddened and frustrated. I am naively shocked that, once again, women and men are seriously turning an important matter into a Hallmark film. As Rabbi Broyde so succinctly elucidated in his response – Kabbalat Shabbat is a customary prayer, a relatively minor act among the many components that make up the commandment to pray. And prayer itself is only one small part of our service of Gd – an important part, a crucial part, a spiritually pleasing part for some – but it is not the focal point of our Faith. The exaggerated communal place of the synagogue in present-day Judaism is a blatant mimicry of the Christian church. We do not need a church; we have the beit medrash, we have the home, we have the heart and soul of every Jew. Those are our religious centers. The synagogue, notwithstanding its undeniable sacred significance, is, at its core, intended to be a practical place – a room wherein ten men join together so they can pray.
If you ask me, the problem isn't that women don't feel good about themselves spiritually because they're relegated to a back seat in the synagogue – the problem is that men do feel good about themselves spiritually because they occupy the front seat. A twisted priority isn't made right by bending it further in the wrong direction. I pray to Gd from behind the mechitza and thus fulfill the commandment I have regarding prayer; I should feel equally satisfied from that as a man should feel when he prays at the bima. We are both serving Gd as He commands us to – we've just done it differently. And, yes, while it is true that leading communal prayer is an honor and is an honor that women are denied – the answer is not to find some loophole by which women can feel "a part of it". For some reason Gd does not make this particular honor accessible to women – He must have a reason for it. Let us struggle with that. Let us examine what Gd wants of women and figure out from there what women should be. Let us not find superficial ways to allow women to practice Judaism like a man. If Gd wanted me to serve Him like my brothers do, He would have made me differently. Speaking of prayer, I thank Him every day for making me according to His Will – shouldn't I honor that prayer by trying to be a Jew according to that Will?
I don't begrudge those who want to experience a feeling of spirituality – it's quite a feeling and Gd has, thankfully, filled the world with many things that can set the soul on fire. It's why some do yoga while others listen to rock and roll; it fuels love of opera and love of nature. It is a wonderfully intoxicating existential state. And, if harnessed properly, it can even be a positive influence on one's relationship with Gd and His world. But it should never be the driving force behind one's religious observance. We serve Gd because we said we would, because every day we say we will – regardless of how it feels.
So, thank you so much Rabbi Weiss – you've given me a chance to further actualize my "spirituality"? How sweet. But, no, thank you. I'd rather you give me Judaism as Gd intended. Give me a place among my people that allows me to fulfill my purpose before our Gd. Don't placate me with hand-outs that only perpetuate a faulty understanding of the role of prayer. And the role of women. And the role of men. And, truth be told, the role of Judaism.
I don't ascribe to this religion for a spiritual high; I ascribe to it because I believe it is the Truth. And that Truth doesn't much care who leads Kabbalat Shabbat. So why should I?
Bottom line - what should we do?
If you want a good shiur on a Blatt g'mara go to a Rosh Yeshiva. If you need a sheilah pasqened - go to a Poseiq. Sometimes they will be one and the same person. Often they will NOT be.
B"H, my in-laws have the luxury of a Rav who is also a rebbe in a Yeshiva, and a big lamdan. They have the best of both worlds and can conveniently do "one-stop" shopping.
Consider my advice to not necessarily turn to one's favourite rebbe to answer a Sheilah. Rather - consider a Poseiq, a Dayan, etc.
For looking up Halachah, think the same way.
Shulchan Aruch and Rema were world class posqim. They might make a better model then a lamdusher sefer written by a teacher.
Consider S'farim such as Beth Yosef and Aruch Hashulchan.
Kitzur Hilchot Shabbat was written for Beis Yaakov High School students. But its the author was a world-class Dayan in Washington Heights [Rav Posen].
If you want to STUDY halachah, a pedagogue may teach you better. If you want to DECIDE halachah the decisive choice ought to be a decider.
E.G., IMHO The Tur teaches the Halachah more clearly than the SA-Rema. But the SA-Rema is more decisive, because the Tur is very subtle and does not push any single Sheetah.
In my dreams - If I had a Billion Dollars, I'd start an Institute for Practical Halachah. I would cover Halachah p'suqah across the spectrum of the 4 Turim plus.
Meanwhile what to do with the existing Educational Structure?
Shimush! Shimush, and More Shimush!
Next stop - whom does one consult?
And some "Roshei Yeshiva" make great Posqim - R Moshe Heinemann comes to mind. So "switch hitters" do exist!
L'havdil - Just as some Physicists might make great Engineers and vice versa, but this is rare in my experience. Theoreticians rarely bridge that gap. EG was Einstein involved in the Manhattan Project?
Yet R Chaim Brisker has been reported to turn to R Elchanan Spektor to pasqen a touchy Get issue.
So we Get the pattern clearly now.

Actually - what's in a name?! After all can't both Centrist Orthodoxy AND Modern Orthodoxy be used interchangeably?
Centrist to me implies more - a "modern thinker" combined with Traditional Observance.
Unfortunately for me, the current crop of Open-Minded Orthodox have used this as a license to revise traditional practice. And indeed, I must therefore truly consider that this is an inherent danger in that enterprise.
Perhaps only R Azriel Hidesheimer and his followers were the one school that could pull off a completely Traditional Observance while tackling such controversial issues such as Biblical Criticism. Even R Hirsch himself was suspicious of pulling this off.
The JTS's - both in Breslau and in NYC, have imho used modern scholarship to compromise Traditional Observance by implementing a Liberalization of Observance. Success in textual criticism has succeeded there at the expense of Piety.
And thus We bear witness - through the prism of History - that this has taken them off-the-derech.
The question remains, CAN we have an open-mindedness without compromising our fealty to Halachah, without fostering a campaign to Revise or Reform "orthodoxy"
It's tricky. I have not seen it done on a large scale. Maybe the nature of Open-mindedness - especially in North America - will inevitably undermine strict Observance. And Only in a more rigidified society like 19th Century Germany, such open-mindedness did not succeed in tempting the highly Traditional types to sway.
And what we call this movement? Pious Modernists? Critical Traditionalists?
What is the value of a pact without any commitment?
In the next few days, we will be witnesses again to another round of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians -- but what is the point of this discussion, any discussion, if negotiators at the table cannot deliver on their commitment? Is this not the situation with the Arabs?

Rochester police respond for shots fired, find woman's body inside Fourth Street home
Will Cleveland
Democrat and Chronicle
Rochester police are investigating the suspicious unattended death of a woman on the city's northeast side Thursday.
Officers responded to the 200 block of Fourth Street, between Central Park and Pennsylvania Avenue, shortly after 7 p.m. for the report of shots fired, Capt. Michael Callari of the Rochester Police Department said.
Officers located a woman inside a home there and she was pronounced dead by first responders from American Medical Response.
Callari decline to reveal the woman's injuries and wouldn't specify if she had been shot. The woman's identity wasn't released. Callari also wouldn't say if officers found evidence of shots fired at the scene.
"We're looking into the circumstances of her death," Callari said. "The medical examiner will determine cause of death at a point later in time."
No suspects are in custody and the investigation is ongoing.
"It's going to be a while before, one, the medical examiner determines the cause of death; two, a positive identification; and then three, to notify the family," Callari said.
Both investigators and technicians were on scene. The department brought in its mobile command unit and parked it in front of the home.
"Fourth Street will be closed between Pennsylvania Avenue and Central Park for several hours while we conduct our investigation," Callari said.
Anyone with information about the woman's death is asked to call 911.
