CHANGE OF CONTACT INFORMATION FOR WENDELL ROBINSON

Our friend Wendell Robinson has a new business identity and contact info, as noted below. Wendell first met us through an interview for Meet.The.Bloggers when he ran against Jimmy Duh for county commissioner. Wendell was right in a lot of ways, and he ran a good blog.

 

Beyond the global nature of the medium, the blogging connection has also been local for me.  Without the encouragement and support of my friends in the Meet the Bloggers network, I would never have conquered the code and process that makes blogging a great people-powered platform (by the way if you haven’t done it, you really should scroll down the list of podcasts over at the MTB site - it’s a monument for what a REAL oral history is all about).  I would be remiss when writing about local bloggers if I didn’t single out the blogopimp of Northeast Ohio, George Nemeth, and his place over at Brewed Fresh Daily.  George has been brewing up a fine pot over the last few years and without his incessant percolation, this page would have been significantly less.

WENDELL HAS A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER AND... A NEW VENTURE Dear Tim - I hope this email finds you well as I prepare to take a new and substantial step in my professional life. You may know I have devoted the majority of my work time the last two years to a partnership with Bobby George and Chris Cole in helping them develop the sports marketing and management firm - ColeGeorge Sports. As last year came to a close, it became apparent that our team was heading in separate directions (Bobby actively building his restaurant group, Chris doing more direct work with college programs and me focusing on political projects, event management and marketing activities). While our organization made some strides (working with athletes like Brady Quinn, Braylon Edwards and Troy Smith has been an unbelievable experience), I felt the time had come for me to leave the company's Managing Partner role and pursue opportunities more in congruence with my goals and interests. And while I will not be working with Bobby or Chris directly in the immediate future, I will continue in a project management capacity with one of the George family's other entities on a political project. The result of this transition is the formation of my new firm - The Victory Box, LLC. Even though The Victory Box is a new venture, in many ways it will be an extension of the work I've been doing for the last few years - focusing on the needs of our clients to help them maximize their success. Please do not hesitate to contact me (as you will see I've got a new phone number and email address) should you have any questions, comments or simply want to re-connect. I look forward to speaking with you in the near future. Cheers, Wendell Wendell W.

2 years later, & now comes the full disclosure: "Med mart bonds cost millions more with private company"

We didn't talk about this during the Put It On The Ballot campaign nearly two years ago, and the sales tax increases sailed through in time to help the county balance the books at the end of 2007. We have the Greater Cleveland Partnership with Nancy Lesic and her airplane, Fred Nance and his firm SSD, and pre-FBI-investigation county commissioners for that one.

Now, after having tried to collect his firm's fees from the county instead of from the GCP, Vornado, or the Kennedy family's company, here's Fred again, innumerate as ever, claiming that the $75,000,000 premium we will be paying is "well worth it."

We are paying for some really bad help here. Is it time to pull the plug on this before it gets worse?

FW: About Cleveland: How to Get Tickets for the Rock Hall Ceremony

Sandy Mitchell sent us this email about how to personally benefit from the $1,000,000.00 our elected help at Cleveland City Council gave the Rock Hall to have the dinner in Cleveland this year. How much is that a plate?

If you have any ideas about how we can get our money back, so that the city and the schools and the library can pay their bills to people who have already done work for them, post them here.

I understand that our local government entities are stiffing more businesspeople than usual, and for more protracted periods. If my information is inaccurate, then all the entities have to do is show us their payables, and I'll stand corrected.

Drunken man crawls into wrong bed in Sheffield Lake - Metro - Cleveland.com

Sheffield Lake Police--Buck Walls

SHEFFIELD LAKE -- Who's that sleeping in my bed?
Michael Johnson was surprised when he woke up on Saturday and found a drunken man sleeping in his waterbed beside him.
Johnson said that the man was not there when he went to bed and that he had never seen him before.
Police were called, and Buck Walls, 29, who lives in the same city but in a different house, was arrested on a charge of burglary. Police said Walls had been so drunk that he walked into the wrong house and climbed into the wrong bed.
Capt. Tony Campo said when Walls awakened, he refused to leave the house, saying he knew the owner.
According to the police report, Walls was still drunk when police arrived.
"He had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath," the report said. "He was swaying back and forth and had great difficulty maintaining his balance."
A short time after police placed him in a holding cell, Walls' mother called the station to report her son missing after a night of drinking.
Campo said he had never seen anything like it.
Walls lived on the south side of the city, while he was found in a house by the lake.

This reminds me of a story that happened to my neighbor. She forgot to lock her front window for the night and went to bed. She awoke to find a man sleeping on her couch, freaked out, ran out of the house and called police from a neighbor. The police arrived, woke up the man (drunk as a skunk), took him to jail and so forth. Come to find out he was a brother of a neighbor and was visiting from out of town. In his drunken state, he thought he was at his brother's house, could not get in the door with his key and found the open window, crawled in and fell asleep on the couch.

I don't know what if anything happened to the drunk, but would bet my bottom dollar all her windows stay locked now.

Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist: Everybody's Church, tonight at 9 on channel 25

My family, the Ferrises and the Michaels, worked on the renovation of this city's Roman Catholic cathedral back when they were Presbyterians, after the war, the Second World War. My dad was an apprentice carpenter there. My Uncle Hugh fell through the roof and lived. Gloria and I now attend there because we're comfortable, wrapped in tradition and good architecture, trying to figure out where Uncle Hugh came through. Under the direction of Bishop Lennon and Father Estok, there are new and interesting things happening there these past few years.

Monday, February 16 at 9:00 PM

This documentary examines the history and role the Cathedral has played for nearly 160 years in Cleveland. The program highlights the beautiful cathedral building in which Clevelanders celebrate the Eucharist and worship – the Cathedral parish, everybody’s church. In beautiful detail, this program captures and recounts these historic events and the life of the Cathedral today, providing a magnificent archive for the generations to come. The Cathedral today is a vibrant and enthusiastic institution, community, and ministry at the heart of Northeast Ohio’s religious, civic, financial, and social crossroads.

Senator says HUD contributes to Cleveland blight - New Philadelphia, OH - The Times-Reporter

George Voinovich once again is half right: HUD has contributed to the residential-housing mess in Cleveland. However, demolition is not a cost-effective solution; it merely compounds the wasting of assets. Here's the short article, from downstate:

Associated Press

Posted Feb 06, 2009 @ 07:46 AM

---

CLEVELAND —

U.S. Sen. George Voinovich is demanding that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development do more to address blighted properties in Cleveland.

Voinovich wants the federal agency to begin demolishing rundown houses instead of selling them to speculators who do little to improve their condition.

Voinovich says in a letter to newly confirmed HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan that HUD should be a partner in the city's recovery, not a contributor to the city's blight problem.

Elected officials and housing activists have long complained that HUD ignores offers by Cleveland community groups to buy homes for rehabilitation.

A HUD spokesman says the agency will analyze all HUD-foreclosed properties in the area and get back to Voinovich quickly.

Jeff Schuler must have tweaked RealNEO's Drupal platform somehow, because this is the first time I have been able to post to my blog on RealNEO using Windows Live Writer (shall we call this "WLW"?). WLW is available at no charge and makes cross-posting to various blogs with varied readership possible. This post, for instance, because it's instructive, will be posted over at Tim Ferris, at ACT III, at Save Our Land, and at Brooklyn Centre National Wildlife Community.

So once again, thanks, Jeff Schuler.

empirical evidence viewed as breakthrough on 'broken windows' theory

I began thinking about and dealing with the urban situation in Worcester and then in Boston in the late 1960s.  Here's research done by people at Harvard and at Suffolk that "is seen as strong scientific evidence that the long-debated "broken windows" theory really works - that disorderly conditions breed bad behavior, and that fixing them can help prevent crime."

"In traditional policing, you went from call to call, and that was it - you're chasing your tail," said Lowell patrol officer Karen Witts on a recent drive past a boarded up house that was once a bullet-pocked trouble spot. Now, she says, there appears to be a solid basis for a policing strategy that preemptively addresses the conditions that promote crime.

Many police departments across the country already use elements of the broken windows theory, or focus on crime hot spots. The Lowell experiment offers guidance on what seems to work best. Cleaning up the physical environment was very effective; misdemeanor arrests less so, and boosting social services had no apparent impact.

Such evidence-based policing is essential, argues David Weisburd, a professor of administration of justice at George Mason University. "We demand it in fields like medicine," Weisburd said. "It seems to me with all the money we spend on policing, we better be able to see whether the programs have the effects we intend them to have."

And this particular study, he said, is "elegant" in how clearly it demonstrated crime prevention benefits.

The broken windows theory was first put forth in a 1982 Atlantic article by James Q. Wilson, a political scientist then at Harvard, and George L. Kelling, a criminologist. The theory suggests that a disorderly environment sends a message that no one is in charge, thus increasing fear, weakening community controls, and inviting criminal behavior. It further maintains that stopping minor offenses and restoring greater order can prevent serious crime.

That theory has been hotly debated even as it has been widely deployed.

It's good to note that all of this was accomplished without massive demolition or offering the obscenity of selective tax abatement. We must remember that safety is the keystone of urban replanning and redevelopment--we live on top of a goldmine, a wealth of built heritage, and all we have to do is stabilize it and restore it. It does not take banks, developers, and community development corporations; it takes uncompromised safety forces, a sense of values among the residents, and hard work. It's actually fairly simple.

erasaing the digital divide, playing in Cleveland February 13th

Our friend Hershel Daniels down in Cincinnati left this tidbit for us on Facebook, and I thought I share here to give it some advance notice:

"At the Cleveland National Capacity Building Symposium we will talk about broadband and our ability to implement a best practices methodology that creates a means to erase the digital divide in the America's, Africa and Asia - from a Ohio based headquarters.

Technology Theme: Enforcement and Regulation of Broadband: A history and a future

"We will propose a National Building Program for broadband that can be implemented over the next 18 months, if we act wisely, in unity, within a regulatory environment that follows the letter, as well as the spirit, of the law where we [through the digital universe as Americans] will oversee the peoples government [at all levels] investment in its people, fairly based on successes and failures as we erase the digital divide."

This symposium is to be held at the Louis Stokes Telecommunications Center at the Cuyahoga Community College main campus on 13 Feb. 2009. Drop by and or send us your policy and or technical paper on broadband in America."

Conference on the Community Reinvestment Act, February 6th, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Gloria and I are registered for this and plan to attend. Will any of you be joining us? As of Wednesday, the 4th, we understand that the registration process is closed.

We received this from our friends in Cincinnati last week:

February 6, 2009 Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

The Community Reinvestment Act has come under increasing scrutiny as a result of the nation's subprime lending and foreclosure crises. What role, if any, did the landmark legislation play in the demise of the nation's financial services industry? How should policymakers modify the CRA to ensure it meets the credit needs of low- and moderate-income individuals going forward?

This one-day conference includes presentations and discussions on the CRA that are aimed at facilitating an exchange of research-informed perspectives on the role of the Community Reinvestment Act in delivering financial services to individuals in low- and moderate-income communities. The conference is part of the Cleveland Fed's ongoing efforts to facilitate and help inform high-level discussions on proposed regulatory reform—in this instance, the regulation of financial services available to low- and moderate-income individuals.

National Fairness Campaign Blog: good work, looking forward to more

There was an event that happened down in Cincinnati yesterday afternoon that I think is seminal. Follow the link below to my comment on The National Fairness Campaign Blog.

Now this is an even better reason to convene a dialogue, and to put it on a tour bus for a few days with blogger support. This group wants to take it to Washington to begin the third attempt at Reconstruction, and this time, it's not all about race.
