Voter Information for Upcoming November 5th Elections

4 Comments

American FlagLocal and County elections are coming up and people should plan to vote!  Local elections touch our lives in ways up close and personal and are in some ways more important than national elections for that reason and also in a smaller pool we have a bigger splash.

Major issues this time around include the election of Cleveland Heights City Council members, CH-UH School Board Members (remember Milikin!?), hotly contested mayoral and council elections in Beachwood, as well as several significant tax levies including Issue 81 providing for a $135 million dollar levy to support CH-UH public schools building renovation to the tune of an additional $200 annually per $100k home value, as well as levies for the Metroparks and Cuyahoga Health and Human Services.

Are you too busy to vote on issues that will dramatically affect local life and might cost you an additional $300 or more per year?!

Attention married Clevelanders – can I have your attention for a minute?

Chuppah(Submitted)

As a Sofer, I write Gittin for local Rabbonim, and lately I have been writing far too many. I see the issues that are brought in, and I thought to myself that many of the issues could have been easily settled such that a get probably would not have been needed. In an effort to be of help to stem this budding epidemic, I became a professionally trained certified marriage counselor, to complement my previous coaching of couples on a simple level. What I learned was so amazing that I would like to share it with everyone and arrange a workshop with professionals from Cleveland and beyond to address the community. I would like to know how many people in Cleveland would be interested in a marriage upkeep workshop.

The Severance Circle Walmart Store will be closing October 15th at 5pm and the new Oakwood Commons Super Walmart is set to open the next morning, October 16th at 9am. Already the old Walmart is very low on stock and whole sections are already empty.

In case you are really excited and think the new one will be “Super,” the same old management and staff from the Severance location will be moving over so expect stocking, hygiene, and other woes to return. So enjoy shopping there if you have to :> Why the sad take on a new investment in the Heights area? Consider your own Walmart mal-experiences for starters or if you want something more “official,” Start here >>

High Quality Torahs For Sale

According to the Shulchan Aruch every man has an obligation to write a Sefer Torah in his lifetime. Up until now this goal was unattainable to most due to cost and distance. But now the world is smaller, Sofer services can be found for more reasonable prices, and you have an agent on the ground in Israel to help make it happen at no extra charge to you.

“Phil Fink’s Shalom America” will be streamed online beginning Sunday

Leave a Comment

FinkShalomAmericaIn response to numerous requests from listeners, would‐be listeners, and former listeners, “Phil Fink’s Shalom America” will be streamed online beginning Sunday October 13 from 7‐9 am via Olam Broadcasting’s Radio‐J (http://Radio‐J.com). Licensing requirements had previously prevented the program aired weekly on WELW 1330 am from being streamed on that station’s website, but program host Phi Fink had been searching for a solution that would increase the program’s reach beyond WELW’s limited coverage area throughout northeast Ohio, and offer it to the many former‐ Clevelanders now living in Israel who have requested online listening access to the  program over the years.

Watch your kosher birds!

2 Comments

(Ed: Source: ThePoultrySite on October 8, 2013. This is quite timely as there have been several stories of late about E. Coli in chickens. Cooking the chicken so that the internal temperature reaches 165° F. will kill the bacteria in the chicken.)

A study at Northern Arizona University (NAU) and four other institutions found antibiotic resistant E. coli in chickens from a range of production methods, but the greatest amount was found in kosher chickens. “Kosher chickens carried the greatest amount of antibiotic-resistant E. coli, while organic chicken showed antibiotic-resistant bacteria levels just as high as conventional chicken. Only chickens ‘raised without antibiotics’ (RWA) came in with reduced but still contaminated, levels of the E. coli ‘superbug”. “The chicken researchers are from the Horace Mann Bronx Campus, Translational Genomics Research Institute of Flagstaff, NAU and George Washington University in Washington DC. Dr Bruce Hungate, director of the Ecosystem Science and Society Center, and NAU professor of biology, headed the team. The research was funded by the Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research and the Ecosystem Science and Society Center, both at NAU.”
The researchers purchased 213 samples of raw chicken from 15 locations in the New York City metropolitan area from April to June, 2012. “The study found that strains of E. coli isolated from samples in the RWA category tended to be resistant to fewer drugs ‘but the difference was not significant versus conventional and organic, which did not differ from each other’ “.
