IndustryPETER GRIESINGER WRITES CLEVELAND COUNCIL RE: AMP COAL PLANSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 14:30.
Dear Cleveland City Council Members:
This is an urgent plea to exercise your right to cancel the 50 YEAR obligation by Cleveland Public Power to purchase 100MW of electricity from American Municipal Power’s proposed $3.4 billion power plant in Meigs County, OH.
AMP OHIO NEGOTIATES IN BAD FAITH WITH CLEVELANDSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 02/23/2008 - 16:24.
Committing to American Municipal Power's proposed Meigs County pulverized coal generator for 50 years is a death trap for the City of Cleveland - and AMP knows it. Attending the Cleveland City Council subcommittee on CPP all day yesterday brought things to my mind that wouldn’t have aligned in my head if I hadn’t sat and listened to the back and forth for hours. AMP OHIO is negotiating with Cleveland in BAD FAITH.

FROZEN PIPES BREAKING ALL OVER NORTH EAST OHIOSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 02/07/2008 - 16:05.
When you don't have the money to keep the heat on, and it gets cold, the pipes freeze.
And break. Then when it warms up like it did over the past two days, the pipes thaw out. And water floods everything. And when the building is filled up, the water pours out under the doors and into the street - just like it is doing at Sweet Daddy's.
Cleveland+Cruelty to AnimalsSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 02/02/2008 - 23:15.
A page 1 article in the February 2, 2008, Cleveland Plain Dealer, "Dogged security guard caused quite the stir", makes light of international concern over a dog photographed sitting alone in the window of an abandoned, boarded-up house in Cleveland, with the caption "Dog Days: Left behind as foreclosure crisis pounds U.S.", which was published in the Toronto Star, leading to local action in Cleveland to rescue the distressed animal, which turned out to be imprisoned by real estate speculators to protect their shit. They don't even own the dog... the article doesn't care who owns the dog... the article is pointless, yet surfaces pathetic flaws in the character of so many in our region.

COFFEE RUN - PORT COLBURNE IN LATE JANUARYSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 23:00.
Having worked in the construction business for years, I got so I could tell when a Diesel was rev'd a little too high. So here I was on the Welland Canal in late January asking - was it the ice breaking that was forcing the revs? - or was it time for a coffee break? It was the Tim Horton's coffee!

BUFFALO, NY SAVES STRUCTURAL SKELETON OF BUILDING SIMILAR TO BREUER'S CLEVELAND AMERITRUST TOWERSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 01/21/2008 - 19:26.
The 15 story Dulski Federal Building in Buffalo, New York is undergoing a down to the steel skeleton re-hab. This building was constructed in the early 1970’s, and besides the time of its construction, shares other similarities with the Breuer designed Ameritrust Tower built in 1971 in Cleveland, Ohio.

WILL MYERS UNIVERSITY BECOME AN F1 VISA FACTORY? WILL “STUDENTS” WORK AT THE CLEVELAND CLINIC?Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 12/24/2007 - 18:06.
On December 14, 2007 Judge Gaul presented University of Northern Virginia LLC’s president, Mr. Ho, to Myers’ students and the media at Myers University in Midtown, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Ho’s English is a bit difficult to follow, but what I made out was that Mr. Ho had in the past been a professor, and he still considers his relationship to the various for profit schools he operates as that of a professor – Mr. Ho is not currently teaching as a professor, but is negotiating the take over of the Myers Board of Trustees. As of December 20 Mr. Ho had appointed eight of his candidates to the “Board” with Judge Gaul’s approval. Mr. Ho (center with glasses), and his associate Mr. Lee (on right with glasses and striped tie) went on to say that it was their intention to expand the student population at Myers by attracting foreign students – with a goal of about 2,500 students.
LONG ROAD TO THE SCRAP MARKET IN CLEVELAND, 0HIOSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 12/23/2007 - 13:28.
I stopped and spoke with these two fellows to check on the current prices paid for scrap steel- a nickel a pound or $100.00 per ton. They were happy to converse, but weren't keen on being photographed up close. Each of their shopping baskets had, I would estimate, between 100lbs and 200lbs of rusty cast iron and steel - a 1 inch diameter steel rod about 3 feet long, a piece of angle iron, what looked like a plate that goes under the rail road rail and through which the RR spikes are hammered, etc. These fellows had been gleaning the fields around the TriC area and were headed on Saturday to the scrap yard at E55th and 490.

10.18.11 Occupy Cleveland needs a permit for Willard Park and for Public Square. Downtown Cleveland Alliance needs access for Xmas decor. Right. Christmas in Cleveland will be hard for many. But some have shelter, colored with red, white, and green. The FREE STAMP is a negative, as is much of Cleveland.

ROLDO BARTIMOLE ON BREWED FRESH DAILY - POSITIVELY CLEVELAND + PLUSSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 12/13/2007 - 15:06.
BREWED FRESH DAILY HAS A THREAD which carries a discussion which I believe it is important for everyone in NEO to read. The thread is especially important now that the City of Cleveland is looking desperately for immediate cash-back from the taxpayers’ UDAG loans.

2007 Cleveland Institute of Art Faculty ShowSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 12/10/2007 - 13:04.
The Cleveland Institute of Art is extraordinarily important to Northeast Ohio and the world for the great artists and designers educated there, and for the great artists and designers who are the educators, and staff. Each year, the work of the diverse CIA faculty is showcased in an exhibition not to be missed... the reception for 2007 was last Friday, December 7, and a great event, as always... perhaps the last ever in the historic Gund Building Reinberger Gallery space, as the CIA moves in total to Euclid Avenue.
