Join Euclid resident Brittainy Quinn in creating a painted mural along Babbitt Road

Earlier this summer a jury of Euclid residents, business representatives, artists and city staff selected Brittainy Quinn’s proposal for a painted mural on one of the concrete retaining walls near the CSX rail bridge along Babbitt Road nearby Amazon.

The proposal was selected through a competitive process in response to a Call for Artists hosted by Arts Cleveland and incorporates positive messaging reflective of the community and Keep Euclid Beautiful’s mission (a committee of the City of Euclid that is organizing the effort). The mural communicates sentiments of peace, unity and beauty and will transform a barren landscape into a colorful gateway into the city’s industrial and innovation corridor.

The mural will be painted by Brittainy and a team of artists, including former students at the Cleveland School of the Arts where Brittainy is an art teacher. The mural will be painted on Saturday and Sunday, September 26th and 27th. One north-bound lane of Babbitt Road will also be closed during the weekend for the safety of the artists painting.

The community (YOU!) will have the ability to contribute to the mural by adding a hand print and participating in a paint-by-numbers-like process similar to the community-painted mural designed by Charley Frances for downtown Euclid in 2018 and also organized by Keep Euclid Beautiful.

Woody Allen Makes Book on a Career and Life

I just finished Woody Allen’s new autobiography, “Apropos of Nothing.” It’s just under 400 pages long and is by turns entertaining and fascinating.  It’s kind of like two books sewn together.  The first half  deals with his upbringing and early career.  Allan Koenigsberg grew up in Brooklyn, New York. At age 16 he was writing one liners for Broadway columnists of the day and making more money than his parents combined. Granted his dad was a cab driver and waiter who blew his meager earnings betting on sports. Still $40 a week was a tidy sum in those days.

His elementary school teachers recommended him for a gifted program at Hunter College but the long subway ride proved too inconvenient for his mother and aunts.

He remained in P.S. 99 which he described as “a school for backwards teachers.”

While the book is funny it is not a gag fest.  It’s more like a long conversation with a familiar friend if you have followed his films over the years.  After making 51 movies, starring in many of them, his record is hit and miss. I consider myself a fan and when looking at the list realize I haven’t seen half of them.

What’s clear from the book he is a natural-born work horse.  Dianne Keaton has been quoted as saying she’s never met anyone more disciplined.  At 85 he has the same routine: breakfast and then writing long hand on yellow legal pad for hours.  A break for lunch and then more writing. He writes into the night or until the basketball game comes on. He is season ticket holder for the Knick’s I assume.

“Faith in the City, Seeking to Do Good in the City of Euclid and Beyond…”

On Friday, August 21st, 2020, Faith in the City, in collaboration with Euclid City Hall, MetroHealth Medical Center and Cuyahoga County Board of Health, offered free COVID-19 testing to the City of Euclid and beyond. Individuals desiring to be tested did not need to have a prescription or specific symptoms. The only requirement was that they pre-register.

The testing was offered in a “drive-thru” fashion as well as “walk-ups.” Packets containing masks, hand-sanitizers, gloves, voter registration and census information were also distributed. Many have been concerned that Cuyahoga County was without testing for months, despite the fact that the County was given the 2nd highest level alert for the virus. In an effort to address this concern in the City of Euclid, Faith in the City worked diligently to collaborate with partners to offer testing to our residents and surrounding areas. In keeping with the scriptural guidance to “do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God,” (Micah 6:8) Faith in the City strives to be a blessing, promoting the “beloved community” concept. We do so through addressing social justice matters such as food insecurity, voter suppression, education, health care disparities, and issues concerning brutality and law enforcement in communities of color.  We were honored and surprised when we received a letter of commendation from The Ohio House of Representatives, presented by Representative Kent Smith, of the 8th District! Faith in the City is a religious organization comprised of churches, clergy and faith leaders across the Greater Euclid area.

2020 Census Completion Deadline Is Now Sept 30th

U.S. Census Bureau recently announced
that the deadline for 2020 Census completion
is now September 30th, 2020. The
change moves the Census completion
deadline UP from October 31st, a full thirty-
one days sooner. It is now more urgent
than ever to talk with your friends, neighbors
and families about the importance of
taking the Census.
The Census counts every person living in
the United States and five U.S. territories.
The Census occurs once every 10 years and
determines how billions of federal dollars
are allocated to communities that US citizens
directly and indirectly benefit from,
such as funding for schools, roads and infrastructure.
Response rates for the City of Euclid, as of August 30, 2020,
currently stand at 61%. We would like to encourage
our entire community to talk with your
neighbors, friends and family members
about the many ways you can respond to
the Census and even assist those who need
help doing so.
You can take the Census online by visiting
https://2020census.gov/en.html from
your smartphone or desktop. The site does
not save your data, so it is safe and private
to assist others in taking the Census this
way.
You can also take the Census over the
phone by calling 844-330-2020. Share this
phone number with those who do not have
internet access or who are uncomfortable
with taking the Census online.
Finally, the Census can be completed
by mail. The U.S. Census Bureau mailed
paper questionnaires to homes mid-April
with instructions on how to respond. If you
have lost or misplaced your questionnaire,
please respond to the Census online or by
phone with the number above.

The Year of the Mask

I’ve got masks on the brain.  Actually my mask is technically on my face when I’m out in public. But surely the 2020 will come to be known as The Year of the Mask.

It’s been interesting to witness the rise of mask usage go from some people, to half the people to all the people I see on my daily trip to the grocery store.

A rapidly climbing death toll of 140,000 souls has a way of getting certain people’s attention. By certain people I mean everyone. Masks are now our way of life.  The new normal as some folks call it.  But it’s true.  The big question is for how long.  Forever?  Maybe?

With nowhere to go and nothing to do under quarrantine  I’ve been thinking a lot about where and when masks have intersected with my life.

 I have a black and white photo of me and my little sister Patty on Halloween.  I was around ten years old.  She’s dressed as Little Red Riding Hood.  I was Belfry the Bat in a plastic mask.  It was a kind of scary, but not really. It was a cheap, costume my mom bought at Zayres or Uncle Bill’s. I remember not being able to breathe real well in that thing and having a sweaty face.  That might have been my first mask.

City Council Sets Goals for 2020 -2021

At the July 20, 2020 Euclid City Council meeting, Council passed Resolution 070-20 approving the City Council Goals for the 2020-2021 term.  As Council had done previously for the 2018-2019 term, Council members have come together to try to proactively address issues, ideas, and projects that have been publically presented and discussed at Council meetings, Committee meetings, Community meetings and/or at Work sessions.  While there will still be individual projects that each Council member may work on, this Council has proactively agreed to prioritize the ones listed in the 10 areas outlined.  For many areas there are quantitative measures put in place so goals are measurable.

When a City Council can focus on community based priorities, there will undoubtedly be cost savings, better resource allocation, more informed resident participation, and a more unified and directed strategy focused on issues that impact the Community. While we usually present the Council Goals in March, this year Healthcare priorities took center stage.  However, this City Council will continue to collaborate with the Administration to accomplish the Council Goals in a timely and measured manner.

Respectfully,

Charlene Mancuso

Euclid City Council President

More than Just a Moment

George Floyd.

For eight minutes and forty-six seconds, bodies of protesters lay face down in the grass with their hands behind their backs. It was silent except for the cries of a small child calling “mommy, mommy,” not understanding why his momma, attentive just moments before, was now lying on the ground in front of Euclid Library, seemingly unresponsive.

The knee of police officer Derek Chauvin pressed upon the neck of George Floyd for eight minutes and forty-six seconds, slowly suffocating him as George called out for his own momma.

Breonna Taylor.

The crowd of protesters chanted the name of Breonna Taylor twenty-seven times to recognize the twenty-seventh birthday that she was not alive to celebrate. As she slept, officers entered her home unannounced, using a “no-knock” warrant. Despite the fact that the actual suspects for whom they were searching were already in custody, they shot Breonna eight times.

George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. For them, and for countless others, Faith in the City, an organization commissioned to unite churches from all denominations, joined global protests this past Thursday, June 11, orchestrating the Rally for Change for the City of Euclid. Religious and community leaders began the rally by guiding protestors down 222nd Street. With lifted fists and raised signs, protestors shouted “Black Lives Matter!”

The vivid juxtaposition of Euclid police officers blocking traffic to protect the lives of demonstrators was clear to everyone present.

Pandemic Blues

“Well we’re big rock singers

We’ve got golden fingers

And we love everywhere we go”

 “The Cover of the Rolling Stone”-Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show

Apparently even rockstars are not immune to the stress and strife brought on by the Covid 19 Pandemic.  David Crosby of Crosby Stills Nash & Young was recently interviewed by Patrick Doyle of Rolling Stone magazine and things are not going well.

The band has not toured since 2006 and there were plans for a nation-wide series of sell-out shows this summer.  That was before the Covid 19 Pandemic changed everyone’s schedules.

Crosby Stills Nash and Young were one of the super groups of the 1970’s and sold millions of albums full of music that defined a generation.  Some critics called the band the American Beatles for their songwriting, musicianship and ethereal vocal harmonies. They played Woodstock and hundreds of other iconic venues over the years.

In classic rockstar fashion, Crosby flamed out with a massive cocaine addiction that put him out of action and in jail for a few years.  At his worst Crosby kept coke, a glass pipe and a Bunsen burner just offstage during shows so he could hit the rock between songs.

Euclid Rally Peaceful, Hopeful for Real Change

In the midst of national turmoil, protests and riots over multiple deaths of African Americans throughout the country as a result of police action, Euclid’s Faith in the City group hosted a peaceful protest march in Euclid on June 11.  Faith in the City is a collection of various faith-based groups and churches committed to working together and with the City to make Euclid a place of welcome for all.  Billed as Rally for Change, this was the third peaceful event held in Euclid since the death of George Floyd at the knee of a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking a national outcry for an evaluation of policing practices and social justice reform related to Black Americans.

Report from the Frontline

The day after 9-11 the Plain Dealer sent me to New York City to report on the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. I relied on my friend there, Mark Bloch, a college roommate from Kent State University, to help me get into the wreckage of the twin towers. Recent events regarding the COVIT 19 pandemic brought him to mind again. I have talked to him recently about what life in New York City is like right now. This is that report.

Bloch, 64 is an artist and writer who lives at 8th Avenue and 28th St. He is a 30-year resident of Manhattan with his wife Amy, who is a retired schoolteacher. He had a big art show scheduled for March 26 that was postponed because of the pandemic. Here is what he had to say during a recent phone conversation.

“People always call and say, ‘We are so worried about you.’ I always tell them: this is a great place to be right now. New Yorkers are the best people. There is a tremendous camaraderie here. They respect the guidelines. Our governor (Andrew Cuomo) is so sensible. There is none of that false confidence that leads to huge pool parties like elsewhere in the Midwest.

Bob Dylan is Back and Mysterious as Ever

Bob Dylan has released his first song in eight years.  It’s a fifteen minute epic called “Murder Most Foul” about the JFK assassination. Why now, 57 years after the event?  Maybe because the tragedy was the end of innocence for our generation. It’s a dark mystery that has never been solved. Decades of speculation have yielded nothing more than a handful of vague conspiracy theories.  Dylan doesn’t concern himself with the question of “why” in his song.  He takes a Shakesperian approach, examining the spiritual and cultural aftermath of that historical and evil event.  He even took the title “Murder Most Foul” from the play “Hamlet” about the murder of a king.
 
Kennedy was a popular, bright young man that represented a new, vibrant generation. To be cut down in the prime of his life and career by some mysterious and shadowy cabal was a sign to all of us that something was rotten in Denmark.  Something bigger, nefarious and unfathomable.  So much for Camelot.
We were left to fend for ourselves.  And what did we have to help us along?  Something that couldn’t be taken away. We had music.
 
Dylan references the D.J. Wolfman Jack as our shaman.  We had the Beatles to hold our hand he says.  We had Woodstock and the Age of Aquarius. And even Altamont.
 
The second half of the song provides a litany of popular music some of which that seems sort of antithetical to the work of Dylan himself. There’s Buddy Holly, Billy Joel, and The Who.  Rock, folk, jazz and blues are in there too.  There’s Etta James and John Lee Hooker.  Classic rock radio stars like Queen and Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles get a nod. He rhymes the unlikely names of big band leader Stan Getz and Allman Brother guitarist Dickey Betts.

Lakeshore Cinema Sends a Message

‘The Lake’ is the closest theater to proximity to where I live and I miss GOING to see movies during the COVID-19 quarantine but obviously a necessary temporary sacrifice that will save lives.

How I Spent My Quarantine-cation


1. Watching CNN to find out how many ways I am likely to die in the coming days.

2. Sort my socks according to age dating back to 1974.

3. Look up the word “allocute” I heard on “Law & Order.”

4. Check the mailbox for my months overdue freelance check.

5. Feed the goldfish (singular).

6. Called Mom.  Apologized for not calling in so long. She didn’t recognize my name right away.

7. Go on FaceBook and see if my cat video is trending.

8. Check mailbox again. Nothing.

9. Look in fridge for leftover Chinese. Gone.

10. Watch another “Law & Order.” Viewer discretion is advised. Jerry Orbach? Really?

11. CNN reports on new ways for me to die. Starvation might be one if I don’t ever leave here.

12. Mail arrives. All cat food coupons from Marc’s.

13. Peek in fridge again. Still nothing.

14. Go on cat videos.com. No likes.

15. Resort socks. One missing.

16. Guy on FaceBook is cutting rolls of paper towels in half to make toilet paper. What is wrong with people?

17. Finally found an episode of “Law & Order” I haven’t seen twice.

18. Was just notified that H&M is a having sale.  What is H&M? Headboards and Mattresses?

19. Goldfish missing. Cat looks guilty.

20. Found new internet talk show where celebrities eat hot wings.  That’s not entertainment. That’s Tuesday at the bar after work.

21. New York Times Sunday Magazine is the music issue. The only artist I recognize is Taylor Swift and I’ve never heard a single one of her songs.

22. Talking head on CNN said try not breath when in public places.

23. Found ten year old bottle of hand sanitizer in bathroom closet. No expiration date. Didn’t taste that bad.

24. News report says Genesis Breyer P-Orridge had died.  Who? That’s what I said.

25. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University report that in Hubei China, where the virus was first discovered, 67,760 people have been infected.  Out of a population of 59 million that is an incidence rate of 0.11percent.  That means 99.89 percent were not infected.  I’m going to the bar. Bar of soap. Again.

Something special: Downtown Euclid set to become region's next Special Improvement District

Picture a bustling strip packed with bars, restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. People can stroll down the street, grab a cocktail in one place, eat dinner in another, and then walk over to see a movie or the sunset over the lake. This isn’t Ohio City or Gordon Square, though—it’s downtown Euclid.

It’s a dream that business owners there hope will come to fruition eventually, and with downtown Euclid’s upcoming designation as a Special Improvement District, it just might.

Established as a private, not-for-profit organization under state law, a Special Improvement District, known as an SID, serves as a way for property owners within the district’s boundaries to band together to make a roadmap for improvements that they pay for with a pool of money collected through taxes. The end goal is to increase economic development through a cohesive plan and collaboration among local business owners.

Euclid’s SID will span Lakeshore Boulevard from the Mary Mavec Opportunity School to East 228th Street and south along East 222nd Street to encompass Shore Cultural Centre. Only commercial properties are included; no residential or church properties are part of the SID. Though Euclid has other commercial corridors, like Euclid Avenue and East 185th Street, downtown was chosen not only for its growing concentration of businesses, including Great Scott TavernBeach Club BistroLake Shore Coffee HouseParagon Wine Bar and Atlas Cinemas, but its proximity to what might be Euclid’s best asset: the lake.

Create-A-Craft Studio Celebrates 4 years in business with a pARTy!

Four years ago, Create-A-Craft owner Eileen Sheehan turned the key to her studio, flipped on the lights, opened the windows, and welcomed her first day of guests. Since then, locals have come into the studio to discover themselves through creativity and self-expression.
