Posted Thursday, April 3
One of the United States' highest ranking former military leaders was in Cleveland Wednesday night (April 2nd, 2003), speaking to the Cleveland Council on World Affairs. Admiral William Crowe is a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under presidents Reagan and Bush, the first. After mustering out of military life, he served as the United States' ambassador to the United Kingdom, and held various posts in private industry. In the early 90's, he surprised some people by supporting Bill Clinton for president, despite the candidate's lack of a military record. Today there's another president in office who has never worn a uniform. ideastream's April Baer caught up with Admiral Crowe to talk about what's going on in the White House.
A Cloudy Future for Cosgrove Shelter
Posted Thursday, April 3
As of September 1st, Catholic Charities will no longer run the county's only emergency shelter for women and children. Several allegations of drug and sex abuse have been exposed at the shelter recently. Putting the women in the Cosgrove building was supposed to be a temporary arrangement while Catholic Charities worked with local officials to find a new site for the shelter. 14 sites have been considered in the last two years. And now County officials have less than five months to get plans together for a new site, and hire a new provider to continue running the shelter. ideastream's Renita Jablonski reports.
Making Change: Arts, the Economy and the Neighborhood
Posted Wednesday, April 2
Here's a pop quiz: Which activity did people spend the most money on in 2000... spectator sports, movies or the performing arts? If you said performing arts... you'd be right. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, patrons spent one-point-seven billion dollars more on performing arts than they did on admissions to movies and 500-million more than spectator sports. So, as we talk up a new convention center as an economic investment, the arts may be a comparable economic driver. As part of Making Change: Reinventing Our Economy, ideastream's Shula Neuman spent a day at Art House in the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood of Cleveland and reports that even small, community arts centers are integral to the economic well being of a neighborhood.
