The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has redrawn the precincts for the County. I noticed it when I received my absentee ballot.
Do yourself a favor and check your registration. Here is the link for the polling locations
Here is the new map for Lakewood.

County Commissiner Jimmy Dimora
If you have not see the diatribe by Dimora from yesterday's press conference, here is a bit of it.
I watched the whole thing and felt like it was a train wreck waiting to happen.
While Dimora was flailing away at the DOJ, the Plain Dealer and the GOP, my thought was the following.
What lawyer in is right mind would let his client get out in front of the media and lay out such drivel. Honestly, it was despicable advice from counsel.
Based on this press conference, it will be my guess that if Dimora and Frank Russo are indicted, the legal maneuvering will be to get the location of the trial moved to either Akron or Youngstown, since the Jury pool will be fairly tainted by the time it comes around.

Dever Announces he won't seek re-election
Didn't see that coming:
Mike Dever, Council President and At-Large Council member told the Lakewood Democratic Club last night that he won't seek re-election in November.
Citing that it was time to put family ahead of the City matters.
This certainly puts a twist into the At-Large Race for this fall.
Mike, thanks for your Leadership in Lakewood!

A beautiful Friday Morning
These pictures just don't come out as well as the naked eye as to the brightness of the morning and the clarity of everything. Visibility is 15-20 miles from this vantage point.

St. James in Lakewood
Things are still swirling for St. James. Although the appeal to the Bishop was denied there is a group of people who are assembling the necessary documentation to prepare an appeal to the higher level of the Catholic Church. When that will be done, my guess within the next few days.
With the Bishop's reversal of St. Colman's and St. Ignatius of Antioch's decision has certainly changed some peoples thinking about St. James remaining open.
The theory is that those two churches were in tougher shape than St. James and St. James provided a much faster debt retirement and facility upgrade plan. But, we will keep plugging away.
The City of Lakewood is joining the fray in introducing legislation creating a Civic Landmark Designation. How, this is going to play out, I am not sure. I was going to check with Mayor FitzGerald and Ward 1 Councilman Kevin Butler regarding their thoughts on this matter.
I think by Memorial Day, we shall have a better picture.

Congrats to LeBron James
Never in my wildest dreams that a little less than 4 years ago when I was sitting next to him at lunch table in the basement of the Summit County Court House awaiting for another afternoon session in Judge Jane Bond's courtroom on a contract dispute, I was sitting next to an MVP for all of the NBA.
(Okay, I had hoped, but I am a Buffalo Bills fan and I live in Cleveland!)
One of the nicest guys I have met in the sports world.

St. James Closing
As expected the appeal for St. James was denied. Unless there is some movement by the parishioners for appealing to Rome, St. James will cease to exist by the end of 2010.
Based on what I have seen of the letter the Bishop is basically telling all the members of St. James to move to the remaining parishes of Lakewood.
This is not only a crushing blow the the members of St. James, but it will cause some initial financial hardships to St. Luke's, St. Clements and the merged parish of SS Cyril & Methodious and Rose. The biggest loser in all of this will Lakewood Catholic Academy, they are going to have a difficult time in the near term and to the middling years in overcoming the loss of the second largest contributor to their school.
As I see it, this consolidation of Lakewood Parishes is not complete.
