BOOK REVIEW: Just Food by James E. McWilliams
James E. McWilliams seems like he may be a big bummer at a lot of cocktail parties. You can tell, because the introduction to his book Just Food is continually defensive. "My goal here is not to write a reactionary tract against the locavore movement," he writes, yet his real and well-researched analysis of sustainable agriculture is laced with sideways critiques and subtle condemnations of current green culture. Within the pages of Just Food lie a mixed series of sustainable solutions and conflicting emotions regarding the challenges of eating an ethical diet.
Some of the conclusions the author draws are very complementary to the current organic food movement, such as his belief that farming subsidies need to be seriously reexamined and sustainable aquaculture supported. Other suggestions, like the support of Genetically Modified crops, or the dismissal of food miles, are more controversial. McWilliams maintains that escalating population growth will force us to seek out various solutions.
"It's so much sexier to reiterate the mantra of eating local, growing rooftop gardens, foraging for wild dandelion balls, and keeping backyard hens. And this is wonderful. We can keep things local– we should keep things local — but we must also stop insisting that our behavior is, if universalized, a viable answer to the world's present and future problems," he writes. To those who "insist," McWilliams offers the "viable answers" of reducing meat consumption, judicious use of pesticides, and the support of sustainable aquaculture.
To be sure, the bulk of Just Food is a solid, comprehensive analysis of our global food system. Vegetarians will find new conversation fodder in McWilliams' justification for reduced meat consumption. Fans of the previously featured Farm Fountain will be thrilled to read his descriptions of some forward-thinking aquaculture projects. And if you ever wondered about the details on pesticides allowed within organic certification, here's your chance. But a few of the authors' attempts at cultural observation leave the reader cold.
"I suppose it would have been a lot more fun to have written a book on the sublime virtues of slow food, Chez Panisse, Berkshire pork, or the gustatory pleasures of an heirloom tomato. For sure, it would have been a pleasure to indulge my research abilities in something sensual and fulfilling," reads his introduction. At which point the reader can't help but feel a little . . . how should I say . . . scolded? As if enjoying An Omnivore's Dilemma or a farmer's market tomato had been an act of frivolous excess. As if food (you know, the real, important food) were not also pretty and fun.
"I've chosen to save the romantic rhetoric for the parlors of hobby farmers and seminar rooms of the chattering culinary class," he writes. He's not wrong in pointing out that there are, indeed, a lot of pretty-pretty stories out there about tomatoes and watermelons. But he's wrong in thinking that folks who enjoy these stories exist in a locavore bubble of some sort, or that supporters of sustainable agriculture don't also enjoy the benefits of global trade. Hi, my name is Moe Beitiks. I just had some organic brown rice and kale with some imported green tea, and now I'm using the internet.
Let me be clear: the green movement needs its critics. It needs global perspectives like McWilliam's to keep from getting entrenched in religious fervor or Utopian ideology. For these reasons, I'm grateful the book is out there. But if McWilliams is certain that his plan in Just Food is the best solution to feed the world, he'll have to make nice with a culture beyond statistics. We all benefit from a deeper appreciation for farming: I've had enough pale, hard, supermarket tomatoes to know that.

I loved this review.
I agree completely with your comment about feeling "scolded" by McWilliams. His screed against locavorism seems motivated by something other than the spirit of dispassionate scientific inquiry. I found him condescending and charmless. I almost didn't finish the book because of this.
What's more, he beat "food miles" to death, but ultimately failed to address successfully any of the other arguments for locavorism.
All of which is a shame, sort of, because the chapters on meat and fish are worth reading. Perhaps in the form of an essay rather than a book.
My full thoughts here:
September 17, 2009 at 6:13 pm
"At which point the reader can't help but feel a little . . . how should I say . . . scolded?"
It's a pretty mild scold, if it is one at all, but has it occurred to you that…well….sometimes a little scolding is in order? At its best, the slow/local/sustainable food movement is populist, relevant, and levels a thoughtful cultural critique. That'st he slow food movement of Pollan, Waters, and yes, McWilliams as well – rooted in ecology, economics, agronomy, and social justice. At its worst, it can be either smugly self-satisfied and vaguely hedonistic, or shrilly moralistic, preachy, and overbearing in its demands that we all eat the right foods for the right reasons while dimly dismissing various social justice issues that inevitably crop up in these discussions. If you spend too much time jabbering about your $4/lb heirloom tomatoes, whatever your genuine appreciation of them may be, you can sound a little too much like a wealthy yuppie and a little too little like an informed social commentator.

Choosing Gifts
Choosing and Sending Gifts Q&A
Do I have to choose something from the bridal registry? No. The registry is a convenience for guests, not a mandate. Checking a couple's registries may give you a better idea of their tastes and needs.
Am I supposed to buy a gift that costs as much as what the hosts spend on each person at the wedding? No. This modern myth causes considerable anxiety for guests, but it is simply untrue. The amount you spend is strictly a matter of your budget, how close you are to the bride and groom, and what you think is an appropriate gift.
Is it tacky to send money? Not at all. Cash gifts are often just right for couples who have already established their households or are saving for something special.
How do I give the couple a gift of money? A monetary gift is either sent directly to the couple with a personal note, or into the financial gift registry. When a gift is sent to a financial institution or a travel agency where the couple has registered, the couple receives notification of the gift and its amount.
Can I send something I already own? Yes, but only as long as it is in good condition—not a castoff—and you're confident that the couple will like the item.
Don't I have up to a year after the wedding to send a gift? No, this is another myth. Gifts should be sent before the wedding or as soon after the wedding date as possible. But late is better than never so send your gift when you can.
Can I take my present to the wedding? You can, but only if this is the tradition in the couple's culture or community. If you're sending a gift from one of the couple's registries, it will be clearly listed where the gift is to be sent.
May I send a group gift? Married couples and nuclear families generally send one gift, as do couples who live together. Group giving, when guests pool their resources to purchase a more elaborate gift, is also fine.
How do I know if my gift arrived? A thank-you note from the couple is your best guarantee. You can also ask for delivery confirmation on gifts sent by mail or commercial delivery service.
What do I do if I don't receive a thank-you note? Give the couple a reasonable amount of time to send their thank-you—usually three months postwedding. After that time, you're free to ask if the gift was received.
What if I learn that my gift was returned or exchanged? Say nothing. Returns and exchanges are common when a couple receives duplicate items.

The following excerpts are from an interview by ABC News' Bob Woodruff of former Sen. John Edwards for ABC News "Nightline" on Aug. 8, 2008.
BOB WOODRUFF: Senator, before we start this I just want to make it clear to our audience that you asked me to come here, and asked me to come here to talk about the reports about your personal life. … Let me ask you the question, did you have an affair with Ms. Hunter?
JOHN EDWARDS: In 2006 2 years ago, I made a very serious mistake. A mistake that I am responsible for and no one else. In 2006 I told Elizabeth about the mistake, asked her for her forgiveness, asked God for his forgiveness. And we have kept this within our family since that time. All of my family knows about this and just to be absolutely clear, none of them are responsible for it. I am responsible for it. I alone am responsible for it. And it led to this most recent incident at the Beverly Hilton. I was at the Beverly Hilton. I was there for a very simple reason, because I was trying to keep this mistake that I had made from becoming public.
BOB WOODRUFF: Is this affair completely over?
JOHN EDWARDS: Oh yes, it's been over for a long time.
WOODRUFF:… How long did it last and when exactly did it end?
JOHN EDWARDS: Well, here's the way I feel about this Bob. I think that my family is entitled to every detail. They've been told every detail. Elizabeth knows absolutely everything. I think beyond the basics, the fact that I made this mistake and I'm responsible for it and no one else. I think that's where it stops in terms of the public because I think everything else is within my family and those privacy boundaries ought to be respected.
WOODRUFF: I know this is a very difficult question, but were you in love with [Rielle Hunter]?
EDWARDS: I'm in love with one woman. I've been in love with one woman for 31 years. She is the finest human being I have ever known. And the fact that she is with me after this having happened is a testament to the kind of woman and the kind of human being she is. There is a deep and abiding love that exists between Elizabeth and myself. It's always been there, it in my judgment has never gone away.
WOODRUFF: Your wife, Elizabeth, is probably the most admired and beloved person in this country, she's had enormous sympathy because she's also gone through cancer, how could you have done this?

East Tennessee State Gets Past Appalachian State, 75-66
Wednesday, January 02, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Jan. 2, 2002) - East Tennessee State, playing its first game since Dec. 22, overcame a sluggish early start against Appalachian State, coming up with a 75-66 win in the Southern Conference men's basketball opener for both schools. Sophomore Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) recorded his second straight double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Bucs to the win, its 16th straight at home. East Tennessee State (8-4, 1-0 SoCon) looked a bit rusty in the first 10 minutes of the game and Appalachian State (4-7, 0-1 SoCon) took advantage. Josh Shehan scored four of the Mountaineers first seven points as ASU raced out to an 8-1 lead five minutes into the game. Trailing 13-6, East Tennessee State went on a 6-0 run to get back into the game on baskets by Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.), Michael Tolliver (Bremo Bluff, Va.) and Ryan Lawson (Rogersville, Tenn.). The Bucs then took their first lead of the game at 16-15 on a pair of free throws from Lawson with 8:06 to play in the half. The lead changed hands four times in the next five minutes, but ETSU managed to eek out a four-point edge on a trey by Lawson, who scored seven in the first half, with 2:48 to play. Appalachian State cut the lead back to one on two free throws by Shawn Hall, but Dimeco Childress (Columbia, Tenn.) hit a layup off a nice cross-court feed from James Anthony (Brandon, Fla.) to give the Bucs a 33-30 lead at the half. Fields hit a three-point shot to start the second half for the Bucs, but the Mountaineers stayed with ETSU, trailing by only three points with 16:15 to play. Appalachian State then went cold, going scoreless for almost the next six minutes. ETSU took advantage, outscoring ASU 10-0 over the span, taking a 52-39 lead on a Wadood three-pointer with 10:48 to play. Appalachian State cut the lead back down to two points on a three-point shot from Jonathan Butler with 5:35 to play. ETSU answered the shot with a 10-1 run that ended with a steal by Lawson and a dunk by Childress that slammed the door on the Mountaineers, putting ETSU up 70-59 with 46 ticks left on the clock. Wadood led three ETSU starters in double figures with his 19 points. Fields matched his season best with 15 points, while Lawson added 11 for the Bucs to go with a team-high five assists. Overall the Bucs outshot ASU 43.1 to 40 percent. The rebounding war was a draw, with each team pulling down 39 boards. Appalachian State was led by Donald Payne, who also recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. East Tennessee State will play its next two conference games on the road, taking on The Citadel on Jan. 5 at 1:00 p.m. and then the College of Charleston on Jan. 7 at 7:00 p.m.

Your African adventure begins as you are met and warmly greeted at the Livingstone airport in Zambia. Enjoy an afternoon guided tour of Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, which straddles the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Watch as the mighty Zambezi River, forced through a fissure, cascades down 300 hundred vertical feet. The spray from the falls can be powerful so be prepared for getting wet. Overnight at Sindabezi Island.
Accommodations: Sindabezi Island Camp
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
Head into the bush after an early morning flight from Livingstone to Mfuwe, the gateway into one of Africa's finest wildlife sanctuaries, South Luangwa National Park Leaving the airstrip behind, your game viewing experience begins as you travel by open vehicle with an experienced guide.
Arriving at a comfortable camp in an untouched and unspoiled part of the park, you become truly immersed in the sights and sounds of the bush. Over the next few days your senses awaken as you feel Africa beneath your feet and are safely introduced to the home of the Big Five under the guidance of well trained, knowledgeable, native guides and scouts. The emphasis is on absorbing the never ending cycle of the environment with its hierarchy of prey and predator and intimate wildlife viewing not on distances walked.
Beginning around dawn after tea and a biscuit, expect to walk 3-4 hours each morning exploring different habitats near camp. Your guide and scout will consider signs of wildlife, your walking pace and your interests in determining the route. Although guides are intimately familiar with the terrain and where animals tend to congregate, you never know what wildlife you may encounter.
Returning to camp, savor a hearty brunch and discuss the animal sightings from the morning's walk. Enjoy a good book and a siesta before heading out in the late afternoon for sun downers and a night game drive to view nocturnal animal behavior. Overnight at either Zungulila or Chindeni Camp.

Armed with insight gained from tracking footprints and examining spoor while walking the land, spend the next three days exploring different habitats in this game rich section of South Luangwa. South Luangwa is the most well-known of Zambia's National Parks due to its incredible concentrations of wildlife. The Luangwa River is the most intact major river system in Africa and yearly flooding causes the course of the river to change, creating wildlife-rich oxbow lakes. Our game drives will search for elephants, giraffe, antelopes, baboons, buffalo, hippos, zebra, and kudu. These animals are stalked by numerous predators including lion, leopard, and hyena, with occasional sightings of the rare wild dog. Return each afternoon for a sumptuous outdoor dinner overlooking the Kapamba River. Overnight at Kapamba or Bilimungwe.
Accommodations: Kapamba Camp, Bilimungwe Camp
Spend these days at leisure enjoying as many or as few activities as you wish. Snorkeling in Lake Malawi is always a highlight, and masks, snorkels, and fins are provided in each room.

Several Laser one and Laser two sailboats are available, and if you've never sailed there are qualified instructors available to teach you. Likoma Island is known for its friendly locals and a walk or mountain bike ride on the island may take you to the market or to St. Peter's Cathedral in Mbamba town. This cathedral, built over 100 years ago, contains a crucifix made from a branch of the tree under which David Livingstone's heart is buried and the choir stalls are carved out of soapstone with elaborate decoration. Overnights Kaya Mawa.

Say good bye to the engaging Malawians you have come to know at Kaya Mawa before boarding the airplane for your flight back to Lilongwe. Consider extending your trip with a visit to another African destination before departing for home.

Additional active choices in the area include the world's best one day white water rafting trip featuring Class V rapids, bungee jumping off the bridge over the Zambezi, canoeing above the Falls, parasailing or horseback riding (not included, at additional cost, and at your own risk – if interested we suggest adding an extra day to fully take advantage of the high adrenaline adventure activities available).

Witnessing the Diversity of Indonesia at Borobudur Temple
Posted on : 26 November 2012
Categories : Culture and Heritage
A visit to the Temple of Borobudur is much more than the admiring the elegance of a 9th century Buddhist monument. It's more than imagining that this great stone tribute was buried for ages beneath volcanic ash. It's more than climbing over the world's largest Buddhist monument.
It's about witnessing the great diversity and the long history of these incredible islands known collectively today as Indonesia.
Indonesia is an assemblage of over 17,000 islands, with hundreds of cultures and languages spoken. Today it is a Muslim-majority nation, but it wasn't always this way. Over the ages, immigration from India, China, Portugal, Arabia, and the Netherlands has been a major contributor to the diversity of religion.
Hinduism and Buddhism were brought to Indonesia around the 2nd and 4th centuries, respectively, when Indian traders arrived on Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. Islam was introduced to Indonesia in the 14th century. In the 16th century, Protestantism was brought by the Dutch. Today, 87% of the population is Muslim, 10% Christian, and 1.7% Hindi.
Borobudur is located on the island of Java. �Java is the world's most populated island and is home to nearly 60% of Indonesia's 238 million people. Consequently, it is one of the most densely populated places on earth. It's like squeezing 138 million people into an area the size of Greece.
Our flight landed in the central Javan city of Semarang. Despite the rainy season having not fully arrived, the paddy fields were a fierce shade of green.
Our destination was the temple at Borobudur. Simply put it is world's largest Buddhist monument.
Borobudur is set in a valley near the base of volcanoes. This 9th-century Buddhist monument consists of six square platforms topped by three circular platforms. It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. At the top is the main dome, surrounded by another 72 Buddha statues, but these are seated inside stupas.
Like it or not, travelers and writers tend to make comparisons. One could make vague contrasts of Borobudur to the temples at Angkor Wat. However, each is unique. While Angkor is an intimidatingly huge complex spread out over several square kilometers, Borobudur can be taken in during a couple of hours.
Borobudur opens at dawn (you should be there for 5:30am) but costs ten times the price ($50 US). Visiting in the afternoon, although more crowded, is a better value ($5 US). You still see the temple, but your pictures may be filled with other tourists.
We woke at 4:45 am hoping to catch a cloud-less sunrise. By 5am, as we grabbed a flashlight and tightened a sarong around our waist, the prospects weren't looking good. The sky was dark. We waited.
I wandered around the top couple layers of the tall monument taking photos out in different directions. Trees lined the silhouette of the nearby mountain ridges. Palm trees covered the hazy, valley below.
The whole experience was serene, but we never quite caught the sun.

I was reading on one website that I should eat small healthy things every few hours to boost my metabolisim, is that true?
I'm just tired of eating salads every damn night. Even last year when I lost around 50 pounds. I'd eat a salad for dinner every night :feelsbadman:
Alcohol should be the first thing you cut back on. And I mean a drastic cut back.
I'm done with Alcohol JCane. I won't be drinking until I reach my goal weight.
But yeah, I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow. I'm just not sure what I should buy to eat. Thanks for the pointers.
Eat what I eat.
Shop at Whole Foods or EarthFare if you have one.
If you buy butter, buy Earth Balance. Tastes just like butter without all of the bad stuff in it. Same with sugar, mayonnaise, etc.
If you're gonna lose weight, you're gonna have to read labels. Buy things that are low in fat, high in protein, low in sugar, high in fiber, etc.
Thanks man. I'm going to buy a **** load of those lean cuisine's. Most of them only have around 350 calories. I burn that in the gym on the tredmills alone. I'll just start eating little stuff every 2 hours. Like carrots,bananas,cucumbers.
We don't have one of those up here I don't believe. But I will deffinetly keep my eyes open and read the labels more often.
Thanks for all your help J. You da man!
After one week, I'm down to 342. Lost almost 8 pounds in a week!

I have a useful context-menu extension created (with instructions from the web) via a registry key; it says "Open Containing Folder" so that right-clicking a file (or shortcut) and selecting that menu item opens explorer at that folder in the directory structure.
I have often wondered if it would be possible to get similar functionality for program windows - right clicking on the title bar will show an extra menu item: "Locate program" that would open explorer at the containing folder.
Also, by extension, other processes could be listed in a listbox (or better) GUI item and selected to open explorer there (or other file manager of course). I would love to try Skrommelling it (in Autohotkey) but I feel it would almost certainly be beyond me so feel it best to throw the idea out there to your tender mercies!

Burger Nostalgia – those awesome drive-ins!
I've been craving burgers ever since Labor Day. Not because of the standard BBQ frenzy over the holiday weekend, but because burgers and Labor Day remind me of that long car ride home from summer vacation and the favorite stops at highway and small town drive-ins. Long before the over-abundance of the drive-thru, the drive-in […] [Read More]

Kosher Poultry
|Moroccan Roasted Chicken
Adapted from Joy of Kosher , Fast, Fresh Family Recipes
During the developing and testing process for this book, this dish became Hubby's new favorite. Totally unexpected –I was sure he'd steal a line from the kids and say, "Thank you anyway, but this is not my taste". We taught them to say that instead of "Oooo yuck") It's just not the usual stuff and spices he goes for, but apparently the combination was soooo his taste. And mine, too. It's one of those winner recipes that will make you dance around your kitchen. You may hug me now.
Cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray the foil with cooking spray.
Mix together the honey, olive oil, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and garlic in a small bowl. Place the chicken, onions, and potatoes in a large bowl. Toss with three-quarters of the honey mixture and arrange in a single layer on the prepared pan. Toss the apricots and raisins with the remaining honey mixture and set aside.
Bake the chicken, onions, and potatoes for 35 minutes. Add the apricots and raisins and bake until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. Garnish with the pistachios and cilantro.
Recipe: kosher, poultry

As the world watched the 2013 Inaugural Parade unfurl Monday down Pennsylvania Avenue, three local musicians who play for the armed forces marched just paces away from their commander-in-chief, President Barack Obama.
Dressed in tricorn hats, white wigs and red greatcoats, Army Staff Sgt. Alexander Kuldell, son of Matthew and Rebecca Kuldell of Falls Church, and Army Spec. Sofia Hailu, a Falls Church native, marched with the U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, one of the Army's premier musical organizations and the only unit of its kind in the armed forces.
Master Sgt. Christopher Quade, originally from Burke, marched with the 99-piece Ceremonial Brass, the U.S. Air Force Band's all brass and percussion ensemble. The band was accompanied by an 80-person Honor Guard.
Kuldell, a snare drummer with eight years of service in the Fife and Drum Corps, says he plans to re-enlist this month. He is a 2000 graduate of Falls Church High School.
"I am honored and proud to be a part of such a historic event," he said.
Hailu, a 2002 graduate of a homeschool program in Falls Church, joined the Fife and Drum Corps this past year as a fifer. She joined the Army in 2010, serving as a flutist with the U.S. Army Europe Band in Heidelberg, Germany. A fife is a type of flute.
Quade, a tubist and section leader, has served in the U.S. Air Force since 1996.
The groups have been preparing for several months, Hailu said, "beginning with music rehearsals and then putting the music together with precision marching."
City of Fairfax Fire Chief Dave Rohr was honored at the fifth annual All American Inaugural Ball on Jan. 20 at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill. The event is a tribute to "American heroes," who sacrifice on behalf of others every day.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association's Greater Washington office nominated Rohr for his leadership and vision in helping with MDA's Fill the Boot campaign. Rohr's two stations have collected more than $50,000 each year that he has participated.
"Chief Rohr was instrumental in implementing the City of Fairfax's Fill the Boot program," said Stephanie Hall, fundraising coordinator for Greater Washington MDA. "His department proves the small are mighty … They have one of the highest per capita collections of any in the country."
Rohr, a Washington, D.C., native, has worked in fire and rescue for 35 years.
Many area thespians were recognized for their excellence in theater production when nominations for the 13th annual Washington Area Theatre Community Honors (WATCH) program were announced Jan. 20.
Forty-three musicals and 83 plays were adjudicated in 2012. Seven Fairfax County companies participated in the WATCH adjudication, and the following were nominated:
• Alliance Theatre: one nomination for "Nunsense."
• Elden Street Players: 10 nominations for "Clean House," "Flowers for Algernon," "Glengary Glen Ross" and "Rooms, A Rock Romance."
• McLean Community Players: seven nominations for "Deathtrap" and "Man of La Mancha."
• Providence Players: 19 nominations for "Side Man," "Sleuth" and "YouCan't Take It with You."
The WATCH Awards will be announced March 17 at the Birchmere in Alexandria. For more, visit www.washingtontheater.org.

CLEVELAND - To outsiders, the Polish Constitution Day parade wending its way down Cleveland's East 65th Street did not seem anything special. Though it was spirited and the participants undeniably put a lot of work into the 130 units, it couldn't match the city's much larger St. Patrick's Day parade, whose 245 units drew half a million people downtown just a month earlier. Nor could it rival the nation's most famous Constitution Day event, the Chicago parade that would attract 250,000 to Grant Park six days later.
But to Anthony Brancatelli and the other residents of Slavic Village and its Warszawa Historic District, folks who have had to fight so hard in recent years to save their neighborhood, this parade was about as special as it gets. Almost no neighborhood in the country has been hit harder over the last decade than Slavic Village. In 2007, it drew international attention when it suffered more home foreclosures than any other place in the country. Abandoned houses suddenly blighted every street. Crime soared as gangs got emboldened. Churches were shuttered. And, yes, even the Constitution Day parade that had been so much a part of the community for so many decades was taken away from them, moved in 2010 by a skittish Ohio Polish American Congress intent on fleeing to a suburb they viewed as safer.
It was a low point in an already bleak time for one of Cleveland's oldest and proudest neighborhoods, one built a century ago by the Poles, Bohemians, and Slovenians who came to work in the city's gritty factories and steel mills and now lived in a multiracial mix of ethnicities.
But, in what has become a symbol of a feisty community's refusal to die, Slavic Village fought back and staged its own parade despite what was going on in the suburbs. "We didn't miss a beat," boasted lawyer and parade chairman Teddy Sliwinski, recalling an emergency meeting of Polish veteran and fraternal groups after the announcement of the move. "We got it back, back to where it belongs," said Polish-born Eugenia Stolarczyk, whose Polish-language radio show has her known here as "the golden voice of Polonia," and who was the grand marshal of this year's parade. In that role, she got a warm reception from the crowds lining Fleet Street and East 65th.
But not as warm as the applause that greeted another marcher—Brancatelli, the Cleveland city councilman who has long been the most vocal champion of the neighborhood and an architect of its comeback, one that carries important messages for other neighborhoods across the country that are struggling with either urban blight or the foreclosure crisis that continues to rage.
That a politician would get the loudest cheers—louder than for the men of the World Apostolate of Fatima who carried the statue of the Virgin Mary, louder than for Don Wright who bills himself as "Ohio's No. 1Elvis impersonator," louder even than for the extraordinarily cute little girls in native garb from the Konopnicka Polish School—may seem odd in an era of disdain, disappointment, and deep distrust of politicians and government. But the story of the still-nascent recovery of Slavic Village is a story of a citizenry absorbing a body blow and politicians and government responding effectively and working to get ahead of the crisis.
And Tony Brancatelli is at the center of that story. He grew up in the neighborhood, the grandson of Polish and Italian immigrants, but then watched it change from ethnic to mixed-race and saw both his childhood parish (Transfiguration) and his high school (South High) close. But he stayed throughout the changes, spending 17 years as executive director of the nonprofit Slavic Village Development Corp. before moving to the City Council in 2005. He helped build and rehab hundreds of homes in the first part of his career only to find himself as the champion of demolition, pushing the city to tear down thousands of houses.
"Tony is a hero in this story," said Jim Rokakis, the former Cuyahoga County treasurer who has been at the councilman's side throughout the battle and is himself considered a hero to those who have watched the duo fight at City Hall in Cleveland, the Legislature in Columbus, and the Congress in Washington. "Tony's just out there fighting this fight every day, more than anybody I know. I don't have that kind of strength or energy," said Rokakis. "Cleveland was the center of the crisis in Ohio and the area he represents was the epicenter of that crisis. So he represented the area most devastated nationally by the foreclosure crisis."
Even five years after the worst of the foreclosures, that devastation is impossible to miss. Drive down almost any street off of the main drags of Fleet or Broadway—as Brancatelli does almost every day. Behold empty lot after empty lot where five years ago houses stood. Worse, witness the still-standing but abandoned houses—windows boarded up, innards ripped out by scavengers determined to take any scrap of copper or plumbing, and, over and over again, the aluminum siding torn off as high as vandals could reach. RealtyTrac, which came up with the numbers in 2007 that gave zip code 44105 its unenviable No. 1 ranking, has tracked the damaging statistics:
