The Browns are descending to the level lower than the Indians, a team which is more steeped in a tradition of brainless bad management. (Remember Gabe Paul?)

As I watched the 2d Cy Young award winner be traded away this summer, I could only recall Jimmy Dudley.

After yet another July meltdown in the late innings, he broke to commercial with “This is Jimmy Dudley and you are listening to the God damned Cleveland Indians baseball network.”

Sadly, it seems Cleveland must live through a period in which two rich kids — Dolan and Lerner — try to figure out what to do with the toy Daddy bought.

An image sticks in my head.

When I was attending University School in the 1960’s a number of my classmates came from Cleveland’s wealthy families. One classmate, upon turning 16, received a beautiful and powerful Ford Mustang from his parents. Within a month, he had wrapped it around a tree.

I don’t think this much cool-aid has been consumed since the Jonestown Massacre. The results will even be the same. Maybe the Mafia will come back to give us something interesting to read.

Wait, they already are back. Forgot about Dimora and Russo. My bad!

Another focal point for the new MSU Extension will be urban farming and regional food systems.
Many people in our state’s large urban areas don’t have enough access to fresh produce. That’s because there’s a lack of grocery stores in many of our cities, and many residents don’t have the means to shop at grocery stores outside the city.

So as a result, many people living in urban areas have high obesity rates and disproportionate rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Urban farms can take vacant lots in our cities and put them to productive use, growing fresh fruits and vegetables for people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get them.
