Regardless of what the federal govt does to assist with mortgage relief, local homeowners should heed your words: nothing is worse than doing nothing. Lou, you guys offer such a good service.

Cleveland State University did an excellent job of providing space, parking and set up to make our job that much eaiser. There were a ton of Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland staffers directing "traffic", providing answers and making homeowners who are going through some traumatic stuff, at ease. Having NeighborWorks America (full disclosure, we are a funded NeighborWorks organization) and the HOPE NOW Alliance bring lenders/servicers/counselors/other resources together under one roof, provided for a efficient and productive outreach event. Finally, if someone was not able to attend, our counselors are still available at 216.458.HOME (4663) or we are able to accept initial intakes online at www.nhscleveland.org/intake. Nothing is worse than doing nothing; whether you are behind, see yourself falling behind, or whether you are someone that can offer assitance, referral or direction to someone that needs help. Carole, thanks for being someone in that third category. Post script on the event: NHSGC had 5 counselors that were constantly busy from 2pm to 8pm.

(His full name is Jeff Henderson, should you try to order the book). And if you are interested in a career in food, why not call the Loretta Paganini School of Cooking, at 440-729- 1110.

Ed Hauser worked tirelessly to save Whiskey Island and the New Wendy Park. You could not open the paper, watch T.V. or attend a public meeting and not see Ed fighting for our lakefront! And it is because of all his efforts, hard work and determination we all owe him a great debt of gratitude. Whether you play volleyball there, bird watch, hike, boat, visit the Sunset Grille or enjoy those remarkable sunsets...remember, Ed Hauser! Saving Whiskey Island and Wendy Park is not where his sense of civic responsibility ended, as he soon became known as Citizen Hauser. Whenever Ed felt we needed to know more, whether is was about the shoreway, bridges or the proposed Medical Mart...Ed was out there working and being our watch dog. He did not get paid and he rarely got thanked. He just did what he felt he needed to do to make Cleveland better and stronger for all of us. And he did! Ed is a great example that if you believe in something, no matter how much the odds are stacked against you... fight for it! You will be surprised on what you can accomplish! So, in memory of our friend, get involved in your community and demand answers. This would the greatest tribute of all! Finally, the next time you visit Whiskey Island and Wendy Park...look up to the sky and thank him personally, because you know he will be there! God Bless you Ed and Rest in Peace my friend.

I lived there for a while myself! We are of like minds regarding their business districts. I knew all of my neighbors, and could walk to RTA. Plus there are tons of really cool homes to pick from at the moment. Good luck in your search! And have Veronica check into the First Time Home Buyers program, you can't go wrong with that.
