A proposito di questo titolo

 Welcome to our 3rd Podcast, after a slight COVID Delay.  We’ll be here every 2nd Friday at 5 pm, alternating with the two times a month eBulletin that goes out via email to over 12,000 opted-in subscribers. Ready, Set, Woe! First, and foremost. Thank you. Thank you for sticking with us. Thank you for all of your letters and emails and support, when we did not print the April issue, putting only the interactive edition on our website. When I see so many of our advertisers forced to close or go to some form of takeout/delivery, and the damage they are suffering, a few thousand dollars loss is immaterial.  We did not charge any advertiser in April, with the hope that those reading the interactive OhioIANews online will click on advertisers’ ads, go to their website, shop and/or order carryout or curbside pickup. We did the same for this May issue. No charges to our advertising partners. Thank you for your new subscription orders stating that you will read the OhioIANews online, and  therefore are refusing a mailed copy. NOW THAT IS TRUST. I am so angry to hear the latest implosion by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the only daily newspaper in Greater Cleveland. I never thought "our" Cleveland Plain Dealer would drop to intentional elimination of local people reporting local issues, union people, to become ??? what - filler for the ad pages on Cleveland.com? Or, in effect, by design, extinct. I know and have worked with so many of the reporters, favorites like Michael K. McIntyre, Rachel Dissell, Roxanne Washington, John Cobra Verde Petkovic, Laura DeMarco, and on and on ...  those whose columns I seek out daily. I like the weekly local Scene for its angles and music scene, but it's not unbiased in any way. Publishing a monthly newsmagazine like I do, I can't offer direct timely coverage, like so many of these reporters mentioned above always did. This is a virus with no vaccine, and it has a 100% kill rate. I am truly sorry that professional reporters are forced to take this greed-fueled hit. Money is short; times are hard, but we always held up, those with the media card. I had a great chat this morning with Dan Fedoryka, of Scythian, checking in first, chatting about the new normal. and then talking about the virus damage to musicians, the supporting casts, and the venues they play, including festivals, which are being cancelled.  Scythian has a new CD coming out in July; the guys are very excited with what they have heard so far; I can’t wait to hear it and feature it in the July issue. In a divisive world, will it take a virus to finally bring us together, albeit six feet apart? Can we finally reach the point of saying, even though someone’s point of view may be different, I won’t let that different POV undermine the much more important, lasting meaning of friendship? Life is much bigger than that. The only really decent thing to do behind a person’s back is to pat it.I can disagree with someone’s opinion, even discuss it and learn something from it, agree or not, without resorting to snide, personal or toxic attacks. And I can simply move on. What are you trying to accomplish? Beware the green-eyed monster. Christianity has a lot of ills, but also teaches, a lot of love. So, that’s a bit of the theme this podcast: Love, or in Irish, Grá, for people, efforts, heroes and harmony. Did you see the story earlier this week in the Irish Independent? It is titled: Grateful Irish honour their Famine debt to Choctaw tribe The generosity dates back to a gesture made in March 1847 when the Choctaw tribe heard of the Great Famine. Funds for native American tribes who have been badly hit by coronavirus are flooding in from Ireland as they repay a debt dating back to the 19th-century famine. At least 41 people have fallen victim to Covid-19 in the Navajo Nation, which straddles parts of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. The rise in cases is partly attributed to a water crisis.  An estimated 40pc of the Navajo do not have running water at home, and a drought in the south-west exacerbated the crisis.  As the pandemic intensified, the Navajo and Hopi families set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise cash to pay for bottled water. Already more than $1.3m (€1.2m) has been raised, with donations flooding in from Ireland.  The generosity dates back to a gesture made in March 1847 when the Choctaw tribe, which was gradually re-establishing itself in Oklahoma having been ousted from its ancestral lands in Mississippi, heard of the Great Famine.  Meeting in a building in Skullyville, Oklahoma, the Choctaw were asked to dig deep for people miles away they had never met. They did and the donations poured in.  Now, 173 years later, the gesture is being repaid with donors from Ireland.  "The Choctaw and Navajo people helped the Irish during the Great Famine, despite their own suffering," wrote Michael Corkery, who donated $200.  "When I learned about it, I never forgot it. It's history now, but we are still ...
