REALNEO is a founding affiliate of the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council (GCLAC) - and REALNEO actively promotes "Lead Safe Living" in NEO. For the past several years it has been my honor to work with 100s of amazing people associated with GCLAC, the most innovative and important community redevelopment initiative in Ohio, eradicating lead poisoning and its consequences in this most lead poisoned region in America. We have made great strides and enter a transition stage where we are "institutionalizing" lead poisoning eradication by making it core to public awareness and action for healthy living, centered on healthy homes and environment. So the lead poisoning dialog will no longer be centered only on the plight of poor urban children and toys from China but on lead poisoning's impacts on all of society, and community strategies for mitigation. This year's GCLAC annual meeting, at the Cleveland Natural History Museum, focuses on this turning point in our community approach to lead poisoning, as the topic of the world-class meeting is "Lead Poisoning and Urban Redevelopment". You are invited to attend... see detailed information on the free event and how to register in the message from the event coordinator, Jacqueline Knox Kelly, below.

On A Pedestal and Off The Wall, The Fourth Annual Exhibition of Small Sculpture from the Region opens on Friday, June 6 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm with a director’s talk at 6:30 pm. The opening is free and open to the public. This year’s prestigious juror, Gregory Amenoff, Chair of the Visual Arts Division of Columbia University’s School of the Arts, New York, selected 26 works by 20 artists from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Ontario, Canada. Artists include Brandy Agnew, Leticia R. Bajuyo, Matthew Boonstra, Susan Byrnes, Brian Caponi, Stefan Chinov, Jon N. Cotterman, Chad D. Curtis, Walter Early, Ed Hallahan, Delanie Jenkins, Taylor Maida, Eric Mirabito, Anne O’Callaghan, Joshua Parker, Julie Schenkelberg, Matt Steele, Scott Stibich, Nick Vanderpool, and Lauren Yeager. The artists, whose resumes were not consulted by the juror, range in experience from a self-trained electrical engineer to students still in art school to assistant art professors to artists well established in the field. The artwork varies in size from a stripped #2 pencil (Matt Steele, Raw, 2008) to a floor to ceiling installation of orange painted PVC piping that suggests a tornado funnel made solid (Leticia R. Bajuyo, Forces of Nature, 2007). The aesthetics of the juror are manifested in a coherent body of strong works of art that are united by inherent contradictions of ideas and materials, meticulous fabrication or purposefully ephemeral construction, appropriation of commercial products, and a good sense of humor.

Ed Hauser's sure to be there, but you should be too if you care about the waterfront.  The scary sentence in the PD notice observes that the Port's "move would free port docks at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River for commercial and residential development".  Depending on what these latter developments turn out to be, we, the public, are likely to be no nearer Lake Erie than we are now with the Port taking up prime space.

You can read about the task force here and here.  At this latter site you can get up to speed by seeing a video of part of a previous task force meeting and take part in a survey.  We need better public transportation now, so come and speak up.
