Twenty-one cases of Shigella had been confirmed in eastern Cuyahoga County and western Lake County as of Jan. 20, and more cases were reported this week, according to officials of the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. Some cases have occurred in the Orthodox Jewish community.

It began quietly, as an email to 40 friends.
But when a steady stream of customers began coming through the door before the family-owned Chagrin Hardware had even opened for the day on Saturday, it was clear that it had turned into much more than that.

There are 80,800 Jewish people in the Greater Cleveland area. Contrary to popular belief, anecdotal data and water-cooler discussion at many Jewish agencies in town, Cleveland’s Jewish population is not that far off from the 81,500 it was estimated to be in 1996.

March 6th Primary Elections
The March 6th, 2012 primary elections are fast approaching. If you are not registered to vote (you are if you have voted recently), then you can do so up until 30 days before the primary.
If you wish to vote by mail, you will need to request an application to vote, fill it out then you will receive a ballot which again you will need to mail in. You can request an application online here.
Amazon has totally restructured their Amazon Mom and Diaper Deals programs so most probably there won’t be any big deals like there have been over the years (and as we have posted here). In the past, you could get a 30% savings through combining Subscribe & Save and Amazon Mom. However, now in order to get even 15% you need to become a member of Amazon Prime (which gets you unlimited 2 day shipping on any order) but this will cost you $79/ year.
For LJN, this means no more revenue from these deals either. So please if you are buying stuff on Amazon anyway, first click on our banners so that when you do make that purchase our site will get a small percentage from that sale without costing you anything. 100% of this revenue goes right back to the costs of running the site.

Baruch Dayan Ha’emes
We regret to inform you that Dr. Martin Schneider is sitting shivah for the passing of his brother. Shiva will be through Sunday morning at 24811 Albert Lane, Beachwood.

World Cheese Company, producer of Haolam cholov yisrael cheese products and Miller’s Cheese Corp. have moved quickly to offer its loyal customers newly produced quality shredded cheese after issuing a voluntary recall on a limited amount of shredded cheese packaged in a Wisconsin plant. The new Haolam’s and Miller’s Shredded Cheese are being shredded and packaged exclusively at a plant that will not handle any other cheese products, thus avoiding the situation that caused the companies’ first recall of any kind in nearly eight decades.

Get money back on your utilities
The Cleveland Housing Network offers a number of programs to homeowners offering help with foreclosures and assisting to get people signed up on utility assistance programs for low-income families. In regard to the latter, some of these offerings might be of interest to our families and could mean a lot of money.
- HEAP, PIPPPLUS and E-HEAP, First Energy Fuel Funds (when available) are programs that families or individuals can apply to with varying benefits. Most of these applications can be done by one’s self downloading the info online. However the CHN can answer questions and will help you to fill out the applications if you need this service. Call them at 216.518.4014 or Seniors age 60+ or physically disabled can call 216.774.2351 for in-home appointments.
- Water and Sewer programs. The water program is only for City of Cleveland Residents. However, if your sewer bill comes from the North East Ohio Regional Sewer District (I believe CH,UH, Bchwd all do) then you can receive a 40% discount if you meet income requirements. Enrollment is currently opening now. Details here.

Anyone Shop at Aldi?
Everyone is trying to save money these days and I have been wondering if it was worth it to do some food shopping at places like GFS or Aldi’s (Lyndhurst). It just so happens that a great Jewish Mom blogger (KosherOnABudget.com) wrote recently on the pros and cons of Aldi’s (and maybe in the comments section writers can share similarly about GFS):
Aldi Advantages
As a general rule, I have found that the baseline (non-sale, non-coupon) prices at Aldi are as much as 50% lower than at your typical local or chain grocery stores. Aldi even beat most store brands. For example, I consistently find that Aldi’s pasta and dried beans are less expensive than Great Value, the Walmart store brand. Of course, a price book is helpful is making a full comparison.
Aldi also offers a full guarantee on all their products. If your tomatoes are a little mealy (which has happened to me once or twice – see Disadvantages), you can return them for a full refund.
This course has been approved for 9.00 CLE hours by the Ohio Supreme Court.
6 Mondays or 6 Tuesdays. Beginning January 30, 2012. 7:15 PM – 8:45 PM
At the Waxman Chabad Center, 2479 S. Green Rd. in Beachwood
Fee: $80 | $175 with 9.00 CLE Hours
