Registered Offender Added to the Sheriff’s Registry

Leave a Comment

The offender’s registered address is 4446 Groveland University Heights which is right in our community. While the laws regarding a minimum separation of 1000 feet between offenders and schools or childcare facilities are nuanced and therefore not always easily enforced, UHPD and the Sheriff’s Department were contacted to inform them that the address is within 1000 feet of the Gearity School property. Additionally, the property owner has begun taking steps toward eviction.

Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office maintains the registry which is also available as a public website.

Please note this is not necessarily the only such offender living in our community but rather the most recent addition.

Clocks Change this Motzei Shabbos

Leave a Comment

This weekend clocks are moved back one hour. While the official time to do this is 2am Sunday morning, you can just do it before you go to sleep; definitely before Sunday morning carpool.

Practically speaking, the change means that Sunday morning you gain one (measly) hour of sleep which you already used Motzei Shabbos staying up later. It also means that for the next four months you’ll practice subtracting an hour from the time on your car’s clock, and that darkness will fall an hour sooner but hey, we’re Cleveland, we’re used to not seeing the sun.

Message from Michele Weiss and Mark Wiseman About University Heights Mayor

Leave a Comment

Hello Fellow University Heights Residents in the Jewish Community,

We are writing to tell you how important this election is for our City and for our Community. There is a challenger for Mayor. His name is MICHAEL BRENNAN and he is endorsed by 6 of the 7 members of City Council, including the two of us. We are endorsing MICHAEL BRENNAN for Mayor because the next few years are too important to the City and the Jewish Community. Simply put, MICHAEL BRENNAN is the only candidate who will work with the members of council to move our city forward and the only candidate who will work to ensure that the Jewish community is understood, helped and remembered.

In the last eight years: if your daughter has tried to operate a backyard day camp; if you have tried to make improvements to your house; if you have tried to get any kind of help from City Hall and have wondered why you couldn’t get a straight answer or why the administration is not doing more to help you – now is your chance to make it better. We have both been on council (or been to meetings as a council observer) for the last 5 years. We know MICHAEL BRENNAN will be the best Mayor for the city of University Heights.

This November 7th please VOTE FOR MICHAEL BRENNAN for Mayor.

Also, there are other Council members trying to get Re-elected to four-year terms. Please also VOTE FOR:

  • MARK WISEMAN
  • SUE PARDEE

And in a separate race for a council spot that is only two years, Please VOTE FOR JOHN RACH.

We have spent a lot of time working to represent the Jewish Community on your City Council. If you vote for these people, the Jewish Community will have a stronger voice in the community.

Thank you,

Michele Weiss
Mark Wiseman

Chaverim Reminds You to Change Your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors’ Batteries

Leave a Comment

As we change the clocks, it’s a good time to remember that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors save lives! But only if they’re working!

  • Test all your detectors to make sure they’re functioning.
  • Batteries should be replaced yearly (FEMA’s US Fire Administration)
  • Detectors must be replaced every 10 years or when they reach their expiration dates

If you need new 9V batteries, for the next week, Chaverim is offering Duracell brand batteries for sale for $2 each. Please contact Shmuel Kessler at 216-373-3666 or shmuelkessler@gmail.com.
