"Watcha Gonna Do about CLEVELAND...?"
Hero Town
The Plain Dealer does on ongoing feature Home Grown Heroes and hey, my parents met in Cleveland, my lovely bride was born in Cleveland and many of my O.S.U. college buddies are from...you got it. I might go on about the great personal and professional adventures I have enjoyed near the lake though the local hero list (click on the title above) is more interesting.

HeroTown
Secret Origin
A young couple driving from the East coast to California to start a family and anew life. The woman is in the third tri-mester of her pregnancy and after many hours on the road the car brakes down near Zanesville, Ohio. They use their last coins to fix the car and the man drops his pregnant girlfriend in Columbus to receive proper medical care and support while he sets up a home in California.
The women has a healthy red-haired son she names Christopher and moves in with family through Catholic Social Services. The women waits to be contacted by her betrothed and waits and waits...
With a heavy heart, the woman puts the infant for adoption because she feels that she does not have the means to provide for the child. After a short time in foster care the boy is adopted by a couple who live in Columbus, Ohio.
SuperPowers
The boy named Christopher grows up to be Community Action Hero David Yorka who attends school in Columbus at The Ohio State University. David spends the next two decades working in homeless shelters, housing projects, and developing a fascination with Career Formation and a passion for innovative solutions to eradicating poverty.
David unwraps his gift with the help of many wise mentors and associates. David utilizes his superpowers of vision, insight, compassion and creativity to work with others seeking to unwrap their gift. "SUPER POWERS ACTIVATE"

HeroTown is alive and well
Way back in March of 2006 I posted my first HeroTown story. I decided to hop in the get back machine and pick up the trail , it was the first day of Spring three years back and I will deliver an installment once a week until I stop.
I am re- posting the original story and include two more this week because as De La Soul says "three is a magic number, yes it is... it's a magic number."

Young Gamers Mission
I first saw this "smart" video game referenced in Fast Company Magazine. UNICEF - Voices of Youth: Explore The game is part of the UNICEF sponsored homepage for young people and the game speaks for itself.

"It's like... T.V."
I am not a believer in the concept of educational television; that is the passive connection with the animal kingdom, Sesame St. or Dora and all hear explorer friends. I grew up in the golden brown television Age of the Brady Bunch, Charlie's Angels, All in the Family, Taxi , Seals & Kroft, Martin & Rowen, Shields & Yarn ell and on and on....
I love to read and I enjoy a good show on the box.I have yet to hear about the brain science based benefits of T.V. I do get a kick out of the 'learning programs" with cool, clever WordGirl and the lively Higglytown Heroes.

Facebook Web plan hopes to boost activism
I continue to find the existence of LinkedIn, Squidoo and others to push the local poverty ball into the court of our scattered change makers. The article above from the SF Gate publication provides good questions -- bring the noise!
