AT I Ward Harris, 39, of Jenne proposed to start educational and vocational training, counseling and other services. "The people in Ward 10 have got to begin to take control of those (vocational) skills themselves," said Harris. "The young people that are out there could rebuild the ward. My job as a councilmen would be to find money to undergird that process." Social worker and community activist Betty Flonnoy said last week that she hoped to provide homes for the homeless and the disabled, to increase parent participation in school programs and to increase social services. Flonnoy, 60, began school volunteer work about 30 years ago in neighborhoring Glenville and has served on several public school advisory committees.
She is a founder of Our Community Center, a non-profit corporation at 12519 St. Clair Ave. Flonnoy describes Ward 10 as poverty-stricken. Local and regional businesses should be encouraged to seek government funds to spark redevelopment, she said. Bill Haas, a Harvard Law School graduate and former VISTA volunteer who lives in Ohio City, said residents have told him they want a councilman who will press city officials to deliver city services.
"Sidewalk repairs, snow removal, garbage pickup" should be the primary concern of a councilman, he said. Hass, 43, is a financial planner for an insurance firm. He was an assistant law director under Kucinich. Another Kucinich appointee in the campaign is Isabell 48, of E. 123rd St.
Hendricks, director of human resources and economic development under Kucinich, is a former board member of the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority. Critics have called her a loudmouth who offers little constructive criticism. She has chastised the housing board for chastised the housing board for budget irregularities. She was was named "Outstanding Community Leader" in 1986 by a tenant-rights organization. Hendricks declined an interview.
David P. Dawson 38, of E. 133rd said he was the city building inspector principally responsible for condemning the vacant Coit Rd. plant. He said he would use 17 years' experience in community development to help revitalize the neighborhood.
Some land, including E. 152nd should be rezoned to make it less difficult to start retail businesses, he said. Cleveland should build a recreation center for the neighborhood and the housing code enforcement program should be strengthened, he said. Freddie Moore, 38, of E. 128th lost to Jones in 1985.
He pledges to start a Ward 10 Job Bank where businesses would register when they needed to hire workers. "Business depletion, unfortunately, is rampant the neighborhood," he said. He further pledges to make businesses aware of federal, state and local aid available to minorities and small enterprises. 4 Other candiates, who could not be reached for comment, are Richard Taylor of Ridgehill James J.
