This summer, due to complications created by the mall renovation, the Arrupe Summer Program (ASP) will be moving from Kyle field, down the street to Urban Community School on West 48th and Lorain. Because there will be limited access to buildings this summer, foot traffic on Carroll and Lorain sidewalks will be thick with rattled Summer Enrichment Program kids. Adding the Arrupe campers to the mix will only heighten the chaotic transportation between activities. Therefore, ASP will be transferring off-campus this summer to Urban to simplify the situation.
Despite the new location, ASP will, for the most part, stay the same. There will still be the intuitive classes, including poetry and healthy habits, afternoon activities, and, of course (one can never forget), the appetizing snacks and lunches.
Over 500 Ignatius and JCU volunteers fan out across Cleveland

What do you usually do on a typical Saturday morning? Sleep? Get up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons? Finish up that last game of Call of Duty after your mom told you to go to bed six hours ago? Or is there something else you do to take up the dreary early morning hours? Ever thought about serving the neighborhood around St. Ignatius with help from your fellow classmates and students from John Carroll University?
This year I decided to break the mold and participate in Spring Into Action. I arrived at Ignatius on a beautiful sunny morning and received my assignment for that day. There were various assignments this year due to the assistance from John Carroll, which helped celebrate the 125th anniversary of both of our schools. The activities ranged from but were not limited to: gardening, landscaping, graffitti abatement, improving a senior citizen’s home; cleaning up common Labre sites, Monroe Cemetry, Trinity Church, and the city streets. The day began with Mass with Father Murphy and then after breakfast we sprung into action.
Once I located my group, we all loaded onto a John Carroll bus. I then made my first visit to St. Herman’s House of Hospitality on Franklin Boulevard. Immediately after stepping off the bus we walked around the back and began our work. The work was hard, but enjoyable. My group had to clear the vegetation, dirt, and debris around a nearby building on Vine Court that had just sustained a fire. The brush was so overgrown onto the streets that it turned a two lane alley into a one lane alley. For two hours, we worked diligently. After our hard work was done, we went back to St. Ignatius to have lunch.
The day was perfect for service because of the pleasant and sunny weather. Although the task was difficult I had a good time. This was because I was serving others. There is a certain feeling you get when you selflessly offer your services to others. The work is both humbling and uplifting at the same time. That is why I do service. That is why I will go back again next year and I hope to see you there.
6800 Detroit Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio
Rating: 4 Paws
Price: $$
Step into the newly opened Sweet Moses at 6800 Detroit Avenue and you will quickly realize that this is not just another collection of vintage looking chairs and a couple of soda fountains falsely claiming to be an authentic throwback to the classic treat shop; this is the real deal. The soda fountain enthusiasts behind the new shop have endlessly toiled at translating a 1920’s and 30’s feel into the modern day to deliver a genuine treat shop experience.
For owner Jeff Moreau, Sweet Moses represents the pinnacle of his vintage soda fountain fandom. Moreau has spent years gathering furnishings to obtain an authentic feel for his shop. He has made numerous visits to towns between Pittsburgh and Chicago, buying chairs, tables, booths, counters, display cases and even a 100 year old artifact bar, all of which were once used in previous soda fountains. Mr. Moreau wanted to make his shop feel authentic and not \”like a soda fountain at Disney World,”
When I began writing for The Eye, I realized that I wasn’t really qualified to be writing for a newspaper. Fortunately, I had been at my local bookstore the day before, and had purchased the book How to Succeed in Journalism Without Really Trying by Sue Purlazie. This book revolutionized my views on journalism and on life in general (See \”Chapter 2: This Book WILL Change Your Life”
