CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers will be without point guard Mo Williams for four-to-six weeks due to a sprained left shoulder.

Williams suffered the injury Tuesday against Toronto, but returned to action.

The All-Star point guard was examined by Cavaliers head team physician Dr. Richard Parker and the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Mark Schickendantz. He also underwent an MRI at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health.

The Cavaliers planned on starting Delonte West in place of Williams on Thursday night against the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

President Barack Obama’s visit to Lorain County on Friday is billed as the second stop on the “White House to Main Street Tour,” the first being Allentown, Pa., in December.

He’s pledged to meet with workers who have lost their jobs, business owners and workers during the trip to an area that’s been hard hit by the national recession.

Regardless of how many people actually get to bend the president’s ear, we’re pretty sure there will be plenty who won’t have such an opportunity.

So that’s why we are asking you to write and tell us what you’d say to the president given the opportunity. We plan on publishing them prior to his visit, so get moving — we’ll need them in our hands by Wednesday to get them into the paper.

For his part in saving the life of a 66-year-old woman trapped in a burning car, Elyria Police officer Scott Willis was awarded a certificate of commendation from the Gates Mills Police Department.

The accident happened on Tuesday, Nov. 10, shortly before 7:30 p.m. Willis said he was heading home after working a shift in Elyria when he came upon the burning vehicle.

At first glance, Willis said he almost kept driving.

But he didn’t when he learned a woman was trapped inside. He jumped from his car and helped officers rescue the woman.

Willis said he stayed with her until firefighters arrived.

His assistance was invaluable, said Gates Mills Police Lt. Ron Whitmer.

“He is a definite credit to the uniform and law enforcement,” he said.
