Toledo groups tackling polarization with cross-partisan events
Second of two parts Thinking about the challenges facing American political discourse, Alfonso Narvaez, a self-described community leader in Toledo, harkened back to the words of Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided cannot stand.” Dan Messina, who works with a group focused on creating political dialogue, found inspiration in a different Lincoln quote: “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.” The fact that both men looked to President Lincoln, who guided the nation through its most divisive political moment, for inspiration in the present seems apt as the Pew Research Center reports that Democrats and Republicans feel farther apart than they have in decades.

Sunday Chat with former NCAA champion, Olympic team wrestler Greg Wojciechowski
Without dispute, former wrestling great Greg “Wojo” Wojciechowski is one of the best handful of athletes ever produced by the University of Toledo, or by the city itself. Born to parents Richard and Elaine Wojciechowski in 1951, Greg was a protege of local wrestling icons Dick Torio, Joe Scalzo, and UT coach Dick Wilson while working out as a youth at Torio’s health club. He won back-to-back heavyweight state wrestling championships with unbeaten seasons for Whitmer High School in 1967 and ’68. Because of his three trusted mentors, Wojciechowski chose to wrestle at UT when he could have gone to any program in the country. He posted a 55-2 career record in three seasons for Wilson’s Rockets, reaching the NCAA heavyweight finals each year, winning the national championship as a junior in 1971, and ending as runner-up in 1970 and 1972. Between 1969 and 1979 he also won eight freestyle national AAU championships and five Greco-Roman titles.
