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.

Wet and wild Waterball contests honed firefighters’ hose and nozzle skills
It’s been described as a kind of tug-of–war, but waterball requires a more complex set of skills. Instead of relying on brute strength, firefighters must use teamwork and precision to maneuver the ball to the other side’s court. They must battle to control an unwieldy hose under 90 pounds of pressure and accurately aim the stream to control a 15-pound ball suspended in the air by a cable. The mist created from the battling water streams can be so dense, the hose handler can barely see and must rely on directions from the backup firefighter. In this 1978 Blade archive photo, the Perrysburg Township fire department, left, bested the Waterville fire department in a match played in Whitehouse. The Montezuma, Ohio, fire department won the state competition, which was hosted by the Whitehouse Fire department and attracted 45 teams.
