Itching to be a leader: Marjoe Cooper named new Lake superintendent
MILLBURY, Ohio — His father was so taken by the name of the main character of the 1973 Oscar-winning documentary Marjoe that the new superintendent of Lake schools has lived with it all of his life. The film told the story of Marjoe Gortner, a child evangelist and faith healer who was preaching on the Southern tent-revival circuit by the age of 3. Marjoe Cooper learned to own the eccentric name over the years, adopting “Coop” as a nickname. “I don’t have a middle name either. So, you can imagine the ridicule,” he said wryly.

Man pleads not guilty to charges for bicyclist's death on Alexis Road; bond hearing set
A Lucas County judge has scheduled a bond hearing for Monday for a man charged with the July 30 death of a bicyclist he allegedly struck on Alexis Road and then fled the scene. Prosecutors moved last week to increase the bond for Kenneth Pegler, 55, of the 900 block of Mildred Avenue in Temperance, from $100,000 to $500,000 on the grounds he is a flight risk based on statements he made in jailhouse phone calls and tips Toledo police received on their Crime Stoppers hot line stating he planned to flee to Canada. After entering not guilty pleas on his client’s behalf Thursday afternoon in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, defense lawyer Jerome Phillips told Judge Dean Mandros that facts in the prosecutors’ motion were either unsubstantiated or, regarding a statement about Pegler owning property in Canada, false. Judge Mandros scheduled the bond hearing for 11 a.m. Monday and in the interim continued a $750,000 bond he had set Friday in Pegler’s absence following his indictment Thursday by a Lucas County grand jury.

Ohio Mayors Alliance discusses a range of issues in Findlay
FINDLAY — Nearly two dozen mayors from across Ohio gathered in Findlay on Thursday for the Ohio Mayors Alliance regional meeting. The mayors discussed several issues, including public safety, housing, education, and other policy priorities. Afterward, the mayors, including Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz, provided remarks about the meeting and policy discussion. “Sessions like the one we had today reinforce the idea that this is one of the last few remaining truly nonpartisan groups in this country,” Mr. Kapszukiewicz said. “I think the results we have had reflect that.” He noted the impact the group recently had on a veterans’ housing issue by lobbying Congress in April to change the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s policy of penalizing veterans for the benefits they receive.
