Local Democrats praise Biden's decision, ready for new candidate
After Joe Biden announced Sunday afternoon that he was suspending his presidential re-election campaign, Democrats in Toledo, Lucas County, and Ohio expressed both gratitude to the President and excitement to rally behind his ballot replacement. “My first reaction was to thank the President for this major sacrifice,” state Sen. Paula Hicks-Hudson (D., Toledo) said. “As someone who has reached such a pinnacle of success and then seeing that it’s for the good of the country, for the good of the party that he stepped aside.” Mr. Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place atop the Democratic Party ticket “makes good sense,” Ms. Hicks-Hudson said. “Not only has she been his partner for the last four years, she’s actually probably the most qualified of all the candidates,” the state senator said.

Dana Open comes to Highland Meadows for 35th time
It’s a milestone year for the Dana Open, as the LPGA event celebrates its 40th anniversary and status as the second-longest-running non-major championship. This is also the 35th playing at Highland Meadows, the Sylvania golf club that has grown synonymous with the Jamie Farr-turned-Marathon Classic-turned-Dana Open, hosting many of the tournament’s greatest moments. “Highland Meadows membership, it is a great partnership,” Dana Open tournament director Judd Silverman said. “As successful partnerships go, both parties understand each other’s needs, and we’ve always been able to work it out. I just couldn’t be more appreciative of the support that the club has provided the tournament through the years. I think it’s been a win-win situation, and no partnership is going to last that long if it’s not.” The Jamie Farr Toledo Classic began in 1984 at Glengarry Country Club (now Stone Oak), where it remained until moving to Highland Meadows in 1989. A burned-down clubhouse and Glengarry’s sale to Cavalear Corporation factored into the course change. The marriage has been positive for both sides, evidenced by the length. One tournament at a single course for more than three decades on the LPGA Tour is unheard of.

Wannasaen, 20, took home $262,500 for her victory from the overall $1.75 million purse.
