The Reds are finally done paying Ken Griffey Jr.'s endless contract
For most casual baseball fans, July 1st is known as "Bobby Bonilla Day," as the Mets made the ill-advised decision to defer so much of Bonilla's contract that he is getting paid around $1.2 million every July 1 through 2035, even though he last played in a baseball game in 2001. However, Bonilla isn't the only player still getting paid long after he retired, and the Cincinnati Reds just made their last payment on one such deal with one of the best players to ever play the game.

Toledo native first in world to receive innovative new heart valve
For much of her life, Sandie Zaruca knew she had a leaky valve in her heart, but she never imagined that someday she would be helping pioneer her own treatment. In May, the 74-year-old Sylvania resident and former office supply store owner was the first in the world to receive a new type of heart valve, implanted by Dr. Michael Moront, a cardiothoracic surgeon at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. The bioprosthetic valve, called the Avalus Ultra, takes cow tissue and pairs it with medical-grade fabric and a special type of thermoplastic to replicate the function of a human heart valve. Dr. Moront, who was part of the team that helped develop the Avalus Ultra, said he felt comfortable performing the procedure.
New Music Under the Stars season truly rings in summer
The number of Toledo’s outdoor musical venues have increased: the Metroparks, gazebos in city parks, outside of libraries, you name it. But before all these concert venues were even imagined, the biggest venue — outdoor, that is — was the Toledo Zoo Amphitheatre. And for decades, it’s been the setting for listening to music and seeing plays — under the stars — surrounded by the creatures that make music of their own. The series that began with the venue’s inauguration in July, 1936, begins on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. with the 122nd Army Band taking listeners back to the 1980s. The concerts last through Aug. 11. The great amphitheater, along with other structures that make up the city, was built thanks to the largesse of the Works Progress Administration.
