TPS is hoping voters pass a levy and a bond issue this November
Toledo Public Schools officials say they have kept their promise to voters and have not asked for new money since 2014. The district is now asking voters for additional money as well as approval to issue bonds. Issue 19 is a proposed additional tax levy and a bond issue. The new 3.8-mill, five-year levy is meant to cover the district’s operating expenses. The cost to a homeowner is $133 for each $100,000 in property value. The $99 million in improvement bonds would be used for constructing, adding to, renovating, rehabilitating, remodeling, furnishing, equipping and improving school district buildings and facilities, and clearing, equipping, and otherwise improving sites for those School District buildings and facilities. The bond would be repaid annually over a maximum 30 years. The cost to a homeowner would be $71 for each $100,000 in property value.
Mercy Health celebrates St. Luke’s Hospital legacy with commemoration ceremony
Mercy Health will celebrate the legacy of St. Luke’s Hospital with a public commemoration event showcasing its history and service to the Maumee community. The Saturday ceremony in the hospital auditorium, 5901 Monclova Rd., is open to all former St. Luke’s and Mercy Health associates and the community. The event begins with a 1 p.m. social period, followed by a formal program at 1:30 p.m. with a prayer service, ceremonial flag lowering, and speakers sharing patient stories and historical perspectives. Mercy Health acquired the campus assets in June, 2023 after McLaren Health Care decided to close the hospital and related outpatient services. Since then, Mercy Health has welcomed nearly 400 former St. Luke’s associates and 22 providers. Mercy Health is seeking proposals from developers to implement the next phase in the campus redevelopment, with the goal of an announcement later this year.
Ginny Boggess era under way for Toledo women’s basketball
Wednesday afternoon brought a familiar sight to Savage Arena: the University of Toledo women’s basketball team practicing. But something about the scene felt foreign — for the first time since the George W. Bush administration, Tricia Cullop was not leading drills. A new era of Toledo women’s basketball officially dawned, as Ginny Boggess led the Rockets in their two-hour inauguration of her breakneck offense and grating defense. The head coach's name is different, Sophia Wiard and Quinesha Lockett are gone, and there are seven new freshmen and transfers. The standard, however, is the same. And Boggess isn’t backing down, instead acknowledging the expectations and embracing the forecast.
Bowsher football scores late to win back-and-forth game over Waite
Bowsher quarterback Jordan Singer found Nah'Sohn Triplett in the corner of the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown pass on a 4th-and-11 play with six seconds left to lift the Blue Racers to a 20-18 road victory at Waite on Thursday night. After a 2-point conversion run failed and Waite secured the short kickoff, Bowsher sacked Waite quarterback Carl Foards on the last play of the game to win a back-and-forth City League contest. Waite opened the scoring with a 29-yard TD pass from Shayne Curns to Daveyon Holman on a fourth-down play, but failed to run in the 2-point conversion. With 10 seconds left in the opening quarter, Waite's Damien Harrington turned in a highlight-reel one-handed interception.
Waite LB Harrington's interception takes top spot on ‘SportsCenter’ Top 10
Waite linebacker Damien Harrington’s interception during Thursday’s City League game against Bowsher might have been in a losing effort, as the Blue Racers won the game 20-18, but Harrington’s efforts were definitely rewarded. His INT was named as the No. 1 play on SportsCenter top 10 plays during Thursday night’s show. The sophomore for the Indians rose up and came down with a one-handed snare for an interception with 10 seconds left in the first quarter, and it eventually got the top spot on ESPN. Check back for updates.
