Firefighters put out fire at Erie Steel Treating in west Toledo
TOLEDO, Ohio — Firefighters were engaged for much of the night on Saturday at Erie Steel Treating in west Toledo. Crews were called to the Jackman Road facility around 8 p.m. Toledo Fire and Rescue says the fire broke out when one of the machines in the northwest corner...
Jerjuan Newton is Toledo's North Star, on and off the field
The box score from the University of Toledo’s 38-23 win over Massachusetts on Saturday told an incomplete story. Yes, Jerjuan Newton had one reception for 40 yards — a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him touchdown. But his value to the Rockets runs much deeper than a touchdown pass. The senior wide receiver was elected a team captain for the third time this season, becoming the first three-time captain during Jason Candle’s head-coaching tenure. Why?
Game-changing sequence lifts Toledo Rockets past UMass, 38-23
The University of Toledo needed a wake-up call, and Jacquez Stuart provided it in the form of a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown just before halftime. Then, with a lethargic offense running in place during the third quarter, cornerback Braden Awls handed UT a silver platter of momentum after a diving, one-handed interception. On the next play, Tucker Gleason connected with Junior Vandeross III for a career-long 73-yard touchdown pass, and the Rockets blasted off for a 38-23 victory over Massachusetts. “Those were two huge plays,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said. “There’s no doubt about that.”
Sign Language & Chess event aims to unify community
Justice Blackshear, 9, found herself caught in a battle of wits against her brother, Chaneler Blackshear, 10, while playing a game of chess. The siblings were among others putting their skills to the test at a community event organized by Keith Carswell’s Sign Language & Chess group Saturday at St. Martin de Porres Church, 1119 Bancroft St. The Blackshears have attended the group for a number of years, with Chaneler saying he likes the competition of a game of chess, while Justice appreciates, “Communicating with the deaf people.” Scrolling through a few phrases Saturday, Justice used her hands to sign a few letters and then the signs for “thank you,” “sorry,” and “pencil.”
Perrysburg’s Marcus Blaze goes 3-1 on first day of U20 world wrestling championships
PONTEVEDRA, Spain — Marcus Blaze, the 2023 U17 world champion and Perrysburg High School wrestling standout, was dealt his first international loss on Saturday. Wrestling at the U20 World Championships in Spain for Team USA in the men's freestyle at 61 kilograms, Blaze suffered a 7-2 loss to Masanosuke Ono of Japan in the semifinal after seven straight wins over two age-group World Championships. He won his first three matches Saturday to reach the semifinals. Blaze and Ono matched each other for style, and it was only in the final seconds when Blaze could penetrate his opponent's defense and score a takedown for two points. Out of the seven points Ono scored, three were escapes, and one was for Blaze's passivity in the first period. Team USA coach J'den Cox explained that an early start against Ono could have been the difference.
New downtown Toledo spot open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
A recognizable downtown Toledo building - home to many former restaurants over the years - has a new owner offering a new type of food there. Ameed Ridi is the owner of Sam’s Mediterranean Grill at 332 N. Erie St., which gives off a ’50s diner-style theme from its exterior. Mr. Ridi said he’s thrilled to finally be open downtown. “I really like the downtown area,” he said. “It is loaded with friendly people, which is why I decided to come here. When I came in 2015, the downtown was not as busy as it is now. The city has put a lot of money into the area, and we should all be supporting this area.” Mr. Ridi is originally from Palestine. He earned a degree in accounting at the University of Jordan, in Amaan, before coming to Toledo. Mr. Ridi worked with his brother for two years at his brother’s gas station. He then ran one of the convenience stores before having the money to open his location.
