Data center restrictions gain momentum across northwest Ohio
Successful citizen-led ballot initiatives limiting the size of data centers have led to a flurry of activity in other Toledo-area municipalities since the Nov. 3 election, including Whitehouse, Waterville, and Rossford. Volunteers turned over signed petitions for those three communities on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, respectively. They claim they gathered more than enough signatures for the Lucas County Board of Elections to certify them and require each of those municipalities to put similar ballot issues in front of voters in those communities. Next up are Perrysburg, Maumee, and Bowling Green. Toledo, which would need many more signatures because of its size, could eventually be targeted as well, said Lyn Cox, county lead for Conserve Ohio’s grassroots efforts in Lucas and Wood counties. Petitions have come back from printers for Perrysburg and Maumee, and are expected to be available in the next day or two for Bowling Green, she said. In the coming weeks, citizen-led ballot initiatives also will begin in Sylvania and Holland, Ms. Cox said. The activity comes in the aftermath of Oregon’s overwhelming vote in favor of a charter amendment that bans the construction of data centers that require 25 megawatts or more of electricity, which eliminates hyperscale

Luna Pier non-profit offers free sailing for cancer patients
A Luna Pier non-profit is offering a temporary escape on the water for those suffering from cancer. Since 2024, Serenity Sailing, founded by Robin Cutcher, offers free sailing excursions for people with cancer and their loved ones. Cutcher was inspired when her husband, Greg, was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2021. While searching for resources, she found Sail Beyond Cancer, an organization that offered something similar. However, they didn't take the opportunity before her husband passed away in April 2023. "And then a few months after that, I kind of revisited this organization, Sail Beyond Cancer, started looking at their different websites, and thought perhaps we could use our boat, that I really wasn’t comfortable sailing by myself," Cutcher said. Initially, she wanted to open a Sail Beyond Cancer chapter in Monroe County, but those with the organization she spoke with didn't think it would be successful. So, with the help of John Miga, a member of the Jolly Roger Sailing Club in Toledo's Point Place neighborhood, she launched Serenity Sailing. In its inaugural year, there were 11 excursions serving about 40 people. In the 2025 and 2026 seasons, the organization served 120 people each. "I initially, especially, was working something
