To the editor: Say it ain’t so, Blade
Call me old fashioned, a relic of the past, sentimental, or just an old shoe but I’m someone who still enjoys my morning newspaper, these days with a good cup of coffee. And, my life journey with The Blade has been just that. For someone whose entire life has been intertwined with our local newspaper, the thought of it being gone is very hard to comprehend but not difficult to understand. For me it began in the late 1950s with reading the funny papers. In those days, there were The Toledo Blade and Toledo Times. So, there was always plenty of old newspapers around the house to wrap a casserole in, use as kindling, or to dispose of fish cleanings. Plus, local reporting was a staple which created lots of opportunities for area kids to get their picture in the paper. Read more letters to the editor Like many in Toledo, I had a Blade route. Better to have that one than a Times route, which entailed getting up very early and completing your task before sunrise and school. Had the big basket on my bike, could fold a newspaper tightly and as fast as anyone at the station on

New Toledo police chief takes reins amid budget challenges
Michael Troendle, who retired Nov. 1 as Toledo police chief, reflected for a moment about not being the city’s top cop anymore. “It’s a surreal feeling after being in the department for 33 years,” he said. “This has been my entire adult life.” Kevin Braun, previously assistant chief, took over as chief Nov. 2. “Change is good,” Mr. Troendle said. “Chief Braun will have newer ideas. That is a good thing. Me leaving opens up opportunities for some of our younger officers to be promoted. You’re breathing in new blood, and that’s a good thing for an organization. I’m excited to see what Kevin does with the department.” Chief Braun, 47, called his new job challenging. “We’ve been lucky enough to have a three-month transition period from the time of the announcement in July,” Chief Braun said. Mr. Troendle has been his mentor, he said. “We worked so closely together. So the transition period was much longer than three months,” Chief Braun said. “I feel about as prepared as a person could feel going into a job. But the reality is, I’ve never been chief here before. I still have a lot to learn.” Top priorities Chief Braun said his
