Fremont mayor critical of court's leniency of man who threatened him
FREMONT – Judge number three took the bench at the Fremont Municipal Court Nov. 3 in the case of the man who left a threatening voicemail for Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez . The man who said Sanchez was on a hit list paced back and forth outside the courtroom door, periodically sitting on the bench with victims and other offenders. His sentencing for aggravated menacing and telecommunications harassment, both first-degree misdemeanors, was to take place Nov. 3. The man pleaded guilty to the charges Sept. 15. Sentencing was delayed for at least 30 days for a previously ordered pre-sentence investigation. The probation department that conducts them was not informed of the court order, so did not conduct the investigation. Under Marsy’s Law, also known as the Ohio Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights, the probation officers include a victim’s impact statement outlining how the crime affected the victim's life. Meanwhile, an increasingly irritated Sanchez stood outside the courthouse giving a laundry list of problems with the case and argued some probable violations of Marsy's Law occurred. “I don’t think I’ve been represented fairly in this case as a victim,” Sanchez said. “I don’t feel I deserve any special treatment, but I

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

Woodmore played the first postseason home game in program history. Visiting Delta, however, spoiled the mood with a 28-0 victory over the Wildcats in Division VI. Woodmore had the ball for only eight possessions, including one with 16 seconds left in the first half.

Delta added two scores within a 1 minute span in the second half, including a touchdown on defense with an interception. High school cross country girls Lily Kiser runs with Ross history in her heart Coach Scott Stecher knew Woodmore would have to capitalize when it had the ball. "Being old school, time of possession is huge," he said. "We ran six plays in the first half. That hurt. Scoring first didn't concern us. We've been there. We had opportunities, to score and make it a game at the end of the first half and coming out with the ball to start the second half. "We didn't cash in."
