To the editor: Democrats must act on voters’ expectations
Congratulations, not only to the Democrats, but to the American people! You have decided that hope and togetherness beats hate and division every time. The Republicans preached nothing but hate and name calling in all their political ads. Not once did they propose a plan to better the American people. Now the Democrats need to deliver on their promise, to make our lives better. We need a government that is for all of the people, all of the time. What we don’t need is a government that is only out to enrich themselves and their cronies! Now is the time to end the tyrannical MAGA cult! JERRY WELKER Maumee Read more letters to the editor City needs to take down vacant home It’s sad and not good for Toledo to fail at passing the income tax for police/fire and safety programs. Here is a potential reason for which I will give an answer. I live on Mansfield Road near Sherbrooke Road and on my block neighbors for the most part take care of their homes. However the city of Toledo acts like they couldn’t care less. Not just my street but throughout the city. We have a horrible, dangerous abandoned

Toledo women's rally falls short against Michigan State before big crowd at Savage Arena
With a Big Ten opponent and a big crowd, the stage was set for a big afternoon Saturday at Savage Arena. Michigan State had other ideas. A fast Toledo start and a spirited late rally weren't quite enough as the Rockets came up short, 72-64, before a crowd of 4,543. UT (0-2) ultimately had few answers for Michigan State star guard Kennedy Blair, who had a game-high 28 points and 11 rebounds to help the Spartans (2-0) build an 18-point lead in the third quarter and hold off a late push by the hosts. Jyah LoVett led Toledo with 16 points; Kendall Carruthers and Evalyse Cole added 14 and 12 points, respectively. “Thank you to everyone who came out today,” Toledo coach Ginny Boggess said. “An incredible crowd for a very good opponent. We thank Robyn [Fralick] and her team for coming down. Not a lot of people want to play at Savage. It was a hard-fought battle. We’ve got to fix the obvious things: fouling, turnovers … but a really good fight. We prepared like we always do to fight to defend the home court, and we just fell a little short.” Fralick — who spent five successful seasons

2026 Week 10 scouting report: Toledo football vs. Massachusetts
College football teams often develop their identity around an explosive offense, a physical defense, or a dominant running game. For Toledo, however, the path to victory has looked different almost every week and Wednesday’s game at Sacramento State was much the same as the Rockets snuck past the Hornets on the road, 20-17. “We needed 600 yards and 45 points to beat Western Michigan, and on Wednesday we needed a couple of big defensive stops, and we got just enough to win,” Toledo head coach Mike Jacobs said. With every weeknight MACtion game except one being decided by one score so far this season, the Rockets (7-2, 4-1 Mid-American Conference) will be tested again when they take on Massachusetts (5-4, 2-3 MAC) on Wednesday. Sophomore cornerback Israel Petite said coming off of a gritty win that came down to the wire will only help the defense as a whole remain poised if a similar situation presents itself against the Minutemen. “It gives us a lot of confidence because we’ve been in those situations many times,” Petite said. “We practice all different situations whether it be first down, second down, third downs, fourth downs, or two minutes, so especially in games,

High school boys soccer regionals: St. Francis heads to state for 1st time in 23 years
LIMA, Ohio — St. Francis de Sales soccer continued its magical season on Sunday with a 3-0 victory over Kings Mills Kings in a Division II regional final to clinch its first trip to state since 2003 at Lima Shawnee High School. It was the 17th shutout of the season put up by the Knights, who improved to 17-0-4 on the year with the win. Heitor Derlann had two of the St. Francis goals while Cayden Gordy banged in the other. Derlann made it 1-0 just three minutes into the game. That margin held until the 35:08 mark in the first half, when Gordy extended the lead to 2-0 which would be the halftime margin. Derlann’s second of the game with 13:39 remaining put it out of reach. St. Francis is set to take on Avon at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Clyde High School in a state semifinal. DIVISION IV WORTHINGTON CHRISTIAN 2, LIBERTY-BENTON 1 MARION, Ohio — Liberty-Benton let a first-half lead slip away in its loss to Worthington Christian. The Warriors secured the game-winning goal with 1:14 to play as Nolan Schoonover redirected a corner kick into the net. Trevor Gebhardt scored the Liberty-Benton goal with help of

Welcome Christmas: Bay View Yacht Club headlines The Blade's 39th Holiday Parade
This year’s Blade Holiday Parade will feature a different type of grand marshal with the Bay View Yacht Club receiving the honor. Heather Pacheco, The Blade’s associate director of events, said the Point Place-based boating organization has been an avid supporter of the holiday parade for years and organizers wanted to give them some recognition. “This is, I believe, their 14th year,” Ms. Pacheco said. “They put on a huge presentation with their Whoville float and everyone dresses the part of Dr. Seuss. They raise money throughout the year to hand out Dr. Seuss books to all the attendees and all the kids that come out. It is a really great, interactive way for them to be a part of the community.” Ms. Pacheco acknowledged how rare it is to choose a group to be the grand marshal of the parade, which occurs Saturday. Previous years have seen in the role Broadway couple Libby Servais and Stephan Stubbins, chef and restaurateur Kengo Kato, and the combination of Earl Mack, Jr., and Charles Heiser in 2023 when the event fell on Veterans Day. “We just felt they did such a good job as a community partner,” Ms. Pacheco said of Bay
