New authority takes shape for Timbers Town Center redevelopment
A new community authority overseeing the $89 million redevelopment of the former Shops at Fallen Timbers in Maumee has approved an agreement outlining responsibility for maintaining streets and sidewalks at the shopping center. The Timbers Town Center Community Authority’s seven-member board of trustees approved the infrastructure maintenance agreement at its organizational meeting Thursday, along with bylaws and other measures establishing how the authority will operate. Under the agreement, the city would take over the development’s streets and sidewalks, while the developer would remain responsible for their upkeep. The authority could help cover some of those maintenance costs. The agreement comes as Timbers Town Center Ltd., a consortium of developers with ties to Columbus’ Easton Town Center, prepares to revitalize the struggling shopping center. The group purchased the property in July for $17.3 million and plans to invest approximately $89 million, including the acquisition cost, in the redevelopment. Plans include repairing deteriorating streets and sidewalks, attracting new retail and restaurant tenants, and potentially adding about 230 apartments. Much of the redevelopment work is expected to take place in 2027. Greg Daniels, an attorney for the development consortium, said the new authority will oversee financing matters and determine how its funds are

Deputy fire chief placed on paid leave after harassment complaint
A high-ranking Toledo Fire & Rescue Department officer is on paid leave after being accused of sexually harassing behavior. Deputy Chief Danny Brown-Martinez is the subject of an ongoing internal investigation and is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome, said Sheldon Collins, a department spokesman. “Consistent with departmental policy and the collective bargaining agreement, the department will not comment on the specific allegations, circumstances, or details of an ongoing internal investigation,” Mr. Collins said. City spokesman Amy Voigt had no further comment Friday about the disciplinary proceedings. Peter Pattakos, lawyer for Chief Brown-Martinez, said the allegations arose while his client was on medical leave and involve an accuser with an incentive to lie about him. “This involves a public servant with nearly 30 years of exemplary service and no prior disciplinary history,” Mr. Pattakos said. “...There are substantial concerns about how this matter has been handled and whether he has been afforded due process and a fair opportunity to respond.” The attorney said he expects Chief Brown-Martinez to ultimately be vindicated of any wrongdoing.

Hilliard Darby football upsets Whitmer on the road in Division I regionals
As the No. 1 seed in the Division I, Region 2 playoffs, Whitmer football used a familiar formula to build up a 9-1 regular-season record: dominate the run game. The very formula, which made Whitmer so difficult to beat, was used instead against the Panthers in the second round of the Division I playoffs as they fell 24-21 to No. 8 seed Hilliard Darby on Friday. “Running the style of offense they run in that Wing-T, it’s something we’re not used to seeing defensively,” Whitmer head coach Justin Keller said. “In order to be a successful Wing-T team, you have to be able to have multiple guys carry the ball, and they did that very effectively tonight.” The Hilliard Darby Panthers (8-4) dominated time of possession, especially in the second half, and had two running backs in seniors Kohen Kornegay and Braylon Griffith combine for 163 yards and a touchdown. The game-defining drive came in the fourth quarter when Darby, who was trailing 14-10 at the time, held possession for more than eight minutes and capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown on fourth down from Kornegay at the 2:26 mark. Keller said he could only watch from the

Another lawsuit filed over North Toledo chemical leak
Another lawsuit been filed in the aftermath of last month’s airborne chemical leak from MC Tank Transport in North Toledo. The latest case involves eight plaintiffs of record. Molly A. Ebraheim, an attorney representing them, said more are likely to be added as part of an amended complaint. “We are not bringing it as a class action. We are bringing it as a multi-plaintiff claims case,” she said. “Our clients are just choosing to bring their own individual claims.” Ms. Ebraheim is one of three attorneys in the Maumee office of Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy Co. who are working on that case. A 19-page complaint they filed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court states that each of their clients “suffered harm different in kind from that suffered by the general public, including displacement costs, lost wages, medical treatment, and property impacts.” The plaintiffs are Larry Sanchez, Kenyada Hooks, Kapreece Sims, Eric Walker, Bryan Smith, Felix Abalos, Michael Sims, and Timothy Myers. All are from Toledo except Michael Sims, who lives in Sacramento, and Mr. Myers, who lives in Eastlake, Ohio.

Beverly development decision delayed after community testimony
Final approval was postponed Thursday on a plan from Maumee Valley Habitat Humanity to build nine houses on a South Toledo lot. “Would you consider deferring this case for 60 days so that you can ... not just go to previously scheduled meetings, but actually work with the plan commission staff to schedule a public meeting specifically about this project?” Brandon Rehkopf, chairman of the Toledo City Plan Commission, asked the CEO of the nonprofit. “Let the neighborhood come and answer questions and then consider based on the feedback if there are any potential amendments in this plan for this body to consider,” he said. The plan commission’s meeting Thursday was conducted before a pretty close to full house of attendees at One Government Center. Many attending the meeting were residents of the Beverly neighborhood where the houses are set to be built. The project is on the site of the old Beverly Elementary School at 4022 Rugby Dr. That building was torn down in 2012 and the land has been vacant since. Of the nine houses, two would be sold on the open market while the other seven would be sold to Habitat homeowners through the organization’s homeownership program.

Man sues for $20 million after Old West End shooting charges dropped
Attorneys for Eljay Crisp-Carr, who was accused of participating in a gunfight at the Old West End Festival in June, have filed a $20 million federal lawsuit against the city of Toledo and Lucas County after prosecutors dropped the charges against him Friday. The complaint, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Western Division, alleges unconstitutional arrest, detention and searches, malicious prosecution, misleading identification evidence, and failure to disclose information concerning another suspect. Crisp-Carr is seeking $10 million in compensatory damages and an additional $10 million in punitive damages. On Friday, Jennifer Liptack-Sutphin, the chief of criminal prosecution for the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, told Judge Lori Olender in Lucas County Common Pleas Court that because of “new and developing evidence,” the charges against Crisp-Carr, 20, should be dismissed. The shooting happened in front of the Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum at Delaware and Robinwood avenues, a busy part of the festival where several food trucks were parked. During a June 18 court hearing , Toledo Police Detective Danielle Mooney estimated there were at least 75 to 100 other people in the proximity of the gunfire. She told the court that, at that point in the
