Today's riddle: What did the fish say when she hit a wall? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Road Warrior: With another roundabout finished, the next one starts (toledoblade.com) — Drivers in Toledo and surrounding suburbs face a busy week of construction, with a new roundabout project starting near Whitehouse, bridge work affecting routes by Sylvania schools, and multiple lane closures on U.S. 24 and I-75. West Toledo's Douglas Road intersection at State Rt. 51 and Summit Street routes from downtown Toledo to Point Place will see significant restrictions. Plan extra time and check detours if you commute across Lucas and Wood counties.
2. Steering careers: Local leaders connect education to their callings (toledoblade.com) — Toledo-area leaders are sharing how local colleges and institutions like TARTA, the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, the Toledo Lucas County Public Library and Penta Career Center helped shape their careers and community work. Their stories highlight how University of Toledo and Bowling Green experiences, plus early career exploration in area schools, can guide students toward meaningful futures without wasting time or money.
3. Findlay ZIP code has highest amount of unclaimed funds in Ohio (hometownstations.com) — Toledo residents may have millions of dollars in unclaimed funds tied to several local ZIP codes, including 43615, 43606, 43614, 43607, 43613, and 43612. The state is holding this money from forgotten accounts, refunds, and insurance payouts, and you can quickly search for your name and address at unclaimedfunds.ohio.gov to see if any belongs to you.
4. Parents of girl killed in alleged hazing incident at Wilberforce University seek change after daughter's death (wtol.com) — A Toledo family is mourning 18-year-old Scott High School graduate Savanna Jones, who died in April while a freshman at Wilberforce University, and has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit alleging an alcohol-related hazing event. Her parents, speaking from Toledo, are pushing for accountability and broader conversations about hazing so other Ohio families don't endure a similar loss, while emphasizing the vibrant, caring daughter they remember.
5. World War II veteran Dick Feusse Is 100 Years Old (toledofreepress.com) — Waterville resident and World War II veteran Dick Feusse, now 100, will help lead this year's Roche de Boeuf Festival parade as one of 20 honored veterans. After moving to Waterville in 1990, he became deeply involved in local church and community life and once took an Honor Flight from Toledo Express Airport to visit Washington's war memorials. His story highlights both his service and his long ties to the area.
