July 22, 2024 11 Investigates; Trailer park blight | Processing recent traumatic events
For more than two years, WTOL’s 11 Investigates team has looked into the blight issue in the city of Toledo. There
are hundreds of homes that are uncared for or abandoned. And many times,
the owners simply don't pay their real estate taxes.

But there’s something our team has never experienced before… a series of properties that have seemingly slipped under the radar of state and city officials including a trailer park off the Anthony Wayne Trail.
BRIAN DUGGAR | 11 Investigates lead
reporter
Processing and dealing with traumatic events shown
on TV, including the recent assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump. How to help children who can be confused about what they see and how adults
can deal with the trauma itself and the stress of explaining it to their children.

June 30, 2024 Leading Edge | Uses of Base Molecular Resonance, Teaching Teachers AI - June 30, 2024
Base Molecular Resonance
Bo Short | Base Molecular Resonance Technologies
Lee Duke | Base Molecular Resonance Technologies

Touting it as a piece of technology with applications in military, medical, and security - BMRT contends
that its Base Molecular Resonance tool will give those who have cancer and don’t know it more time - it will give schools, malls, governmental building a much more advance warning to molecules in guns - and it will warn border control agents of illegal drugs and/or dangerous weapons.

The investors say the technology is still two years away from being available commercially - but they
believe it will be a game changer when it comes to more than 200 forms of cancer.

Teaching Teachers AI
Chelsea Chandler, Ph.D. -
BGSU | Associate Dir. | Center for Faculty Excellence

Dr. Chandler is helping to lead discussions and trainings with BGSU faculty and staff on how the technology can be used and implemented ethically and responsibly in both
academics and work. She’s also providing high-level insight on how the learning community is adapting to the semi-new technology overall, much like many other
colleges and universities.

June 23, 2024 Rossford Schools and the benefits of business; the state of politics in Ohio
Rossford Schools and the benefits of business
Dan Creps | Superintendent = Rossford Schools
Mayor Neil MacKinnon | Rossford
Northwest Ohio is an interesting study when it comes to
its schools. As of late, a suburban Toledo district that’s been growing by leaps and bounds over the last two decades doesn’t have room for more kids - and voters have turned down two straight levy requests. The money to ease overcrowding - according to Perrysburg Schools - isn’t there. And the schools say - despite the failure of these ballot issues - the townships and city continue to approve new developments and multifamily units that will lead to adding more students - and the schools cannot turn students away. The schools say money is a problem - and apparently the tax base isn’t taking care of it.
Now - juxtapose that with what’s happening just a few
miles away in Rossford. A smaller town - Perrysburg’s population is about 25k … Rossford is more than 6k - but in a town - where schools aren’t bursting at the seams - business and industry is flooding the schools with cash … and a lot of it.
Ohio’s political temperature
David DeWitt | Editor-in-Chief | Ohio Capital Journal
Ohio’s been important in most, if not
all, presidential election years. But, much like the talk of tornado alley shifting – we are seeing trends that Ohio’s importance in determining the outcome is waning. Why is that?

NCAA Revenue Sharing and Lawsuit Settlement

Stewart Mandell | College Football Editor-in-Chief | The Athletic

We are living through what will undoubtedly be the redefining of college sports as we know it. The NCAA is about to not only settle a series of multi-million dollar lawsuits, but also embark on a revenue sharing program that will see Power 5 conference teams (Big Ten included) flooded with $20 million dollars a year to distribute to its players. Will the settlement have any impact on mid-major schools like UT or BGSU?
