I spent about 3 plus hours deep watering, weeding and pruning and noticed the new plantings came through this hot weather with minimal damage. Toledo is blooming! Thank you Ronda Sandoval and Linda Bird-Sonne for keeping the gardens and planters around Toledo looking great.

Under the radar: My neighbor linked this letter to the editor from The News Tribune, bound to generate heated debate in education circles. What’s your take on the State’s new health standards regarding gender expression & identity, and sexual orientation being imposed on children as young as 5 years old, without review or discussion?
Toledo School Board of Directors is working with the District to balance new standards with family rights. Board meets 7 p.m. August 24; Special Training 6 p.m. at Toledo Middle School Library. Public invited to attend.

Update - Angela Hill Grove posted: Four months ago, Logan went into the ICU at Mary Bridge Hospital. It was an emotional and crazy time. We were told he would be there for a couple of days and then a couple more and then we were told to prepare for a heart transplant. We were devastated.
Massive amounts of prayers and love surrounded Logan and our family. He left the hospital after 11 days. It was amazing!!
Today, Logan is with his uncle in Arizona, fishing!!! He is doing better than we could have expected!! His vitals are good and he is happy!! We never thought we would be here only four months later.
Don't believe in miracles?? Take a look at Logan! He is proof that God answers prayers.
We don't know what tomorrow brings but today is a good day and we are blessed!
We are forever grateful for all of you and your support!!
