After 92 consecutive years of fielding a football team, Fostoria St. Wendelin will not field a team because of low participation numbers.  The Mohawks were down to 13 players while looking at possibly adding another in the second week of the season, but the school’s administration decided not to go forward with the season.  The primary concern of the school was to have enough players the safely play each week.
 

Crawford Street in downtown Findlay will soon become a one-way street with reverse-angle parking.  From Main Street, traffic will flow one-way west on West Crawford Street, and one-way east on East Crawford Street.  Reverse-angle parking will be added to the south side of the street, while parallel parking will remain along the north side.  The changes will add 36 more parking spots to Crawford Street, city officials say.  According to Findlay Safety Service Director Paul Schmelzer, Crawford Street was chosen because it doesn’t have as much traffic as some other streets parallel to it.

The former Varsity Lanes building in Bowling Green was razed Tuesday but there is no plan for the property at this time.  Behavioral Connections bought the former bowling alley at 1033 S. Main St. in August 2013 as a possible location to consolidate its offices that are spread around Bowling Green.  Shortly after it merged with Harbor Behavioral Health for financial reasons the following year, Behavioral Connections’ CEO said developing the property still remained a “genuine, high-probability possibility,” but that it could be sold if it didn’t meet its needs.
