Toledo mayoral debates wind down (The Toledo Blade)
posted on October 28, 2009 at 09:57:30 am
By TOM TROY BLADE POLITICS WRITER The candidates for mayor of Toledo wrapped up a virtual marathon of joint appearances last night in a debate on WTVG-TV, Channel 13, for a face-off that was largely cordial and ended with a hug. Endorsed Democrat Keith Wilkowski and independent Mike Bell have become so used to almost daily forums in the last month that they've sort of taken over the format. When ...

By IGNAZIO MESSINA BLADE STAFF WRITER Mayoral candidate Keith Wilkowski went on the offensive last night during a live televised debate, calling Mike Bell's job-creation plan a mere outline that essentially lacks substance. Mr. Bell shot back by defending his plan as a detailed 25-page document and he also pointed out that Mr. Wilkowski — who again last night promised not to raise taxes — had in ...

Bowsher High School was constructed at the intersection of Glanzman and Detroit in Toledo, Ohio. It is also known as E. L. Bowsher High School. It is part of the Toledo Public Schools.
Background
E. L. Bowsher High School, originally on Detroit Avenue just north of Glanzman Road, opened in September 1961. It was named for Edward Leslie Bowsher (1890-1974), Superintendent of the Toledo Public Schools from the late 1930's until his retirement in 1958. A new structure was built as a replacement at the corner of Detroit and Arlington, about a mile north of the original location, opening for students at the start of the 2008/2009 school year. It is home to the Rebels and has about one thousand four hundred students. The construction of the new school is part of Toledo Public Schools' "Building for Success" program, which aims to renovate the majority of Toledo Public's schools by 2010. The class of 2009 became the first graduating class of the new building. The current Athletic Stadium will stay and not be moved to the new location. As of 2007-2008 the current student body of about 1400 students will be reduced to about 1250 students at the new school as some students will be relocated to other schools.
Rebels
The name "Rebels" has an interesting backstory to it. The name was chosen based on the fact that the school's location is in South Toledo and the fact that the army of the Confederate States of America were called rebels. The mascot is a horseman named "Rowdy" and the school colors are red and Colombia blue. There was controversy over the mascot in the 1980s and into the early 1990s concerning race-based issues and crime rates. In 1992, support groups met to discuss the rebel flag and the school song, Dixie. Apparently, there was some controversy over the use of the flag and the song. The points agreed upon include the following: the name "Rebels" will be retained, the horseman will continue to be the mascot with a slight modification, the rebel flag will not be used in the school or in school events, and the colors will remain the same. In June 1993, a new fight song was adopted.
Bowsher High School is a member of the Toledo City League.
Marching Rebels
Bowsher High School has a marching band, known as the Marching Rebels. They perform at the football games (pregame, halftime, and during the game), the basketball games, known as the Pep Band. The band director is currently Mr. Matt Fritz. Their uniform colors are the same of the school colors, red and Columbia blue
