CharterContinued from Page B1public charter school cater-ing to students with disabil-ities, hopes to open this fallat the Hampton Park Chris-tian Church of Toledo,4234 Monroe St. The finan-cially distressed churchproposes selling the build-ing to the school and thenleasing back part of thebuilding to continue its op-erations.

Mr. Anderson wasamong five neighborhoodcritics attending the hear-ing about the school’s re-quest for a special-use per-mit, along with larger num-bers of church membersand other supporters of thenew school.

Dr. Janice Carson, thehead of a neighborhoodblock watch who livesseven houses away, com-plained that no written in-formation or fact sheetswere provided to residentsat a June 27 meeting.

Others echoed her pro-test about insufficient in-formation, but City Coun-cilman Tom Waniewskisaid he has been as openand communicative aspossible.

The Rev. Sarah Richeysaid Hampton Park will beruined financially if it can-not sell the building, andother alternative buyerscould include larger con-gregations that would at-

tract even heavier traffic.Noting that he lives just

three doors away, Mr.Waniewski said he appreci-ates neighbors’ concerns,but had carefully evaluatedthe proposal and found itsbenefits to outweigh itsproblems. Traffic, he said,is likely to be an issue forjust 15 minutes in themorning and again in theafternoon.

“We have a beautifulchurch with which therewill still be some congrega-tional activity going on, andthat’s a good thing. To al-low the school there willkeep that building from be-ing boarded up, blighted,or becoming a bar. I can’ttell you how many barcomplaints I get, and Idon’t want any more barsin the district,” he said.

State officials alreadyhave approved a charter forthe school, whose leadershave lined up a sponsoragency and organized aschool board.

Earlier in its meeting, thezoning committee heard aspecial-use applicationfrom Rudolph/Libbe for asolar-panel array in SouthToledo.

Jason Slattery, a directorof solar at Rudolph/Libbe,asked the committee to ap-prove a special-use permitfor the vacant, 22-acre for-mer Haughton Elevatorproperty at 671 Spencer St.,northeast of the ToledoZoo and along the Anthony

Wayne Trail.The Lake Township-

based company an-nounced plans in June tobuild a 2-megawatt solararray, which will includeabout 25,000 solar panelson 15 acres.

The array is projected toprovide the zoo with about30 percent of its electricityonce it begins providingpower in 2014.

Mr. Slattery said thecompany had accepted 13conditions for the site whileasking city council to ap-prove a waiver for fencestopped with barbed wirearound the site for safetyand security.

Two previous proposalsfor redeveloping that sitehave been rejected by thecity.

Mr. Craig said the prop-erty needs a lot of work andneighbors would welcomethe solar array.

No one objected to itduring the committeemeeting.

The committee voted torecommend both permitsbe approved when CityCouncil next meets onTuesday.

Three Dundee residentshave been charged in con-nection with the incident.

After the discovery, thegrandfather called Dundeepolice, who responded tothe restaurant.

While there, officers iden-tified a 23-year-old em-ployee who reportedly ad-mitted to bringing the drugand pipe to work.

Two other males fromDundee, 18 and 20, alsowere identified as being con-nected to the incident.

One of the men is a formeremployee of the sameBurger King location.

Drugs also were found in avehicle in the Burger Kingparking lot.

Names of the suspects willnot be released until theprosecutor has filed charges,he said.

Chief Uhl said it is unclearhow the pipe and marijuanamade their way into the kid’smeal packaging.

“He hid it somewhere inthe store. We’re not quitesure how it ended up inthere.

“Somehow, somebodypicked it up and stuck it inthere when they were pack-aging up the food,” he said.

“It is definitely strange,”he said.

The heat is on — still.For the second straight

day, the National WeatherService has issued a heatadvisory today in north-west Ohio and southeastMichigan, cautioningabout heat and humiditythat, combined, will feellike 100 degrees or hotter.

The heat index Wednes-day topped out at 100shortly before 5 p.m., whilethe day’s high temperatureat Toledo Express Airport,93 degrees, was reached at3:59 p.m., the weather ser-vice reported.

Similar conditions wereforecast for today and Fri-day before cooler, drierweather arrives, with a highof 80 predicted for Sunday.

Wednesday’s swelteringconditions prompted offi-cials to issue tips on pre-venting heat-related ill-nesses, and the Area Officeon Aging of NorthwesternOhio Inc. lengthened thehours at some LucasCounty centers that pro-

vide air-conditioned reliefto residents.

“We just try to give thema little bit of a break. Wealso encourage people togo to other public placeslike shopping malls and

movie theaters,” said Emi-lie Owens, the agency’semergency coordinator.

“The danger for olderpeople truly is dehydrationand heat stroke and heatexhaustion.”

Officials continued towarn of heat dangers. TheToledo-Lucas CountyHealth Department urgeddrinking more f luids,avoiding liquids with caf-feine, alcohol, or highamounts of sugar, and stay-ing indoors and reducingexercise.

Those with asthma,chronic obstructive pulmo-

nary disease, and otherbreathing ailments shouldtake precautions.

Toledo’s Division of En-vironmental Services saidthe region’s smog-formingozone level could be trou-blesome for people mostsensitive to air pollution.

Many factors drive upozone, including heat andstagnant air. Levels are ex-pected to be satisfactoryFriday.

The precautionary warn-ing for today is the first forthe Lucas-Wood countyarea since June 23-24.

Wednesday’s heat ledthe Toledo-Lucas CountyPublic Library to move theBrown Bag Summer Con-cert Series performance in-doors to the air condition-ing from the Main Library’sNorth Lawn.

Its spokesman, RhondaSewell, said the library de-cided to “play it safe”because of the high heat in-dex.
