Douglas Neckers: Easter Island and Toledo
Doug Neckers
One of the valuable gifts older people contribute to society is a collective memory about personalities and events that occurred in a community in the past. My own collective memory about some fascinating Toledo-area people, who tangled in an epic lawsuit, surfaced a few weeks ago. That lawsuit went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
My memory got an unexpected jog when I watched, as I usually do, Judy Woodruff s PBS News Hour program.
A final story from her Arts Canvas featured the classical pianist Mahani Teave, 38, who grew up on Easter Island, part of Polynesia. About 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile, it is one of the most remote places on Earth. Called Rapa Nui in the Polynesian language, the island has a population of barely 7,000 people. It s famous for those mysterious giant stone statues, the moai, created by the ancient Rapa Nui people.

More than one-third of the world’s heat deaths each year are due directly to global warming, according to the latest study to calculate the human cost of climate change.
But scientists say that’s only a sliver of climate’s overall toll even more people die from other extreme weather amplified by global warming such as storms, flooding and drought and the heat death numbers will grow exponentially with rising temperatures.
Dozens of researchers who looked at heat deaths in 732 cities around the globe from 1991 to 2018 calculated that 37% were caused by higher temperatures from human-caused warming, according to a study Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

MANSFIELD - Madison Comprehensive High School had more valedictorians in its class of 2021 than most schools have in several years combined: 17 valedictorians, each with a 4.0 grade point average.
Principal Sean Conway said it was the most valedictorians in school history. It was an unbelievable class of talented kids and not just skilled academically but also athletically, he said. They were all very, very special kids, said Conway.
There were over 200 graduates in the class of 2021, he said. The graduation ceremony had been scheduled for Friday night in the football stadium but bad weather moved it to indoors on Saturday night.
