YOUNGSTOWN

Burgan Real Estate, real-estate partner of Youngstown State University athletics, on Thursday launched the second year of a promotion in which the company will offer fans at select YSU men’s and women’s home basketball games the chance to have Burgan pay their mortgage for a year.

The Better with Burgan Mortgage Mania Challenge Sweepstakes will take place at halftime at five games this season.

“Last year’s Better with Burgan Mortgage Mania Challenge garnered national attention as a lucky fan made a half-court shot to have their mortgage paid for the entire year. We hope this year’s Better with Burgan Mortgage Mania Challenge will add even more excitement and interest to the much anticipated men’s and women’s Penguin basketball seasons,” said Patrick Burgan, co-owner of Burgan Real Estate.

Schooner remains may be the oldest found in Lake Erie

TOLEDO

Shipwreck hunters who spent eight days this summer unearthing and examining the remains of a schooner in Lake Erie in Ohio think it’s most likely a sailing ship that sank nearly two centuries ago.

That would make the wreckage the oldest ever found in the shallowest of the Great Lakes.

But there’s a bit of debate among the marine archaeologists and shipwreck hunters who are trying to identify the wreck about how confident they are it is indeed the Lake Serpent that sank in 1829.
