ReStore, selling household items, building materials, planned for Bowling Green
BOWLING GREEN — Habitat for Humanity of Wood County is opening a ReStore, which the executive director describes as a cross between a Goodwill and a Home Depot. Mark Ohashi said the ReStore will offer at thrift-store prices household items and building materials that are donated from community members. “We get donated product from the community, from local businesses — furniture, appliances, building materials — and then sell it to the public at reduced prices,” Mr. Ohashi said. The location will be at the former Bee Gee Rental & Sales Inc. store at 829 W. Newton Rd., which closed in December, 2022.
‘Happy-go-lucky’ husky named Ice waiting at Wood County Dog Shelter for a home
A husky named Ice, who came to the Wood County Dog Shelter as a stray, is looking for a home. The 1-year-old is a small husky, weighing just 35 pounds. When Ice arrived at the shelter, he was wearing a dog license and his owner was contacted, but never came for him.
Northwest Ohio Rib Off continues with more tasting, music
On a picture perfect weather day Saturday, with temperatures in the low 80s, a light breeze, and hardly a cloud in the sky, Dennis Scherger would normally be tending to a vegetable patch in his backyard. Instead, Mr. Scherger, 72, of Whitehouse, and his wife, Sandy, spent four hours volunteering Saturday at The Blade’s 40th annual Northwest Ohio Rib Off, checking admission tickets as they greeted visitors with a smile at the event entrance gate at the Lucas County Fairgrounds in Maumee. The Schergers were among 175 volunteers at the Rib Off on Saturday, with a total of about 400 volunteering during the weekend. The money they raise is to be transferred directly to their affiliated organizations, such as area churches, schools, and clubs, according to event organizers. “This is what we’re doing today,” Mr. Scherger said. “It feels good, because we get to help with our church youth activities raising money for a summer camp fund.”
Inside the Five's new menu shows promise
When a foodie friend first told me we need to check out Inside the Five Brewing Co., I immediately looked up the menu and began craving the buffalo mac and cheese until the day finally came when I sat myself down in a booth at the downtown Perrysburg location. I’m always indecisive on what to order — but not this day. Our server patiently allowed us to catch up for what was maybe a little too long before we even ordered an appetizer (the delectably creamy jalapeno bacon balls ($15). When she came back to take our main dishes, I requested the buffalo mac — only to hear that the menu was changing and the mac and cheese bowls were no longer offered.

Outdoors: As late summer approaches, area archery courses can help you tune up for deer
Some outdoor enthusiasts are counting down the days to the season’s opening day like Christmas. Their Christmas morning will be here in a couple months — archery begins Saturday, Sept. 28, in Ohio; and Tuesday, Oct. 1, in Michigan. Meanwhile, what to do? Staying in good physical shape is important to keep your muscles toned to shoot archery gear, as well as having your bow tuned, arrows cut to the right size, and sights in working order — if you use sights. I shoot instinctive when I use my recurve, so no sights are needed.
