Dana Open comes to Highland Meadows for 35th time
It’s a milestone year for the Dana Open, as the LPGA event celebrates its 40th anniversary and status as the second-longest-running non-major championship. This is also the 35th playing at Highland Meadows, the Sylvania golf club that has grown synonymous with the Jamie Farr-turned-Marathon Classic-turned-Dana Open, hosting many of the tournament’s greatest moments. “Highland Meadows membership, it is a great partnership,” Dana Open tournament director Judd Silverman said. “As successful partnerships go, both parties understand each other’s needs, and we’ve always been able to work it out. I just couldn’t be more appreciative of the support that the club has provided the tournament through the years. I think it’s been a win-win situation, and no partnership is going to last that long if it’s not.” The Jamie Farr Toledo Classic began in 1984 at Glengarry Country Club (now Stone Oak), where it remained until moving to Highland Meadows in 1989. A burned-down clubhouse and Glengarry’s sale to Cavalear Corporation factored into the course change. The marriage has been positive for both sides, evidenced by the length. One tournament at a single course for more than three decades on the LPGA Tour is unheard of.
Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the LPGA's 2024 Dana Open

Wannasaen, 20, took home $262,500 for her victory from the overall $1.75 million purse.

Inaugural Lima Masters tournament brings golfers together to raise money for local sports programs
HARROD, OH (WLIO) - The Lima community turned out for a golf tournament to ensure today's kids have the same opportunities they did. On Saturday, the 1st annual Lima Masters was held. The tournament started off years ago as a Lima native reunion in Columbus, but this year, the founders decided to bring it home and use the outing to raise money for athletic programs in local schools. This year's proceeds will be donated to the Lima City Schools football program through the new nonprofit 4 The Friendship. Many participants moved away from Lima a long time ago but were happy to come back for a good time and a good cause.

Maumee's murky waters: The ruinous consequences of an environmental crime
For more than 24 years, city of Maumee employees routinely reported to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency that the town was not discharging sewage into the Maumee River. Those affirmations were manifestly untrue. In fact, between 1996 and 2020, the city of Maumee dumped millions of gallons of sewage-contaminated water into the city’s namesake river. What’s more, during portions of that time, the city’s sewer system was not overseen by an appropriately certified sewer collection operator.

The new classic: Wood County couple opens vintage automobile museum
MILLBURY, Ohio — As Tammy and Mike Bartlett have spent over two decades collecting cars, their passion has grown from storing their collection in one garage, to building a larger one, yet outgrowing both spaces. Now the pair is showcasing their collectables in a museum for the public to view. The Millbury Classic Cars and Trucks museum, located at 26929 Cummings Rd., features close to 85 cars and trucks on display, said co-owner Tammy Bartlett, along with vintage and neon signs, gas pumps, bikes, and mannequins. “It really never intended to be a car museum in the beginning, but as our collection and our love for purchasing cars just kept growing,” she continued, “we've decided, you know, it would be really nice to share everything with the public.” Besides the classic car museum in Bowling Green, Snook’s Dream Cars, Bartlett said there’s nothing quite like this in the northwest region of Ohio.
