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.

Trending upward: Valentine Theatre's upcoming season keys in on what people want
The Valentine Theatre will be paying tribute to music icons ranging from Neil Diamond to Cher during its 2024-2025 season. While some musical celebrations are returning to Toledo, two shows, Always Loretta and Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes, are new to the area. The two represent an initial foray into classical country music by the Valentine, which is making the best of two trends: the rise of tribute shows and a resurgence in country music. “A significant number of people love the music of the ’70s and ’80s and want that live performance experience — reliving their youth or simply 'seeing' bands they wish they could have seen back in the day,” said Jason Stumbo, director of bands at the University of Toledo.
