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, 26929 Cummings Road, 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.
Future manufacturers and marshmallows: Sherrod Brown visits engineering camp for kids
Twelve-year-old Matthew Ward likes to work with his hands and said he’s interested in going into a career where he gets to build things. This week, Matthew got to weld metal flowers, construct pens, and engineer a marshmallow gun all while learning about careers in manufacturing. The weeklong camp was a part of the Wood County Advanced Manufacturing Camp, an initiative spearheaded by the office of U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s (D., Ohio) to give students in fourth through eighth grade the chance to learn about career opportunities and hear from local experts. “I love what this community does in manufacturing, and I know if these kids get more interested in manufacturing, their parents, grandchildren are more likely to live in northwest Ohio,” Mr. Brown said.

Bilingual Spanish-English campaign educates on opioid crisis
Zulay Sierra was driving in Lucas County last spring when a billboard caught her eye. “¡QUIERETE!” the black billboard read — a Spanish phrase translating roughly as “care for yourself.” Before arriving in Toledo in 2021, Ms. Sierra worked as an intensive care unit nurse in her home country of Venezuela. When Ms. Sierra discovered that the billboard was part of a bilingual opioid education campaign, she reached out to the organizers, eager to use her medical expertise to help Spanish-speakers in Toledo. “I wanted to support my Latino community,” Ms. Sierra said in Spanish. “This campaign is not only for Hispanics, but also for the American community, to become aware of the damage that the excessive consumption of these narcotics is causing in the new generations — to the point of death.”
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.
Mud Hens fall to St. Paul in first game back from break
Four late runs for the Toledo Mud Hens were not enough to erase a big deficit from the middle innings as the visiting St. Paul Saints earned an 8-6 win at Fifth Third Field on Friday.

Jace Jung opened the scoring with an RBI double that brought home Akil Baddoo for a 1-0 Toledo lead in the bottom of the third.

Here’s what MAC commissioner Steinbrecher had to say at football media day
CANTON — Mid-American Conference commissioner Jon Steinbrecher made the opening remarks at the football media day news conference on Friday at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Here are some highlights from Steinbrecher’s address: On MAC players selected in April’s NFL Draft: “As I think back over the last year, a handful of things jump off the page at me. Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell becoming the 14th first-round NFL draft pick from the Mid-American Conference since 1998 when he was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles. Or Western Michigan’s Marshawn Kneeland selected in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys. The message should be evident: come to the Mid-American Conference, develop and excel, and you will get your chance in the NFL. You can be as good as you want to be right here.”
State issues first algae advisory of 2024 at Maumee Bay State Park
Maumee Bay State Park’s Lake Erie Beach got its first state health advisory for algae a little after 4 p.m. on Friday. The warning was issued by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The toxin concentration was not disclosed, but swimmers are advised to stay out of the lake and be careful around the shoreline because of a new recreational public health advisory. It is especially important to keep dogs and young children out of the water. A scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told The Blade on Thursday that Lake Erie’s Summer 2024 algal bloom began south of Monroe and in north Maumee Bay during the first of July, earlier than normal. It is expanding, last known to cover 180 square miles of the lake, and is becoming stronger along familiar territory in the warm, shallow water along the Toledo-to-Monroe shoreline.
