Victory Inn and Suites, 1650 E. Wooster St., has filed a civil lawsuit seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction to stop the Wood County Health Department and Ohio Department of Commerce from "further baseless and harassing inspections."
The suit was filed late Monday afternoon and has been assigned to Wood County Common Pleas Judge Alan Mayberry.
A hearing has been set for Tuesday at 10 a.m.
In an attached May 20 affidavit, Jamal Garmo, principal member of Bowling Green Lodge LLC, which operates Victory Inn and Suites, stated that on Aug. 8, 2012 and May 14, 2013, representatives of one or both of the defendants made or attempted to make inspections at the business based on alleged violations of the health code. His statement indicated that on each of the two dates no problem was found.

Sometimes George Carruth will be driving along, and spot one of his sculptures in a yard.
After 30 years of selling his work, the artist and entrepreneur still finds it "amazing" that people will buy his art and love it enough to put it in their yard.
Then again Carruth never was one to promote his work. That job has fallen to his wife, Deborah Carruth.
Over the course of 30 years the husband and wife team have built a national business, Garden Smiles.
It was Deborah Carruth who signed her husband up to exhibit his stone sculptures at Harrison Rally Days in Perrysburg in 1982.
"It was kind of against my will," the sculptor said.

Cindy Sheehan made headlines in 2005 when she staged a lengthy anti-war protest outside of former U.S. President George W. Bush's Texas ranch. Since then, the California woman known as "The Tornado" by the Secret Service, has pitched tents in the nation's capital, ran for Congress against Democratic powerhouse Nancy Pelosi and been arrested multiple times fighting for a cause she firmly believes in.
On Monday, the nationally known anti-war activist stood on the hardwood floors of the Happy Badger in downtown Bowling Green as part of a 90-day cycling ride from her son's grave in California to the nation's capital. She calls her ride the "Tour de Peace."
Her ride began April 4 from her son's, Casey Sheehan, grave in Vacaville, Calif., and will conclude on July 3 in "WashedUp DeCeit," Sheehan's nickname for Washington, D.C. Her son, a 24-year-old Army Specialist, was killed in action in Iraq on April 4, 2004.

Ohio Governor John Kasich appealed to the younger crowd Monday when he cracked a joke on music star Kanye West while addressing Buckeye Boys State delegates.
After taking the microphone from Dan Willis, a state government consultant for Buckeye Boys State, Kasich said, "I took that mic just like Kanye did, huh?"
The joke, which was in reference to West's behavior at an awards show in 2009, drew laughs from the roughly 1,200 delegates at Bowling Green State University's Stroh Center.
Instead of rapping the rest of his speech like the music artist he poked fun at, Kasich spoke to the delegates on what makes a good leader.
"Leadership isn't being voted into anything - but that is part of it. But the definition, in my opinion ... is the willingness, as I like to say, to walk a lonely road," Kasich said.
