Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, March 19, 2021

ODOT is proposing to rehabilitate six culverts (located in Hancock, Hardin, and Wyandot Counties) in order to extend the life of the existing structures. Construction activities may require temporary lane closures, but the need for full vehicular detours is not anticipated.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2023.

Hancock County –
State Route 103 at mile marker 8.14 carrying an unnamed tributary to Ottawa Creek, approximately 0.25 mile south of the village of Jenera.

Hardin County –
State Route 235 at mile marker 5.48 carrying Poe Ditch, approximately 3.00 miles north of the village of Roundhead.

Growth mindset vs. fixed mindset

These mindsets are based on our perception and response to failure and challenging tasks
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, March 18, 2021

By Amelia Alexander
As I promised in an earlier article, I’m writing an article about the growth mindset. In school, I learned about this mindset, and it has given me some perspective.  

This may be oversimplified, so be sure to take what I say with a grain of salt.  

There are two different mindsets. The growth mindset and the fixed mindset. These mindsets are based on our perception and response to failure and challenging tasks.

People who have a fixed mindset do not grow nearly as much as people who have a growth mindset because people with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities/intelligence is “fixed” or stagnant.
