This 4 month old female puppy is ready for adoption on Friday, April 20. She is a border collie mix. Can you give her a forever home?

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.

Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.

LIMA -- The Ohio Northern women's tennis team battled into the late hours of the evening before pulling out a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over Otterbein in a battle of league unbeatens Wednesday evening at the Westwood Tennis & Fitness Center.

The Polar Bears improve to 15-4 overall and move into first place in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 5-0 record, while the Cardinals fall to 13-4, 5-1.

The match was moved indoors due to inclement weather and was pushed back to an 8:15 pm start time due to court availability at ONU's indoor home courts in Lima.

Golden retriever Abby enjoys a game of football in the snow this morning. It’s more football weather than tennis time this year on April 19. You look out the window and think, “I’m going to cry.” Or, you can say, “How beautiful.” No matter how you look at it, Old Man Winter doesn’t want to leave this year. 2018 may just be one of those years when we go from cold right into hot summer. Stay tuned.

Hardin County Talks is an ongoing initiative that brings together community members to discuss issues of shared interest. On Tuesday, April 24, at 6 pm at Kenton High School, there will be a county-wide discussion on the role of schools in addressing issues of race.

 

Topics covered will include faculty diversity and what is being done to ensure that the faculty and staff are representative of the community. The goal is to highlight current initiatives in our schools and understand how those attending might support and strengthen them.
