Locally, Rep. Cross will host district office hours each month at the main district libraries in Findlay, Kenton and Ada.
“It’s very important to stay connected to our communities and to the people of the 83rd district. I want to thank our libraries for allowing me to host office hours to meet with and assist constituents with state needs and discuss public policy,” he said.
The following dates are confirmed for February and March for Hardin County visits:
Over 600 sophomores in Apollo Career Center’s 11-member district will visit Apollo during 411Blast, Friday, Jan. 25. Ada students will visit Apollo during the afternoon session.
This day is designed to expose students to possibilities and paths that are available for their career and/or college success. Students choose two programs of interest and then spend one-half day visiting those labs, meeting the instructors and participating in fun, interactive demos and activities.
It provides students with more information to base their career decisions upon and gives them first-hand knowledge about the Career Center prior to priority enrollment which begins in February.
Junior All-American Maggie Krause (Chagrin Falls/Kenston) has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference Field Athlete of the Week for women's indoor track and field, the league office announced Monday afternoon.

As the government shutdown continues, many employees are going on several weeks now without a paycheck. With the historic length of this shutdown, another major challenge for many families is that SNAP benefits through February are being released now and must last households through the end of February, with no current assurance on what will happen in March.
Due to this unique situation, many are faced with struggles they have never known before: how do you stretch your food dollar?

John Lomax, retired professor of history at Ohio Northern University, told Ada Kiwanis members that “Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech at ONU in 1968 was a watershed moment in the life of the university as well as his work in leading the civil rights movement.”
King spoke at ONU on Jan. 11, 1968.
Lomax was the Kiwanis Club’s guest on Jan. 22. He said that King’s talk occurred in the midst of his ‘poor people’s campaign’ and was at the beginning of Dr. King talking against the Vietnam War.
