MAY 5 MEDIA RELEASE__With the help of fifteen volunteer rainfall reporters, Ohio State University Extension in Hardin County is collecting unofficial township rainfall data for the thirty-third consecutive year.

The 2025 growing season has begun, and we have certainly seen a fair amount of rain already. We saw most of the rain early on soak right in, but recent rains have left standing water. Farmers are becoming more and more active in fields as well as horticulturalist and gardeners. As planting season continues to ramp up, please remember to be patient on roadways and remember to share the road so everyone can return home safely to their families.

One More gym at 125 E Buckeye Ave. has received the donation of an AED (automated external defibrillator) from Lima Memorial Health System.

The device expands access in the village to lifesaving equipment for use in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. It is in a hallway with 24-hour access, so it can be used at any time, note gym owners Nick and Amber Simon.
