They come through ReStore door - the rich and poor, short and tall, with canes and walkers or on their own two feet, some a little puggy or not, the young and old, some very old--to have a meal, socialize, and get a hug from Store Manager Linda Dearth. Now, Linda has announced her retirement.
A retirement reception, with refreshments, will be held in her honor from 4-6 p.m. on Friday at ReStore, 210 N. Main. All are invited.
"I've met some awesome people and have had wonderful people to work with," she said. "I've been very blessed."
Meet Sammy. Sammy is a 4 year old neutered male shepherd mix. He weighs 47 pounds. No kids, please. Can you give Sammy 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.

Japanese students learn there is nothing as American as apple pie.
Here, Mana Hashimoto of Mie, Japan, learns how to make apple pie with crumb topping. Has she ever made a pie in her home country? No, one sees pies only in hotels or specialty bakery shops there.
Mana is one of 28 Japanese students studying at Ohio Northern for five weeks this summer as part of a program to acclimate international students to American college life.
hey were having a great time peeling apples and rolling out crust, soon to be a tasty treat rarely found in Japan.
Note: Last week we asked if anyone was good with roosters. CLICK HERE for that story.
Update on Rooster - Still Available, running circles around our cops (specifically the Chief).
Good News - the owner of the Rooster has been identified. Seems the little guy got away when he discovered news of a Chicken Swap and wanted no part of it.
The owner is attempting to capture him now - Good Luck.
