Dave Retterer gave "The Last Lecture" on Tuesday afternoon in McIntosh Center. Retterer, Ph.D., is retiring from his day job but will continue his duties as mayor.
He began teaching at Ohio Northern 38 years ago in the math and computer science department, which then was part of the College of Arts and Sciences. It's now part of the College of Engineering.
Engineering sponsored a senior design showcase on Tuesday, thus many alumni returned to campus to judge the projects and attend a reception for their former, and in many cases, favorite professor.
Hardin County sheriff deputies are involved with youth. Deputy Isaac Woltz speaks to students in his daughter's kindergarten class about public safety at Lincoln Elementary School in Findlay. And, Deputy Tate Peterson plays in a game of pick up basketball during recess at Upper Scioto Valley Schools.
Sheriff Keith Everhart said, "This is what serving the public and youth is all about. These deputies have kind hearts."
This is Jessie, a 1 year old female terrier mix. She weighs 14 pounds. Can you provide a forever home for Jessie?
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.
