The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 is in search of seasonal employees for the upcoming winter season and will hold a winter seasonal career fair Friday, Oct. 27. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at ODOT’s Hardin County maintenance facility, located at 13052 U.S. 68 in Kenton.
Career fair attendees will be able to apply for a winter seasonal position, have a driving record check completed, take a required physical abilities test, and interview for a position.
Ada Rotarians, with the assistance of Mayor Dave Retterer, raised a flag at the Railroad Park on Tuesday in commemoration of World Polio Day. Holding the flag are Rotarians Jamie Hall (left) and Bob Ward. David Quammen, an author who lives in Montana, spoke at the club meeting prior to the flag raising.
The annual trick or treat event at Ohio Northern will begin with registration at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24 in the McIntosh Center activities room. ONU students will then lead the youngsters through residence halls beginning at 5:15 p.m.
The event will also include dinner at 6 p.m. in the McIntosh Center ballroom and a costume contest and raffle at 6:30 p.m. before wrapping up at approximately 7 p.m.
The event, which is open to area children, is free and open to the public. Children of all ages are encouraged to dress up and join the fun. All children must be accompanied by an adult to attend the festivities. The outing is presented by ONU’s office of residence life.
Despite summer like temperatures, five strong and helpful young men from the Phi Mu Delta Fraternity on Ohio Northern's Campus arrived at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, to help winterize the Village Garden.
The garden wasn't quite through producing this year and as the ONU students pulled, cut and upended all the vegetation, they discovered lingering 'fruit on the vine'. "I've never seen a harvest go this long!" said Karen Ward, coordinator of the Garden.
If this continues the winterizing may have to be pushed back to November. The Village Garden is an offshoot project sponsored by The ReStore Center of Ada.

A portion of Willeke Avenue will have new water and sanitary sewer lines, the road will be improved, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks installed...but at a cost.
The work is estimated to cost about $1.1 million, and homeowners may be assessed for part of the cost, about $6,000 per lot.
The project will help with the street flooding during rains. The water and sewer lines are very old.
The area considered phase 1 extends from Ackerman to Orders, which is the east portion of Willeke. The remainder of the street will be phase 2, which is still in the planning stages.
