Meet Ranger Hank. He is an 8-month-old English Springer Spaniel, and his duties include public relations and geese harassment. That’s right, his main purpose is to annoy the geese enough that they move on to somewhere else. Hank will also do PR as he will always be leashed following city ordinance and rangers will be handing out bags to remind people to clean up after their pup.

5^th and 6^th graders from Lima North taking part in the ECHO program, which is an after-school program that teaches life skills to students, were taught how to fish and were able to catch fish alongside park rangers and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Last week, students learned how to cast a reel, and this week they were able to take that out into a real fishing setting.

A familiar face at the Lima Police Department taking on a new role to serve the community.
