October 29, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol: COLUMBUS – On November 7, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will host regional testing for prospective applicants on the campus of Ohio Northern University at the King-Horn Convocation Physical Education Center, located at 609 W.

Those who meet the basic requirements to be a trooper – age 20 to 39, U.S. citizen, high school diploma or GED, and a valid driver license – will have the opportunity to complete an application and a written test during the event. If the written test is passed, applicants can proceed and take the physical fitness assessment on the spot.

This regional testing opportunity gives prospective applicants a chance to quickly complete the first few steps of the application process, bringing them closer to their goal of being a trooper.
October 18, 2024, Press Release from the Allen Soil and water Conservation District: The cooler weather has arrived and many homeowners around the county are raking up leaves, cutting back perennials, and just generally prepping yards, and gardens for the long winter ahead. But what few people realize is that caring for the soil should be a part of the autumn yard routine. Soil testing is especially essential if fertilizer is used. Over-fertilizing is so easy to do that many don’t give it much thought when applying it. Excess fertilizer is washed into our rivers and streams every time it rains. From there it causes algae problems, robs oxygen from the water, and is a leading contributor of poor water quality.
Allen County Health Commissioner Brandon Fischer says, “A lot of the hospitalizations from influenza have taken place in the last month. So, we’re just advising the community to be on the lookout for signs and symptoms of the flu. And it’s not to late to go out and get a flu shot. While the flu shot this year may not have been the best it’s still is good at preventing hospitalizations.”
West Middle School students ended their school day a little bit differently on Monday, with a bunch of cheering people getting them pumped up for their state test. It has been three years since the students had to take a state achievement test, so community members and first responders came together to give them a last push of encouragement. Organizers wanted the students to head into the test with a positive attitude that will help them succeed.
Next week the statewide testing returns to the classroom after a hiatus due to the pandemic. Lima City School officials are throwing a rally for students at West Middle School to pump them up and are asking community members to also attend. They say this small gesture is a big boost to the students.
There is more to concrete than you might think, and one federal program is helping people see the future of the product. Students from Rhodes State College, Ohio Northern University and local professionals got to check out the future of the concrete industry at the Federal Highway Administration Mobile Concrete Technology Center. The innovative testing that is being done by the mobile center, is pushing the construction and concrete industry forward to make it better for the consumer and contractors.
“They are both time savings and cost savings for the contractors and the agencies themselves, the testing agencies, the ready-mix companies,” Bob Krulik, Promotion Dir., Ohio Concrete. “They do all of those things at once they make life easier and they make concrete better at the end of the day.”
