To the voters of Hardin County: On behalf of the following law enforcement officials, we thank you for giving informed consideration with your vote in this past election in determining the outcome of Constitutional Issue 1.

Hello, My name is Randy Trayer. I would like to commend the Hardin County Veterans Service Office. I am a Vietnam combat veteran helicopter copilot with the 101st Abn. Div 158th Avn. Bn. I Corp., Vietnam (1970).

To the editor: This November 6 will likely be one of the most important elections in our lifetimes. The divisions between and among Americans; our neighbors, colleagues and friends has reached a point where many question the effectiveness and even the future of our democratic form of government. Political parties are viewed by far too many of our fellow citizens …

I am writing to the members of our great Hardin County community asking for the citizens’ support of County Issue 6 to continue to provide funding for the county’s Ohio State University Extension Office. Since 1914, Ohio State University has been helping Ohioans build better lives, businesses, and communities through county extension offices.

The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize and Hardin Counties firmly believes that non-violent individuals with a substance use disorder are better served through treatment instead of incarceration. This is particularly true for marginalized populations who are over represented in Ohio’s prisons and often go unserved.

Congratulations to the Kenton Wildcats boys soccer team on your WBL championship and your success in making it to the Elite Eight in the State Division II Soccer Tournament. You might as well sink the Bay and outscore them by one goal more,

The Ada-Liberty Township Fire Department protects the incorporated area of Ada, 36 square miles of Liberty Township and 10 square miles in Orange Township, Hancock County. In 1990, the fire department took delivery of the first fire truck of its kind in the area.

On Nov. 6, voters will be asked to decide many issues. Among them will be issues in Buck Township, Goshen Township, Pleasant Township and the City of Kenton on behalf of Grove Cemetery.

I urge you to support the renewal of the Issue 6 Extension levy. My family has 122 years as 4-H advisors in Hardin County. Bob has 55 years, Bonnie had 33 years, Jerry had 22 years and Jack had 12 years. We believe in what 4-H does for young people.

On November 6, I ask for your support on Issue 6, OSU Extension Levy. This renewal levy generates financial support for programs in our county such as 4-H, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Family Consumer Science, and SNAP Education.
