David Dellifield, director of ONU’s McIntosh Center, would not have met the Kenton fire captain if it hadn’t been for Hardin Leadership.
“The program connected me to people in the county that I would not have met on a daily basis,” said Dellifield.
A graduate of the 2013 Hardin Leadership Program, Dellifield holds a bachelor’s degree from ONU and a master’s from Bluffton University. Having grown up in the Allen East area and living out of state for a few years, however, put him at a disadvantage when it came to a knowledge of area individuals and resources.

Chocolate is the word at the Ada Public Library this month.
On Monday, Feb. 17, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. is a chocolate Olympics for 6th graders through senior high school students.
Then, on Saturday, Feb. 22, is one of the most popular events on the library’s calendar. It’s the Great Chocolate bake off. It’s open to all ages, but participants must sign-up in advance. There’s an entry division for youth and one for adults.
Last year’s winners were the mother-son team of Erin and Timothy Chrissobolis.
Timothy entered a brownie cake with cookie butter frosting. His mom entered an Oreo chocolate cake.
