The state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification reportedly was called in to assist in the probe. A police dispatcher said that upon orders of Chief Dennis Day, no information would be released to the public until 9 a.m. today. The homicide would appear to be Fostoria's first since 1997, when the city had four murders in one year. Johnny Appleseed will be some of the topics covered when the Hancock Historical Museum offers nine summer classes for children in June and early July. Most of the classes will be held two hours a day for a week at the museum.
All sessions are open to both members and nonmembers of the museum association.
The class is based on masks manufactured at the American Mask Co. in Findlay from 1884-1964. The class is open to ages 10-12, and each participant will create a quilt. Children ages 8-10 will use rubber stamps and ink to do stamping and embossing projects. Children will learn about our nation's symbols, songs and heroes, and how laws are made through the use of games and hands-on activities. In the past, classes were underwritten by local corporate funding.
