LIMA The Apollo Educational Foundation has recognized its long-standing relationship with Ohio Means Jobs by unveiling a plaque Tuesday that will be placed on the Partners Wall in the Goare Room at Apollo.
“The relationship we have with Ohio Means Jobs in Allen County and the surrounding counties has been such a meaningful partnership for us as a workforce training center and for our high school and adult education students,” said Keith Horner, Apollo superintendent. “The services and assistance we receive from them and their collaboration on projects is what led the Apollo Education Foundation Board to add them to the partner wall.”
Reports of unemployment fraud on rise

LIMA Law enforcement agencies and government officials in Allen, Putnam and Auglaize counties are receiving increasing numbers of reports concerning fraud attempts centered on the unauthorized application for state unemployment benefits.
“This most recent scam is the filing of fraudulent Ohio unemployment claims on people’s behalf without their knowledge,” Kalida Police Chief James Gulker posted earlier this week on the department’s Facebook page.
“Over the past few months I have been contacted by residents of the area that they have received either an email or letter stating that they have applied for unemployment benefits in Ohio. We have heard from both employees and clients that they have received written notification that a claim was made in their name,” Gulker wrote.
