Larry Burkhalter, on the violin, and Joanne Niswander, accompanying on piano, provided entertainment, beginning with “Cradle-Song” by Johannes Brahms (in keeping with the baby theme).

Today Gov. John R. Kasich formally asked the General Assembly to convene a special joint session in Lima on Feb. 19 for his annual State of the State address.
Continuing a tradition he began last year at Steubenville’s Wells Academy, the top-ranked public school in the state, Kasich’s decision to deliver the State of the State outside the capital again is rooted in his desire to make state government more accessible to Ohioans and shine a light on communities across Ohio making contributions to the state’s success.
