Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, January 11, 2024

Additional Hardin County information is available HERE on Facebook.

Getting interested in April 8 solar eclipse viewing opportunities or ways to provide services for those who will travel to the area?

The Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance is working to compile a list of viewing locations that will be open to the public for eclipse viewing on April 8.

Anywhere with paved or gravel parking and open skies could be a good viewing location. You may choose to allow free parking, or charge a fee. You may be able to provide additional amenities, or not.

Locations can be added to the HCCBA website at www.hccba.com/eclipse

Ideas for viewing locations: Rural church parking lots, township halls, event venues, parks & outdoor athletic facilities, etc.

Help visitors to Hardin County know where they are allowed to park and view the eclipse, and what opportunities and events are available.

Fishin’ in the Dark: Omega Fatty Acids

Posted by Staff on Thursday, January 11, 2024

By Sarah Lysinger, Student Pharmacist and Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released their song Fishin’ in the Dark on June 7, 1987 and it hit number one on the country charts both in the United States and Canada.  The American country rock band started in 1966 in Long Beach, California. Several artists covered the song written by Wendy Waldman and Jim Photogio. Kenny Chesney released a cover of the song with the title You and Me Go Fishing in the Dark. After Garth Brooks recorded his cover version in 2005, the number of downloads of the original song certified it as platinum.  

For those who know the lyrics, you realized the song is not really about fishing or even counting the stars at night.  It is too bad they were not fishing because the science about the benefits of fish in your diet is advancing.

Mayor Retterer's State of the Village address, January 2024

Posted by Staff on Thursday, January 11, 2024

On January 2, Mayor Dave Retterer made his annual report to the Village of Ada Council, as required by Ohio Revised Code - Title VII Municipal Corporations - Section 733.41. The following is his prepared speech.

The Village of Ada is composed of a variety of industries, businesses, people, of churches and opportunities. These comprise one of the many strengths of this village. An international company that could have expanded to a collection of other places chose to expand in Ada. A couple of Ada High School and University of Findlay college friends have chosen to invest in properties in Ada to build a brewery. Each of two couples from the region purchased an existing business and put their stamp on it. The pandemic caused a lot of problems for residents and the village itself. It appears that 2024 can be much better.
