Man barricades himself in house

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Wednesday, August 9, 2017

A deputy from the Hardin  County Sheriff’s Office attempted to make a traffic stop in Ada after viewing a routine traffic violation.   The suspect vehicle failed to stop and continued to 417 W. Highland Ave.   The driver of the vehicle, later identified as John Denton, immediately became combative with the deputy and an officer from the Ada Police Department.   

The deputy's cruiser was damaged by Denton who was able to get into his residence after damaging the patrol vehicle and began to barricade himself inside.   

Denton’s elderly mother did exit the residence and was safely removed from the scene.

Feeding time!

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, August 8, 2017

It's feeding time for the mallards and Canadian geese at the pond by the Freed Center. For the feathered friends who live there, it's always feeding time, hoping for a morsel from any passerby. They don't go hungry.

Ada scouts ride the rapids

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, August 8, 2017

Ada Boy Scouts Kamron Wilkerson and Dexter Woods III recently returned from the 12-day national jamboree near Beckley, W Va. Dexter and Kamron (second and third on the port side of the raft) are shown whitewater rafting on the New River. 

If you are near the New River, you go whitewater rafting because it's one of the best rapids around. 

And, if you are near a national jamboree (held only every four years) you go. President Trump was among the speakers. More than 34,000 Scouts from 50 nations attended the jamboree.
