In life, everyone has "bumps in the road," some large, some small.

You do your best to contend with misfortune. Ada "bumps in the road" are being fixed this week with manholes smoothed out. Some things are fixable.

Ada saw more than the usual road repair this year with blacktop being applied in many places in town.

The manholes have become more of a nuisance for drivers since, in many cases, the blacktop is now higher than the manholes. So, workmen are in town this week to smooth out the pesky dips in the road.

GROUP HAS A GO FUND ME PAGE

By Monty Siekerman
A dog park is in the planning stages to be located on Ada War Memorial Park property with an entrance off of East Lehr Avenue.

The park board has agreed to set aside an area for the park, and the village government has made arrangements to give the dog park the fence around the swimming pool which will be dismantled after this swim season.

The off-leash park will have two sections, one for small dogs and one for large dogs, to socialize, exercise, and play. The dog park will include a shelter house.

Have a plant problem? Darla Crownhart and Judy Magee, both of Ada, as well as others may be able to identify the problem and suggest a solution. 

Thirty-two Master Gardener volunteers from 8 counties learned how to diagnose plant problems during a clinic recently held in Kenton. Training was conducted by OSU Extension and hosted by the Hardin County Master Gardener Volunteers at Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative. 

OSU Extension horticulture and entomology specialists Pam Bennett, Nancy Taylor, and Curtis Young provided instruction in the morning about disease, insect, and environmental factors with conifers such as spruce, pine, and fir trees.
