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.

South Main Street window boxes

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, August 5, 2017

Deb Sadler stands in her side garden at 803 S. Main. The garden features window boxes on the first and second stories. Window boxes are common in Europe, but seldom found in Ada. You never have much weeding to do with window boxes, but watering can become an almost daily chore. Maybe that's why planting boxes hasn't caught on here.  Beneath the boxes is Mrs. Sadler's garden of blooming shrubs, perennials, and annuals, much in bloom this time of year.

Your invitation to her ReStore retirement party on Friday
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 1, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
They come through ReStore door - the rich and poor, short and tall, with canes and walkers or on their own two feet, some a little puggy or not, the young and old, some very old--to have a meal, socialize, and get a hug from Store Manager Linda Dearth. Now, Linda has announced her retirement.

A retirement reception, with refreshments, will be held in her honor from 4-6 p.m. on Friday at ReStore, 210 N. Main. All are invited.

"I've met some awesome people and have had wonderful people to work with," she said. "I've been very blessed."

Icon dog of the week - Sammy

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, July 31, 2017

Meet Sammy. Sammy is a  4 year old neutered male shepherd mix. He weighs 47 pounds.  No kids, please. Can you give Sammy a forever home?

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.

Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
