Today was our first 4-H Hardin county diary club meeting. We assigned President to Medow Cromer, Vice President to Preston Brien. Secretary to Laney Harpel, Treasurer to Landon West, Safety to Ali Harpel, Health to Carter Bay and finally News reporter to Elaine Webster!
This year the 4-H club has decided to have a booth at the fair. The 4-H Booth Committee has the responsibility to pick a theme and recreate it! That committee consists of, Mandy Dyer, Tia Reffner, Marlana Webster, and Anne Temple.
The Theme will be decided next meeting which is April 10, 2016.
Welcome to the Ada Icon's "Ada Teacher Feature." Here we share thoughts and insights from local teachers who lift up and inspire our students.
Let us lift up and inspire these educators as well. Today we meet Kristie Steiner, art teacher. It was Georgia O'Keefe who said, "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."
Kristie is helping our students learn to express themselves and find what interests them, too.

This is the first in a series on Ada artists and artisans showing original works for sale at Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St., Ada.
Featured artist Karen Ward, photographer
Ward, a 25-year Ada resident, is a photographer. Several of her photographs are available at the gallery. These include cards, framed photos and 8-by-10 inch unframed photos.
She describes her photography this way:
“I’d photograph more people if I could capture their innocence and not their posed portrait. But, to do so would be sort of sneaky and that isn’t very acceptable this day and age.
Folks from Howell, N.J., bundle up to watch the first ever men's intercollegiate lacrosse match at ONU on Saturday. The temp at game time was 43 with a wind-chill of 35. They attended, having driven from afar, to root on a relative, freshman Derek Price.
The first meeting of the Hardin Co Hootenannies was held at Faith Holbrook's farm. She had five new baby goats to let the members enjoy.
The members guessed on which doe would deliver her kids next. Winners were Riley Fleece -first; Seth Davis and Faith - second. Parents, visitors, and advisors that won were: Billie Mizek and Jason Fleece - first; Ray Davis, Grant and Carter Mizek - second.
President Isaac Davis opened the meeting and asked Sean Hurley to lead the pledge to the American Flag and Seth Davis to lead in the 4-H pledge. We welcomed Elisha Lowery to our club.
