The Ada village council moved closer to approving stiffer penalties against owners of vicious or dangerous dogs, following the attack last August of an Ada couple and their two small dogs by a pit bull that had escaped its kennel.  

The legislation would not ban or target pit bulls or any other breed, a focus that council members had previously considered.

Letter: Here's the explanation of "CHEERS 63"

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, October 18, 2016

Icon viewers:
I am a proud momma. My youngest son (Jeremy Hoschak) is a competitive cheerleader for CAPITAL CITY Gymnastics & Cheer in Findlay and my oldest is #63 (Jakob Hoschak) on the Ada High School football team. So that is how I came up with CHEER 63.

Sorry, but I wasn't even born in 1963, but I do cheer for Ada and Capital City.

Thanks for spotting my plate.
