Ada's latest news

Here's Bob Blank's REO and Larry Dudgeon's patrol car

By Monty Siekerman

What do you do with an old farm truck once you are finished farming with it?

Spruce it up and enter car shows, so says Bob Blank of Pandora. He entered this Diamond REO pickup in the County Line Church of the Brethren car show on Saturday. The pickup has a mere 375,000 miles on the odometer.

 A Florida State Trooper in the area? Larry Dudgeon of Bluffton entered his 1991 former patrol car in the car show.

The church's 10th annual car show drew 59 entries this year.

We told you the catfish were jumping

Dakota Dunifon hauled in a 6 pound catfish at the Liberty Conservation Club derby on Saturday night.

He caught the first two cats. Why hold a tourney from 6 p.m. until midnight? Two reasons why the the whiskered fish wander ponds at night: catfish are light sensitive to sun and heat and are nocturnal. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Ada's international flavor

Twenty students from Japan arrived in Ada this week to study English as a second language (ESL) before leaving in a month to go to various colleges throughout the U.S. Here, the students tour downtown Ada, making a stop at Reichert's Red Tag Sale on Friday morning.
