Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Four members from the Toledo Zoo visited Ada last week. They put on a program about conservation and care of animals as well as telling about strides made at the zoo in recent years.

The nearby zoo is considered one of the foremost zoos for polar bears, and ONU's mascot Klondike was glad to hear that. 

One of the polar bear moms there gave birth to her seventh cub in December. If all goes well, the baby bear will be seen by zoo-goers later this summer.

Elizabeth Saracson 14-years-old, who had spent the evening with her sister in Ada, and had left her home during the night hours, was found in Indianapolis, Ind., according to Michael Harnishfeger, Ada police chief.

On Monday, the Ada Police Department in concert with the Forest Police Department and the F.B.I. tracked Elizabeth down to a house in Indianapolis, Ind., where F.B.I. agents successfully located her and recover her from the home.

As initially believed, Elizabeth did leave Ada and arrive in Indianapolis on her own accord, according to Harnishfeger.

The investigation continues as to exactly how Elizabeth was transported to Indianapolis.

She entertained at Liberty National's shareholder meeting

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, April 25, 2016

Passing by the McIntosh ballroom on last week, passers-by heard a beautiful voice rehearsing songs.

The singer was none other than 11-year-old Reagan Cox, preparing for the Liberty National Bank annual shareholders meeting to be held there that evening.

Reagan was invited to audition for "Americas Got Talent" last November in Detroit.

She is the daughter of Heather and Craig Cox of Miller City. Her mom is an assistant vice president at the bank and her dad manages a grocery store in Lima.
