Ada Boy Scout Troop 124 was organized a century ago in early November of 1917. Carl Wilkerson took a photo of the current troop last week, marking the anniversary. Tom Lehman, who led the Troop for 17 years, has done some research on the Troop history and learned that Harry Erickson was the first Scoutmaster and the group first met at the Ada Presbyterian Church. The Scouts now meet at St. Mark's Lutheran Church. Jeff Kurtz is the current Scoutmaster. Don Spar has been the Cubmaster for the past 10 years.

This is Marshall. He is a 2 year old male lab mix. He weighs 43 pounds. Are you able to give Marshall his 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.

ONU's nursing program delivers

Nurses have to be prepared for anything, and when it comes to making sure they’re ready, ONU’s nursing program delivers.

The 121-student program is known for its rigorous curriculum and high-impact learning opportunities. On top of classroom and lab work, every student is required to complete 840 clinical hours in a hospital setting throughout the four-year program. Students are put through intense training and are routinely pushed to their limits. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart.

Elizabeth Yaeger, a senior nursing major from Copley, Ohio, recalls her initial thoughts on the nursing program when she started as a freshman.
