The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a sobriety checkpoint on South Main in Kenton on from 8 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The checkpoint is part of “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” high visibility traffic enforcement initiative covering the busy Labor Day weekend. A fatality occurs every 34 minutes in the U.S. during Labor Day weekend.
Sheriff Keith Everhart pointed out that highway safety data indicates
that highly visible enforcement campaigns reduce drunk-driving fatalities by
as much as 20%.
He said, "It's our goal to have an unmistakable presence, ready to arrest drunk drivers who put lives at risk.”
Tickets are still on sale for the Friday, Sept. 8, Ada Music Booster’s chicken barbecue.
The barbecue is from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is available while supplies last. Tickets are $9 each and are available from music booster members or music students.
There's speed dating and then there's "speed dating" library selections. Here's what Ada HS sophomores were up to recently. They were making lists of possible, future silent reading picks - all in a speed dating format. (Photo from Ada Bulldogs Facebook video.)

SPENCERVILLE - Host Spencerville led Ada 2-0 in a Northwest Conference girls soccer match that was called off due to lightning 10 minutes into the second half Monday evening.
The game was thought to be official since roughly 50 of 80 minutes were completed, but a final ruling is yet to come.
"We let them control the ball," said Lady Bulldog head coach Doug Poling.
Ada was limited to four shots, all in the shortened second half.
Senior keeper Anney Archer made 15 saves in goal for the purple and gold.
