Ada's latest news

"Agile" means to be able to move quickly and easily. Watch these two dancers define the word perfectly.

Donna Shadley of Ada dances with a partner from Kenton during the recent Senior Dance at ReStore Community Center, Ada...quickly and easily.

The dances take place ever other Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m. at ReStore, 210 N. Main St.. Jon Umphress took this video and shared it with the Icon. 

Donna's dance partner is 93. CLICK ON THE VIDEO BELOW AND START DANCING.

The Ada Public Library is proud to announce the arrival of two literacy computers in the Children's Department! The computers, geared toward kids ages 2 years - 2nd grade, offer the library's young patrons an opportunity to practice literacy skills with activities and games via ABC Mouse

The computers were purchased with the help of a 2014 Hardin County Community Foundation grant. Many thanks go to this amazing foundation--we know the children at the library will surely appreciate the computers! 

Pictured is Landon Mosher, age 4, enjoying the new literacy computer with his mom, Jessi Mosher! 

When your work is completed, place it in your own file for later use. That's how it works at the Ohio Northern University preschool.

There's something happening every day in Ada during April and May. Just check the Icon Ada Community Highlights Calendar.

The monthly events are posted below. A printer-friendly copy (nice for your refrigerator or bulletin board) is in an attachment at the bottom of this story.

The two-month calendar is posted six times a year by the Ada Icon as a service to the community.

Here is a photo of the Ada schools "The Speaker" staff from 30 school years ago. We will invite someone from this photo to explain "The Speaker."

The Community Pharmacy Foundation has awarded the Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy a grant to fund a “Pharmacist Provision of Preconception Care Through Medication Therapy Management (MTM)” study.

The goals of the research are to raise awareness and educate community pharmacists about preconception care and providing preconception care through MTM, and to pilot a proof-of-concept model demonstrating the impact pharmacists can have in providing elements of preconception care through a potentially sustainable reimbursement model.
