Ada's latest news

We have taken into consideration all of the viewpoints we’ve heard

Meri Skilliter, Ada school superintendent, posted the following letter on the school website concerning updates for the 2020-21 school year.

I hope this update finds you enjoying some of the wonderful things summertime has to offer. I know that details about what school will look like when we return are on many people’s minds.

The Board and I thank those who came to our meeting and spoke on this subject. While I, too, have many questions (and few answers yet), I wanted to at least let you know the timeline we hope to follow in getting our plan to you.

Burke O. Ziegler,  70, died on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, at 7:26 p.m. at the Bridge Hospice Care Center of Findlay.

He was born on Oct. 7, 1949 in Kenton, Ohio, to the late George and Marjorie (Ford) Ziegler. On July 30, 1982 Burke married Peggy Kahler and she survives in Ada.

Burke was a lifelong farmer. He was a U.S. Air Force veteran who served during the Vietnam War. Burke was a member of the Farmers Bureau and the NRA.  He enjoyed farming, hunting, fishing and working in his shop.   

It was his wish to be cremated.  Burial will be held at a later date in Huntersville Cemetery.

Traditional high school camps are canceled

Traditionally summer is a busy place on the Ohio Northern University campus with dozens of high school students in a variety of camp settings.

This summer things are different on campus as all traditional summer camps for high school students are canceled due to the covid-19 pandemic.

The enclosed shelter house under construction at the Ada park now has footers in place. Construction started earlier this month and should be completed by early fall.
