What classes are you taking this semester? Nicolas: Sociology, communications/economics, physics, film and lit, digital graphics, calculus, and Spanish 4.
What do you want to do after high school? Nicolas: I hope to become a therapist, earning my degree at ONU. I would like to travel to Austria and be a therapist at an international hotel since my German is not great. If I’m passionate enough about psychology I might become a professor, but I’m not sure yet though.
You are looking at Ada's board game king, Josh Walton. The Icon dropped in on a Star Wars board game underway on Friday at the Ada Public Library and watched the master at his craft.
The March Vancrest resident spotlight is on a familiar Ada resident, Evelyn “Myrtle” Krofft.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s she was Ada’s Welcome Wagon hostess.
Born in Detroit, she and her husband, Robert, moved to Ada after they were married in 1947.
Evelyn was a stay at home mom until her youngest child was 5. She soon went to work as the produce manager at the Ada IGA Food liner, now known as Community Market.
Evelyn says that she loved to travel with her family, going on many vacations to different states, either tent camping at state parks, sight-seeing, museums, zoos, and even caving.

Tom Dotson of Tommy Tire Sales & Alignment Center, 3032 State Route 309, Ada, and Leiber's Garage, 130 Vance St., Bluffton, and , has a 6 coupon special in March.
Here is a colorized post card from the Ada Public Library collection. On the back side it reads: "Oil wells were in the vicinity of County Road 20 and Tonwship Road 25." One was on the Stober farm in the 1920s.
Oil wells were also drilled in Orange Township and other rural sections around Ada and Bluffton. At the height of the oil boom there were 500 oil wells in rural Bluffton and Ada.
When driving on State Route 103 between Bluffton and Arlington, each time you see a brick farmhouse that is a sign that an oil well was drilled on that property.
