Carol Warmbrod is in the Vancrest Ada resident spotlight this month. A story and photo of her are featured in this month’s Vancrest newsletter.
Carol attended Ada school and graduated from Hardin Northern. A farm girl, she grew up on a farm where there were cows, pigs and chickens. An avid baseball fan, she played that sport and basketball in high school.
She and her husband, Dale, a farmer, were married in 1957, after high school graduation. They had two children. Carol worked for a time as a secretary at Ohio Northern University and later in Blossom Gallery, floral shop, Kenton.
Ada awoke to one of the rare true snowfalls of the season this morning. It first delayed and then closed area schools. It also brought out the shovels, the snow plows, the window scrapers and the boots. It made a pot of coffee seem heavenly. Here are two snow scenes from Lima Avenue taken by Bel Mancuso.
The Ada boys' and girls junior high basketball games vs. Allen East are rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 5 pm. All junior high and elementary practices are cancelled today, Feb. 13.
Pre-sale tickets for the boys' varsity basketball games vs. Lincolnview on Friday will be on sale in the HS office from 1 to 2 p.m., Friday, Feb. 14.

On Valentine’s Day, you can give your spouse or life partner a traditional gift such as candy or flowers.
But once you’ve done that, why not think about something that can provide longer-lasting benefits for your loved one? Specifically, think about ways to provide a lifetime of financial protection.
You can do this in several ways, including:
Protection while you’re alive – As you know, it’s usually necessary for both partners or spouses to work to maintain a household – so if your income were to disappear, even temporarily, it could present a big problem.
ONU’s HealthWise Pharmacy will be at Beatitudes tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 14, between 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., offering blood glucose checks to patrons.
A blood glucose screening checks the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood stream – too high or too low glucose could indicate a serious medical condition, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
These checks are part of a partnership between Beatitudes community center and Ohio Northern University’s HealthWise Pharmacy, offering free health screenings to residents in the community, according to Deb Curlis of Beatitudes, and Dr. Clay Miller of HealthWise.
