‘Agricultural Conservation, Protecting Water: Keeping Soil and Nutrients in the Field’ will be the theme of the Hardin County Field Day on Friday, Aug. 26.
This is the second year for this field day, cooperatively sponsored by the following partners: The Nature Conservancy, John Deere, Findlay Implement, Chris Kurt, Randy Boose, OSU Extension, Hardin and Putnam Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Ohio Farm Bureau/Blanchard River Demonstration Farms Network, Ohio Department of Agriculture and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Dave Hammond, a Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent, fingerprints children at Ada War Memorial Park on Friday.
He also took DNA samples. He described to to the youngsters, who volunteered to be printed and have DNA recorded, the value of having such information.
One man, who lost his daughter in a plane crash at sea many years ago, said having had DNA would have been helpful in identifying her remains. DNA is also helpful in returning lost children to their parents.
The activity took place during a free lunch program offered this summer by ReStore Community Center.
...it's a bird. It's a plane. (Yeah, it's a plane, but not your usual plane.) Ken Collins spotted a most unusual aircraft hovering over the Ada skies today. We invite Icon viewers to tell us about this unidentified flying object. Email us at [email protected].
The Ada Public Library is pleased to announce that they've been awarded a 2nd Year of the Guiding Ohio Online Americorps grant, which means that the Library's Tech Volunteer, Max Gauthier, will be assisting community members at the Ada Public Library through the summer of 2017!
