Santa has his hands full and is happy to hear the Christmas wishes of Myah, 6, Bennett, 3, and Corbin, 7 months, at The Inn on Saturday.
They are the children of Justin and Jessica Keckler of Harrod. Kids not only had an opportunity to recite what they want for Christmas (parents, are you listening and taking notes) but also received a present and mighty fine breakfast from the buffet.
Parents received a photo of their child with Santa that was put into a magnetic frame, a perfect remembrance of the event. Asked how many attended, Inn General Manager Tallene Eichelberger said, "We always sell out."
Albert V. Joseph, 75, died on Friday, Dec. 2, 2016, at 12:04 p.m. at Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus.
He was born on Jan. 7, 1941, in Kentucky to Homer and Kati (Mullins) Joseph who preceded him in death. Albert was married to Marsha Hunsicker from 1969-1989 and they were divorced. She survives in Kenton, Ohio.
Albert previously worked for Superior Coach, Sheller Globe Division as a painter for 20 years.

Three locations in Ada and one in McGuffey are now selling 2017 dog tags for $16. Liberty National Bank, Metz Petz, Ada Animal Hospital, all in Ada, and the Ram's Roost in McGuffey have the license tags for sale.
If you have a dog and are caught without a license, you could be fined $25 to $150 for the first offense. Tags must be purchased by Jan. 31 for dogs 3 months old or older.
Money from the fees supports the dog warden and shelter. A lost dog with a tag is more likely to be returned to its owner.

April 1916 - “Cherry Cheer,” a new soft drink was being bottled here by Marty & Jones. In April 1916 J.A. Jones and A.G. Marty appeared before the Ada council asking for improvement of the alley past Friedly’s livery barn, for approach of trucks to a proposed soft-drink bottling business. Friedly’s barn was located east of the First National Bank in East Buckeye Avenue.
