After 20 years of successful teaching at Ohio Northern, Judy Hruschka decided to go to med school.
The long-time Ada resident did just that at the age of 53. She retired from her medical practice in Kenton last month and has turned her attention to gardening, something she and her husband Peter have always enjoyed doing.
Where's the railroad track? Where's the water tower? Where's Waldo? It was a foggy day in Ada on Monday. School started with a two-hour delay but the fog won and school was cancelled. Ken Collins offers this early-morning hour photos.

A gutty defensive stop ended the game as the Bulldogs won a 27-26 Homecoming thriller over the visiting Crestview Knights.
Down by one with four seconds to play and the ball on the Ada two yard line, Crestview elected to keep their offense on the field. Knight quarterback Drew Kline took the snap and felt immediate pressure from Bulldog defender Ethan Swaney, forcing the sophomore quarterback to throw a wobbly pass into the end zone.
Several days of rain and light showers put the first annual Hardin County Pullers fall brawl In jeopardy on Saturday, but with a lot of work the area was ready for the contest. The event began only 40 minutes late. Most of the pullers showed up to test their skill and machines, but the crowd was reduced considerably compared to the 4,000 who attended in May.

KALIDA - The Ada cross country team competed at the Wildcat Invitational Saturday morning, with five harriers posting personal-best times at the Kalida Fish and Game Club course.
The Lady Bulldogs finished ninth out of 11 teams while the Ada boys came in 17th out of 19 squads.
"The boys ran with four other conference schools; we fell a little behind Bluffton who took 14th place, while recently defeated Allen East did not have enough boys to place in order to compare our two teams," said Ada coach Josh Klein.
