Ada CC meet cancelled By Cort Reynolds
ADA - Ada was scheduled to run in the Galion Cross Country Festival Saturday, but the meet was cancelled.
With over 100 teams slated to compete, the event was deemed too risky to hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
To facilitate team bonding as well as for fun and motivation, Ada head coach Josh Klein had his team perform a fun run along the water at Indian Lake on Saturday in place of the Galion meet.
He reported that some parents of runners also participated in the run. "They had a blast," said Klein.
Charles F. “Chuck” Smith, Jr., 61, passed away on Friday, Sept. 18, 2020, in the early morning due to an auto accident.
He was born on Aug. 12, 1959 in Washington, D.C., to Charles and Etta (Kearns) Smith, Sr. His father preceded him in death and his mother survives in Harrod.
Chuck worked as an independent insurance agent. He was a member of the Abundant Life Assembly of God Church in Kenton. Chuck was always generous with his time, money and love. He loved people, Mexican food and was known as the “Cookie Man.” Chuck especially loved his children and grandchildren.
You have to be a long-time Ada resident to recognize this once-familiar business, Hal and Jean's Barbecue. It was located a 111 Central Aveue and had an easy phone number to remember: 4521. Just don't try dialing it; you'll need an operator's assistance.
