There's a famous 111-year-old Ada resident getting a facelift this week. It's the building housing the Ada Herald and Body Works in the 200 block of North Main Street.
The building is also known by residents who look into the sky and see "IOOF 427 1905."
The means that the top floor of the building was one the lodge all for the Ada Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a once popular society at the turn of an earlier century.
On April 23 the Ada Police Department took a report of a missing juvenile.
The incident occurred in Ada. According to the report, Elizabeth Saracson was spending the night at her sister's on Friday April 22. Elizabeth was last seen around 10 p.m. that night at her sister’s house.
Elizabeth is 14 years old and is a white female with brown hair slightly below her shoulders and brown eyes. Elizabeth has a mole on her neck.
Elizabeth is 5-8 and 140 pounds. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a Bowling Green t-shirt. She is also carrying a blue duffel bag with the name “Lizzy” in sparkle letters.
More hanging baskets will grace Main Street this year. And, ONU will do its part to add to the beauty of Main Street for pedestrians and motorists.
People like the grand floral display. The Village has had many positive comments about them since the project began two years ago. Each year the number of baskets has increased, thanks to generous donors.
The large, multicolored baskets are well cared for by Cheryl Geer of the street department, who is a master gardener. She has some help from Jamie Hall, assistant village administrator who has an extensive background in horticulture. A dab of fertilizer helps, too.
"That's how you do it, pet the snake with two fingers," says James Craker, 3, who attended an ONU Earth Week program at the pharmacy building Friday afternoon. Four members from the Toledo Zoo put on a program about conservation and care of animals as well as telling about strides made at the zoo in recent years. Watch the Icon this weekend for lots more zoo photos. (Monty Siekerman photo)
