In Dr. Suzanne Darmer’s office, there was a large pink hatbox crammed with colorful handmade cards from Ada’s 1st through 6th graders. She pulled one out and read it out loud.
“‘You did an awesome job, we will miss you,’” she said, her voice growing thick with emotion. “Merry Christmas, sincerely, Robert. Eight years old.”
Another one read, “Great job! Have fun in your retirement!” written in perfect block letters.
“My heart is just so full of joy and tenderness!” she exclaimed. “It means they’ve opened their hearts to me, and vice-versa. It means we’ve walked through the last 10 years together.”
Ohio Northern University faculty member Katherine Krynak’s zeal for animals has led her to a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship opportunity in South America. Krynak, assistant professor of biology, has been selected to study in Ecuador for three months beginning March 2017.
Krynak’s study, “Effects of Introduced Trout on Glassfrogs of Ecuador and the Relationship to Amphibian Disease Susceptibility,” has the potential to make a positive impact on the region’s environment and people.
Here's a Bluffton Christmas card from 93 seasons ago. It's mailed with a 1 cent stamp to the Icon owner's grandmother, Bertha Hahn, 216 W. Elm St., Bluffton, from her bother, Werner Althaus in Toledo. The postmark is Dec. 15, 1923. The card's message is below.
The Spirit of Christmas has a little bit of Ada as seen here.
Here's two Facebook videos from the Hardin County Sheriff's Office. Watch the deputies deliver foot baskets donated by the Ada High School Future Farmers of America.
