Domestic Violence Awareness Month
By Monty Siekerman
Members of the board of Safe Haven of Hardin County Domestic Violence Center and Ada village officials planted a butterfly bush at the Ada Depot gardens on Tuesday evening.
The bush is in memory of those who lost their lives to domestic violence and in honor of those who survived.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
