Bill was an 18-year-old recent graduate of Cleveland East High School, at the time.

A story by Zack Meisel, Northeast Ohio Media Group, posted a fascinating story about Bill and the Indians and Larry Doby, the first African American baseball player in the American League.

After nearly three decades of watching others turn his corn into tortillas and tortilla chips, Hardin County farmer Denny Hensel is doing it himself, in Ada. 

His Harvest Pride Tortilla Chips were featured in the Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance’s annual Member Appreciation Day luncheon on Friday, at the chamber’s headquarters in Kenton. Chamber officials used the occasion to announce a new Farm-to-Table marketing initiative that they hope will spawn similar agribusiness efforts here.

The Girl Scout Puzzle Path at the Ada park is a very popular place in the summer. Wildlife apparently like to hunt for clues.
