Brooklyn Andreasen, 6, (left) and her sister Autumn, 9, tell Santa what they'd like for Christmas while at the Ada Public Library on Wednesday. If you haven't caught Santa recently, consider yourself a hermit because, just in the last week, he has been at ReStore, The Inn, the Depot, and the senior citizens luncheon at the school, and the library.

Henry means "ruler of the house." In Ada, that "house" is the local police department.
Henry, a 19-month-old German shepherd, is the new addition to the local force...and he rules that house with his friendliness. But one druggie thought otherwise.
Henry has been on the police force for only a month, but he has helped apprehend one suspect who will be charged with using illegal drugs.
But leading police to drugs is not his only job. For example, he is trained to search for articles like tossed wallets and guns, search a suspect or location, and protect his handler.
John Hohn, director of economic development for Hardin County, will be honored at an open house retirement party later this week.
The event is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, Dec. 18, at the Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance, 225 S. Detroit St., Kenton. A noon lunch is open for persons who rsvp to 419-673-4131.
