Ada's latest news

Holiday greeting cards by Karen Ward available at Gallery for the Arts

There's two new Ada holiday gift items on the shelf this month.

Ada photographer Karen Ward has created two new holiday cards featuring Ada scenes, which are now available at Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St.

Ruth Roiter says that this is the third holiday season that Ward has created cards specific to Ada.

The first card shows the statute of Dr. Henry Solomon Lehr located on the Ohio Northern University campus. The message inside the card reads: “Twas the night…” we dream. Wishing you a season of lights, stories and songs of joy and peace.”

We see nutrition labels every day on nearly everything we eat. But what good are they if we don’t understand what we’re actually eating?

Here are some ways to decode the label and some of the ingredients we often see.

Let's start at the beginning.

1) Serving Size

This is found at the top of the label. People often overlook or don’t understand a food’s serving size. It’s important to pay attention to portion size to make sure you’re not eating too much (which could lead to weight gain) or too little (not getting the full nutritional value).
