It's difficult to ignore those planets swirling overhead in the Ada Public Library this summer. It's all part of the library's summer reading program. On Wednesday Ada chambers received an update on the summer program from Natalie Walton, youth services coordinator.
Ada Area Chamber of Commerce membership reached a new high this month as four new businesses became members, according to Deb Curlis, chamber director.
Bringing membership to 86, the newest members are:
• Ada Physical Therapy, with new owner Tracy Scalfara
• Blanchard Place Assisted Living, Kenton
• Rhonda Crouse, realtor with King Thompson Realtors
• Dan Newkirk of Heapy Engineers
These members were introduced at the June 19 chamber breakfast held in Ada Public Library. Natalie Walton of the library staff updated members of this summer’s reading program (see photo above).
A regional summer tradition will continue when the Lima Symphony Orchestra celebrates Independence Day with its fifth annual Patriotic Pops Concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, at Ohio Northern University.
Among performers is the Noteworthy Community Choir, under the direction of Vicki Mills, ONU adjunct music instructor. The local choir will perform during the intermission of the concert.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, will be held on the sculpture mall east of McIntosh Center, between Presser and Weber halls.
In case of inclement weather, the event will be held in the ONU King-Horn Field House.

If you don't give an honest answer when your doctor asks you how much you exercise, you're not alone. Many people don't tell the truth to their doctors, according to a new study.
Unfortunately, withholding or misrepresenting information to your doctor hinders his or her ability to give you optimal care. Still, 60 to 80 percent of people surveyed in this new study said they had stretched the truth or withheld information with their doctors before.

With flowers coloring the landscape and pollen filling the air, we are surrounded by the beauty of the warmer season, and the insects join in the fervor as well. Among the insects that pose both benefits and hazards, bees, hornets and wasps often stand out in our minds. We often unexpectantly encounter or are followed by these unwelcome visitors. Sometimes even within the confines of our homes, they pay a visit.
