I am writing in support of the Ada Exempted Village Schools’ 2.9 mill permanent improvement levy that will face the Ada voters on November 6, 2018. 

As a RENEWAL tax, this five-year levy is not a new tax nor a tax increase.  The purpose of this tax is to provide permanent improvements for the school district.   By definition, this includes assets or site improvements which will last longer than five years.  Therefore, this levy is not permitted to be used for general operations, including salaries and benefits.

Do you have a fond memory of Clark Hall?

Some people sell pies, this young lady sells bricks. 

Emily Baker, a student intern in the ONU advancement office, offers bricks for sale for $50 each. The bricks are from Clark Hall, which was demolished last summer.

Clark served as a residence hall for many years and those who lived there at one time were the prime purchasers. The bricks serve as a fond memory of Clark, and certainly are a permanent memento.

Emily sold the inscribed bricks at the activities tent at Homecoming last weekend. If you missed your chance to buy one, call the advancement office at 419-772-2035.

• They have placed a large box in the Ada High School office hoping that members of the community will fill it with gifts to make Christmas happier for those in the military service who are serving overseas.
• Also, they would like to be informed of the names of the men and women from Hardin County who currently are stationed in a foreign land.
