Ada school board offered a supplemental contract to Tobin P. Smith to coach football during the 2021-22 school year. The board approved the issuance of the contract during the December board meeting held Thursday.
Smith of Urbana, is a secondary health and physical education teacher at Lima Senior and is a graduate of Wittenberg.
The varsity football coaching position became available at the resignation of Shawn Christopher this fall.
During the 2020 season Smith was associate head coach defensive coordinator at Lima Senior. From 2013 to 2019 he was head coach at Bellefontaine where his teams compiled a 46-27 record.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is asking white-tailed deer hunters in portions of Wyandot, Marion, and Hardin counties to submit samples of harvested deer for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) testing. Testing is voluntary but highly encouraged.
CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer populations. A CWD-positive wild Ohio white-tailed deer was recently identified in Wyandot County.
The Division of Wildlife will implement its CWD response plan, which includes enhanced surveillance in 15 townships in the surrounding area, to monitor for the disease.

2020 will be remembered for many things. One of which is the cancellation of several Ada organizational meetings.
The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and Ada Community Improvement Corp. (CIC) are among those feeling that pinch.
The chamber recently held its voting for 2021 board members via email. And, the CIC is doing the same thing.
Five CIC board members have terms expiring on Dec. 31. They are Jamie Hall, Brandt Miller, Eileen Peterman, Angela Polachek and Norm Rex. Those board members are on the ballot for terms in place for Jan. 1, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2022.
