Dear Ada Voters,

Our library is great. They have books that I like. Some of my favorites are InvestiGators, Who Was? and books about history. They have books for all ages. They have board books for babies, graphic novels, chapter books, picture books and a bunch of other types for adults.  

Over the summer, the library had a summer reading program. You get tickets when you read books and can win prizes. The programs I liked were digging for dinosaur bones, the pool party and the one about reptiles. During the reptile one, I got to hold a real snake.

MEDIA RELEASE__OhioHealth Hardin Memorial Hospital will offer special hours for lung cancer screenings from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 14, to help people at increased risk of lung cancer access early detection.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. Early detection offers the best chance for successful treatment, making regular screening an important tool for people at increased risk.

Lung cancer screening is recommended for adults ages 50 to 80 who currently smoke or formerly smoked and have a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years. A pack-year is the equivalent of smoking one pack of cigarettes daily for one year.
