Meet Sammy. Sammy is a 4 year old neutered male shepherd mix. He weighs 47 pounds. No kids, please. Can you give Sammy a forever home?
To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
Enjoying Saturday's Gospel Sing are Elwanda Casper, a young 95 years, who drove herself to the concert, and her friend, Chloe Cole, with her pup, Pepper Ann. A story and more photos are below. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Dana Walters prayers were answered.
She organized a Gospel Sing at Ada War Memorial Park on Saturday, hoping for good weather...and the weather was perfect with temps in the mid 70s, a nice breeze, and plenty of sunshine.
Here, sisters Sandi and Kaylee of Alger were among several vocalists from Northwest Ohio who provided five hours of Christian music.
About 100 people enjoyed the music at any one time, sitting in the shade at picnic tables or in lawn chairs they brought with them. Several in the audience raised their arms in praise during the songs.
Name the most important August event in Ada. Is it:
• Farmers and Merchants Picnic
• Lincoln Highway Buy Way Sale
• Ada school starting
• ONU classes starting
• Hardin County Fair (okay, it's in September)
Perhaps something else?
You can now check the Ada calendar for August in the Icon's Hometown Happenings compiled by Darlene Bowers. There you will find everything taking place in Ada in August and September.
There are lots of events taking place in the next 61 days. The entire list is attached in a printer-friendly format.
