Final score: Ada 42 - Bluffton 17. The game box score is attached.

You can't find an older high school football series in northwestern Ohio than when Ada and Bluffton meet on the field. The two teams have played each other annual since the early 1920s and perhaps earlier.

This year's winner was Ada, taking a 13-0 first quarter lead, and extending it to 35-10 after three periods. The win helps Ada's chances for a playoff berth.

New water and sewer lines coming...and much more

Estimated cost $1.1 million
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, October 20, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
A portion of Willeke Avenue will have new water and sanitary sewer lines, the road will be improved, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks installed...but at a cost.

The work is estimated to cost about $1.1 million, and homeowners may be assessed for part of the cost, about $6,000 per lot.

The project will help with the street flooding during rains. The water and sewer lines are very old.

The area considered phase 1 extends from Ackerman to Orders, which is the east portion of Willeke. The remainder of the street will be phase 2, which is still in the planning stages.
