United Way Letter to the Editor

October 18, 2017

Dear Editor:

The 2018 United Way of Hardin County 2018 Campaign is now underway, and we are working hard to reach our goal of $220,000.   
 
Chris and I are honored to serve as Honorary Co-Chairs of the Campaign this year because we believe in the 20 nonprofit, results-oriented programs that United Way supports, programs that are vital to serving individual and family needs in a variety of areas, including health care, children, youth, seniors, and people in crisis.  Like many in our community, we want to insure that those who benefit from these essential programs can continue to do so.

No smoke, no fire

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 18, 2017

No smoke, no fire.

The arrival of a fire truck interrupted Meri Skilliter's talk at the weekly Rotary Club lunch meeting at The Inn on Tuesday.

The school superintendent (seen at the far right chatting with other Rotarians) was speaking to the club about the renewal tax levy being put to voters to decide in November.

There was no fire, but a defective smoke alarm, which firemen replaced. Rotarians, employees, hotel guests, and other diners soon returned to The Inn and continued the day they had planned. (Monty Siekerman photo)

The Music Man is quite a treat

Alan Seibert woos his Vancrest audience
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 18, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Alan Seibert knows how to woo a crowd. Known as The Music Man, he had the residents of Ada Vancrest singing and clapping along to his guitar playing on Tuesday afternoon.

A large group of the residents was on hand to enjoy his performance. He also plays piano, harmonica, and drums, but the Ada senior citizens seem to like his singing and guitar playing, so that's what he sticks to when he is in Ada. Because of his popularity, he is invited to the retirement facility every two months to entertain.
