The Ada midget football team raised more than $10,000 on Oct. 13, during its first-ever Cancer Walk at War Memorial Stadium in Ada. All proceeds were donated to Not By Choice Outreach in Kenton.
More than 300 Hardin County residents preregistered and participated in this event. Organizers thanked them for their support as well as from more than 100 sponsors and countless donors.
Prior to the start of the walk, an invocation was given by Steve Hellman. This was followed by three featured speakers:
• David Dellifield,
• Debbie Combs Shepherd,
• and CEO/Founder of Not By Choice Outreach (NBCO), Marcia Retterer.
The Ada High School Marching Bulldogs took first place in marching band competition held at Copley High School on Saturday.
Class B and C (based on school enrollment) were combined at this competition and despite being a smaller school and much smaller band, Ada was still able to come away with the first place trophy.
Undeterred by the extremely cold, windy conditions, the band received its first-ever superior rating for music.
Giant Ragweed and Marestail (horseweed) are problem weeds in some Hardin County soybean fields this fall. A survey of 105 Hardin County soybean fields was conducted in September to determine which weeds are considered problem weeds in the county.
There were also some fields with some volunteer corn, which had grown from the previous year’s crop. This on-going research is conducted annually by OSU Extension to find out which weeds are competing with crops for nutrients and moisture, which decreases yields while increasing herbicide and other input costs.
