The Ada High School musical "Oklahoma" will be performed in April. And, to help pay for props, costumes and equipment for this and other programs, the Ada Music Boosters are holding a detergent and trash bag fundraiser. The sale runs through April 15.
Jonathan Wey of Ohio Northern University has composed a piece titled "Unless the Lord Builds the House" for the formal dedication of the Ada First United Methodist Church on Sunday, April 12.
The 6-7 minute long piece will be sung by the church's Chancel Choir and ONU University Singers accompanied by piano and French horn. We caught up with Wey for a feature in our series "15 Minutes With."
It may not be The Bahamas, but these "regulars" at McDonald's are enjoying coffee on the patio at McDonald's. Robert and Marsha Stull (left) sip a cup of joe with Lee and Connie Crouse. A week ago snow piled high on the table, making the table look like a giant ice cream cone. (Monty Siekerman)

He may not be Paul Bunyon from American folklore, but his name is Paul.
On a cold morning when the temperature was only 11 degrees, Paul Osborne and his son Jonathan glean wood from Claire Vaubel's home on West Lima Avenue.
The work of the chopping and hauling will heat the Osborne home southeast of Ada for a time.
Paul says the adage holds true: He who chops his own wood is warm twice...once from the labor, no matter the outside temperature, and once from the heat the wood provides.
