Ada's latest news

Let's see how well you remember your Latin. Try translating this: "Labor omnia vincit." It means: "Work conquers everthing." That's the phrase above this photo, which the Icon cropped out.

This is the Ada High School Latin Club from the 1967-68 school year. Names of the members are under the photo.

Does this belong to a math teacher, accountant, or just someone who loves to count? The Icon spotted this plate in Ada on a silver Cadillac.

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.
