The Ada High School Winter Guard placed third among 33 color guards at the Winter Guard International regional competition in Nashville this weekend.
The guard qualified for the exhibition performance on Saturday evening. In this Facebook photo, the Winter Guard makes a dramatic pose in bare feet, which means the Tennessee weather is a little warmer than here.
Harry Potter is this year’s theme, thus the brooms and wands.

There’s a new sports cheer and it was devised by none other than a member of the Ottawa-Glandorf school board.
The antics were displayed at the O-G girls basketball game on Tuesday at King Horn Gym in Ada. Will this catch on nationwide like The Wave did a few years ago? Maybe...
The “inventor” says the cheer doesn’t have a name yet. The Ada Icon suggests calling it “Bowling for Baskets” or “The Wobbler.”
The weather and the calendar notwithstanding, this week has been Spring Break at Ada Exempted Village Schools.
Ada Elementary student Richard Moed took the occasion to visit the Neil Armstrong Space Museum in nearby Wapakoneta, where he piloted a Gemini spacecraft in a docking maneuver, landed a LEM on the moon, and landed a Shuttle after its journey around the Earth. Not a bad day's work for a fourth grader.
Thanks to Ada Icon photographer Ken Collins, here are pictures of Richard and what is available to see and do at the museum.
The Blanchard Pleasant Buckeye 4-H Club met Monday evening at the Hardin Northern School with 48 members, more than 20 guests, and 9 advisors present. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Heidi Trachsel and the 4-H pledge led by Emori Criner. Roll call was answered by naming your favorite fast food place. New members received green folders to keep all the handout materials together.
Meet Brady. Brady is a 2 year old, neutered male boxer mix. He weighs 72 pounds. Brady is available now. Can you give him 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.
