Want to quickly know the answer to most any question?
Students from 10 schools can probably recite the correct answer on Monday because academic scholars from 10 area schools will be here for a Quiz Bowl competition.
The quizzing starts at 4:30 p.m. and will last until 8 p.m. when a champion is crowned. Junior and senior high school students from Ada, Bluffton, Cory-Rawson, Crestview, Elida, Hardin Northern, Kenton, Liberty Benton, Riverdale, and USV will be on hand for the annual Ada Invitational this year.
Paul Craun, member of the Ada Community Improvement Corp (CIC) and construction professional, announced that he has filed to run for Hancock County commissioner in the May 8 Republican primary.
He will be emphasizing “Leading Together” as the theme for his campaign, bringing together business, community and government.
He has experience in supporting local economic development groups and in working with many small and large businesses and community groups across northwest Ohio.
My name is Mark Light, a 4-H educator with OSU Extension in Hardin County. My focus of educating for the community includes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Social Media and Technology.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from ONU and a master’s degree in college student personnel from Bowling Green State.
My family and I live in Ada. While attending ONU, I met Kim, my wife of 22 years. She is the Ada School treasurer. We have two children: Megan a freshman and Justin is senior at AHS.
Ada Rotarian Bob Ward, and his wife, Karen, may be in Florida right now but they haven't left Rotary behind. During a Rise Against Hunger event organized by a local Rotary group, they helped package 30,000 meals for children in Nicaragua with about 250 volunteers at the Fernandina Beach Rec Center. Bob, a retired engineering prof, sports an ONU t-shirt, while helping. Karen is active in civic and religious activities in Ada.
Meet Bella. Bella is a one year old female Daschund/Terrier mix. She weighs 14 pounds. Can you give Bella her 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.
