Since beginning an exercise class in January, Harold Cotsamire (far right in photo) has developed a program that draws about 20 people on Monday and Friday mornings. The exercise routine begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Ada United Methodist Church. The class includes standing, sitting, and stretching movements.
He explained that everyone is welcome---men and women, no age requirement, no advanced signup, you don't have to be a member of the church to attend, just a desire to stay healthy. And, it's free.

The Cessna Minutemen 4-H club held a meeting on June 5, 2017.
The meeting was called to order by Zac Briendenbach. Wade Crooks led the Pledge of Allegiance and Will Jones led the 4-H Pledge. Bradley Flowers did the roll call and the question was "your favorite football team". The Treasurer reported that some members still need to pay for the 4-H project books and 4-H dues. The Health & Safety Report was about "Don't drink too much coffee". A demonstration was given by Emily Jones, Will Jones and Bradley Flowers with their chicken, goose and turkey projects. The Recreation Leaders let the club know that Tag would be held after the meeting.
Meet Hazel. She is a 5 year old female walker hound mix. She weighs 36 pounds and is available now. Can you give Hazel 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.
HOBY kids learned about community service on Saturday when they assisted in Ada and nearby towns.

Roger Guyton, who served during the Cuban Missile Crisis, was honored for his service when he attended the Flag City Honor Flight during a busy 24 hours last week.
He and 82 other veterans, along with their guardians, left Toledo Airport, flew into Baltimore, where a police escort wisked them to D.C.
The group, from northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, stopped to see the World War II, Korean, Vietnam, and Air Force memorials.
The cement is poured, soon the sides will go up on the 40x80 foot addition to Grace Gospel Church. The new fellowship hall will provide space for children's ministries. The multipurpose area will be large enough to host outreach events and church dinners. (Monty Siekerman photo)
