The ONU Department of Art and Design recently held a week-long, intensive design camp for high school artists.
This year's theme was urban forests, something the Ada Tree Commission was glad to see and something any tree lover would support.
Zohie Dysert of Ada was among the campers, who all came up with dramatic posters. A few examples are posted below, including the one by Zohie.
The campers explored the fundamentals of visual communication. The program called on the artists and designers to make a powerful visual statement about trees to be put on banners.
Brandi Grant-Rigsby preached her first sermon at the Ada First United Methodist Church on Sunday morning, was given a welcome reception afterwards, and served communion at the 5 o'clock service.
She graduated from ONU in 2005, received the master's of divinity degree from Methodist Theological School of Ohio, served Caldwell Memorial United Methodist the past three years, and was ordained an elder in the church earlier this month.
Meet Roscoe Roscoe is a 7-year-old male lab mix. He weighs 104 pounds. Can you provide a forever home for Roscoe?
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.

Folks at Vancrest Ada enjoyed sodas on Tuesday to celebrate National Ice Cream Soda Day.
Here, Jane Coburn (left) and Colleen and Howard Schick share a soda, like kids did in the old days when there were drive-ins and you ordered through a speaker, then the food was brought to you by servers on roller skates. Who invented the soda?
There are many claims to the invention of this delicious treat. One such claim was made by a Mr. Robert McCay Green.
