Volunteers with the American Red Cross of Hardin County responded to a home fire on Friday night near Ada.
Red Cross volunteers Arin Tracy and Daryl Flowers responded to the call for help at the home on State Route 309 and provided the family of assistance for immediate needs such as shelter, food and clothing. They also provided the family with Red Cross comfort kits of personal hygiene items.
Red Cross volunteers will continue to work with the family, providing additional assistance as needed and help with recovery planning including information, resources and referrals.
Here we share thoughts and insights from local teachers who lift up and inspire our students. Let us lift up and inspire these educators as well. Today we meet Barth Montel, a 20-year Ada educator.
As you get to know Barth from his responses, it’s easy to hear his passion. American industrialist Lee Iacocca said, “In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less.”
Barth Montel is certainly one of the best. Thanks, Barth, for your time and dedication to our students. May your passion be contagious.

When a person in business hears the word "strike," he cringes.
A "strike" in baseball isn't good either, if you are the batter. But a "strike" in bowling is a winner. And a business bowling tournament on Tuesday was a winner for scholarships.

The Ada Rotary Club sponsored the tourney at Norada Lanes to raise funds for two $1,000 scholarships that the civic club awards each year: bowling for a good cause, and fun, too.
