A team of Ada area residents returned from their June mission trip to Uganda.
The team, led by Bob Gould and his wife Abby (formerly Abby Epley) headed to Uganda on June 4 to help build a school and share The Gospel as part of their mission work with their local church, Crossroads Church of God located on State Route 309 west of Ada.
Bob says most of the people on the islands of Lake Victoria live in mud huts without electricity or running water. He has gone to the African nation six times to help build churches and schools. The nation is roughly 85% Christian and 12% Muslim.

Paul Logsdon trims growth from his glorious garden at 127 W. Montford.
About every square foot of his property is a sight to behold. Paul landscaped and planted the beautiful yard in just a few short years.
He retired from ONU where he was director of Heterick Memorial Library for 28 years. He must have selected many gardening books over the years, taken them home, and learned from them.
His yard is in continuous boom all season with flowering plants, shrubs, and trees. (Monty Siekerman)

A secret garden is in plain sight of many passersby along Ada's North Main Street.
The well-tended and designed garden features mostly herbs.
Owned by the Tom Elsasser family for 35 years, the home and garden is located across from the Methodist Church and next to the library.
It's a pleasant view for the many drivers and walkers who pass by throughout the day. Next time you are in the area, slow down, glance over and enjoy the scene.
