President Heather Cox called the weekly meeting of the Ada Kiwanis Club to order at 12 noon on Tuesday, April 8 at McIntosh Center, ONU. The invocation was offered by Jon Umphress. Rachael Underwood and Josh Gammon were welcomed as guests. The birthday of member Matt Crawford (April 10th) was noted.
It’s a pretty neat program involving Ada fourth graders and Kevin Byrne, Ohio Northern University men’s basketball coach, and several team members.
During the second nine weeks of school ONU basketball players teamed up with Ada fourth graders up to improve fourth grader reading skills.
According to Ada fourth graders teachers Mrs. Butterfield, Mrs. Salyer and Mrs. Stuart: “Normally, each student is expected to read daily in order to receive 5 Reading Counts points per week by passing quizzes with at least 70 percent accuracy.”
My name is Brittney Archer and I am 17 years old. I took the project Vet Science 2: All systems go! I am a part of the Ada Barnyard Farmers.
I’ve been in the group for 7 years now. With the project Vet Science 2 I did several things.
I had to take the temperature, heart rate, and breathing rate of one of my animals. I had to put 4 different kinds of animal feed into 5 jars and try and see which was a better container for the feed.

The first meeting of the Hardin County Hootenannies was held at the Ag Credit meeting room. We want to thank Ag Credit for this opportunity to meet in such a nice place.
The meeting was called to order by president Laura Spradlin. Advisor Ray Davis asked if everyone saw the newspaper article that told about changes in the goat show and some other rules for the fair.
