The southbound lanes of Interstate 75 between county Road 99 and U.S. 224, within the city of Findlay, will be shifted overnight Monday, July 2, into the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 3.
Both lanes of Interstate 75 southbound in that area are currently located toward the center of the highway, next the median. Monday night’s traffic shift will move them to the right, allowing traffic to travel on the two outside lanes. Access to all Findlay exits from Interstate 75 southbound will be maintained.
WAPAKONETA - The Ada Alligator swim team lost a boys and girls dual meet at West Ohio Aquatic League foe Wapakoneta on a very warm Monday evening back on June 18.
The Gator boys were edged by an extremely close 316-314 score. Meanwhile, the Ada girls were defeated by Wapak, 416-182. The host Waves thus won the combined meet team score, 762-496.
The Ada boys and girls squads each fell to 1-2 in dual meets with the losses.
Quite a few Gator swimmers won multiple races. Tea Griffith led the way for the Ada girls with five firsts in the 7-8 age division.
“It will be hot and humid from Thursday to Sunday with little to no chance of rain. FIRST ALERT DAYS are up for excessive heat Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures may reach 100 degrees Saturday afternoon, the first 100 degree day since July 17, 2012.”
Intellicast is predicting a high of 92 in Ada on Saturday.
In any case, crank up the A/C and drink plenty of fluids Friday through Sunday.
