Pete Previte’s sauce will be featured at the Kiwanis Club spaghetti supper tonight. Pete—of Italian heritage, of ONU teaching fame, and of Bluffton restaurant fame—makes the sauce for the main course every year. And, he makes cannoli, too. Last year 338 people dined at the Kiwanis fundraiser to support youth activities in the community. Tickets will be available at the door. Serving is from 4:30-7 p.m. in the Ada Schools cafeteria.

The Salvation Army in Hardin County is looking for volunteers to ring the bells for the annual Red Kettle drive in Ada. If interested, contact Kathy Reese at 419-889-1845 or e-mail her at [email protected].

A new ramp configuration on Interstate 75 opened Saturday as part of the reconstruction and widening of the interstate through Findlay and Hancock County.
A new flyover ramp carries I-75 southbound traffic onto U.S. 68/state Route 15 or to Lima Avenue, replaces the existing loop ramp. The new ramp is referred to as a flyover because the ramp is carried over I-75 traffic to make the connection to U.S. 68/state Route 15 or Lima Avenue.
Kirk Slusher, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director, said, "We expect the transition to be rather seamless as new signage will clearly direct motorists onto the ramp,” he said.
