Whatever happened to the efforts to have a dog park in Ada? Jimmy Wilson attended the park board monthly meeting on Monday night to say he was willing to take leadership to make the proposed park become a reality.
Wilson, a business professor and former village councilman, learned that a couple of years ago, the park board agreed to dedicate some land for a dog park. The property is located near the end of East Lehr Avenue, north of the horse arena.
In our continuing quest to stump our readers, can you identify where this is located. Answer: ONU Planetarium, a view of, perhaps Saturn with a ring, inlaid in brick on the east side of the building, which can be seen by drivers along Lincoln Ave.
Upper-level design students from Ohio Northern University will host a Grafik Intervention on Friday, April 22, from 8 to 10 p.m. in Ada.
The event will take place at the historic Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, located in the business district.
In addition, an exhibit will highlight the history and significance of the depot beginning at 8 p.m. Parking will be limited to the east end of the depot’s parking lot.
Corn needs to be planted during suitable conditions and not by a calendar date. For northwestern Ohio, the probability for optimal yields occurs when corn is planted between April 25 and May 10.
After this date, yields generally decline because of a shorter growing season. Corn planted before this time period will often have weakened or poor stands because of extended cool, wet conditions.
This optimal planting date window allows plants to take advantage of longer periods of daylight, pollinate earlier, and mature before a killing frost.

What a difference a week of warm weather makes.
Soil temperatures are warming up and fields are starting to dry. Sprayers and fertilizer trucks are starting to roll. Spring planting season is almost upon us, providing the rain forecast later this week doesn’t slow things down.
It is still early, and for northwestern Ohio, the probability for optimal yields occurs when corn is planted between April 25 and May 10.
