How many children can pet a puppy at one time? The answer: lots.
Thursday was Treat Day at the Ada Schools. The visit of five puppies to the second grade classes was a treat for the kids...and the children gave treats to the puppies.
The handlers, all ONU students, visited the second graders in their classrooms. The children learned about dogs in general, how they are trained to be service dogs, and asked questions about canines.

Last spring's rains caused considerable damage and inconvenience to property and people on the southwest side of Ada, especially to the campus where damage was reported to be $1 million.
A project is now in the design stage to fix a perennial problem whenever high rains occur.
The project will relieve flooding on West Lima Avenue and the campus retention ponds near the stadium and west of Fraternity Circle.
But, current thinking means trees will be eliminated in the heart of campus, an area known as the Tundra. Construction crews will be in the way and dirt/mud will be a temporary eyesore, but flooding must be resolved.

A Medication Disposal Day will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 23, in the parking lot between Rite Aid and Northern on Main.
Those who want to dispose of expired or unused prescriptions as well as over-the-counter medications may give them to law enforcement officers at that time.
The meds will be disposed of in a safe, legal, and environmentally conscious way.
Here's a photo of last year's volunteers during which time 32 people disposed of unwanted meds.
For Icon readers living closer to Kenton, the event will be held at the hospital there at the same time.
