The containers will be available during office hours, Monday through Saturday. Please limit the shred to 5 boxes, no larger than 20-inches wide by 10-inches high.
More than 200 vehicles passed through the Drug Take-back sites in Ada, Forest, and Kenton Saturday morning where volunteers collected hundreds of pounds of unused prescription and over the counter medications for disposal.
The event was a cooperative effort of the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District, Hardin Memorial Hospital, The Hardin County Sheriff's Office, The Forest Police Deptment and the Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy.
More hanging baskets will grace Main Street this year. And, ONU will do its part to add to the beauty of Main Street for pedestrians and motorists.
People like the grand floral display. The Village has had many positive comments about them since the project began two years ago. Each year the number of baskets has increased, thanks to generous donors.
The large, multicolored baskets are well cared for by Cheryl Geer of the street department, who is a master gardener. She has some help from Jamie Hall, assistant village administrator who has an extensive background in horticulture. A dab of fertilizer helps, too.

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.
