Recovered from illness, team returns to competition

LIMA--The Ada High School swim team finished a solid fourth at the nine-team Lima Senior Invitational behind some winning individual finishes Saturday, December 27.

“Saturday’s meet was definitely a learning experience,” said first-year Ada swim coach Ashley Robey. “We got a late start to the meet and ended up with only 10 minutes of warm up time instead of 20. Then there were issues with the starters and technical difficulties with the operating systems. 

HARDIN COUNTY–A class to help farmers prepare to become private pesticide applicators has been planned for January 19 at the Hardin County Extension office, 1021 West Lima Street, Kenton. In Ohio, pesticide applicators are required by law to have an Ohio Pesticide Applicators License to purchase and apply restricted-use chemicals.

These pesticides include but are not limited to herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. This class will begin at 12:00 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. There is a $30 registration fee which covers books for those enrolled.

CORRECTION: The phone number for Crosby's and Mellow is 567-800-9284.

In the little brown cabin at 402 S. Main, two new businesses are opening: Crosby’s barbershop and Mellow hair studio. The space has been divided for two distinct but complementary businesses, one operated by barber Blake Pifer and the other by his partner, stylist Yessica Arriaga.

During the week of December 12, Pifer started the “soft open” of his barber shop. This is a homecoming for Pifer, an Ada native who has been cutting hair in Columbus for eight years. Arriaga, who grew up in Columbus, graduated from cosmetology school eight years ago. The pair are making a home in Ada at the same time that they are opening their businesses together.
