Posted by Staff on Tuesday, March 4, 2025

By Cort Reynolds

FINDLAY__Ada High School sophomore Cheznie Vieira competed in the girls district wrestling tournament at Findlay on Sunday, March 2.

For her first match in the 16-girl bracket of the 120 lbs. division, Vieira lost a close 3-1 decision to Defiance Tinora junior Addilyn Delarber.

That loss dropped her into the consolation bracket, where at best she could finish third and still qualify for the state tournament March 7-9 with a top-four finish. 

In her first match in the consolation division, Vieira defeated Avon Lake freshman Bianca Craig with a 3-0 shutout decision victory.

Cost of Village storage building use is tied to electricity

Posted by Staff on Monday, March 3, 2025

By Paula Pyzik Scott

A recent Council item (page 14 of February 18 packet) creating an agreement for use of a storage building by Keith's Hardware had me scratching my head. Was there to be no rent charged for the building?

An email exchange with Village Administrator Jamie Hall has provided further explanation for the arrangement. As has been done with past tenants including the previous owner of the hardware store, Keith's Hardware will pay for electricity used in the Public Works building which includes lights, use of maintenance shop equipment (welder, drills, grinders, etc) along with trickle charge equipment for trucks and door openers. 

The December 2024 electricity bill was $374.50 and the size of the building used by Keith's Hardware is 80' x 60' (4,800 square feet).

Letter: Ada First UMC to celebrate 10-year building anniversary

Posted by Staff on Monday, March 3, 2025

Artifacts from prior churches sought for March 16 celebration

From Rev. Brandi Grant-Rigsby and Ada First UMC 10-Year Anniversary Planning Team 

Greetings,

“We are the church, you are the church. We are the church together!”

Can you believe it will soon be 10 years that we have been in our current church building? A decade of Sunday services, baptisms, weddings, memorial services, potlucks, meetings, missions, and Sunday school classes!

A little history—Methodism originated in Ada in 1852 with a few settlers who began a class meeting in an old school house on Main Street and Montfort Avenue. In 1861, the Methodists assisted the Presbyterians in building the old Presbyterian Church and they worshipped together!
