Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, February 13, 2015

Dr. Mark Shull, D.D.S., opened his dental practice in Ada 52 years ago and continues to work fulltime.

Why did you select Ada for your practice?
I grew up in a small town, Hicksville, so looked for a small college town. Ada has been a wonderful town for me and my family. My wife Julie and I have three grown children who continue to live in Ohio. Our daughter Lorraine lives in Bowling Green while Sherry and Stephanie live in Columbus. Ada has been a great place to raise a family. Julie taught kindergarten for 30 years.

ReStore now collection point for dog and cat food donations

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, February 13, 2015

For those who have a heart to help people keep their pets in their homes, there is now a location in Ada where dog and cat food can be donated.

ReStore Community Center at 210 N. Main will help the Hardin County Humane Society by being a collection point for persons desiring to help dogs and cats stay with their owners.

Sometimes people have to give up their beloved pets because they can no longer afford to feed them, although they have had their pet for many years and the pet has become a part of the family. The Society also distributes donated pet food to people who foster cats and dogs.
