Ada sixth grade boys basketball team took on Allen East during a Saturday game-fest at Indian Lake. Ken Collins shares these photos of the action. AE won the game, which means the local rivalry will continue for many seasons.
Today, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), in partnership with Ohio Campus Compact, announced a $325 grant for a campus project at Ohio Northern University as part of a new mini-grant program announced at the Propel Ohio 2019 Collegiate Leadership Summit at Bowling Green State University in November.
Students who attended the Propel Conference were invited to apply for grants of up to $500 to support their community outreach projects. The award will be used toward a project to promote the use of reusable shopping bags.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen young people making their voices heard, getting involved, rallying, marching,” said Brown.
This photo is from the 1953 Ada centennial souvenir program. It is a photograph from an advertisement for the J.R. Spar farm, producers and distributor of certified seed since 1935.
The "friendly acres" includes corn hybrids, wheat, oats, soybeans. The farm was located two miles east of Ada on Route 81 and one-half mile north (directions listed in the advertisement).
Winter and summer struggled to make a point over the weekend as local temperatures rose to 64 and dipped to 29 degrees.
