Ada Boy Scout Troop 124 was organized a century ago in early November of 1917. Carl Wilkerson took a photo of the current troop last week, marking the anniversary. Tom Lehman, who led the Troop for 17 years, has done some research on the Troop history and learned that Harry Erickson was the first Scoutmaster and the group first met at the Ada Presbyterian Church. The Scouts now meet at St. Mark's Lutheran Church. Jeff Kurtz is the current Scoutmaster. Don Spar has been the Cubmaster for the past 10 years.

This is Marshall. He is a 2 year old male lab mix. He weighs 43 pounds. Are you able to give Marshall his forever home?
To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.

A bigger than usual crowd - 338 to be exact - dined at the Ada Kiwanis Club annual spaghetti dinner on Thursday evening at the school cafeteria. About 70 more people than last year supported the service club fundraising effort. The club does much for youth in the community.
