"I like this one."

They lined up through the hallways, out the door, and into the parking lot on Saturday at USV Schools...and school isn't even in session yet. And, there are no athletic contests this time of year either.

Seems like every child and parent In Alger, McGuffey, and surrounding area was at USV on Saturday for free school supplies.

The Alger First United Methodist Church organized the supply giveaway for every child in the school district, not based on income, for backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks, paper, pencils and pens and much more.

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, August 7, 2017

Meet Rosie. Rosie is 2 year old female chihuahua mix. She weighs 7 pounds. Rosie is waiting for her 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.

Members of the Liberty Belles and Boys 4H Club held numerous signs at the corner of Main and Lincoln on Saturday trying to get motorists to stop and either give food  or purchase bake goods. The donated food and half of the money from the bake sale goes to the Ada Food Pantry. Part of the bake sale money helps with club expenses. Even a Great Pyrenees pup got into the act.

Ada's Village Garden

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, August 5, 2017

What kind of gnarly cucumber is this?  Shahnaj Begum holds a bitter melon, not a cucumber at all, grown from seed from her native Bangladesh. She tends the Village Garden, sponsored by ReStore, and located behind Liberty National Bank. The bitter melon, she explains, is fried with rice, oil, and onion for a spicy dish. She grows the typical American foods such tomatoes and beans, but another Asian food found in her garden is a type of sweet pumpkin not found here. It's not grown for Halloween, for there is no such observance of witchy/goblins in her country.
