Ada scouts ride the rapids

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, August 8, 2017

Ada Boy Scouts Kamron Wilkerson and Dexter Woods III recently returned from the 12-day national jamboree near Beckley, W Va. Dexter and Kamron (second and third on the port side of the raft) are shown whitewater rafting on the New River. 

If you are near the New River, you go whitewater rafting because it's one of the best rapids around. 

And, if you are near a national jamboree (held only every four years) you go. President Trump was among the speakers. More than 34,000 Scouts from 50 nations attended the jamboree.

A artistic squid with an Ada connection
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 8, 2017

Although cows, goats, and chickens take center stage at the Ohio State Fair’s livestock competitions, a creature from the depths of the ocean has stolen the show at this year’s Fine Arts Exhibition.

Ohio Northern Professor of Art Emerita Judith Greavu received the 2017 Peoples’ Choice Award for her recycled copper and fused glass sculpture, titled Squid: A Celebration. The award is an annual prize sponsored by the Ohio Arts Council that is given to the piece that receives the most votes from the public.

As its name suggests, Squid: A Celebration was inspired by the complex forms, movement, and biological capabilities of many squid species, Greavu said.

"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.

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.
