Nobody counting calories

Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, February 14, 2015

Deb Curlis, Richard Gainey, Jane Helser judge the 20 desserts at the Ada Public Library on Friday.

The Ada Public Library third annual Valentines Chocolate Bake-Off at the Ada Public Library was a grand success with 20 entries and more than 50 tasters enjoying scrumptious desserts.

Young bakers showed their cooking ability. Two fifth graders from the Ada Schools took first and second place: Paige Jochims, first, with chocolate peanut butter dessert, and Sandra Litton, second, with chocolate strawberry pie. Molly Sheets took third place with her frozen mocha cheesecake. Nobody was counting calories.

15 minutes with the guy who cooks the sausage at the Kiwanis pancake day - he's also an Ada dentist

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.

Meet Alice in Hardwareland - it's the Icon's newest feature

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 4, 2015

NOTE: You might say that the Ada Icon has gone to the dogs - it a good way. Welcome to the Ada Icon's newest feature. It focuses on man (and woman's) best friend.

Say "Hello," to Alice in Hardwareland.

Keith and Kathy Wire hold Alice, their 16-year-old dog who has been a fixture of sorts for many years at the Ada business they own, Keith’s Hardware.

Many years ago, Alice was abandoned at the store. The Wires tried to find the owners without success, so they took her in.

Alice has been the store’s mascot for a long time.
