March comes in with nearly 2 inches of rain...

wind gusts to near 40 mph, then snow

“If March comes in like a lion, it will go out as a lamb,” says weather folklore. Thursday, March 1, in Ada saw nearly two inches of rain, wind gusts to near 40 mph, then snow, which all qualify as roaring-lion weather. We can look forward to weather like a docile lamb by month’s end. No lyin.

If you don’t believe that March weather forecast, pick one of these:
• A dry March and a wet May? Fill barns and bays with corn and hay.
• As it rains in March, so it rains in June.
• March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers.
• So many mists in March you see, so many frosts in May will be.

Ada and Bluffton's "boom era" tied to oil and natural gas

Presentation by Fred Steiner at Ada Historical Society

Oil and trains accounted for rapid growth in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Ada and Bluffton, according to Fred Steiner, who spoke at the Ada Historical Society meeting on Monday night at the Ada Public Library.

He said oil discovered in Findlay brought people to the area in droves, explaining that the red brick houses you see on SR 103 from Bluffton to Arlington are the result of wealth from oil wells.

Hint: It involves a cat and a hat
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, February 26, 2018

By Monty Siekerman
It’s Dr. Seuss Week at Ada Elementary. Here, kindergarten children Lily Muniz and Drew Griffin don Cat in the Hat hats at the school library on Monday.

Dr. Seuss, America’s Poet Laureate of Nonsense, was born March 2, 1904, so Ada Elementary annually has a week-long celebration this time of year in honor of his birthday.

Monday was Hat Day, Tuesday is Character Day, the next day is Wacky Wednesday, Thursday is Fox in Crazy Socks Day, and, finally, Friday celebrates Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
