Fire fighter in training

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 20, 2017

Fire fighter for a day...or at least a few minutes...Some of the equipment and personnel of the Ada-Liberty Township Fire Department rolled into Ada War Memorial Park on Tuesday to let youngsters learn about the department and even try on some clothing. Here, Tessa Long, 13, is set for any emergency...if only the clothes would fit. But in time, who knows, she may end up volunteering to help the local fire department fight blazes that it's called to.

Seeing double in Ada

An extra feature to Sunday night's Cadet's performance

A SECOND PHOTO IS BELOW -

The second rainbow can be seen slightly to the right of the main rainbow.

Throughout history there have been many wives tales--some good, some bad--about rainbows.

The Cadets, I'm sure, are hoping the omen in the sky means "good luck" in winning the Drum Corps International competition this year. The group worked diligently at ONU for the past two and a half weeks to take home the top trophy.
