Letter: Dig for a Cure raises $2,370

A letter from coach Kyleigh Woodruff and the Ada High School volleyball team:

Ada’s volleyball team held our annual Dig for a Cure event on Monday, October 2nd to battle against cancer and raise money for The Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) Network Foundation. This year Ada and Upper Scioto Valley schools worked together to raise a grand total of $2,370.12.  A breakdown of our total amount raised includes: $951 on raffle baskets, $631.50 at our bake sale, $89 on our serving game, $414.62 donations during “Storm the Fans”, and $284 on t-shirt sales.  This grand total would not have been possible without the generous donations that we received from not only both teams and staff but also our community.  

Letters: Vaccination reminder

Letter from William Kose, MD, JD, Vice President of Special Projects, Blanchard Valley Health System

As the days get shorter and cooler, community members should be aware that multiple infectious diseases will be more prevalent, including COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). If you are someone who always gets vaccinated, here’s a reminder that this is the time of year to do so. And, if you aren’t, now could be a great time to start.

Letter: Permanent improvement renewal levy is essential to our schools

The following is a letter to the editor by Ada resident Ben Thaxton.

Dear Ada Community,

I am writing to urge our community to vote in favor of the 5-year Permanent Improvement RENEWAL levy on the November 7, 2023, ballot. This levy RENEWAL is essential for maintaining and improving our public school, which is the foundation of our community.

The permanent improvement levy is a RENEWAL of an existing levy that has been in place for many years. It is NOT a new tax. The levy provides funding for important capital expenses, such as building repairs and renovations, new technology, and safety equipment. A permanent improvement fund helps Ada Schools avoid using general fund revenue for capital expenses, which frees up general fund revenue for educational services for children.

Letter: Ada Lions Club thanks community for mulch sale support

The Ada Lions Club would like to thank the community for making its 2023 mulch sale a success!

The annual mulch sale funds the Lions Club Scholarhip; the scholarship recipients are Ada High School seniors.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of the community.

The Lions Club would also like to thank Bass Trucking for allowing us to use their property and equipment for the mulch sale.
