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.

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.
