Ada's latest news

A look back and some spooky movies

Now that we’ve entered October, it feels appropriate to entertain some spookier fare. This month my goal is to share about some horror classics and why they’re worthy of revisiting in 2020. First up, is 1996’s Scream.

Scream opens with the best sequence in the film that runs close to 15 minutes as Casey Becker (DREW BARRYMORE) is terrorized by the film’s killer.

Home alone, Casey decides to pop some popcorn and put on a scary movie while she waits for her boyfriend, Steve, to come over. While she’s getting ready, she receives a phone call from a mystery person who may have dialed the wrong number.

Ada schools are closed today (Monday, Oct. 5), according to an announcement made on Ohio Alerts at 8:37 a.m. Earlier in the morning the school had announced a 2-hour delay.

Ada Icon intern Mana Hashimoto took this early morning photo of the Ohio Northern University skyline last week. The photo was taken at 6:43 a.m.

For many people who get COVID-19, symptoms end within a couple of weeks. But for others, post-COVID-19 symptoms may stick around for weeks or months.

As the coronavirus pandemic has grown, researchers and health officials have gained new insight into the virus and how it affects people. One thing that has become clear to experts as time has passed is that COVID-19 recovery looks different for different people.
