The Ada football team takes the field on Friday...wearing pink socks. The Bulldogs beat Paulding. Maybe they should wear pink sock at every game. The Bulldogs got into the spirit to raise awareness and collect money for breast cancer. The cancer effort was sponsored by the cheerleaders who held a clinic that evening for 68 future cheerleaders from preschool to fifth grade.

The Ada High School Marching Band and Color Guard earned a superior rating and first place in class C Saturday at the Buckeye Invitational at Ohio Stadium.
This was the third competition of the season and the third time the Bulldogs earned first place.
In addition the group earned honors for best color guard, best general effect, best marching, and best visual effect in class C.
The competition was sponsored by the Ohio Music Education Association and hosted by the OSU marching band.
This class meets outdoors on a pleasant day...at an especially appropriate spot. The sculpture (at left) symbolizes religion and learning, thus was placed between English Chapel and Heterick Library. The class, taught by Hongyu Wu (at left), is titled Food, Religion, and Identity. (Monty Siekerman)

Kevin Mierzejewski, flying in a light sport aircraft, captured photos of some of the giant wind turbines now being placed just east of Ada.
• The turbines are gigantic compared to the three at ONU and the one at Ada Schools. The tower of these is 300 feet high, the blade is 150 feet long, thus when a blade is pointing up, the turbine reaches 450 feet from the ground.
• The placement has been described as north of Dola and Dunkirk, but in reality the "turbine farm" begins just three miles west of town near SR81 and CR 75 (near Sugar Grove UM Church). They are visible from Ada, if trees do not obstruct one's view.
