By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Many songs have been written about cruising, but they do not always refer to being on a boat.  Smokey Robinson wrote, produced, and recorded his song Cruisin’ for Motown records in 1979. His opening line is a classic when he writes, “Baby, let’s cruise, away from here.”  Cruisin’ was on Smokey’s Where There’s Smoke album and hit #1 on the Billboard charts in 1980.  One can get lost in Smokey’s smooth soul sound.  

AHS football visits Grove on October 7

By Cort Reynolds

Coming off of a 33-28 home win over Spencerville, the Ada High School football team goes on the road to face rugged Columbus Grove this coming Friday.

CG is 5-2 and 3-1 in the NWC after a 31-6 win at Crestview last Friday. Grove is ranked fourth in Div. VI, Region 22.

Ada (2-5, 1-3 NWC) is 0-2 on the road, while Grove is 4-0 at home. Their win over the Bearcats snapped a three-game losing skid. 

CG has won two in a row after a 7-0 loss at Allen East, and has captured four of its last five contests.
