Ada's latest news

Everhart, the hometown kid with a golden foot, chooses ONU

By Grant Pepper
Bob Olwin laughed.

Those who know Olwin know that this is rare, especially in a football context. But the former Ada head coach, who just announced his retirement last week, was asked a question.

“Did Aaron Everhart ever get tired?”

Chuckles came in thick and heavy through the phone, and the response was delayed: “Sometimes.”

Mercy Health announces that the IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals annual awards program has named St. Rita’s Medical Center as among the highest performing hospitals in the nation.

In addition to being listed among the top large community hospitals, St. Rita’s was also named as an Everest Award winner, which is an honor given to hospitals that have achieved both the highest current performance and the fastest long-term improvement over five years.

Hey, everybody, have you noticed it’s Spring in Ada—time to walk the baby in a stroller, take a ride in a convertible, install screens, plant seeds, play baseball, skateboard, mow, buy bug killer, uncover the pool, let the kids play at the park, wash windows. The Chamber of Commerce should have a stern talk with the weatherman about the three inches of snow that fell on the first day of Spring yesterday. Yes, it’s Spring, time to build a snowman...or in this case, paint one. (Monty Siekerman photo)
