The Ada Dog Park has met its fundraising goal and hopes are that the park will be open by late May or early June.

The fence at the pool will be taken down and used for the dog park, so the opening of the park is dependent on the pool work. Many fence workers were on hand at the pool on Monday dismantling the old fence and installing the new.

Progress on the dog park was made before winter set in. The water lines are in, the shelter pad is down, the shelter frame is up, and the entrance area excavated. All of the equipment for the dog park is purchased and stored here.

The National Day of Prayer will be observed in Ada ai 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 3,  in English Chapel. Members of the campus and community are invited.

ADA - The host Ada softball team lost to Paulding 13-2 in a battle for first place in the Northwest Conference Monday evening.

 

The Lady Bulldogs dropped to 9-5 overall and 3-2 in the NWC with the loss between two of the three league leaders. The Panthers improved to 7-4 overall and 4-1 in NWC play after the big win.

 

"We just made too many errors," said Ada head coach Troy Erickson, whose team allowed seven unearned runs. "We have to play error-free ball. We have a freshman who pitches to contact, and (thus) we have to make the plays behind her.
