“Stand up, Ada fans, and join us in cheering on our Bulldogs as the Ada High School Marching Band plays the fight song for our team!”
Do these words stir you to jump up out of your seat and applaud as the team takes the field, the cheerleaders leap into synchronized action, the color guard waves their bulldog flags, and the band fills the stadium with that familiar, heart pounding beat that proclaims another football Friday night in Ada, Ohio?
FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Rick Skilliter, Bluffton police chief, informed The Icon of persons passing counterfeit bills in Bluffton businesses.
• Over the weekend several counterfeit $50 bills were cashed in at businesses along State Route 103. The men using these counterfeit bills were making small purchases requiring large amounts of change.
• On Tuesday evening someone purchased a pet dog via Craig's List.The payment and exchange for the pet were conducted in a parking lot of a SR 103 business.
All are invited to attend Campus and Community Talk: Books that have Shaped our Lives, which will feature one Ada community member: Deb Curlis of Ada Community Health Professsionals, and one ONU community member: Chris Burns-Dibiasio.
The event is will be held Thursday, November 5th,12 p.m., at Heterick Library, ONU, and is FREE and open to all, with light snacks being provided.
This event is sponsored by Heterick Library & Ada Public Library.
ONU Marching Band field commander Ryan Briley attempted to make history by playing “The Longest Note” in front of Heterick Memorial Library on Tuesday. There's still time to join us this week as the Star of Northwest Ohio commemorates 125 years of accomplishment.
The following story is from ONU's Facebook:
For 125 years, the Ohio Northern University Marching Band contributed to the Northern campus and the Ada community.
When students J.B. McArthur and S.H. Myers led the first marching band in 1890, it is doubtful that either considered the legacy they were leaving.
