Deep patriotism expressed amid national direction concerns
MEDIA RELEASE__A statewide study released on October 21 by the Ohio Northern University Institute for Civics and Public Policy (ICAPP), in partnership with SurveyUSA, indicates widespread public opposition to data center construction and public tax subsidies supporting data centers across Ohio.
The survey of 1,650 Ohio adults, which has a +/- 2.9% margin of error, was conducted between October 8, 2026 and October 14, 2026. The poll also highlights strong national pride coupled with significant frustration over the country’s current path.
ADA__Eight players from the second-place Ada High School girls soccer team received All-North Central Ohio Soccer Association honors in voting recently conducted by the league coaches.
Fourth-year Bulldog head coach Doug Dewese was named NCOSA Coach of the Year after leading Ada to a program season-record 13 wins and second place in the rugged NCOSA at 2-1-2.
Ada junior scoring ace Rose Baxter and senior defender Reese Jordan made first-team All-NCOSA. Baxter has poured in 18 goals this season and has passed out six assists for 42 points.

“Strawberry Fields Forever” is an original ballad written by John Lennon for the Beatles. It was released on February 13, 1967. The song was considered a departure from the classic Beatles’ songs and many felt it ushered in the psychedelic genre. After Lennon’s death, 2.5 acres of Central Park in New York City was dedicated to his memory and is known as Strawberry Fields.
