You'd know it without the flag: Ada's Charles Van Dyne Railroad Park is a tranquil spot amid the hustle and bustle of downtown Ada. The depot was built in 1887 by the Pennsylvania Railroad and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. PHOTO by Stephanie Reiss VanAtta.
ADA – Several Bulldog girls soccer players of the recent past and current vintage squared off on a wet field for the annual alumni vs. varsity game Friday, July 25, in War Memorial Stadium.
It rained hard about an hour before game time, making the synthetic turf slick but also dropping the temperatures to about 79 degrees as the sun disappeared.
Neither team scored in the first 20-minute quarter. Alumni goalkeeper Katie Sizemore made several good diving and sliding saves to keep the game scoreless.

With summer in full swing, it’s important to remember the value of using sunscreen, especially on our children. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. Having five or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. By emphasizing the importance of using sunscreen from a young age, we can actively reduce the chance of our children developing skin cancer later in life.
