What is a bulldog? Well, the Icon looked it up.

We liked the dictionary definition so well that we placed it in the 2018-19 Ada Athletic Booster sports program. You'll see the sports program at athletic events this fall.

Here's the definition of a bulldog - read the ad - and an advance copy of the ad you'll see this year.

Remember, the Icon covers all Bulldog sports. You may follow the Icon on Facebook for immediate sports scores.

And, just for fun, we've provided our previous  two sports ads below.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the time value of money.  This is a concept that financial advisers and parents(!) try to impress upon young adults, making them aware that money invested early is worth more than money invested later in life. Investopedia.com says: “The time value of money draws from the idea that rational investors prefer to receive money today rather than the same amount of money in the future because of money's potential to grow in value over a given period of time.”

St. Rita’s Medical Center is a recipient

St. Rita’s Medical Center has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks.

Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the deadliest type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.
