Here are the winners of the Geography Bee at Ada Schools on Tuesday (from left) Isaac Williams, first, 8th grade; Jacob Sutherly, second, 7th grade; Josh Thaxton, third, 4th grade.
Now, the winners take a written test to see if they qualify for state competition. Materials are prepared by the National Geographic Society. The local competition is sponsored by Ada Academic Boosters.
Mrs. Suzanne Hardesty has coordinated the event for the past 12 years. She and Mike Styer are judges. All students in grades 4-8 took a test in their classrooms to qualify to represent their grade.
The Ohio Northern women's basketball team continues to be ranked 10th in the nation during this week’s poll. After falling in their season-opener, the Polar Bears (16-1 overall, 10-0 OAC) have won 16 straight.

So you’ve decided to start eating healthy this year, but have no idea where to start.
Honestly speaking, you may even be a little discouraged at the thought. Fruits and vegetables….ugh! Rest assured healthy eating does not have to be overwhelming or boring.
The first thing to remember is to start small. “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Lasting lifestyle changes are most effective when done in small steps. For example, try incorporating or replacing one snack each day with a fruit or vegetable.
