ADA - The Ada volleyball team had to rally late in the third set but prevailed to sweep visiting county rival Hardin Northern Saturday afternoon.
The 25-15, 25-10, 26-24 non-league victory upped the Lady Bulldog record to 5-2. It was their third straight sweep in three home matches over five days. Ada is now 4-0 on home soil this season.
The struggling Lady Polar Bears fell to 0-5 with the defeat.
One thing is for certain about photos taken in 2020. You will always know the year of the photo. Somewhere it will include a mask or a statement about social distancing. Here's a perfect 2020 photo example of a sign on the Ohio Northern University campus.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STORY -
Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Ada community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon features the art located on The Remington Walk on the Ohio Northern University campus. For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
Either way, it’s an opportunity to take a walk and view some art that is uniquely Ada. The Walk is spread through campus and may be viewed by following the ONU walking path, beginning near Affinity Village, west of The Freed Center.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a saliva test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infection.
This approval was granted to the Yale School of Public Health for its SalivaDirect COVID-19 diagnostic test.
The SalivaDirect test is a new method for processing saliva samples. Because the test is saliva-based and does not need reagents (critical test components for other tests that have been prone to shortages in the past), this new approval may allow for increased COVID-19 testing, according to the FDA.

September is Sexual Health Awareness Month.
Did you know that one in two sexually active persons will contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI) by age 25? However, this is not the only age group affected by STIs. STIs affect people of all ages and backgrounds.
There are nearly 20 million new cases each year in the U.S. alone. Protecting yourself from STIs and getting screened for STIs is important. The only way to know if you have an STI is to be tested!
