Everyone wants to be the next participant. Dr. Molecule entertained youngsters on Monday during the Ada Public Library's summer reading program. Dr. Molecule is both scientist and magician.
Ada High School swim team was three years old in 1990. That fall was the first year that enough team members participated to actually call it a team.
With Coach Rock Snow having six girls on the roster in 1990, he said, “This is really our first year as a team, even though we were recognized the last two years."
Leading the way were senior letterwinner and captain Tanya Nelson, the only member of Ada’s first team two years ago where she finished 23rd at state. Amber Thede and Hannah Robey-Zachariah joined the team the previous year.
The Ada Icon invites viewers to enter their names for a $50 gift certificate from Three Brothers Pizza in Ada.
During July the Icon is the business featured in the Liberty National Bank lobby. There's free notepads and pencils and several photos showing residents featured this spring on the Icon.
All you need to do to enter for the gift certificate is to place your name and email on the entry form and place it in the box on the display table. The winner will be drawn on Aug. 1.
