Ada's latest news

First induction ceremony on Honors Day in Spring 2021

Ohio Northern University has been accepted into the National College Athlete Honor Society as the Ohio Omega Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ), which recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.

Chi Alpha Sigma, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 1996 by then DePauw University head football coach Nick Mourouzis.

His goal was to provide outstanding student-athletes with an opportunity to become connected within a fraternal association that aligns their educational and athletic successes for a lifetime.

I was hoping someone would publicly address the dropoff situation going on at the Ada school. It was a good idea, but wasn't researched enough. The school didn't take into consideration, that there were three lanes of vehicles dropping off students, in the front of the school.

Now, all lanes have been condensed into one long lane, with a minimum of an eight-minute wait to get students to their classes. The school just announced to students that tardiness, due to the dropoff restrictions will no longer be excused.

Health data released yesterday led the Ohio Department of Health to designated Hardin County as being in a Red Alert Level 3 as defined by the Ohio Public Health Advisory System. 

New health data found that 38 counties currently have a very high risk of exposure and spread (Red Level 3), up from 29 counties last week. 

This represents the highest number of Red Level 3 counties since the launch of the advisory system in July.

NEW BREMEN - The Ada volleyball team defeated Lima Temple Christian over four sets Thursday evening in Div. IV sectional final action at New Bremen.

Ada rallied to win 20-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-15 and advance to the district semifinals. The Lady Bulldogs improved to 10-11 with the victory.  

LTC fell to 14-10 with their season-ending defeat.

"It was a great win," said third-year Ada head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "Both sides fought hard the entire match, and there were lots of long rallies."
    
Hustling senior Miranda Wills led the Bulldogs with 15 kills, 16 digs and four blocks. 

This novel is a get-away, and leaves you with a renewed sense of wonder

Review by Robert McCool
Stephen King's latest “The Outsider” ( Simon and Shuster, ISBN 978-1-9821-4824-9) doesn't disappoint.

Everything that can be said about Stephen King has already been said. One of the world's most popular authors can be depended upon to deliver a good old supernatural yarn. Still, he remains a matter of taste to many. He either gives you a case of the shivers, as in this latest novel, or disgusts with too much realism when it comes to violence. So, I don't like everything he's written, but I do like this book.
