Over 4,000 patrons took a dip in the Ada Municipal Pool in the first 15 days of July, according to a pool update presented to Ada council on July 16.
Of those swimmers 808 had season passes, 2,886 paid daily admission fees, 303 attended a midnight swim and 22 participated in lap swims.
Revenue-wise, the pool generated $11,906 in admissions and $6,875 in concessions for total revenue reaching $18,781.
In another pool-related issue, council approved a toddler swim. This will take place in the shallow end of the pool prior to the pool being opened to the general public. The cost is $1 per person.
Ben Herr, retired ONU electrical engineering professor, explains a project during a soldering seminar at Camp GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math and Science) last week. Nearly 60 junior high girls participated. The camp, in its 24th year, involved hands-on learning demonstrations and experiments. It enables girls to explore an array of worlds from technology, math, chemistry and computers to different areas of engineering. Instructors include ONU faculty members. Laurie Laird is the camp director.

Summer brings plenty of fun activities to enjoy outside, but without the proper precautions and first-aid knowledge, the heat can mean serious trouble.
When exposed to excessive heat, people are likely to experience hyperthermia, which means the body is overheated. This can cause heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, heat syncope and heat rash. Although immediate medical attention is not needed in many cases, some conditions can quickly become serious and even lead to death without proper first aid.
