Drive past the tennis courts at War Memorial Park.
You may not believe what you see.
Thanks to a community effort by a tennis courts resurfacing fundraiser that started last fall the courts look – well, very inviting.
But, it still needs some little tender-loving donations to be completed.
The renovation project cost $66,075 and funding from all sources has reached $63,390, which means the committee seeks its final $2,685 to complete the improvement project.
The costs included $55,125 for an asphalt overlay and acrylic resurfacer, plus $10,950 to remove and replace fence fabric with tension wire.
Why does this can move forward and backward? It's all about elastic potential energy. It was one of five science stations on Tuesday for several Kindergarten through third graders in a evening created by David Lusk, Ada teacher. Click here for the story and more photos.

February 1950 - Classroom Idea of ONU Student Places Detachable Collars on Store Shelves - Don Koch, ONU student, came up with the idea of a detachable shirt collar when he became too warm during class. He cut a collar from a sport shirt and fitted it with ordinary snaps to a V-neck sweater. A Canandaigua, New York, knitting firm signed a contract on Dec. 6, 1949, and started producing the collars. A patent was applied for in the inventor’s name. The Greenawalt store in Ada was the first store in the United States to offer Mr. Koch’s detachable collar for sale.
