ADA -- The Ohio Northern men's soccer team used a strong second half effort to power past Kalamazoo (Mich.) 3-1 on the opening day of the ONU Invitational on Friday afternoon at Kerscher Stadium.
The Polar Bears improve to 2-1-1 overall, while the Hornets fall to 1-2-0.
After the first half proved to be a defensive battle, both teams would find success offensively in the second half.
The Hornets were able to strike first in the contest, as they found the back of the net in the 53rd minute to take a 1-0 lead early in the second half.
The next big event on Ada's calendar is the 32nd annual Ada Area Chamber of Commerce's Harvest and Herb Festival in downtown Ada, according to David Dellifield, chamber president.
This year’s festival is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 16. As in past year’s, it will fill Ada’s Main Street from Highland to College. Main Street will be closed at State Route 235 all the way to State Route 81.
The festival has 180 spaces available for vendors and crafters are encouraged to register as soon as possible to insure a booth.

Wow! Another school year is here. What an exciting time in our community. Some students are just beginning their school journey, and this is a big step in their lives! We enjoy the opportunity to teach the kids of our community and be a part of these important moments.
This year we have no new staff members to announce; however, we do have a few changes in what grades teachers are teaching. Mrs. Kosier (Harmon) has moved from 2nd grade to Kindergarten, and Mrs. Butterfield has moved from 3rd grade to 4th grade.
