Be Our Guest was a song from the 1991 Disney film Beauty and the Beast. The song was performed by Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury) and Lemière (Jerry Orbach). During the song’s animation, we see spoons dancing and diving into a punch bowl. In the movie, the Beast struggles to eat with a spoon and Belle puts down her spoon and drinks out of the bowl.
Why talk about spoons? Many medications for infants and children come in liquid dosage forms requiring measuring. Spoons are used to give medications to children.
McGUFFEY__Exactly two months after beating arch-rival Upper Scioto Valley by 13, the Ada girls basketball team went on the road and edged the Rams in a much closer January 30 battle that went down to the very end.
With the game tied in the final seconds, Bulldog senior playmaker Olivia Burkhart drove left and knocked down a clutch short runner from the left baseline with under three ticks remaining to give Ada a 48-46 win at Alumni Fieldhouse.
The Ada Exempted Village School District Board of Education has selected the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) to facilitate its search for a new superintendent. The interim superintendent is Dennis Recker.
Ohio Northern University’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is again offering free income tax preparation for community members who make about $70,000 or less annually.
In turn, this service enables ONU’s Dicke College of Business Administration students to receive practical training with tax preparation software and interpersonal communication, and to become IRS-certified to help prepare basic and intermediate tax returns. Students also gain experience in identifying and helping clients claim special credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Credit for the Elderly, which can significantly influence filing outcomes.
Services include offering general filing guidance, completing tax returns for individuals, and e-filing those returns with the IRS.
