Yttrium and ruthenium are two words this writer has never used...until now. Both words are elements in the periodic table.
Memorizing the table used to be a boring chore for science students, but longtime science Ada teacher Dave Lusk found a way to make learning about the elements both educational and interesting.
In this picture, he discusses the element yttrium with Olivia Alexander and the element ruthenium with Seth Conley, both sophomores.
15-minute interview with Tristan Waugh, Cole East, Sidney Faine, Luis Olvera and Jorge Reyes during third period study hall.
You are all seniors, what are your plans after high school? Tristan: Probably will attend ONU or University of Toledo. I’m interested in mechanical engineering. Cole: ONU, where I want to play soccer and major in physical therapy. Sidney: I want to attend Defiance and play basketball. Luis: I’m undecided, but want to go into business. Jorge: I’m going to take a break from school and maybe attend later.
After eight years as director of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, Fred Steiner, owner of the Ada Icon, is stepping down and that position is now open, according to Phil Zimmerly, Bluffton chamber board president.
Steiner said that while he enjoys his involvement with the chamber, the Ada and Bluffton Icons, two online websites he owns, continued to grow and take more of his time.
The Bluffton chamber launched several new programs in the past eight years. It spearheaded a new Christmas downtown garland project now used by 45 businesses.
Alexandra Boyadzhiev, Ada High School senior, like to drink tea.
So, in art class, she decided to create her on tea strainers. She says that she got the idea from tea strainers she saw in the Ten Thousand Villages shop in Bluffton. Here's a view of three of the strainer as a work in progress.
The photo below show Alexandra working on one of the strainers.
