It was a whiteout at King-Horn Saturday when the men’s basketball team played Capital and those attending opened their wallets and purses to give to cystic fibrosis research.

The appeal for funds hoped to raise about $2,000, bringing the total to near $50,000 since the CF fundraisers began at Northern. The whiteout included white shirts and towels for spectators.

The team was dressed in white except for a touch of orange. Even the polar bear was appropriately dressed in white, but Klondike always is.

Don’t let the flu get you, and, if you are sick, stay home and get well. That’s the message Marlene Vermillion posted on Facebook earlier this week. She is the Ada school nurse.

Ada has 880 students enrolled. On Tuesday, there were 24 students out in the elementary and 18 in the high school. During the worst of the flu season last year, there were as many as 80 students absent on any given day in the high school alone.
