Ada seventh and eighth grade girls who are interested in playing softball this spring are asked to sign up on Friday at the high school office, if they haven’t done so already.
Today, Bi the polar bear explores Ada. This is the second installment of a four-part series describing Bi, the visiting polar bear from the Arctic, and his travels in Ada to find his friend, Klondike, the ONU mascot.
Yesterday featured photos of Klondike, a little history about him, and how he is helpful in Ada/ONU, but can be down right scary at sports events.

Did you hear that noise? Did you feel the earth shake a little beneath your feet?
By golly, it’s a polar bear! Of course, there would be a polar bear in Ada this year with the extremely low temperatures the past couple of months.
What’s he doing here? Seems like our furry friend headed south from the Arctic tundra to find his buddy Klondike. He heard Klondike was in Ada, having the distinction of being the ONU mascot since 1923; didn’t get his name Klondike until 2006, however.
