Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, May 2, 2017

Summer is right around the corner and who isn’t ready for the sun and heat?

Be prepared for those hot days. You can beat the Saturday, May 27, opening day rush and buy your season pass for the Ada pool now.

Passes for 2017 are $45 per person through June 11. After June 11, passes cost $55 per person.

There is a season-long discount of $10 per person for any resident/taxpayer who works or lives within the Ada village limits and is required to file and pay village income tax (subject to verification).

The discount is the village way of saying thanks to taxpayers, because .15% of the village’s income tax is designated to support the pool.

Fly me to the Moon...or maybe Venus.

Engineering students showed off their work at a senior design showcase last Tuesday in Mcintosh Center. One such project: design of a solar-powered glider for Venus.

Students worked in teams throughout the year on projects ranging from wastewater pump stations, to gloves for cyclists, dairy farm efficiency, a robot that finds objects, and many more.

Alumni from industry came back to campus to judge the various projects on the engineering involved and how well the students could explain their innovations.
