VAN WERT - Ada sophomore Abbie James finished 12th in the Northwest Conference cross country championship meet at the Van Wert Reservoir Saturday morning.

James covered the 3.1-mile course in 21:46 to post the top Ada girls finish among the 57-runner field.

The Lady Bulldog squad finished fifth at the meet while Columbus Grove won the girls team crown handily over second-place Lincolnview.

Sophomore Reece Evans posted the best Bulldog boys finish, coming in 21st out of 69 runners in a time of 19:13.

It's safer to walk or ride a bicycle along the sidewalks in Ada after members of the tree commission and ONU students trimmed some of the low branches on the trees on Saturday morning.

Commission members plan a tree trimming session each fall.

These three commission members, volunteering their time, handling some serious equipment, plan to head out on the job. From left are Jim Neiswander, Angela Polachek, and Jamie Hall.

 We are asking that you support the upcoming school income tax levy renewal for the Ada Schools. 

The tax rate would remain the same as it has since 1992.  This is only a renewal and not a new tax.  The current revenue from these funds compose nearly 10 percent of the school’s general revenue budget.  This is a significant amount and is necessary to maintain the quality education our students receive.
