However, to appreciate these stats, the maximum average temperature for May reached only 71.1 degrees, and – here you go – the average minimum temperature for the month was 51.8 degrees.
Theses weather stats are from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

COLUMBUS - Ada junior Nora Dellifield finished 12th in the pole vault at the Div. III state track and field meet in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium Friday at Columbus.
Dellifield cleared 9-6 and 10-0 in the first two rounds Friday. But she came up just short in three attempts to surpass 10-6.
Freshman Kenna Stimmel of Margaretta won the girls pole vault title with a best effort of 13-0.25.
Dellifield is the first Ada girl to ever make it to the state meet in the pole vault. She finished ahead of six competitors in the 18-girl field.
Just because it's summer, things don't slow down in Ada.
The Icon's Hometown Happenings for June and July easily proves that. The calendar of community events includes four pages of Ada happening in the next 60 days.
June started with the Ada High School alumni banquet and the Ada Public Library summer reading kick off on June 1. Our two-month calendar includes activities scheduled at:
• Ada Public Library
• Community-wide events
• Ada schools (yes, more activities that you might realize)
• Ohio Northern University
• The Inn at ONU
• Village meetings

School is out and summer vacation has started. Instead of letting your children plop down in front of the television for the next three months, keep them engaged and active this summer.
Did you know summer vacation can result in learning loss? It's estimated that, on average, children can lose about two months of math and reading skills during summer vacation. But keeping your children engaged could help combat that learning loss.

Preventative measures should be taken before an athlete throws to decrease the chances of arm soreness or damage. It is important to keep the arm and shoulder strong by building muscles through strengthening, stretching and exercising. Keeping the muscles mobile and strong will help prevent injury and soreness from occurring, which in turn can improve performance.

The year 1987 may go down in the Ada history books as the year of progress or it may go down as a year of destruction depending on how the future generations define our actions. Some decisions we had no control over. For example, the old Tobias house which stood next to Gardner Drugs on Main awaits destruction back of the post office because of a fire. Professor Axline’s house across from the ONU campus had to be destroyed perhaps so that progress which the automobile gives us could be accommodated.
