It was 40 years ago to the day...KISS came to Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, May 10, 2015

You can pay up to $150 nowadays to see a KISS concert, but 40 years ago to the day, ONU students got into King-Horn gym to see KISS, The James Gang, and The Flock for a mere $5.

Pictured (seated) are Ryan Oberlin, Abigail Green, and Professor Jimmy Wilson talking informally with some audience members following a showing of a 33-minute documentary Saturday at the Dicke Building.

As a project for an historical geography class, the students interviewed several people who attended the long-ago concert and turned those interviews into a documentary. For Ada it was a wild night.

Ada art headed to D.C.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, May 10, 2015

An ink on paper drawing by Alexandra Boyadzhiev has been chosen to be displayed in the U.S. Capitol Tunnel for a year. She is a junior at Ada High School, daughter of Kristo and Irina Boyadzhiev. She plans to study engineering after graduation. The winning piece was drawn when she was a freshman. The piece is titled "What Dreams May Come." She describes it as whimsical "with a lot going on." Judges especially liked her technical skills and amount of detail in the 24-inch by 26-inch piece. Alexandra's artwork will represent Congressman Bob Latta's district for the year in D.C.

The venerable sycamore tree, located near the Ada Theater, got a new lease on life Friday when the tree commission voted to spend about $2,400 to keep it going.

The tree is a fixture in the heart of downtown Ada, estimated to be 120 years old. It has lace bug problems and needs trimming for the safety of nearby property and passersby along the road and sidewalk.

The tree is in front of 211 S. Main, a house recently bought by Matt Brown. He wrote the commission asking for advice on saving the tree and safety aspects.

The commission accepted the proposal from Tawa Tree Service after Brad Brooks, certified arborist, studied the tree and its problems.
