FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACE BOOK - In Miss Steiner's elementary art classes students studied artists who are putting positive messages on the streets for the public to see. They were asked to create a poster that promotes a positive message at school. They choose their materials and created their own designs. They are all around our building right now. Here's an example of their positive messages.
Safe Haven of Hardin County Domestic Violence Center will have a bush planting in the Ada Railroad Park at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 16, according to Deb Oestreich, program director.
“The bush will be in memory of those who have lost their lives to domestic violence and in honor of those who have survived,” she said.
Board members of the center will attend the ceremony, which is open to the public. The planting is in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which is the month of October.

Four costly turnovers spelled disaster for Ada as the football Bulldogs traveled to Paulding last Friday night and were defeated by the Panthers, 35-0. Ada’s fourth conference loss in a row drops them to 1-4 in the N.W.C. and 2-6 overall.
Paulding built a 21-0 first half lead behind an opportunistic defense that finished the game with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries in the shutout.

Who will win the Ada McDonald’s “Burger War?” It all up to the Ada community to beat Upper Scioto Valley, and that’s a tall order because USV set a record last week.
USV diners sold and served over $1,000 worth of McDonald’s food during the first of their two-hour stint last Monday. Ada’s turn is from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Both schools receive a percentage of sales, and the winning school gets a bonus. Last year USV took home $1,000 for winning the contest. Ada received a check for $700. Actually, both schools added to their coffers, so both won.
