The Ada girls soccer team placed seven players on the All-North Central Ohio Soccer Association teams in voting recently conducted by the league coaches.

Second-year head coach Doug Dewese was voted North Central Ohio Soccer Association Coach of the Year.

He led Ada to a program record-tying seven wins and a 7-5-3 overall regular season record. The Bulldog girls were 2-2-1 in the rugged NCOSA to finish third out of six teams, believed to be the best league finish in team history.

Ada senior Ella Marshall repeated again as first team All-North Central Ohio Soccer Association for the fourth straight season.

She broke her own Ada program single-season record with 19 goals, and she also set the mark for career goals with 50.

Healthwise: There is a Season

Posted by Staff on Thursday, October 12, 2023

In 1959, Peter Seeger wrote To Everything There is a Season, which was released by the folk group the Limeliters. Seeger then released the song himself a few months later. Neither version had much success until Roger McGuinn (aka Jim McGuinn) of the Limeliters formed the Byrds. 

The Byrds released their version on October 23, 1965 and it hit number one in December. The title changed to Turn! Turn! Turn! for the release. The song holds the record for the oldest written lyrics because the verses are from Ecclesiastes in the Bible. 

The Byrds formed in 1964 in Los Angeles with five members. Some music critics consider the band one of the most influential of its time. Several of the original members left to form other groups or have solo careers. One of the more famous members of the original group was David Crosby, who we lost in 2023. The last time the original group played together was in 1991 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

As the leaves are changing, so do our seasons including issues related to politics and health.

Letter: Retired Ada teacher on Permanent Improvement Levy

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, October 11, 2023

As a teacher in the Ada Schools for forty-three years and a lifelong Bulldog, I am asking you to vote FOR the upcoming permanent improvement RENEWAL on the November ballot. This issue is a RENEWAL only and will NOT increase anyone’s tax burden. A vote FOR this issue is a vote FOR our children.  

The money this levy generates allows the Ada Schools to purchase those items of a permanent nature that are not part of the day-to-day expenses of the school.  It is not used for salaries, benefits or any items of that nature.  This levy passed and has been renewed each time it has appeared on the ballot since 1995. The Ada Schools appreciate your support on this issue. 

Sincerely, 

Dave Lusk
Ada Schools, retired

By Cort Reynolds

One purple and gold team was guaranteed to win when similarly-colored Northwest Conference foes Ada and Leipsic met in the final league volleyball match of 2023 Tuesday night, October 10.

Unfortunately for the host Bulldogs they lost in three sets to the Vikings in their regular season and home finale 25-9, 25-18, 25-16.

The Bulldogs dropped to 12-10 overall, and finished 2-6 in the NWC with the defeat. Ada ended up seventh in the nine-team league.

Leipsic finished second in the NWC at 7-1 with the victory that improved their overall record to 14-2. The hard-hitting Vikings also shared the Putnam County League crown with Miller City at 5-1.

“Leipsic had great hitters,” said Bulldog head coach Kyleigh Woodruff. “They were solid defensively; there were just not many openings for us to hit into.

“Leipsic put the ball away on their hits,” she added.
