Ada schools will continue to go "remote" according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent. She updated the school community on several aspects involving covid-19 in a letter posted Friday afternoon on the school website. That letter follows:
We just completed our second week of remote learning, and we appreciate our students and staff who have adjusted once again.
Please know our goal is to get students back in the classroom as soon as possible. At the time we made the decision to go remote, we had so many teachers with cases, or quarantined due to exposure, that we didn’t have enough substitute teachers to cover all the classes.
That’s the message to Ada residents from Scott Malaney, president and CEO of Blanchard Valley Health Systems, and Dr. William Kose, vice president of special projects at BVHS.
The Icon talked with the two health professionals in a Zoom interview on Friday afternoon.
Sounding like a broken record, but an important one, both encourage people to continue three basic rules:
• Wear a mask in public
• Keep a six-foot distance from others when in public
• Washing your hands regularly

“The world's best selling author” no longer writes his own books, of which he produces a plethora each year. He “coauthors” with carefully chosen writers, leading to different flavors for each book. In this example, “Murder Thy Neighbor- True Crime Thrillers” (ISBN 978-1-5387-5241-8) he gives us two different stories of damaged people by two different authors in the same volume.
