ADA – The Ada High School baseball team lost 16-2 to visiting Blanchard Valley Conference foe Leipsic on Monday evening, April 21.

The Vikings broke open a 1-0 game with a monster 14-run third inning that paved their way to victory. 

The Bulldogs plated two runs in the bottom of the fifth to avoid the shutout, but not the 10-run mercy rule.

The Bulldogs dropped to 3-8 overall and 2-3 in the BVC with the defeat, while Leipsic improved to 8-4 and 5-1 in BVC play after the win.

Leipsic smacked five doubles among their eight hits, and the Vikings drew nine walks. Ada slapped six hits and coaxed two walks.

The “Made in Ada” water tower emblazoned with the Wilson Sporting Goods logo makes most folks think of NFL football. But from the nearby environs of the Village of Ada water treatment plant, it also serves as a reminder that our tap water is a “Made in Ada” product, too. 

On April 16 I joined a group of Ada Community Improvement Corporation members for a tour of the plant led by operator in training Alex Fields. The event was a sort of exam review for Fields, who passed his state certification test last year and will be granted his certificate when he has a full year of plant experience in May.

Have any idea what goes into making water from Ada’s wells safe to drink? I didn’t. Turning on a faucet and making payments are the extent of my personal water experience.

This spring, OhioHealth is implementing new forensic technology across more than two dozen emergency departments as a means of supporting survivors of sexual assault and other forms of interpersonal violence.

OhioHealth is deploying Cortexflo camera systems from Fernico—a high-resolution imaging technology built specifically for forensic use. They are referred to as SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) cameras. OhioHealth has purchased devices for 26 care sites. In addition, three care sites will be upgraded to new equipment in exchange for old cameras.
