Cleveland TV station WKYC recently interviewed Ohio Northern University alum Katie Oriti, who is working with a team, which launched a NASA satellite in December. The satellite is about the size of a loaf of bread. Oriti is the team leader.
Here are portions of that story by Jeff Reidel:
In December, NASA Glenn Research Center sent into space a satellite about the size of a loaf of bread, call ALBus. And if this mission is successful, it could power a next generation of small exploration.
Ada fourth graders for several years have taken the Books with Benz reading incentive. “Benz” is really Rich Bensman, ONU men’s basketball coach.
Each fall Coach Bensman and several players on the ONU men’s team visit Ada fourth graders. The visit emphasizes the importance of reading.
Books with Benz reading incentive inspires fourth graders to read. In a men’s game, earlier this week, students who met or exceeded the reading challenge were recognized at halftime after getting into the game free. And, of course, special reading shirts come with the incentive – and the fourth graders are wearing them in the photo.
Ada High School graduate Benjamin Bowers was recently named to the Denison University dean's list for the fall of 2018. To be named to the list students must have earned a semester grade point average of at least 3.7 for 12 hours or more.
Funny thing. Ada's snowfall this season was nowhere until an exhibit of snowmen, snowwomen and snowpeople appeared at the Ada Public Library.
The exhibit by Ada first grade artists must have shaken loose the sky above Ada. This weekend, well, you know...it snowed and snowed and snowed.
The first grade artist exhibit displays much imagination. Viewers will notice at least one snowwoman with eyelashes.
Other observations from this art critic: The artists carry much tradition. For example, what are those black small circles in the pictures? They certainly aren't pieces of coal. Ada's coal yard is decades gone. Yet, there they are.
