Environmental Politics class and ONU Recycles celebrates the "earth"

Saturday on the Tundra
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, April 26, 2018

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Dogs like Earth Day, at least Penny does because she got a new toy. Zeta Tau Alpha sorority sisters showed passers-by how to repurpose old t-shirts by cutting the shirts into strips then braiding the cloth into a dog toy.

Several organizations had tables set up on the Tundra on Saturday to celebrate Earth Day, encouraging recycling and repurposing material.

There were even free cookies with blue icing indicating oceans and green icing for continents—you could swallow all of the Western Hemisphere in just a few bites.

Earth Day was organized by the Environmental Politics class and ONU Recycles.

Quiz Bowl falls at regionals

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, April 23, 2018

The Ada Academic Quiz Bowl team, Hardin County champs, lost to the much larger Findlay High School at regional competition on Saturday. Although Ada didn’t qualify for the state finals, the team had a stellar year ending with 42 wins and only 6 losses.

Saturday’s quizzing was a 13 team tournament featuring teams who were already league champions or who had won a tournament in their area. 

The tournament was double elimination with the top two teams moving on to state. The schools are not grouped by size so very large schools competed with very small schools.  Ada was one of the smallest schools competing Saturday.
