Read a book and get a ticket to the "reading carnival"

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, May 12, 2015

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman

It was a pretty good deal for a school carnival.

Read a book and get a ticket. That's the admission price to last week's Ada Schools' annual reading carnival open to youth from Kindergarten to fifth grade. The Ada Academic Boosters put on the carnival on May 8.

Tickets were spent on sponge throw, soccer kick, guessing jar, corn hole and many other games. The goal: to encourage reading.

• 1 ticket, 1 popcorn. Alicia Burkheimer serves Dexter Woods at carnival.

A scent of Ada history - thanks to Ray Mumma

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 11, 2015

Ray Mumma holds a pipe confiscated from the KISS dressing room when the Rock N Rollers performed at ONU 40 years ago.

Ray said the dressing room smelled of marijuana, the pipe smelled of marijuana, so he confiscated it.

The pipe sat on a shelf in the police department in Ada for many years. Ray was a patrolman at the time, later to become police chief, now retired after 32 years on the force. (Monty Siekerman)
