Electoral College's glitch can't be easily fixed
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, May 28, 2020

“The Electoral College continues to be perhaps the most maligned feature in our Constitution. It will be front and center Wednesday when the Supreme Court hears arguments concerning a seemingly small but essential part of the complicated process we use to select the president and vice-president of the United States.”

Ada resident and Ohio Northern University professor of political science wrote the above statement as an opinion column published earlier this month posted on CNN.

Mortar boards fly

Ada HS class of 2020 impromptu celebration on the football field
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, May 26, 2020

After an unofficial escort around the village by Ada and ONU fire and police vehicles on Saturday, 50 members of the Ada High School class of 2020 toss their mortar boards high in the air at the War Memorial Park, celebrating the completion of their education in the Ada schools.

Social distancing was closely observed – in a manner of speaking. No teachers or administration of the school were involved in the celebration.

The entire event was planned and carried out by members of the senior class, and we might add, under the rules of the day, the class members were solely responsible, despite the fact that this was one of the most unkept secrets in Ada this year.
