Ever hear of a "Bull Bear?" You might be one...here's how

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, March 4, 2015

What's a Bull Bear?
The Konnor Baker story, which was highly popular on Ada Icon, taught us a new term: Bull Bear. Seems that Ada High School athletes who also become standout players at the local university are called Bull Bears, the partial name of each schools' mascots...AHS Bulldogs/ONU Polar Bears, clever idea.

Thanks to Conelia Sauvie Dixon, an alumna of both schools, a Bulldog and Polar Bear, hence a Bull Bear, for adding a new term to my lexicon.

Ada Roads
Ada has 21 miles of roads of roads, including village and state routes. That's like driving from here to Dunkirk and back.
