The world's not enough without Sean Connery as James Bond

(Hum the James Bond Theme while reading this)

Duh duh duh duh
Duh duh duh 

da da tee da da

In my mind there's only one “Bond, James Bond.”

Sean Connery.

The first time I saw James Bond was in the Carma Theatre with a bunch of the boys…Kent Kinsinger, John Lehman, probably Max Eastman. Maybe Larry Eikenbary. We were, I believe, freshmen on bicycles.

The Dunkin' Donuts building and property is taking shape on State Route 103. The parking area is paved and marked and lots of inside work is in process. Watch the Icon for opening details coming soon.

FROM ADA ICON - Note: The Icon introduces a new, twice a month column by an Ada High School student. This is our new columnist's initial column.

My name is Amelia Alexander. I am 15 years old. I was born and raised here in Ada, where I attend school. I adore reading, writing, and learning. I write poetry for my own pleasure in my spare time. 

When I’m not writing, I’m running, playing volleyball or tennis, or spending time with friends and family. I’m a member of book club, Ada Mental Health Alliance, and language club, all of which I have joined through school.  

University offers graduate-level virtual pedagogy and remote classroom course

Bluffton University is offering a graduate-level course on creating quality learning experiences for K-12 remote classrooms, Jan.11-Feb. 26, 2021.

“This course is timely, as many teachers are working with students remotely and those teachers who are not instructing remotely could be at any time,” said Dr. Amy Mullins, director of graduate programs in education.

“Through this course, teachers will develop a plan to organize for teaching remotely and build a repertoire of strategies for online learning.”
