ADA -- John and Tabitha Coler of Philo, Ohio, have made a lead gift to establish The Shrivers Pharmacies and Coler LTC Endowed Scholarship Fund at Ohio Northern University. The endowment will support scholarships for Ohio Northern students majoring in pharmacy and related allied health sciences as well as business who demonstrate financial need and reside in the communities served by Shrivers Pharmacies.

The first scholarship will be awarded during the 2017-18 academic year.

Flu season strikes Ada schools

chool nurse, administration offers prevention techniques
Posted by Monty Siekerman on Wednesday, January 25, 2017

From our school nurse and administration:

There has been a steady increase in illnesses/absences among the students of Ada Schools. Respiratory symptoms of coughing, chest congestion, sore throat, runny nose and sneezing are among our students as well as the flu-like symptoms of fever, chills, headache and nausea. The spread of these airborne viruses can be controlled with prompt diagnosis and effective preventative measures.  

A child needs to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.  Any child placed on antibiotics is contagious to his peers until the first full day of medication has been administered.

No wonder I found myself in a doctors office reading a book about artists with one of these neurological conditions. The point of this article is to encourage those who have a progressive disease, neurological or otherwise, not to give up, test your talents, and live life as fully as possible every day. Even if you yourself don't have such a condition, you probably know someone who does.
