Mercy Health and the Putnam YMCA share a common mission to improve the health and well-being of their communities.
The Putnam County YMCA and Mercy Health have partnered to bring renovations and improved access to the YMCA facility at 101 Putnam Parkway in Ottawa, Ohio. The “Mercy Health Fitness Room” will feature new equipment, cameras for security, and improved Wi-Fi coverage for members and guests of the YMCA.
Additionally, members of the Putnam YMCA will now enjoy 24-hour access to the Fitness Center. This improves access to healthy activities for members 18 years or older.
Ohio Northern women's indoor track and field head coach Jason Maus believes his team has earned something ahead of the 2019-20 season.
"Pressure is a privilege," Maus said.
It's a phrase Maus has heard for years, and this season he believes it applies to the Polar Bears. But rather than using that phrase word for word, Maus is making a slight adjustment.

ONU women's basketball team won and the men's team lost in recent acxtion. Here's the report on both games.
Women's game
Through five games, Ohio Northern women's basketball head coach Michele Durand has learned a couple things about her team. The unbeaten Polar Bears are tough and have a team-first mentality.
Those characteristics were on display Saturday inside the ONU Sports Center. Northern used a late fourth-quarter flurry to edge Mount Union 58-57 in its Ohio Athletic Conference opener.
You might say it's for the person who has everything.
Or, you could simply shop really local and purchased an Ada-made original. What would that original be? You are looking at it: an Ada-made Wilson football.
After all, an Ada-made Wilson football is about as unique a gift as you can find for just about any Ada or Liberty Township, or for that matter, Hardin County resident.
Those Wilson footballs with Ada fingerprints are available for $50 each at Gallery of the Arts, Main Street, Ada, and at The Inn at ONU. Proceeds from football sales go to the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.
