All kidding aside, it was the real “town and gown” event.
Before we ring your doorbell for Halloween, let’s revisit Friday’s world-record football toss attempt.
It involved all Ada school classes from 2019 to 2032, more ONU students and faculty than you could count, just about every village official you could name plus a supporting community cast who wouldn’t have missed it for the world-record setting event it was billed to be.
To help set the stage, imagine bussing nearly 1,000 Ada students from the school to the football stadium. That started at 11:30 a.m., with kick off – in this case, pass off – slated for 2 p.m.
Current and former Ohio Northern University students, in collaboration with faculty mentors, have been involved in a high-impact learning experience that resulted in the publication of an article in a prestigious research journal.
The article, “A predator-based psychosocial stress animal model of PTSD in females: Influence of estrous phase and ovarian hormones,” was published in the September 2019 edition of Hormones and Behavior.
The project was supported by a $411,453 research grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute that was awarded to ONU Associate Professor of Psychology Phillip Zoladz, Ph.D., and former ONU pharmacy faculty member Boyd Rorabaugh.
St. Rita’s Medical Center will host The 2019 Palliative Care and Hospice Symposium, focusing on presentations and discussion on palliative and hospice care and dispelling the myths that surround these services.
The event is Wednesday, Oct. 30, at the UNOH Event Center, 450 N Cable Road, Lima. Registration begins at 7:15 a.m., with presentations take place from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Breakfast and lunch are provided to those who attend. Additional registration and agenda is at Eventbrite.com, or by calling 419-226-9353.

ADA - The injury-riddled Ada football team lost another shootout to visiting Paulding 70-40 in Northwest Conference action on a chilly night last Friday at War Memorial Stadium.
The teams combined for over 1,100 yards in offense and 110 points in the wild contest. Ada junior quarterback Brandon Hull accounted for six touchdowns and close to 400 yards in offense, but it was not enough to offset a career game by Panther senior running back Jacob Deisler.
Deisler totaled a whopping 362 rushing yards and five touchdowns as Paulding ran by Ada for 525 yards. Deisler surpassed the 1,100-yard mark on the season with his huge game.
