Whatever happened to the efforts to have a dog park in Ada? Jimmy Wilson attended the park board monthly meeting on Monday night to say he was willing to take leadership to make the proposed park become a reality.

Wilson, a business professor and former village councilman, learned that a couple of years ago, the park board agreed to dedicate some land for a dog park. The property is located near the end of East Lehr Avenue, north of the horse arena.

For anybody writing a children's book titled, The Polar Bear and the Camel," here's your front cover picture.

The polar bear and camel would be natural predators, so it's a good thing they live far apart in the wild. But at ONU on Wednesday afternoon, they had a good time together.

The Student Planning Committee sponsored the event which offered free camel rides. ONU mascot Klondike took them up on the deal, as did many students, faculty, and staff members and their children.

The camels came from Jungle Island Zoo in nearby Delphos.

In our continuing quest to stump our readers, can you identify where this is located.
Answer: ONU Planetarium, a view of, perhaps Saturn with a ring, inlaid in brick on the east side of the building, which can be seen by drivers along Lincoln Ave.

Upper-level design students from Ohio Northern University will host a Grafik Intervention on Friday, April 22, from 8 to 10 p.m. in Ada.

The event will take place at the historic Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, located in the business district.

In addition, an exhibit will highlight the history and significance of the depot beginning at 8 p.m. Parking will be limited to the east end of the depot’s parking lot.

The event is free and open to the public.
