Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 11, 2015

Ohio Northern University is one of the nation’s best universities in terms of “value-added,” and fourth in the state of Ohio, according to a new report published by the Brookings Institution.

The report draws on government and private sources to analyze colleges and universities in terms of “the difference between actual alumni outcomes (like salaries) and the outcomes one would expect given a student’s characteristics and type of institution.” The study is designed to assess how well colleges and universities contribute to their graduates’ economic success.

A great week for farming

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 11, 2015

Last week was a great week for farming. Here, a piece of land just west of Grass Run Industrial Park is being tilled in preparation for applying anhydrous ammonia.

Part of the field will be used as a test plot for corn, the remainder put into soybeans.

Hardin County is fourth in the state in the sale of crops and livestock among the 88 counties in Ohio.

Remember, when you get stuck behind a slow-moving piece of farm equipment this time of year that agriculture is big business in Hardin County.

A scent of Ada history - thanks to Ray Mumma

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 11, 2015

Ray Mumma holds a pipe confiscated from the KISS dressing room when the Rock N Rollers performed at ONU 40 years ago.

Ray said the dressing room smelled of marijuana, the pipe smelled of marijuana, so he confiscated it.

The pipe sat on a shelf in the police department in Ada for many years. Ray was a patrolman at the time, later to become police chief, now retired after 32 years on the force. (Monty Siekerman)
