ONU to present discussion on "Living both faith and science"

Posted by Mary Pannabecke... on Thursday, October 16, 2014

Ohio Northern University Department of Philosophy and Religion and the Office of the Chaplain will present a discussion on “Living Both Faith and Science” in the English Chapel at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22. The event is free and open to the public.

This event will be a conversation about the relationship between science and religion. In contemporary society, many think that science and religion are “at war” with each other. However, scholars have challenged this view as overly simplistic. This “conflict view” neglects the ways that religion and science historically have been sometimes complementary and, at other times, in competition.

Restoring an Ada community treasure

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, October 16, 2014

Thank you Ada Kiwanis Club for choosing to lead an ambitious undertaking to refurbish the Pennsylvania Railroad caboose in the depot park.

The plans from the club are beginning to circulate around town and the Icon thinks its a great idea.

Just to show what the caboose once looked it, (that's not Ada's caboose in the newly painted photo) we've posted the photo above. The color is Pennsylvania Railroad maroon, for purist color-minded people.

Below this story is the same photo plus a look at the current state of Ada's caboose number 477779.
