Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law Dean Charles H. Rose, III, JD, LLM, was one of more than 150 law school deans across the nation who signed a joint statement denouncing the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol siege and judicial efforts to overturn legitimate presidential election results.
The statement, dated Tuesday, Jan. 12, calls the insurrection “an assault on our democracy and the rule of law” and maintains that, despite their diversity in political viewpoints, this “is such a moment” that called for law deans to “speak as one.”
Rev. Philip Compton, Ph.D. fire chaplain, standing on the right side of the photo, provided a dedication of the new vehicle and his dedication follow:
Friends, we are gathered here today to dedicate and to seek God’s blessing on this new Spartan/Smeal pumper/engine and our firefighters that have been made ready for service to our community.
K-12 schools whose staff can be vaccinated next week have been notified. All other schools will be contacted shortly with information on when their K-12 staff will be permitted to receive a vaccine
Ada school staff is on the list for eligible school personnel in Ohio to begin receiving vaccines in Week 3 (beginning Feb. 15), according to an announcement from the governor’s office.
According to the announcement, every public school district in the state - except for one - has agreed to resume in-person schooling by March 1, which was a requirement for staff to have early access to the vaccine.
