Well, it took long enough. Old Man Winter chose the final weekend of January to make his appearance in Ada. Mana Hashimoto, Icon intern, shares these snow photos of campus from Sunday.

Joins contemporaries in condemning Capitol attack

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.”

Ada's new fire truck dedication service took place Jan. 25. Click here for a story and photos of the truck.

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.
