You think the Iowa caucus was interesting - read this ONU election story

What goes around, comes around...but a generation later.

When Gina Grandillo became president of the ONU student senate, it was, she said jokingly, a vindication for her dad.

Her dad, Mike, a 1979 grad, lost his run for senate president to a friend, Mark Palmer, by a mere 12 votes.

But Mike went on to big things. He is now president of Madonna University in Livonia, Mich., with about 1,000 more students than ONU.

Mark is successful, too. He its CEO and cofounder of a capital management group in Columbus.

In fact, Gina and Mark met this weekend on campus during the winter meeting of the ONU board of trustees.

Keep watching that Railroad Park caboose - new lease of life on the way

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, February 1, 2016

Photos and story by Monty Siekerman

Hopefully, the caboose in the Railroad Park downtown will get a new lease on life. Hopefully, in 2016.

An expert on trains and their restoration met with townspeople, city officials, professors and students on Monday afternoon to see what needs to be done to spruce up and repair the caboose and how much the work will cost.

The caboose is an important part of the park...it is used as a background for photographs on an almost daily basis, children enjoy climbimg the stairs and turning the steering wheels, train buffs study it, and, for many, the caboose brings back memories of the heyday of trains.
