Veggie Tales

Why I am talking about vegetables and specifically broccoli?

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Veggie Tales is an American Christian animation project created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki. The computer-generated show features various fruits and vegetables that retell stories from the Bible. I loved watching these features with my daughter when she was a child and I remember singing some of the silly songs in the car.

Kent State Guardsmen oral history project invitation

The Kent State Guardsmen Oral History Project, an award-winning endeavor that recently received grant funding, is continuing to seek former guardsmen who deployed to Kent in May 1970 when the shootings occurred.

“These men were castigated and vilified in the aftermath, and so understandably, they didn’t talk about it publicly,” says David Strittmatter, Ph.D., Ohio Northern University assistant professor of history and project organizer. “Time has a healing effect. We’re wanting to know: How has this followed you? How has it affected your life, if at all?”
