Spring is in the air...or is it Summer?

CHECK OUT OUR PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM -

Spring is in the air...or is it Summer?

Sunday's high was 64 degrees, besting the all time record by four degrees. Record low for Jan. 22 is minus 9 in Ada.

Here, Samantha Loomis steers a convertible into a parking lot on campus. Top down cars are seldom found around here in January.

The camera caught runners running, a kid hover boarding, a pickup game of basketball, one of many motorcycles headed through town, and more. People were sure enjoying the great outdoors with the sunshine and warmth.

Ada and ONU have long connection to Bluffton pharmacy

And, more ONU connections are on the way
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, January 18, 2017

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - There's an interesting, long-standing link between Ada, Ohio Northern University and pharmacies in Bluffton.

Greg Conkling past owner of Greg's Pharmacy, Bluffton, purchased the pharmacy from John Skelly (1942 ONU pharmacy grad) in 1986 and owned it for 26 years.

Conkling was an ONU pharmacy grad.

Deb Retterer, a pharmacist at Greg's since 1989, who retired at the end of 2016, was also an ONU pharmacy grad.

Deb's replacement is Bluffton native, Andrea Williams, also an ONU pharmacy graduate.

Here's the story of the latest Ada-ONU pharmacy connection to Bluffton:
