15 with Richard Gainey, Santa, and the WONB station manager - all rolled into one

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 19, 2015

Richard Gainey will retire from ONU this year, but his gig as Santa will continue, which is good news for all the good little boys and girls, adults, too. Richard wears many hats: Mr. WONB, Mr. Claus, Friend of Unloved Pets, and Budding Artist.

As founder and general manager of the campus radio station, in 1988, what changes have you observed?
The profession is constantly changing. For example, what used to be done on a 10-foot long piece of equipment, can now be accomplished on a laptop. Radio ownership is trending toward stations being nationally owned with regional management.

As a biology/pre-med major at Ohio Northern University, Michael Chad Bridges didn’t think he’d be studying food waste. But that’s exactly where the 21-year-old’s senior project has led him.  His research has so convinced Bridges of the economic and environmental value of composting, he’s spoken with ONU officials and the village council of Ada about investing in a system to compost food scraps.

You could say he was inspired by love.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, February 14, 2015

Deb Curlis, Richard Gainey, Jane Helser judge the 20 desserts at the Ada Public Library on Friday.

The Ada Public Library third annual Valentines Chocolate Bake-Off at the Ada Public Library was a grand success with 20 entries and more than 50 tasters enjoying scrumptious desserts.

Young bakers showed their cooking ability. Two fifth graders from the Ada Schools took first and second place: Paige Jochims, first, with chocolate peanut butter dessert, and Sandra Litton, second, with chocolate strawberry pie. Molly Sheets took third place with her frozen mocha cheesecake. Nobody was counting calories.
