Members of the Ohio Northern University HealthWise pharmacy staff will administer the first round of covid-19 vaccines to staff and teachers from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

"We are grateful for Ohio Northern University in being a wonderful neighbor and partner, not just in arranging our vaccinations, but also in other areas throughout this pandemic," said Skilliter.

The vaccine clinic was originally planned for Feb. 19. The winter storm of last week caused a shipment delay and the event was moved to Feb. 26.

Let it snow - part 2

With temperatures in the mid-40s the snow is sinking quickly
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 24, 2021

Lots of photos in today's story -
Today temperatures reached the mid-40s and the past snowfall is a melting minor glacier.

Despite that here are more snowfall memories from Ada Icon viewers. You'd find animals, snow plows, rural scenes, at least one dog attempting to navigate the snow plus a polar bear. Ada can't have snow without polar bears.

In addition, Jenn Hiester provides four scenes as today's featured photos. Thank you to all the viewers who participated in this photo project.

Conservation and Tillage conference virtual this spring

This conference is traditionally held at Ohio Northern University
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, February 23, 2021

This spring's Conservation Tillage and Technology Conference traditionally held on the Ohio Northern University campus is virtual this year. 

Four days of topic related programming will be provided March 9-12, (Tuesday-Friday). There is still time to register. Each day will start at 8 a.m. and will have five hours of programming, ending about 2 p.m.

That adds up to 20 hours of presentations on current topics important for farmers, crop consultants and educators.

Because the program is virtual and therefore travel is not an issue, the planning committee has put together a list of national experts from universities, agencies, industry professionals and others.
