An old-fashioned flower

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, June 18, 2017

Longtime Ada resident Claire Vaubel is photographed in her garden standing among a popular, old fashioned flower: the hollyhock.

She happened to be wearing clothes that almost match the tall, stocky plant. She lives on East Lima Avenue adjacent to campus.

Residence halls are visible in the background. She has been an active member of the Ada community, and her late husband, George, taught law at ONU for many years. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Lynne Scott, certified Aqua Zumba instructor, puts class members through a workout session at the Ada Pool on Saturday.

Despite her arm in a sling, Lynne goes through the phases of the workout on dry land while about a dozen people follow suit in the water.

This year, she is holding classes twice a week from 7:10-7:50 p.m. on Wednesdays and 12:10-12:50 p.m. on Saturdays.

Sessions of the fast-paced exercise routine continue from now until the pool closes in late August. Those under 18 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult.

The free show begins at 8 p.m. at Dial-Roberson stadium. The weather forecast calls for possible thunderstorms during the day, but less so at "curtain time" in the evening. Although the brief show begins at 8 p.m., attendees are encouraged to be at the stadium by 7:30 p.m. 

About 1,000 people attended last year's performance. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Internships can become pivot points

ONU prof describes value of internship
Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, June 17, 2017

Beyond typical summer jobs, internships can prove to be an especially profitable way for college students to invest time in their futures.

“Internships offer a great way for students to discover whether their intended professional field is the career path they really wish to explore,” said Matt Lambdin, Ed.D., director of experiential learning in Ohio Northern's business college

“These opportunities put students in the workplace, and they get a real feel for what they do after graduation. They can make sure this is what they want to do on a daily basis after they graduate and, if so, determine what skills they need to develop in moving forward.”
