Maus welcomes back 22 letterwinners from the 2015-16 seasons. "We like our chances this year in the OAC," said head coach Jason Maus. "We return a nice group from last season and hope to build on the success we had last year."

The latest display at Elzay Gallery of Art

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, January 19, 2017

There is a piece of white cloth that the sun turned blue in the current exhibit at Elzay Gallery of Art. Impossible?
Emily Jay (pictured) explains that a chemical used by photographers long ago to develop pictures was applied to the white cloth, except where the stars are.
She and a student carried the cloth out into the sun, which because of the chemical, turned the white cloth blue, except for the stars which were covered to keep them white.
Emily knew this would occur because she teaches photography at ONU.
How does a blue cloth with white stars fit into the theme of the show?
Emily said the cloth looks like the ceilings of the cathedrals in Italy.

It all above board. This is a photo illustration - we've enhanced the actual photo - of a homemade snowflake created at the Ada Public Library late last week. It's actually the inside of a rather large snowflake, which was part of a snowflake art class for school students. The entire snowflake is below.
