Where will you find this fashionable gentleman wearing the Icon cap?

This fashionable gentleman, well call him Fred, is sporting an Ada Icon cap.

The challenge, dear reader, is to guess where you'll find him.

Hint: you'll see him inside a business on South Main.

Answer. Fred helps keep store with Ruth Roider at Gallery for the Arts. Ruth won the Ada Icon cap at a recent Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting. (Monty Siekerman photo)

When you are not feeling well...

No one knows you like your primary care provider

Bluffton Hospital provides this feature on the importance of primary care providers (PCP). If you don't already have a PCP call the Blanchard Valley Medical Provider Physician Referral Line at 419-422.APPT (2778).

When you are not feeling well, it is important to contact your primary care provider (PCP) for guidance first.

This is the best place to receive care for common illnesses, minor injuries or routine wellness checks. Your PCP can be your partner in managing your health over a period of time, making chronic conditions less symptomatic.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor,

ONU's chapter of the Student Society of Health System Pharmacists is participating in National Poison Prevention Week, March 19-25. The week nationally highlights the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. 

We invite others to join the movement by participating and advocating for the importance of poison prevention. 

 According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), poisoning is the leading cause of injury death in the United States. In 2014, poison centers managed 2.9 million cases, about 2.2 million of which were about people coming into contact with dangerous or potentially dangerous substances. 

ONU ranks high in NCAA standings

Ohio Northern is ranked 25th nationally in the Learfield Directors' Cup standings. Points are scored in nine men's and nine women's sports relative to their final standings in the NCAA Championships for those 18 sports.

The Polar Bears have scored 226.25 through March 15 and are expected to move up in the standings after the women's basketball team reached the Elite 8 of the NCAA III Tournament.

Happy St. Pat Day!

St. Patrick died March 17, AD 461. He brought Christianity to Ireland. Thus, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated March 17 every year, which will be Friday this year.
