Don't ask ONU Engineering Dean Baumgartner if he likes pies.

He probably did at one time, but after March 19 his tastes changed. Here's a report from the ONU Engineering Facebook page:

"Last night (March 19) I participated in ONU Relay for Life participated in "Pie a Professor" at ONU's Relay for Life event. After 30 minutes of nearly constant pies, I tried to buy my way out of another pie. I was only partially successful. At least it was for a good cause!" - Dean Baumgartner

Here's a frame from the Ada High School Interclass Video of 2016. It's a parody for the benefit of students, staff and community members.

The video uses "We Didn't Start the Fire," by Billy Joel. Click here, sit back and be prepared to be entertained.  Several still frames from the video are below.

What is it about dogs and snow?

There's something about an attraction - or need - to stick your snout in the snow and snort. You probably have a selfie of your dog in a similar pose. 

This is Monty's Siekerman's dog, Abby, doing what dogs do when it snows.

Four Ada village employees completed the sophomore class of the Tree Commission Academy held at ONU and sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Yes, they even took exams during the March 2-3 sessions.

The freshman class was held in Ada at ONU in December.

Pictured are (from left) Rob Mix, Cheryl Geer, Jim Neiswander, and Jamie Hall. People from several other communities attended, as well.
