Watch your step - don't fall

Appropriately on the first day of autumn (or fall)

Today is the first day of fall and is also National Falls Prevention Awareness day. In recognition of this day, ONU's chapter of American Society of Consultant Pharmacists is holding a Falls Prevention Day walk on the ONU Tundra.

Pictured here holding a stability ball are (from left) Hailey Martin, Marykate Munz, and Amy Bullimore, all exercise physiology majors.

Various pharmacy organizations set up tables and had information available to keep in shape.

A swim, anyone?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, September 22, 2017

No one would want to take a dive into this dry swimming pool on a hot summer day (well, it was still summer until 4:02 p.m. Friday). Temps reached near 90 degrees on Friday, the last day of summer. People would have flocked to the pool, but Ada's favorite swimming hole was dry as a bone because a million dollar renovation is underway. Never fear, the pool will be ready for its usual opening time in late May with a new splash pad and other improvements. But, a swim would have been welcome this week when the temperatures remained in the high 80s all week, probably the hottest week of 2017.

A: 1,352

Q: How many dogs owners are registered in Ada's zip code?
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, September 22, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
The Ada Dog Park Association is raising funds for an off-leash dog park. This map shows the need: There are 1,352 registered dog owners in 45810 ZIP code, according to the Hardin County auditor's office.

Mapmaker Jimmy Wilson took the auditor's information and plotted where fury friends live in the Ada area. One might be surprised to learn so many dogs live in the community. There are probably more dogs here than this map shows because not everyone who owns a dog buys a license, which if caught could be an expensive offense.
