Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law will present the 2014 Kormendy Lecture in the Large Moot Court Room on Wednesday, April 23, at 11:15 a.m. The program will feature a presentation by Fredrik Logevall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America’s Vietnam.”
Logevall is an award-winning and renowned historian, accomplished educator, and prolific writer on the Vietnam War. His epic and groundbreaking book “Embers of War” won both the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in History and the prestigious Parkman Prize, which deemed it an “extraordinary work of modern history.”

In honor of National Library Week, Sunday to Saturday, April 13 - 19, the Ada Public Library will wipe your slate clean. If you have overdue book fines up to $5, you win.
All you need to do is donate canned goods exchange for your book fine payment during National Library Week, according to Amanda Bennett, library director.
The only fine print is that the food donations don't apply to replacement costs.

“It’s meditative,” says Andrew Steingass about working at the potter’s wheel. Andrew (Andy) recalls seeing other art students at Ada High with clay on their jeans and clothes.
“Why would they want that clay all over them?” was Andy’s thought back then. Andy did take art classes in high school, drawing and painting, but didn’t take ceramics class. It was during an art appreciation course at Ohio Northern University that Andy began to feel the pull of the wheel.
The first meeting of the Hardin County Hootenannies was held at the Ag Credit meeting room. We want to thank Ag Credit for this opportunity to meet in such a nice place.
The meeting was called to order by president Laura Spradlin. Advisor Ray Davis asked if everyone saw the newspaper article that told about changes in the goat show and some other rules for the fair.
