Community Health Professionals will hold a free "lunch and learn," in October.
The program titled "Ask the Pharmacist," will be held from noon to 1 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16, at Community Health Professionals, 1200 S. Main St., Ada.
Ask the Pharmacist is presented by P&R Home IV and P&R Medical Connection. Sponsored by Liberty National Bank of Ada, participants will receive a box lunch from Northern on Main.
There is no cost to attend. Donations are welcome and will be put towards the hospice patient care fund. Please RSVP by Oct. 13 to 419-634-7443.
Not only is the Township of Liberty alive and well. In Ada, so is the Statue of Liberty.
Just ask students who attend Ready, Set, Grow Preschool. The Icon visted the students on Wednesday, just as they dressed up as the famous statue located in a New York City harbor.
Each student has a Liberty flame, crown and message board.
Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present “The Importance of Being Earnest” from Sept. 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. There also will be two matinee performances on Sept. 27 and 28 at 2 p.m.
Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece “The Importance of Being Earnest” focuses on two bachelor friends, upper-crust dandy Algernon Moncrieff and the most reliable John Worthing J.P., who lead double lives to court the attentions of the desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. The gallants must then grapple with the uproarious consequences of their ruse and with the formidable Lady Bracknell.
How long have you been teaching at Ada High School? I began my 35th year on Aug. 18.
What do you do at ONU? I instruct labs for first year chemistry students. My normal assignments are Engineering Chemistry in the fall and Introductory Chemistry (mainly pharmacy/biology majors) in the spring.
Ada is the place to be this weekend! On Saturday, Main Street comes alive the same way it does every September – the Harvest and Herb Festival hits the street. This Saturday is also Family Day at ONU, and ONU is encouraging family members to visit the community of Ada as part of the festivities. We’re not kidding; Ada is the place to be!
This weekend is a great time to show some of your Ada Pride! Please help us keep our community looking great. If you see trash on sidewalks, please pick it up and place it in the appropriate trash receptacle. If the sunshine prompts you to mow, make sure your grass clippings are not on the sidewalks or in the streets.

Skirting the fleece, drop spindle, Turkish spindle, roving, drum carder, setting the twist, bobbin fleece, barber pole, alpaca, angora, cradle picker, spin the cloud, natural dyes--is your mind spinning yet? If so, just ask Elena (Monaco) Dearth of Ada to explain any of these terms to you, and she will weave you into her world of woolen fibers.
Elena, a native of the Adirondacks near Lake Placid in New York, will also weave a tale for you of the day she met Def Leppard as a teenager while working as a horseback riding tour instructor.
Interested in star gazing? Ohio Northern University's Observatory will hold a star party celebrating galaxies -- in particular, The Andromeda Galaxy -- on Friday, Sept 19 between 8:30 and 10:30 p.m.
According to Dr. John Pinkney, the Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. (It's "only" 2 million light years away!) The Astronomy Club will be present to point out this galaxy in the sky. The Andromeda Galaxy is just visible to the naked eye on a dark night, if you strain. Follow that up with views through binoculars and telescopes for the full Andromeda experience.
