Ohio Northern University is one of the nation’s best universities in terms of “value-added,” and fourth in the state of Ohio, according to a new report published by the Brookings Institution.
The report draws on government and private sources to analyze colleges and universities in terms of “the difference between actual alumni outcomes (like salaries) and the outcomes one would expect given a student’s characteristics and type of institution.” The study is designed to assess how well colleges and universities contribute to their graduates’ economic success.
Last week was a great week for farming. Here, a piece of land just west of Grass Run Industrial Park is being tilled in preparation for applying anhydrous ammonia.
Part of the field will be used as a test plot for corn, the remainder put into soybeans.
Hardin County is fourth in the state in the sale of crops and livestock among the 88 counties in Ohio.
Remember, when you get stuck behind a slow-moving piece of farm equipment this time of year that agriculture is big business in Hardin County.

Ray Mumma holds a pipe confiscated from the KISS dressing room when the Rock N Rollers performed at ONU 40 years ago.
Ray said the dressing room smelled of marijuana, the pipe smelled of marijuana, so he confiscated it.
The pipe sat on a shelf in the police department in Ada for many years. Ray was a patrolman at the time, later to become police chief, now retired after 32 years on the force. (Monty Siekerman)

You can pay up to $150 nowadays to see a KISS concert, but 40 years ago to the day, ONU students got into King-Horn gym to see KISS, The James Gang, and The Flock for a mere $5.
Pictured (seated) are Ryan Oberlin, Abigail Green, and Professor Jimmy Wilson talking informally with some audience members following a showing of a 33-minute documentary Saturday at the Dicke Building.
As a project for an historical geography class, the students interviewed several people who attended the long-ago concert and turned those interviews into a documentary. For Ada it was a wild night.
The venerable sycamore tree, located near the Ada Theater, got a new lease on life Friday when the tree commission voted to spend about $2,400 to keep it going.
The tree is a fixture in the heart of downtown Ada, estimated to be 120 years old. It has lace bug problems and needs trimming for the safety of nearby property and passersby along the road and sidewalk.
The tree is in front of 211 S. Main, a house recently bought by Matt Brown. He wrote the commission asking for advice on saving the tree and safety aspects.
The commission accepted the proposal from Tawa Tree Service after Brad Brooks, certified arborist, studied the tree and its problems.
