That's exactly what ONU students did in the 10th annual Polar Plunge

It’s a bone chilling experience, but someone has to do it – we guess.

Ohio Northern University students provided new meaning to the term ice-breaker with the annual Polar Plunge from on Saturday at the pond inside of fraternity circle.

The annual event, sponsored by Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, raises money for the American Red Cross. Students pay $5 each to jump into the lake or to sponsor a friend.

This is the 10th annual plunge, which raises between $1,000 and $2,000 each year.

Members of the Ada-Liberty Township fire department broke the ice for the jumpers.

Both ONU teams win on Saturday

ONU men's and women's basketball teams finished their regular seasons with wins on Saturday versus Muskingum. Both game results follow.

In the Bluffton practice of Blanchard Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology

During a noon break between seeing patients, the Icon caught up with Dr. Molly Senokozlieff, M.D., women’s health specialist. Her office is across from Bluffton Hospital in Blanchard Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology (formerly called Bluffton Woman’s Care).

When in Bluffton she may see 20 patients or more during the day, and her patient load had reached a dozen when we arrived. We talked quickly because one of her patients in Bluffton was in labor.

She pointed out that an early experience in her first year of residency at Ohio State University Hospital was being in the room during her sister’s delivery of triplets.
