The Ohio Northern men's and women's swimming and diving teams will join teams from across the country in an attempt to break the Guiness Book of World Records mark for the most people treading water at the same time.
The Polar Bears will participate in the event on Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 5 pm at the ONU Sports Center.
The goal of this World Record attempt is to raise awareness of the global drowning pandemic and to raise donations for the International Water Safety Foundation.

Interested in local history and putting that interest to use in community service?

Rhett Grant, the new Ada Public Library director, has been seeking out people in Ada who have an interest in Ada/ONU history to form what might be called the Ada Historical Society.
The public is invited to an initial meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday at the library to discuss what projects to undertake, when and where to meet, what historical resources are available and where they are located, etc.

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.
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.

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.
