The gallery season at Ohio Northern University kicks-off on Sunday, Sept. 17, with “Home Is Where the Art Is,” a printmaking show by artists Marilyn (Turner) McPheron and Judith Steele.
The Hardin County natives will share their intaglio and relief prints, and artists books in this first 2017–18 exhibition at the Elzay Gallery of Art. After graduating from high school, both artists expanded their artistic capabilities through college, professional experiences, and personal endeavors.
Now, these professional artists return home to Hardin County to share their work, perspectives, and mutual love for creating art.
Just east of Ada, corn and soybean farms are turning into a giant wind farm. The Hog Creek Wind Farm will soon sprout 30 wind turbines north of Dola and Dunkirk, a $100 million investment developed by EDP Renewables. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Pictured are four turbines reaching for the sky, while a fifth (at left) is being hefted into place by a tall crane.

Rhett Grant, Ada Public Library director, demonstrated what a 3D printer can do and explained how it works during two sessions held at the library last week.
He plans another meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday for those interested.
Here, Connie Fleming president of the library board, and Angela Carman and daughter Isabelle watch the machine make a ghost out of plastic.
The equipment is on loan from NORWELD, a consortium of libraries, and will travel from library to library for demonstrations. The 3D printer takes a coil of plastic and forms whatever the computer software tells it to.
That's a bumble bee enjoying a bed of sedum. There's a pretty good chance that a cousin of this bee is on your backyard sedum. For a longer shot check the next photo.
