ONU’s HealthWise Pharmacy will be at Beatitudes tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 14, between 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., offering blood glucose checks to patrons.
A blood glucose screening checks the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood stream – too high or too low glucose could indicate a serious medical condition, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
These checks are part of a partnership between Beatitudes community center and Ohio Northern University’s HealthWise Pharmacy, offering free health screenings to residents in the community, according to Deb Curlis of Beatitudes, and Dr. Clay Miller of HealthWise.
Ada Historical Society will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, Feb. 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the meeting room at the Ada Public Library, 320 N. Main Street.
This meeting is open to the public, and is always open to new members.
Traffic accidents in Ada have decreased drastically in the past three years, with 37 reported in 2019, 42 in 2018 and 59 in 2017.
Accidents, criminal summons issued and incident reports also decreased from 2018 to 2019.
Traffic citations increased and parking violations remained nearly unchanged from 2018 to 2019.
Those are among statistics Michael Harnishfeger, Ada police chief, reported to Ada council in his comprehensive 30-page year-end report. The report includes a four-page overview of the department, plus other department information.

Those furry catkins can only mean that spring is on the way. The pussy willow in the Ada Depot Park is awakening from the winter of 2019-20. We will continue to watch as it announces spring is here.

David Dellifield, director of ONU’s McIntosh Center, would not have met the Kenton fire captain if it hadn’t been for Hardin Leadership.
“The program connected me to people in the county that I would not have met on a daily basis,” said Dellifield.
A graduate of the 2013 Hardin Leadership Program, Dellifield holds a bachelor’s degree from ONU and a master’s from Bluffton University. Having grown up in the Allen East area and living out of state for a few years, however, put him at a disadvantage when it came to a knowledge of area individuals and resources.
