Chris North has been to the Dominican Republic so many times, she’s losing track.  North, professor of Communication and Public Health at Ohio Northern University, is planning another trip November 23-30.  If memory serves her, it’s her “ninth or tenth.”

A program of ONU, the Dominican Republic trip this month will also include five students; Hannah Stokes, professor of psychology; and Jeff Allison, retired faculty member, College of Pharmacy. The congregation of Ada United Methodist Church also provides support, as it has for previous trips.

She never leaves the court. Her only respite, the occasional time out or short breather in between sets.

She's different. Her uniform clashes with those of her teammates, making her stand out and easily identifiable.

Cetirizine injection is now an alternative treatment option to IV diphenhydramine (brand name Benadryl).

The approved dose is once every 24 hours as needed for acute hives.

Otterbein led 14-13 in the 5th set but a kill by senior Sydney Bapst (Grove City), a Cardinal attacking error, and another Bapst kill won the match for the Polar Bears.
